Tanya's road to goal

It's been a long time

2010-04-20T20:30:00.000-07:00

Well I am finally back. I gave birth to my beautiful son Tre Henare on June 4th, 2009.

I am still trying to lose the baby weight I gained, well soon I guess it won't be considered babyweight. I gained around 50lbs when pregnant. I think the highest I hit was 222, the highest I have ever weighed which was scaring. I manged to lose 30 lbs right away and then but 10 of them back on. I rejoined ww meetings in January but have somehow only managed to lose 7lbs and in the last month I proceed to gain 3.5 of that back. I am currently sitting at 197.5 but I am determind to get the weight off.

These days I don't have much time for excerise Tre keeps me on my toes. He is crawling, pulling himself up on everying and attempting to walk. So right now I am concentrating on eating right and trying to drink more water.

I'm sorry

2009-02-11T10:18:00.001-08:00

I know I have been so bad at updating lately, it has been months. Well I am now almost 6 months pregnant, can't believe how fast it has gone by. I am feeling pretty good now that I am over the horrible all day sickness I had, even with that I still managed to put on 20lbs already. I am really looking forward to getting back to weight watchers once I have the baby.

We are going for our 3-d ultrasound this weekend, I am really looking forward to hopefully finding out the sex. I am sure its a boy, but my husband says girl. I think I will win.

I have been struggling with quitting smoking due to a lot of family stress, I go on the patch for a few weeks and think I am done then I end up smoking for a day or two. I am really trying to kick the habit before I hit 7 months though because I know that is when the babies lung start to devolp and is the worst for smoking. I am really doing my best. I guess that is all for now.

2008-11-20T10:37:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't been updating as much as usual. This was supposed to be my baby blog not really working out that way. I am feeling a little bit better these days. Still a bit sick to my stomach but no throwing up. I was offically 3 months on Friday and the doctors have told I am due on May 29th. I have heard the heartbeat a bunch of times. Its was really cool. I am still working on quitting smoking and having the occasional slip up. But I am really hard at it and I know it will happen.

I went shopping last night, all my clothes are too tight now. So I went to motherhood maternity. I bought 3 pairs of pants, two sweaters and a winter jacket for $250. So did pretty good. But that is all for me for now.

Update

2008-11-04T11:26:00.001-08:00

Well I am now 11 weeks pregnant. The baby is due on May 29th. I am starting to feel a bit better not throwing up as much as before. But now I am trying to be more careful with what I eat don't want to put on too much weight.

My doctor put me on the patch to quit smoking. I wasn't able to do it completly by myself like I had hoped. Sorry I haven't been updating much I have just been so sick.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Morning sickness

2008-10-06T09:00:00.000-07:00

It sucks, I feel horrible and i have for the last week. I have tried everything I can think of, I don't want to take any drugs I know they say its safe but I still don't trust it. But I am not sure what do next. I have tried 7-up, gingerale, crackers, sipping water, ginger tea. I am just hoping that our vacation isn't going to be ruinned because of it. I just wish I could find something that works even a little bit.

2008-10-01T09:09:00.000-07:00

I am going for an ultrasound next week, so they can fiqure out my exact due date. I am suffering from some really bad morning sickness these days, but everyone tells me that is a good sign so I will deal with. Seems like 7-up or ginger ale and soda crackers are the only thing that makes its better, but I am worried about too much salt and sugar.

Told my doctor I am still smoking he suggested to get quit within the next few weeks. So I am doing my best I am down to 3-4 a day so I think that is pretty good. I am hoping to be quite really soon. I think the transitation from 3 to none, any suggestions would be greatly aprpecaited.

Thoughts?

2008-09-30T14:14:00.000-07:00

I am thinking of making this into a baby blog until I get back to weight watchers, what do you all think?

Today I have my appointment with my doctor, I am going back in November for my physical. I go next week for my ultrasound so they can pin down my due date. We are pretty sure I am 4 weeks along but I could be more.

I am also working on quitting smoking. As of right now I am down from half a pack a day to 4 smokes a day. But I want to fully quit within the next two weeks. But I am not sure how to go down from the 4 smokes to nothing. Last time I quit I did by the patch, which I know isn't save since I am pregnant.

Weight Watcher Hitaus

2008-09-29T08:17:00.000-07:00

Well we found out on Saturday that I am pregnant. So I will be taking a hitatus from WW because of that. It was a big suprise since I was on the pill. It was a big shock but I am actually really excited about it right now. I did weigh in at 166 on friday, this morning I was down to 165, so I guess I made my Hawaii goal after all.

The best laid plans

2008-09-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

Last night things didn't excatly go as planned but I am okay with that. Got home a bit late from work. We ended up having dinner as soon as we got home, I usually prefer to workout and then have dinner, that way I can relax after dinner. Just as we were finishing dinner my brother came back with the twins. Asked me to babysit for an hour and I said sure, I don't get to see them that often. So I didn't get a normal workout, but Manning is now running around like crazy, so I spent almost half an hour with him chasing me around the house and then I was chasing so I would say I did get some excerise doing that.

After they left I just watched some tv on laptop, got caught up on 90210 I missed the last couple episodes. I am going to try and have a workout today after work. Weigh in is tomorrow morning and I am sure I will see a loss.

Hump day!!!!!!!!

2008-09-24T11:42:00.000-07:00

I snuck a look at the scale this morning, I am sitting at 169. I am sure I will be at 167 by Friday or at least 167.5. Then hopefully next week I will be down another pounds to 166 and then when I weigh in right before Hawaii I will be 165. Then I am only 3lbs above my weight watchers goal again. That will be awesome. I am hoping my 30 minute bikini ready dvd gets here this week, at least that way I will be able to do it for a week or two before we leave. They recommend doing it 3 times a week, which I think I can totally handle. I might still do some weights and stuff on off days.

We have no plans tonight, so I am going to get a workout in right after work. I am still continuing to take the stairs everywhere which I am sure is helping, maybe it will even tone up my legs a bit. I wore boots to work today since its raining and my feet are killing me. These are my boots from last year, so I don’t really know why they are sore. Only thing I can think of it might possibly be that I have been living in sandals and thongs all summer. I don’t really have a big heels on my sandals. Hopefully my feet will get accustomed to them soon. I need a new pair of short boots and knee high boots(if I can find a pair that actually zip ups), but I am going to wait until we go to Hawaii to get them. Only two and half more weeks and I can deal with what I have right now. Sorry for all my rambling hope everyone had a great day!

2008-09-23T08:47:00.000-07:00

I didn't have time for a work out last night, I don't think I will have time for a workout tonight. Its been busy, busy busy lately at night. I have started taking the stairs everywhere I go at workout know so at least I am getting a bit of excerise each day. I am eating well, staying on plan, taking it one day at a time.

After weigh in last week I have 3lbs to lose because we headed to Hawaii and 3 weeks to do. I am really hoping to do it. I am going to work hard, drink lots of water. All I can do is my best, I am going to try and not be disapponited if it doesn't happen.

I finally got to wear my new Roxy Ugg Boots today, they are so comfy. I wore them with a jean skirt, black turtle neck. I think I look pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Off to drink some water, I hope everyone has a great on plan day.

All moved in

2008-09-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

I moved at work from the third to the second floor. Pretty much all of today has just been settling in. My new area is pretty good, I am still by a windown which is awesome. Its a lot quietter so I think I will get more work done now. Helathwise I am feeling a lot better. Still not great but I am getting there. I probably won't have anytime for excerise today, I have a work dinner tonight. But I have been running up and down the stairs all day so I don't feel too guilty. We are going to The Pantry tonight, of course there is no nutritonal info, so I am pretty sure I am going to have Chicken Fingers and Casear salad.

Weigh In

2008-09-19T07:51:00.000-07:00

Well today was my offical weigh in I was up 1lbs. I would have rather been done, but I am sure its from being sick. So I was 3 weeks to lose 3lbs. I hope I can do it. I am feeling a little bit better but still pretty crappy. I am hoping to be able to try to actually excerise tomorrow, even if its just a quick one. I am hoping as soon as I am excerising regularly again the weight will melt off.

Looks like I will be missed the weight watchers GTG this weekend, I am just not up to, this bug kicked the crap out of me this week. So I think I need some rest in relaxation. The only plans I have are to go to the movies tonight because I promised DH we could go see The Dark Knight finally.

Cranky

2008-09-18T08:37:00.000-07:00

I am in a bad mood this morning, its just one of those days. I had a bad sleep last night and I am still not feeling good. I took a look at the scale this morning I am sitting back at 170, which means I have gained 2.5 from last week. Its only three weeks to Hawaii I don't think I will hit my goal. I know I am most likely up from being sick, but it still pisses me off. I have been working so hard. On top of it I really miss Nanny today, I don't know why but I do and it sucks.

Oh then yesterday I was downstairs having lunch and the cafetria lady came up to me and was like a little bridie told me something about you. I was like oh yeah. She is like I heard you started smoking again, I am so disapponited in you. I was like yeah I did start smoking again fulltime when my grandma passed away. She was like oh sorry. I was kind of irratied it, why is it anyones business but mine if I started smoking again. Second of all I can't believe people have nothing better to do with there time but discuss how I started smoking again.

Okay well I gueess I better get back to work, sorry for all the whining.

Back to work

2008-09-17T07:42:00.000-07:00

I am back at work today, still not feeling the best, but better then I was. I ended up working from home yesterday, I was just way too sick to even come in. But at least they let me work from home and with my laptop I was able to work at home from bed. I haven't been able to excerise all week from feeling so sick. The scale says I am up 2lbs. So I am trying to get plenty of water and tea in me, I am doing my best to stay on plan. I would be happy to stay the same this week. That still gives me 2 and half more weeks to get down to 165.

Sick

2008-09-15T09:51:00.000-07:00

It looks like I caught a bug, woke up saturday morning feeling horrible. I did my best eating wise this weekend, I didn't go over my points at all for once in a long time. Since I was sick DH went and rented me first season of gossip girl on DVD. I loved it was great and I am addicted to now. I didn't excerise at all this weekend, I am actually home sick today, didn't get much sleep last night. So there was no way I could go to work today, I am hoping to be back at work tomorrow. The plan for today is just to rest in bed, I am watching Season One of one tree hill. I am just going to get lots of fluids going and eat well.

Weigh In

2008-09-12T07:39:00.001-07:00

I am down to 167.4 this week. So only 2lbs away from my Hawaii goal, I am sure I will reach it. I am so excitied for our trip. I am getting closer to my goal weight also. Tonight we are going to see The Dark knight. I have heard it was really good so I am looking forward to it, it will be nice to go out DH we haven't been out in awhile. He has been so cranky since he got his widsom tooth out, I am trying to be nice and supporitve but it is really starting to get to me.

I am so glad its Friday its been a long week. I just ordered bikini body workout that I am going start using for toning, I am still going to continue with my biggest loser workouts and weights. I have started thinking about going jogging again. It really tones up my legs I have noticed.

I have my friends going away dinner tomorrow night, I think I have decided on the tortellini in creamy tomotao sauce.

Almost over

2008-09-11T10:07:00.000-07:00

I am feeling really good today. I am going to have a rocking day on plan, I am going to excerise as soon as I got home. I have a lot to do tonight, but I am sure I can sneak in a quick 15 mintue cardio max workout.

We are going to Boston Pizza Saturday night for dinner, for a friend's going away party. She is off to Europe for a few months. We haven't been there in ages for dinner. So I actually looked up the nutritonal info for once. I found out my favourite dinner is 24 points for a half order holy crap. I would still like to get pasta so I am deciding between Tortellini with creamy totmato sauce or penne with creamy tomotao sauce. They are both 13 points, which I didn't think was too bad for dinner out.

Well I hope you all have an amazing on plan day.

Doing my best

2008-09-10T20:32:00.000-07:00

Last day two days have been really good for staying op and eating well. As for excerising that hasn't happened. Yesterday we got home late, then by the time we made dinner, there wasn't much time for anything else. Today I only did a quick less than 10 mintue workout, I had time since I got home early. But I was just feeling lazy and tired. Bad on my behalf. But at least I am eating well and drinking lots of water. tomorrow is a new day and I will workout as soon as I get home from work. I have to make time for it now. My goal for when we leave to Hawaii is to be at 165. Then get back to my weight watchers goal of 162. My personal goal is 155-158. I have never able to get that low and stay there so I would really love to. I really want to tone up so I look good in my bathing suit in Hawaii. I have been on too many vacation were I have felt uncomfortable, don't want that to happen this time.

Great OP day

2008-09-09T08:18:00.000-07:00

I had a great OP day yesterday, I stayed within in all my points. I had a 15 mintue workout, drank lots of water and green tea. What I love about weight watchers is that I was able to have ice cream for a treat last night while watching The Hills. I didn't feel quilty because I had the points for it. I got some good news at work, we are being taken over I was worried about my job. But I found out I am being transfered to the department I really wanted, I am so excited. Looks like everything is really falling into place. I hope everyone has a great on plan day too.

Back on track

2008-09-08T07:35:00.000-07:00

Eating wise the weekends have been pretty rough. I had mcdonalds twice this weekend. DH had his wisdome teeth out on friday and didn't go well. He was getting sick off just soup so he wanted to try some chicken nuggets, because they were soft. I know just because he had mcdonalds didn't mean i had to but I scummbed. I did work out Saturday morning and I spent 2 hours tearing apart boxes saturday night that was quite the work out also. I am taking things slow excerise wise this week. I am doing 10 mintue cardio burn dvd today and I am going to lift some weights. I am getting back into it slowly this week to get my body used to it. I think I might actually try running again. I have a hard time with because I am still smoking yes I know bad me. But at least I have started to cut down again. I am at about 9 a day, right after Nanny died I was smoking almost a pack a day. As for that I am still having a rough time and I miss her a lot but the pain is getting a bit better. Just like weight watchers, I am taking it one day at a time.

I'm in love

2008-09-05T20:53:00.000-07:00

Did haven't too great a week this week. it started last week with me going to party, drinking way too much. I was hung over on Sunday so made ba d choices that day. Monday tried to get back on plan but still not feeling good. I tried to make up for the rest of the week, but I was still up 3lbs at weigh in. Its 5 weeks to Hawaii and I am hoping to be down to 165, so I really need to work hard.

I feel in love with this dress from the Lauren Conrad collection, but its over $200. I am hoping to get it made but can't find a seamstress to do it. Let me know what you think.

Bathing Suit Shopping

2008-09-01T10:56:00.001-07:00

I went bathing suit shopping and I actually bought two bikinis. I have never owned bikinis before. I am pretty excited about it, I also bought two swim skirts to go over them, my upper thighs still need some toning up. So this week i am going to do some pilates, and lots of leg lifts hopefully I will see some results. But I am really excited about our trip to Hawaii now, 6 weeks and counting. I was hoping to be back at goal by then. It could happen, I am sitting at 168 right now. So if I lose a pound a week, but I will be happy to get down to 165. I am so glad to be out of the 170s.

Weigh In

2008-08-15T08:58:00.000-07:00

I weighed in the this morning, I am down to 168.8, so happy. I am finally going to get back to goal. I am having major stomach problems right now, I am hoping I get better tonight. We have a busy weekend planned, have to drop my parents off at the cruise terminal tomorrow. So we will see how it goes.

Burnt out

2008-08-08T12:06:00.000-07:00

I am feeling so burnt right now. Its like everything has finally caught up with me. We had sushi for dinner last night I stepped on the scale this morning it said 173. 5. Which means I up 3.8 lbs from last friday. I am sure some of it is salt from last night. But still not great work on my behalf. I am going to work hard this week and hopefully get back down to 169.8 by next friday. Its only 8 weeks until we got to hawaii and I want to get back down to 165 by then.

2008-08-04T21:02:00.001-07:00

I weighed in last friday, I was down to 169.8. I am glad to be back to the 160's but think it might just be due to not eating much. This weekend I haven't stopped eating so it may be back on by the end of the weekend. But I am doing the best I can.

2008-07-30T08:20:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't been here for awhile. I haven't really had time or been in the mood. I also haven't been on weight watchers for two weeks. I haven't gained any weight though. It looks like I have stayed the same, I might even be down this week. I would be happy to get into the 160's this week but we will see what happens. I haven't excerised at all in two weeks either. There just hasn't been any time. Last week it was making all the arangments. This week its been back to work and trying to help clear out Nanny's stuff.

2008-07-23T21:40:00.000-07:00

Nanny passed away monday afternoon at 3:20pm. The doctors told me mom it wasn't looking good early Monday morning, but she would be alive for at least another 48 hours. So my mom decided not to tell me, I then got a call at 3:10pm to get to the hospital, but I didn't make it in time. I feel horrible right now. I wish I had been there for her. The service is on Saturday, my mom and I are having to do everything since my grandpa can't handle it. Right now I should be in bed since I have to drive Battery to work at 6, but I can't sleep. i have started smoking like crazy again, I think I have gained at least 5lbs this week so far.

Doing my best.

2008-07-21T13:20:00.000-07:00

My nanny is not doing good at all. They are unable to treat her for what she has, so in a sense she is dying but we have no time period for how long she will last. I am trying to spend as much time with her as possible. Even though its just sitting there and holding her hand. I am still doing my best to eat well but excerising isn't really happening. My goal for this week is to go for a walk every night after dinner. Even if its just to the track and walking around for 30 mintues. It will be better than nothing. I would really love to break into the 160's this week, if it doesn't happen thats okay I am really stressed out right now. I am getting unexpected TOM's and raging headaches. My goal is to get through all of this and not gain weight, I think I can do it.

Weigh in

2008-07-18T07:58:00.001-07:00

Well its been a really rough week with Nanny in the hospital, it really wasn't looking good all week up until yesterday. Yesterday she seemed a bit better so that is good, we are hoping she will pull through. With everything going on I still tried my best to eat right but only got one day of excerise in and that was monday. I did my weigh in yesterday morning since we had a dinner out last night and I lost 0.4. Which took me back down to 170.8. I am getting really close to the 160's. I am hoping I will have more time to excerise this week, but it just depends on how Nanny does.

2008-07-15T09:38:00.000-07:00

I am doing my best to just keep going, I am taking one day at a time. My nanny isn't doing too good right now. So we are just hoping she pulls through but no one really knows. Other than that I am doing my best to stay on plan and get some excerise. Yesterday I did 20 mintue biggest loser. Tonight we will be up at the hospital, so I am going to try and fit a walk in after dinner. I am having some issues at work to with a guy that works here. He freaked on me on Friday so I told my boss, she told me to tell HR. Now they are having a meeting with him today about it. I am hoping he doesn't freak on me again after this. Well thats me for today.

Weigh in

2008-07-11T07:38:00.001-07:00

I am down to 171.2 this morning, which means I am down 1.2 today. I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was 172. I had some chips and choclate last night so I fiqured I might just stay at 172, so I was suprised to be down almost another pound this morning. 160's here I come.

Busy Busy

2008-07-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

I had a super crazy busy day at work yesterday. I worked my bum off and it was great because it made the day go by really fast. Also Eb Games finally called me back, they will be more than happy to give me a refund so I am going down there tonight to get my money back. After that its home for a quick workout maybe only a 10 or 15 mintue one. Sean & Tina and the kids are coming over for a family BBQ because nanny is going into the hospital on Friday. I am still upset about her but trying to think postive. I feel like I am making really good progress this week and I am looking forward to some sort of a loss. Well thats it for me today, I hope everyone has a great day.

Crappy horrible day

2008-07-08T09:38:00.001-07:00

I had a really bad day yesterday, I had a meeting with my boss she doesn't feel I am working up to my potential like I have done in previous months so that was a blow, so I am going to have to work harder than I ever had before to prove myself. Then I got a call from my mom, my grandma went to see her specalist the drugs aren't working, so she is going into the hospital on Friday for up to 10 days. They want to montior and give her the medication through IV to see if that works. If it doesn't we don't know how much longer she has. So I was really upset and was crying at work which I hate doing, I don't like people seeing that side of me. I am throwing myself into my work today to distract and so I don't really think about that. I am proud of myself because with all that going on I didn't turn to comfort food. I stayed within my points, drank my water and did 10 mintue workout.

2008-07-07T08:03:00.001-07:00

Well I am back to it again today. This weekend I had TOM and really bad cramps, so I spent most of it in bed. We went out to the pub Saturday night to watch the UFC fight I only had one beer. I ordered Pasta for dinner but it wasn't very good so I only ended up eating half of it and then I ended up getting it for free since I didn't like it. I didn't do any excerise all weekend either since I was feeling good. I am back to it today though I am staying on plan, drinking 4 liters of water and I am going to do my 20 mintue cardio max after work today. The Bachlorette finale is on tonight but we have plans so I am taping it. I think I will save it to watch on the weekend and that way I can some popcorn or something while I watch it. Other than that I am feeling good and hoping for a loss this week. Time to get this butt in gear again.

Last night I went and added new songs to my MP3 player, took it downstairs and tried to turn it on nothing happened it was compeltey dead. I was so upset, this is my second MP3 player my last one died after a year and same thing with this one. I emailed tech support and they said since its out of warranty they can't do anything for me. So I tried this morning and it went on so I plugged it in to charge. But I think when I get home I am going to take all my songs off it and put it on the computer just in case it goes down again and doesn't come up.

Weigh in

2008-07-04T07:47:00.000-07:00

I was up a pound this morning. I am not too impressed but I knew it was coming I had a bad week and then we had sushi for dinner last night. So it is possible that it was salt but I am not too upset about it. I am going to work extra hard this week and I am sure it will come off next week. Now I am just hoping the sun comes out over the weekend.

2008-07-03T07:39:00.000-07:00

Well tomorrow if weigh in day. I am hoping to stay the same after all the bad eating this week. I did good yesterday I got in three liters of water and stayed on my points and I got in 10 mintues of biggest loser workout. I also bought the my weight loss coach game for the Nintendo DS so it had me doing lunges, crunches and pushups also. So I think in all I had about 20 mintues of workout. I am just going to do my best today drink lots of water and whatever happens tomorrow happens. If its a gain I am not going to be too upset because I did have a really bad week.

2008-07-02T09:11:00.001-07:00

I am so off track the last few days. But I am going to work really hard today and tomorrow hopefully I will stay the same on Friday. If I don't and I go up its really my own fault from all the extra points. I went over by 4 on Monday and over by 8 yesterday. But yesterday we were at a Canada Day celebration I had a couple Smirnoff ices plus a donair which was the healthiest thing I could find. I am a little bit pissed off at eb games right now, we have spent plenty of money with them over the years. We put a second hand game from them on Sunday we get it home and it doesn't work it starts and then freezes so I take it back on Monday and ask for me money back. They said no we can offer you store credit, I was like no I want my money back so I can purchase it somewhere else. If they have another copy available I would have taken it. The guy that was helping was helpful at all and I found him a bit rude. I tried reasoning with him and then I finally asked for a manager. I was told there no manager available and he would try to get one on the phone. He called on other store asked for the manager there was told there wasn't one there. I said well what are you going to do to help me. He was like I can offer you store credit, Battery finally stepped in at that time was like you sold us a defective product give us our money back. He was like no. Not I am sorry sir but now, Battery at that point lost his temper said what about our f-ing consumer rights. I then told Battery to calm down and still didn't get anywhere. So I then told the guy to screw himself and walked out. I know I shouldn't have lost my temper but I really felt like I was being mistreated. I have now called there head office and I am waiting to hear back from them but definitely not a good customer service experience

My new dress

2008-06-29T20:36:00.000-07:00

Let me know what you think but I love it.

Great weekend

2008-06-29T20:32:00.000-07:00

I spent yesterday shopping. I bought a new dress and skirt at Reitmans. Then I went to the mall met Mairi-Claire and her baby for lunch. Then I was headed on my way out and I went to Le Chateau to look for a jean skirt and found this really nice blue dress. Not something I can usually pull off but I tired on and really like it. I will post a picture a little bit later. I love it and feel realy good in it. Then I headed to Battery's work and we sat there and had a couple drinks, came home and relaxed. Today we headed out to my brothers house to see the boys. I got there and he was like what are you doing here we are just leaving. I was like I called yesterday but it seems my sister in law didn't tell him I was coming. So we only stayed for a bit, then went out for lunch. Tonight I had coffee with lanna one of my best friends that I haven't seen in about 6 months we had a chance to catch up. She has had a lot going on and that is why I haven't seen her so she said its nothing against me. Which is good to know. Only bad thing from this weekend is I haven't had any excerise at all. But I will be back at it tomorrow hoping for a loss this week.

Weigh in

2008-06-27T07:28:00.000-07:00

I am up 0.6 this week. I was hoping to lose but I am going to try to not take to hard. I have still lost 3.2lbs this month. I think that is pretty good. The last 10-15lbs are always the hardest to lose so I am just going to keep at it and hope I see a loss next week. My plans for this weekend, I am going shopping tomorrow with my mom need to get a couple more skirts and Battery is working. Then Sunday I am supposed to have lunch with one of my girlfriends that hasn't been around that much so hopefully she keeps our plans this time. Then monday I am working which sucks but at least I have tuesday off. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Feeling better

2008-06-26T07:30:00.000-07:00

I am feeling better about things this morning. I know that I am doing my best by excersing, drinking my water and eating on plan. Today is going to be a strange day Battery is working until 5 and I am off at 4 as usual. So I am going to go hang out at his work until he is done I brought a book. So we probably won't get home until 5:30 or 6:00pm. So I am going to have my workout then and have dinner. Tonight I am going to do the cardio max 20 mintue workout. Next week I think I will be able to do level 1 & 2 for the power sculpt. But I think I need another week at level one for cardio max.

Frustration

2008-06-25T19:41:00.000-07:00

I can tell by looking at myself in the mirror I have gained weight. My stomach is swollen too, I just don't what I did to cause the weight gain. I did got over my points by 3 on monday, but since then I have been excerising, I have been eating on plan and drink tons of water. In fact today I had four liters of water. I am just finding it so hard and frustating, truthfully I feel like I big fat big. I have excatly one day until weigh in, well on day and two nights. I know gaining every now and then happens. But it usually only happens around my period, which is still a week and half away. I tried talking to Battery about it but he just says your are beautiful you aren't fat what are you talking about it. It is really sweet for him to say but I am just upset right now. I did workout tonight and I am going to do another 20 mintue workout. But I am not looking forward to weigh in at all this week. I am sure I am going to have a gain, I am not going to be happy about it.

2008-06-25T07:55:00.000-07:00

I did the 20 mintue workout last night and then I helped in the garden, we were actually out there for an hour and half getting all my grandmas flowers ready. I fiqured I was doing really good until I stepped on the scale this morning, I am still at 173 WTF? I have been working hard, eating on plan, drinking my water. I am just hoping it goes down by friday morning weigh in. I can deal with staying the same this week I know if happens but to go up almost 2lbs is just crazy too me. Well I am going to try not to stress, either said then done. I am just going to keep eating on my plan, have my workouts and drink lots of water and I guess I will see what happens. I drank gartorade on the weekend to help with my stomach problems and maybe that is what did it but I fiqured it would be out of my system by now.
HTabbey-There are differnt purses by Roxy I own 4 Roxy purses, here is a link to the last one I bought.

2008-06-24T07:44:00.000-07:00

I did workout yesterday, so thats two days in a row. But I only did another 10 mintue workout, starting out slow since its been too long. I am thinking today I am ready for the 20 mintue workout though. I ended up going out for Thai food for lunch yesterday, I went over my points my 3. But I am just going to work hard this week, drink lots of water and excerise. Hopefully I will see a loss this week. I need to loss another 1.2 to get down to 170. I am hoping to get there this week, but I am not going to be really upset if that doesn't happen. I am trying to just follow the plan and see what happens. I find if I put too much pressure on myself and I don't make the weight loss goals I want I get upset and end up binging. Other than that my new Roxy purse arrived yesterday I love it, I bought to take on the plan for our trip to Hawaii, however its not as a big as thought it would so not sure if its going to work for the plane. I need to fit two mp3 players, passports, wallet and nintendo ds in there. So I will see if I can get it all in. I also found this Roxy passport holder that I am watching on ebay. When it comes to Roxy I go a bit crazy, I love love love it.

2008-06-23T07:37:00.000-07:00

Today I am feeling the best I have in almost two weeks and its sunny yeah! My plan today is to eat healthy and I am acutally thinking of going for a bit of a walk at lunch, I will see how I feel then. I am wearing heels so I don't think I could go too far but it might be nice to get out of the office for a little bit. I am making butter chicken for dinner tonight so I am looking forward to that. I am going to do my 20 mintues cardiomax after work. Battery said he is going to join for that but I will see what happens. He always says he is going to workout with me but never does. I don't blame him he gets a pretty good workout from his job anyways. Unlike me, I sit on my bum for most of the day. The most excerise I ever get is going up and down the stairs to get coffee. Other than that I am usually sitting here at my desk typing away.

Getting There

2008-06-22T10:37:00.000-07:00

I went back to the doctors yesterday to talk him about the acid in my stomach. He seems to think its just the end of the stomach virus I had. He gave me some sample pills to help with it and it seems to be working. I took one yesterday morning and one this morning. He said if its still going on by tuesday to come back and they will go from there. I got early this morning cleaned and did the laundry, so we could have a relaxing day. I just finshed the biggest loser cardio max workout, I only did the 10 mintue one and it wiped me out. Since its my first workout in two weeks I don't want to over due. My plan for the rest of day is to help my parents with the garden and getting the flowers in. Then Battery and I are going to grab donairs for lunch. I haven't had on in forever and I still have 25 flex left so I thought I would treat myself. Then I am playing on watching some more on American Dreams on tv. I just bought in on DVD and I love it. I just wish they would realse the next two seasons. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Weigh In

2008-06-20T07:38:00.001-07:00

I weighed in this morning, first step on the scale I was 170.8, second time I was 171.2 so I took that weigh in. I am happy that I lost something at all.

Suprised

2008-06-19T20:18:00.000-07:00

I didn't do a workout tonight, I was feeling so wiped out when I got home. Dh wasn't feeling good so I was taking care of him. I ran out and got him A & W for dinner, I ended up having some of his poutine and onion rings. I didnt have anything else for dinner so hopefully it won't affect my weigh in too much. I know I won't lose any weight this week anyways with being so sick. I am feeling way better just really tired and I seem to have a lot of acid in my stomach. So I am hoping that passes soon. I have drank a lot of ginger ale in the last week so i think that might be it. I will see how I do and if its still bad on Saturday I will go to the doctor. I went to see my best friend tonight and little Quinn. He is sooo cute, he was asleep the whole time I was there but I help him for about 45 mintues while he slept I will post a picture in a couple days once its uploaded. He is sooo tiny, 6lbs the same size my nephew was when he was born but he isnt very long, so i found he super small. But it was to hold a little baby. DH didn't come because he wasn't feeling good, when I got home he told me he put me the boots I was looking at ebay. I said but we can't afford them and he was like that we will fiqure it out. He said that I really deserved, I am happy just hope they fit because sometimes I have problems getting boots to fit over my calfs since they are kind of big. But I think it will keep me on track since they were so expensive and really want them to fit. Well I am headed to bed now, I will post my weigh in tomorrow.

2008-06-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

I think I am pretty much better now. So I am looking forward to actually having a workout tonight, I am going to take it slow but I think it will be good to get off my butt. Work has been crazy this week but I brought me mp3 player to keep more focused so I can get through everything. I have decided aganist getting those boots they are just too much money, with us going to Hawaii we don't have a lot of extra income right now. So instead I have ordered two sex and the city books from chapters as a treat for myself. Well that is all for me today.

Getting there

2008-06-18T08:24:00.000-07:00

I am sick feeling a bit sick but not as bad. I ended up living work early yesterday because by the afternoon I was so sick I was almost throwing up. I did mange to have a porkchop and some crackers for dinner so that is good. This moring I woke up a bit sick to my stomach so I had some crackers for breakfast and I am feeling okay now. I down one liter already of water already so that is good. I think if I stay the same this week I will be happy. Tonight we have to mail some packages to New Zealand for Battery's mom and family. We are going to send them by boat but still hoping that they don't cost too much. Also I found these really cute Ugg boots on ebay I am thinking of getting them but worried about them fitting over my calfs. The person told me they are 37 cms so I guess I need measure my leg, but I don't have a tape measure. Here is a picture of them what do you all think

On the mend

2008-06-17T08:59:00.000-07:00

I think I am finally getting better. I am still a bit quesy today but not bad. I stepped on the scale this morning I am up 1bs, so not bad. I haven't really been counting points all weekend. I have just been working on getting myself better. I am going to try and have a workout tonight. I am going to try the 20 mintue biggest loser cardio max. I am hoping to get all the way through but I am feeling weak still so we will see what happens. I would love to see a loss this week but I am not going to put too much pressure on myself. I am just going to make the best choices I can try and get excerise in and drink lots of water and tea.

2008-06-16T07:55:00.000-07:00

Well I am back at work today. I am feeling okay still a bit queasy but way better than I was feeling. I am going to do my best to get through the whole day. But I have let me boss know I may need to leave early depending on how I was feeling. My goals today are to eat lightly, have a lot of fluids and hopefully get back to my normal self soon. I am going to skip the excerise for a couple more days to see how I do.

Anyone want to shoot me?

2008-06-14T15:16:00.000-07:00

Just when I thought I was getting better. I woke up this morning with horrible cramping in my stomach. I then spent most of the morning bonding with my toilet. I went to the doctors today and she said there is a bad bug going around. I can't eat anything I am drinking ginger ale, which I can finally keep down. I just don't get it I was so sick last week and now again with something else. I feel like I have been run over by a truck. I am hoping I feel a bit better tomorrow, otherwise I guess I will be spending fathers day in bed.

I'm back.......

2008-06-13T09:50:00.001-07:00

I finally stayed home sick yesterday, I am feeling a bit better today. I am back at work but thing I will have an early night tonight and hopefully that will cure me. I haven't met Mairi-Claire's baby yet since I have been sick, but she sent me a picture and he is such a cutie! I can't wait to meet him. I had my weigh in this morning and I was down 0.4 I was really surpised. I was hoping the best I could do was stay the same, so I am really happy a lost. My plan is to get fully better over the weekend and then get back into my usually scheudled program next week. Well that is all for me today. Happy Friday everyone.

2008-06-11T07:46:00.000-07:00

I am at work again today, but I am thinking I should have stayed home. I still am not a 100%, I am just going to try to get through the day and do my best. I am going to drink lots of tea and water again to help fight this bug off. I am hoping to feel better by the end of the week so I can go meet the new baby. I am so happy for her, she called me last night for the hospital and she sounds great. She said that she is tired, sore but really happy. She will be released today and she is going to call me tonight. I told her I have a cold, but should be good to go for the weekend.

My mom talked to the family docotor yesterday about my grandma, he said that basically her immune system is eating away at her body, which is causing the lower lung capacity. The pills they have her on is actually to kill her immune system to help her. If it doesn't work not sure what is next. But it has been ordered that we don't see her even if we have sniffles. So I am staying away this week. My grandpa has congestive heart failure, they have him on water pills, but basically they could go at any time or they could live another 10 years. I am thinking postively that they will be here for another 10 years at least.

Its Offical

2008-06-10T08:04:00.000-07:00

I am sick, yesterday I thought I was just super tired. But thismorning I woke up and I had a headache, sore throat and I am coughing. I stepped on a scale to a 2lb gain. I am hoping its just because my body is trying to fight stuff off. I didn't work out last night because I was exhausted. Even though I am sick I am going to try to do some sort of workout. I don't want this whole week to be a write off because I am sick. Today since I am at work my plan is to drink lots of water and tea and try and get better fast. My best friend gave birth to 6lbs one ounce baby boy last night, they name him Quinn. I am so happy for them, but won't be able to visit for a couple days since I am sick. Well enough of my whining I am off to drink some tea.

Monday, Monday

2008-06-09T08:06:00.000-07:00

I am so bloody tired today, I am not sure what is wrong with me. Although we did have a super busy weekend, so that is probably why I am so tired today. I got a good nights sleep but could barley drag myself out of bed. The weather was sunny when I woke up, so I put some sandals on and now i am freezing at the office.

I did track my points for the weekend and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I went over by 4 points which isn't too bad. If I had actually had time to workout on the weekend I would have had that covered by my AP points, but that is okay. Tonight I am going to do my 20 mintue biggest loser workout cardio max. It really kicks me in the butt. Then tomorrow I will go back to jogging and alternate. Not too much else to report, I am hoping today goes by fast.

2008-06-08T18:54:00.001-07:00

I can't believe the weekend is almost over. Its been crazy busy, we just got back from the twins first birthday party. It was fun but Battery missed the cake because he was outside I was pretty upset about it, it was really important to me and he missed. I told him and he apoligzed. The weekend has been really hectic and I am feeling like I am in a bit of a funk, hopefully a good nights sleep will fix that. Eating wise things haven't been great, but I am doing my best. Its been a lot of meals out I am going to calcute it in a mintue. But tomorrow is a new day.

WEIGH IN DAY!!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-06T08:03:00.000-07:00

As of this morning I am now 172.4, I am down 2.6. I was so happy this morning, I guess the working out is really working for me. I had worked out 6 days in a row, last night I just did 10 mintues level 2 cardio max because I was wipped out. But I still got an awesome workout. Tonight I am having a night off and then I will start again tomorrow. The cardio max is defientiley giving me really good results. Tonight Battery and I are going to Quiznos for dinner and then shopping for some water shoes. Tomorrow should be a quiet day at home and Sunday is the twins birthday party. I will post pictures of that. Well I am off to get some work done, hope everyone has a great day.

Keep Moving

2008-06-05T11:15:00.000-07:00

Last night I went for my jog, Battery was tired so I went by myself. First time I made it almost all the way round, second time I walked, then I made it almost all the way around the third time. Fourth time I walked. The last lap I did a half way/half jog one. It was really hard last night though I was really sore still from all the activity this week. Tonight working out will be six days in a row for me. So tomorrow is going to be a night off from excerise for me. I need it I am feeling a bit worn out. But I love how the excerise is making me feel and changing my body so that is also a plus and I think I will be able to keep it up this time. I took a look at the scale yesterday morning and I am down 2lbs this week, I am so happy. Its finally working for me again. TOM is due to tomorrow so I am not expecting to lose anymore between now and then. As long as none of it comes back. I am drinking lots and lots of water so that doesn't happen.

2008-06-03T19:51:00.000-07:00

I am feeling really good being back on plan and excerising with today that is 4 days in a row I have excerised and I am really liking. It was a cold and rainny day here but I forced myself to workout and felt great afterwards. I am think this week I will see a lose of one pound if not more which will be great. I think what makes me frustrated is not seeing any losses which makes me want to over eat. I finally broke out my biggest loser cardio max, I only did the step one 20 mintue workout because I never done it before. It worked me out really hard, I can really feel it in my bum and legs but it was good. I was sweating 5 mintues into it. I am really going to try hard to keep it up. I want to try and go jogging three times a week and do a workout dvd twice a week. I will give myself two days off.

2008-06-02T18:26:00.000-07:00

Well I feel like I had a really good on plan day. I went jogging with Battery when we got home from work. I went around 5 times, first time I walk half then jogged half, then I jogged all the way around, walked all the around, jogged all the way around and walked all the way around once more. I was really happy with my self. The second time jogging around all the way half way through I didn't think I could go anymore but Battery kept telling me I could do it and I did. When we got home we had mango chicken with Casear salad for dinner. It was really good, I have been feeling extra hungry today but I am chalking that up to overeating yesterday. If I want a snack later I am only going to have a popsicle for one point. Battery decided to get on the scale after dinner and connivenced me to do it to. I was sitting at 180, but I am thinking that was due to just having dinner. I don't think its possible I put on an extra 5lbs in the last week. I did pretty good eating wise over the weekend. My plans for tomorrow is 4 liters of water again, to stay on plan and since its supposed to rain here tomorrow I think I will try my 20 mintue biggest loser cardio max dvd.

2008-06-02T07:33:00.000-07:00

I am so tired today, I could of used a day off. Jonathon ended up back in the hospital yesterday so we had Manning again for about 5 hours. Battery and I took him for another long walk and to the playground. I think he really enjoyed himself, my eating wasn't that great yesterday for some reason on Sundays I always seem to eat too much. But at least I got lots of excerise. As long as the weather holds out here today the plan is to go jogging after work. I noticed the jogging and walking is really working on my legs, I can see a differnce right way. Which is awesome because I have always hated my legs, but now my stomach seems to the bigger part so I will have to fiqure out some excerises for that part of my body. I started a challenge on the weight watchers thread which I think will help me. I am running it to October 1st, its called the end of summer challenge so if anyone else wants in just let me know. Well I better get to it, I hope everyone has a good one.

Better Day

2008-05-31T20:40:00.001-07:00

Today has been a really good day. As soon as I got up this morning I went jogging. I jogged around four times. The first time I made it around almost all the way, the other 3 I went around half way and walked half way. Then I hit up Costco with my mom and then I was supposed to go visit my best friend. But I got a call for the Witch-In-law Jonathon has bronchitis and was at the hospital, so she need a babysitter for Manning. So Battery and I ended up going to pick him up and watched for a couple hours it was a lot of fun. We took for a long walk almost an hour through the trails by our house. He seemed to really enjoy it, I don't think he he has ever been taken anywhere like that. Then we got home and my dad took over babysitting so we could make the movie since already bought tickets. Sex and The City was awesome I really enjoyed it, I laughed, I credit, it was great. Battery only enjoyed it for the first hour I think and then got restless, but it was so sweet of him to go with me. We just grabbed some pizza for dinner and are relaxing right now. But boy am I wipped out my legs are killing me, so I think it will be an early night for me but all in all a great day.

On the mend

2008-05-30T08:29:00.000-07:00

I am feeling a lot better today. I had a nice quiet evening at home last night with DH and I really needed. I went over to see my Grandma last night too and she is looking really good. I think the pills have really helped her, it also made me feel a better too. As for my sister in law I have no wish to see her right now so I am just steering clear of her. I skipped weigh in this morning and I know I shouldn't but right now I just need to concentrate on getting myself feeling better right now. I am still eating healthy and going to try and excerise as much as possible. But I am just taking this break over the weekend not worrying about tracking or weight loss. I think I really need it at this point. My plan for this weekend is just to spend time with Battery and he is taking me to see Sex and The City movie tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it.

Not to hot

2008-05-29T07:54:00.000-07:00

I had a bit of a melt down in the car this morning and started crying when I was dropping Battery off at work. I have been working so hard to keep it together but I am so worried about my grandma. Also my dad has a heart condition so I am worried about him too. Eating and excerise wise has been pretty bad this week too. I know I need to get back into it because it will help me because punishing my body isn't going to make any better. My sister in law is the C word, I never use that word but for her its true. Last night my parents were out with them and my mom said to her and my brother did you hear about your grandma, that only 20% of her lungs are left. Well apparntley my sister in law looked like she just won the lottery. I am sure she would be happy if my grandma died because she wants to get her hands on her money. She is really sick and twisted. I am going to end there before I get upset again since I am at work. Everyone have a great day.

2008-05-28T07:48:00.000-07:00

Last night didn't go as planned, I had a crappy day at work and then when we got home Battery and I got into an argument. So I ended up skipping out on my run, instead I just went for a walk around the block a couple times, so I did get moving just not as much as planned. Eating wise I had a few snacks after dinner, not great but I stayed within my points plus I had 5 flex points left over. Tonight Battery has a dentist appointment so I am going to drop him off, go for a run and then come back and pick him up.
We have been doing a lot of planning for our Trip to Hawaii, Battery has his heart set on doing the Road to Hana. I am not really too crazy about it since the road is supposed to be really bad with step drop offs, but since its the one thing he really wants to do we are going to do it. Since I am the driver I told him we are going to leave early and just take it slow. We will probably it within the first couple days of being there, since it will be easier to get up since our bodies will still be on Vancouver time. Other than that I want to go snorkeling for sure and go to a Luau, maybe go on a dinner cruise we will see.

Catch Up

2008-05-27T11:02:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't updated my blog lately but there has been some family stuff going on. My grandma was sent to see a lung specialist yesterday as she hasn't been doing too good. Anyways after the test were run it was determined that she only has 20% lung capactiy left. I found out when I was work at yesterday and I was really upset. When I got home I found out that she doesn't need to go on Oxgen which is really good, but will need to take 6 differnt pills a day to help the problem. My grandma is turning 94 this year and I know I should be really grateful she is still alive but I would also like to keep her around for a few more years. I am feeling a bit better today but still a bit upset about it.

Weight watchers wise I am still plugging away, Battery and I went jogging on Sunday I was able to make it 3/4ths the way around the track this time. So I was really happy with that. Eating wise I am doing my best eating my points, drinking lots of water trying for 4 liters a day now. I have really gotten into green tea its actually pretty good. Last night I did some weights, crunches, squats and lunges. I stepped on the scale this morning I was up another pound. Its like when the weight goes up on the scale so does my image of myself. I feel like a fat pig today. Battery has suggested I only weigh myself once a week I am sure he is right. So I am not going to step on the scale again until Friday. If I go up anymore than I am not really sure what is next.

Feeling Good

2008-05-24T09:52:00.000-07:00

Thanks for listening to my whining this week. I am feeling really good right now. I am not worrying about the number on the scale. I am working on excerisng and eating healthy and seeing how my clothes fit. I am sure it will all even out soon. Today is Tanya day it was supposed to be last saturday but it got cancelled because of the car. Anyways we are going to the Zoo and then out for Thai food for dinner. I can't wait! I hope everyone has a great day!

Still

2008-05-22T07:55:00.000-07:00

Well I finally got my car back, it cost $500. Wasn't too happy about it but at least I have my car back. I have been doing weights, crunches, squats & lunges all week. I stepped on the scale this morning and I am up 2lbs. I am so frustrated right now, I was planning on being back at 170 by the end of the month but I guess that isn't going to happen. I think it might be from the weight lifiting but still I am really not happy about it. It likes I am never going to lose this weight. Its all because I quit smoking, even though I am smoking a couple a day again.
I am looking into booking our trip to Maui. It looks like you can't smoke really anywhere in Maui, so I guess I will have no choice but to quit smoking when we are there. I have looked and can't find any hotels with even smoking areas. But maybe it will be a good way to get my bum in gear and quit once and for all.

Blah

2008-05-21T07:44:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted in a few days but I haven't been feeling that great emotionally lately. Its seems like everything I touch I break, I came into work yesterday and my computer was broken too. Today I can't log into our system, I am starting to take it all personally. Eating wise wasn't great over the weekend, we went out drinking Saturday night at the pub I went over my flex points by 9. I wasn't too happy about it but at least I tracked it. Excerise wise also not great, I skipped my run on sunday because I was way too hungover to go. Monday and yesterday I just did some weights, squats, lunges and crunches. Today I find out about my car and how much its going to cost. It will either be 350 for the starter or up to $1500 for the starter and the fly wheel. I am keeping my fingers crosee that its only the starter. It is I will be able to book our trip to Hawaii today, if not there goes any vacation at all this year. I am just so much on edge right now and I am feeling so stressed out. I am really hoping it turns out well.

Not turning out as I planned

2008-05-17T15:12:00.000-07:00

I came out of work yesterday and my car wouldn't start. I had a bit of a meltdown at work with tears, I am pretty embrassed about it. Anyways I called BCAA they showed up about an hour and half later. They were able to getop the car going, its the starter. Anyways I took it to Canadian Tire and they were going to charge me $600 to change the starter. I was like holy crap, then I talked to my sister in law and she told me to bring to her shop. They can change it on Tuesday and said I could use her car until then. But then when I was there she was trying to sell me a new car. But I don't want a new car, I worked so hard to pay for my card and its finally paid off. So I think we are just going to wait a bit and see what happens.

Weigh In

2008-05-16T08:01:00.000-07:00

I stepped on the scale this morning for my weekly weigh in and my weight was the same. I have excerise more this week so I think that might be it. I really wish I had taken my measurments before to see if I had lost inches. My jeans are feeling really baggy in the waist so that might be it. I am just going to keep eating well and excerising and hopefully I will see a loss this week. Battery is talking me to the Zoo tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it since the weather is so great. I hope everyone has a great long weekend.

Bring on the Sun

2008-05-15T08:21:00.003-07:00

Since it stopped raining yesterday after work I went for a walk/jog, doing the usual half and half but I went around 5 times this time. Hopefully I will be able to work up to going around a full time soon. I then went home and did my 100 crunches. My shoulders are a bit sore from them so I think I might be doing them wrong. Tonight I am going to do my strength training and crunches. Canela thanks for the suggestion, I have never measured myself maybe I will tonight and then I can go from there. I have always been so focused on the scale I don't think of much else. I hope the sun comes out soon, I painted my toenails last night and am wearing pretty sandals with the skirt today. I am so sick of winter clothes hopefully spring is here for good. Well tomorrow is my weigh in so hopefully I will be reporting some good results.

Bring on the Sun

2008-05-15T08:21:00.001-07:00

Still Moving

2008-05-14T07:35:00.001-07:00

I did the 15 mintue kickboxing dvd last night and 100 crunches. I am feeling really good today, but stepped on the scale and it says I am up 3lbs from last week WTF. I work my ass off and its just not coming off. I am really getting frustrated at this point, I don't know what to do. I am thinking of not using my flex at all this weekend to see if it helps. Once I am at goal again I know I will need my flex points so I don't want my body to get used not having the flex I am just not sure what to do. Tonight since its still raining the plan is to do 20 mintue Biggest Loser cardio max, some hand weights for my arms and 100 crunches. Hopefully my weight will be back down for weigh in on friday.

APs?

2008-05-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

I found a 50 mintue stregth training excerise on weight watchers.com, I did it last night but it only took me 25 mintues. Maybe I just workout faster than some people I don't know. The plan for today was to go jogging after work but its rianing here, if it doesn't stop I am going to do 20 mintue kickboxing instead. Then hopeful tomorrow the weather will be better and I can go jogging. I am still a bit concerned that my Aps aren't very high each week, but I am working out 4 times a week. Maybe I should up it to 5 times a week and it will be better. I just can't even imagine getting 28 Aps a week that is quite a lot. I can usually fit in a 20-30 mintue workout, but anything more that that doesn't really work. I find if the workouts are around 30 mintues I can get myself motivated to go. Any suggestions?

Great Day

2008-05-10T19:58:00.001-07:00

I had a really good day today, I went out with my best girlfriend. She took me out for lunch and then we went shopping. I bought the new Jennifer Lopez perfume it smells so good. Tonight we had to drive out to the border to return Battery's usa vistor visa and then we hit up Walmart. I found Sex and the City on dvd for $17.99 each season. He bought me the last 3 seasons to finish off my collection. I am going to watch them tonight and have some Jello and rice cakes. The best thing ever I still have 15 flex points left for Brunch tomorrow. I have usually gone throught them all by now. So I am really happy with myself.

Weigh In

2008-05-08T09:07:00.000-07:00

I know its a day early but tomorrow is going to be crazy and I wasn't sure if I would be able to get online to log my weight or not. Also I know HTabby is leaving on her trip today and I know she has been dying to know how I did this week. So without further ado, I am down 1.2, I am back to 172.8, I am so happy. I think I can totally make my goal of being down to 170 by the end of May. My plan for this weekend is to stay on plan and not use all my flex in one day as usual I am going to try to only use half of my flex this weekend and see how I do.

I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me out when I was getting down and being my cheering squad espiscally(sp) HTabby you are awesome!

Jogging

2008-05-07T20:29:00.000-07:00

I went for my walk/jog after work today, I went around the track 4 times, walking half way then

jogging half way. I am happy that I went for it and I felt great afterwards, but I am kind of frustrated that I can't make it all the way around yet. I know I need to build up slowly it only my second time out lately. Now that the weather is better I am trying to keep it up, I was to go jogging/walking 2-3 times a week and do weights/crunches/squats two times a week. I am feeling really good this week with eating well and the excerise. Hopefully I will see a nice loss this week, but if its not a big one I won't be too disapponited since I had a bad eating wise weekend. I am feeling really excited about excerise and weight watchers lately it hasn't happened in a long time.

Day 3

2008-05-07T08:11:00.000-07:00

Well I did end up going out for dinner last night, I had a blackened chicken burger with salad for 11 points. It was really good I would get it again next time I go. I didn't get a chance to get any excerise last night with going out for dinner last night. Tonight I am working an extra half an hour so I won't be home to 5:00pm, I usually get home at 4:30pm but I hope the weather stays the same and I am going to go for a jog/walk again. I am feeling good from getting this excerise again. I took a look at the scale this morning and I am up a pound from last week, I have been working hard this week so hopefully I see a loss or stay the same at least. I ate a lot of junk last weekend so it might be from that. I am drinking lots of water today so hopefully that will help a bit. Well here is my menu for today.

B-Banana & Oatmeal
L-Sandwich, apple, fruit snacks
S-Plum and Bananan

Today my plan is to eat good I am going to post my menu below and drink lots of water. Battery and I were suppoed to take a friends of our from the USA office for dinner, but the wife couldn't make because of a sick cat so I am not sure if we are still going.

Good Day

2008-05-04T18:50:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning and it was a beautiful day so I decided to head out for walk/jog. I went around the track 4 times, walking half the way and then jogging half. It feels good to actually get some excerise for once. My plan for this week is to get some excerise each day, tuesday night we are going out for dinner with some people from my work, but I know where we are going and I have planned out my dinner, so I can plan my day accordingly. It feels great to be back in control again. Battery and I had a nice relaxing day today, after my run I came home and got back into bed with him stayed there for most of the day. We haven't done that in forever so it was nice to do, then in the afternoon my brother dropped by with the twins. It was great to see them because it had been a few weeks. They are crawling like crazy now its soo cool. I didn't do that great eating wise but I had some flex left and I only went over my points by a couple so I am feeling really good. I am still super tired today I am not really sure what is wrong with me, it might be because tom is on its way. I am going to get to bed early and have a good sleep. Thats all for me now, I'll be back tomorrow.

Busy Day

2008-05-03T23:20:00.000-07:00

Today was crazy busy, I didn't have time for excerise, but I am still feeling run down so I will get back on it tomorrow. Eating wise wasn't too great but I had all my flex and my daily points left so I think I did good. This morning Battery and I took my grandparents grocerry shopping and to Walmart. At Walmart we were looking for a pool for the twins for there birthday, I can't believe they are almost one already. Anyways they didn't have it at that location so we kind of gave up on it. Then we headed back out again to see IronMan it was really good I really enjoyed and we picked up Pizza for dinner. After dinner I started calling Walmarts in the area to find the pool. I finally found one at a location about 30 mintues from here, but they wouldn't hold it overnight so we headed out to get it at 9pm. Now we are finally home and I am getting a chance to relax, we rented Mario Kart for the Wii, it was good but I still like the one on gamecube better. Well I am off to bed now, looks like I gave everyone a blow by blow of my day I hope I didn't bore everyone too much. I hope everyone has an enjoyable rest of the weekend. I will post more tomorrow.

Weigh In

2008-05-02T07:41:00.000-07:00

I am down 1.2 from last week when I was back up to 175. So I am just going to keep working at it and keep losing every week. My goal is to be down 13lbs by the end of August. So far I am working my way there. I went to the dentist last night for my filling and my mouth was really frozen. Then because I was starving when the freezing wore off at 7, I had a poutine for dinner. Not the best choice but I journalled it and moved on. My goal for today is to eat well, drink 3 liters of water. I am still feeling a bit run down but not as bad as early in the week, I am mostly just tired now. I think by the end of the weekend I should be back to normal.

On the mend

2008-04-30T07:47:00.000-07:00

Well I am back at work today, I would say I am about 90% better. I am hoping to be 100% by the end of the week. I am really thankfull I had the flu this year I think it really helped me from being really badly sick. Today my plan is to eat healthy, drink 3 liters of water and if I feel up to after work gets some excerise in. I have a lot of work to catch up on so that will hopefully make the day feel better. HTabbey thanks for the well wishes when I posted I was sick. I hope everyone has a great day.

Sick

2008-04-29T08:42:00.000-07:00

I am home sick today but feelin a bit better than yesterday. I am going to do my best to still be on plan and drink at least two liters of water, but will skip the excerise. I am pretty sure I have a touch of the flu, but since I had the flu shot it shouldn't be too bad hopefully.

Rainy Monday

2008-04-28T07:41:00.001-07:00

Well its rainning here again, which I am getting really sick of, well it ever be warm again? The butter chicken turned out really well, it taster really good. I think that I will make it again, actually I shouldn't take all the credit Battery helped clean too so it was fun to do together. I had the worst sleep last night I was tossing and turning all night so I am really wiped out this morning and feeling a bit sick, I am not sure if it is from the lack of sleep or if I am actually getting sick. I am at work now so I will see how I do, if I don't start feeling better I might just head home. My plan for today is to eat on plan, drink at least 3 liters of water and try to get in 15 mintues of kickboxing.

Butter Chicken

2008-04-27T08:27:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning and I was going to go for a run but Battery was already outside sweeping and getting rid of branches and stuff from the trees. So I went and helped him for 45 mintues and it was quite a workout. I don't think I need to go running now. The rest of today I think is just going to be relaxer. I am making Battery Butter Chicken for dinner, I have never made it before and I don't really cook, so I hope it turns out well. We both love Butter chicken but have never found a kind precooked that is good, so I am trying my hand at it. I ran it through the tracker and it works out to 8 points not bad. I will let you know how it turns out. Well I am off to have breakfast now.

2008-04-26T20:42:00.000-07:00

Well I had a great day. After getting back from shopping I had a nice relaxing bath and read a trashy magazine, I like to do that every once in awhile. It was really nice to come home to a fresh cleaned house. Its good to know I can relax for the rest of the weekend, usually I leave most of my cleaning for sunday, so its nice to be done early. When Battery got home we headed out to see The Forbiden kingdom. I am not a huge fan of those movies but it was pretty good, since I went with him he said he would take me to see Sex and The City I am looking forward to that. Rest of tonight is just going to be spent relaxing. I am going to post some pictures of my winnie-the-pooh and tigger toaster/waffle iron.

A new day

2008-04-26T10:09:00.000-07:00

I am feeling really good today. We had subway last night and I stayed right on my points. Today I got up early and dropped Battery off at work. Then I came home and cleaned the whole house. I am just about to head out to take my grandparents grocerry shopping. I am going to get a lot of healthy food. I am so excited Battery bought me a winnie-the-pooh and tigger toaster and waffle maker off amazon. I am a huge winnie-the-pooh and tigger fan, I have so much of there stuff. So I can't wait until it gets here.

Last Night

2008-04-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

It was my grandparents 60th Anniversary last night, so we went out for dinner. I tried to take them somewhere nice but they wanted to go to Denny's. As you all know Denny's on weight watchers isn't excatly fun, I couldn't find anything for 12 points which is what I left. So anyways I ordered steak and potatos with salad. I weighed myself this morning I was 176.6, I have been this much in 2 years. I am hoping it was a false weighin but it came me the kick in the ass I needed. No more screwing around I am getting this weight off for good no matter what. No big plans for the weekend, Battery is working tomorrow, so I am going to take my granparents grocerry shopping. I am going to the dentist after work for my cleaning not looking forward to that but hopefully it will be last for at least 6 months. I hope everyone has a great day.

Self Sabatoge

2008-04-23T19:55:00.000-07:00

I really think that is what I am doing to myself I don't know why. I want to lose weight and get to goal. I want to feel pretty and confidant again. But for some reason I do really good for a few weeks and then I go and screw it up. Its a couple weeks screw up and the only place it gets me is back at a bad weigh. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself, but I am hoping if I post this that it might help me face the problem and work at solving. I really want to do well and get back to goal by the end summer. So I can feel good when we take our vacation this year, we are doing a beach vacation and I actually want to feel confidant and not look at everyone else and wish I looked like them.

Totally Off Plan

2008-04-22T20:42:00.000-07:00

Well the last week has been a bad one weight watchers wise. I am totally off track between the sore tooth and time off work and it being Battery's birthday. There have been so many meals out its been crazy. The only good I thing I have noticed is that I have been making better choices. On saturday I had a chicken quesdilla with salad instead of fries. I have been snacking on rice cakes rather than chips. We went to the aquarium yesterday so all the walking around was a bit of excerise. I will post some pictures below. Well I am back to work tomorrow, fully being on plan and excersing.

Weigh In Day

2008-04-18T07:56:00.001-07:00

Well I weight in this morning and I was down 0.2. Not great but I was pretty happy with it since I have been in pain all week. Not really eating my points and no excerise at all. I hope my teeth will feel better next week and then I can get back into the swing of things.

I have monday and tuesday off work and I am really looking forward to a bit of a break. I think if the weather is nice we are going to go to Vancouver Aquarium and make to mini golf so it should be a lot of fun. Tonight I am going to see my best friends, she is pregenat and due in June but has been put on bed rest, since she went into mild labour on the weekend. So I am going over to visit and take over some presents we bought.

My teeth are still sore but not as bad so hopefully I am getting there and I will feel way better soon. I hope everyon has a wonderful friday!

Back from the Dentist

2008-04-17T10:26:00.001-07:00

Well I went to the dentist this morning, he looked at my tooth and then took an x-ray. There is nothing wrong with my teeth. He thinks it may be possible that I have been grinding my teeth. So hopefully it gets better and I am pain free soon. I looked at the scale this morning and I am down .2. Not great but considering I haven't excerised all week and haven't been eating all my points I was happy with it. Tonight DH is off to the pub with friends after work so I have the house to myself not sure what I am going to do yet. I just bought Melrose Place Season 4 on dvd, so I think I will start watching that and maybe get some subway for dinner. Then I am going to pick him up at 7:30pm, hopefully he is ready on time. He has a habit of not being quite done when I get there but that is okay.
I think with my laptop I might start using it when its plugged in. The battery is supposed to last for 3 hours but it seems to me it doesn't last very long at all.
Well I hope everyone has a great day, now go drinks some water!

Laptop

2008-04-16T09:30:00.000-07:00

It’s a Compaq dual and I love it. Still trying to get used to the mouse on it and not a normal one. The only draw back is the battery doesn't last too long. Is it better to use it and keep it plugged in? But other than that I am really enjoying being able to use the computer in my room while I am watching TV or in the living room.
Well exercising is just not happening for me this week. I worked out on Sunday but other than that nothing. My tooth has been really sore the last few days and I just can't face it. I feel guilty but I know I have to take care of myself first. So I am hoping to stay the same weight as last week. I will know in two days how it went. I have a dentist appt tomorrow morning so hopefully they will be able to fix me up.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Im so excited

2008-04-14T20:08:00.000-07:00

My laptop was waiting for me when I got home. I am so excited its finally here, I have always wanted one. It seems like it was worth the extra money. I didn't end up working out tonight, my back hurt when I got home and I was distracted my the laptop. Other than that I am still on track for the day, I ate well, drank my water. I was actually a point under which is okay. My tooth is still sore but not as bad. Well I am going to hit bed soon. I hope everyone has a great night.
