I've got WI in a few hours, a bit more nervous about it this time than my first one. I kept on plan, but with all the visitors and with coworkers leaving and having their good-bye luncheons, these visits to restaurants are making me uneasy. That and I picked up some WW frozen items. If my WI disappoints me, I'll definitely return quite strictly to my raw veggies that was the major food I ate in my first week.
I'd have to say that my key accomplishment yesterday was avoiding the heavier Irish foods at the pub my coworkers picked. I was extremely lucky to find a turkey burger without bun hidden on the menu with a side of two red potatoes and some rather over cooked brocolli. I guess a regular to the place was diabetic and had other issues so the pub created a multi-choice plate just for him. Nice of them. Saved my bum as well, hehe.
My walk was nice, though I need a thicker jacket, though that had me walk faster, so maybe not.
Yay, ibcnuldu! That's great!
Eek! Got to run. Work's out - will continue post tonight!
Wow, SissieSue, nice goal! I just love free workout information! Thanks!
Good to hear, donnalynn! I bet it must be a bit difficult to change it up when you're trapped indoors because of snow.
Have fun, Julie!
I need to get my butt outdoors and walk tonight. I managed a half hour the last time, so I'll try 45 minutes. Maybe I can creep past the dogs this time...
hello all! I started WW for the first time yesterday, so far so good. a couple classmates and I are committing to an hour exercise class at our school gym and today was one of them, and I am sore!!
Thanks, donnalynn!
I'm hoping to break my 10 lbs goal this week; I really need some new sneakers to help keep me motivated, exercise-wise!
I slacked off and never made that 45 minute walk like I wanted to. But exercise has never been a favorite of mine, changing how I eat is like breathing compared to it. Ah, well.
Welcome, haleygirl82! Awesome work getting that commitment in!
Well, my weekend goal will have to be a bit different this time. Instead of exercise, I got to get my resume in order and work on some essay questions to apply to attempt to get a less flimsy job. One plus, my last day has been pushed back four months! *does a little happy dance* But my job is still a temp job,
Well, I'm keeping my spirits up and my weekend goal is to stay within my points and get up and move instead of growing moss as I sit in front of my computer monitor! Maybe I'll take my essay questions for a walk, and pause and jot things down when they come to me.
Happy weekend to you all! I hope everything is going as hoped so far!
today I went to an hour kickboxing class at my school. Weekends I don't always exercise but since my daughter's school is closed on Monday I'm going to do week 2 day 1 of the couch to 5k at my mom's house instead of my school gym
I've been kind of MIA the past week :P Just had a seriously hectic week. I really need to exercise more. I only exercised twice this week. It doesn't seem like enough to me.
Twice is a heck of a lot better than none! ibcnuldu, good to see that you are back,
Yeah, but I used all of my flex points this week. I find that my body always gains a lot of water weight after strength training and I'm on my period. So I'm not really sure how much I lost. I'm thinking of postponing my weigh in.
You could always use your "free weigh in" pass if you really rather not hop up on that scale and still get and give meeting input. That is if you go to meetings But yeah, I fight a mean TOM myself, my iron gets so bad that I just zombie around and give people looks if they want me to do something physical.
Well, I had an odd weekend. I tracked fine on Sat but Sunday went out the window as soon as I realized I woke up around noon. Craming in 32 points into those eight or nine hours of awake time would have been easy to do healthily if I was at my own house, but at my folks' house? I'd feel like a mess! So unfortunately that lead to not paper tracking, though my mental tally was 16-20 pts for the day. Bleh! Stupid lack of appetite.
On the plus side though, I managed to snag my sister both days and we did a quick nature walk on Saturday before a mile on the treadmill and two miles on the exercise bike before her gym closed. Then went back soon after I woke on Sunday and did another two miles on each. That felt good and I'm not sore so I didn't over do it.
I think I'll post her and maybe my pics if I can get that part working.
I hope I make it to -10lbs total this week, I could use non-muddy sneakers.
