Today my water guy came to delivery my water [8-5gal bottles] - he comments everytime how if I don't stop drinking so much I'm going to float away! :-)
I exercised today: I did Gilad's Step and Tone Workout [70 minutes].
Yesterday I ate over my points by 2 - one WW chocolate cake and one WW carrot cake - I just couldn't stop myself they where calling my name! [LOL]
I called a few personal trainers today. I set this as a reward for reaching 174 pounds [I only have 1.2 pounds to go] and I wanted to get an idea of the costs. I don't plan to have a trainer on a regular basis I just need to get some answers to some questions I currently have. Things like the best tricep toners, lower ab toners, inner thigh toners - just stuff like that. Still have one more to call tomorrow and because I am doing this personal trainer thing with my sister I will have to talk to her before we make our decision - of course I shall keep you all informed :-)
My boyfriend has returned to work this morning - I hate it when he leaves! I just miss him so much while he's gone! :-(
The past few days I managed to exercise and stay within my point range. I earned 30 activity points this week and although most week's I don't use my flexy points - I did this week. Sunday night we went out for pizza! I was thrilled with my Sunday weigh in - I lost another 3.6 pounds! YEAH!!!
Today I have already eaten three servings of veggies and two servings of dairy. I exercised [Richard Simmon's Step tape - 35 minutes and an 8 minute Ab workout]. I have started - today in fact - drinking Apple Cider Vinegar three times a day. I'm doing it because they say that drinking it will brighten your complexion and add shine to your hair. And of course it is also said to assist with weight loss. I'm not drinking this awful mixture for weight loss just for the other benefits it claims it can bring. I shall keep you in formed as to how it is going!
Okay first of all sorry I didn't get back on last night to tell about emailing my old friend - if I have time I will do so today :-)
I did go shopping yesterday and picked up the few things I needed including groceries! By the end of the night I had three points remaining after eating three servings of veggies, three servings of dairy and two WW chocolate cakes - YES! This is a lifestyle I can live with! :-)
Today I earned 5 activity points:
Denise Austin's Get Fit Fast Abs for 10 minutes, Upper Body for 10 minutes, and Lower Body for 10 minutes
Richard Simmon's Step and Sweat for 35 minutes - I even put the risers in my step!
Now on to why I am so excited -
first of all my boyfriend comes home today! He is an over the road truck driver so he is gone for two weeks at a time and this is his weekend home! So this should explain why I won't be posting to my blog for the next few days :-)
Second reason I'm so excited is it SNOWED! I love snow [just not the bad roads that go along with it] The sun is shining on the snow and it sparkles - makes me all sparkly inside :-)
And thirdly I'm excited at my old friend. I have known him for seven years or so. He is a great friend that I had lost touch with over some stupid disagreement we had. I don't get to see him as he lives 1000 miles away from me. We had talked on the phone and via email until our disagreement about a year ago. Well I emailed him and he responded that he had just been thinking about me as well :-) I emailed back my phone number in hopes that we can talk again. [We are only friends - he is married and I love my boyfriend!]
I sometimes think when you change one aspect of your life a million other aspects change as well - some for the good and other things not so good - but its a change never the less. As I change my life I find myself growing closer to some people as I withdraw from others. I am referring to my girlfriend, Lori. I can't handle her negative attitude anymore!
I guess in a way she was the one that inspired me to change my life. Not by her words but by her actions. I didn't want to be anything like her and I saw myself heading down her path! She is the type of person that takes no responsibility for her actions. She thinks everyone is out to make her life terrible. She refuses to change the things she doesn't like about her life and herself. She says she wants to get out of the mud hole she has been wallowing in yet she refuses to do anything different! I started to see myself going down that path and that was the day I woke up! I still talk with her [about once a week instead of the daily calls we did have] but ever time it gets harder and harder for me to be nice to her. I guess this is the reason I feel its getting closer and closer to the time to end our friendship. Yet its still hard and it hurts! :-(
Well enough of my musings for the day - Ya'll have a good weekend! I shall be back Tuesday :-)
I did okay yesterday on my points [just went over by 2] but I didn't eat all my veggies :-( I'm hoping today will be a better day!
I'm trying to decide if I should go shopping - I have something I need to pick up out of town [about 35 miles away] and I really need some groceries! Ummm - what to do?!?!
I emailed an old friend last night .... but that's a whole new story I will get into later tonight :-)
40 minutes Denise Austin's Shrink the Female Fat Zones
30 minutes of David Snively's Custom Fit DVD [I did 10 minutes on the mini trampoline and 20 minutes of step interval training]
I feel great although I am still having some issues with my lower ab area - I HATE IT! I do ab exercises everyday [or at least I try to] and I still don't loss that fat overhang that happens below the belly button! It makes me what to give up some day!
Yesterday I stayed well within my point range. In fact I had 4 points left over at bedtime! Now that's a good day!
I just signed up for this blog in the hopes that it will assist me in staying focused on my weight loss and fitness goals. I want this blog to be a place of accountablity for the foods I eat and the exercises I don't do! Please feel free to post here - this is my journey and journal of everything it takes to reach health and happiness!
I have been doing Weight Watchers Flex Points since June 5, 2006. When I started I weighed 238 pounds. At my last weigh in I weighed in at 178.8 pounds! I have lost a total of 33.75 inches off my whole body - that's like anothe person! I don't attend meetings nor do I do the program online. What I did was attend a single meeting [got the info about how to do the program] and have been doing alone since.
I play a cool game, called Lost Kingdom, on the yahoo boards. This game allows you to earn bits of gold for doing challenges with the hopes that your castle [I'm a member of the Red Castle] will win. Everyone there is very supportive and offers help when I need a little boost - they are just great!
Well I guess that's enough for tonight - glad you could stop by!
