yo-yo...
I feel like a yo-yo.My last weigh in I was 152.7 and Sunday I was 153.1
I was a little disappointed because I have been working like crazy at work.
I have been running around Costco, pushing carts and eating pretty healthy.
My husband mentioned that maybe it is muscle...you know it weighs more than fat.
I still feel good and my clothes are getting really loose, in fact I had to buy a belt because I don't want to go buy new clothes yet.
My 12's drown me, my 10's are getting really loose, I am thinking I could probably fit into an 8.
I have been retaining a little water because I am on my feet all day, so I try and put my feet up when I get home from work.
So on to next week, hoping to get down to the 140's.

Keeping up and weighing in....
Since starting my seasonal job I feel like I have been working out everyday and I have noticed it on the scale. I weighed in on Sunday and was down to 152. Yeah me!!!! I am so excited but I am also tired and hoping I am losing weight the right and healthy way. I am not eating any junk, well I did have a little over the Thanksgiving holiday. For the most part I am taking healthy snacks and eating a healthy lunch at work. I feel better and feel like I could run on the treadmill with no problem. I am not only thankful for a job right now, I am thankful it is keeping me healthy and helping me lose weight. Looking forward to weighing in on Sunday. Hoping to be in the 140's.

WOW...
I weighed in on Sunday, two weeks after my last weigh in. I was in total shock when I looked at the scale and saw 155. Wow, I was so surprised and so happy. That means I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. Yeah me!! I am also tired and not used to working so much...but I guess I can look at it as being paid to work out. Off to work, will try and update more when I get the hang of the new schedule.

GRRRR...
Heba, this woman is all about herself and very controlling, must be daddy's little girl and spoiled rotten. Which makes her think she can control everything and everyone around her. She stirs up trouble then when is confronted doesn't feel like dealing with it.
This guy Brady is a puppet on a string, enough said.
Brady's wife Vicky...she is just plain and simple evil. I have never in my life seen someone so controlling, (except Heba) coniving and evil. This woman needs to be voted off. It is amazing some of the expressions she shows, she is so confident and cocky that she is controlling the game. I cannot believe how immature she is, she needs to freaking grow up. I loved it when Amy made a very smart choice and voted Brady off. LMAOWednesday, November 12, 2008

Weigh in....
I even want her work out center and to look awesome like she does when she works out, hahaha.
Pete and I weighed in,
he stayed the same which is better than gaining so good for you baby,
I am proud of you.
I however did not stay the same,
I gained 2 pounds.
I was frustrated because I was retaining water so bad the indents in my legs looked like craters
so I am trying to figure out what is going on.
No excuses...because I hate excuses!!!!!!!!!!!
It is what it is and I have no will power when it comes to halloween candy.
SO...with a new week comes new goals.
Let's see how is goes and looking foward to weigh in next week.
Until then happy work outs and positive thinking. ; )

No words...
Pete and I weighed in on Sunday. Pete lost 2 pounds and I lost one. Hey, not complaining especially since I ate horrilbly last week. Biggest Loser killed me last week...with the table full of peanut butter cups...of course I had to have some. I couldn't be strong like I always said I would be. Oh well, life goes on and we are on to a new week. I just hope last week does not catch up with me on the next weigh in. So for now, I have lost the feeling that I have to eat anything and everything. Yay!!!!I am really going to try and get my 30 minutes a day of exercise in...at least 3 days a week. Okay, I will at least get 20 minutes a day of exercise in at least 3 days this week. There, that is more of a goal that I can reach for right now to get back to where I was.

That time of the month...
I had a bad day Tuesday and craved, hell I don't know what I craved I just wanted to eat, anything, but when I did of course I wasn't satisfied...so what did I do? I kept eating and was still not satisfied. So I am going on Thelma's diet today!!! BUT...I am going to get some exercise in too!!!

Don't miss it
Weigh in
I weighed in on Sunday...I weighed in in my underwear because I was going to wear jeans that day and did not want to weigh in with jeans on. Wendi cracked up laughing and Pete came and held my towel so if Matt walked out of his room he would not be scarred for life if he saw his mom in her underwear. The weigh in went okay, I lost one pound and I am back down to the 150's. I weighed in at 159 but I will take it. Pete did not have such a good week but it wasn't that bad. Here's to having a great week and staying on track!!!

Beached whale...
I have decided that if I could change my fat front to the junk in my trunk I would be pretty much okay. I have been having a hard time setting for very long because my butt is too boney. I can feel my butt bones on the chair and it hurts after awhile especially on a hard chair. Then it is hard to get up and walk because I am sore. Geeez what is that all about? I know I still have about 30 pounds to go...what's a girl to do?Oh, and I have been a bad girl. I went out with my daughter, my 2 nieces, my nephew in law and some of their friends for dinner. Of course we all had dessert...red velvet cake. Then...my daughter takes me to dinner tonight and what...I had a pozookie. Okay, not so much looking forward to weigh in this week-end. ; )

I just bought Bob Harper's new book "Are you ready"

Weigh in...

Pete and I started a new page for our weigh ins. From the first page Pete lost 25 pounds and I have lost 15. Pete is 270 and I am 160. So we start a new page and get motivated all over again. We talked about how changing our diet has helped us but now we have reached a plateau and we need to exercise too. We are trying to see how much we can lose by February 4th which will be the one year anniversary of Pete's heart attack.
We went for a fast walk last night and walked for about 30 minutes. That is a good start. I am also working in the garage and making it into a workout room. I am still debating on getting the malibu pilates chair or the treadmill. Pete has the elipticle which I don't like as much because the balls of my feet go numb when I use it. But the weather is still nice so we can still work out side until I decide.

To be young again...
We went shopping and had a great time but this old body was not used to toting the carrier around, putting her in the car and out of the car. It was so much fun to be with them, even with the workout of getting in and out of the car.Tuesday, September 16, 2008
It starts tonight....yeah!!!!
Yeah for Bob and Jillian. Keep up the good work.
I did not weigh in this week. I am going to start again on...well I am actually flying to Nebraska to see my grand-daughter and daughter while their daddy and honey has been deployed.So as soon as I get back, even though the show has already started I will be weighing in again and being inspired by all the hard work and tips from The Biggest Loser. While I am gone I will still be watching what I eat and Jenna will probably kick my ass at the gym. I will still try and update my diet blog and it inspires me as well.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise...
...I was watching late night TV and clicked on a commercial for the Malibu Pilates Chair. I don't usually go for the commercial thing as they are usually gimmicks. It did look pretty good but still not sure.
I was at a friends house the other day and brought it up, she said she had one. I couldn't believe it, she never orders from TV either. To top it off she was bucked off her horse and broke her hip, collar bone and some other stuff. She has healed but she can't ride a bike and walk too much anymore because it hurts. She thought the Malibu Pilates Chair looked like something she could do. She has only had it for about 2 weeks but she loves it and can do all the exercises but one. So we went up to her room to check it out. I loved it, so much fun and I could do all the exercises without hurting my back. It also comes with 3 DVD's and a poster with exercises to do. It seems like it is cheaper if you call in instead of order on the internet. The internet says: $300.00 but she got hers for $250.00 and she ordered off the TV. Now I have to decide which one I want first. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! In the meantime I am going to try and get some exercise in.
If anyone is reading this and has an opinion I would love to hear it, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!!

Getting in the right mind set.
Pete and I have so many plans for our future. Our kids are raised and have dreams of their own. We have so much to live for and so much to do...I love you Pete and look forward to our next adventure. Your heart attack in February really brought to life a new perspective. We can do this together.
Mom...I miss you so much. Your strenght and determination have been such an example to all of us. If you can go through what you did with a smile on your face and say I am lucky, there are so many people out there worse off than me, if this is what God is going to give me then He will help me through it. I guess we all have our crosses to bear...thanks for teaching me by your wonderful example. I love you and you still give me inspiration. I know you are there cheering me on because you struggled with your weight your whole married life and you want more for your kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Thanks mom I know you are there everyday!!Saturday, August 30, 2008
At the point of needing inspiration...

I want my body back....

When Pete got home we talked, we feel like with vacation and everything we have kind of gotten off our course of good habits, we weren't really bad but we have to get back on the band wagon and eat our fruits and vegetables again. We also decided everyone in our house has to work out at least 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. If they want to do more that is fine. We are going to keep a log of it. So we will see what happens. Pete and I also talked about getting another trailer, we like to go camping and hiking so that is another goal we have set. I realize I will never have my high school body back, but it is inspiration...except the hair...so 80's. hahahaha.
Plus I am going to see Jen and Layla in less than a month while Jeremy is deployed. I know she is going to kick my ass....so I have to prepare for that. I went power walking yesterday for 45 minutes and I am so sore today. I feel like I need some joint juice. Man getting old sucks...your mind still feels young and your body is saying "sorry just can't do that anymore" well I am going to prove the old body wrong. The weight and exercise trial continues...Wednesday, August 20, 2008
HUH?
