Labor Day
Monday, September 3rd 2007
Well, made it through Labor Day with 596 calories to spare for the day. I went to a BBQ, and brought some skinless chicken breasts to grill, but took a little tuna pasta salad for a taste. I even brought my own Pita Chips. They were yummy! Not even a beer today....all water. So, all in all, it was a good day.Today was my weight training / strength training on the treadmill. I always just go by how many calories my HRM tells me I burned, so the calories match up in the CK software. Funny, ...
One Day at a Time....

Well, I'm liking the scale these days :-) Two lbs. down this week, after a loss of nothing the week before. I'm losing about one lb. a week. While I would LOVE to lose 2 lbs. a week. I'll take the 1 lbs a week. Working out consistently is making me feel energetic and is helping with losing those inches. I've actually put on some pants that I was struggling to button up last spring....and they fit nice and comfortable now. I just need to keep on, keeping on....to hit my goals.My mom is in ...
Just Like a Yo Yo

I'm a bit frustrated today. The scale hasn't really budged in two weeks. In fact, I keep on teetering two pounds more than last week but today, I'm back at 180. I know several factors have to do with what the scale is reading, so I do keep this in perspective. Grrrrr, it just seemed so much easier to drop a couple of pounds "back in the day", before children.So, today, I will:
1. Eat healthily
2. Work out (weight training today)
3. Drink LOTS of water (I haven't been so ...
Blah, Glad Yesterday is OVER

I totally pigged out last night....And, as I did it, I really did feel awful. I can't believe how SALTY the pizza I ate, tasted. I have to say, it wasn't even good. And certainly not worth the calories.So, today, I wake up, feeling a bit salt bloated from the 'za, and a tad guilty. But ready to face today with renewed motivation. While I try to give myself one day each week for a splurge.....I just hate it when I over do my splurge. I have to say, it's so darn easy to over do the splurge. ...
I'm so Proud!

Well, me and Randy's exercising, eating healthy routine is rubbing off on my children. I'm soooooo proud!! My eight-year-old is now using our measuring utensils to dish out his breakfast and lunch!!! He is reading the labels on the cereal boxes and other foods and is getting familiar with portion sizes. And, better still, he's incorporating "fruit" as part of his healthy breakfast. I LOVE IT!!! He even has got his older sister and brother in on the act, policing their meals. It's a hoo...
