Week 3

Hello,
Well it has been a while!!! What can I say except, I was soooo sick! Being sick is the worst! I was out of commission for a few days.
Well this week was somewhat exciting. I lost 1.4 pounds. I am happy with that especially that I was not able to go to the gym almost the whole week.
This week is going better. I have gone everyday so far, even if my lungs want to jump out of my chest every time I cough... I am having a harder time this week with my eating habits. I don't know why. I feel like eating everything that is really bad for me. I hope it will go away. I also think it might have to do with the fact that I have not smoked for the past 5 days. Yup... Kept that as a secret. It is not easy doing both at once, but with this cold there is no way I could smoke...
Well I will try and update every two to three days. I am back....

Week 2 day 1 - Weight In

I can't believe I forgot to write this last night! Yesterday morning, I got up, and took out the scale. When I jumped on it it read 188.6! That means I lost 3 pounds!!! I was so excited! I could not believe it!
I had to ask husband to hide my scale cause I was jumping on it at least 2 or 3 times a day. I was driving myself crazy! One day it would be down the other day it would be up! So from now on, I will try and only weight myself on Monday. As long as I follow my Plan I should be fine.
As many of you know, there was a terrible accident in Bathurst where 7 young man and a teacher died. It has been really sad. I read the reports and I almost start crying. It made me realize that I need to live life to its fullest and be happy with what I have cause you just never know!
Well I want to say that I am grateful for my husband and my beautiful son, my family and my friends. So I suggests you look at your life today and see what you should be grateful for!
Have a great day

Weight in tomrorow!!!

Ok so tomorrow it will be a week that I am on Weight Watchers and have started Curves. I am scared to jump on. I did very well during the week, but the weekend was a little harder. We went to McDonald's and I am proud to report that I had a salad!!
I am also worried that I did not eat enough. I was reading this blog and she said if you do not use your full activity points and some of your flex points you are not going to lose!
Well if I lost 1 pound I will be happy. We will see tomorrow!
My knee is a little sore. I am hoping it wont affect my training session tomorrow! Wish me luck!
My quote for the week: Nothing tastes as good as feeling thin!!!

Day 5 of week 1

Today went well. Went to the gym again today. I really like it. I am a little sore today, so tomorrow I will do only cardio. Other then that I had some pizza for supper. I had some flex points to use, so I had a few pieces. I was impressed that I did not over eat! Good for me!
Today I found this amazing blog. I read it from start to finish. Here is the blog adress.. http://gottagetshrunk.blogspot.com/ Just to look at the pictures really motived me!
So the weekend starts, I hope I stay on my plan! wish me luck!

Day 3 and 4 of week 1

Well I am still doing the gym thing. Today was my 3rd time. I really enjoy it!
Last night, we went out for supper. I did the right thing and ordered chicken with some rice. Ahhh I would have loved some french fries but resisted! Good for me!!!
Well my hardest thing right now that I am finding is drinking my water. I love water so you would think it would be easy. My bottle is beside me all day long. So all I need to do it pick i t up and drink! Ahhhh it sounds so easy.
Other than that, nothing new.
Till tomorrow

Day 2 of week 1

Well today I had a scare!!! I was driving to work this morning on hwy 2. I was going like 120 and I hit a big thing of water. I never saw it. For like 5 seconds, I thought, I am going to lose control, but I did not. Thank god!
So after that, I was not feeling too good. At home, my men are both sick. I am lucky I have not gotten it yet but still not feeling my self still... I went to do my first official workout at curves. I loved it! It gave me so much energy.
Other then that, nothing new to report. It was a good day on my new lifestyle change. I followed my plan and proud of it!

Day 1 of week 1

Well this morning, I woke up and weighed myself. I lost 1.2lbs!!! Youpi! So it was not a full week but it was good! I am happy with that.
Today was my first day at the gym. It went well. The owner was our trainer. She is great. She really explained each machine and what muscles it worked. For the first time, I think I got it! So we were only able to do 15 minutes of exercise but we had fun. So tomorrow we are going to go again to do the full session. I am excited!
My poor hubby has bronchitis. Poor thing... He sounds terrible. I just hope that both Sam and I don't get it.
Well another good day... One day at a time! Thanks for tuning in, until next time....

Not the best day!

My two men are sick today... So I made pancakes for breakfast. I usualy eat two so I only had one and I had a banana with it! So that was not to bad.
I had some spaghetti sauce for lunch. Not too bad again. Not the best choice but that is ok. Then we decided to do to Presque Iles for some shopping with our friends. We then went for supper at this buffet place. I choose some healthy choice, but I still eat too much and had some of the bad stuff too!
I did not do my exercise either. Ok so tomorrow morning I am going to weight myself for the official start of this life changing thing! It is not a diet it is a life style change and I have to get that through my head! Ok now that this is clear... I am going to get my meals ready for tomorrow, my gym stuff and get to bed! Big day tomorrow!
The new life officially begins! Wish me luck!
Thanks to my friends for supporting me.... I realize that I am a very lucky gal to have such wonderful people surrounding me!
have a good night
till tomorrow for my update from my first day at the gym.... ohhh god!!!

Proud of myself!

Sometimes, you just need to be proud of yourself! Today I am. This morning, I woke up at 9:00 thanks to Son! He slept him! lucky me! Once we woke up I did some laundry, did the dishes, and cooked breakfast for Sam. He wanted sausages... man that would have been good with some eggs... but instead I had my cereal.
After Sam was done eating and watching Mighty Machines, my wonderful son allowed me to do my 30 minute exercices dvd! So not only am I proud of myself but of my wonderful two year old son for letting his mommy do her exercice.
Not much planned for the day... Going to finish up my cleaning, go to do groceries and wait for hubby to arrive!
Have a great day everyone

New Year!

Well I can't believe we are in 2008. This year is going to be my 10 year high school reunion. I can't believe it is already here!
It is going to be fun to see where everyone is and what they have been up to!
Ok so my big thing about this reunion is that since I left school, I have gained about 40 pounds.... That is insane and I can't blame it on my son! I was bigger before I had Son. Ok so that being said, I need to do something.
I decided that I would try this again. I tried it before the holidays and it did not work, cause I was not really determined. This time around I am!
I started on Wednesday. I am doing good so far. Last night I did my exercise. It is not easy doing this with a 2 year old son... but I did it. Husband was outside with our new snow blower... That is his new toy.
I decided today that I was going to join Curves. I am going to go everyday on my lunch hour. That is 5 times a week. So I think that is a great start. I am proud of myself for doing this. I know it is not going to be easy but I have to stick with it. I am also lucky to be surrounded by people who want to support me. My hubby, god love him, has decided to follow my new plan meals... It has been hard for him I am sure not to eat his potatoes and his rice. I thank him for sticking behind me....
If you read my blog, then you are supporting me as well... Thank you for that. My first goal is to get down to 185 pounds. I now weigh 192 pounds. This is not easy writing your weight but I think I need to do that to face my weight in the face!
So that is all for now!
