On the road to a healthy ME! Jog along with me!

[DisDee]

Hi Wendy, Hope you got that treadmill working. I've been thinking about buying one, but don't know which brand, features ,etc. would be the best. So for now it's indoor mall walking for me when the weather doesn't cooperate.

It is hard to see our kids as adults. Looks like we both have milestones this year with our sons...your's graduating High school and heading off for college, and mine getting married in August. Yikes! Our lives really do fly by.

Hope you got some more relaxing time in, and have a good week ahead! Denise

Hello ladies!

Yes, it is hard to imagine our children as adults. Guess I will just have to do it!

Bekki--London! Wow! Talk about going out and making it in the world! That is wonderful.

Denise--married in August. Wow! I am having a hard time with graduation. Marriage I am sure would send me to the nut house!

This weekend was ok. Did have a brownie for dessert the DH made for the kids. I did take my walks outside since it finally is above 40 here. Dog loved it and so did I. DD went with me on the first one on Saturday. I had to go solo on Sunday, so I went for a longer one.

As long as the weather keeps up, I will be ok without the TM. DH and DS are going to fix it, since this has happened before. They have the bolt they need, now I just need to get them to do it!

Have a great day to everyone!

Wendy

Hi all

You are right Jamie--time does fly. Just wished it wouldn't all the time.

Treadmill still down. On a good note, the weather has been great. Today was over 60 degrees. Dog certainly loves it too!

Well, on food intake, I had chinese for lunch, for I skipped dinner. I probably shouldn't have, but I will probably have pop corn later while relaxing before coralling the kids to bed. DS wants to watch a movie. He picked out Bobby. Should be a bit educational as well.

Off to finish up before the day is all gone!

The treadmill is still down. It's ok, since it has been in the 60's still. The dog is loving it. The yard is starting to look like it needs to be mowed.

Well, DS had his doctor's appt. Seems we will not have to do shots. YEAH! But he will have to get back on track and focus more on changing his lifestlye to meet his allergy needs. That means when he goes to college, he has to de-dust his room religiously and keep his bedding encased. AND take his medication. I still think that he seems better on the new medication. They did give him some steriods to take to get rid of the skin issues he has.

Ok, now about me. Took dog on a car ride, and she was very vocal on stopping at the Whippi Dip. I got her a baby cup of vanilla and me a twist cone. Of course, then we had to take a long walk to work it off.

Well, looks like lunch is done and DH is on his way home.

Chat with every one later

Sounds like things are going well--I love it when the weather actually cooperates!

Hope the rest of your weekend is fun

Hello!

Things are good. Weather is good. Going to walk the dog to get my minutes in for the challenge. It is to rain tomorrow. DH may have to fix the treadmill tomorrow. We are all home, so it should be able to get done.

Off and walking. Will have to catch up on all my chatting tomorrow, since I also go to work in an hour!

Ciao!

Wendy

Good job getting in the walking even with the TM broken. Hope it gets better soon!!!

Glad no shots for DS. Hopefully he will start taking control of his living space.

Have a GREAT WEEK!!!!

Hi Wendy:

I'm new to the W.I.S.H. boards and found your journals. Its inspiring to me because we have some similarities: kids about the same age, supportive DHs..
Just want to say thanks for the journaling because its really inspired me to do same.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for stopping by while I was out for the last week working 9 pm to 6 am and all that it disrupts! I imagine it will take another week to get back to my normal times! Well, what I call normal!

Beth! Thanks for stopping in. I will check out your journal to see our similarities. Yes, it sure helps to follow along with those that have to same goals, and experiences. I really enjoy this forum. It keeps me focus, because I would have to share in my own disappointments. Although, I did do Ice cream with DD the other night. Prom for DS and we just needed the bonding time.

I am still in a slug with weight loss. I know having a messed up schedule doesn't hurt. Last time I did this, I gained 5 pounds, but lost them all in a week. So, with the 3 I have gained since last week I am hoping comes off again quickly, with some additional pounds with it. Walking outside helps, and I am upping my water intake. That is the hardest, with being at work for 10 hours at a time, without the real opportunity to take a break away from the environment. DH will bring me meals or come to eat with me so I am doing what I want to with my diet. He still allows my diet coke addition. I do take a green tea suppliment and fiber and calcium. I really need to get walking faster. I think that will help.

Enough blahhing. I am ready!

Ciao to all!

Wendy

Hi Wendy:

I'm betting that those 3 lbs come off really fast once you get back to your usual schedule. Its so nice of your dh to bring you meals when you're working, though! Just wondering, does he walk with you as well? Mine just started walking with me tonight, and I found together we walked about 1/4 mile further than I usually walk alone, but within the same amount of time. I have to keep up with his longer stride!

Good luck with this upcoming week! Also, Hoping your ds had a good time at his prom. My son's is in 2 weeks, and we just ordered his tux. His gf has had her dress for about a month already, she's so excited.

Hi Wendy,

You are doing a great job with everything. I bet those three pounds will come off in no time. Keep up the great work and they will melt away!!!!

You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work

Have a great day

 

[tbstein]

Hi there Jamie and Beth.

Yes, DH will walk with me when we are home together. I try to get DD to walk as much as possible with me too.

I am sure the 3 pounds will melt away. It just drives me nuts that our bodies can be so fussy about our time clocks and everything. I had a grilled salad for lunch, after my apple as an eye opener. Haven't found anything worth having for dinner, since kids are at a basketball game and dh is teaching tonight. I do have some organic tomatoe soup. And some rice crackers to go with it. Ok, now I am getting hungry.

Til tomorrow!

Wendy

I know what you mean! When I was 25 and even 30 I could certainly eat a lot more, exercise less and still maintain my weight...now I can't understand why one simple 4 oz. glass of wine can make me balloon a lb! I know its water, but geez! And how come weight comes on so fast, but leaves so slowly! Truly, weight is not fair.

Enjoy your soup!

 

[DisDee]

Hi Wendy, I'm a slug with the weight loss too. I've been pretty much losing the same 5 lbs. since the first of the year. Weighed myself today and I'm at 182 which is -31 from my highest. Of course, the ice cream will probably catch up with me real soon.

What pace do you walk at? I'm at a 20 min. mile, sometimes a little less. I'm always afraid if I go too fast, I'll injure my knee. I'm just full of excuses.

Hope your schedule and eating is getting back to normal. Hang in there-you're worth it!

 

[bekkiz]

Routine is SO important, isn't it? Which is weird, but whatever. Bodies are strange things

I hope that you have a great day!
