Evening chickies...
I just tried to post but remembered before I hit send to copy & paste...good thing! This whole post went into cyberspace...I wonder what is going on with 3FC lately?
I'm tired tonight! Put up Christmas decorations, carried boxes, etc. at work all day today! That should count as something r/t exercise, eh? I didn't get in my 3rd workout this morning, so I really HAVE to get one in tomorrow or I will fall short of that goal!
I'm doing great at journalling and keeping track of calories. Today's calorie's came in at 1290. I feel like I'm not counting something especially after yesterday's with ice cream and & cookie coming in under 1500, but I am really counting everything I put in my mouth...yes, even the 90 calories of creamer (3T) I put in my coffee every morning! I think I do need to eat more in the morning, though. My hard boiled eggs didn't last until noon today! I was starving!...oops forgot to add those 3 NIlla Wafers I ate with the residents during Nail Care...So that puts me up to 1335, which is still ok! I like cottage cheese & pineapple, so I could have that in the morning...relatively low cal and I'd be getting my dairy. That's one thing I've really cut out...dairy...since I started counting calories...it just adds up way too fast! I try to eat one of those little yogurts once a day just to get some dairy! And usually I add Kashi cereal in it. Makes it a nice little snack/breakfast! I find eating smaller meals more often helps with the hunger, too. So I try to keep some crackers or something in my desk at work...oops...another thing I forgot. I had some Wheat Thins in my desk, so I need to add another 140 to my total...it's adding up quickly here! I'm up to 1475...OK, I think that's everything! Still under 1500, though!
I'm planning to do some shopping in the morning before work tomorrow...Kohl's is having a big sale and they open at 7, so I thought I would go there and see what they have! I have to get DD some brown shoes. DH bought her some cute little winter outfits (he's such a good Daddy). The skirt is pink and brown, so we HAVE to have brown shoes. He was going to buy her some cute boots, but she didn't like them and he went tonight looking for shoes (said he went everywhere!) and looked last night, but can't find any in her size! I'm sure I can find SOMETHING!! Target is my favorite place to shop...they'll probably have them!
OK...that was a random thought! Thursday is weigh day for me. I sure hope the scale is good to me this week! I'm not really feeling a difference yet in clothes, but hopefully soon, I will! I'd sure like to have that 10# gone by New Years! Wow...that' would be a GREAT present to myself! I feel like I have really worked hard at it this week. I just have to keep telling myself "Don't Give Up!" That's my biggest downfall! But I do feel like I've got the mojo right now and for me, that is HUGE! I haven't felt this way in over a year! I'm really not interested in bingeing on stuff I shouldn't have and I am trying to stay away from bad carbs! That's the hardest for me! And once I start, it's so hard to stop! So, I really have to watch it in the next few days here...I've had the PMS chocolate attacks and have eaten 1&1/2 candy bars in two days, so...
Thanks for listening to me carry on!
MsRD...Wouldn't it be fun to go out to cyberspace and try to find all those posts we keep losing???? Great job on the calories for you, too! Now get going on the exercise, chickie! Who's got the tazer, anyway?
Betani...Good luck with the exam. I hope you will see some good results! YOu have been working hard to get where you are, so there should be some good changes, don't you think?
Malpay...Squats! Oooooohhhhh....I dread them! I remember in Jr. High (and that's a long time ago) when I played basketball, that was the one thing I dreaded...that and "Hops" (we had cement bleachers and the coach made us hop up and down the bleachers! Talk about killer!!) Good for you on reminding yourself that you are important enough to not have that treat today! Yea you! I'm a big sweets eater, too!
Cristi...Can you come clean my house???? I have some ceiling fans which are in desperate need of cleaning...I really don't like that job! The tree is up now, so that area got vacuumed, but the rest of the house really needs some deep cleaning...LOL!
Elisha...Well, no wonder you are tired, chickie! Midnight? Goodness! And that must have been some facial you gave yourself! I wish you were closer, you could give me some tips on how to take care of my face! It needs help! Oily, open pores in the "t-zone"...I exfoliate frequently...Nothing seems to help! Maybe I need to be more consistent! Ok, now chickie...you need to get back on track! Get out of this pre-holiday funk you are in...we need your motivation back here!!! C'mon now!!!! Sorry about the inspection...again! That is no fun! Let's hope all will go well on this last try! I've got my fingers crossed for you!
Sonja...Great abs...now that could be a goal for me...I'd like to just be able to feel mine!! LOL! You are working hard and you will acheive your goal! Don't hurt your back, though...you need it!
Babs...DH had Gastric Bypass Surgery about 6 years ago...he always dreaded flying for that reason! That is a great goal for you, chickie! Very measurable! Keep up the great work!
ForestDawn...Where do you live that you can dig out a garden bed in mid December??? LOL! We have over a foot of snow ont he ground here and more coming down...and on it's way! Makes me think of Spring! Thank you!
TBJ & Joy...Where ARE you two? I hope all is well...we are thinking of you and sending good vibes toward the WEST...Catch them before they pass you!
I'll be back tomorrow to repor that I have done my biking as promised! It will only be 3 days for me, but there's always next week to meet all those goals, right?
Hugs!
