Well...in the past 3 weeks, I've managed to gain another 3 lbs, so my starting weight is even higher! 3 weeks of strawberry shortcake etc has taken its toll! Oh well....nothing to do but get started with this healthy eating and exercising. I'm going to ease back into the gym thing today. The girl at the counter at the gym may pass out when she sees me! Its been at least a month and a half since I've been there! I'm not going to go crazy with my "diet". I'm simply not willing to give up some of my fav foods. My goal is to eat in moderation and of course, avoid the candy and stuff like that(the obvious bad stuff). I will, however, continue to have a cold beer(lite) when I've had a bad day at work. And....I absolutely love our supermarkets fresh salsa with some baked scoop chips....OMG! That's a good snack though.....no worries there. I'm simply going to start moving this arse more and hopefully some pounds will drop along the way. Thanks to all of my "buddies" here who have never given up on me. You are all doing so well and I'm just hanging around! Hope everyone has a great Monday!
...me! Back to the gym I go on Monday! Enough of this doing nothing stuff.....I know I'll feel better and look better too if I just get moving! I'll go at lunch time as that works best for me. I'm also back to logging my food come Monday morning and......gulp......I have to face the scale. I'll be honest.....I afraid of what number I'll see! Sigh......oh well. Its not going away by itself is it? Hope you all have a great weekend. We have another busy one with the grandson. Our town has a big parade tomorrow so that will keep him busy for awhile. He's really a good kid. He seems older than 5!! These kids grow up so fast. Okay friends.......have a good one and I'll be checking on you all throughout the weekend!
My gosh.....I haven't posted in a long time! I really don't have much to report on the diet and exercise front as I haven't gotten started with either one! My 5 year old grandson is in town this week, going between us and his other Grandma's while his Mom and Dad are in Puerto Rico for the week. He's keeping hubby busy during the day for sure! We've been having a T-storm every night for 3 nights in a row now. The one Saturday night took out our phone, TV, & Internet. So far the only thing I have back is the phone! I was on hold waiting for Tech support last night for 40 minutes before I got to talk to anyone. His suggestions did not work so they're thinking that some of our network wiring must have fried in the storm. The first time hubby can be there to meet them for repair is Thursday so I'm TV & Internet-less till then! Sigh........what a hassle....this week has just been round and round with the phone company. I've been trying to keep up with all of you. You're all doing SO great! One day I hope to join the ranks of the successful!
Will this week never end? I hate to wish my life away, but come on weekend! My sister is feeling better, so she'll be coming this weekend since she couldn't come last week. We're having a little family cookout on Saturday so I'm trying to come up with a list of stuff I need for that. Played 9 holes of golf last night and actually played decently! There were a couple holes I'd rather forget, but all in all...I played darn good for me! I just found out that our company is going to reimburse us up to $200 a year for gym memberships. That won't cover all my costs, but every little bit helps, right? Plus....I have to prove that I've gone at least 10 times a month in order to get the $$. So....there's a bit more incentive! Not sure how the gym will prove that I've been there. We have membership cards that we have to run under a scanner when we go, so maybe they can give me a printout or something? Not sure......anyway....I'll figure something out! $200 is $200...!! Hope the week is going well for all of you!
Sigh....I promised myself that this would be the week when I got back to the gym. Its been well over a month. I'm not sure if I can comfortably get my sneaker on over my broken big toe, but I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. Today is a luncheon for a retiring co-worker(catered by a fabulous Italian restaurant) OY! My sister is visiting from FL and wants to go to lunch today too. So...I'm going out with her at 11 and I'll just have a small salad, then back to work to feast on Italian food! As I said before..OY! I keep thinking that I will get my head wrapped around this eating and exercising one of these days, but my head is being very stubborn!
It seems like everytime I turn around, there is another thing waiting to sabotage my weight loss efforts! Did I have to eat 2 pieces of shortcake yesterday and one this morning for breakfast? No.....but did I? Sure did! Thank goodness the season for strawberries is relatively short! It is so yummy! Spent the weekend watching the US Open golf tournament only to have it end in a tie! I'm taking 1/2 day off today so I can watch the tie breaking match! I may be a tad obsessed! Hubby called me once I got to work to find out if I was able to get this afternoon off. We really enjoy watching golf together. We like to play golf together too, but don't get out as often as we'd like to. So....this afternoon will be spent sitting on my butt in front of the TV watching Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate battle it out. Should be a great match!
I fell face first into a bag of Cheetos at lunch time......need I say more? I have felt like crap ever since. We're going out for dinner but to tell you the truth, I'd just as soon stay home and go to bed. Its been a long week. I'll just have an appetizer and a lite beer......maybe a good beer burp will make me feel better! My sister is sick so she won't be coming this weekend. Hubby and his brother will be off playing golf tomorrow and I'll be on my own. Not to worry...puttering around the house is one of my favorite things to do. Hope you all have a great weekend!
I'm finally caught up enough at work so that I can take a few minutes to catch up with my buddies here and post in my blog! Woohoo!! I haven't gotten back onto an eating plan yet. Its been so hot that I haven't been eating that much, so its all good. Played golf last night in my league...first time in a month! I had some good shots and some real stinkers! At least the humidity had broken and it was a pleasant evening. I was SO glad to be able to sleep with the windows open and just a fan instead of the A/C. Nothing like fresh air! I'm planning to get back to the gym on Monday. I have to go for some bloodwork today at lunch time and then Friday I'll run home and do a bit of housework on my lunch hour. My sister is coming and Jack's brother is coming for the weekend. Sounds like a family reunion, doesn't it? LOL! Jack and his brother are playing in a golf tournament Saturday and my sister and I are just going to hang out and do a little shopping etc. So.....I need to change some beds and do some dusting etc to get ready for them. Luckily we have 2 spare rooms so we can accommodate both of them. Jack said we'll have to put the "NO VACANCY" sign out! LOL! Okay...better get a little work done! Talk to you all soon!
