Days 3-7 and Week 2, Day 1

So, didn't get to my WI on Tuesday. BUT, this time didn't use it as an excuse to derail my eating, my exercising or anything.

No formal exercising at all since Thursday last week, but have done TONS of walking (40-60 minutes per day) and am going to the gym tonight for another cardio session.

I SHOULD be going to Toronto this weekend to visit a bunch of friends who are flying in from everywhere....it's only two hours away, but I just don't think I can walk away from the kids, the house and work.....might even be at my office for hours this weekend as well...so......one more month of not putting myself first - but that is getting better. I AM going to go to the gym, and will ramp my workouts up in the next few days.

I have an elliptical, treadmill, bosu ball, stability ball, exercise bands, hand weights......even Pilates workout cards, several videos - basically, I have it all at home. NEED to put them front and centre in my life and actually use them again on the days when I can't get to the gym.

Stay tuned.....I promised measurements (which I forgot at home again).....

...and my sweetheart has acknowledged that although I'm not back at 162 which is where I was last Christmas (and it's our agree-to start point on a challenge we were running), I'm getting close! He's noticed that my body is changing again! My home scale said 166 last night, after dinner, fully clothed. I'm making progress, I'm not obsessing about it, I'm feeling less bloated, and stronger........and nicely, I'm feeling energized and focused again!

Day 1 & Day 2

Forgot to take my measurements last night, but I formally am putting it out there, yesterday was day 1 of me getting my @ss back in shape.........program - continuous, never-ending, focused, "just-do-it"..... you get the picture.

It's been 30 days since I'd been to the gym - yikes! Still, managed 50 minutes of cardio - felt stronger than the last time I was there, so I pushed harder, broke a nice sweat, and this morning feel so much better for it.

So today, I'll work out when I get home....NO EXCUSES! That will make it day 2

Will post measurements (which I'll take later today) sometime in the next few days....and then again on my 50th birthday!

Have an awesome day!

Wedding, Thanksgiving.....and SUCCESS!

Being accountable......planning to move physicall, planning to eat sensibly, and drinking enough to keep you going, that's what it's all about.

My sister's wedding was this weekend! Beautiful wedding and beautiful weather!

Long story for another time.

WI at WW at Work today has me down 1.8 over last week and I'm THRILLED!

Syl....I'm still with you....may not be shredding, but the minimum 20 per day is a charm!

It's Saturday!

Harvest is officially OVER!
Year-end is officially OVER (well, still have "stuff" to finish, but the pressure is now officially off!)

My sis' wedding is next weekend - finally found a dress yesterday and shoes and jewelry, so I'm set!

Off to paint my daughter's room today....well, to finish it. I'm on a paint-the-house-a-thon this fall....one room down, one started, one to go then front and back stairwells to paint, then kitchen reno, then, oh....well, you get the picture. Nice thing is we're trashing each room as we go and purging as much stuff as possible. Storage or share with someone else......either way - outta my house!

WW - going well.
Activity - going very well.

Life is good!
