Roll Call - Friday 08/24/2007

[bykerdruid]

I'm starting roll call again???

I am so looking forward to my workout this afternoon. I'm pumped. I'm strong. I'm determined. I'm going to do what I have to do and be glad of it. Because I know that when I reach goal and see myself looking like one hot mama in my jeans, I'll be sooooooooooo glad.

Not to mention, my blood sugar being under control....no more borderline diabetic for me. And my blood pressure will be under control....no more blood pressure pills for me.

And my self confidence will be at a maximum. Because I DID IT!!!!!

Friday's are pretty lean at the gym. I asked my nephew if it was always this empty in the afternoon. He said "Only on Fridays. Only the dedicated come in on Fridays." Guess who is NOT going to miss a single Friday session!!!!?!!!!!
DRINK MORE WATER!

Way to go Byker for being so dedicated.

I thought I was in shape...apparently not ....I had softball practice last night, and today I am HURTING (send the tylenol) all over. Our coach is tough, and I think he is really going to put us in shape this season. So DDR and bike riding was lax exercising for me, now i'm about to really get into it. Maybe this will kick my last 5.5 pounds off, hopefully. I guess I nee dto start running. Wish me luck.

Have an awesome TGIF!!!!

Good Mornin all! I am going to join the "ouch it hurts so good" club. Tried out some new leg machines yesterday and my hamstrings are KILLING me! LOL! On the upside, I have decided to hide my scale as of today...Had my last weigh in and I won't see the scale until we have to report results for the Labor Day Challenge...Have a safe and LEGAL day all!

Throwing luck your way!!

I'm still seeing a halt in weight loss however inches are shedding so I'm not too concerned. As far as exercise goes, I've been a bit more creative in my attempts to create interesting stuff for myself to do. Last night it was laundry. Walking up and down the stairs with a full basket and then all that ironing. I must have had a marathon ironing session. Then putting it all away. I was tired by the time I finished.

Today I plan on doing the school open house with the kids and then a good scrub of the bathrooms upstairs and down.

I think if it's the type of exercise that I HAVE to do anyway I'll be more motivated to get it done.

Stay dedicated--even if you're having a bad day!!! It's all worth it in the end!

Sounds like everybody has their start of the weekend plans down. I'm just trudging along, the darn scale is all over the place, I'm up today. I think I'll go buy a tape measurer this weekend to give me something else to obsess over when the scale is being stubborn. Have a good day.

Re: Roll Call - Friday 08/24/2007

TGIF!! This morning I got a rate sheet for the YMCA. Dh and I used to belong, but we downgraded to a single membership and now I'm looking into upgrading to a family membership. We used to have so much fun playing raquetball. They have childcare there, so maybe, just maybe, we can do it again.

I did a bad thing this week. I bought a 1lb bag of almonds two days ago and they're almost gone. They will be gone by this afternoon! I know better, I really do. I know that I don't have much control around nuts, and yet I eat them anyway. Gotta work on that.

Happy Friday!

Re: Roll Call - Friday 08/24/2007

Goooood morning, all!

Well, yesterday was ANOTHER disaster. I had a full two hours of utter despair ("we will NEVER have a kitchen again!") and tears and frustration. Luckily, it passed. Even though we MAY never have a plumbed kitchen again........(I washed dishes in the bathtub last night - now there's an experience!)

And for the second day in a row, I didn't eat a lot. Under 1100 calories, I think. It's just hard to put food together when your kitchen is split between the living room, dining room, and porch.

HOWEVER, last night I had a burst of late-night energy and cleaned and moved a few things around and cleared off a few spaces, and now I have all of the foods I need in close proximity, WITH clean pots,pans and dishes, so hopefully I'll be able to prepare more food today.

Anyway, back to the kitchen salt mines this morning. I'm feeling positive and full of energy, so wish us luck!
