I jogged this weekend for the first time in almost 2 months.  I was slow and stiff.   Today, I’m back to it.   I’m taking a jog with my dog in my wonderful new neighborhood.    After that, I’m going to the gym for some more - maybe weights or abs.    It’s the right time to set up some new routines.   We just moved after living in the same house for 7 years.   It has been a very good move.    Lots of fun for my family.   Lots to look forward to.  

Have a great day everyone!

I turned 40 and completed my second triatholon 3 weeks ago.   I haven’t worked out since then,  though.   We are moving to another community at the end of this month.   This means cleaning out 7 years of projects that I never completed.   I saved a lot of my daughter’s infant clothes, etc. in hopes of having another child one day.   Now, I’m sending it all away.   So sad.   It’s harder than I thought to go through all my closets and junk.   The strange thing is that I’ve lost 5 pounds in the process without even trying.   So, even though these changes are hard they are also liberating.    

I would love any info or experiences anyone has had on meal replacement drinks like slimfast.     I have a stubborn 5 pounds  I want to lose ASAP.   I also have a very very very sore tooth so I thought it would be a good time for a liquid diet.   Any information is appreciated.  Thanks.

I’m off to the gym in a couple hours to run 6 miles.   I tried it about 2 weeks ago and only made it 5.5.   I just couldn’t make it.   But tonight I will!   Life is good today.   I don’t have to work tomorrow so I’m off for an early weekend with friends.  My husband decided to stay home.   I’ll miss him but it means I can leave earlier.

After my last attempt at running, I was stressed and ate and ate and ate.   Now I’m back down to the last mini-goal.   It feels good and it put me in a GREAT mood for today.  I’m going to have lots of temptations this weekend with food and drink.   I’m bringing some healthy treats with me.   Hopefully, I’ll make good choices.   I know I will.   I’m in control over what I eat. 

Have a great weekend everyone.   Wish me luck on my 6 miles.

Tuesdays are my busy day of the week. It was a rough one but I managed to get through it. I was very stressed at the end of the day. The rest of the week will be much more enjoyable. I didn’t gain an ounce since yesterday. I’m thrilled because maintaining is very difficult for me. Its either diet or binge. I just want to maintain this weight until Friday. That may be a challenge because tomorrow night we are going out for dinner and I want to enjoy it. Losing another pound today would guarantee the weight loss.
I’m going to set a new mini-goal. They will be in 2 pound increments now. I am considering reducing my final goal weight. I’ll decide when I reach it. Once I reach a final goal weight, I wonder if I’ll spend as much time worrying about my weight. I get tired of it and feel vain. I’ve just had this goal for so long. I want to accomplish it and go on with life. And all those hours at the gym. I know there are health benefits but I want to SEE all my hard work, too.
Anyhow, happy Wednesday everyone. Make healthy choices!

I’ll blog every night if I have to.  I’m not going to eat at night.   Snacking while I do dishes really helps me get the job done.   I can’t do it though. I can’t I can’t I can’t.   Its a waste.   I have to clean the kitchen tonight because we have ants this time of year.   So gross.  I’m going to do the dishes now and go to bed.  That’s it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I reached my mini goal this morning.   I am finally in the 120’s.   I’m only 4 pounds away from my final goal weight.   It feels surreal.   I have been working toward this for 6 years.   I’ve been on BS for 2 years this summer.   It has helped so very much.   I’m spending an hour or so this morning on Buddy Slim and enjoying the time. 

Last monday I was almost at my mini-goal.   I had a bad monday and dealt with it by eating.  I binged for almost 3 days and gained over 5 pounds.   Fortunately, it was easy to get it back off.   Easier than I expected.   This healthy lifestyle is becoming normal.   Eating poorly doesn’t feel good and is exhausting.  I wish I knew how to deal with stress other than binging.   It’s something to work on.

It’s normal to go up and down a little with weight.   I really want to stay 129 or less until Friday.   Thursday is our 10 year anniversary.   We are getting a babysitter and going out to dinner to celebrate.   Today is only Tuesday which is my busy day.   Being busy sometimes helps because then I don’t think about anything else.  

Have a great day, everyone.   Think healthy thoughts.

My husband likes to watch cooking shows.   They make me so hungry.  We are waiting for our little girl to wake up and start her Easter egg hunt.   She has to solve several riddles and follow a hunt in order to find her basket.   I’m only 1 pound away from my goal weight.   I’d like to accomplish this by tomorrow morning.  I had a great workout yesterday but I ate poorly after.   Therefore, losing one pound in a day is possible if I am very careful. 

I’m blogging for motivation.   I’m trying not to eat late at night.   It’s only a couple hours til I go to bed.   No eating!  Got it?  Got it.

I’m getting closer and closer to my mini-goal.   I can feel it and taste it.  Just a pound and a half away.   This is the slimmist I’ve been in 7 years.   I can hardly believe it.   I like getting dressed in the morning.   It’s only going to get better from here.   Seven years ago I considered this weight to be heavy.   Now I am thrilled.   I feel slim, positive and energetic.
