Good Morning Red Team!!!

We had a rough night here but we're slowly moving. My DD didn't sleep well and I was having a hard time falling asleep.

My arms are killing me from yesterday's workout. I have to stretch a little today because I'm having a hard time with my right arm, it hurts to straighten it all the way. I was lifting stuff around the house last night so I just stiffened up a little overnight.

Today we'll go for a walk later. I've got some house stuff to do. I should also go check out my parents' house and see how the construction is going, they are out of town so I thought it would be nice for me to give them an update.

My DH just told me the job in Florida is starting to send him paperwork to fill out. I don't even know what to think at this point, there are pluses and minuses to both situations... Well, being close to Mickey wouldn't be the worst thing...

Good Afternoon Red Team!

I hope everyone is enjoying the start to their weekend.

We had DH's office party last night and I am happy to say that I did very well and didn't over eat. I didn't even really have but two bites of dessert.

Thursday I had my second session with my personal trainer. I was hurting but managed to get through it. I am hoping to see big results with this workout plan. I need to get over to the gym at some point today. I know what I've got to do so that helps. This coming week we'll be working on lower body and a total body workout. I should be in the weight room at least three days a week, so one day will be upper body, one lower, and the third total body. Then the other three days I'll be doing cardio. I'm still doing water classes but I'm going to try some other classes as well. Good thing since the pool will be closed from the 18th through after Christmas.

Today is a house cleaning workout and some holiday baking. Whee! I'm sure my daughter will love that. She's been asking me to make her Christmas cupcakes so I'll probably make some this week. I'll keep a few and send the rest with my hubby to work.

How is everyone doing? njcarita, how's the new weight watcher's routine going? goldcupmom, are you back with us yet? miandrea, how are you doing?

Next Friday I need to get a new scale, mine finally died so I'll get a nice new one, I've been wanting one for awhile so now I have no choice but to break down and buy one.

we'll I'm loving the weight watchers program this week.
My first official weigh in is tomorrow ( I think I lost about 5 ) but we will see.

I'm also trying to quit coffee( having issues with Blood Pressure and irregular heartbeats) so I've lowered my salt intake and hopefully by mid week I've weaned myself off caffeine.

It going to be strange for me-- because I have had coffee since I was a child--I grew up with Cafe con leche ( Cuban coffee and milk).
But my Doctor wants to put me on a second BP med --- so Here I am exercizing--- giving up my coffee , eating right --- I can only hope it will help.


Hope everyones having a great week

nj that's great about the 5 pounds! Way to go!

I'm just doing a quick check in, I'm busy getting some stuff out of the Christmas decor boxes because they need to go back in the garage tonight. Our apartment complex is going to be in our apartment for three days starting on Wednesday so I've got to finish things up and get the floors clear.

Tomorrow I start my second week with my trainer. I'm looking forward to it. I'll probably hop in the pool for Aqua fit after I'm done before I start to stiffen up.

I'll try to post more tonight when things get a little quieter.

I'm back from the gym and the start of week two with my trainer. I'm happy to say that I'm down 2.8 pounds since Thursday of last week! WooHoo! The gym scale is a little different from my (now deceased) home scale. But I'm happy with that. I'm so glad to be off this plateau that I was sitting on. Geez, it was forever to get off of it. I think now that I'm upstairs in the weight and cardio room that I'll be seeing better results up there.

I am currently toddler free, she's with my dad this afternoon so I'm going to get going and working on what I needed to work on without the help of my toddler.
