Bedroom renovations

Monday, November 13, 2006

Well the painting got finished yesterday, the floor got laid today, and we moved the furniture into the room before supper. Then, I made the bed and hubby hung the pictures, etc. Almost all done. We didn't have any baseboards, so that is still to be done, but the room looks bigger.

  

Been busy

Hardly have been on here at all. Today we tore apart the bedroom and already have the walls washed and primed. Paint comes next. Hubby's just in the shower, so I snuck down here to get some Sparkling done!

  

Veering off Track

Friday, November 10, 2006

That was the title in the Lifestyle scale for the day info I gave it yesterday! Yipes. I thought I would have more time in the day for some kind of exercise, but with the storm, and leaving early for the city, and the extra travel time it took, and then the game afterwards --- well, it was not a good day for choices, food - exercise - other. Are we done with the excuses yet?? Today I will track my food. Today I will hit the treadmill. Today I will do my strength exercises. Today I will get some homework done. How will I do all this? I took the day off from work. Woohoo.

  

Snow'd in

Wednesday, November 08, 2006

So we started out for hockey practice last night, but soon realized that our roads were icy, slushy, and had packed snow on them, it was lightly raining, and we were leaving at 6:30 pm, so it was just going to get colder and start freezing. No brainer - stay home and be safe.

Got up this morning and did 19 km on the bike. My legs are tired, but again, I only got six hours of sleep last night. I was doing homework, and didn't get to bed till 11:00 pm. I swear, one of these nights will have to be a catch-up night for me! And prefferably before I catch myself making poor food choices --- which I tend to do when I haven't had enough sleep.

  

Wobble Jog

Tuesday, November 07, 2006

Thanks, Maddy, for the term!! Wobble jog. Too funny - when you are running and you can feel your butt moving like jello. Some day I'll get there where I feel nothing but beautiful muscle. I went for the five minute jog/three minute walk series again this morning. It felt more difficult today, but I started the first two cycles at 5.1 mph and usually jog at 4.6 mph. Well that, plus the past two nights have been late for me with hockey practice and game the past two nights. One of these nights I'll get back into bed before midnight so I feel more rested in the morning.

Other than that, things are going well. I am recognizing that I am spending more calories out with the amount of exercise I'm doing and that is why I seem hungrier. I chose better snacks yesterday so yes, I am learning!!!

Hi lady! It's been a while...looks like you are doing GREAT! What an inspiration. Yesterday, the doc finally released me for exercise, and I did a 25 minute workout last night. Whew! Can I feel it today! Also went back to work. It has been a long haul. LONG haul, and it feels so good to be back in "the land of the living". I hope I too, can transition from couch potato to ?? After a brief setback, the weight is falling off again, and I am determined to break 200 before the end of the year. And by the way, I have wobble walk....in fact front AND back!
