Actually he is quite sarcastic....maybe that is why I like him so. A few years back I bought a poster of him on it it says..."hi, Loser". I had it in the spare room forever until recently my hubby moved it to the other spare room with the treadmill in it. Funny, my hubby hung it right in front of the treadmill- so this is what I stare at when I am walking to... Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:25:13 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=987465 Today I finally made it on the treadmill early before work...something I have been trying to do for almost a month. I like the thought of jumpstarting my day with some exercise before I go out to challenge the world at work. The problem has been that I am not a morning person so training myself to get up and do that has taken some mental preparation. Almost a month of mental preparation. Normally I get out of bed at the last possible minute to get ready and head out the door. But I woke ... Tue, 5 Feb 2008 12:32:38 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=957154 Little by little I am making positive changes to help me accomplish my goal of a healthier me. That is all I really want...I want to be able to run and not get winded right away....I want not always feel so lethargic and lazy. I do feel better more and more each day. I am happy that I am starting to come to a point where I actually take the time and look at my portion sizes...I actually stop eating when I feel full and I schedule my exercise time so that I have no excuses. <BR> <BR> Hones... Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:39:01 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=521307 Well we have been back from Myrtle Beach for about a week and I settling back into the groove of things. I behaved and didn't overindulge so I seem to still be on track!!! <BR> <BR> This years Easter trip didn't go as expected ~family did not get along well together this year- thank goodness for seperate campers in seperate sites-lol. It turned out this was the coldest Easter we have ever had at Myrtle in all the years that we have been going down there. Hopefully it will be warmer on o... Wed, 18 Apr 2007 22:35:42 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=483043 Well in exactly a week and a half we will be leaving for Myrtle Beach! I am so excited as the right choices I have been making have started to show. I can't wait to walk the beach and the Easter Sunrise Service on the beach. Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:23:39 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=468066 Thats right! Time to push that fat right out of my thighs and butt and replace it with muscle-lol. Feeling goofy tonight, please forgive me.... I got so excited when I noticed I am actually developing a muscle in my thigh where a blob of fat used to be. That is awesome! Hubby and I decided to make a trip to Myrtle Beach in the RV over easter holiday. I can't wait. We go down every year over easter and enjoy a beautiful sunrise service on the beach. It really puts me in a good place. ... Wed, 14 Mar 2007 22:24:48 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=456238 Well here I am sittling in the comfort of my warm house waiting (not anxiously) for the snow to arrrive. We are due to get 4-6 inches of snow tomorrow. I love how it looks when it first falls and lays on the ground. So pure and white~it truly is a sight to behold (from the inside of the house-lol). I am what you call a spring, summer, fall gal. I am so anxious for the warmer weather to move in so that I can out in my gardens and sit by my koi pond and just waste an entire weekend just put... Tue, 6 Mar 2007 21:40:14 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=446923 Yep, that's right... I am going to quit. Quit looking at the scale that is. I am tired of looking at the scale and the numbers not decreasing as fast as I think they should be. Sure~ the numbers are going down but I want them to go down faster. How in the world can it take so little time for all the weight to come on ? It sure doesn't go off as fast! One thing that I will start doing is measuring how much better I feel! I feel better and better each and every day. My clothes aren't as... Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:52:33 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=433454 I think I have become addicted to working out! Now that is something I never imagined that I would be addicted to. It seems the more I go- the better I feel and when I cannot make it to the gym I actually get mad! I like feeling better, healthier and having more energy. I cannot wait to get on that treadmill tonight! Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:37:50 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=415063 I have been going to the gym now regularly for about a few weeks and I can not believe how much energy that I have! I actually feel like cleaning the house, cooking meals, and all sorts of other things! Not only does it make me feel healthier - it seems to be a cure for th lazy factor! Tue, 6 Feb 2007 15:00:31 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=408363 Well this week I made myself go back to the gym. I must say Monday was hard but I knew I had to start somewhere and if I kept putting it off- it would never happen. So I went. I feel better and better each day that I go. I will make a committment to myself to get to the gym 3-4 times a week no excuses and no ifs ands or buts. This time I WILL stick with it. I am eager for my next weigh in to see if that scale has moved. Thu, 1 Feb 2007 21:48:19 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=384028 Well, I have come to the conclusion that I am giving up on resolutions that last 2 weeks and then are forgotten. Now I am working on a life change. Changes to make me feel happier and healthier. I want to come to a place where its not how much I lose -but how healthy I am. I have been a member for a while but have lost motivation over the holidays. Now I will begin the first day of a happier and healthier me...... Thu, 18 Jan 2007 10:36:19 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=165061 Well, its been one full week and I feel great (a little sore) but great. I really enjoy tracking the things I eat and the exercise I do-it seems to keep me motivated. I love the water tracking it keeps me focused. I am really excited to stay on course this week and see some changes in body soon! Mon, 8 May 2006 19:10:42 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=161518 I am excited for a change. I am trying to make a positive change in my life. I want to look better and feel better and I am on my way! Staying motivated for me is a problem but one I hope to solve soon:) <BR> <BR> Wed, 3 May 2006 10:10:03 EST
