Well, I just had a salad for lunch with two HB eggs in it for protein. I also had a lovely hour with my friend Rob on the back deck - with Caesars! Please tell me Clamato is considered fish.

I'm off to the Marriage Blessing thingie and will try to keep myself busy socializing at the reception afterwards so I can avoid the food. (The famous Kay Dean has made wonderful butter tarts! I may have one as I've sworn not to ever eat another after Kay leaves this earth.) Pray for me.

hey kiko.....nice to see a fellow texan here ( houston area here ) i can completely relate to the heat and today after church i had to force myself outside to the garage to hit the treadmill. oh well, a little extra sweat means a few more calories got burned away i guess.

i had posted elsewhere and got lost along the way somehow. has been awhile since i was here last, but am back on the beach after some sidelining
( my own laziness and lack of will power ) but am here to stay until i lose what i intend to lose.

hope everyone has a great sunday afternoon!!

The weekend is going TOO fast! I worked until midnight last night. Looked at and was able to ignore a 4:30AM page and then had to get up when I got paged at 5:30AM. I tried to sleep a little afterwards. We had church this morning and I started planning meals/groceries and then got pulled back into a change for work. I thought I was going to do it Wed night but it turns out it was needed today. Oh, well, that is 2 hours of work I won't have to do then.

I'm ready to get back to planning meals so I can get to the store. I've really gained this month (my ticker is lying right now) so I need to get back to healthy eating and I have GOT to get back exercising. Between work and this poison ivy, I just haven't managed to do it hardly at all!

Whoever said that the third day of week two was a was right. I've had the worse day today starting with waking up mad for no reason (does anyone else do this) and then being the drill sgt. trying to get everyone to church before it's over... Afterwards, I just felt guilty for yelling at everyone (especially dh with his arm in a sling ) so we decided to eat luch out...OK...I admit that it was chinese, and yes I had some rice, but not anywhere near what I usually have.... I feel like the whole day has been a bust. Sorry for the whining.

On a more positive note, my girlfriend has decided to jump on the sand with us and has recruited 2 friends as well. I've told her to come on over and to bring plenty of sunscreen and bottled water.

Hope you all have a cool rest of the Sunday and I'll see you tomorrow!

oh, today has been a non stop eating festival. nothing off program but I'm sure I have no business eating this much food. I'm avoiding the scales because I'm PMSing and I gain water weight then anyway and seeing the scales climb right now wouldn't be good.

On the up side, I did get a HUGE amount of exercise in yesterday and a good bit today. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go for my first hour on the eliptical trainer. If I can't get the whole hour out, I'll move to another machine but I'm sticking to my goal of a full hour of cardio. Then 20 minutes on the quick weight lifting cycle.

Today was just hard because it was boring! I was stuck at home - after watching the finale stage of the Tour de France there wasn't anythign to do. Our well still isn't working so no water for cleaning me or the house. I read my books from the library and the house was mostly clean. I watched TV and kept looking out the window to see if DF and his friend were FINALLY finished with the car they were fixing (which was suppose to take 1 hour and was blocking my car in the drive way). It was a long day. I ate a lot of food. I'm proud of myself for not cheating but feel FULLLLLL from what I did eat! I'll be glad when the week starts again tomorrow!
