So I definitely HAVE to get it kicked up a knotch. Jim and I got married when I was pregnant...so we didn't have the big cerimony, reception, etc. We're doing it this year...and I have 5 months until I wedding dress shop...EEK. I can totally get down 60lbs by then. I'd be happy with that.
Well my husband finally noticed my hair yesterday. He says, your hair is darker isn't it? I said yea, and pointed out his delay in noticing. and that so far everyone has said the exact same thing... I like it!! And he immediately says, I like it! lol He always complains when I tell him what I plan to do with my hair but when I do it he loves it... so I stopped telling him my plans.
Tonight is Thai night with a couple friends. I still have to figure out what I am making but I am looking forward to a healthy veggie meal.
I'm actually pretty excited about weigh in today. I haven't felt excited in a few weeks. I had a really good week tracking wise. And I don't care HOW I feel...I have to start working out a little bit this week. Even if it's just the ab circle. I think that'll help with some of the depression. I'm on anti-depressants...but sometimes I need an extra boost. I blame the horrendus weather and cabin fever. I just want to be outside and take the kids for a walk and play with them in the back yard. Spring cannot come soon enough!!!
I don't know how you guys do it over in cold snow country. We had a week of cloudy fog and I was all depressed and didn't want to do anything. I grew up in MI and used to get seasonal depression but now I think I would die of cabin fever! lol
I was worried about today at work being Goodie Day and all. We had 2 men bringing stuff in so I thought for sure it would be doughnuts and crap but one of them brought in low fat yogurt, granola and bananas!!
Howdy!
Busy day!
Ate my lunch for breakfast...and now I don't want oatmeal for lunch. I knew that would happen.
Hope all is going well. Will catch up soon!
mel- glad you're doing better! i know ny has been getting slammed with snow, my mom has been miserable all winter...i def don't miss those snowy winters.
i made myself a smoothie for breakfast, along with a nutri grain waffle. milk, frozen berries, and a banana. yay for my magic bullet!
super sore today. i think i'm taking a rest day today from the workout. my body is really telling me no. i'll take a walk later just to move around a bit, but no tracy anderson for me today.
dinner tonight is a burger with scallions and paprika mixed in, with oven fries and sauteed spinach with garlic. what are you all having?

I was so upset yesterday. I had such a good food week...I expected to see a loss.
I've been retaining some water...mostly due to all the problems I've been having...and BM issues due to the pain meds I'm on...that's the only thing I can think of...other than too much fruit. I'm going to cut back on my daily allowance a bit so I don't have to worry about having too much fruit.
I figure I'm going to give this 2 more weeks to see if I do another flip flop and then if I do, I'm going back to Momentum.
Fill- you meals sound great. Last nights Thai dinner came out really good. I made skinnytaste's fried rice. A friend made tofu in peanut sauce and the other made a REALLY good Thai soup from scratch. I was so stuffed on good healthy food. I had like 2 servings of the rice though. It was good.
Mel- sorry to hear about the disappointing weigh in. Our bodies are strange machines. I am staying away from the scale this week, TOM.
I am still having workout motivation issues. I can't wait for daylight savings. I need more daylight!
mel - sorry to hear that! I can definitely relate about having a great week only to gain. Meds suck...they can really screw with your body. I hope you and your doctor figure things out!
fill - I had a horrible dinner last night. Ugh. It's been a bad couple of days. I am going to make skinnytaste Shepard's pie at some point. Yum.
So I overslept about 2 hours today. Meaning I missed boot camp. I'm super disappointed in myself. But on that note, I feel like I'm getting sick. So I can't be too down on myself.
So yesterday I bought a book for women runners. I'm really excited. I want to run a half marathon at Disneyland for my birthday. It is 205 days away. (little over six months). Is that do-able? I mean, I went over the training plan for the half marathon and if I do C25K before that, I think I can do it (it will fit time-wise). I'll be starting part way through C25K, also (week 3?). I think it would be a great birthday present to myself. And a goal to have. Since I'm goal-less (well...besides the whole losing weight thing lol). I'm reluctant to tell people about it because I was going to do a 5k in October, but didn't. And I just don't know what people will think, you know? I'm not a runner at this point. And my grandfather is kind of blunt. I feel like if I tell him he won't really believe in me. (after starting boot camp and being very sore he said "well duh, you've been a lump for a couple of years." nice, huh?). How are you all doing today?
mel- you know, my smoothie yesterday was something like 7 points- and it consisted of a banana, a few frozen strawberries, and 1% milk. i was huh? i know a banana has points, but really? so yeah, maybe having more veg versus fruit might help.
also, i plug almost everything into a recipe, as there are so many "hidden" points like that. stay positive
kay- yum! thai soup from scratch? your friend needs to pass along the recipe. i'm a soup fiend....i made stracciatella soup a couple of days ago. she has it on skinny taste. my mom (i'm italian...well, sicilian really) used to make it all the time. i just put in 1 oz of cooked chicken that i had left over and put in 1 oz of pasta. it was just for me
maybe finding some more exercises that you like doing? i sometimes struggle with it too, but i find that if i like what i'm doing, i'm more likely to stick to it.
what's your current exercise? maybe changing it up?
i'm still sore, but i think i can work out today. gonna make some lunch and head out to run some errands.
ade- my friend is currently training for a half marathon. she recently lost 60lbs. she's been training so far for about 3 months, and she's running about 8 miles with (relative) ease. i think you could definitely do it. she runs 5 times a week, usually 5 miles at a time, and goes for the 8 miles 2 times a week, sometimes 3 if she has the time. don't let anyone tell you you can't do it. just take a stab at it. i think its a great goal to set for yourself. if you feel people in your life won't encourage you, you don't have to tell them. we'll for sure be rooting for you!
