Hello everyone,
I'm back home. It was a nice visit but always way too short. And I always hate leaving her that far from us. Maybe one day soon she will decide to move back closer to one of us. Food is never good, dietwise, at mom's.
And the scale shows it this morning.
I am going to do a shock and awe (stealing that from someone before) this week and get my head back in the right place concerning food. I won't have so much going on this week that will derail exercise either. Or, more to the point, won't be an excuse for me to derail myself.
Anyone get the People magazine? There is a picture of last season's Biggest Loser winner showing how she's maintained her loss. OMG, she looks amazing. She went from 234 to 125 and has stayed at that weight.
Today, we need to run to the grocery store and get a birthday cake for DH's #1 son. Its his birthday. We've never done a cake for him before. But the day after his daughter's wedding, DS fell in his driveway and shattered his elbow. He had to have surgery and has nine pins.
DH saw him on Friday (cause we didn't know until Thursday) and is feeling sorry for him. I told DH that instead of a cake, he should be making his favorite food - pumpkin pie. I always make him a pumpkin pie around Thanksgiving.
This afternoon, I'm driving up to go riding with Lorrie. Instead of hauling my horse, I am going to ride her big paint, Chief. He needs exercised plus makes it much easier for me since its an hour drive. She always does a long trail ride and its hard on the inner thigh muscles too.
I wasn't planning on these two trips so its crimping my time for getting caught up on laundry, housecleaning and bills. I'm working on the bills and will have to do the other stuff tomorrow night.
Better get back to the bills.
Barb -
on your loss. Truly inspiring and I am so thrilled for you. Good to see that shoe store is working with you and making progress. Check out the Couch to 5K podcast on itunes. I use it for doing interval work on the treadmill and elliptical. Pretty good music and is cued for when to speed up and slow down. I also like Cadence Revolution for building up during a workout along with the music.
Val - That sorta counts as front and center.
Yeah, the work stuff worked out and I have returned to being a normal human being again.
to all. Better get at this or else I will not get this done today.
