4 pounds! Oh, my!

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

I am super duper excited because I am down 4 pounds this week! I am really loving my new challenge! I am also loving that I am on the down-ward slope again! I stayed on that plateau long enough!
I went to Lane Bryant last night to get some new pants. They were running a really good deal where if you buy 3 or more pairs of bottoms- they would give you $20 off EACH pair! So I got one pair of dress pants- they are a size 18 and are a little loose in the rear- but fit good in the waist (no muffin top)~! Which I was excited about as I was stuffing myself into a 20 before and that was really stuffing it in! They also carry these new sizes for jeans that are "fit right"- so I got measured to find I am a Red 3- which makes no sense in any other place but Lane Bryant- but what ever... the jeans fit good. So to be optimistic I bought a 3, a 2 and a 1. I didn't want to buy all 3 pairs in a size 3 cause if I keep loosing like this they won't fit me long ;)

Today is a good day! VEGAS TOMORROW, YIPPIE!

Not enough time in a day

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Ever feel like you are just running out of time? Like there is just not enough time in a day? That is what yesterday felt like. Its a good thing that I walked during my breaks at work- cause that was the only exercise I was able to get in yesterday. Today may be just as bad- with the exception of exercise... I am working out this morning- cause otherwise, it's just not going to happen. Hopefully I will have time to do some laundry though, that would be nice! Otherwise it will just be one big day full of laundry on Thursday.

So we are leaving for Vegas on Thursday night- there is a lot that needs to be done by then. Work is going to be busy for the next little while and I need to go take an assessment test for school. I am finally going back- I am a little nervous as its been 8 years... but I am confident in my abilities. Still need to do laudry and work out tonight.... busy as usual!

Need to Clean

Sunday, September 16, 2007

I need to find some time to do some laundry. I just woke up and plan to post- eat, go for a jog, do strength training, log back onto spark to track progress, get ready, meet an old friend for lunch at 1 and then go to work. It's 9am now- think I can squeeze some laundry in? Guess we will see.....

Nope, didn't have time. Jogged for 40 minutes- the strength training took another 30. By the time I got ready- there was no more time. I just got back home from work (its 1053pm)- so I will have to make time another day! I am so sleepy.....

A busy day

Saturday, September 15, 2007

So I just woke up (its 924) its gonna be a busy day. I have to go to the whole foods store and buy a vegan cake mix for my husband. We are going to my dad's house to celebrate his and my brother in laws birthdays early (they are both next weekend). As its for my husbands birthday I need to make him a cake that he will actually eat. The cake needs to be made early too cause it needs to sit in the fridge for a few hours, otherwise it falls apart! So after I make the cake I will workout and get ready for the day. Then head over to my dad's house for cards and their b-day party. It is definitly going to be a long day!

The fair was fun. I did end up getting some almonds. I wasn't going to then my husband was like- "come on it's our 10th anniversary- we will only get a small package and share them"- so I did. I totally went over my calories yesterday- but he was right, it was our 10th and only one night. As long as it doesn't happen regularly- I should be okay. So we got the smallest package and split it. They were just as good as I remember them being too! Guess there are way worse things that I could have been eating at the fair!
