It's almost Friday!

Thank god it's almost friday, it seems like it's been a long week, when really it hasn't!

Last night went really well. The concert was awesome, and my girlfriend and I had a great time. Tim and Faith are awesome, I think it's the 3rd time I've seen them in concert, and I would totally go again! I also stayed completely OP, I ate before we left and then finished my points when I got home (which was not by my 9p cutoff time, but what the heck, you can't win them all!).

As far as the challenge goes, I did good for my first day, although I didn't get in any Activity Points, but thats because I just didn't have time. I did get in 3 servings of fruit and 2 servings of veggies, and I drank 110 ounces of water. So Day One went well.

Tonight I'm going to stop by my garden to water and pick anything that might be ripening, and then come home, eat dinner and hopefully get out for either a rollerblade or a dog-walk. Depending on whether the dog is up for a walk, we'll see, he has a hard life you know! Then after that I'm going to enjoy my quiet-ness :)

Cooler around here again today...only a high of 78 (breathes a sigh of relief). I hate the hot weather, even with being cold all the time. If I could live somewhere where it was 60-70 all year round, I would be doing great! I don't mind the winter's either though!

Alright, back to work for me, but I hope everyone has a fit and fabulous day, weigh in tomorrow !

Happy Hump Day!

Well Wednesday is finally here, yay! I like Wednesdays because my week is half over at this point. This weeks seems to be incredibly long, just because I only worked two days last week. Plus we've been slow here at work, so when we are slow I end up getting bored and staring at the clock, it makes for a long day. Plus, on top of that, I'm having another allergy test to find out what's been causing me so many problems, and that requires me to be completely off any allergy meds for a full week, so needless to say, I'm miserable allergies wise. Don't realize how much the meds help until I don't have them. The next week ought to be fun.

Other than that, the weather is cooler today! Finally. My computer says it's 68 out right now. I don't think our lows the last couple night have been in the 60's. I wish I was going to be around tonight, I could get out for a skate, or a walk with the dog.

So the Challenge started today that I am going to participate in through October, I'm excited, hopefully it will give me the boost that I need to get to goal. I think I am going to try to get out and mountain bike or hike once a week as part of a "challenge" to myself. Both are awesome workouts, and it will help me get to goal faster. I feel so close to goal, yet so far away.

I totally had a NSV that I forgot to tell everyone about last post. Sunday I decided that I really needed to go jean shopping. It's to the point where my jeans are even just baggy anymore, they are falling off my ass. And my capri's that I wore out (that were a 32 waist), quite literally were falling down, so I went into the jean store to buy some jeans, and I actually fit into a size 8 (28 waist) jeans. Of course I didn't buy them, because I'm not a fan of wearing my pants like they are suppose to fit, but prefer them a little big (I've always been this way, it's the tomboy in me!). So I bought the 30 waist pants, but it was totally a NSV to even be able to fit into the 28's, I've never been an 8, even in HS. But it's encouraging, because I know once I lose this last 10lbs I will probably fit into a size 8 the way I will like to, and I'll be able to squeeze into a 6...which is just crazy to think....bye bye to those 14's forever!

Other than that everything is going good. Been OP, the scale is behaving itself, and I'm feeling pretty motivated...all great things! Plus on top of that I have the house to myself until Sunday when my roommate gets back....I totally enjoy a house to myself!

Anyways, have a great healthy and happy day everyone!

I'm alive, Really

I just realized how long it had been since I posted, wow. But I'm alive, I'm back!

I had a great time up north again this weekend, and I did manage to pretty much stay on plan for the weekend. I say pretty much because on Saturday at lunch time, I did have my sandwich and preplanned food, but my mom put a bowl of fresh picked up north Cherries in front of me. Needless to say, I ate a bunch, but I did count them, the best I could anyways. Plus, they were fruit, can't go too hog-wild on fruit right?

But needless to say, I managed to stay on plan pretty good, and this morning when I weighed myself I was only up .2lbs, so thats not bad. Hopefully I can get that and a little more off by weigh in.

Although TOM is approaching, and for some reason it's been screwing up two weigh in's lately instead of just one, very frustrating. But I'm praying for a small loss this week, and then my normal 1 to 2 pound TOM gain the following week.

I hate this week though, I get so munchie from TOM that I find myself having a ton of BLT's gotta get that under control if I want to see a loss.

Other than that, everything is going great. I got my first cucumbers out of my garden last night, so that was exciting. It's been hotter than heck here for the last two days, yesterday was 95, today is no better. Tomorrow is suppose to be 78, go figure.

And tomorrow I'm going to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, crazy excited!

Alright, back to work for me. But I hope everyone is have a fabulously healthy day!

Weigh In 7/6/07

Well I did it, I broke into the 140's on the scale...just barely, but I'm there! I weighed in this morning at 149.6 with a loss of 1 pound, yay!

I just noticed the width of my blog cut off alot of the pictures, sorry about that. I have to figure out how to fix that.

I've been off work since Wednesday (and enjoying it!), and yesterday I got all my landscaping done in the front of my house, it looks great! And I'm sore from all the up and down, so I suppose that is good too.

Well I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, I'm heading up north again (all my pre-portioned food in hand!). Promise I will catch up on everyone's blog on Monday!

Happy 4th and Some Pics

First, the scale was holding steady...in the 140's. Go me!

Second, Happy 4th to all the Americans who read :)

And third, here are some pics from last weekend up north, unfortunately I didn't take as many as I'd hoped, I'm going back up this weekend, and will take more. The first couple were taking about 545a on Saturday when we were getting ready to leave for the island. The next one was taken going over the Mackinac Bridge at 615a. And the next ones are of my brother playing in his jeep on the rocks, to give you an idea of what the day consisted of. Enjoy!

Shhh don't tell anyone!

A peak at the scale this morning revealed the 140's......lets see if I can keep it that way until Friday!

A Successful Weekend

Well good news! My weekend went exactly as planned and I stayed on plan! I ate what I brought up with me, and I ate a reasonable dinner out with the family on Saturday night. There is a local Italian Joint up there that has awesome food, and the family always goes there to eat. So when we got there I opted for the 5 oz baked whitefish, with a side of corn and spaghetti, and a garden salad with vinegarette dressing. I counted everything, and while I did go over a few points from my daily allowance, I think the walking, and climbing in and out of the jeep all day Saturday compensated for that.

I figure I did alright, since when I stepped on the scale this morning, I'm show I'm down .6 from Friday, yay!

I was really worried about being away from home, and trying to stay on program, but I succeeded..Major NSV.

Other than that had a great weekend, I got a few pictures, and I'm planning to head up again this weekend to get some hiking and boating in, so that should be fun.

Crazy busy at work today, so a short post, I'll update more tomorrow, maybe with some July goals, Hope everyone had a great weekend!
