Weigh-In Day Results!

Yeah! Hoo! Sometimes you just have to be thankful for the little things, and I do mean little!! I am down .8 pounds as of yesterday morning, which is my actual weigh-in day!!! So, I am going to take that as a huge success for this week!!! 🙂

My sister Jennifer and Trina and our brother-in-law Austin drove up last night!!! My sisters, including Nette are getting really excited to go to Women of Faith up in Portland tomorrow!! This will be Nette’s 4th year attending, my 3rd, Jennifer’s 2nd, and Trina’s 1st.

Thursday Update!

Ok, so I would love to tell you that I have made a ton of progress on my goals today, but in all honestly – I took a sick day today and slept most of my day away…

I am feeling better this evening, and I can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow – being home sick alone is sooooo loney!!! Oh, that sounds sad – but did I mention that I slept most of my day away? Ok, so I guess I didn’t really have too much time to sit around lonely!

My sis-in-law and her two kids came over tonight and made dinner! They all are now out swimming with Jason – I am a little jealous, but it’s all good!!!

I added goals to my Life List last night – I haven’t taken the time to count how many there are, but as you can see (on the left hand side of the screen) there are a lot!!! I do have a few more that I am going to add tonight, and I am not planning on spending any more time trying to think of more – I am just going to keep cranking on getting the accomplished!!!

I have a lot of work to do tomorrow on my goals:

  1. Spend 15 minutes visualizing accomplishing each goals
  2. Call the local community shelter to find out how to go about volunteering
  3. Research how to go about writing a will
  4. Walk a mile
  5. Spend 1 hour filing paperwork
  6. Turn in application for community theatre
  7. Kiss Jason for 3 minutes straight
  8. Rough draft a first copy of my children’s book
  9. Read through my entire Life List
  10. Pre-plan the next day’s goal steps

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I missed my weigh-in day yesterday, so I weighed in this morning and lost .4 lbs, which is pretty cool, because even thogh it is a tiny loss, it is still a loss and I think that makes 3 weeks of loss in a row!!!

So, I am tired, and am going to hit the hay early!!! I hope to give you an update tomorrow!
Good night!

Weigh-In Day Results!

Good morning, ladies!!!

Ok, today is weigh-in day!!! I am feeling heavy today so I am sure I am up! Give me a minute and I will go weigh!!! UGH!!! Ok, so I am up 1.6. So really I am just fluctuating up and down about 2 pounds every week. I started keeping a journal with me at all times so that I can write down everything I eat and get to the bottom of why I keep sabotaging myself mentally – and when I saw what I ate on day 1 – well, let’s just say that I have a lot of work to do!!!

Reality Check!!!

Good morning, Ladies!!!

I have to apologize, I have been so busy that it was taking me forever to get back in touch – and then pretty soon, I just kept making every excuse not to because I knew I had been doing so badly with the plan, and my lack of exercise!!! UGH!!!

Well, I am back and ready to get going!!! Last week I had a trip to Wisconsin, which went well. I had to get some more computer training, and the class I took there was a lot of fun!

Also, I am the oldest of 5 girls, and my youngest sister, who is 18 now (she is 15 years younger than me) is working out at a camp which is right outside of Portland, so my husband has been picking her up on the weekends so she can stay with us! She is always soooo much fun to have around!!!

Today is weigh in day, and to be honest with you, I am scared!!! I have been doing so poorly – it has been kinda like I haven’t been caring, so I have been eating whatever I want, whenever I want, and not really moving too much – which combines to make a recipe for disaster!!! I have got to get this weight off!! Why is this such a struggle??? Grrrrrr! Anyway, it is what it is – so I am back on plan as of this morning!!! I am going to just take it one day at a time!!! 🙂

Give me a minute and I will go weigh and measure…
Ok, so I have gained .8 pounds, pretty good considering the week I’ve had!!! I have gained inches everywhere this week, I am hoping it is just water weight!!! but oh, well! Who am I am I kidding??? At least I now know where I stand and what I need to do to get back on track!!!

On a different subject, tonight is the release of the new Harry Potter movie! I just love the Harry Potter world!! So, I will be getting off work early tonight so that my husband and I can go to that this evening – that should be fun!!!

Also, a couple of other things that I am REALLY, REALLY, REALLY trying to get focused on is getting my finances in order, and downsizing my personal belongings!!! I find that the more money I make over the years the more crap I acquire! Not too good when you have to focus on yours physical well-being and all you can see is the pockets, and piles, and mounds of stuff you’ve gotten everywhere, and you are broke at the end of every paycheck!!! UGH!!! I make more money now than I ever have in my life and I really have nothing to show for it!!! I have got to get it together!!! I am going to meet with one of my girlfriends on Saturday morning so that we can both be a one-on-one financial support to one another!!! Wish us luck! I will keep you posted!!! 😉

Anyway, I just had to get back in touch with lovely ladies!!! I hope all of you are doing well, I’ve noticed that communication amongst us has gone down – please don’t give up on our group – WE REALLY CAN DO IT!!!!

TTFN!

Weigh-In Day Results!

Good morning, ladies!!!
Ok, to say that I have fallen off of the wagon may be an overstatement, because I really have been mindful of what I should be doing – but I really haven’t done any of it this week!!! UGH!!

Not to worry, I have been reading the posts and they have motivated me to not give up!!! So, my weigh-in day results today are that I have gained… give me a minute, I have to go weigh/measure!!! Ok, so it is official, I have – drum roll please – LOST .2 pounds!!! WOO-HOO!!! I know .2 pounds is not a lot, but when I compare that to thinking what I had gained? Whew!!! What you can’t hear right now is the angels singing, the fireworks going off, and the sheer pandemonium that is going off in my head right now because I DIDN’T GAIN!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! 😉 Ok, so measurement wise, I am actually down another .75 inches, which brings my grand total down to 3.25 inches lost!!! Miracles really do happen! 😉

Ok, so seriously, I am officially back OP starting this morning. I find that if I don’t take the time to track my points, that is when I am a goner, so I am going to make more time to make sure that I can get that done. Also, I have been using every excuse in the book not to get out and start exercising – so this week I am going to track every day, by posting on the blog, what I have done and for how long!!!! That should give me some motivation – because the idea of having to post self-created bad news on the blog is terrifying to me!!! I would rather just do the work the right way, the first time!!!

In other news, and VERY EXCITING NEWS for myself and my husband: today is our 14th wedding anniversary!! I am telling you this year has been a doozy – I really wasn’t sure if we were going to make it!!! We got married when we were just 19, and besides my mom, I don’t think there was anyone who thought we would make it past 2 weeks. We were just babies trying to figure out a way to grow into who we were meant to be and it really was tough. I sometimes think we hung in there because, besides the fact that we genuinely loved (and still love) each other, I think we may have wanted to show those naysayers that they were wrong!!! 😉

To give you an idea of what I am talking about, our pastor called us the night before the wedding to let us know that he would not be able to perform the ceremony because he felt that Jason had Donna-Reed-type expectations of what a wife was supposed to be and therefore wasn’t ready to get married. I was like “WHAAA??? We have been in marriage counseling with you for 8 months, don’t you think that you could’ve said something BEFORE the night before our wedding?????” I know he meant well, and he may have been a little right, but thankfully his wife came and performed the ceremony the next day – so crisis, averted, and here we are 14 years later!!! I have to be honest with you and tell you that I would marry him again in a heartbeat!! I really love that man of mine!!! 😉

I have the rest of the week off, so we will be going and doing something fun – Jason and I usually play vacations by ear! Then I will be leaving on Sunday for a business trip in Wisconsin and will be back by Thursday of next week. I will try to keep posting, but I am not sure how much time I will have or if I will have access to a computer – I will let you know!!! 🙂

Anyway, I will be posting a month long challenge that will last for all of July in a few minutes – so please stayed tuned!!

Weigh-In Day Results!

Ok, so real quick, before I fly out the door to go to class. I have lost 1.6 pounds this week – not too impressive based on how hard I have been working, but I have also lost 2.5 inches this week! THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER!!! At least I am finally heading in the right direction!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS OP Day!!!

TTFN,
