Day5!
Doing well so far. I managed a walk on Friday lunchtime then Saturday we went to a wedding so I made sure I did my 20 minutes celidh dancing with the brides brothers - my fiancee doesn't do dancing! Yesterday we stopped off for a walk for 10 minutes on the way back and in the evening I got up and did 10 minutes of exercising round the house. So that makes it 4 days down and 17 to go!
Also I'm starting a new 'diet' today, I've been slacking a little with my ususal plan so figure that a new programme will give me a little inspiration and chance to have a go at something new - wish me luck!! |
Alright! Another day under the belt and on the wagon! Did not walk the road yesterday, but am counting as if I did....did a fair amount of walking at the pancake breakfast and we toured 14 gardens yesterday....very interesting stuff...inspires and overwhelms. A lot of work.
Good work on the streak Clutha. I'm finding that even if you "mess" up one day, that doesn't have to destroy the whole effort. I just try to pick up where I left off before the "event" and carry on. Good luck with the new food programme. Arabella, I ate some heavenly hash ice-cream the other night...Friday I think, and thought of you...it was Parlor. Does that mean anything? It was OK, but wouldn't throw me into a tailspin like carrot cake. :lol: Well, I've gotta be short this am...the girls need to get out and I need to actually walk the road... Hi wsw....you sound rather busy. Social butterfly. :wave: to all the :queen:s and welcome to all the new royalty! :drill: :tread: |
Forgot the tally and a few answers.
Tally: 1. water ******* ******* 2. Road walk ***** ***** * 3. No food after 7 pm. ******* ******* 4. 2 glasses of wine/week. -1-/ -1- 5. multivitamin ******* ******* * Have walked the road(!) and logged it, also the vitamin. Cannot believe that I am 2/3's of the way there...wsw, you are just mere days away! Arabella....I felt a definite decrease in appetite right away...I only drink 1 mug of hot water with 1 T of sugar...usually at night. I have managed to sneak it in at work about 3 pm...it looks like I'm drinking hot water but I don't care. The scale is wandering down...about a pound every few days...which is nice. My friend is doing eloo because she is diabetic and as far as I know is doing well....she'd dropped about 4 lbs before the week end...I haven't talked to her yet...they were away. Am off to make a bean/chick pea medley thing that I put over brown rice for fast suppers....Hpnotq, that scale habit is hard to break...I just gave up. I find that for me it is better to just give into it and weigh myself...instant gratification. You're doin' great! Katrinabgood, nearly 6 pounds is awesome...WTG! :cp: Gotta get off line..... |
Fly-by -- I'm wiped! :tired: Woke up at 4 and have been working pretty much solidly since then. WI has me still up 1.6 but I'm not changing ticker. Nope -- it'll be gone again sooon. 6/2/1
Thanks for the input, Ceara. I'm looking at the sethroberts.net site and some of the testimonials for fish oil. Definitely going to try that -- sounds like it's MAGIC!!! :wizard: Hmmm... my (skinny) son looooves carrot cake WITH heavenly hash ice cream. :rolleyes: The Ben and Jerry's I had was definitely superior stuff! But no more of that :nono: K, just getting through the end of the workday here and have to take my darn fun break :lol: Talk more (lucky you!) later. |
I couldn't resist it...I got on the scale this afternoon. :(
|
Hpnotq...And...what did it say? How about just getting on once every 3 days? We're loosey goosey with our goals...change 'em! Your exercise ticker is really moving along! We're not even halfway through July.....
Oh...carrot cake and ice cream? Whoa...sugar overload for me. The ice cream was enough for a while. Anyway, on supper break...pork chop and brussle sprouts...mmmmnnnn. I love those BS's. :lol: They are better with butter and lemon and parmesan cheese...but I'm havin' 'em nekkid. Then lots of water....that I haven't even started yet today! Swim city, here I come....glub! |
day 19 was successful! felt a little "iffy" earlier in the day, but finished up on target. sometimes, like today, i just have to white-knuckle it, but whatever works. :)

Supposed to be weather of the drippy kind today...we'll see. We didn't get the last drips on Sunday night.....Yesterday was good. Am off in a short bit to walk again.
Tally: 1. water ******* ******* * 2. Road walk ***** ***** * 3. No food after 7 pm. ******* ******* * 4. 2 glasses of wine/week. -1-/ -1- 5. multivitamin ******* ******* * DS had a tent-over party and bonfire last night...the kids (older teens - early 20's) are ones he works with at the Fort...he does historic reinactments in the summer for the tourists....quite the uniform. So I have a gypsy camp over on one side of the property...and the dogs are discomboobulated. They are right off their normal schedule. Anyway....gotta :tread:! :wave: |
Good morning!
I'm declaring 7/2/1, despite breaking one of my rules last night. I ate my dinner on the couch, although I was alone. AND I'm changing my rule to include one discretionary "free pass" per seven days.
Funny kind of a day at work yesterday. I started v. early (5ish) and was full steam ahead all day, other than going out to the gym and having breakfast and lunch. Wrote some things that I was happy with and juggled a lot of balls. By 4:30 (when I was here last) I was, as reported, heading out of the office. Howe'er, before I even hit "submit" on my last note, the site director pinged me with an emergency task. That had to be done last night and meant sheer drudgery until almost 11. Ugh. However, within just a few minutes after that another editor (who is NOT known for her thoughtfulness or compliments) pinged me to say how much her husband had appreciated our Word of the Day yesterday (which I had written -- patting self on back, here) and we also got a very nice note from a reader in Stockholm about it. Soooo... I feel like the two sides to my job were both highlighted -- the marketing-oriented drudgery part and the public service informational make-a-difference side. And since I haven't been feeling that latter side much lately, I feel better. Despite having been slogging through the swamp all evening, way past my bedtime and not even thinking to check on that full moon. Today I responded to the reader's note and am going to take it eeeeaaasy. This afternoon, I'm going to take DS and DGS to the beach. It'll be my first time this year. Ceara, my niece does a historical reenactment thing, too. Strolling around town in hoopskirt and petticoats -- whew! Thank heavens for fans and parasols! K, Chickitas -- must run. Or woggle, as the case may be. Going to do a little trot through the woods and come back for yoga and meditation. Let's make this a good one! |
Well actually ceara...it looked better than the last time I hopped on it. Last time I looked I was up 4 lbs from my previous weigh in...it's only 2 now....and that was at night after a long day. I normally weigh in the morning...and while I was writing this it reminded me to go check since it's morning and I haven't eaten. This time it shows me the same as my last weigh in. So I guess it's not so bad after all. My official weigh in day is Friday, so I'll share the official word then. As for me challenge, I'm back to square one. I'll be back later when I think of rules I can stick with.

Day 6 now and doing really, really well. Managed another 20 minute run on the treadmill followed by 10 minutes on the bike. I've already done 30 minutes walking today and am going to the gym for a spin class. This 21 day challenge has really got me going and I'm really enjoying it!

hey all...
Just checking in from day...can it be....8??? Feelin' pretty darn good about that, I gotta tell ya!
It's so much easier to eat well in the summertime...I just got back from the farm market with some corn on the cob, tomatoes and peaches. :T I made a great blueberry cobbler not too long ago, all healthy-like, using Splenda and oatmeal among other things. I think I'll try it this time with the peaches. I'll share the recipe if anyone's interested. I had a great water workout in today. My nephew and I (he's conditioning for football) jog around the perimeter of the pool as many times as it takes to get a good whirlpool going, then we reverse and run against the current till we get the water going that way. Did this I don't know how many times, but it was for at least a half hour. Great workout. Then we play volleyball with the heaviest, soggiest foam ball. Like playing with a medicine ball. Got both upper and lower body done over there! And it was fun! I've been suffering with an ear infection for the past week. Probably swimmer's ear, but it's so annoying...like having one of your stereo speakers on the blink. I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow, hopefully she'll give me something good for it. Actually, I'm going to have my cholesterol re-checked. About 6 weeks ago, I had bloodwork done, cholesterol was a whopping 235. :yikes: She wanted to put me on Lipitor then and there, but I begged for a month to try and get my nutritional/dietary sh*t together. Said bye bye to red meat :wave: and bacon and butter and haven't looked back. I'm actually down 10lbs since then, (only 5.6 since starting WW) but I am anxious to see if there has been a significant change in my numbers. :crossed: Not much else to report around here, just plugging along. I'm working for the next three nights, then off for three. Will start getting things together for our beach house vacation coming up July 29...two weeks down the shore. ahhhh. can't wait. Off to throw some dinner together, my corn on the cob is already boiling! Chicken on the grill and a salad and corn...did I mention I love summer? Have a great night all! |
a quick post to say hello to all who dwell in the royal court. on day 20. another not-so-easy day for staying op, but came through it on target, so it counts. well, take care, all.

Hello all....
Where does the time go?? Woods Nymph! I love words of the day....PLEASE consider sharing w/ us... To all.... sorry to be so brief but I do send my very, very best! ************* Thought of the day : "If there was nothing wrong in the world, there wouldn't be anything for us to do." George Bernard Shaw Question of the day : "Can you whistle ********* :hug: |
Observation....
When I got to work tonight, er...last night...whatever...I realized that I'll need to be fasting for my bloodwork today. (I usually grab something to eat around 3 or 4am.) Figured this will be a good time to test out the ShangriLa sugar water theory. I had a cup of hot water with two packets of sugar in it around 11:30, and I must say that it's 6:11am and I am TRULY, amazingly, not hungry! Huh. Go figure.
I hope this lasts for a bit longer, I'm not due at the doc's til 8:45. I think that I'm going to continue with the sugar/water thing about an hour or two after a meal. Will keep you posted on results! Speaking of results, tomorrow is weigh-in. I'm feeling a mighty surge of PMS coming on, hope this doesn't hinder a nice little loss. Going to to some extra something, anything, exercise-wise to try and counteract the evil PMS bloat! See y'all later! Have a great day! |
