I have been super busy and expect to be that way for the next few weeks until school is out. I hope all is well with everyone. I thought of another reason to lose weight. So my shirt doesn't get caught on my butt. It will be nice not to have to pull down my shirt everytime I stand.
Onderland is in sight. Only a little over 3 lbs to go. My goal is to do this by June 1 by losing 2 lbs per week. Keep your fingers crossed and say some prayers. When I get tired, I'm not as good.
Speaking of prayers. I have a friend at my daughters dance studio whose uncle is having some medical tests done tommorow to see if he has brain cancer. This man is her only older living relative left and is like a 2nd father to her children. He is also loved by the girls at the studio. So if you pray, pray that he is cancer free.
My husband and I are off to the winery. I am going to enjoy myself since we don't get to do this very often and will cut calories elsewhere. Have a great day evryone.
When I first started trying to lose weight, I was not sure of my motivation. I walked at lunch, but ate what I wanted. I would tell myself, small changes. Then Christmas came and my perfect sister had become even more perfect by losing weight. Well that made me jealous. (All the attention, she looked so good yada, yada). Now I know I'm a grown women, but we've always been competitive. Anyway, that was the catalyst that got me started. So now I am making a list of the real reasons to lose weight.
1) To be sexy for my husband
2) To gain positive attention
3) To be able to cross my legs
4) To not shop with sign over my head that says Plus
5) To like what I see in the mirror
6) To like what I see in pictures (Those are the worst)
Benefits from excercising that I have noticed.
1) More energy
2) Better able to concetrate (On most days)
3) Able to keep up with my younger co workers.
Well I was just interrupted so I have to go. I'll check back tomorrow.
I am ready for school to be over so I can be down to one job. I have so much on my mind that I forgot my yougurt for my morning snack . Luckily I had an apple in my fridge at work so at least I could keep my metabolism going. But now I am sooooo hungry, my tummy is growling and I don't eat for another couple of hours. Now that I vented, I feel better ( or at least that is what I am telling myself).
I hope all of you mothers had a great Mothers Day. Mine was OK. I had to work so I did not get to spend a lot of family time. When I got home though, my kids had all made me something. (The boys wrote me a note and got me a card). My daughter made a scrapbook and wrote a nice note at the end. Those things from my kids were better than any other gift I could have recieved.
I have been doing pretty well sticking to the plan. Yesterday, my husband made breakfast for Mothers Day. I had him poach the eggs instead of fry them and he got turkey bacon, but I still ended up having about 400 calories. At work, I did have a couple brownies and a cupcake , but I resisted everything form the day before. I work with performers at a theme park and they are always eating. What is it about teachers and performers? I walked into one of the break rooms on Saturday and they had doughnuts (which was easy to resist) and cupcakes. But they also had Starbucks coffee, so I settled for that and felt like I had a treat.
I love reading about all of you. You are doing so well. That fact that you blog even when you are having a tough time of it shows that you are committed. The support I get from you all is so meaningful. It is so cool having people from all over checking on you. WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Does anyone know a good sports bra for D cups? I've added a little jogging (it's on my DVD) and need a little more control. BTW - Excercised 2 days in a row and passed up my favorite cake in the workroom.
So I went to JC last night and I had gained .5 of a lb. I'm kind of glad because 1) I could have gained a lot more and 2) I needed a little kick in the butt. I went in pumped, and am more pumped than ever. My goal is 2 lbs for this week. I have a meeting to go to now, but I will try to blog later or at least check to see how everyone else is doing. Have a great day, The weekend is near.
Thanks again to the people who have commented. It is what I needed to get back at it and I'm actually really pumped again. I can do this. I can stick to the JC plan. I can excercise. I can get in my water.
Today, I have followed th plan and "walked 2 miles". I have that in quotes because I actually use the Leslie Sansone 5 mile walk DVD. I only do 2 of the miles right now because 1) it takes almost the full 30 minutes 2) I want to be able to add more excercise when I hit a plateau. Has anyone ever tried one her DVD's? They are great. You can use weights (or not) flexbands (or not), it is totally flexible. I love it.
I need to cut this short. (Although I never have a lot that I put in my blog yet). I just had a student come in. Keep on working everyone. I'm watching (on the blog) and cheering you on.
Thank you Hot Mom Wanna Be and Shelley for you comments. (I hope you got my reply). Just having someone comment gave me a lot of encouragement. It was helpful to get me in the right mind set and will be sharing my success next week. (I say next week because I am going to start back on the plan 100% tomorrow when I go to JC). Good luck to you all.
Teachers love to eat. It is a proven fact at my school anyway. If you put something on the common table, it will be gone in a short while. On that note, it is Teacher Appreciation week and everday day so far has involved food. Yesterday candy in my mailbox (I gave it to my daughter). Today, cake for all (I'm writing this instead of going to the teachers workroom). Tomorrow PTO is providing breakfast. (I need to attend so they don't think I don't appreciate all they do). I finally got my motivation back. I hope I can remain strong. Any encouragement would be appreciated.
