Today is my 12 hour day at work. I really have trouble with snacking here. But today I am doing good. For lunch I had a small pasta in tomato sauce, with 3 small pieces of garlic bread. There is this new dessert everyone keeps asking me if I tried and I said “no I am watching what I am eating” and the one girl saw my pasta and said “What is that diet pasta?” Excuse me, I felt like Hannah Montana, I wanted to be like “Anorexic Red head says what!” LOL I factored in my calories and I have almost 1000 left for the day. Besides how is it her business? Its not, she has a mouth and thinks she should use it. I was really bummed out today but I kept telling myself positive things and now I feel more confident about the day!

Down with Haters! (and also the pounds please!!!!)

Hi everyone! This is a pic of me yesterday, after the 5K, after TV stardom.  I can see changes in my body. My arms may still be big, but they are smaller then they were. My belly is less jiggly and  my thighs are smaller. I am the incredible shrinking woman.   My back boobies feel like they are down a size or two, and my butt is less jiggly as well. I am so much healthier then I was a few months ago and I am pretty happy over all.

 If you have On Demand on your cable tv, they have that exercise tv.   They have Biggest Loser workouts on there. I have been doing Power Sculpt with Jillian and today I tried Cardio Max (or Blast)  with Bob and Bob wipped me! I kept letting the TV know how I hated Bob like every time I could breathe.

Well I am off to enjoy some cropping  of pics for scrapbooking.   I am overdue some good scrapping.

Oh, even ahve minigoals, my main goal for 2008 is to enter onederland.  I want to enter 09 at least in in the 190’s.

Down with the pounds!

Today I participated in a 5K walk run, 3.1 miles.  I pushed both girls in the double stroller (38 pound stroller, 35 pound child, 18 pound baby) and I completed it in 53 minutes. For the last 1/2 mile Pammy got out of the stroller and we wogged. I thought I was going to pass out but we did it! Plus afterwards we got interviewed by the news!  We walked to andd from the race too so they probably puts us at over 3 1/2 miles. Yay go me! I cannot believe I did it!

Oh and I lost a pound this week! I think I might of over did it in soduim yesterday which is why I didn’t lose more but I will take a pound!

I have been doing really well this wek. I like to think that Bob’s book is making a difference. I have read the whole Part one of it on  nailing down your inner compass so I am working on it. I have been making good food choices, and at least smarter portion sizes on “bad foods.”

 The girls and I walked to the park yesterday (about 30 minutes  round trip) and today we wal;ked to the library (40 minutes round trip) Plus I am still squeezing in 15 minutes on the exercise bike.

Today I popped on to blog and read a couple blogs to motivate my butt into my 15 minutes on the bike. I didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night and I am starting to drag. Hopefully some of your motivation will rub off on me!

Down with the pounds! (I smell a successful weigh-in in the air!)

I work open to close today so I must be quick!  I weighed in at 248 2 weeks in a row and I am happy with that! I am packing some healthy snacks and a lunch today so I will only be eating dinner at the restaurant.   I hate to eat 2 meals there even if I have it made healthy! 

My goals for the week:

1. Don’t push the envelope (Thanks Sandy for the term!)
2. I am working extra so still try and squeeze in work outs even if I can’t do as much as usual.
3. Keep up the food journaling.
4. Get further in this Are you Ready book

I have  alittle head cold that has me putzing but I need to get going. I only have 55 minutes until departure time and nothing done!

Down with the pounds!

Real Quick:

• I am still loving the book. It talks about forgiving yourself for everything, all the failed diets, all the start overs, and for whatever messed up notions you have in your head.   I love the way Bob talks, the way it is written you can hear him almost like on the show, at least I think so.
• My eating yesterday, Fab.
• My eating today C-. I ate good all day, even ate only half of an icecream sand. as a snack earlier, but we didn’t eat dinner until 9:45 and drove through Mcd!  But all day i ignored temptation. Ray and I had a lack of communication which led me to not prepare dinner before a lONG shopping trip. Oh well! Tomorrow will be better, I can feel it!

I guess that is it. Off to watch something with my hubby and at least do my quick upper body work out before bed!

Hi everyone! Today is a great day!   I started reading Bob Harper’s book (Bob from Biggest Loser) it is called Are you Ready!  I am still at the beginning but I am really liking it more than the othr books I have looked at. It talks about an “Inner Compass” which is like what we consider the It factor when everything clicks.  It also talks about staying positive and how we beat up on ourselves too much. So today I am being more positive. I can do this! LOL (That was me being positive in case you weren’t used it that) All right it is time for me to gather up the offspring and head out to my Aunt Honey’s house, the cookie baking Goddess who will tempt me, but I am WORTH IT(another book cliche phrase I am believing!)  so I am going to say no!

Down with the pounds!

I just spent 9 1/2 hours at work and I am glad to be home. My eating was good all day except right at the end I messed up a little bit. But over all better than normal. My Mom’s party was yesterday and I had such a great time. I danced a little bit which I am usually too self conscious to do.  

 I have another long day tomorrow and I work Tuesday morning so I may be MIA the next few or just popping on really quick. 

Week Goals:

1. Write down my food

2. Two journals I want to do 1.an I want list like the heart breakers, and 2.when did I give up on myself (Plus print the Scale is the devil for my out journal) These are notes to self, sorry.

3. Look into Bootleg WW from my aunt Dee.

4. Go outside to exercise if the weather is nice.

5. Pay attention to what I am putting in my mouth and how it is effecting my long term goals.

6. Keep my body in motion

A quick question, see the tab there at the top by my title ^ Is there a way to mae other tabs? Like a food section, or summary section? Just wondering if anyone knows and could tell me.

I had a busy day today. I got up early and rode the exercise bike. I usually ride for 15 minutes while they(my girls) are napping but knew today hadalot going on so I got  up and did it. I ate only 3 meals today and  a piece of Extra (Yes Biggest Loser style) nbut 2 of my meals we ate out. Terrible. I had 2 good days of eating and one bad. Tomorrow back to better food choices. I did becareful on my portion control, and tonight I rode the bike for 15 more minutes and did what I like to call my BLW BiggestLoser Work Out. It  is just some tips and stuff I got from one of the BL Prevention magazines. I am rambling on, sorry.

 Today was busy because I took my brand new van to have the one door fixed. (Under warranty) they gae me a rental. i had to drive to Ray’s work because I couldn’t get the carseats in and I almost had a melt down like Pammy  in atoy store. Then my Mom and I went to lunch with the girls, then to JCPenny’s where my Mom bought Pammy abunch of summer clothes, 2 pairs of shoes, a magnetic fishing rod, me a pair of Nikes, and Dani got one outfit. Then we went to Toys R US  where she bought Pammy a bike and rollerskates. Are we rich? Hell no! But my mom is still secretly leavinng my Dad, so she is running up the c/c’s they are about to pay down. They are paying  them down when he gets a check from milking the system and then she is out the door. Since my Dad is actually my step-dad and a total douche, I will savor walking in the new shoes thnking of stepping on his face.  (I was going for joyful hope that didn’t come off as bitter.LOL)

Alright time to go watch some rerun Sex and the City.

Down with the pounds!
