It is a bee-yoo-ti-ful day here...sunny and it's actually going to be warm...
don't laugh, Southerners! Gonna be up in the mid 40s for the next couple of days! Woo! Heat Wave!
Hopefully we'll see the last of all the snow that we got...was it only two weeks ago? Seems like it's been here forever.
Andria...Great news on finally seeing that scale move in the right direction!
You were doing all the right things, it was only a matter of time before the scale reflected that. A very good example of how NOT to get discouraged by the numbers on the scale and chuck the whole diet in frustration. Perseverence...it paid off for you. A great reminder to us all. Gotta hang in there and just keep doing what we know will work. EVERYDAY. I think it was
Tricia who pointed out how she's changing her lifestyle and attitude towards food. Good point. Food is not the enemy! It's what we do with it, the choices we make. We can choose to eat well and nutritiously, or we can use food like a drug. I'm going to choose wisely this time around.
Dh and I went to the gym yesterday to sign our son up. He's been wanting to join, had to wait til he's 14 to become a member. While we were meeting with the sales rep, he asked us if
we were utilizing our memberships. Judging by the size of both of us, I think he knew the answer to that question! I replied that I have been using mine more these past few weeks and then looked rather pointedly at dh, who hasn't been there in quite some time! The counselor suggested that we make appointments to meet with a trainer and get a new program set up for us. I'm game. Whatever will get him back to exercising is okay with me! Since he was diagnosed with diabetes and keeping track of his blood sugars, it's amazing to see the difference in them when he gets some exercise. He's all pumped to go now that my son will be going. (what am I? chopped liver?
) That's okay. Whatever it takes to get him there. Which we did, last night after ds's basketball game. We all hit the pool around 8:30 last night. Nice time to go, not too many others there. I managed 20 laps. Not all at once, mind you, but I'd do some squats or lunges and then like 6 laps, some arm exercises and 6 more. It was a good over all workout. And fun having the boys there with me!
Final push for the 2 week challenge this weekend! Super Bowl weekend too! I have no plans other than going to Mom and Dads, not to watch the game, but to get some pictures together for our photo montage for the party. I picked up the music list from the dj yesterday too, so they can pick out all their favorite tunes. I'm working this weekend, so I won't see much of the game anyway.
So, I guess that's it for now. I'll try to check back in later. I'd like to get outside today, maybe the dog will get a walk out of me! She'd love that.
Have a great day all!
I'll try to get back again after some rest.
