Vacation

Thursday, December 27, 2012

Well, taking a vacation from work, apparently meant a vacation from eating well & exercising. I gained 2 1/2 pounds, & feel awful. And, I've caught a bug. It can only get better.

Don't worry about the weight gain. Just begin again and do the best you can. Feel better soon. So many folks are sick right now.

Stressful Day, Wonderful Workout

Thursday, December 20, 2012

I had a very stressful day at work Tuesday. I knew I was stressed & just wanted to eat, but I didn't. I went straight for a workout when I got home from work. It was awesome! Although, I still think about what happened that day, I am no where near upset as I was then.

I know that when I am really stressed out, a good workout really helps me to relax and calm down. I hope that you're feeling better now.

Stress Relief

Monday, December 17, 2012

I'm not much of a stresser, I'm pretty laid back & go with the flow. But, my favorite stress reliever......Bubble Baths! I also work out & meditate.

February Goals

Sunday, January 30, 2011

January was pretty tough for me. I started the year single, then my dad ended up having open heart surgery. My goals will be pretty basic this time around.

1) One of my goals for this month is to be flexible. Dad will be coming home this week and, I will need to be flexible so I can help him.

2) Work out 5 days a week.

3) Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

4) Lose 1 lb a week.

I admire your patience with yourself and dad. Our weight is not the only think in our world! You are such a good example for us all, Victoria
