Day 607

Sunday, February 15, 2009

Saturday



Had a busy day running a few more errands then headed home on the ferry, and DH told me he would treat us to staying in the local (rustic) motel after dinner at our favorite nearby restaurant, which serves healthy and delicious NW cuisine with a lot of natural and organic items. Well definitely ate a lot but took a day off from everything and exercise too, and had a nice evening, DD came too and would NOT go to sleep she was like the energizer bunny but we still had fun and the break did us both good. I bought a new scale in Seattle so Monday will see what I can do to lose the remaining 3 lbs here! Beautiful weather too for Valentines Day!

    A visit to a rustic hotel with that serves organic & healthy foods sounds delightful!

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest. I've had the pleasure of living in the Seattle area, Portland metro area, miss it!

Day 606

Friday



Went to Seattle to the dentist. DD did GREAT, I think it was the cocktail of homeopathic remedies I gave her or something, but she was amazing. So then we did a lot of errands, and went to the zoo and it was so late and we were so tired we went and stayed with my SIL overnight and had two hot baths and a relaxing time, and slept like a log, so nice without the coyotes and dogs barking all night!! Ate sensibly and from Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Got both my SLR cameras fixed but had to send off the lens to Nikon as its still under warranty. It was not as bad as expected and one camera was free to fix.

    LOL I can't WAIT for your house to get DONE so you can take long, hot, bubble baths every day!!! Good job on the choices! I use to have a Nikon camera when I was a teen. My dad got it for me. I even had the telescope attachment and everything! Then ... I dropped it. YIKES! Oh well, now I've got my Handy Dandy Digital! LOL

Day 605

Thursday



From my walk yesterday. Had a nice walk today, the weather has been nice since the brief snowstorm on Monday. Took my dog for a walk to the beach today and she was happy. I forgot my camera though! Still stuck at 143.4 today which is up from last week. I do weigh daily and use the google-15 gadget because it does a running average, and that way I can account for daily fluctuations. I have been stuck in this weight of 143-144 since Jan 1st and thats unusual for me. 17565 steps today and did 15 mins on the treadmill then 15 mins on the rebounder, and went for a 60 minute walk then finished another 20 mins on the treadmill/rebounder as I did not have time to finish before I went for the walk (while I dropped DD off somewhere) but wanted to finish up when I got back. For breakfast I had a pineapple-banana smoothie, lunch was a black-bean quesadilla (made with one 80 calorie tortilla with mozarella cheese, salsa and a little sour cream on top) then an apple, with a small package of raisins and 12 almonds. Dinner I had an ethnic gourmet chicken curry (320 calories) and 1/2 grapefruit for dessert. I had some chocolate as a snack with some tea this evening.

    Your food for the day sounds delish. U & I with our famous smoothies. My problem is, I get cold so easily anymore, that I don't do smoothies for bf right now. I replace them with oatmeal.

Thanks for stopping by my blog page. I hope U had a nice Valentine's Day, too. Mine was busy, with an unfortunate mishap, which I will be blogging about later on 2day, once the battery in my camera charges so I can post a couple of pics with it.

Hugs, Ruth

    As always, great pics on your page. I'm glad you have a supply on hand for the days you forget your camera, though. You are a talented photographer, you really know color and composition.

Hope all is going well, and you can see that your Spring-y page rubbed off onto mine! Bring it on!!

And you might have to really shake things up, sounds like your body has adapted to your energy level. I know the coaches on SP would be helpful if you ask them for their input.

    Maybe you're at your set point. I read an article recently about our body reaching a set point. Your curry chicken sounds wonderful! Is it a secret family recipe?

Wed



Not much energy today and very hectic, but did get a walk in and skipped the swimming. Still not losing any more weight and its annoying as I do all the right things. Beautiful day today though. Still did 16450 steps total. Weight at 143.4 today, last week was 143.0 so annoying, and plan to test my thyroid as I know my body and its just not working!

    Beautiful Picture! Keep up with what you're doing, and good luck with the Thyroid Test. I just started wearing my pedometer again this week, one of these days I'll start having numbers like yours (mines at a measly 5693)

Keep going, you'll make it yet

    Don't beat yourself up!! The weight will come off!! If you know that you are doing the right things, continue with what you are doing, just maybe change up the exercise a bit to throw the body into shock. Then maybe you'll breakthrough and start losing again!!

Good luck with the thyroid test.

    ARGH!
Well, with the stupid Aunt Flo' making her visit a week early, at least that explains MY 1# gain from Monday!
I think we all need to sauna ---- oh, you aren't on the SP Class team. You should read what someone said about losing 600+ calories by baking in a sauna for 30 minutes ....

Day 603

Tuesday



Busy again with work and getting things done. I signed up to be a blogger on-line for our local newspaper which will be fun. I also offered to write a column like Ask The Vet too but am waiting to hear back on that one. I need to get out and do something but was a little surprised to wake up to a few inches of snow and more falling, and wish I had stocked up on more food yesterday when I went to the store. I have to go out tomorrow to see a client, so hope the roads will be clear enough by then! It looks beautiful though! Managed to get out this PM and it seems to be melting. Spring photo from last year I am willing Spring to arrive! 143.4 today (for like the zillionth time!)

    Oh how beautiful you've made this page. I can almost smell the narcissus! Now I'm really ready for spring to arrive.

I wanted to tell you that Bernice teases that she was originally going to title the cat quilt "Cat Box"... but she said she didn't think people would appreciate it.

    I hear you on Spring -- I can't wait for it to get here! However, that being said -- you can certainly send some of that show this way, lol! What kind of blog are you going to write? That sounds like fun! Keep us posted on the column!! Hopefully the scale can cooperate for you!!!

    I am with you! I wish spring would get here! I am so ready for it, but that grumpy ole ground hog saw his shadow here and so I know that there will be more winter weather before spring is here.
