I'm back..lol.

We couldn't find any used Wii's, so we just bought a new one from Target. I also bought Your Shape with Jenny McCarthy. It comes with a little camera, so it can detect & correct your movement, and lets you exercise controller free. And you dont even need the balance board. You can even use your own exericse equipment!! I just need to find them now, lol. Or maybe I'll buy more later if I cant find them. I also bought this other game called Just Dance. It's sooooooo much fun, and it gives you a bit of a workout too, lol. I was really sweating while doing some of the dances, lol. My best score was during "Can't Touch This" LOL!!! Some of them are really hard though, and require a lot of movement. Which is a good challenge.

Anyways..I feel a little bad because I gave in and bought a meatball sub from Subway. I was gonna go for something healthy, but I just didnt really want to, lol. I did get a 6 inch one though, so I guess thats okay. I doubt I worked it off by that Just Dance game, lol.

OHH..did I mention that I got my eyebrows threaded?? It wasn't as scary as I thought it was gonna be, lol. It didn't hurt all that much either. It felt like plucking. The girl even shaped my brows, thank God!! LoL!! They were uneven for awhile, lol.

Okay...going to go watch Mama Mia. I bought the dvd finally, and it has a sing along!!! Yay!! I'm a singing & dancing machine tonight!! LoL!!

What is threaded eyebrows???

I am in for a Monday weigh in!! I know now I need exercise in my daily routine. It is impossible to keep weight off without some form of exercise. I hang my head all the way down to the potato chip bag. lol
It is hard while in Portland to stay on track but I went to the store and bought what I like to eat. The ex is waaay too good of a cook. I strayed last night w/ some peanuts but I really need to get a handle on this weight. I couldn't stand to gain back and have to lose it again in the future. Tired of the yo yo!!

Eyebrow threading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_(epilation) I asked the chick who did my brows what kind of thread she uses. And she said just regular thread from Walmart, LOL!!

I bought the Wii Fit Plus today!! YAY!! It came with the regular wii fit plus game, and a Jillian Michaels one. So thats pretty awesome. My Wii Fit age is 35!! Fonzo's is 30. Really not good. But I weigh less than what I thought I did. I weigh about 4 pounds less. So thats good I guess. I had to change my ticker, lol.

This whole weight loss stuff is really hard. I can't stop eating late at night!!!!!!!! I really wish there was a lock on my fridge. Actually..I wish I could lock up all the food, so I won't be tempted. I need to buy a giant pack of gum.

OKay..gonna go.

Francie-I was going to ask what threading was, but SuzyQ beat me to it. Hooray on weighing less than you thought you did.

SuzyQ-I purposely did not buy chips for New Years eve. Not that all the cheese and crackers were better but at least there were veggies....

Hubby cracks me up...he thinks I have another man!!! How funny..when would I have time (or energy) to start up another relationship? Most days I really don't want the one I have got. If our relationship ended I would be single for a very long time. I don't need another controlling person in my life thank you very much.

Monday weigh in sounds good. Don't worry if you don't hear from me through the week. I am going to start spending evenings with my Mom.No computer there!!

Our party went real well Fri. and lasted from !:30 p.m. until about 11:30 or so. I know I had the kitchen cleaned up and was in bed by 12:30. SOoo, a long day, but so much fun. Yesterday I just swept floors and did 3 loads of laundry.

So cold outside. I really wanted to do after the holiday shopping...now after being sick and it being so cold I am sure I missed all of the bargains. DH wanted me to get a new winter coat with his gift card, but I know it is gonna be too late. Heck, they have probably got all the Valentine stuff out by now...and the Spring clothes. I know how retail works. :)

I started reading The Wedding by Nicolas Sparks. I want to read a couple others of his also. Haven't started my Grisham..I am taking it for the 3 weeks in CA. along with a Jennifer Weiner book.

I am going to try to find a new PLAN. The old ones certainly haven't worked. Ha Actually, I told DH this week is "no snacks in the evening" week. If I can get that under control again I will feel like I am doing something right. I will weigh on Mondays also...and try to do the ticker thing..10 pounds at a time. Of course, it might be next Christmas with the ticker not moving. I am so darn slow.... Today I ate a bowl of cereal and a banana. That was "brunch." I am having a salad and baked potato for dinner and might throw some turkey on the salad. I bought Healthy Goodness wheat bread..so can have a slice of bread also. (only 60 cal. and no fat) I am going back to Fitday to try to count calories. The NEW part of the plan is going to be the exercise....hopefully. I am going to walk in the a.m. (indoors) and use the trampoline in the afternoon.(at least 3 days a week) During Jeopardy I am going to do a 15 minute walk every day. I am making a chart/calendar to keep track...and shame myself if I fail. LOL. This plan is for starting tomorrow...so *fingers crossed.*

Right now I have to go do ironing...DH really will be naked if I don't get that done.

Good luck to us all....Happy HEALTHY 2010.

Ugh..I feel like total crap right now. I went on a eating binge last night and gained 6 pounds!!!!!!!! The Wii Fit got mad at me, LOL!! It said not to eat after 9pm. So I'm adding that to my list of things to remember. This is so hard. No wonder why I always gave up. :( But its only the 3rd day. I just need to get over myself and stay with the postive thinking. Which is also on my list. I started a blog. If you'd like to follow me or read it..here it is: http://twifreakweightloss.blogspot.com/

Oh ya..I tried the Jillian Michaels game. It kinda sucks. I dont understand it at all. It's really weird!!!! I dont recommend it at all.

I do recommend eyebrow threading though!!! I just checked my brows, and they're still looking nice. I wonder how long it lasts. I forgot to ask.

Okay..bbl.

btw..I just wanted to add. Fonzo already lost his 3 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I offically hate guys!!! I hate how he can just lose weight without even trying. I just wanna cry. He always laughs at himself because there are days where he needs to wear a belt, and some days where he doesnt. When he has to wear one, its a skinny day. And when he doesnt, its a fat day. WTF!! Everyday is a fat day for me. Guys suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Francie--yeah..that guy thing...my hubby used to be that way...until they hit 40, so tell him to eat it up now. I will check out your blog. The girl that waxes my eyebrows does a great job.

Sue--sounds like you have been busy but having fun. Good luck on the coat. I would like to get get a peacoat myself.

Dominic's party was nice.

Francie- Don't beat yourself up too badly. Just start doing what you know is right tomorrow. I have been there, done that so many times. LOL.

Jules- I am also wanting a pea coat..but I fear it is too late this year. Kohl's has 75% off...so I imagine they are all gone. So, I will shop for a couple track suits to wear and be comfy. Glad the party was nice...gosh time has gone by so quickly!

I have been busy making lists...packing lists for San Diego. Hard to decide what to take for a 3 week visit. But I am looking forward to being able to walk from our beach house along the beachfront. Loved it last time we were there. *fingers crossed* that it is warm. Was 70 degrees today there....7 here. UGH!

OKay..so last night, I didnt binge at all!! YAY!! I'm very proud of myself!! And I lost 1 pound, lol. Go me!! HAHA!! I'm not gonna update my ticker until I lose more. It just looks stupid with the 1. I ate a nice breakfast of apple cinnamon oatmeal, whole wheat toast, and some juice. It actually filled me up.

Sue~I'd give anything to be in San Diego right now. It's too damn cold here right now, lol.

Jules~Fonzo has always been skinny. ALWAYS!! Although, now it's kinda catching up to him. He can shed the pounds pretty quickly though. We'll see what happens when he hits 40. He's almost 30..LOL!!

Howdy!

WI sadly was 178 this morning. Hubbo said he also gained about 7ish pounds. Neither of us noticing our clothes fitting any differently, so we are going to get back on the wagon, as it were, and just keep moving.

Francie - liked the blog..good for you! I think blogs help, particularly if you know people are reading them...so I guess I should go over there and make some comment, eh? My son got Wii Fit plus for his birthday and I like that alot...I can go through about 30-40 minutes of exercises without stopping to select.

Susan - I'm sure I waved at you at some point while you were in town, lol! It was one of those psychic ones. Don't beat yourself up at about winter break...we are all in the same boat and we'll help each other through. Exercise is good...but don't you have a pretty physical job? You are probably getting alot of exercise that way.

Julie - Can't believe Dominic is 2 already - that went by fast.

Sue- a NAKED husband?! Can't have that! heehee. This weekend a friend invited me to a Pure Romance Party (yes it is what you think it is). I had to decline (thankfully). I was telling a friend about this invitation and I looked over at my hubby and said, "I don't need a party when I have a sex toy right here!" ok it was funny at the time ;)


Hi to Cristina, Sassy, Kathy, and anyone else reading this. I start classes tonight. Hopefully I can be consistent with a weekly WI post at least. If not, I do check in at FB all the time, so I'll see you over there for sure

Have a great day!

My WI was 160, gained back the 3 I lost last week. I only nibbled on peanuts and sausage, chili and corn bread.....hmmm, wine. Oops, see I sipped that, maybe that was my problem?? haha
Whatever. Here we go again.
I came home w/ an infection in my left eye so wearing my goggles (glasses) today. Feel so cluttery on my face. And I admit I had the last of the pumpkin pie and Gaby picked up those twisted cheetoes. Nibbled (gobbled, pigged out???) on that last night. Last Harrah!!! We all deserve one. hehe.
Excited to do my taxes in a few weeks!! Plan on getting a treadmill w/ some of the money.

Katy - I did drive through the village, went to Starbucks in HD though. I gazed at Noahs and was proud of myself to have passed up a bagel, they are soooo good. Parked in front of Baker&Spice and thought of you :)

Sue - Lucky Bum. I want to go to San Diego, sounds nice, especialy the beach house. I know you'll have fun.

Jules- Was it Dominic's birthday?? Ugh. Happy Belated.

Francie - yay to 1 pound!

:wave: to Cristina, Sassy, Mindee, and Kathy!!

I better get started on some cleaning and I still have to take down the tree.

I am right there with you Katy. 178...and I was all the way down to 168 in the Fall. Hard to believe. It takes me so long to shed a pound you would think I would keep it off..but noooo. I am mad at myself today.

Doing nothing in this cold weather except ironing. Did 2 loads of laundry and changed the bedclothes.

I counted calories yesterday and did well, and have started my list for today. Just trying to decide what to fix for dinner. I ate my cereal for breakfast with skim milk and a banana. I measured everything to get a visual of the size servings...I know I gradually use bigger servings. SO I will measure for awhile to get my portions back in line.

After ironing I will get the trampoline out and start that work-out. (need the room for the ironing board....lol)

Wishing everyone a good week..and Yay Francie. Keep up the good work. My only nibble last night was 10 mini rice cakes for 70 calories and I had figured them in for the day...so Yay for me too.

Just worked out for an hour on the Wii Fit. Man..I seriously felt the burn with some of those yoga moves. I cannot do yoga..I can barely stand up straight, LOL!! I'm taking a rest now..and then I'm going to do the dance game. I was supposed to do some workouts with Fonzo..but he has gone to sleep, lol. He's going to the gym tomorrow, and I kinda wanna go with him. Butttttttt then again I don't. There's too many Navy people there, and I'm the only fat a$$ in there, lol!!! I dont need to feel even more bad about myself, haha!! I'm happy with my one pound!!!!!! :p

Sue~I was going to count the calories today..but I just dont want to. It really depresses me. I'm just measuring everything out. Although..I have no idea what to make for dinner. Maybe homemade mac & cheese and chicken?? I haven't made that in awhile..and its pretty yummy. So ya, I think I'll do that.

Susan~Taxes already!??! But I just paid mineeeeeeeee. LoL!! April 15 is coming up pretty fast. I should bug Fonzo into doing them early so we can be stress free in April. We did them at the last min last year, lol.

Alright..gonna switch over to Facebook and see whats going on in there..

Francie - I am getting $$ back,I'll do my taxes ASAP. :)

weighed in today....I think I will just give my weekly weightloss to you bunch of skinny's...all your high numbers are low compared to mine....dinner tonight is raw veggies

Francie--some yoga moves are hard on my bum knee..maybe I will get my am/pm yoga dvd out????

Sue--I am trying to write things down and eat breakfast. Maybe will both get our pea coats next fall in smaller sizes!! Have fun in California!!!

Newsflash--my little muffin moo just called and told me he loves me...we have been working on that one for a while. the words are just starting to fly...

Suzyq--I wish I would have went ahead and bought that treadmill from my coworker last year. I am am going to put a elliptical on layaway at Kmart this week. I HAVE to do something to get my butt in gear.

Katy--too funny...I used to say I kept hubby around to keep all my "motors running"...he's a mechanic/machinist.

Franice--hubby's nicname was Slim...he was a string bean for years. It used to make me soo mad how fast he could shed pounds...now he's in the same boat as me.

Where are Miss Kathy, Sassy and Cristina????

:hug:

Had a good day here.....calories were where they should be. I am not hungry, and haven't felt deprived today. Yay! Went back to Fitday and figuring calories, etc.

I ironed most of the afternoon and walked 15 minutes. That's my exercise for the day. Didn't get on the trampoline yet.

Tomorrow I take mom to the Dr. New Dr., so we will see what he has to say about her blood dis-order. We plan to stop at Wal-Mart too. It is so darn cold we have not been out since NY Eve. So, we shall go wild in Wal-Mart....lol.

Susan~Money money money..money!!! Send some my way plz, lol

Jules~In HS, Fonzo weighed 120. He was a light weight in wrestling. His bones used to stick out, it was pretty gross. He didnt start gaining weight until late 2006. Some of it dropped off while he was deployed. Theres nothing but gross food on the ship. Hey..maybe we should join the Navy, get deployed and lose weight!!! We can also be sleep & sun deprived..but at least we'll be skinny. We'll be skinny, pasty, tired women..LOL!!

Sue~When in doubt...go to Walmart!!! It's open 24/7.


Here's a pic of Fonzo from during the first deployment in 2004. And one of him when he was a kid. He was always skinny. Maybe I made him fat. :(

Good morning...but what's good about it? We awoke to more SNOW. And I have to go out today to take mom to the Dr. It is 10 degrees...and I hate for mom to go out in that. But, I guess she can get in the warm car in the garage and I can drop her at the door...so she will be ok. It is ME...walking from the parking lot, brrrr. Got my boots out and I will survive. LOL.. But let me tell ya...I will complain. ha

Had the same breakfast 3 days in a row, so my calories were good again. I am switching to toast or oatmeal tomorrow. Ugh to another banana. :) I feel real good thoug. Didn't get hungry late in the night and didn't wake up hungry. I like a late breakfast, so that is good. I actually went through the kitchen today and wrote with a marker on the crackers, pretzels, etc. that I can have. I wrote how many = 100 calories. I will get some baggies and make up some 100 calorie ones...not gonna buy the high priced snacks when I have things on hand. I did however buy rice cakes and they are pretty good. I have been reading labels and working on portions...it really helps.

Off to do a walk..indoors. And then out in the snow...ugh.
Good day to you all...

Francie- I couldn't see where to leave a comment on your blog. That dance program is one I am wanting to get my grandson for his BD. He loves to dance and sing. He got Beatles Rockband for Christmas. I got him Wii Fit and now want him to Dance. He has been a big boy (at 9) but is slimming down with all the Wii stuff. And the best part...he doesn't know it is good for him. LOL

LaLaLa
Not sure where the 163 came from, was staring at me this morning from the scae, 163.4 to be exact. I must be *late eating* too much??? I passed on the cupcakes and did have a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I thought I was doing good. My bad. I guess.
I am for sure getting a treadmill,it'll be my birthday present in March. I know I will walk if I have it sitting in my living room, no more excuses once I get it.

Did anyone see Dr Oz on Joy Beher?? Not sure if he knows what he is talking about, seems odd. He did say you should stick to certain foods. Like if you want oatmeal for breakfast ,always eat oatmeal. Something like that. I do better when I eat the same things every day, being strict and not talking myself into thinking a nibble here and a nibble there won't hurt. Obviously it has! haha.
Also I need to stop eating at 5pm, just make it a rule from now on. Late night eating is my downfall.

Francie- get in line, I want $$$$$ first. lol Fonzo is just satisfied, you didn't make hime fat, marriage did.

Jules - Cute about Dominic!

Sue - Sounds like you had a great day, good for you. I love to iron, gaby wanted me to iron her socks this morning. haha

better get some errands done before work!!

:wave: to everyone

I really really hate this. My weight goes up and down every single day. I'm working my butt off, eating right and everything. I'm not losing anything. I feel like crying. The Wii Fit said it'll take awhile for my hard work to show..but really? I honestly do not feel that I'm getting a workout with that game. I do not sweat at all!!!! Shouldnt I be sweating? I did the dance game, and was dripping in sweat. Whatever..I had an awful night, and I'm having a bad day. Gonna go have myself a pitty party with no sweets or anything. Ya..I'm hella cranky now too. Eating right makes me cranky, lol.

DO NOT POST HERE!!!

Head on over to the new thread...#86 See ya there :wave:
