Kim's new and improved life journal!

[brandip22]

Hey Kim! I just wanted to say hello! I started reading your journal yesterday and finally made it to the end! Well, I must admit that I skipped a few pages here and there! You are really inspiring me! I started with a nutritionist on Tuesday and am so excited to see someone else doing so well using one, too! I haven't gone back to see if you've posted any "after" photos yet, if not, would you post one? The cool thing about my lady is that next week when I go, she'll have my before photo and will have imaged it to show what I will look like "aafter"- I am too excited about that! That will be some major motivation. On my home scale, I've lost about 3 pounds so far this week- close to your first week's results. I am heavier to start with though maybe taller, so I don't think I'll ever weigh quite as little as you, though. Anyway, you are awesome- keep it up!!!

Hi, just visiting. I wanted to say I really admire your perseverance (and to thank you for your support on my journal). It sounds like you have found the right way for you to get healthy and maintain your weight. Your journal is really inspiring.

I hope your g-mom is still doing well. I was just reading about her accident. Will she be able to come home for easter weekend?

I hope you and your family have a happy easter.

Hi Kim-
How is Gmom doing? I was wondering about her yesterday!
Hope you have a good day today-ill talk to you soon !

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the posts. I really appreciate all the support and well wishes for me, and my grandmom.

Gmom is doing good. She's getting adjusted to the rehab facility and has a very nice roommate. She won't be able to leave there for Easter, but I plan on bringing her some leftovers on Monday (her sugar levels are better now, so no more restricted diet).

I ran again this morning. 2.2 miles around the block. Today's time was great. I ran it in 21 and 1/2 minutes. Still did the same plan as yesterday, just kicked it up a notch, I guess.

I have a new theme song when I'm running. I save it for the end of my run...when I'm starting to get tired:
Fleetwood Mac...."Don't Stop (thinking about tomorrow)". Man that song really gets me running!

Brandi - I did post "after" pics...I'll look back to find them. I know my journal is getting long now...That way you don't have to go back to look.

Have a GREAT Easter everyone!!

Thanks, Kim! You are looking great! Way to go!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

OK...where's the pigging out smilie? Yes, that was totally me today!!

And what's amazing to me, is that I actually missed my celery & cream cheese snack!! I found myself going for it today & thought I better not waste my healthy food on a cheat day. Now is that screwed up, or what?

I will NOT be weighing in tomorrow. I will give myself until Wednesday to hopefully flush out & work off some of those calories I ate today (and this weekend). I weigh in with Nancy on Wed too, so I'll do both weigh-ins on one day.

I am going running again tomorrow and Wednesday...and doing the BL workout on Tuesday, and possibly tomorrow night...we'll see. Major guilt trip going on here.

Have a great week, guys. Thanks to my buddies, and to the new posters! I love all of the support and encouragement you all give me!

Glad you had a good Easter! You do such a great job at excercising and that's what I hate, so keep it up! I wish I could get excited or just interested in at least doing it- maybe one day! Have a great day!

YOU GOT IT, Marie!! I'm in!! I'll check up with you to make sure you're holding up your end of the deal!

I felt the same way! One day, it'll click. I STILL don't like to get up to work out..but once I do it - I'm so glad I did. I love that feeling of being done working out by 7am!

I ran this morning. I made it around my block (2.2 miles) and I felt good. My pace was a little slower than normal, but that's probably because of all of the crap I ate yesterday!

Have a good one!

Hey...count me in on the BL mon, tues, and thurs! I need some motivation to get back at it after my day off yesterday....

Oh and thanks for lending me Sven for the day on Sat...he was fantastic!!! He did the dishes (because I still don't own a dishwasher...can you believe that?? Who doesn't own a dishwasher nowadays?) and he did the laundry, and bathed the kids, fed them breakfast and lunch, took them to their ball practices, made dinner, cleaned the house, and gave me a massage.... fabulous!!!


Good job on your run this morning...I wish I could wake up and run before DH leaves for work, but he leaves at 5:30 am...that's a little too early for me...I don't even think the birds are awake yet!

OK!! Anyone else want in on the BL challenge this week?? This is definitely easier to do when I know other people are joining me!

Sven Gotta love that man. I'm so glad he's working out for ya. Any time you need him, just let me know. Send me a check when you can...he don't come cheap!

 

[kmp1191]

Can I have Sven tonight? DH is home doing laundry today so he'll be tired....I might need a backrub and I don't think DH will do it for me.....Also, after I do Bob I'm really gonna need a rubdown.....send him my way around 8 ish.
thanks!

Thanks for the Inga recommendation! She helped out tremendously with my post race massage needs on Saturday

Great job with the running! 2 miles in just over 21 minutes is awesome!! Glad you had a good Easter....we all have to pig out every once in a while!

Hey guys!

Well, I did my BL workout (did the sculpting & strength or whatever it's called). That was one good workout. I'm so glad we made a deal to do it today, because otherwise I would have backed out of doing it. I didn't even get to start it til a little after 9. Nothing like working out & going to bed!

Tomorrow morning is supposed to be BL cardio. WISH me luck!
