Dinner last night was great. It was healthy too! I'm exhausted today. I finished all my school work and can't wait to hand everything in and finish tomorrow! What a relief it will be. I think I'm gonna hit the sack!

Bellydance by Dolphina - it's a book, but she also has videos.

Husband and I bought bicycles today, Ooh am I sore!!! I think I need a bigger seat (on the bike that is, my seat is more than big enough).

I did OK today, with the exception of the piece of cake I managed to go to the gym, even with my mom calling and saying "where are you? We are only here for the week...." I love them dearly, but I will be glad when they go home and I don't have to deal with the guilt trips!

Already have lunch for tommorrow along with my snacks packed.

Later

Well I still can't seem to get control of my food but I did manage to get 9 points for exercise today.
My daughter has a paper round which I do for her on a Wed.Usually it takes about an hour of walking to get all the pamphlets delivered but today when I was about 1/3 of the way thru the wheel on her trllley bag broke and I ended up delivering all the rest of them by hand.I had to deliver 700 pamphlets and keep walking backwards and forwards to my car. It took me 2 1/2 hours to do it in the end.
That was solid walking carrying weight in my arms, boy oh boy am I tired.

Happy Hump Day!

Well, I sucked it up and threw my fear away and added in a 10 minute run section into my walk this morning. I ran VERY slow, but it was running. We'll see if the ankle swells now. I have my favorite sping class later this morning for my second hour of exercise. I was able to continue day 2 of no bingeing with success . Yesterday was a lot easier than Monday, so hopefully today will be just a bit easier too!

I have my last lessons tonight!!! I am so excited about my break. The recital is piece of cake for me. I pretty much know everyone will be ok, so nothing to stress over there. The hardest part will be to bypass the cookies at the reception.

chaarli-Way to go on the exercising!!!! Hope you're not to sore today. Its cool that you normally do that with your daughter.

kat-hang in there! Try to just let the guilt trip fall right off of you. You know what is healthy for you both physical and mental, and it sounds like you're doing good at sticking with it during this stressfull time.

kaplods-Have fun on those rides. Your butt does get a little used to things, but one of the squishy gel seats helps.

Angela-Wohoooooo!!!!!!!!

Wendy-How was the park? I'm glad someone is getting sunny weather.

Niki-Duck walking kicks some serious a**. (literally cuz I always hurt there afterwards!) Hope the aches subside today.

La3y-Good luck staying healthy during TOM. Hope your cravings arent insurmountable.

Well, I'm off to explore. Have a great one.

Brandy I am doing ok but My son has gave me his cold....this is the first cold I have had in awile so it may get bad.....

I did get my 2 points on exercising.....wooooohooo!!!! Its about time. I would do better if I could get that dang puzzle done..and House was on last night I love that show....Never get a puzzle that has to do with CSI I tell you they say its got 750 p. and It look like 1000...It is driving me crazy.....lol I did not have far to go to get there....lol

Have a good day all! I am going to try to!!!......lol

Today I'm going to apply for a job at McDonald's (oy). I have no doubts that I'll get the job, considering the high turnover rate there. What I'm wondering, though, is whether or not I'll be able to keep up with my fitness goals once I start working. McDonald's is such a draining environment, since you're on the move ALL day. I remember last year, I would work up a sweat within a couple of hours and had almost NO energy by the time the day was done. I dunno, it concerns me that I won't be able to keep up with what I've been doing.

Where is the best place to fine the workout dvd? I would like to get it...

Well I thought this week would be a real challenge because of my TOM, but thank goodness it hasn't been. I had a tough time Sunday and wanted chocolate so bad....but I'm past it and don't miss it now. YAY!

Morning all! I didn't post yesterday because I was soooooo depressed about my weight. OK, not really I was just really surprised when I weighed myself Monday(after so many points last week) that not only had I lost nothing, I had actually gained .25!!! I know it gets harder to lose once you have under 10 pounds to go, but I had added a lot of walking to my routine last week! I'll see what the weight looks like this evening at the gym.

For so long "they" said-"Don't weigh yourself every day, you'll just get discouraged with hormonal fluctuation and water weight" and now I read that successful dieters weigh themselves every day! I've compromised with weighing myself when I go to the gym(3-4 times a week) No scale at home. What about you gals?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!

PS: A friend brought me some chocolates from Paris. I am allowing myself one per day. If I eat more than one, they go in the trash. They are amazing...

Morning all! I'm feeling the aches subside a bit from my fall. I have not been able to go out and see how my horse is feeling, since my car is not really drivable...

Nikki - Yes there was between $3500 and $5000 damage to the car, still have to call insurance, but got two estimates done yesterday.

miasmom - french chocolate - yum! And don't sweat the weight gain, you are doing awewome with your points! Besides .25 of a pound isn't too bad!!

Brandy - congrats on the running!! and on your classes being done, it must be kind of fun to watch all your students flaunt their progress. Good luck avoiding the cookies!

Well, I'm off to call insurance! Have a good day!

chocolates from Paris I would have to toss them

HI! Guess I better get on the wagon and get those points up! I feel like I'm slacking off, and maintaining my weight but I really want to get these last few pounds off!I still FEEL fat, have to tone up alot yet.
Well RJ and I have to find something interesting to do with our afternoon, maybe go out to the park and fly his kite, that's if we can get it up!
Have a great day ladies!!

You will burn most calories working at McDonalds then you ever will exercising. I used to work in fast food and I believe now that was the only thing keep me under 200 pounds. I worked there for two years and ate tons and tons of fast food. Once I quit I stopped eating fast food and eating healthier (still not that great) and I gained tons of weight. What I would do to work in fast food again just for the exercise! Unforuntally they don't pay what I make doing web designs, haha.

HEY EVERYBODY!! i'VE GOT SOME NEW MOTIVATION. I'M FLYING TO LOS ANGELES ON JUNE 2ND FOR THE WEEKEND. MY FRIEDN IS HAVING A HUGE GRAD PARTY AND I'M GONNA GET TO GO. YIPPEEE! I HAVEN'T SEEN MY FRIENDS SINCE SEPT. OF 2005. SO I WANNA DROP A COUPLE OF POUNDS BEFORE I GO. WOOHOO! I LOVE MOTIVATION!!!! SO FAR TODAY HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD. NOW I JUST HAVE TO GO HOME AND GET MY LAZY BUTT TO WORK OUT!!!

WENDY-LETS GO WENDY, LET'S GO!!!! I'M WITH YOU TO ON GETTING BACK ON THE WAGON. WHY DON'T YOU RUN AROUND CRAZY TO GET THAT KITE UP!

MIASMOM-I THINK WEIGHING YOURSELF EVERY DAY IS KIND OF LOCO (NO OFFENSE) ALTHOUGH I ADMIT I AM GUILTY OF IT SOMETIMES. I THINK YOU GET MORE ACCURATE RESULTS FROM WEIGHIN IN WEEKLY OR BETTER YET MONTHLY. I'D RATHER SEE A LOT COME OFF WEEKLY THAN ONE POUND DAILY (IF I'M LUCKY)

LADY TYGER-I HOPE YOUR HORSE IS OK. GOOD LUCK WITH THE INSURANCE CO.

HYPNOTIQ-DOUBLE YAY FOR YOU. BY THE WAY, DOES YOUR NAME HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DRINK ?

BRANDY-WOOHOO FOR YOU ON THE RUNNING. MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT RUN EVERY DAY SINCE YOUR ANKLE ISN'T USED TO IT. LET IT REST AND THEN START AGAIN. UH OH! COOKIES? STAY STRONG!!

CHAARLI-AWESOME ON EXCERCISE POINTS. YOU GO GIRL!

KATALLAN-ONE PIECE OF CAKE NEVER HURT ANYBODY HOPE TODAY WAS GOOD FOR YOU

KAPLODS-BYCICLES? HOW FUN!! GET THAT BIGGER SEAT RIGHT AWAY THAT WAY YOU DON'T ASSOCIATE BIKE RIDING WITH PAIN. THAT WAY IT'LL BE EASIER TO STICK TO!!!

LYDIA-MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH WORKING THERE WOULDN'T BE IF I HAD ENERGY TO CONTINUE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING. MINE WOULD BE NOT EATING ALL THAT CRAP FOOD. WHEN I WORKED THERE, I USED TO EAT THERE ALMOST EVERYDAY-LUNCH AND BREAKFAST. I NEVER REALIZED HOW BAD THE FOOD WAS FOR ME (WELL NOW i'M PAYING FOR IT). MAYBE YOU COULD TRY GETTING YOUR WORKOUTS IN BEFORE YOU GO TO WORK.

LDY UNICORN-GOOD JOB ON UR EXCERCISE POINTS. I'M LAGGING BEHIND YOU....BUT NOT FOR LONG!! TRY TO FIGHT OFF THAT COLD!!!

aNGELA-GOOD JOB ON EATING HEALTHY. YOU MUST BE SO HAPPY THAT SCHOOL IS OVER. ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF!

hOPE EVERYONE'S DAY IS GOING GREAT SO FAR!!!
