I thought it would be worse so I am happy with not gaining. I am only 2.2lbs away from my 3rd 10% goal and I am .2lbs away from the big 60! Next week I will be there for sure. I don't think I will make my mini goal of 163 by next Monday but I will be close and I am happy with that.
We had a cold and rainy weekend. It was nice to have some rain, we rarely get it around here. It was so windy that my husband had to go out and fix the yard decorations several times this weekend. It was crazy!
I need to get my butt back into doing Turbo Jam. I haven't done it in a couple weeks! I have been walking everyday at work though. I don't want to get off track, especially at this time of year. I can't believe that a year ago I was 60lbs heavier and a size 22/24! I didn't think I would ever make it this far and now I am over half way to my goal and I can really feel the difference. What a wonderful feeling!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was slow and nice. I didn't want to wake up this morning though and I could have went for one more day off. Oh well, 5 more days until the next weekend!
Nothing new here. My son just turned 7 last Wednesday and he feels really important now. He says that when you turn 7 you are a real big boy. Six is just a little boy! He is so funny! He got some Star Wars Legos for his b-day, we gave him the Star Destroyer, he told me that it is his most appreciated present! He is having his first b-day party with friends next week. I hope they can all come.
My weight keeps taking two steps forward and one step back. At least iy keeps moving down. I am so ready to be at my goal. Oh! I am now wearing my size 14 jeans. I haven't been this size since high school! What a great feeling! I better go buy a pair of size 12's so I am ready when I get there. I am so happy that Wal-Mart sells their jeans for $10.00. I don't know what I would do if I had to pay more. I also think I am ready to buy the next smaller size of scrubs for work! Yeah!
It is not much but again I will take it! I wanted something better but I was not very good about exercising this week, AGAIN! I did walk everyday at work and I got up one morning and did Turbo Jam. I just need to do it. I will be walking at lunch today and I shall do my best at getting my butt out of be early enough to exercise. I stayed up too late last night, I was reading a book and couldn't put it down and I had to finish it so I stayed up until 11:00, one hour past my bedtime, to finish it. It was worth it!
I had a good weekend. I got a new dryer, mine decided to die on me on Saturday, my big laundry day. I bought my book on Saturday and read that all weekend. Sat night we went to Santa's Theme park, they had a free night for the company I work for and we went. It is a bit early for Christmas themed stuff for me yet but the kids had a good time.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am down today. Yeah! I wasn't expecting it to be down at all. I wasn't expecting it to be up either. I didn't hardly exercise this week but I did watch my points. I need to get back into the swing of things. I am so tired lately and I think it is because of my lack of exercise. Today the weather is beautiful so I will be walking on my lunch. Tomorrow I will definitely be getting up early to do Turbo Jam. I need to get my energy back. I am happy about today's loss and I hope to have a good one next week too.
I can't believe the weekend is over already. I was really looking forward to it and now it is gone. Maybe next weekend won't go so fast. I don't want to be here at work today, I would like to go home and go back to bed. My whole family is off today so they are all sleeping in. I am jealous. Oh well.
So this week hasn't been too great exercise wise. I got up yesterday and did a 20 min DVD and that is all the exercise I have done this week. I have been having such a hard time getting up early this week. I guess I just need some extra rest. I am doing ok eating wise, I have used some of my WPAs but I have several left. We are going to a restaurant tomorrow night, On The Border, and the only thing I am worried about is all the sodium in the meal. We will see how Monday turns out!
This week has dragged on and on! I am so happy today is Friday and I am ready for the next two days off! My family is all off on Monday except me, I wish I would have figured that out before today so I could have had that day off too. Oh well I am just happy it is the weekend. When I have time I have a nasty before picture of me that my mom finally sent to me and a recent full picture of me, I will post those so you can see the wonderful difference 58lbs has made leaving my body forever.
Not bad considering TOM decided to visit early. I am just glad it did not go up more than that. I look forward to next week's weigh in. I had a good week and I exercised 5 out of 7 days and some of those days I did TJ and walking.
I need to lose 4.4 more lbs in the next 34 days to meet my 3rd 10% goal. I wanted to be there by Dec 10 and it looks like I just might make it. I am so excited! That is only about a pound a week. I will do my best! Don't have much else to say. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
So yesterday I didn't end up getting home until around 6:30, then I put the kids in the car and went to the store for dinner and was not able to exercise at all. I ended up having to have one of my tires replaced so I did that at lunch. Discount Tire is having a special if you buy 4 tires they will take $100.00 off the price so my husband said to go back and have the other three replaced, so I did that after work. Now I have tires that I am not nervous driving on. My other ones were pretty bad!
I got up early and did Turbo Jam this morning and I did walk on lunch today. I went with a friend/coworker and she took me up some hills, whew! I was so winded! I am not used to those hills but it was a good workout. They are small hills(which we call "Thighmaster Hill" ) but enough to get your heart going, we are going to work up to the "big" (which we call "Buttbreaker Hill") hill by February. That will be a fun goal to get to. The weather is beautiful today, it was about 80 degrees when we went out.
Can't wait to take the kids trick or treating tomorrow, I want to get all that walking in! We will be walking for 2 whole hours! Wonder how many steps I will rack up doing that? My step team for the Walk to Wellness at work is not doing very well recording their steps. So I am sure we will not be at the head of the game but it is not about the prizes, it is about getting healthy! It is frustrating though that so many people said they wanted to do it and now, only 2 weeks later, are not doing anything. Even the woman I was going to help get more exercise in "conveniently" ended up having plans everyday at lunch during the two weeks we had the same lunch time! Oh well, my friend and I are still tracking our steps and doing very well. We decided that next year if my company does this again that just the two of us will be on a team and that will make up our whole team.
After my walk at lunch, I sat down in the break room and thought, I wish I had my 20 min Turbo Jam DVD here so I could do it! That walk gave me an extra boost of energy! Too bad it will be all gone by the time I get home. That is ok though, at least I got two sessions in of exercise.
Woo Hoo! I am so excited! I was starting to get a bit frustrated for a while! What a pretty number I saw this morning on my scale. I really needed to see a nice drop. I wish every week could be like this but as long as the numbers keep going down I am a happy camper!
I had a good weekend. I worked for several hours to get my kitchen, dining room and living room clean. I made the kids work on their rooms. My daughter asked why we had to stay home and clean and not go anywhere. I said because it is nice to get everything clean sometimes. I guess she didn't approve of the cleaning. Humph! Oh well, it feels good to be in a clean house. We went to the hockey game Sat night, our team lost but it was fun. Sunday we didn't really do anything, just stayed at home and veg'd out. I do feel pretty wiped out this morning for some reason though. I feel like I just got over being sick but I wasn't sick. I hope I am not getting anything. I didn't even get up to exercise this morning, my legs are so sore from walking up and down the stairs in the hockey arena. I will walk at lunch and possibly do Turbo Jam after work, depends on what time I get home.
Hope you had a great weekend and have a wonderful week!
Hope everyone has been having a great week! Mine has been pretty good, it is going by so fast for some reason. Nothing exciting to report. My kids got their report cards last week and are getting all A's and B's, did I tell you that already? We are going to a hockey game this weekend. My husband is a bank manager and is getting a brand new branch that is being built right now and it happens to be 3miles up from my office. Now we will be able to carpool sometimes, that will be nice.
I didn't do any kind of exercise yesterday but I walked on Monday, walked on Tuesday and did Turbo Jam, and this morning I got up early and did Turbo Jam and I plan on walking on my lunch which is only 40 minutes away. I think I am doing well this week and as usual I look forward to my weigh in on Monday. I hope it is less than 169 this week. I don't like being this close to 170!
I am looking forward to the weekend. I like my 2 days off. Last night I took my son to the store and we got a few things. We bought some popsicles, Dreyers frozen fruit bars (sooo good and only one point!) and DS wanted to try some of those Mighty Moos (I think that is what they are called) so we got those also. After dinner everyone had a popsicle, DS loved his so much he told me that I should try it and then he says they are fat free! He then goes to the fridge and looks at the box and says oh they are low fat, you can have one if you want. It was so sweet because he really pays attention to what I am eating and that I am watching what I eat. He is the sweetest boy and really cares about what I am doing to get healthier. He always helps me out!
I was hoping for a bigger loss this week but I guess my body is adjusting to the extra exercise and different exercise. Maybe next week will be a big loss. At least I lost a little and didn't go the other way. I don't ever want to see 170 again!
I went a bought that size 14 pair of jeans. I decided to try them on and see how close I am to fitting into them. I can zip and button them and stand comfortably in them (with a muffin top!) but I wouldn't be able to sit or bend over. I am getting closer! I can't wait until I can fit into them comfortably, it won't be too much longer.
My weekend was ok, didn't do a whole lot of anything. I didn't exercise on Sat at all but I did go a for a nice walk on Sunday. I had a good week last week and I hope to have another good week this week. Can I say week any more times? Sorry! Anyway, enjoy your day everyone!
I wasn't expecting it to be down at all. I wasn't expecting it to be up either. I didn't hardly exercise this week but I did watch my points. I need to get back into the swing of things. I am so tired lately and I think it is because of my lack of exercise. Today the weather is beautiful so I will be walking on my lunch. Tomorrow I will definitely be getting up early to do Turbo Jam. I need to get my energy back. I am happy about today's loss and I hope to have a good one next week too. 
. Maybe next weekend won't go so fast. I don't want to be here at work today, I would like to go home and go back to bed. My whole family is off today so they are all sleeping in. I am jealous. Oh well.
