Well lets try this again!
I hit the wrong button.
I had a busy weekend! Friday night was a paint n sip fund raiser for my grandson's preschool. My mom and went to supper before, unfortunately my daughter in law wasnt able to join us for supper. There is a lovely restuarant near where they live that is on the shore of a beautiful lake. My son and daughter in law had their wedding recetion there and I go there any chance I get. I had grilled shrinmp and vegetables. I forgot to tell them no butter on the veggies. But otherwise I was on plan. At the paint and sip I did have one bloody mary. My daughter in law, mother and I had a great time! We all were happy with our paintings. I love to paint and am glad I have started again.
Sunday it was hot here, 88 degrees. I went for a 3.5 mile walk, left at 11:45 am. It was hot!! In the afternoon hubby and I sighted in my deer rifle. Just over a month until I go deer hunting for the first time. Then despite the lovely day, we started work on the living room. I had to clean out my art/craft room so we could move furniture in there. Hubby took everything but the clock off the walls. and we moved nearly all the furniture out. We will be painting the ceiling and walls and getting new carpet. With any luck I will get new furniture next spring.
It is often said if you don't like the weather in Minnesota stick around a couple hours, it will change. And change it did! Yesterday was cloudy, the high was 57, and that was at 7:30 in the morning winds were 40 mph with gusts to 60 mph. I opted to go to the gym rather than walk. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical!! I wanted to quite after 25, but I just focused on my tunes and kept telling myself go 5 more minutes and see how you feel. I was so glad when I made it through the full 60 minutes!
winning I love your positive attitude. Just take it one day at a time you will succeed!
curvy Regarding stress, there is a stress hormone, I believe cortisol, (but I may have the name wrong) that does cause you to hold on to or even gain weight. When I was looking into bariatric surgery a few years back that was one of the things my bariatric doctor discussed with me.
kukkie A gym at work with only $50 annual membership! SCORE!! I would love that!
lovemylife Good Luck on the 500 cal/day. I am not sure I could do that. Although your meal plan looked pretty good. I wish I could away from eating after 5 pm. Many nights we don't eat supper until 8:30 or 9:00. By the time I get home from work, get my exercise in, and get supper made it is late. Also there are many nights hubby doesn't get home until 7:30 and he doesn't want to eat right away.
Weight didn't move much over the weekend, but I saw a big drop this morning. I guess that elliptical paid off! Plan on going to gym afterwork again tonight!
