Before After

the weekend, YMCA, food, excercise yada yada yada

Good morning ladies!
I never checked up on all of you yesterday and I GREATLY apologize for it.  Work was pretty busy yesterday and when I got home last night I started working on my project for school (that's due today) and I totally got wrapped up in it.  I promise to come check on you all today, leave you some motivation and some good comments.

I weighed myself this morning.  I'm still teeder toddleing at 157.5ish, I'm not going to offically weigh and measure myself till the beginning of the month.  I think alot of times with weight loss we focus on the actual number and not how we feel and how many inches we have lost.  I'm not going to step on that scale till Novemeber 1st.  My goal for October is to be at least down to 155, mean while gaining muscle and losing inches. 

Last night we hit the grocery store to pick up a few things.  Not only did I get everything that was on sale (chaaaaa ching!)  I also got mostly all healthy stuff.  Ham, Cheese, broccalli, 15 grain multigrain bread, progresso soups (on sale at stop and shop 6 for 5 bucks!) and dannon light and fit yogurt (3 for $1.).  Granted the bill came up to about 40 bucks.  but I stocked up on soups and yogurt!  I actually think I'm going to go back this weekend and get more progresso soups.  Those here are typically 2 bucks a can.  And I got them last night for like 1.20 a can!

The BF and I were talking last night and we are going on Tuesday to sign up at the YMCA!  Soo after work every day I think we will stop there and work out.  Our YMCA is really cool.  They have a whole rock climbing room, a basketball court, racketball court, fitness center with up to date cardio equipment and weight machines, an indoor heated pool, and even a golf swing analyzer thing. The Ymca is only about a 2 min drive from my house and open from 5am till 10pm.  Soo now instead of being board we can go there and climb the rock wall, or swim some laps etc etc.

This weekend I'm not so busy like typical weekends.  I'm not "working" anywheres but home.  I have to finish up some website work.  That will be mostly Saturday.  I have to finish my project for school tonight.  I want to clean the house.  I've bought these wood plaques that I spray painted black last weekend.  The BF and I have a bunch of trophys from when we played sports when we were younger.  I'm going to pop out all the metal engraved things on them and glue them to the wood plaques, then hang them on the wall.  Throw out all the cheap useless trophys.  I want to finish painting the dresser black, I also want to finish my cool artsey painting that I'm doing... phew.. looking at that list I guess I am busy this weekend..

This morning I did not do my Ab work out.. I will later tonight.  It will give me a nice energizing break when trying to work on school work.  Today on lunch I will take my 45 min walk again.  Funny story... Yesterday my brother called me (He's 7) and for homework he had to ask his family how many miles they thought they walked in a day...  I said we'll on lunch I walk about a mile and a half, then I walk a half mile to and from work everyday.. then probably another half mile for the rest of the day.. so about 3 miles.  He was wow'ed.  He told me I walk the most out of the whole family.. lol

Ok I made this long enough! The guy who sits behind me said.. "what are you doing?  Writing a book?" lol
For fooding today I have:
coffee
yogurt
Italian wedding soup
grapes
for dinner I might have the fish lol ( i know Ive been saving that for a few days now)

Holy Moly!!!

You sure are a very busy girl!!!! 

Your going to love the YMCA!!!!  To me any Gym is like a Big Play Ground for Adults!!!!  Can't wait to hear all that you are going to be doing!!!

Sounds like a nice weekend staying home for a change and getting those fun things done.  I watch the Home and Garden channal every night and Black is the in color now.  People are even painting woodwork black now a days!!  Your dresser is going to look like brand new!!!  Plus very cool!!!

Good Luck on getting everything done, and don't forget to also rest a little. 

See ya soon.

rock climbing

The rock climbing sounds like so much fun. I see them up there for the kids at the mall and of course on TV but I wonder if they have enough rope for my big ass. heh heh

I think when you make exercise interesting it doesn't feel like exercise.

 

busy weekend

at least it is fun chores and nothing like going to the dry cleaners or anything.
have a good weekend!
