Loving Each Day!

I am retaining water big time.   I can always tell by the way my wedding rings fit.  They got tight yesterday evening.  I think I didn’t drink enough water yesterday afternoon.  I had lifted weights in the morning and then hubby and I played Racquetball in the Sun…it was hot!…in the afternoon.  I don’t remember drinking allot of water.  Today I am going to make sure that I get it in.  Plus I I seem to have a little bit of an up set stomach.  I hope that I am not getting some kind of bug.  I just got over being really sick.

It is gorgeous here in Orlando Fl today.  I opened all the windows up at 6:30am to let some of the cool air in the house.  I have yet to turn on my A/C even known it is getting into the high 80’s now.  I love this weather.

Not allot going on.  We are going to the Potluck Saturday night at the Church…so I need to figure out what I am going to make to bring with me.  Tomorrow I have allot of shopping to do.  I have to prepare for next weeks meals.  So today I need to plan out my meals and of course everyones else’s also.

I hope that everyone has a great day.  Just one more day until the weekend!  Yeah!!

Loving Each Day!

I got myself up at 4:55am and was at the Gym lifting by 5:12am.   I am starting to notice a difference in the way my arms look.  I am also seeing some tone in my calves which is nice.  The weight pretty much stays the same but I am losing inches.  YEAH!!!!

I just realized it is 10am and I have not eaten at all.  I got home a bit after 6am and I took a shower.  I got into bed with hubby and he then he left for work.  I was going to get up but I guess I feel a sleep because before I knew he called me and it was almost 8am.  Then I had bills to take care of, school work with kids, clean up the mess in the kitchen, and not it is 10am.   I should go eat something and figure out what I need to do today.  Hubby said he might be in the area around noon.  If he is, he wants to play Racquetball.  We got rained out last night. 

Ok…well I am going to eat.

Hope everyone is having a nice morning.

Loving Each Day!

That is what I keep saying to myself.  Saying that to myself over and over seems to keep my on track.  I am reminding myself all the time that I have a goal to be thin and healthy.   I am not rushing myself to get to goal either.  I know I will get there within the next year…more then likely sooner…but I want to do this right.  Which I think I am doing.  I lift weights three times a week, and hubby and I play Racquetball at least 4 times a week.  So I am on my way.  I am also watching what I eat.  I stay within my points.  I have to say that I love the 100 calorie snacks that are out.  They really hit the spot in between meals for me.

Hubby and I did play Racquetball last night.  I also “upped” my some of my weights yesterday at the Gym.  I am feeling the muscles in my my thigh and a bit in my arms.  Which is great! 

Well…not allot going on here.  Just laundry and that is about it.

I hope everyone is having a great day so far!

 I got myself up at 5am and was at the GYM by 5:10am working out.  I thought that the GYM would pretty much be empty because they open at 5am, but I was wrong.  There were plenty of people working out and evening running already.  I got my work out in and did great.  Now I am waiting for hubby to get home so we can play Racquetball.

I am doing great with eating.  The weight is coming off slowly which I am fine with.  The inches are coming off a little faster which I am really happy about.  Every Monday I officially weigh myself and take my measurements.  This way I can track my progress.  I am happy with the results so far.

Everything is going great with everything else.  I have no complaints at all.  So I am HAPPY! 

I hope everyone has a great day!

I feel like I have been running around with my head cut off.  My sister and her husband are flying in Saturday.  So I have been running around cleaning like crazy.  They are arriving Saturday late afternoon.  So Saturday I have allot of baking to do.  My sister loves it when I bake for her.  Plus I want her feed back on some new dishes.  (Nothing is W.W. friendly either.)  So I will not be picking at anything.  I am on roll and I plan in staying there.  My daughter also has her best friend staying the night on Saturday so she can go to Church with us on Sunday.  My oldest son has to work Saturday and I have to take him in and pick him up.  Hubby has yard work to do on Saturday and he is in charge of cleaning the three bathrooms.  Plus there are things I need to get done for Church on Sunday.  Not enough time to get everything done.

BUT…

I am doing great with points.  I went to the Gym yesterday and hubby and I did play Racquetball last night.  Today is my day off from all exercise.  Which is a nice break.  I am also trying not to eat after 6:30pm any more.  I think that might be a big help if I can stop eating at night…even known I have the points left to do that.  Plus I need to stop staying up until 11pm.  When I stay up that late I want to eat.

Ok…I need to check the roast in the oven.

I hope everyone has a had a great day so far!

Wow…this week is really moving.  I got myself and up to the Gym this morning at 6:30.  I really didn’t want to get up because I didn’t get to bed until after 11pm last night.  A friend stopped by.  She is leaving for a mission in Jordan.   There is a group their from the Church already and they are going to help set up the cafe.  She will be gone for 9 weeks.   So she came by to drop off Christian CD’s and say bye.  I hope all goes well for her.  BUT…I did get to the GYM and get things done.  Hubby and I played Racquetball yesterday also.  We will play again tonight and tomorrow is my day off from all working out.  I can sleep in tomorrow!  YEAH!  LOL

Not allot going on here today.  It is still a bit cool out but not bad at all.  I have to go to the store just to get Milk.  So I am going to see if we can hold out until hubby is on his way home.  Maybe he can get some for me.

Well…I am off to home school the kids.  I hope everyone has a great day!

Loving Each Day!

I guess we have a cold front come through last night.  It got down into the 40’s last night.  It has warmed up some but it is still a bit cool for my taste.  Things are going great with staying on track.   I am allowed 26 points a day but I only can eat around 20-22.  I did go to the gym yesterday morning and hubby and I did play Racquetball yesterday afternoon.  I still was only able to get 22 points down.  I just was not hungry and I don’t want to eat when I am not hungry.  Hubby and I are going to play Racquetball again this evening.  I can’t wait to get out there on the court.  I love playing.  I am back to the gym tomorrow.  I am looking forward to going.  I actually like working out.  Who knew?  LOL

My sister and her husband are arriving from RI Saturday evening.  They are going on a cruise with my mom and leave Sunday.  My hubby will take them to the port after church.  I hope that they have fun and enjoy themselves.

I did allot of errands this morning which freed up by afternoon.  Which is nice for a change.  My to-do list yesterday was a mile long, but I got things done.  So today I have the afternoon to myself.  WHICH I LOVE!!!

So with that…I am off to enjoy some me time.

I hope everyone is having a great day!

The Easter Bunny arrived here sometime during the night and left the kids candy filled beach buckets.  He even lefted hubby a huge solid chocolate Easter Bunny.  The Easter Bunny knew better then to leave me anything.  If he had I would of had to hunt him done and hurt him.  I feel great this morning and I am not even tempted to sample any of the candy that is in the house now.  I am staying on track this time and this train is really moving along.  There is a curve coming up though.  I have a potluck to attend the first Saturday of April.  Our Church is hosting the event.  I plan on taking a chicken salad dish to share that night…so at least I know there will be something there that I can eat.  I will make sure to eat before I go so I don’t go overboard.

Not allot going on today.  The weather is really nice right now.  Not rainy like we were told it would be.  I am hoping that it holds out so hubby and I can play Racquetball this afternoon.  This morning we are going to Church and then we have to stop a Lowes and Publix on the way home.

Well…I need to get ready for Church.  I hope everyone has a sweet Easter!

Loving Each Day!

That is right.  I brought my own food and snacks, and I didn’t even as much as sample any food that was there.  I did GREAT!  :)  I even managed not eat any chocolate cake or any of the candy the kids got from the Easter Egg Hunt.  I am really doing it this time.  I keep telling myself that I am going to be thin and healthy.  I know that I will be this time.

Tomorrow we are going to Church of course and then we don’t have anything really planned for the day.  Hubby is going to put the shelf back up over my desk.  It feel down a few weeks ago.  Other then that I have some cleaning to do.  I am hoping that the rain holds off so that we can play Racquetball.  It has been drizzly all afternoon today with storms coming in tomorrow.

I am back to the GYM on Monday.  I am looking forward to working out.  I AM GOING TO BE THIN!  Just the thought makes me all excited.

Well…I hope everyone had a great day today!

Loving Each Day!

I have been non-stop today.  I guess that is why I have only eaten 9 points so far today.  We are going to the Church picnic tomorrow and I have to bring dishes.  So I made an Italian Pasta Salad and I have to make Rice Krispies Treats still.   I do have my lunch and snacks ready to go.  I am staying on plan tomorrow.  I have to take my oldest daughter and my oldest son to a friends house.  It just happens that my daughters best friend is also my sons girlfriend.  They are going to see her for her B-day.  My daughter is spending the night though and I have will have to pick her up before the picnic tomorrow.  So I have to drop then off then go to the store, then pick my son up at 8pm tonight.  Not to mention I still have laundry and dusting to do.  Oh yeah…I do have to make dinner tonight also.  Wow…is it bed time yet?

I did make it to the GYM this morning and Hubby and I did play Racquetball a little bit ago.  That is why I am behind on things now.

I need to get going.  I hope everyone is having a great day!
