Doing Well

Hi all! i'm at my sister's house and so i figured i would post. i'm doing pretty well. Jeremy and i went for an hour walk yesterday and i decided that i actually like walking on my street. Granted there are no sidewalks or anything because i live in BFE but it's all up and down hill-ey and it's good to have the kind of variety. I've been drinking water and lots of it. Marlana and i are going to go for a walk after i get done fixing my Ipod here.

I went to bunco that my mom goes to last night (she's in Denver visiting my uncle so i went in her place) and i gotta tell you i wasn't all that good....but....that's okay.

Hope everyone's weekend goes okay.

Right now....

i don't really care! I'm having the most god-awful morning you could imagine. We're going to trial, we have nothing in stock, everyone is bitching at everyone. Its a horrible place to be. So I did the only logical thing I could think of. I went downstairs to CVS and bought a 20oz of Mt. Dew (like joanie puts it, its my heroine) and a 10-pack of mini Milky Ways. Which I did the right thing by buying the minis - so good on me for that! LOL!

But seriously its THAT's bad.

4-hour drive

so after i leave work today i'll be in the car for 4 hours driving to louisville. i'm planning to not stop during the drive - so i'm not drinking any water after noon because i'm hoping to leave by 2:30. i've already had a liter of water today ... but i'm looking at my empty water bottle feeling a little sad. and thirsty! i miss my water already.

giddy like a school girl!

i did it. i've been working at this weight-loss thing for 9 months. i did really well at first, then i kinda went lax for a couple months - i didn't really gain anything back, but i stopped losing. and now i'm back at it, and all is good. so good, in fact, that today i hit the 50 pound mark! i've lost 51 pounds since june. seriously, so excited i can't even talk about it. 51 pounds. i'm impressed with myself.

Bad Idea!

Ok, so this is so hard being a teacher and drinking this much water! I can't just say hey kids I have to pee! I have to keep getting teachers to come cover my room so I can go to the bathroom!

Conversations & Last Night

Our conversation this morning:

Me: "OUCH"
Boz: (calling up from the basement): "What happened?"
Me: "i sat down"

Just let me say, i had an INCREDIBLE workout last night! I'm so glad to be back into it! My focus last night was on my upper body. After completing that I was feeling really good (arms were SORE! but still good). So I decided to run. I ran a mile, like I did the night before. Only this time I knocked off about 2 minutes!! I ran the mile in 11:17. :o) GO ME! For whatever reason I figured I'd do some light work on my lower body. Apparently it must not have been as *light* as I thought. When i worked up this morning I was very much aware of my bum and the pain that was in it. ........ I was my own pain in the butt! LOL! I just came up with that. I'm a hoot. I must have pulled something, or came close to is as its still quite sore. When I told Boz this morning that "I sat down" he thought it was the funniest thing ever.

I might be taking it easy tonight!

My water intake is a little better than it has been. For breakfast I had a banana smoothie (home made), when I got to work I had my oatmeal. Around 11:30 I had a yogurt and a mini bag of baked potatoes chips. Lunch will be a lean cuisine b/c I didn't have time to make lunch. And who knows what's for dinner. We talked about doing chicken but unless Boz remembered to take it out of the freezer, we may not.

Getting Tripped up Already

Okay so, i was all gung ho starting out exercising more than i have been and stuff...then my kid gets sick and i can't do it tuesday and yesterday, Jeremy and i walked for 50 minutes (he was in the stroller) i figured, he's sick, i'll bundle him up and all he has to do is sit there. We actually had a good time. Jon and I also talked about it and i think i'm going to switch my off day to Wednesday because he would like to walk with Jeremy and i when he can and Saturday and Sunday are the only days he can...so i say, good for Jon!
