Jay-nee's journal

gain so I'm keeping my clippie. For some reason I'm having a hard time getting my exercise routine back. But, at least I'm not giving up totally, just don't seem to have the motivation this week. I'm tired emotionally... Hopefully, my momentum will be back soon. I am going to get on the bike in a little bit. DD is baking choc chip cookies so I am in charge of the oven (both of my kids are scared to death of the oven ). I will hop on after the last batch is out.

Thankfully, my eating has been OP totally. Weird, usually that would be the issue for me - never exercise. But, I'm sick of the windtrainer, I want my exercise bike back! Stupid tech still has not fixed the thing! This has been going on for 2 months now! Crazy!!!!

Well, back to oven duty! Hope everyone is having a nice day. It was beautiful here today and I can finally feel Spring in the air!

Hi jay-nee,

I hope the elbow feels better in the morning. Rest is the key.

Good luck on Ebay. I am afraid to go to the site. I am sure I could become addicted.

Have a great evening,
\Beth

I hope you get your bike back soon. What an aggrevation!

Well, I'm down 1 lb from Tuesdays WI, but I did not make the 8 lb goal for the St Patty's Day challenge.

I am back on track with my exercise plan and I feel so good! Funny how you can get off track for a few days, but you just have to jump right back on asap!

I did so good on oven duty. I will say that I had a few (very small) pieces. I had been feeling deprived lately so I think it was a good thing. Otherwise, I have stayed away from those cookies! They do look yummy though, DD loves to make cookies. (mean kid, huh? )

We have lost so much snow Sunny! It has been wonderful! I LOVE IT!!!! Also, good news on the exercise bike front, my parts arrived yesterday! So now I'm waiting for a call back from the tech (again!). It has been a TOTAL aggrevation. But, it is teaching me to be adaptable with my exercise (something I have not been good at in the past).

Well, happy Thursday to all! Work is behind in my unit so I am working a bit extra today, yuck!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Way to go with the loss!! That is awesome. So glad you got your bike parts...just in time for you to maintain!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy Friday Jay-nee!!!

 

[jay-nee]

It's Friday!

Today I'm going to try and post something to auction at eBay. Not sure what yet, but I won't do it until tonight anyway. I think I pretty much have all my ducks in a row so now I just have to DO IT! (but I'm kinda scared...I don't want to screw up). I'll probably start will books or CDs, 'cause I think they'll be easier to ship, describe, etc.

Also, twice a year, one of the local churches puts on a chix pie supper that is so yummy, we can not miss it. So the kids and I are going tonight! What a HUGE splurge! Chix pie is one of my all time favs! And I've been so good, I deserve this reward! Believe me I will bike my a*s off when we get home, plus it a Bowflex day, so I'm not expecting to report any damage either! I won't have desert though!

Still haven't heard back from the exercise bike tech - I could beat him silly - I'm telling you! He drives me crazy! DH told me that if the tech can't get it fixed this time, supposedly NordicTrac will send me a brand new bike so I'm not sure what I'm hoping for at this point!

Well, that's all for today! Happy Friday to my WISH friends! Only 3 days 'til Spring!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Jay-nee,

Enjoy your dinner. There are certain events through the year that are traditions. Enjoy it, and I know you will burn off those calories with your next workout.

have a great weekend,
Beth

Hi Jay-nee,

Enjoy your dinner-- no guilt!

A brand new bikes sounds nice, maybe they can FedX it overnight to make up for the aggrevation

Have a great weekend,

Sunny

Yesterday, I was NOT OP with my eating at all! It started with breakfast and just did not get better, but I sort of planned it that way, so I feel fine about it. What's one day in the whole pix of life, huh?

Breakfast: oatmeal with craisens and real 1/2 & 1/2

Lunch: 1/2 bowl of pasta with hot sausage sauce and 1/2 piece of meatloaf (divided leftovers with DS)

Snack (I usually don't have a snack): 1/2 c. pistacios (honestly, I felt so yucky after eating these)

Dinner: (oh so yummy!) 1 1/2 pieces of chix pie, mashed potatoes and gravy!, winter squash, cole slaw, whole milk, cranberry sauce, and 1/2 of the small dessert (small brownie with vanilla ice cream and hersheys syrup).

Plus, I didn't even work out last night. (needed to have a talk with DS - more important!).

I was so full after leaving the chix pie dinner, but it was so yummy! I trully shouldn't have had the 1/2 piece of chix pie, it kind of put me over the edge. Plus, I ate so fast! Yikes! The next on is in Oct and I will be prepared to eat slower! Just to enjoy the meal. I had a blast though and they make such great food. It was only $9 for DS and I and $4 for DD, so for $22, we had a feast!

So, today, back OP. I did a WI yesterday and I weighed 155.5 before I ate all the pistacios! 155.5 would be great on Tuesday! I WILL be exercising today (bike and pilates), gotta get back on track.

I'm just so glad I don't feel guilty or anything, it was so much fun. The kids and I haven't eaten out since DH lost his job, so this was a huge treat for us.

It is a beautiful sunny day today and tomorrow at 7:33am, it will officially be Spring! YIPPEE!

Happy Saturday!

P.S. Supposedly tech is coming Monday to fix bike. I feel like screaming at him (but I won't!).

 

[pearlieq]

I'm glad you had fun at the dinner last night. Sounds delicious! And good for you for keeping in perspective--I bet that was a hard-won skill.

Yay for spring!

 

[rcyannacci]

Chix pie is one of my favorites also! Sounds so good!

 

[jay-nee]

IT'S SPRING! Officially! Funny thing is we still have this white stuff called SNOW! ARGH! Oh, I don't care, 'cause it's spring and it will be gone soon!

I did so much better yesterday, pretty much OP with my eating and I did 30 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes of pilates. Today is bike and Bowflex day. Hopefully, tomorrow the exercise bike will be fixed, as it's only taken 2 months, I shouldn't complain, huh? Crazy! It's all I can say!

Well, life is ok these days, DH still doesn't have a "real" job, although his PT job is giving him hours most days, so I'm trying not to complain. Things are ok between us, but I can pretty much see the writing on the wall (since I'm writing it). So disappointed that DH can't get his act in gear as far as our relationship goes, what a loser! He thinks he's this great guy, isn't that amazing? After all he put the kids and I through in the last 2-3 months, I just can't look at him the same anymore. I'm trying, but I just don't see it...yet. I am going to give it some time, but not forever. As far as I'm concerned this has gone on WAY too long. I could have managed a few days, but close to 3 months is unacceptable. Our kids are too old to not realize that things are so different now. Wow!

Well, enough of the bummer. I am only 1.5 lbs away from my "goal" now. It would be amazing if this WI (Tuesdays for me) was the big one, but it won't matter either way. I'm staying on this downslide, even if I make goal.

BTW, I listed my 1st item on eBay this morning. It will be interesting to see if it does anything. I've asked some people to take a look at it before I post anything else. So I finally bit the bullet and did it. I am so nervous that I messed something up. Yes, it's the perfectionist in me, argh! I'm trying to be less like that as I get older, but it's just so hard! It's my programming...

Well, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Me, I'm just happy that Spring is finally here!

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Jay-nee

I can't believe you are so close to goal!!!! That is fantastic.

You have a great perspective on your situation with DH. Time seems to be helping you process all of this. I'm sorry you have to go through it.

2 months for a repair-- that is ridiculous!

I got outside for my first outdoor run since Christmas Day! The sidewalks and streets are disgusting with all the sand left behind fromthe storms but at least I could get out there.

Happy Spring

Sunny
