Happy New Year All!!!

:hug:

Happy New Year, Everyone!

I hope to get back into my Monday weigh-ins and stay up to date with you all better than I have been. The holidays were lots of fun, but my scale is screaming! I am starting food diaries again and I have a 5k run on the 9th, so it's time to run, baby,run!

I'm not "officially" weighing in until Monday, but my scale says I gained 10 pounds in the last week and a half - AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH...I should know better. But, boy, I have been having a lot of fun. I think a bunch of it is water retention, so we'll see what the next few days bring.

Today is a day to hang with friends and watch the Rose Bowl - Go Ducks!

I just know 2010 will bring great things for all of us!

Happy New Years Day everyone!! Had a nice evening with Ry and Tonya and of course my little Dominic. Can't believe he turns 2 on Monday!! Mom's treatment does seem to be improving the quality of the life she has left. It won't cure her but does ease the pain. SHe has more energy. Find out on the 11h the sex of Ry and Tonya's baby.

Katy--I haven't weighed myself...I am a little scared. I am going to do a Monday weigh in myself. I am also going to be not only food journaling but also day to day life. Going to try to find a positive in each and every day.

Sassy-Francie and everyone else--Happy New Years to you. Here's to a new year, new beginnings and a new plan whatever it may be.

Dominic and hubby are outside playing in the new snow, going to go join them!!

I'm doing a weight loss journal too. Not really just for food..but for exercise, and complaining about my struggles, lol. I haven't weighed myself yet, because our scale needs new batteries. We went grocery shopping a little while ago, and managed to save $200 by not buying crappy foods!! Yay!! Although, Fonzo & I got into a fight in the canned food aisle, lol. He wasnt being supportive at all..and I almost walked out of the store. He knew he was being a jerk too. But we managed to work things out in that aisle and move on.

We're gonna go to Game Stop right now and see if we can find a used Wii. I really regret selling our Wii awhile ago. But we needed the money badly. We went to 2 stores yesterday, and they only had the new ones. So hopefully we can find a used one. If not, then at least I get to buy the Wii fit.

Oh ya..we had a late start today, lol. Slept in until 3, lol. But we went out to eat. I had whole wheat blueberry pancakes and a fruit cup. Very yummy!! So I'm proud of myself that I ate that, lol.

Okay..fonzo is ready to leave, so gotta go.

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!!
