Doreen's New Way of Life (comments are welcome)

[DoeWDW]

Oh Beth, thanks so much for bringing the low-carb margaritas!! How could I forget those??

And the cabana boy...... !! Wow!

I've been visiting journals and talking about the WISH party I'm throwing right in the middle of the healthy living road today and I FORGOT to post it on my own journal!! What was I thinking!

The music is cranked up, we've all got our dancin' shoes on and all our WISH friends are here, having a good time and enjoying this journey!! WOO-HOO!!

"Celebrate good times, come on!!"

 

[Desiree]

Did someone say Party!??!?!?! Wooohooo!

Sounds like you've got a great plan laid out for yourself today Doreen! Have a great and healthy day!

 

[DoeWDW]

I'm trying really hard to get to everyone's journal to invite them to our party, but it takes a while!!

If you stumble across our party and you haven't gotten an invite in your journal, please come and join us!!

I'll be right over for the party!

 

[DoeWDW]

WOO-HOO!! Looks like we've got a great crowd of WISHers celebrating all those healthy choices!! You know we all work hard on a daily basis to become the healthy people we want to be!

Let the party continue!! I hope everyone can dance through their days, knowing that their WISH buddies are right there, dancing along side them!

 

[DoeWDW]

It's Friday and I'm ready to continue yesterday's party!! I met all my goals yesterday and I lived in a very healthy way! Now THAT'S something to celebrate!!

The scale said 140 this morning (down a pound) and I'm feeling some of the bloat is gone. My clothes are feeling just a bit looser. Yesterday was a practically perfect day in terms of my pills, water, food and exercise. I'm going to try to do it again today - not forever, but just for today.

Same goals - pills, water, food & exercise.

Bring it on because TODAY I CHOOSE to live in a healthy way!!

EDIT: 9:25 AM
Pills taken, 12 oz water so far, B = 2 scrambled eggs & 3 sausage links - I'm on a roll!! My carpool driver has decided we should leave at noon - YIPPEE!!!

EDIT: Sat. 10:50 AM
Pills
Water - not enough, only about 30 oz.
Food - S = handful of cashews, L = 1/2 c ice cream (19g), D = Wendy's chicken BLT salad - It was a low-carb day in spite of the ice cream.
Exercise - none

All in all, I'm calling it a success!

Hi Doreen,

I am just starting to read the journals. Yours is the 3rd one for me. I haven't started one myself. Not sure if I will. But anyways,
I haven't read the entire thing. But bits & pieces. Plus you were on the "no scale challenge" too. I remember you closed your eyes at the doctors when they weighed you. LOL
I would have had to look or cancel. You have more will power than I do.
Just wanted to say HI! Hope you have a groovy day...

Hi Doreen- Thanks for stopping by my journal and clueing me in to the celebration. We should celbrate- after all the ups and downs literal and figurative- we all have something important in common-
WE ARE STILL HERE
trying our best.
Let's celebrate each other. I am so thankful for everyone here. I think we are all so cruicial to each other's successes.

Q: Where would I be without my WISH friends?
A: McDonalds

 

[lulu201]

Cheapmom, you started my day with a chuckle!
Thanks for that! Here we are partying again today! I love it--all these calorie-free treats are just too good to be true!

Doreen, congrats on your successful day yesterday. You did it! Today you're feeling good and feeling strong--you can walk the road of this healthy living life one day and one step at a time.

So what are your plans for this beautiful weekend? I'm thinking I'll have to get outside and read and cross-stitch and bicycle. . .I hope you'll find time to do all your favorite things, too.

to you, dear WISH-sis. Have a great Friday!
Erin

Good Morning Doe! It is so nice to ready your bright and post this morning!

Last night DH and I were watching the Fan's Guide to Walt Disney World and they were showing scenes from Wishes - I was thinking about you and Todd and how great our last trip was. I have to admitt I teared up a little. That trip was just so magical to me and January seems so very far away!

I'm glad that you are feeling great on the healthy living wagon! I know that we can do this - we can get back on track. I haven't been on track since April so I know that my body is ready for this!

We are having a food day at work today - I decided to not participate - it just isn't worth it.

Have a great day today!

You did a phenomenal job today, and I am so proud of you. Keep it up girlfriend. Have a good weekend.

Doe, you kicked butt yesterday! I'm so glad you had a great day! Keep up the good work this weekend! We've got some beautiful weather down here in Louisiana today! I think I'm going to go and take advantage of it!!!

I'm still squarely on the healthy living road and happy about it!

Pills have been taken. I need to start on my water. B was 1/2 a PBJ sandwich (19g). I just got back from the health club - 30 minutes on the recumbent bike (weight loss course), 25 minutes on the weight circuit, 30 minutes on the EFX (glute course). I've discovered that the time really flies on the bike and EFX if I read!

I'm on track for a great healthy-living day!!

 

[July]

Wow,

I have a one of those bikes and have never gone over 25 minutes because of being bored
I will have to try reading. You did a hour & half. That's alot.

You go girl
