Yahoo!! 2 more lbs!!! total of 61 lbs so far!! That is sooooo motivating.

I called hubby up on the way home from work today and he was almost home... I had him grab my ipod and meet me at the gym. (yeah, my gym bag was in my car, brought it to work with me)

2 days in a row!!!!

Planning on both Saturday and Sunday too.

We'll see how it goes.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Haviing your gym stuff in the car is a great way to be ready to reach your goal. It is easier to go to the gym if you don't have to go home first. congrats on the 2 lbs down. Report Inappropriate Comment

Nice job. Be careful. Sometimes we jump into the deep end of the pool. I know I've done it, and then pull a muscle and sideline myself for a few weeks. Congrats! Report Inappropriate Comment

You just never know what you are going to get!!

So here's what I've been up to these days.

Been going to the gym 2x a week. Having a great time doing it too. Have not ventured there on my own yet, but I am thinking Thursday is THE DAY.

Been staying in calorie range, eating tons of fruits and veggies - which, by the way, DO NOT help you to hit your calories.... the more fruits and veggies I eat, the less calories I eat --- cukes, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, lettuce, cantelope, strawberries, apples, grapes --- not very high on the calories range.

Still exercising before and after work.

Finished painting bedroom.

Had to have new well water tank installed. HAD ZERO PRESSURE. Yeah, try to take a shower with just a trickle of water... I DARE YOU!

My microwave oven imploded. Ok... so it didn't implode, but it did go to the big appliance graveyard in the sky and meet it's maker! Ok, it was more of a fizzle than an implosion.

Made a pile of cloths for goodwill drop off. I needed to clean out my dresser for my new bedroom set and tried on EVERYTHING and realized..... CRAP, it doesn't fit anymore. It's ALL BAGGY and FALLING OFF!!

Got bedroom delivered Saturday. Got new tires and brakes on my car on Sunday. The fire alarm in my restaurant went off at 3 am Monday morning and I got a phone call --- My opening manager informed me at 4 am that the fire dept had to get into my supervisor's office. YEAH, THEY BROKE HIS DOOR DOWN ----- no fire, no smoke, nothing ---- they just couldn't figure out why the alarm went off so they figured they'd check his office. INTELLIGENT?

Then they demanded we have the alarm company come in and check out the whole system and they gave me a deadline of 4pm !!!

Monday was a bad day. Short on staff. Dealing with alarm issue. TV people were having trouble connecting to my TV's and needed access to my office area. And, not that this has anything to do with anything, but, IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 2 DAYS !!!

BUT I AM STILL ON TRACK AND FEELING HAPPY, HEALTHY AND TERRIFIC (Richard Tosti)

I guess my box of chocolates didn't have any caramels in it, eh? (my favs)

C'est la vie!

Have an awesome healthy day.... I promise I will do better checking in and blogging (I MISS MY BLOGGING!!)

So glad you could write about it instead of eating! You deserve to feel proud of that... And way cool about having to make a pile of clothes for donating, what an accomplishment that is! You're awesome! Hope this week gets better and better! You deserve that1 Smiles, Mo Report Inappropriate Comment

Hello Again

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Hi All,

Nothin special is happening with me these days. Just working - working and working, and oh, yeah, exercising, painting and eating healthy and staying within my goals for food tracking --- although I have trouble with getting all the different tracked targets (protein, carbs, calories, fiber, fat) all in range at the same time. I succeeded 3 days in the past week, which is wayyyy better than I normally do.

Did the gym on Sunday. 45+ minutes on the treadmill alone, then I hopped onto some upper body strengthening machines. Yeah, then I went home and finished painting my bedroom. Yayyyy, new bedroom set is being delivered on Saturday. Woo Hoo!

I know I have been slacking on the homefront here. I have lots going on at work and stuff --- I'm just having trouble fitting everything into each day. lol.

I think of you guys everyday -- if I couldn't track my food and exercise on my cell phone (yeah, I do it while I'm driving to save on time.. hmmm how healthy is THAT?) I would be bumming.

Well, gotta run. Early day tomorrow.... gotta be out of house and on the road before 5:30 am.. visitors coming to my store tomorrow.... need to be in tip top shape and I have orders to do before they arrive.

Here's to all of you! Your the best and I appreciate all your comments.... and well wishes....

~kat~

I am officially in a rut. I feel sooo blahhhh it isn't even funny. I am snapping at everything, don't want to do anything and don't care about anything. Right now I just feel like absolutely NOTHING.

I woke up this way. It's strange. I was so tired last night I went to bed without doing my nightly exercise. I got up and felt NOTHING. I did my morning exercise - but it was just like I was going through the motions and that was it. I ate a healthy breakfast and that is it.

I have absolutely no motivation for anything today. I am probably having spark friends withdrawls since I have been so busy lately I have not even bloggged.

Not sure what I am going to do to get out of this rut. My head feels all FOGGY. Is that strange or what? I am having a cup of coffee as we speak, I figured I did not have my one cup today so maybe that was my problem --- yeah, it's not doing the trick.

gotta go for now --- bye

i felt EXACTLY like you do last week. it was a horrible SLOW week for me.. and, i didn't have very much motivation. i took the weekend off from exercising and i totally feel refreshed. sometimes you just need to break free... and have some fun. are you having any fun at all? don't worry.. this feeling... won't last too long.. (hopefully!) and always remember that we are ALL here waiting for you whenever you need us. Report Inappropriate Comment

Oh no Kat, how can I help? I'm sorry things are feeling so lousy... Maybe extra exercise or going to the gym would help... Or just blogging some more about what you've been doing and what has been on your mind. Or maybe you just need to respect that your body and mind need a day off and let it be... see what tomorrow brings. Sometimes we just have to get through those blah times to find the energy on the other side. Let me know if there anything I can do to help... Smiles, Mo Report Inappropriate Comment
