Hi Beth!

I hope you are feeling better today! Yesterday, I did a workout that I have been doing for about 6 months now and I did the weightlifting that involved more reps/lower weight for the first time. Guess who woke up sore this morning??? I may need a long, hot soak in the tub before the day is over!

Have a wonderful day today. Beth!

Hi All,

I am not sore today. Just in time for me to do more weights.

Plan for the day.
Go to the Y for weights and 30 mnutes cardio.
Go to the library.
Go to the grocery for clementines, supplies for school, and a couple meds.
Finish laundry.

Meal plan for the day...
B: Scrambled eggs and tea.
L: Salad and 2 ham/cheese rollups.
D: salad, herion wings, and Katie wants squash.


I am actually excited about this weekend. I took Friday and Saturday off. My bday is tomorrow. Why am I excited? This is the 1st bday in 11 years that I haven't had to spend with PG. We have the same bday, and actually, so does Won's ex. Friday we're headed to Bucca di Beppo for dinner with friends, and Saturday I'll shop with my parents. Won will meet us for dinner. I work Sunday only. I know tomorrow will be hard for Won. He isn't planning on calling his Mom to wish her a happy bday. There will be guilt involved. I on the other hand will throughly enjoy the day for the 1st time in 11 years, but who is counting?
Have a great one,
Beth

Beth... you deserve to have a wonderful birthday celebration! I pray that this weekend will be a fun, relaxing, and awesome time for you!

 

[DoeWDW]

Beth, sounds like a fabulous weekend to me! No wonder you're excited! It's always a treat to be able to spend your special day with the people YOU choose and 11 years is a LONG time to have to endure people you are not overly fond of.

Your plan for the day looks busy, as usual, but good, as usual. I hope it's a wonderful day for you!

Hey Beth - Sorry it's been so long since I last visited. You should like you are doing well with the exercising and staying OP. With everything you do, it amazes me

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!!!!

Beth:

Don't let anything stand in the way of your wonderful weekend plans and have a very happy birthday!

I was sorry to hear about your dad and the deer - I hit one several years ago coming down from the ski resort in my little CRX. Fortunately I just got his shoulder and he glanced off. Still made a mess of my little car but the body shop said it would have killed me if he'd gone through the windshield (no airbag in that car). You can pat your DF on the back and thank him for taking out one of those nasty "rose eaters". They are just the bain of my garden's existence, can get up over a 6 foot fence and just look at you when you yell at them to get out of the yard. I'm wishing we had a cougar visiting instead of a "little bitty bobcat"!

Go easy on the weights - more reps with lighter weight is great for elongating muscle and toning (or so I've been coached).

Again - Happy Birthday!

Hi All,

Well, I think I made it through journals today, but if I missed yours, I apologize. It is really getting tough to make it through all of them every day.

I did go to the Y. I did 2 sets of weights (5#less that Tues) and it seemed to work. I also did 30 minutes on the glider. I really worked hard, and burned 411 calories. I always enter my weight *** 10#less, so I get a more accurate number of calories burned. I need to increase my intensity more often. I then walked 1 mile.The only problem was the guy on the stepper next to me. He wore a really strong cologne and my allergies are terrible right now. Yes, I did shower, but it didn't help. I don't see why people wear perfme and cologne to the gym. People sweat. It doesn't smell good, but drowning yourself in cologne just make you smell like bo cologne. Use deoderant and shower after. Ok rant over.

My list of things to do today is doen, except the cheesecake. I need to do that after dinner bacause I need the oven for dinner.

I changed my lunch to 2 ham and cheese roll ups and a can of spicy V8. I just didn't feel like a salad. I did eat my 1/2 grapefruit this afternoon. What amazed me was that Katie tried a bite and asked for her own. I hated grapefruit as a kid. She didn't even need it sweetened. She is a great eater. Thank God with her dietary restrictions!

Well, I'm off. I'll check back in tomorrow.
Beth

Beth, have a wonderful Birthday! Sounds like you have some very nice plans. Relax and simply enjoy the moment. You deserve it!!!!

Keep up the great work with the exercise and food! You will see good resluts very soon, I am sure of it!!

Happy Birthday Beth

Keep up the great workouts! Your making great progress. I enter my weight low, too!

Katie eats grapefruit That's amazing. I bet your right, the dietary restrictions has help shape a better taste repetoir. Oh I need to get Joshua's diet in order.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!! I hope you have a wonderful day!! Buca's is my absolute FAVORITE restaurant. It's our celebration place- birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I dream of their garlic bread I hope you have a wonderful time and truly enjoy your special day!

Kaye

P.S. Thanks so much for your post on my journal - it helped me put things into perspective!

 

[swilphil]

Happy Birthday, Beth. Enjoy!!!!

My youngest son likes grapefruit too. I know when I was a kid, I would sprinkle sugar on it. But Tony will eat 1/2 grapefruit all by himself. Grapefruit sounds good. I think I'll have one for breakfast. Do you eat them as a snack? For some reason I only think of them as breakfast food.

 

[Strings]

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Terry, I am 34. I don't mind this one. 26 was hard for me because I changed demographics, 18-25, 26-34. next year might be tough.

The alarm went off, and DH and Katie told me to stay in bed for a few minutes. They call me downstairs and hand me a cup of coffee. I had asked for a new coffeemaker-mine finally gave up the ghost and a balance ball. I got bot. Of course, I would have been happy with the $19 coffeemaker from Target, but I put Won in charge. This thing is awesome! Programmable with a thermal carafe, and a built in frother for steamers, lattes, and hot chocolate. It comes with a video instruction guide and a instrcion book the size of a textbook. It makes AWESOME coffee. Anyone care to join me?

I weighed in today. 204.5 I am up 1/2 pound. I expected more. I totally binged, and portions have been an issue. I also think I am entering DZONE. I also started lifting again. I'm ok with this weigh in. There is always next week.

Plan for the day...
Katie goes to school, I go to the Y for cardio.
Put away my clothes.
Relax-may go shopping with the munchkin.
Dinner with friends.

meal Plan for the day...
B: Coffee, lc waffle, 1 sausage.
L: Salad.
D: Out at Bucca de Beppo's. I checked out their website. I'll have salad, some antipasto, and lemon chicken. I will then go with the 3 bite rule. If there is something I want, I will take 3 bites. It usually satifies me. I've never been there, but it serves family style italian. Definately not OP, but 1 member of the group is vegetarian and another won't eat red meat.
Dessert: A slice of LC white chocolate mint cheesecake. It turned out perfectly and based on the batter last night, YUMMY!

I will get to as many journals as I can today.
Have a good one,
Beth
