Morning!
Last night I was thinking how wonderful it would be for my GF to come for another visit. She came last year at this time. Then I got to thinking....I'm at the same @%*#& WEIGHT as I was last year when she visited. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!! That really hit home.....all the excercise, food, nutrition, challenges, and I'm exactly the same weight. What would it have been if I wasn't really watching what I was doing? I don't think of it as a whole year was wasted, but that I haven't had any visible improvement other than an improvement in my good HDL levels (re cholesterol) Its the whole up 3 lbs, down 2 lbs, up 5 lbs, down 4 lbs or motivation gung ho for 3 months and then off for a month or two . As I said last night, today is another day......so this morning I got up early and went for a FANTASTIC walk/run. I just need to do more. I also got a reminder notice about the 5K race (that dh and I did last year) and am thinking of participating again, race isn't until April though. There is no way I'm going to stay the same for a whole other YEAR!!! I am losing this last 20-25 lbs!!!!!

Tomorrow i am going on my hike at the state park with my, my-space friend.. i'm gettin off work at lunchtime .. YEAH!!!! and we are gonna have a pik-a-nik after we walk.. Ive been busy this evening i made coleslaw (with splenda), a brocoli salad ... oo that is the bomb!
u use the package of brocoli flowerettes, crumpled up bacon, mayo splenda a bit of vinegar and grated cheddar cheese and mix it all up...
i made a fruit salad with a dressing of honey and 2 tbs frozen limeade ... and steamed shrimp was on sale for 4.99 a pound.. so we have steamed shrimp also.......... yummmmm and the best part its all healthy!
the state park where we are hiking has a 3 miles trail.. that ends at this really big cliffs and u can dig for sharks teeth and fossils!!! way cool! The weather man says 90% chance of rain... Bill said we are gonna go either way and have our walk & pik-a-nik
oh and i just noticed that i only need 760 more points for my presidents gold medal!! cool
Boy am I sore!! That workout yesterday was a killer. Good news though, I feel as though I found every teeny tiny muscle ever worked!!
Valerie....Hope you're feeling better today!! I wouldn't push the excercise until you feel up to it though. Think of it as a well deserved day of rest!
Curly.....ohhh, your pic nik sounds soooo yummy!!! Good luck with the hike. Work his buns off, will ya? hehe....I can just picture you dragging him all over that mountain!! That last hike almost killed him.
Today is a new day and although the scale shows up +1 lb I know not to freak out as TOM is ready to hit bigtime. Just in time I might add when we are off on holidays!!...blech. We are leaving Sunday and won't be back until Friday 13th....how ominous is that? Dh and I are bringing our workout clothes and bathingsuits for the hot tub!! Although, we tried that another trip and when we went to the hot tub....they had it filled in with fake plants!! haha....huh? I guess the hot tub wasn't a big hit. We are going to Branson MO, so home to the thousands of dinner shows, reviews, and the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede....YEEHAWW!!! The boys are interested in the wax museum, Ripleys believe it or not and the Six flags amusement park (cept its not called 6 flags...but I can't think of it right now??)
Have a great day!!
