Rain … what a surprise
29Jul2009 Filed under: Life Author: KellyFlash flood warnings this afternoon, between one and two and a half inches of rain expected. Guess the lawn isn’t getting cut today!
Food and exercise were good yesterday. I was doing a Firm at home so I pulled my longest one - 500 Calorie Workout - and nearly died. :lol: Seriously, I am convinced I do not work as hard at the gym. I don’t sweat nearly as much, and I am five pounds heavier since I joined. Coincidence? Anyway … I wanted to quit but I forged through the hour. Got all my housework done, played a game of PB & J with the kids, got my HOA work done. Into bed late at 11:30, and then didn’t sleep very well.
Today’s Food:
- Breakfast: English muffin w/PB & J, Coffee
- Snack: Apple
- Lunch: Ham on honey wheat sandwich
- Snack: 100 cal popcorn
- Dinner: Undecided
Exercise: Crunch Yoga/Pilates DVD, plus treadmill if no grass cutting
Other To Dos: Rehang curtain rods DS6 pulled down when he dove for a ball inside the house (this kid does nothing but throw balls around all day despite me constantly telling him to do it outside! lol)
Tomorrow is DS12’s 3rd (and hopefully last!) ortho evaluation. The first two gave totally different treatment plans (and wayyyyyy different prices) and his dentist isn’t sure on either of them and thinks I should get a third opinion, so that is what I am doing.
Work is SO nice and quiet. Boss is working from his vacation home for the rest of the week. 
Did anyone watch More to Love last night? It’s basically a plus-sized version of The Bachelor. My heart broke for some of these women … they were all so beautiful! But some had NEVER had a boyfriend or even been on one date? Blows my mind. A lot of them said some very thought provoking things (on the one on one camera) about their weight, some cried, some accepted it better than I even accept my own. One of my favorites was already sent home. She seems so wonderful, I wish her the best.
Okay, better get some work done. Halfway through the week! Hugs!

I saw the More to Love show too. Much more depth than Ken & Barbie shows. I’ll be tuning in for more!

I’ve put on weight since I joined the gym too. I have to face the fact that I need my cardio, and that I work harder in a class setting and not as hard “on my own” at the gym. Maybe I need to see a trainer once a week and then be aware of his/her presence the rest of the week like Linda!

Hello! I wish I was like you - had the energy to work out in the evening - odd huh? *smiling*
Okay then, so Centergy is a GOOD thing. I like yoga but I’ve never tried pilates and I heard that BOTH of them are GREAT at strengthening and tightening blubbery things along with balanced meals and cardio of course. ; ) I’ll let you know how I like the class!
I read a few of your entires and I’m hooked. I’ll definitely be following your progress. =) Thanks for the note!

I’m pretty suspicious when it comes to watching shows like that? Is it any good? Would you recommend it to someone or are you watching it just ’cause?
Looks like you’re doing great!

Okay Kelly, after reading your entry I decided to research the Firm. Which is the best and worst, in your opinion. I decided to order one to begin with, but I don’t know which one. When I ordered balance ball DVDs, I grew out of the beginner one fairly quickly. I use it after I slack off though–so it’ s not a waste that way. LOL…

I didn’t have any luck loosing anything when i was going to the gym despite the fact that I was going regularly. Of course, I didnt’ have a trainer either….but any of the success I have ever achieved, has been at home….HMMMMMM……and well, when I did Jazzercise. I was successful then too….but maybe because I was younger. Much younger.
I will have to check out that show. I have been watching dating in the dark lately, and find I am liking it a lot. Its on ABC on Mondays, I think. Totally takes looks and size out of the picture initially, and then at the end they get to see the person and decide whether they stay or not. Even skinny beautiful people have problems staying with dates on this one. Interesting!
