Loving Each Day!

Looks like nothing but rain for a good part of the day here in Sunny Orlando.  Hubby and I did play Racquetball last night.  We had a great time.  I also went to the GYM yesterday morning to lift.  I am taking today off from exercise.  I don’t want to over do it.  I have to work myself back up to going to the GYM everyday and playing Racquetball every night.

Not much going on today.  I have some house work to do and I have to help my youngest with her lessons.  The other kids have finished all their lessons and are not studying for the tests that I am giving them tomorrow.

I had points left over from yesterday.  I didn’t eat all my points.  I was just too busy yesterday to eat.  LOL  Wish everyday could be like that.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Loving Each Day!

That is right.  Wow…I feel like I have had a mental makeover.  I got up and went to the GYM today.  I loved it also.  Hubby does not want to play Racquetball tonight.  He thinks I might over do it.  So tomorrow night we will play again.

I am sticking to the points also.  It is not hard to do if you have everything you need on hand.  I love having a W.W. Bagel with W.W. Cream Cheese in the morning.  I am usually out until lunch so I don’t have to worry about a snack.  I have a grilled Chicken Salad for lunch, A snack mid-day, and then dinner.  I feel great.  I know that I am going to get the weight off this time and KEEP IT OFF! 

My whole mental attitude is different.  I hope that it stays this way until I make goal.

I hope everyone out there is keeping in a positive frame of mind.  If not…don’t worry about it…you will get there.  It took me time to get there.  Nothing happens over night.

Hubby and I played a very intense game of Racquetball tonight.  It felt great to get back on the court after 4 weeks of not playing.  I am ready for bed though.  LOL  The kids are not even in bed yet.  That is bad.  I am going to the GYM tomorrow morning to lift.  Hubby thinks we should not play Racquetball tomorrow night.  He wants to slowly get back into playing.  I know that is the right thing to do…I just love to play the game.

Well…I guess I am going to do some knitting and watch TV.  I hope everyone had a great day.  Here are the things that I loved about today.

1.  I loved the my youngest (7) learned a new step in Math today and she understood it right away.

2.  I loved that my hubby called me at 11am because he missed me.

3.  I loved that it was a nice day outside today.

4.  I loved that my son made dinner and it was great!!!

5.  I loved that hubby and I got to play Racquetball tonight

Have a great night!!!!

Loving Each Day!

I know the week just started but it feels like a very slow week so far.  I know now that the rest of the week will just drag.  :(   I like it when the weeks are just a bit faster then this.  I am happy to say that I am back on track and I AM STAYING THERE THIS TIME!  That is a promise that I am making to myself.  I am just a bit sore from the GYM yesterday but not bad.  I thought I would be really sore.  It is like I am starting all over again with the GYM.  I am looking forward to hitting the GYM tomorrow morning.  My foot seems better also.  I am going to see if I can get hubby to play a game of Racquetball tonight.  I would really like that.

My second oldest son is making dinner tonight.  (I am helping him of course)  He is making Messy Chicken wings (his favorite).   I am trying to get the kids to make one meal a week.  This way they can learn to cook.  Last week my oldest made an old Italian dish of my Grandmothers.  He did a great job.

Not allot going on here today.  Just some house work and that is about it.

I have 8 points left for the rest of the day so I am doing great.  My dinner is only four points tonight.

I hope everyone out there is having a great day!

Loving Each Day!

I finally was well enough this morning to get myself to the GYM!  YEAH!  It felt great to be back there.  I took it easy this morning since it has been just about 4 weeks since my last work out.   My foot hurt just a bit from my work out but not bad.  I am hoping that Wed. night hubby and I can return to playing Racquetball also.

I finally think I got the W.W. points down.  I have found food that keeps me full and happy.  The stores by me don’t sell allot of W.W. items, but a Super Target not too far away had all the bread, bagels, and snacks.  So I picked up a few things.  I love the bagels with the W.W. cream cheese.  I had this morning and W.W yogurt.   So I am full and feeling great.

I reading the three hour diet book.  It is about eating every 3 hours.  A friend of mine followed this and she lost 20 pounds in no time and has kept it off for almost a year now.   So I am thinking about combining it with W.W.  Don’t know for sure yet.  Have to finish reading the book the first.

We have a church picnic to attend on Saturday.  I have to bring a dish to share.  I am also going to back some of my own food also.  It is a really small church that we attend, and I hate to say it but I am one of the heaviest who attends.  Everyone else is really skinny.  So I doubt I will find W.W friendly food.  So I will pack what I need….to be safe.

Not allot going on today.  The kids are working on their school work and I have laundry to do.  ALLOT of it also.  The weather is really nice so I am going to hang everything on the line outside.

I hope everyone has a great day!

I am back on track today!  YEAH!  I am also back to the GYM tomorrow.  My foot seems to better.  I am going to do weights tomorrow and hold off until Monday with Cardio.  I don’t want to re-injure my foot like I did last time.  By Monday it should be safe to go back to walking and Racquetball.  I have my meals planned out for today including my snacks.  So I should be good today.  Once I get back into the GYM and get that going again, I know I will do better at staying on track.  Then hopefully by the end of April I will be in the low 170s’s for my 3rd wedding anniversary.  I am at 189 now.

Not much going on today which is nice.  I have to get gas and go to the store and that it is.  Easy day here.  Of course I do have school lessons to go over with the kids, but that is something that gets done everyday.

Well…I hope that everyone has a great day!

Yup, that is me right now.  I should say that has been me sense I got sick and injured.  I have not been able to go to the GYM because of my sprained foot.  I still have this lingering cough that just won’t go away.  I have been tired more then usual.  Ok…I know I am complaining here, but I need to get it out of my system.  I need to find away to get back on track and say there.  I have not worked out in almost three weeks now.   I am hoping that my foot will be better so that I can go back tomorrow.  I was going strong until I got really sick.  DAMN Flu!!!

So…this is my plan for this afternoon.  To plan my menus out for the rest of the week and hopefully get some weight training in tomorrow.  If I can’t do the weights, I will try to walk around the park at least once.  That will get me started again.

I also have to get back to posting on a regular bases.  I know that i have been letting that go also.

Ok…so that is my plan and I am sticking to it.  So I am off to make it happen!!!

Loving Each Day!

With the illness and the sprained foot…I am still here.  I have been way off track.  But I don’t seem to care right now.  Tomorrow we are going to my moms for my B-day lunch with her and her boyfriend.  Which means really heavy home cooked Italian food.  Her boyfriend is from Italy and can he cook.  I will not miss out on that meal.  Then hubby and I are going out to dinner after we take the kids to their dads for the weekend.  Then on Saturday we are going to Sail a small boat day.  A friend of ours sells Catalina Sailboats.  So we always go to this event and help out.  Then we are going to the Space Coast Mardi Gras at Cocoa Village.  This has become a tradition or ours.  I just hope that my foot is better by Saturday.  It is not bad today at all.  I am planning on staying off of it as much as I can today. Sunday hubby and I will be doing some shopping.  So my B-day weekend is very full right now.  I claim both March 8th and 9th as part of my B-day.  Do to a mix up of my actually birth date.  My certificate says the the 8th but my swears it was the 9th.  But it was midnight also.  So I take two days.  LOL 

Ok….well I am off to do some crafts and ice my foot.

Hope everyone has a great day!

So I am on the end of this FLU.  I went out to the mall yesterday with my oldest son.  He was in need of something for work.  Well…somehow I sprained my foot…not my ankle, but the arch of my foot.  So the Dr. put me in this supportive shoe thing.  Great!  Just what I didn’t need.  I don’t even know how I sprained it.  I don’t remember tripping or twisting it.  It just started to hurt out of the blue.  So that is what is going on.

I have been eating everything and anything.  I am planning on getting back on track Monday.  It is my B-day weekend….35!  I am celebrating.  I am also back to the GYM on Monday.  That is if the foot is better.  So that is what is going on here.  I just wanted to touch base with everyone.

Loving Each Day!

I am actually able to function today.  Somewhat that is.   Hubby took me to the Dr.’s office on Saturday.  Not only do I have the FLU…a strain of FLU according to the Dr. that will not respond to the thermaflu medicine that is out, but I also have bronchitis.  I did not sleep Friday or Saturday night.  I had to stay sitting up.  Every time I tried to lay down I would cough myself to almost death.   The Dr. put me on the Z-pack and a C-Pack (Steroids).  The only good thing about all this…I lost 3 pounds.  I started to eat late Saturday night again.  I ate once yesterday…left over pizza and ice cream.  This morning I feel like I am hung over and have this heavy thirst.  Can’t get enough water in me.  I should be better and feel fine by wed.  YEAH!  I was told by the Dr. no GYM this week at all.  I can go back on Monday and do mild cardio.  He doesn’t want this to come back on me.  After that I am to see how I feel the next day.  If I am ok I can do more cardio.  I have to build back up he told me…and slowly.  So it will be just about two weeks of no working out and no Racquet Ball.  That really SUCKS!

But….

The good news is that I will be better by this weekend which is my B-day!  YEAH!  So that is good.  As long as no kids and hubby and don’t get sick, that is.  So we will see what this weeks holds.

I hope everyone out there is doing great and no one is ill.
