Teresa's WISH Jouranl (Comments Welcomed)

[Tera]

Thanks Aurora - I think a calendar is a great idea I'll post that veggie receipe for you when I get my butt out of my chair

Sundie - Thanks for the swoosh fairy, I think it worked Isn't it terrible how happy I am that the holidays are gone




Well today turned out to be a pretty good day. Got up and weighted myself and the scale was my friend this morning showing 177.5!! Who knows if I'll hang onto that till tomorrow, but atleast I got rid of that 1.8 pounds. Went to the gym and had a great workout... 30 minutes on weights (I'm gonna hurt tomorrow) 30 minutes on the step machine (definitely working up on that), a friend showed up and instead of standing there chatting, we did the elliptical for 30 minutes and then I got on the bike for another 30 minutes. 2 hours!!! Doubt I'll get another day like that in this week....

DH is off today, so after my shower, we did a couple of errands and then went to Applebee's for lunch. I had the WW chicken faijta meal. It was pretty good and I was definitely full. We did a little shopping after and I got a new ski coat for $32.00!!!! (it originally was $150) Also picked up a new workout outfit and another pair of size 14 pants. I can't WAIT until I can go by size 12's Katie started swimming lessons tonight, so I was able to get another 15 minutes on the treadmill while we waited for her to start. She was too advanced for that class, so she'll move up on Wednesday. DH picked up Taco Bell for the kids for dinner, but I had my lean cuisine, but since I had plenty of points left over, I had one taco. I would be SO thrilled to show 177 tomorrow (down 3.4 pounds) but we'll see. I "should" be able to claim my 30 pound clippie and will be driving hard for that 35 next.

WOOO HOOO, Tera!!
What a fantastic day!!!! I can't wait to see what kind of results you get tomorrow! I bet you will be sporting something new and shiny for us to see!!! :jumping4: :jumping4:

Tera...it's so great to catch up on your journal...you are doing amazing! What an inspiration you are to me! You are kicking butt...I'm just so excited for you! I love that you allow yourself those few indulgences, but are always right back on track!! Come over here and kick me to get my rear in gear!

You are awesome!!

Gail

Terry - Was hoping to have something shiny and new to show you, but it WON'T WORK

Hi Gail - Great to see you again. I'll definitely be posting on your thread and get you in gear girl

Today has been a GREAT day so far. Went to the gym and walked about 45 minutes on the treadmill. I don't do too much on Tuesdays because of weight in (don't want to mess anything up ) Went to WW and was THRILLED that I lost 3.8 pounds!!! Wow, WAY more than I thought I would. So I lost the 1.8 I gained last week PLUS 2 more pounds. That puts me at a total loss of 31.6 pounds and a weight of 176.4. Now I haven't been at THIS weight since I got pregnant with my first daughter, 12 years ago, so I'm getting there..... I am now shooting for that 35 pound clippie (even though I can't get my 30 pound clippie to work ) and can't wait to get under 170. I'm hoping to be there or even close to there by the end of the month. I have 36.4 pounds to go for my cruise goal and only 17 weeks to get there. Now I know I can lose about 20 in that time, but 36 will be pushing it. I'm off to a good start this month though

Going to have lunch in a little while and then off to bowling I go. It is snowing now and they are predicting 3-6 inches of snow today and maybe more tomorrow. I love when it snows, but not when I need to go out in it


Michelle and Terry (and anyone else watching Biggest Loser) I thought tonight was the finale, but I think they just vote someone else off. Don't forget to watch!!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Way to go Tera!! I see that ticker moved...you must be so excited. Maybe I'll get one of those tickers. You're doing great!

 

[geetey]

Thanks for the reminder -- I had forgotten about the Biggest Loser! I just checked the website and it says the final show is Jan 11! I think they are changing things on us. I know I am not THAT blonde! Check out http://www.nbc.com/The_Biggest_Loser/ for a preview of tonight. It looks like there is going to be more Before and After photos. Yeah!

Now for your big news....

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thewave: :thewave: I knew you were going to do it!!!

You need to edit your signature and remove that &#91img stuff! Then we can all see the shiny new clippie you earned! Gosh, Tera, I am SO proud of you!! You are doing SO well! to you!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!! :jumping4:

Almost there!! Remove the extra spaces ' ' from your siggy and the clippie will show up!

Beautiful! Just Beautiful!!

Enjoy that clippie while you have it. I have a feeling it is going to be replaced rather quickly with the 35!

 

[Tera]

Thanks Terry! Kim helped me get that darn clippie fixed. Isn't it just beautiful!! I should have that 35 pound clippie by the end of the month, definitely doable.

 

[Strings]

CONGRATULATIONS TERA!!!

You are doing an amazing job. That 35 pound clippie will be yours in no time. Enjoy your show tonight.

Keep warm,
Beth

 

[wilderness01]

Wow good for you with that weight loss. That is wonderful!

 

[Tera]

Thanks Beth and Wilderness!




Today it is COLD and snowing here. I can deal with the snow, but hate when it gets this bad. Feel like I'm in Minnesota There was no delay for the kids school (thank God), so I was able to get to the gym on time. I got in about 20 minutes on the weights, working out mostly my upper body and 45 minutes on the elliptical. I wanted to walk on the treadmill, but my darn MP3 player died I did peek at the scale again today and was 175.5. I have GOT to stop weighing myself everyday. Still shooting for my goal of being at 170 by the end of January. Katie has swimming tonight, so I plan to get in the pool and swim around, working on my legs and then I'm hitting that HOT TUB Tonight is our Lost/Alias evening, so I won't be moving from my chair for about 3 hours (except to fill water and go potty )

 

[geetey]

This is the closest to a hot tub I can find! LOL!

Enjoy that hot tub! I will be running around in a last minute panic!!

Keep up the good work while I am gone! I can't wait to hear how you do! Oh - and

STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALE! Just once a week, young lady!

 

[Tera]

Terry - Thank God the hot tub at the rec center is bigger than that How long will you be gone? You guys have a wonderful time and think of us.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Tera Baby! Woo Hoo! Look at you sportin' the gold bling bling 30lb. clippie!!! You are fabulous!

You're going to have 35 by the end of January, no doubt!

 

[Strings]

Hi woman,

we did the Lost/Alias marathon too. What did you think? It took me awhile to remember what had happened last season on Alias. I have a crush on Vaughn.

I hope you managed to stay warm today.
Take care.
Beth

 

[Tera]

Thanks Michelle! I think that 50 pound one will look REALLY good on me... can't wait to get it

Hey Beth - My kids LOVE Lost and it took me awhile to remember what happened on Alias last season too. I thought it was a great episodes and stay away from Vaughn, he's MINE


Today has been a good day. It's my 38th birthday Workout was good today (30 minutes on the step machine and 35 minutes on the treadmill) Went to the mall after and walked around for a little while and then bought some candles at Yankee Candle Co. Oldest got sent home from school, so I had her and DH home... so much for my quiet afternoon alone. My laptop battery is dead, so I'm using DH laptop and won't be around much until new power cord arrives in two days. What will I do???? Probably won't get to journals till then Went to Claim Jumper for dinner tonight and I'm stuffed. Need to drink lots of water tonight and do some heavy cardio tomorrow and I should be okay.
