DH and I are planning a trip down to Vegas for this coming Feb. Now I am all excited!!
Today was a pretty good day. I got to the gym on a scheduled off day and did 30 min of cardio and an hour of yoga. One of the gyms on post offers free childcare during certian hours and that is my saving grace these days!! Then I came home and made fish, rice, and veggies for dinner! DS can be a picky eater, he prefers chicken and fish as his meats, so that makes dieting even easier.
How did everyone elses day go?
Gooooooooooooooooooooood MORNING, Military Wives!!!
How are you all doing today? How was yesterday for you?
Yesterday I made it to the gym for 35 min of cardio and 5 min of stretching.
This morning I packed a healthy lunch and I am about to have a healthy breakfast along with my 2 cups of coffee!
I hope today goes well for us all!
Well... I finally did it. I joined a local gym. It is so neat. So many different things there. I'm going to start tomorrow by doing the spin class in the early morning and then do my workout later in the day. My membership includes a personal trainer so he will get me set up with a routine tomorrow too. However hubbs isn't to crazy about it, my trainers name is Tiger. *hehe*
I haven't had the best eating habits these past few days. I had family here which is no excuse but it can make things harder sometimes. Today, I'm starting back fresh. Got my fridge and cabinets stocked so I am good to go. Hopefully now I'll be showing better progress with me starting to go to the gym and starting back to my better eating habits.
Me, had a BAAAD week this past week. I gained 6 pounds of water due to TOM. Can't be anything else cause I was a good girl. It was a bad week due to SEVERE PMS. I get the odd really bad month and this was one of them. I felt like I was losing my mind.

Congrats on joining the gym, that's really a great step forward! I'm sure your hubby will like it once he sees it is helping you stay on track.
Nice to hear you guys had a good time at your concert. I remember Mariah when she came out with her first song, quite a few yrs ago now. I remember hearing her and WOW what a voice. I liked her earlier music more than the stuff she does these days. Just my taste though - I thought her earlier stuff really showed her talent.
Apolline
Sounds like you're doing really well, keep it up!
Missy
hope you're doing well, keep in touch now and then
Well gotta go prepare supper for hub and myself. He's home today with a sore back and now a headache so you know how that is. Special treatment day!
I must be crazy. I'm catching the 5:00am Spin Class this morning. They have more classes throughout the morning but this gives me time to get back and get my oldest son off to school. I have always heard that the spin classes were fun but yet kicked your butt. Hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow.
Angie~ I like all of Mariah Carey's music but I do agree with ya on her earlier songs. She played a few of her earlier hits at the concert and I LOVED IT!!! She has such a powerful voice.
Apolline~ If you haven't been to Vegas yet, you will probably like it. There is so much to do and there is a little bit of everything here. So many shows, casinos, etc.. Very overwhelming that's for sure. I haven't been here that long but I'm still trying to get used to everything.
Missy~ I hope things are going good with you. I know your getting ready for the MP Ball. Hope you have a blast!!!
Need to finish getting ready so I'll make it to the Spin Class. Everyone have a wonderful Friday!!
It's Saturday! I like that, but I don't like this water I'm carrying, it's driving me nuts. I have to cut out a few possible salty items I think I let creep into my diet. Maybe that will help. I was seeming to 'get away' with having them up until now but.. well you know how these things creep in over time.
One thing I have been eating is the sprinkly stuff you put on popcorn, you know, the flavored stuff? It doesn't say anything about calories on the shaker but it's basically SALT and junk like salt, msg, etc. It was tasting good but it's gotta go into the trash, I guess.
Wow... it's hard to believe that it's Sunday already. This weekend is flying by I don't like making excuses but I have been trying so hard to stick with a good eating plan but these past several weeks have been so hard and crazy. Just so many things going on. I would do good for a few days and then bamm!! Well.. I am trying to break that cycle. This is day 4 for me on getting back on the saddle. I've been not only eating better but have been hitting the gym these past 3 days and will be going again today. I'm hoping that will help keep me on track. I'm not only doing workouts but will be attending some of the classes that they offer there like spinning, kickboxing, core-workout, etc.. I find myself doing so much better when I visit this website each day. Whether I post or not, reading about others here and there success stories is so motivating.
Angie~ Hang in there girl. I hate having water retention too. But don't you hate it.. that is things that taste so good is just so bad for us. *hehe* Within time, you will get rid of that extra water. I'm sure you are but make sure your also getting your regular intake of water. I know that's not what you want to hear, more water!!
Well, need to go get ready. I have a class in an hour at the gym. Everyone continue to have a great weekend.
Hey Everyone Its Sunday Blah All my days run together now and I am surprised I remembered that it was sunday. I have to run some errands and pick up some stuff that Daniel asked for in his next box. Not much going on out here in Hawaii just trying to stay busy and keep exercising. I am still waiting for my resistance bands for the total body fat blaster taebo workout to get here. I ordered them a week ago today and still nothing. I love the workout though so I hope they get here soon I am ready for it to be more challenging. How is everyone else doing?
ssgtwife~Wow a spin class at 5, I get up at 4:30 because thats when my kids wake but I wouldn't be ready for a spin class then.
Hope everyone has a great week. I am always reading the posts I just don't have much to add HAHA so I don't post often

Just thought I'd drop in and see how everyone is doing. I am very proud of myself. I got up this morning and hit the gym at 5:00am. I didn't do a class but I got me a good workout in. My kids don't wake up until 7-7:30ish so since I'm a morning person, I've been getting up and hitting the gym. My hubbs is at the house with the kids so it makes it a perfect opportunity to concentrate on myself.
Ok -brief update, nothing to update as far as weight, I'm going to step on the scale tomorrow morning. This past week was WAY bad as far as eating, no working out, stressed out big time, AND TOM on top of it!! I'm sure I've prob gained a few lbs, but we're getting back on the wagon tonight and working out Glad to see everyone is doing so well!!
Before I run off to work, figured I'd say good luck this morning!!!! I was suprised on the scale this morning to find I'd only gained a lb since last sunday - THRILLED let me tell you!! On a whole new slew of vitamins and water too so - didn't work out last night booo for my lack of motivation!! Having a "Pure Romance" party tonight so no chance to work out then either, boo for no time!!
Well... I got my workout in for the morning. *YEAH FOR ME* I have been doing so good. Eating & Exercise that is. My goal is to hit the gym each and every morning. I won't be weighing myself until the end of the month. I'm sure I'll see some kind of good result by then.
I hope everyone is doing good. It's been quiet here. I can't say too much because I was once MIA. I hit the gym this morning and got me a good solid workout plus attended a Pilates class for the first time. I'm trying several of the classes to see what works best for me. I have learned that there jump rope class doesn't work for me.
I haven't been here much lately.. but I'm still doing okay, eating as I'm supposed to.
My weight went up 7 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I got these new water pills from the doc and they did not work for me, so now I have some other ones and they are working better. I've always had a tendency to hold water. Anyway, good news.. in 2 days since he's given me the other pills, I've lost 6 of the 7.. so I'm almost back to where i was before all of the water.

In the times I find I mentally struggle, I try to stick with something easy to make to eat. I cook chicken and have a chicken sandwich or something like that. Stress times are so hard. Especially PMS stress. UGH . 2 weeks ago I thought I was losing my mind. Just never give up. Rough spots will come and go. They will pass.

You go! It's really hard to get up early in teh morning to work out. So, good for you! If you have a day where you want to do something, but don't feel like a gym, you could walk outside. I love walking outside these days. Pilates.. ouch that looks like it would be difficult... let us know how it went.
Hope you are all doing well.. I know we all have struggles that come and go. We can all get through it though.
Thanks for all the encouragement ladies!! ssgtswife, sounds like you are doing great at the gym!! I went to the gym the other night and did a "cardio blast" that I saw in my shape magazine, then hubby & I worked on abs, needless to say I'm still sore...didn't work out last night because it was hubs birthday - went to red lobster but I was good!! And when we went to coldstone for our free birthday ice creams, we got the sinless sweet cream, made with splenda, fat free I am doing TONS, and I'm not kidding, TONS of laundry today, and will manage to sneak in a long walk with my puppy for expercise - might hit the gym later if hubby feels up to it. Keep up the good work ladies, I promise to start posting more!!
