Another week. I can't believe its almost May. I started using SparkPeople at the beginning of January and the time has flown by. I've come a long way since then. I learned to eat properly, to exercise properly and generally how to have a better and healthier lifestyle. It's true what they say, you can't lose weight until you are READY. I was ready and I'm still motivated like I was the first day! Go Sparks!

Sunday-Another weigh in

Sunday, April 25, 2010

I lost 2.6 pounds. Which is a surprise! I over did it this week, but maybe that helped. I've been at a stand still and maybe the extra food pushed me over and helped me move along. I'm suppose to eat somewhere around 1600 calories. I find this hard to do but this week I ate more and made that count of 1600 all week and it actually helped! Boy, I've been hungry. I know that "time" is around the corner!

Great job on getting that stubborn scale to submit to your will! ;) That darn thing drives me crazy sometimes! Report Inappropriate Comment

Congratulations for finding the safest method to make the scale move in the downward direction. Report Inappropriate Comment

Rainy Saturday

Saturday, April 24, 2010

I have a simple plan today--being as lazy as I can! I went and rented some movies, To Kill A Mockingbird and cartoons for the kids! Not alot of movies out that I want to see-so let's go with a classic! I don't plan on doing much today but watch my movie and perhaps read a book. I love thunderstorms! It's so peaceful! I feel a little sore from working out yesterday! It was a great work out! Tomorrow is weigh in! Can't wait! I'm hoping before the end of the month I might make the 210 range. If not, it'll come in time!

Rainy days are perfect for a movie or a good book. I collect movies: classic films and detective stories. Add a cup of tea, a fire in the fireplace - and it's heaven on earth. Enjoy your day! Report Inappropriate Comment

My Friday morning so far...

Friday, April 23, 2010

My son (2 1/2yrs) refused to get himself dressed this morning. I went to dress him and all hell broke out. He was completely outraged that I would help him. My daughter informs me there is a dance today after school and wants to go--so she needs her dress (the one that's in the hamper dirty). I weighed myself this morning. Thank goodness the "official" weigh in isn't until Sunday because I gained some weight this week. On a good note, I bought some skim milk to go with my cereal. It was actually pretty good! I'm off to my sociology class this morning...I got a test today...tops off my morning!!

Your life sounds similar too mine. Don't you just love the last minute school things? Skim milk is a lot better than it used to be; that is all we drink, at first my kids didn't like it so I slowly went from 2% to 1% to 1/2% & then skim & now they dont have a problem. good luck in school & weight in.
