Hello tomorrow is the day

Well tomorrow is my birthday...how do I feel about that. Ok I guess. It would be another day if it wasn't a holiday. I will be a full 39.....how does that make you feel... I don't know....I'm kinda waiting for 40 so I can have a big party.   It's Monday, I'm at work and barely anyone else. I had a good weekend because I walked 6 miles. I have to get back to 3 miles a day. I will go to the rec center and get on the treadmill and see if it will work now. When I took a weight training class, I fo

Friday

That is what today is. I don't want to be here at work but it's going to be ok. I need to reschedule my fill appt because restriction has left the building.:faint: ha ha ha ha I am just tickling myself today.

Hello

Somebody is going to think I am crazy but I went to Bed Bath and Beyond for the first time yesterday. I wish I could have seen the look at my face when I walked in. I was shocked that it was a real store and I just kept looking up. I thought is was going to be like Ross or you know not a very organized store. Now that I think about it, I have been in the one in Waldorf. This one was just in a smaller space so everything went up. You should have seen me looking up at the stuff on all the shelves

No Today is the New Day

I am feeling better today. I spoke to my girlfriend's, who passed suddenly, mom yesterday for the first time sense the funeral. I am so glad I did.   I cooked yesterday and that was nice also, cabbage and wingettes. Ummmm ummmmm   Did I exercise yesterday.....no......just danced a little. Will I exercise today, YES!!!       Later....... I'm having a good day now. God is good all the time.

New Day

OK Tuesday Weigh in day is always a new day. OK so I didn't gain, Thank God.....but needless to say this is not where I wanted to be today....393. I'm dragging, I don't feel like it....   I will do what I can....   PMS - I really can't deal with other peoples crap right now.:phanvan I can't stand people who break promises....ALL THE DAM TIME!! I need to go to the pool before I come on.   Oh bright note, today is Lamonds birthday.:Banane20: Part of what's bothering me is that I did my bi

Hello

There are things I want to say but this is public. It is a new day and I am blessed.   I thank god for another day He woke me up this morning I had a safe drive into work this morning I have a roof over my head I have lost weight I will be productive today!!!   I did not go to TTC because of the weather and flood warnings. TOPS may be cancelled tonight and I am trying to wrap my brain around that. That means I will have to go 2 weeks before weigh in.   I WILL look for a scale this wee

Monday

Weekend turned out well even with rain. Got a 2 mile walk in w/Pooky Sat. with incline. I don't want to do 3 miles anymore unless it's at HP. I won't force that extra mile. My excuse is that oh I'm going to the pool anyhow.   OK off that. I put on my 32 goal jeans and I think I can acutally wear them now without them cutting in to my gut. YEAHHHHHHHH. I was actually able to get the muffin top into the top of the jeans. It sits above the pants just a little and not hang over like it use to. I a

Friday

I'm happy to say I did a 2 mile walk yesterday morning. Around 2:30 I went to the community pool for about 1 1/2 hours. I had a ball even though my daughter just stood in the pool. She had fun also. I kept my feet off the floor majority of the time just working my arms and legs the whole time.   I will be walking Saturday and Sunday!!!!

Whatever

Ok this is Bull....yeah I weighed in......with a 5 pound gain. Life goes on, I wanted to cry but not as bad as once I weighed in and was in total shock that I had gained. Anyhow, I almost left before my friends got there but once they were there I stayed. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Today is a new day. I have goals and I will do what I have to do.   I stopped walking during the weekdays and did not really replace it with anything. After work yesterday I went home and did the Walk Away

June 20

I feel good about going to TTC last night. I feel like I got in a good exercise. With all that sweating, it better have been a good exercise.   I am excited and nervous about weigh in tonight. I need this weigh in so bad to get that motivation. I have a burger for breakfast, soup for the rest of the work day and my daughter made me a pbj so I may share that with my co worker. We're crazy.   I don't know why I wait until the morning to really think about what I am going to wear especia

Good Morning

Well today is one day away from having to weigh in after 2 whole weeks. It has been driving me ......to eat...not crazy. Yeah I will blame any weight gain on them.   I am exciting and scared to weigh in. I am glad I walked this weekend. 3 miles at Haines Point with Kee was not easy. Thank God for sending one of his angels, a fiesty, older lady who could out walk us decided not to walk with her 2 daughters but with us. She talked and she walked and talked and walked. Finally she decided to leav

Feeling the Pressure

Let's see how many days to go...4 days till next weigh in which I am nervous about. 18 days till birtdhay and 22 days till bandiversary. Not a lot of days but I will do what a girl has to do.   I have to get on the ball. My eating is not what it should be. I'm not going to beat myself up over it because I have less restriction, I have been eating things I normally would not but the novelty is wearing off. I am slowly getting back to slimfast, frozen diet meals and meal planning. I'm also getti

I Love God

I did a little floor exercise last night and this morning with a bit of cardio. Ran in place for 2 minutes this morning.   Be Right Back   Uhhhhh what was I going to say......well I'm back today NEXTTTTT

NSV for me

I got my pressure checked yesterday and it was fine. I have saying for months that I was going to get it checked. I will not wait and put it off like that again.   I am not making the best food choices right now but I am conscious of what I am eating.   I did not workout yesterday so I built up a sweat sorting throught clothes. I was able to actually thrown some clothes out, box some up for someone else and hang up so old thing that now fit again. I have on a top today that was once too tigh

Weigh In

I just found out that my doctors office scale goes up to 400 pounds......am I happy or am I sad......I don't know but since there is no TOPS meeting I think I will be making a little run to Waldorf to get on the scale and get my pressure checked. YEAHHHHH that is what I am going to do. This is one of those times I would could my girlfriend Linda, who passed, to ask her to ride with me and she would. Whenever I called her to say you wanna go.....she was ready. She was always on time and but of

Today

WOW today is one of those days...not in the negative but just one of those days....I guess I mean a good day. I feel like praising God. Thank you Lord....I guess it is kinda contagious. Like a smile is contagious, is someone smiles at you, you smile back most of the time. I just spoke to a friend who just kept giving God the Glory and saying he is here becuase God woke him up. I forget sometimes in a small way. I am so blessed, wow in so many ways. A freind called with some problems and I

Feelings/Emotions

It's not PMS but I just feel off. I want to cry periodically, I want a hug.....I know I am missing Linda. I feel like a failure.....(psychological examination) my father once told me I did nothing right.....that kinda stuff doesn't go away. It is a shame the stuff we hold on to and just creeps back into our minds. All the shit I forget and this is something that I remember.   Whatever   I ate to much last night....my band is officially missing but I will try to ignore that and continue for

8.5 miles for June

Saturday- It began raining when I left home, so I went to the track. There were people there so I said if they can do it so will I. I would stop if it rained harder but the rain and cool breeze felt so refreshing. I kept walking. I did 3.5 miles and wanted to do more. Some folks left the track but more came. I like that... I have not been walking due to the heat (excuse) but my body responded well to the rest. Later that day I walked again with Crystalstart 2 miles at Tucker Rd Path.  

Hot Weather and Walking

I have to get serious about doing my exercise at home. I can not walk out there in that heat. I WILL walk EARLY on Saturday and Sunday....7am should be good at HP and or Watkins. I love the morning anyhow.   I am wearing my pedometer and trying to put steps on it throughout the day. I made an attempt to get all my steps in yesterday but I only got about half....not good. I will do more today for sure. I have to run errands so I will do laps around Wal Mart. LOL
