weighed myself this morning to see if eating that redvelvet cake tricked my body to lose weight....what do you know, it decided to hold on to an extra pound for old times sake.
that's okay,I'm back on track today......
Glad your back on track, and I love your positive attitude. That will bring you success for sure.
I'm supposed to be paying bills, right now, but had to share. I was looking at our cc statement online and saw a charge to runningskirts.com. I asked Mike, and he said--I can never surprise you! Turns out it was in the mailbox--we forgot to get the mail yesterday.
He even ordered the right size. He bought it for me for finishing my first race, and cause I like to be girly--pink with white polka dots.
Aw, that is so sweet. And he ordered it before he tortured you with the hills to arrive after the torture. Pretty good timing on his part.
Our favorite is Bermuda. We love to cruise, and it's our favorite destination. The pink sand beaches, the friendly people, the stores where no one is begging you to buy and will let you out the door (we are not overly fond of the Bahamas or the Caribbean for that reason), it all just adds up to a wonderful trip. We like that the ship docks once and then we use it as a floating hotel, it's nice not to have to be back on board early every day.
I ran 10M this morning (22 more to go this week!), and it felt great to move again at first -- then I realized how hot it is. I was on the TM with fans, water (I drank 2 bottles, a first!), and clif blocks, but the last half mile kicked my bum, and I had to slow down more than I wanted to. I am so glad I made myself get moving again, even with the heat. It's easier to take the next steps after the first one
The menus are made for the week, and dh is grocery shopping right now. I am all set to stay in my pts target. I plan to hit everything really hard for the next 6 weeks so I can leave on my vacation lighter, healthier, and most importantly, feeling great!
Nice work on the run and the menus. Have you done the boston to bermuda cruise? I've heard it's rougher than caribbean cruises, but it would be so convenient. I haven't cruised, but am planning one for my 50th in 3.5 yrs, always thought
disney cruise, but am looking into all the options too.
I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for tomorrow. I pushed it up to next week and then started feeling a little off again so she recommended that I push it up to tomorrow or Tuesday (based on her schedule). I was very appreciative of the fact that she had openings on such short notice. (I e-mailed her with my concerns on Thursday mid-day.) And, to top it off, she had 3 openings that were at times that I didn't even need to miss work! I feel much better just knowing that I have the appointment tomorrow. The salt/sodium continues to worry me. I feel like I intake enough, but I'm just not sure. I really want to leave the appointment tomorrow with lots of information so I know exactly how much I need and how exercise may or may not impact things as well as how I can continue to lose weight instead of yo-yoing up and down so much. I still think the scale is part of the problem, though. It's tricky, because some days I lose a little bit and some days I lose a lot. The same is true for gaining. Like today, I was down 1.5. Tomorrow, I could be down 5.5. It's too inconsistent. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
Good luck at the doctors' today.
I'm sick of running in rejects... cheap knit shorts and t-shirts too stained to wear in public is my standard running attire! Class, huh?
P
My outfits are similar, maybe it's new england!
But my shoes do look nice.
Im not sure if I will get a day of work in or not. My ds2 spiked a fever again and is drooling and talking funny, I looked in his throat and think it might be strep. I will take him to work with me in the morning since I work at the peds office. If its strep I will come back home but if hes doing ok and the strep is neg. Im going to give him some motrin and take him to school. I know horrible, right. We will see how the day unfolds.
That's handy you can bring him right in and know, and it is not horrible to send him to school. It's so hard when they are sick, and you need to work, and you worry if you send him, but if you don't he's going to be perfectly fine all day. Good luck. When michael's been sick and on the fence of going to school, I"ll usually send him, and then worry all day, but he most often perfectly fine. That motrin does work wonders.
Well, I did eat more today than usual, feel bloated regardless, came home and put it all in spark, and still in my daily calories????? Did have some pintos, so I feel a bit MORE bloated! Hoping I can make it through my run tomorrow! Just crampy and blah all day. Not a lot to say tonight. Benjamin Franklin - "A full belly makes a dull brain." Got the kitchen really clean tonight for the first time this week. Yay.
Night
That's great you're still in your calories after thinking you ate so much more. I hope those dang cramps leave you alone soon, and you feel better soon. Love the quote. A full belly pretty much can dull the whole body too.
Just jumping on to post the reminder list. Haven't read any posts since Friday, but I'll get caught up tomorrow.
Here's the list of names who haven't reported in yet for July 16th. There's still time to be counted in the results!
Thanks so much for the reminders, Shannon.
We love Las Vegas. While WDW and Vegas are at opposite ends of the spectrum, they are both about as far from "real life" as you can get and isn't that what vacation is for?!
I've heard Las Vegas it like a disney world for grown ups.
We're planning on heading to Storyland with the girls for a few days in August and camping at a friend's cabin the end of August. I need to get new sleeping bags today when I go out with my mom and sister.
I love storyland. Last year was the first year we didn't make it up there. I'd like to go when we're in maine with my little nieces and nephews if they havent' been yet. Have a fun run.
QOTD: Scotland!! Leaving in 8 days...I'm so excited!
Whoo hoo!!!!!!
7 days now!!! Wicked excited for you!!!
Yesterday was the first day in many weeks that I actually counted points and stayed within my daily points. So I'm going to make this week count. This is the first monday in ages that I weigh less than I weighed on friday too, so that is big motivation for me.
Love hearing about all the vacations. I figured out several years ago, how important vacation is, and that I pretty much work to pay the bills, and have enough left over to take a vacation. I think I came to that realization while I planned our first disney trip in 2006. I was quite obsessed with the planning, and it was such an amazing and fun trip.
I'll have to make a disney question for today.
You are definitely right about the room, and I'm really hoping that even if it's just 4 someone will decide to spring for another room. It's a short trip, so I think I can deal with it for a few days. One of the sisters does not have a lot of money, so this was my way of trying to help out. I feel like I've done my part--so we'll see what they come up with. It's so early, I'm still waiting to see if they all actually register.
. i would def do it again, soon. I think that is why i love WDW because there is so many places to visit (resorts for restaurants, parks!).
every time you post???? What is a clif block?
So glad you are getting to go!!!
We had wanted to swim and hang out in the lake since it was suppose to be 90° and sunny but it RAINED (actually stormed) from 1:00 PM through the rest of the day on Saturday. Sunday morning it was humid and misty so we decided to work on some projects around our place and then come home. While it really was not what I expected, it was still a nice weekend. We played cards and games as a family, I read a whole book and we just kind of took it easy for a change.
