So I am off to a good start. I am still working on building my support system so I was happy to find another IE blog and an IE forum. I’m excited about that. I made it through another 3 days of exercise so I need to reward myself. I will most likely buy bath & body products. We shall see. I decided I am on the internet enough at home so I will stop getting on at lunch at work. Instead I will start working on reading the million books that I own. I am looking forward to that. Now the big question is where to start with my books? Maybe with Bob’s “Are You Ready?”. I went grocery shopping and came home with a ton of food that will help with this journey. Most times when I go grocery shopping I binge that night but I didn’t this time so I am really happy about that.
One down and forever to go! I was up half the night as usual but between 3FC and another website I frequent I was good to go. I was also watching the Australian Open and looking at my mags. It helps me to multitask–to be busy to keep myself diverted. One of my friends is having an Inaguration Party today. I was all excited to go a few weeks ago but now I’m thinking I can watch it easily enough from home. I don’t think I’m going. I need to call and break the news to her.
It has been about 5 months since I blogged. I needed to stop. I was getting too wrapped up in my weight loss and couldn’t focus on much else. I feel I came back at a good time. I do have to start over with counting my binge free days. I wasn’t on a continuous binge but I was bingeing here and there. Today is Day 1. I am a little bit heavier than the last time I blogged.
I did do the MCM 10K in a little over 2 hours. I was very happy with that since I totally stopped training and walked it cold turkey. The good news was I did without any issues. It was not difficult. I plan to do it again this year with a goal of walking it in less than 2 hours. Contemplating doing the MS Walk in April. Will probably do a 5K in May and if I’m not working the Race for the Cure in June.
and I’m down. I keep digging it back out. Decided to leave it out but will try and stay off it. We’ll see how that works. Decided I won’t buy a new container for my thank you cards. I did some rearranging and found something else so I might get some cute accessories for my hair. We’ll see. This new design is starting to grow on me so I might be good to go.
I love butterflies and what they symbolize but I needed a change. I really didn’t like the dark background too much but dealt with it for the butterflies. I may still change the look again but for now this works. The third column with repeating information from the second column is bothering me right now so I may still change again. I’m doing quite well right now in terms of eating and exercising. Very,very happy about that.
I made it there on August 1st. Bought the Brenda Lee bag from QVC. Its waitlisted. Expected ship date is 9/15. Can’t wait. I’m on the board of a non profit and I need a bag totally dedicated to that and this will be it. I plan to reward myself again at 150 days. I will buy body washes from Carol’s Daughter (www.carolsdaughter.com) because I am going all natural. Currently I use Bath & Body Works products which is probably not that great for my extremely dry skin. I’m down to my last few. I plan to reward myself again at 180 days. That would be 6 months binge free so I really have to think about how to reward myself for that one. Maybe spend $180 on something??
The 10K training is going well. I am in my second week. I will do Day 3 tomorrow. The ipod is so helping! I won’t be able to use it the day of the race but I will have friends there so that will help.
I subscribed to this podcast and I am finding it helpful. It is called Inside Out Weightloss: http://renee.personallifemedia.com/ I’ve been listening to it each morning while taking a bath. I found out about through the “Living Rainbow Color” blog listed in my blogroll to the right. She links the podcasts and posts her thoughts about each episode. You might want to take a look at it.
Again I have been neglecting my blog. Bad me. Lets see so what have I been up to? I got my stimulus check and did some serious shopping. I am very happy with my purchases. Did I talk about that already? I don’t remember. I bought my ipod and I am obsessed. I already have 400 songs on it. I got itunes gift cards for my b-day and I own a ton (an understatement) of cds. It really made a difference when I was on the treadmill yesterday. IE is going well. Tired of the scale. Can’t wait to stop stepping on it every week when the Just Beachy challenge ends.
I’ve been bullshitting about training for my 10k. I keep starting and stopping. I started again this week. I refuse to fail on the day of the race. I will finish it and it won’t take forever.
100 days binge free! I am really trying to cut back on spending, pay off some credit cards, and save. That means if I want or need anything I must pay cash/debit card–same thing. So in terms of rewards I think I will get functional items. Meaning something I want and need. So I will buy the fashionable reusable bags. My next reward will be a pretty container for my thank card collection which has got a bit out of hand. I don’t need to buy any for awhile. When I actually begin exercising on a consistent basis I will start buying exercise related rewards. At this point they wouldn’t even be used. I will buy an ipod for my b-day which I will use for exercising and just for listening to music too.
As usual I have been neglecting my blog. Today I am back. I have deleted two pages: Exercise & Food Log. I track them elsewhere on 3FC and I can’t keep track of them here and there. If its complicated I won’t do it. So I won’t log that here. I made it to 90 days binge free on June 22nd! I rewarded myself with two new swimsuits for my vacay to Myrtle Beach. Yay for me!!!! I make it through today and it will be 100 days! I am so proud of myself.
Day 90 is a week from today. I’m trying to make decisions about what to get. I’m thinking about buying bags from here. www.envirosax.com. I have bags for Whole Foods but I don’t like carrying them into other stores. So I want to get some generic but stylish bags that I can use for Trader Joe’s, Farmer’s Market, and any other stores I may go to. Or I may buy some more pilates dvds. I’m watching some on e-bay. We shall see.
