Cleaning is Exercise ...Right!

I was drained when I got home yesterday. I said ok I will just sit for a little while. I got up to start cooking, almost finished I laid down for a few minutes. I got up ate, kept thinking about exercise, didn't do it. Then I decided the place was a mess. So I made the child do the dishes and vacuum. LOL I mopped the kitchen floor, the bathroom sink, the tub. Put away all the clothes in the living room. We take off our clothes in the living room evidently...LOL OK cleaned my placed.   2 minute walk/jogs in place hourly today 9:25 10:40 12:15 12:30 I'm gonna have a mile before I leave here today. 2:15 1 mile so far (wow jogging is good) 2:55

Day After

I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving Day. :hungry: I plan on going walking today and this weekend.   Piggyback off of Cha Cha dreams   Tiny NSV's Running up and down the stairs and am not ready to drop dead
Knees don't hurt as much when running up and down the stairs
The band keeps me from filling a plate up with food, woofing it down and then go back for more.
Private NSV for friend
Able to sit with one leg under me without my leg falling off dead
Able to comfortably do the sit sideway crossleg
The confidence is amazing, I know it is also the coming of age....40
None of my clothes are tight anymore. LOL
Did I tell you I love my collar bones. I can actually feel them and they are almost able to show all by theirselves if I position them right. LOL I'm so excited.:clap2:

NSV for me

I got my pressure checked yesterday and it was fine. I have saying for months that I was going to get it checked. I will not wait and put it off like that again.   I am not making the best food choices right now but I am conscious of what I am eating.   I did not workout yesterday so I built up a sweat sorting throught clothes. I was able to actually thrown some clothes out, box some up for someone else and hang up so old thing that now fit again. I have on a top today that was once too tight but today it is baggy. I had my ex boyfriend button down shirt in the closet so I tried it on and guess what....it buttoned up and was tight at the bottom button. Woohooooo who would have thought....I'm happy.....this feels good.   I am going to do this, I know I am. I'm not going to waste anymore time of my life being overweight and unhappy.

Hello

I went to the gym this morning but the big treadmill was not working so I got on the elipt, small treadmill for 5 min and the bike for 5 and did arm weights. I need more cardio this week if I am going to lose 4 pounds. It is going to be cold the weekend so I am not going to the park. I need more cardio!!

Monday

Weekend turned out well even with rain. Got a 2 mile walk in w/Pooky Sat. with incline. I don't want to do 3 miles anymore unless it's at HP. I won't force that extra mile. My excuse is that oh I'm going to the pool anyhow.   OK off that. I put on my 32 goal jeans and I think I can acutally wear them now without them cutting in to my gut. YEAHHHHHHHH. I was actually able to get the muffin top into the top of the jeans. It sits above the pants just a little and not hang over like it use to. I am also wearing a shirt today that someone gave me about 4 years ago and I couldn't get into then. It's a 5x, it is just amazing when you find out how big you really were. I am embarrased that I had gotten so big. I don't need to be cheating in any kind of way. My eating has not been good, portions are small but the food is not a good choice. I will turn this around ASAP and begin meal planning again. I will be having my good ole grd turkey, sour cream, refried beans and salsa for dinner. A veggie, I need a veggie, oh mixed vegatables.   Sunday we had a great time at our meeting. Everyone is doing so well losing. We all fall off the wagon but thank God we have each other to push our fatarzzes back up on it. :heh:   I don't like to be pesamistic but I like to deal with reality. I don't see myself meeting my birthday goal but I look and feel better. I will continue to strive for 375 and will celebrate when I hit it. I want to find out what my weight is tomorrow at TOPS badly. I hope and pray that the 5 pounds I gained last week are gone. I will be doing the Walk Away the Pounds tape this evening. I'm sure the pool will be closed this evening. I have Take the Challenge this evening anyhow. TTC I know that will be a good workout and with less people because the shopping trip is today for some folks.

Wednesday

I gained and I don't want to say what it was. I'm hurt but it was expected. I am doing well so far today. Instead of eating I will cry. I wanted to eat something very late last night, instead I cried. The release of fluids have to be some kind of weight loss. This morning, upset about life in general, cried.   289-291 I ate so much bread last week it was crazy. Yes I need a fill and I will get one soon. I will call now and see if the office is open. 9.13 at 1:30 good done. Stress is crazy but I decided to slow down yesterday. There is no point of running around with your head cut off just to be on time. I am having to follow my DC around just to get her to do things in a timely manner. It is working my last nerve but there is peace of mind because I know it is done. We had 25 minutes to get ready for TOPS and she gets in the bed. Noooooo get your clothes ready for school tomorrow. It took 25 minutes for her to look for and try on things. (I do not allow her to put something out unless she puts it on and we are both satisfied with how it looks, she is thick and I don't want her to be uncomfortable or upset about how she looks) I decided she needs to do a few other things she is going to have to do before bed anyhow.....empty the trash, clean the bathroom sink and get all papers that need my attention for school. I'm soooooo glad I took care of these things before we left.   OHHHH ALI, WE GOT THE MAIL....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, THEY ARE SO CUTE.

Thursday

Thank God   Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever,   Amen   I feel blessed, I have been given another day to do get it right. I feel so bad for the people in Colorado. I can't imagine what they are going through. I thought the girl that was injured was going to be ok physically but she died. I know that crime is everywhere but I can't stand the murders that are happening with the youth in the DC area. I don't understand what people are thinking about when they decide to take someone's life. The mother that saw her sons body, how aweful.

June 20

I feel good about going to TTC last night. I feel like I got in a good exercise. With all that sweating, it better have been a good exercise.   I am excited and nervous about weigh in tonight. I need this weigh in so bad to get that motivation. I have a burger for breakfast, soup for the rest of the work day and my daughter made me a pbj so I may share that with my co worker. We're crazy.   I don't know why I wait until the morning to really think about what I am going to wear especially knowing I usually have to iron stuff. I kinda forgot I needed to wash my hair this morning because it was totally wet from sweating. I washed my hair and grabbe no iron clothing. I think I'm kinda cute today becuase it is a black cami with a sheer black blouse with flowers and a little beading.   I need to throw the rest of this burger away because it is sitting in my chest, as if I didn't know.   What am I going to do to keep from eating EVERYTHING when I get off. Weigh in does not begin until 6:15. You know when I get home I lose my mind on Tuesday's. POPSICLES that will be the answer. I will walk while OPRAH is on and then have 2 pops.

Thursday

I'm here.....PMS...I'm sure. I feel depressed and going through my mood swings. I feel like I don't have anyone to lift me up.     Ding ding ding ding my girlfriend Linda.....I miss her......:think . That is partially what's wrong with me. I don't have her to talk to anymore. We would talk just about everyday.   I need a hug.[/b]:emoticon(':hugz')"]

Weigh In Day

Angelburch you are too funny but yes I am a morning person. I wish I could stay in the bed until 9am but I think it is just a waste of time. My body wants to get up so I am glad that I am motivated to do something now when I get up. I was getting up at 5:30 now I get up at 5am.   I was in the gym at 5:50 this morning and did 1 minute and a half on the eliptical. I increased my time by 1/2 minute LOL. I did 15 min on the treadmil and did 2 arm machines and 1 leg. When I got home yesterday I walked in place watching Oprah for 15 minutes and ran up and down the stairs about 12 times total for the evening last night.   I think I will go back to the gym and get on the treadmill or ride the bike for 15 minutes at lunch. I love the pull down machine. I saw results from the machine before and it really gets rid of the rolls.   I weight in tonight and I am really excited. My last weight in was 379 on 12/19.

I am going in the right direction and have a new workout routine. I want to be out of the 370 by the end of this month and it is doable. I am going to stay positive and focused. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:   Thanks guys for all of your support.

I GOT IT

I got my motivation. I lost 10 pounds last night. OMG I was jumping up and down and hugging the weighers in while in my underware. :faint:   I now weigh 373 pounds. I went past my 375 but it is ok. I want to go with this feeling and lose 4 pounds this week to get into the 360's. I have wasted enough time.   I have been drinkinig slim fast for breakfast, eating 2 salads a day, especially on the weekend. For quick food I have been keeping sugar free jello and pudding made up in the fridge. I will put whatever dinner meat we had on the salad. I haven't been focusing on food because I have been busy. I have been trying to stay away from McD because I could go there everyday. I am so happy. WOW 459-383-373- 369-365-360-350
