Hello ladies It is a new month, a fresh clean slate that we have laying before us. Each of us knows what we need to do and what challenges we have to conquer. We can pray and lift each other up and watch the weight go bye bye! But more than the weight we can get stronger and healthier. By the time the holidays roll around we will have our new routines in place so we can kick some holiday eating booty.
I started the 21 day walk challenge from the Leslie Sansone sight. I'm not a paid member but they tell you have many miles and stuff for those of us that aren't. Today was a three mile walk. I did the walk away abs. Breakfast was spaghetti squash with tomato, onion and a fried egg on top. Delicious.
My honey is on vacation this week. We are having a staycation so I should be able to post.
Solly...Just work the wine into your program. You should be able to enjoy the things you love.
Ellen...WTG getting to WA this morning.
Toni..did you make the soup? I smell something good from here. Hope you are having a great week so far.
Mercee..How close are you to goal?
Hubby just came in and I'm sure he is starvin' like Marvin. He and the boy just came in from squirrel hunting. Good thing we don't rely on that for food or we would starve. They are three for O this year..LOL
Well darn I didn't get my treadmill uncovered because we went grocery shopping instead and I was to tired afterwards. So that's my job today. I'm going to put a pot of beans on soon for dinner. Picked up a slice of lean ham yesterday for it.
Ellen- Enjoy water aerobics today. Sounds like your week end was jam packed. We're to far in the country to have any trick or treaters so it saves me getting candy. The pictures of your Grand kids all dressed was so cute.
Crystle- Wow your work out sounds intense. Got the stuff for my soup but haven't made it yet. Hope I have enough whole grain noodles the Wal Mart I went to didn't have any. Yes you're right its a new month. Hope we have success in it.
Solly- We've always talked about those week ends. I enjoy having wine then too. And the eating is hard. My body thinks its a free for all. Always have had trouble with the week ends....
We had a sub for water aerobics. It was a much older, very large woman. Made me think I could do it...she was definitely larger than me, and older. I think it might be fun as long as I did not need to teach at 8! haha!
I drove over to the store after class, got out and stuck my hand in my pocket and NO atm card! I thought either I had not put it in my pocket like I thought, or I had lost it. I drove home and thought to look under the seat before coming upstairs to check my purse. There it was! Under the seat! I was very happy to find it, but annoyed that I did not think to check while at the store. Now I can't decide if I want to drive all the way back there or not.
I just had a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Its actually after noon...I like to eat before I go to class but ran out of time. I am sure I will be hungry again soon, and will then eat some leftover chili.
Good morning! I have an appointment with my applied kinseologist chiropractor this morning. I love going because I always feel pretty good when I walk out of there. I have not done as much for my foot as she wanted me to, due to being so busy, but I hope she can do adjustments that will help.
It is the second and I did not meet my goal of 35 pounds. I think I am stuck around 29-30. I guess I will move the date to December 1 and see what happens. Bummer, but I am not giving up! 29 or 30 is the best I have done in years. And its staying off....
Good morning ladies, I got out and voted early this morning. It was like the lesser of 2 evils. But I did it. We have a busy night, my DH's phone went out so we have to go get him another one plus go to the funeral home. He may have to wait another night on the phone, it takes too long to do both.
I have steaks laid out but don't know if we will have time for them.
Crystle, what a lovely talk. I hope it does me some good as well as others. I laughed about the boys squirrel hunting and not getting any. Glad you are not starving. I keep thinking of joining the Jillian Michaels website too. The free one doesn't give me food to eatl.
Toni, YOU DID IT! I am so proud of you. Keep it up even if only for a few minutes. Do 2 minutes more each day.
Ellen, that is scary about your ATM card. It give you a feeling in the pit of your stomach doesn't it. I hate that. Glad you found it though. You will be leading WA before you know it. You will get your goal. Keep it up. Good job.
Off to do something. I finished all the immediate work I had so now into the fun stuff.
I had a busy weekend as usual. I had family in from out of town. Yesterday I had extensive dental work done and went to sleep afterwards. I did not workout. Hwever I workd out Sunday evening (my gym is opne 7a-7p on weekends) because I knew I wouldn't be able to on Monday after dental surgery. I am back at work today and feel fine and plan to workout tonight.
Toni- Great job getting that workout in!!! You will build your time up.
Ellen- I'm glad you found your atm card.
Solly-I plan on voting after work today. Tonight is biggest loser. I am not interested this year I don't know why I use to love biggest loser. I just watch the elimination and erase it now.
Cystle- Thanks for the pep talk we all need them from time to time.
My appointment went well. She added another supplement to what I am taking, then asked me if I had been eating something I should not..like sugar. Busted! I had a few little Hershey dark chocolate minis. She also told me she could tell eggs were bothering me and causing inflammation again, so I am back off eggs totally for a while. I need to figure out low carb breakfasts that do not include eggs. I may go to Whole Foods and invest in some organic chicken or pork breakfast sausage. I can eat yogurt, but I get tired of it.
Dinner tonight was a chicken and broccoli stir fry with brown rice. I need to go finish cleaning up the leftover rice. I always make extra to freeze to have on hand for emergencies.
I went out to the garden this afternoon to see if there was anything out there. I found about half a dozen usable tomatoes, and a bunch of serrano and poblano peppers. The collards are getting bigger, and the broccoli looks good. I have lettuce I can probably start harvesting now. Nice.
I SHOULD go paint, but I still have no clear idea of what I want to paint. Maybe I should start some portraits to give for Christmas presents.
I am planning on hitting water aerobics in the morning...tomorrow evening is covered dish supper, so I need to plan on what I am taking for that. Thursday I have lunch with a friend and a meeting in the evening. Thankfully, there is nothing on Friday! Or the weekend. We want to paint the office, and get going on completing my studio area. My get up and go seems to have got up and went. I sure feel old!
Well, my buster buddies, its Wednesday. Do you know where you scale is?
Mine is alive and well and tells me I am down two pounds, back to my lowest point in many many years. Onward and downward!
I am vascillating on water aerobics. Monday I noticed my swim suit I like to wear for it is disintegrating. This is normal for suits used in public pools as they use SO much chlorine. I was bummed, as I did not think it was that old. I ordered another one just like it last night, but it won't get here until maybe next week. So, do I risk ruining another of my suits, and it being uncomfortable for water aerobics to boot? I hate these decisions...
Ellen- Congrats on your loss!! Keep up the good work. What decision did you make concerning your swimsuit? May be you could invest in a cheaper one for the class.
I am happy to report I am down 2 pounds today. Last night I went through my closet and 5 pairs of pants are way too big. Now I will treat myself to a reasonably priced pair of brown and black slacks to carry me through the winter.
Well I'm out of here. Have a fantastic day and congrats to all the losers!!!
MERCEE: Congrats on your loss! I know that felt good finding stuff TOO big! I hope to be in that place soon.
And since I am sure all you inquiring minds what to know...I did NOT get to water aerobics. As I was hunting down a suit to wear, the phone rang. My son in law is sick with the flu and my daughter was hoping I could pick my grandson up from school at 2:30. Here is the deal though...I would LOVE to but Tom took MY new car today and I am driving the old one. Bleh! It will do, but not as well for long runs ...because they live like 45 minutes away from me. Sigh. Why couldn't they settle closer? So, by the time I got off the phone, and found a suit, I was late for class and thought, forget it. Instead I cleaned some, worked on a batch of cheese I am making and fixed myself GF pancakes for breakfast.
New Month
It is a new month, a fresh clean slate that we have laying before us. 
Each of us knows what we need to do and what challenges we have to conquer. We can pray and lift each other up and watch the weight go bye bye!
