Before After

Back to Counting Calories and a Pedicure

Let's see where do I start..hmmmm Ok to be honest I was doing great for 1 week cutting back but I learned I really need the accountability of counting calories. No excuses this time, I will just do it!!!! I will be starting Monday, I know but I am having TOM right now, cramps, migraines, etc.. and want to start off fresh and strong Monday when that is behind me.. :-) So to get ready I have been talking to a wonderful friend that has lost over 100 pounds using Sparkpeople and she suggested I start over from day one and do fast break 1. A wonderful idea!! So I am doing that. Also I have heard several of you like using Spark and Fitday PC so I got it and am excited about using it on Monday. My daughter is going away to college and my hubby is a truck driver so gone alot plus busy with his job, the yard, etc.. It is time for me to start taking care of me again. One because my health just keeps getting worse, walking has been the only thing to keep me from getting even worse than I am. And I want to be that pretty strong girl again, I want it, I need it, and I am going to do it this time!!!! So please come visit me from time to time and watch me get healthier and smaller.. :-)

My goals next week are:
Calories: 2000
1 Free day
Walking as many steps as I can!!
Treadmill 30 min 6 days per week
Leslie tape 3 days per week and every wed doing Walk Strong for my strenth exercises
Logging my steps, calories eaten and calories burned

I got my very first pedicure last night, my mom took me and it was wonderful!!!! Now to try and go every couple of months. I really need it, one something for me and two I honestly can't even reach my feet right now.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!!!

Awesome!

Glad to see you back - hard to believe a month had gone by!!

Good for you:  you do deserve to make you a priority with both your health and little rewards here and there.  I love love LOVE pedicures!!  I get one generally once a month right before I go see Jay because it makes me feel all pretty and special LOL!!

Have a great weekend - good luck with getting the program going again next week.

Pedicures

I just love pedicures.  SO worth it.  Glad you're back!

Yay!!!!!

Yay, your back!!!!!  So happy to see you posted.  I missed you.

Love pedicures, I use to do them when I was a Nail Tech.  Enjoy your Pretty Feet.

Spark & Fitday

I've never heard of Spark but I used to do Fitday online and loved it.  It's a really great way to keep yourself accurate.  Even though I do WW now I sometimes feel like it would be better to go back to Fitday (I've done that occasionally) just because you can be more exact with the foods you consume and the exercise you do.  I also used to give myself a free day and it worked wonders.  Good luck with it!
