Day two of my keep on moving goal, I got up early yesterday morning and did some Yoga!  It felt good to stretch this old curvy body! (yeah, curvy! ) I got up and did Yoga, worked with my dumbbell's, and jumped rope!  After work I ended up at the gym my husband Michael hangs out at, with Adam and Amanda and we played table tennis for a while!  It was fun and I got even more exercise in! For the day I ate pretty healthy, oatmeal and coffee started my day.  I...

Green Salad that is! Or as some say, Tossed Salad.   I usually like mine with some type of meat, Chicken basically.  Unfortunately I forgot the meats at home today!  I gave the greens a liberal coating of fat free dressing, and made like a sheep in the meadow! (no way am I going to say Cow!)  Not too bad, rather enjoyable! I've begun the steps I usually take towards continuing my weight loss plan.  I bought all the healthy stuff. Fruits such as grapes, apples,...

You would think that after my year, last year of success in losing some of the fat, and learning to eat right and all those good things, that I would never make a mistake such as the one I did yesterday! As you who read my blogs know, I didn't give up my weight loss plan, but I did give it a rest during the holidays (what else is new right?!) but being the realist I am, that was the thing to do!   In comes the first day at work.  Packing lunch was so much fun because I...

I'm still on the fitness journey, I have not quit!  Believe me, that in itself is a great thing!  Had I been on my own, I seriously would have given it a rest by now!  The frustrations that happens when I've had a bad day, or I over indulge and feel guilty, or I am emotional, or I just get tired of eating and having to decide what to eat, or wear, it is enough to call it quits!   I'm glad however, that I am with Weight Watchers, and I'm glad that I'm able to share my...

Last week at my WW meeting I lost 2.4 lbs!  This week, I've last 2.6lbS!!! Wow!  My hard work and dedication is paying off in results that I never thought would happen!   That is 17.2lbs since January!  Whoo hooo!

 

The journey does get really difficult sometimes!  I have moments of displeasure and self-dislike that might be the pendulum of my blood sugar!   However, I always pick myself up out of that quagmire of self-doubt and get my bum moving once more!  Usually after a workout the highs are just so fantastic because I feel so very good about myself!

 

I love myself, don't get me wrong, I consider myself to be pretty level-headed but I didn't realise that there was so much crap placed in my subconsious that gives me that self-defeatist attitude at times.   Much like any little girl would do, I found myself comparing myself to others, especially to what our society's definition of beauty is.

I'm not!  I'm not worried at all...now that I've thought about the reasons why I could have gained one pound!  For the last month I've kind of been in a funk...I'm still working out, I'm still gung ho and being active with my goals in mind, so I've not given up on me!  But I just can't seem to get past the stage I'm currently at!  It's a happy stage...I've lost a lot more that I thought I could in the last five months....I'm getting stronger, more toned, wearing clothes I've...

Weight Watchers Meeting

I haven't lost any weight lost week, so says the scale at my Weight Watchers meeting!  I wondered if that was correct, because my scale at home says I lost another 3lbs!  Then again, my scale is a regular analog one and theirs is a digital! Maybe I should get me a digital scale and get with the Century!

The good thing is I didn't gain any and that's better news for me!  I'm still busy, cycling, doing exercise dvd and walking! So I'm keeping active and that's always good for my body!

4.2lbs lost this week!  I didn't quite hit the 20lbs I had set for myself by my birthday, but boy did I get within range!  16.8lbs total weight loss since I began my fitness goal on January 7th!  9 on my own and the rest since joining Weight Watchers!

I've become more dedicated and am going steadily on that road to wellness! 

I haven't written about my body in progress in a while but I'm still at it!  So I joined Weight Watchers, I attended my third meeting last week, so that's my 2nd week on the program.  I didn't lose anything, haven't lost any weight on the scale at all at my second weigh in! I has my monthly cycle the first meeting I attended after joining and gained 2ounces!  Which I know was water and I told them and that didn't count, yeah!

There was a meeting tonight in a location that was very close to me, on my way from work and I found myself there! It was really interesting!  First of all, I signed up, got a mini-intro and then I weighed in.  I am no longer five pounds heavier! Imagine my shock!  You see, the blog I recently posted about being five pounds heavier was one that I wanted to write a couple of days (possibly a week ago) but I had problems with logging on to JU 2 and even posting, hence I ran a wee...

  Five pounds....I looked at the scale again in shock...what the heck?!  I gained five pounds?!  But last week when I went on the scale, (at the beginning of the week) I had dropped another 3 pounds so that was 10 pounds total since I began on January 7. But last week, after my workout, the next day I was limping, quite painfully.  I had somehow developed a nasty pain/cramp that hurt as I walked, impact on the ground as I walk was excruciating! I didn't want to go to...

It hasn't been a bad week. In fact the week didn't begin to good for me where exercise is concerned. I was feeling really cruddy on Monday. Between my allergies (which seems to have begun early this season) and my body, there seemed to have been a conspiracy a foot. I didn't work out at the beginning of the week, Monday or Tuesday, and I decided not to beat myself up over it! OK, I did, just a little! Until I literally told myself to stop! What, don't you talk to yourself too? It ...

I looked at the scale again, 7 pounds lighter than I used to be! Already, I thought to myself?! I'm going to have to do this again in the morning. I've been keeping up with the food, eating less, more veges, fruits, nuts, snacking on healthier things if I feel like it, yogurt, pretzel, fat free popcorn! I managed to get some exercise in but not as often as I would like right now. But I'm doing something! But to already be 7 pounds lighter, yeah~! I realise that's water, blah, blah...

It's been topsy turvy, trying to stay focus, eating right, again, trying my darnedest, exercising, again, really trying to do this right now! What with the going ons in my real life, and the latest happenings at JU, it's thrown me a loop! First with JU, although many people love to say, it's the Internet, it's not real life! Duh, yes, we all know it is the Internet, and yes, it is real life! But people don't tell the truth, so why get involved in or with people you don't know? Well, o...

Boy did I fell off the wagon, really, really deep! I've fallen but I will get up! My daughter's school had a fundraiser, at the local Chuck E Cheese! Pizza and soda here I went! I had to go after work and I was hungry, and there was no dinner cook so...disaster! And boy were those kids noisy! But it was good fun to see them all enjoy themselves as children should! I haven't exercised except for Monday and it's not for lack of trying! Between work, homework and everything els...
