I am feeling so much better lately, not sure how things are going, but I just feel better.

The kids are doing great. They are so awesome!

I have been staying on track with my eating, always the struggle for me. DD made cookies last night, I didn't have any (so proud). Actually, I didn't even want any. I'm not really a cookie person, but I used to never turn down any sweets, too yummy in my past life.

The exercise is usually not the problem, 'cause it just makes me feel so good. My windtrainer broke on Wednesday (boy, I must be hard on them), DH fixed it last night for me. Still waiting for parts for the exercise bike (ugh), trying to be patient, but it broke more than a motnh ago (sigh)... Trying to stay positive about that, since windtrainer has been good to me.

I took last night off from exercising, but still think I can make my goal. By the time DH had fixed the bike it was 6:30 and I still hadn't started dinner. And, I really wanted to watch Survivor (hmmm, priorities....)

Actually, I hardly watch TV, so the 4 shows I watch a week I make a priority. My fav is Amazing Race (yippee, it starts again next week), then Trading Spouses, Survivor, and Lost. I might catch the local news 2 or 3 times a week, and that's it for me. I rather be doing other things than sitting on my butt. Speaking of which, I'm thinking about getting an exercise ball to sit on for TV, does anyone do this? I heard it was really good for you.

Well, on with the day! TGIF!!!!

Hi Jay-nee

Yes! I sit on a stability ball for TV. I hardly watch any tv either, but when I do, I try to always use the ball. The good thing about it is I find myself doing a few crunches here and there, etc. My 4 yo has one of those bouncy balls with a handle and he sits on his when I sit on mine. Its fun!

I'm glad you are doing well. Your exercise is so good for your mental health as well as fitness. Good for you I hope you get your machines all working

Happy Friday

Sunny

Way to go Jay-nee!!!! You're almost there!

Sorry about the windtrainer now! You must give those machines a workout!

My daughter is a Girl Scout...so I've been having to resist the Girl Scout cookies all over my house!! UGH!

Take care and have a great Friday!

Jeez! You don't have to take out your frustrations on the poor machines!!!

 

[jay-nee]

I'm waiting for my computer to start its day at work right now. I came in early to get out early, but the systems aren't even up yet. I killed almost a hour with e-mail and printing stuff, so now I'm on lunch. I am assuming it will be up by 8am, otherwise, I will have to eat the time. What a bummer! This is the down side to not being able to sleep past 5am each day. grrrrr

I just weighed myself here at work, 162 with clothes on, obviously! So that's a good sign...

I haven't worked a Saturday since over 2 yrs ago, it's weird, I'm the only one here besides security...

Well, just thought I'd post quickly... Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

have a great weekend!!!!! hopefully the time at work will goquickly for you

 

[jay-nee]

I'm not working today! I ended up listening to over a 1/2 of a book on tape, so the time went by okay at work. Just so glad to not have to work today! yippee!

I'm still having a hard time sleeping. Too much going on right now, it's been a little tough going, hopefully things will smooth out soon.

This has been quite a year already. Each day seems to bring a new challenge, I'm not a big person for change, so it's definately keeping me on my toes. I'm trying to just roll with the punches...

I did pretty well eating yesterday. I actually did have a small bag of wheat thins in the afternoon. I haven't had a snack in ages. But, our vending machines are marked for snacks that have less than 30% fat (even that is horrible), but since I had breakfast at 7:15 and lunch at 11:15, I needed something at 2pm to keep me out of trouble until dinner time.

The guy that sits 3 cubbies away from me has a whole BIG jar of candy and I gave it a quick thought, but I just walked away instead. I'm hoping it will pay off on the scale on WI day! But, I'm so close now, lbs will not be coming off each week and I know I may have a few gain weeks, I haven't had one non-losing week yet, so I can't complain.

My exercise total is 910 minutes so far this month, so I am pretty sure I will make goal. I plan on biking 30 minutes today and doing 15-20 minutes on the Bowflex. Tomorrow, biking for 30 and pilates for 20. That will make my goal of 1000 minutes. This has been a short month with alot of challenges, so I am pleased.

Well, off to check out my WISH buddies journals. Have a great Sunday! Think Spring! Up here in Maine, we need some warmth, it's only 10 degrees this morning and I'm sick of the COLD... brrrrr

 

[sarahsmom73]

Hey Jay-nee! Happy Sunday!!! Great job on avoiding the candy! Here's to us both making our exercize goals this month!

As for winter, you know where I stand!!! I want out of here!

 

[wilderness01]

I'm sick of the cold as well. Take care and have a good Sunday.

 

[sarahsmom73]

How much snow are they forcasting for you... One model I saw is 10 - 14, which really isn't bad....But it still means more snow and cold!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

stay warm--this snow storm stuff is getting old !!!!!
great job on avoiding the candy--im sure it will pay off!!!
have a great week

 

[jay-nee]

We are supposed to get anywhere from 6-10 or 10-17 over the course of 36 hrs. I am so ready for spring at this point...

I did my WI today for the Feb challenge and I am down another lb! So that means only 6 lbs to go now! Yippee for me! I am at 2.5/8 for the St Pattys Day Challenge right now.

Only 45 minutes to make my exercise goal today, no problem... I'm going to bike 30 and do pilates for 20, so I'll be fine with that too.

Today is my 3 month WISH anniversary! This board has made such a difference in my life. I am starting to feel myself again and my knee is not an everyday pain anymore, just a here and there thing now. That alone was worth it!

So, Hi to my WISH buddies! Have a great Monday!

We are supposed to get anywhere from 6-10 or 10-17 over the course of 36 hrs. I am so ready for spring at this point...

Sending you some sun from Texas!

Happy Wish Anniversay!

Congrats on losing that pound and reaching your exercise goal. You are so close. Keep up the great work.

Stay safe and warm with all the snow,
Beth

Happy Anniversary at WISH

Wow, you are 6 pounds from goal???? That is sooooo fantastic! I'm so glad your knee is better and you can exercise.

As for snow... we have the same forecast-- TOO much! Enough is enough.

to Spring

Sunny

 

[sarahsmom73]

Here is soun for both of us!

 

[jay-nee]

Today it is snowing and snowing and snowing... Just hoping we don't loose power. Thankfully, today is NOT a work day! I love it when it works out like that and I can just deal with shoveling and no driving! They are still saying at least 10-14 inches.

Well, I decided to handle the March Exercise Challenge and give a bit back to my WISH buddies. These challenges have really helped my weight loss and I hope that I can help someone else with theirs...

I am thrilled that I offically made my exercise challenge as of last night. I almost copped out on the pilates, but I only needed 15 minutes, and I thought, oh, what the heck! So I did it!

Pretty sure that I won't loose 8 lbs between Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day, but I'll try. I've lost 2.5 lbs since Valentine's Day so far, so to loose 5.5 in 18 days is probably a little lofty for me. We'll see though.

I am doing well on my eating. No second helpings and most of all - no outright sugars! No candy, cake, cookies, donuts, pastries, etc. I don't miss my coffee at all anymore. I did for a while, but it's been 4 1/2 months now. I just wondering how many calories and grams of fat that was! Thank God I only had 1 mug a day. yikes...

Today I'm going to make american chop suey. I've never made this recipe before, so it will be fun. Plus, sourdough bread (for the guys) in the bread machine. I love how the house smells when I'm cooking, so yummy! Especially on a day like today...

Keep up all the great work you guys! I'd love to be in the pool at WDW right now... Happy March 1st!

Way to go Jay-nee on losing another lb!! You are only 6 lbs from goal! You'll be there in no time! You are such an inspiration.

Take care!!

Hi Jay-nee,

I am so ready for Spring. We ended up with 9 inches of snow with more on the way. I can't wait until I need to mow the lawn.

The chop suey sounds yummy! You are doing great. If you are curious about nutritional info on different coffees, Starbucks has all their drinks on their website. It should give you an idea about how many calories you are saving.

Take care,
Beth
