WOW, Marie!!! That is AWESOME!!!

I am SO proud of you!!! You're gonna be a skinny minnie in no time!!

Thanks guys!!! I was totally pumped all day!!! Talk about starting a Monday on a good note....!!!!
Ok..food today -
B-Breakfast stuffed sandwich (hot pocket, only better)
S-Anytime Bar (vitamin bar) better than I thought it would be.
L-Spinich & Cheese Tortellini
S-JC Popcorn (I only ate 1/2 of it...shared w/ the girls)
D-(gonna be) Vegetable & Chicken Potstickers...(isn't that Chinese??? )
S-later tonight will be strawberries & whipped cream

I never thought I would enjoy being on a diet so much!!!
Oh, water so far is 56....shooting for 70 before bed.
Exercise - 2 mile walk w/ DH...I RAN THE LAST 1/2 MILE!!! and it felt great!!! it's about 48-50 degrees out and the cold air in my lungs really felt good....am I weird? I had a good pace...did it in 4:30 The total walk was about 35 minutes, and now I'm going to go do my Ball Workout. I put down 60 for today, but I'm not sure how much the Ball workout is yet...I haven't done it before. Oh, and I took 30 minutes for yesterday and all the furniture moving.

Ya know, it's really nice focusing on my diet/workouts, and not the stressful stuff. I'm glad...SO GLAD last year is over...the last few months really did me in...(mom, van, ear) ....New Year, New Start, New Me....
(ok, i'm a dork, but that's ok, you still love me!!!)

Life certainly is much more enjoyable when you focus on the things you can change as opposed to those you can't.

Way to go staying on track and being so motivated!

And I am assuming since we haven't heard anymore ear woes that it has finally gotten better?

 

[kimwim8]

Great job, woman! You are truly my hero!

You are kickin butt on the exercise challenge too! You'll be way over your estimated minutes by the end of January!! It's only Jan 8th and you're over 1/2 way there!

I am SO SO SO proud of you for the run! You did it!!! You are so gonna be ready for the 1/2 marathon with me in 2008!! Although, you keep this up and you'll be wanting to do the FULL!!!

I can't say it enough....you're doing AWESOME!!

 

[lindalinda]

Wow, you are awesome girl! You are my inspiration! Keep up the good fight! You rock! I cant think of any more cliches to say! Wait...I got one...Keep your eye on the prize!



I just added the laundry one for fun!

 

[CACruisin']

Fantastic Job Marie! You are doing so well with not cheating and your exercise! I'm really impressed.

Thanks guys!
Last night I didn't get to do the Ball workout...the ball wasn't inflated, and the pump...well...it sucked!!!! So, DH and I did our 2 mile walk tonight, and I'm not going to mark the time... to make up for what I accounted for last night. (ok? )
So, the ball is inflated tonight, but I'm going to pass on it. The $#@% dog had us up at 2 a.m....wanted to go outside, so I let him out....then the little #@!^%&*% wouldn't come back in!!! Every time I would try, he would take off running. I finally said *&^%it, stay out there and freeze, and I went back to bed. Then DH went and tried to get him in.... this went on for 2 1/2 hours!!! The ^%$& dog came in when DH got up to get ready for work. Needless to say, neither on of us went back to sleep. I told DH that he (the dog ) should be glad I didn't shoot him...it was VERY tempting!!!
So, the 2 mile walk was all the energy I had left in me. I'm gonna finish this post, shower & climb into bed and watch a movie.

Food~
B-Banana nut muffin
S-8 oz milk
L-Chicken Salad w/ crackers good...sweet.....
S-6 baked lays chips....was supposed to be an apple.
D- Lasagna
S- later tonight-Chocolate Graham Cracker Twists...sounds yummy!!
Water-48 oz
Exercise-2 mile walk...not a good pace...told DH to shoot the dog.

If anyone wants an 11 month old Boxer, let me know....one more night like last night and I ship him to you!!

g-nite

[kimwim8]

Hey lady....you deserve a night off after all that working out! You have been doing awesome, I swear. I love to check in with your journal every night to see all the good food you got to eat and how you're doing. All of it sounds SO good (as I sit here eating dry turkey or celery sticks. )

Sorry about the dog issues. Just seals the deal for me that we won't have any pets that need to be "let out"!!

Have a great one, and get some rest!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Sorry to hear about the dog situation.... I hope he cooperates tonight and lets you and your DH sleep.

Have a great Wednesday!

 

[lindalinda]

SEND ME THE BOXER! I love boxers!

I know you dont want to but you might have to take him out on a leash for a while, then give him a treat for coming inside when you call. Make that the only way he gets a treat for a while.
Might use "inside" as the call in too instead of his name...he might be thinking his name is for fun.

If Arwen doesnt come in sometimes I have to say "cookie" and then she comes running. Good Luck with him.

Get some sleep tonite!

Sorry about the dog issue. Part of why we don't have any pets (much to my kids displeasure!). We had a houseful of pets growing up, but now I have turned into such a fuddy duddy . I don't know how my parents did it.

Don't worry about the ball exercise. You have been an exercising machine and even without the ball, you still got a walk in. I agree with Kim. Your food sounds great!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

You are doing great Marie--WAY TO GO AND KEEP IT UP!

 

[lovinaz]

That is interesting that the dog did that. I am assuming he hasn't done that before? Is he neutered? Maybe there was a female in heat somewhere. Ya, I bet you didn't know I was a vet with an engineering degree, huh?

You are doing awesome with your exercising! No wonder you are losing all those lbs. Keep it up!

 

[kimwim8]

Can't wait to hear what wonderful things you ate today!

(not rolling my eyes, but whistling a little ditty while waiting....)

Believe me....you'd rather me whistle than sing!

 

[kmp1191]

Amy I never thought about another dog in the area being in heat.... . Not gonna worry about it....dog isn't going outside after 10 pm from now on.
Kim - c'mon, sing us a song....break out the kareoke!!!

So, food today....I screwed up.....BAD!!
B-Silver dollar pancakes w/ veggie sausage....WONDERFUL!!
S-orange
L-Chicken Stuffed Sandwich
S-(this is one place I screwed up...I looked at the wrong day and grabbed the chocolate walnut brownie....was supposed to be an anytime bar in the morning, and an orange in the afternoon. ) THEN, I went into the kitchen/breakroom to get some ice and one of the girls had hushpuppies...I LOVE hushpuppies....so she gave me one....totally weak.....totally unacceptable!! )
D-Beef w/ mashed potatos & gravy....looked like Alpo.....tasted like what I imagine Alpo would taste like.
No snack later tonight....was supposed to be lemon cake, but have to save that for the day I was supposed to eat the damn brownie on.
Water - 56 oz - 12 oz diet sunkist
Exercise-2 mile walk w/ dh (40 min), 30 min ball workout...OMG I'm not going to be able to move tomorrow!!

Today was a pretty good day. Went to the mall on my lunch. Everyone in the office got along....which is VERY rare. Never had the urge to kill anyone...not even once... Is it a full moon? Kids are even in the back bedroom reading....WTH IS GOING ON AROUND HERE??!!

ok...have a nice evening!

[lindalinda]

Well, if thats a bad day I need to be deeply ashamed of myself! Seriously, it osunds great to me!

I like your new ticker with the ladybug! that was my sorority mascot in college!

 

[kimwim8]

You know you've come far when a bad day is when you eat one hushpuppy and you eat the WRONG on-plan snack!! Boy how times change...

Love ya, girl. You're kickin some serious butt!

 

[CACruisin']

Like Kim said, 1 hush puppy and the wrong on-plan snack is a BAD screw up? You are doing awesome lady. You love hushpuppies and you only had one . You got your exercise in, work was ok and the kids are good - 2007 is definitely going to be a good year for you.

You are doing awesome!
