Housework and hopscotch do count for exercise. Glad you are feeling better.

Yesterday's points-wedding, there was not counting

Yesterday's exercise-playing with Happy, maybe 1

The Independence Day Challenge is cutting in to my journaling, but I'm okay with that because it's a great motivator for me. I don't want to be the moderator who gains the most! I truly want to get to goal by the 4th of July so I've got to get moving.

Have a magical day!

An unusual midday post for me and my journal, but as I was prioritizing (Doe, you know) I realized that I made exercise number 16 out of a possible 18 A priorities for today.

Now I'm expecting company tomorrow, so a great majority of those surround housework, which is exercise in itself, but it's telling re: where exercise is in my list of priorities.

This is something I pledge to work on in the next few weeks so I can meet my 7/4 goal.

Hey Disneygoof. You are doing well with your points- keep it up. I know what you mean about the excersise- I am the same way. Good luck getting motivated enough for some kind of workout.
Have a great day

Yesteray's exercise-housework, that's it, no points earned. At least I wasn't sitting on the couch eating bob bons, right?

Have a magical day!

Yesterday-OP

I'm going to wrap my head around my points yesterday at some point so I can make them up post-cold-cut and potato chip binge. Today I'm on target for a nice, low 18 points, and I'm going to work some walking in later.

Have a magical day!

I've been stalled for so long, but I think I'm finally taking another downward turn. Looking forward to weighing in for the July 4 challenge tomorrow.

Gotta go have some water so I can hopefully claim my first clippie!

Have a magical day!

Yesterday's exercise-more walking than usual, but nothing formal

Well, I was off program yesterday in celebration of reaching my first goal. I've reached the normal BMI range! I'm down six pounds since joining WISH so I claimed my first clippie as well.

I am inspired to stay healthy.

I've got five pounds to go to get to the weight my doc and I discussed, and ten to get to where I want to be for maintenance. I've finally moved past my plateau, and am moving downward. I'm getting a lot of compliments, which is great because it shows that it's not the few pounds that only I know about, but something more significant and noteworthy. My sizes are down, and I'm stronger and more flexible. If I can keep this up, who knows how good I'll feel?

Thanks to WISH and all the WISHers for all the help and motivation.

Have a magical day!

WOO HOO!!! CLIPPIE PARTY!!!!

Look at that beautiful new clippie you're wearing!! You sound like you're back on track after a bit of a bump in the road - way to go!!

I must say that it's easier to START a new way of eating and exercising than it is to jump back on plan after a slip-up!! That's the TRUE secret to success in this game and it looks like you've already gotten some practice.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations! That clippie is looking mighty fine!

Thanks for dropping by, Toystory!

Well, I'm taking advantage of being able to keep my points low and the pounds are coming off, but I'm just not making time to exercise. I know I won't get any in today either, and the same tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to the weekend to try to get some walking in, and want to restart the couch to 5k program. I know I won't be able to do the race in August, but I can still try to reach the goal in an informal way.

Usually when I'm working I'm snacking like crazy but I've been bringing a healthy snack with me and not eating any junk. We'll see what the next few weeks until 7/4 will bring.

Have a magical day!

Hi Disneygoof,

I've been enjoying your journal. Congratulations on your clippie.

I have a question about your last post .. the couch to 5k program. Would that be the program from the coolrunning site, or is it a different one? I've been trying to get on track for a couch to 5k plan myself, so I'm looking around for different ideas since there seems to be some debate about how long it should take. (Granted, I can barely run 5 minutes right now, let alone 5k, so I'm thinkin it's gonna take a while. lol!)

I'm trying to make 5k by September. Maybe we can be virtual running buddies.

Have a great day!

Weather not permitting walking, maybe I'll try the weight watchers workout today.

Thanks for stopping by, BeamsofLight! The couch to 5K I found through someone's journal and the website is:
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/Programs/couch_to_5k_overview.htm

I'm going to try to start the aggressive program again on Monday, and I'll have a spreadsheet done with dates. If you want me to email it to you, pm me your email address. I'd love to have a running buddy! The more motivation, the better.

I'm going through some weird weight loss period where the weight is coming off so fast I'd think the scale was broken if I hadn't weighed in at the doc's this week. I'm about a pound away from my second goal so I hope I can keep it off. I've GOT to get moving. I've been keeping my calcium rule, but I'm not taking care of the weight bearing exercise or crosswords.

Have a magical day!

Best wishes for your running program! I can walk forever but if I run, my knees, ankles & hips get very upset with me!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend, filled with fun, healthy food and exercise!

 

[disneygoof]

OK, so this weird weight loss is still going, but I'm not complaining. If anything, I'll be ok if a little comes back on, but I'll be bummed if I have give back my shiny new clippie.

I'm down another four pounds this week to 136. That's 10 since I joined WISH, and one pound short of the weight the doc and I discussed. And I'm going to re-start the C25K tomorrow, so that should help me keep the scale moving down.

Thanks for stopping by, Doe. I'll try to stop by your place this week. I hope all is well at work. I get shin splints from walking across Main Street, but I've got good sneakers that help with that.

Have a magical day!

I re-started C25K today with BeamsofLight, and I'm hopeful a virtual buddy program will keep me moving. The flu knocked it out of me last time.

Have a magical day!
