And happy equinox to thee Eydie and Anagramatic and Arabella and Wildfire and Ceara and Dollar and whatever other :queen: s have posted on this thread!!!! I'm back from a grueling day covering a fiesta and posting early also and shutting down the computer as I'm TIRED! Did ok, not the most nutritious of days and there WAS that caramel frappacino, but it was quite hot and I'm still not feeling well and walked all day and had left my cooler of food in the office, sooooo when they delayed one event I wanted to shoot, I absolutely had to have the drink to keep going ... except coffee is dehydrating so I'd have been better off finding something else, except there wasn't anything ... so ... the following is a partial list. I may have something else later but won't post it ... I'm thinking the frappacino is higher than I've put it but that's what's in the calorie book, sooooo ... exercise was walking around all day, although sometimes I sat down ... but I at least got enough in to reach my 390 minutes for the week and I'm starting a new three-week initiative tomorrow after I weigh in and see where I am.

Good mornin' all...went to a late St.Patty's day do last night...had 2 Harps and some really good food...I mean healthy...and good conversation. And slept like a rock. It was relaxing to socialize with people who do not connect into my life in any other way than just as neighbours..... T'day is HRM's weigh-in! Well? I need to know...does thinking about exercise count? .............Thought not. I've been on a seefood and drink whatever diet....not a lot, just not good choices or times....today is a new day! Gotta go! Have a :cb: I did! :cb: Happy first day of spring! Ceara |
Yo, yo, yo and yo!!!! :balloons: The weight o' the amazing and fantastic Empress Amarantha hath NOT changed in a seven-day!!! :yes: She be smilin' about that with her Irish eyes, Queens, as this meaneth that she did NOT go back into the 150s!!! Huzzah!!! No applause, please. Just send flowers!!! :flow1:
But seriously folkes and folkettes, my new Ultima Initiative (aka personal challenge) begins today. Weight loss goal is 146. The initiative focuses on health, weight and fitness but includes a list of subgoals that will bring life into balance so's I CAN focus on health, weight and fitness. I will complete the Ultima Initiative in two phases, evaluating and mayhap setting new parameters when I reach Phase II. I will continue to report here everyday unless work or illness force me to skip a day or so or if the computer dies or all my compadres on this thread decide to give it up and if they do, I shall send the Fierce Fitness Compliance Crone (FFCC) after them!!! :rollpin: :fr: :yikes: Likewise if Amarantha tries to give up or give in or makes a bunch of stupid excuses, the FFCC will come after her as well and chase her back to Ultima Land (where the sky be always blueth with fleecy white clouds and the grass smelleth sweet and the wind bloweth cooly through sylvan pastures and balanced blood sugar and sensible weight maintenance/loss be the rule o' the day for the fabulously fit population)!!!!! Ok, my personal Ultima Initiative containeth the following directives to Amarantha (aka ORDERS :drill: ) ... Exercise 400 minutes per week, eat a weekly average of no more than 1800 calories (thus allowing for CHEATING :cp: on some days :cp: )!!! Subgoals (which are NOT mandatory, just a good idea) are to continue to strive for the healthy balanced carb/protein mini meal lifestyle, continue to meet all my life committments and unexpected challenges and not use them as a reason to gain weight and do beadwork every day! :yes: That is all, over and out! I'll be back with my food/exercise report anon! |
Sunday: Ok on calories but balanced nutrition and exercise lagging. The FFCC be lurking outside the door urging me to sleep so's I can be at gym early tomorrow! :wave:

Hello,
Just as promised on the other thread I am here to assert that I will eat well, journal, exercise and meet my goal of 140 by the summer solstice. 13 weeks. 13 pounds. Easy math. So far I am off to a good start today. Tofu scramble with brown rice and broccoli and some tahini toast. And coffee of course. I will be back later for the lunch report. |

Likewise thanks as always to :queen: Anagramatic for that Sunday report ... looks as though thou didst well, Anagram!!!! Huzzah!!!! I'm doing an early exercise report because before I forget ... did one hour towards my 400 weekly minutes: 20 walk/run on treadmill, 40 weights, total body with core focus!

All other regular and semi-regular food/exercise thread journalisimos? Let's go, our wonderful goals await and it's almost summer!!! We need to stick to our gunneths, post our efforts and inspire each other ... (P.S., that last message is from the phantom FFCC aka Fierce Fitness Compliance Crone, not Amarantha, who'd really rather eat dulce de leche sundaes and read magazines all day rather than work out!) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: |

OKEY DOKEY!
It's supposed to rain for the next 3 days so I played ball with the heathens early...before the ground unfroze and became soggy, and I have cut some fresh kitty willows....they look so fuzzy... Still have only a glimmer in mine eye re: exercise. Motivation where be thou? Thee? Canna make up me mind. We had a water event here last Tuesday...one of the pipes in the upper bathroom sprang a little pinhole and DH had to clear out the vanity, so while it is cleared we are painting it so I must be off! That will be some movement. Hopefully I can curb my eating everything in sight behavior today. Ceara |
Hiho,
Last night: a homemade fajita with a minimum amount of bad stuff in it this morning: raisin bran and of course coffee |
Ok, dokey, we've got :queen: s Ceara and Zadie back in the Kitchen Parlor o' Divine Food 'n Fitness!!!! Yowza!!! Yur looking good C n' Z ... methinks playing with the canines counts as exercise (unless it be my Old Dog, when it really is veeeery sedate)!!!! Had to go work in newsroom this a.m. and succumbed to a few bad food choices but just went shopping and it's looking good for evening. Will have to exercise tonight as I need to take a nap and eat a meal first!!!!! I'll be back (Arnold voice) with me little reportie!!!! Avast!
