Accountability

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Yup - it's all about accountability.
It's about not rationalizing everything!

I'm really good at it!

I spent a weekend with a girl friend - eating our way thru denver , then to Fresno for work, knowing it was my last week out there - so ate my way thru Fresno, then off toe Seattle to help the hubby - again a new place to eat, and drink... then home for 5 days and out to mom's and she made all my favorite things... eggplant, breaded chicken, etc etc... and i ate it all.. and i balooned... man. i hit i number i have never seen.
As of today - i'm almost back to my "heaviest". Well snap - that sucks...

But at least the trend is down, i've ramped up workout to burn more calories, or at least sweat more!

We are heading into another weekend known for eating and of course i'm hosting... at least when i host i tend to be too busy socializing and making sure most other people are ok before checking on me!

Aiming for a bike ride and hike too! And some relaxing!

I re-checked my goals that i put in place as of the beginning of the year and some are doing ok, but some, i need to check up on and take care of me!

Cheers!

Devil's Backbone Hike (photos)

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

First hike of the season - oh thank heaven!
It was great! We took the pups, did a little over 4 miles, just a 900 foot elevation gain, and just a little rain right before we got back to the car!



The main reason to do the hike was to see the keyhole - to have lunch there...
Alas it was raptor or raven breeding or brooding season... so we had to make due with seeing it from afar. One of the trail runners said that we should be happy since the area was the greenest he had ever seen it.



Lots of red dirt! We and the pups got baths after we got home!



And a couple more cool rock formation pictures!

One foot in front of the other...

It's my motto for doing my stair climbs and seems pretty apropos for how to get along!

I've been doing pretty good this week getting my tracking in - what takes the most time is getting the new recipes i keep trying into the tracker so i know what i'm eating! Today i had to enter at least 2... oy!

Goals:
I've got a girl friend coming this weekend - i need to keep up my exercise regimine, and watch what we eat!
I'm traveling for work starting sunday - gotta make sure to split meals and watch my snacking
I'm traveling from work to a conference that the hubby is putting on, so more opportunity to not eat well...
I'm got to stay on track for the next 10 days - let's see if i can keep my tracking going!

Thoughts!
Gotta take care of me!

I've found several of the recipes I try already in spark recipes. Its worth checking ahead of time because someone may have already found that one. There are a ton of skinny taste, tracheal ray, and Emily bites recipes already there. Of course if you are creating them....well you have to suffer through :-) Report Inappropriate Comment

You're so good! I never manage to keep up the food tracking for more than a couple days, I just get so bored with it. I need to be better, because it does help. Keep up the good work! Report Inappropriate Comment

Finally got around to watching it. Pretty interesting.

Got the hubby interested in this as a way to get his veggies, since he hates veggies!

We are working on obtaining a juicer, and trying to find some interesting recipes.

We are thinking of doing it just for breakfast and seeing how that goes!

Yeah for fruits and veggies!

Oh my goodness, at first I thought you were posting that as your status and I was like what happened??? I assume you're talking about a movie. How sad. Report Inappropriate Comment

Hey there april

Tuesday, April 09, 2013

ok, now where did April come from?
Luckily or not so luckily in denver we get a snow storm in april to trick into remebering that spring isn't quite here yet! (thankfully it was before the hubby coulnd't be convinced out of buying all his spring plants!)

I've taken a smidge of a break for pretty much everything on the internets which included my spark peeps and my spark stuff! Sigh.

Goals for april:
Food Tracking (i've been doing a smidge better, but need to keep that up)
Yoga - keep working on once a week!
Get ready for hiking season
Control or keep track of emotional eating

I've got a wedding this weekend, and hopefully some bathing suit season later in the season... Let's work toward that!
