Headache yesterday, headache today, BUT I still did my workout. Drank all 10 waters yesterday and did well ... even with headache. Today I have 6 waters down, 4 to go. Trying to eat well and not like half-starved immigrant (whatever that means).
Well, once upon a time I became a muscular skinny minny by listening to Bob Greene, so I started his BTB plan today. It's actually very common sensish, so not too bad. Exercise is DONE - over 30 minutes of cardio (WATP Walk & Tone). 6 waters DONE, 4 to go. No SODA! This is my challenge for the first two weeks. I also am curtailing any nighttime eating, as always. Phew, that was a mouthful.
Breaking it down when I update today:
Food eaten:
B'fast @ 7:30 am - Bagel w/ light cream cheese, 8 oz. OJ
Lunch @ Noon - Tuna w/ celery & onion on 100% whole wheat bread, dozen baby carrots
Snack - Brewed pot of mixed tea (green, white, pekoe, & dried pomegranate) & had 2 cups thus far with dash of half 'n half and some honey
Water - 8 servings so far
Exercise - over 30 minutes WATP Walk & Tone
Thanks for your answers, everyone. I just wondered if the site did the blog thing automatically because if it does, it is effed up. I've seen a few serious bloggers never on the list, but I'm not here all day so maybe it changes?
Anywho, I've been a cleaning machine. I still have a lot to do, but at least the winter deep clean is getting done. Phew!
Hey, I'm going to start this with a question for everyone: Who the heck here owns this site? Is it one of the regular bloggers or posters? I'm curious to know. Also, the top blog thing is way off. When I go to find most active bloggers, I may only find one comment on their post. How is this most active? Is the most active blog decided by the owner or is it computerized? I don't give a hoot who is most popular, but it just doesn't make any sense from time-to-time. I see blogs without lots of comments not even on the active list.
I'm so confused. 
OK, this week is a week for winter cleaning. I am going to write my goals on this post for the entire week (I'll be back tomorrow to visit and read).
Monday:
- Deep clean bathroom
- Weights for chest, bis, and tris
- 10 waters
- Shopping @ Wal-Mart/return to grocery store
- No eating after dinner
Tuesday:
- Deep clean master bedroom
- Weights for chest and shoulders
- 10 waters
- No eating after dinner
Wednesday:
- Deep clean dining room & TV room
- Weights for legs
- 10 waters
- All the prep for my New Year's Eve blast
- Get drunk & eat until I puke (haha)
Thursday:
- Recover
- 10 waters
- No eating after dinner
Friday:
- Deep clean kitchen
- 10 waters
- No eating after dinner
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Well, the holidays "feel" over, but they're not officially over until the kids get back to school. I don't intend to wait that long to get my arse in motion again. I'll be back this weekend to write done a solid proposal to the upcoming week including health-based goals and home-based ones as well.
I need to do my new year supercleaning!
Wow, recommitting during the holidays is 3 parts stupidity, 1 part retardation. There's no way I can definitely do anything well. I'm not even hydrated. Maybe I'll turn into ash and blow away? Wishful thinking, I guess.
If I don't make it back here before Christmas, happy holidays, One and All!
New York has been the victim of three snowstorm attacks, one after the other. Oh, and throw in an ice storm for good measure. Right now we're in the process of getting another 8". I remember when getting a solid 8" meant something entirely different, but I digress...
I celebrated my 20th year wedding anniversary on Friday. I'm only 38 so as a very young bride, fresh out of high school, a LOT of people said we'd never make it past a year. Now 20 years later, I'm not even sure how we did it. Two children, moving across country and everywhere in between a couple times, pets, ups, downs, weight gain, weight loss, weight gain again, career changes ... and here we are ... almost completely nuts. Nah, we've taken the good with the bad and are still young enough to marvel at it all.
I've fallen off the wagon so bad I feel like a sad episode of "Little House on the Prairie." Like when Pa loses a wheel and it takes the whole show to replace it and during that time, what can go wrong does go wrong, of course. Even a fire. I think that's when Mary was struck blind, but AGAIN, I digress ...
The holidays, December in general, it's like losing a wagon wheel for me ... one at a time. I need to just get my fat ass out and walk instead of sitting there in the driver's seat clutching the reins saying, "Move, damn it, move!" The toughest part about losing weight is realizing and accepting the great deal of work and responsibility needed to change it. Every moment of every day.
Tomorrow's Goals:
30-minutes WATP + weight training for chest, bis, and tris:
10 waters:
No eating at night:
Hey, gals. Thanks for writing when I was feeling a bit ostracized (in my head). The truth is I don't have time (and admittedly the patience) to be online all day blogging. I see some of you commenting all day and I'm like, "Wow, where do they get the time?" LOL
I give myself about a half hour of online time daily and that's that. I have to visit and read within that time. I LOVE visiting and reading, but it can't be a full-time job. I just was so weirded out having no one visit for a couple days and whatever, it was silly.
My paranoia is over and I'm getting back to what I came here for in the first place -- health and fitness, NOT some whacked popularity that means nothing. So, if you care to visit, I'll visit you back and if not, that's totally cool too.
I'll still ask the questions. Today's is: Do you think losing weight is entirely physical or entirely mental?
Today's Stats:
Water: 6 out of 10 so far
Workout: 33 minutes (WATP Walk & Tone 2-miler) & Weights for Chest, Bis and Tris - Total 44 minutes
No one even visited me yesterday on this site. If I was a more paranoid person, I'd be worried I did something wrong and everyone all at once just decided never to visit again, but instead I'll just keep to myself for a bit instead of visiting others ... just in case. Definitely NOT out of paranoia. OK, not much paranoia, but perhaps a little.
Yesterday water: 6 out of 10 ... not good
Today: So far 4 out of 10 ... again, not good, but drinking now
Wow, it's been quiet around these parts so I'll hold off on the question. I have the kids home today and my day is messed up because of it. Will be back with full report tomorrow for the entire weekend as those too are real busy for me.
