I have a few of them and yesterday and today I did the Fast 3 mile wak from her Walk Slim series. She is great and I love that she has everday people doing it with her. In the 3 mile walk she has her neice and daughter. The dvd's are so easy to follow and a 68 year old women that I work with does them all the time too. <BR> After reading the comments on my last blog entry I was so encouraged that I did the Zumba Fitness 20 minute express. WOW what a work... Wed, 7 Apr 2010 18:52:22 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3076725 My friend Donna lent me her Zumba tapes. I love the way they break down the steps, but I wonder if I will ever be able to do it with out looking totally silly. I am not going to give up though like I have on so many other things. The workout looks fun and so many other people seem to be able to do it. I did spend a lot of time talking back to the instructors! I think I'll get it if I perservere. I won't be able to do it again for a few days, but once I get going I am making a commitment... Sat, 3 Apr 2010 17:16:01 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2310115 Well, somehow I FOUND 18lbs since last summer. I know how I found it. Larger portions at dinner, snacking at work, eating in front of the TV and not at the table, and ice-cream and popcorn while watching TV at night. Also, not really exercising and spending way to much time on the computer. Obviously I was not spending my time on Sparkpeople! <BR> I realized I had gained that much when I started to get back on track. I dusted off my old food journal that had tons of empty entries and turne... Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:10:51 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=692620 Summer is a hard time to change your eating style. I love hotdogs, cheeseburgers, s'mores, and a beer or two or three. The heat also makes it hard to be motivated to work out. <BR> So we went camping in New Hampshire, and I ate camp food, and had chips while reading Harry Potter by the campfire. It was a great book! And we went to Gloucester (fish and chips for lunch, Uno's in the hotel room )on a whale watch and I had an absolutley sinful Dessert at Romano's Macaroni Grill on the way home... Wed, 8 Aug 2007 21:11:07 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=566519 So I am finally under 200 lbs. I am so thrilled. I have been doing Leslie Sansone walking tapes at workwith some very good friends, and it has helped tremendously. I get such wonderful support from my friends at work, especially Jennifer, I don't think I could do this without her. she keeps me on track and really motivates me. Thanks Jenn!!! Sat, 19 May 2007 08:23:59 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=520566 So I started theAlli yesterday and so far so good. I am lucky to have this week off from work, but I seem to be getting addictied to this site and the alli site I wonder how Iwil ever survive when I have to go back. <BR> This morning I went to Friendly's for breakfast with a friend and found it very difficult to choose something that was good for me. I should have asked for my toast unbuttered but forgot so I just ate around the edges. I did order the garden omelette with the egg substitut... Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:56:27 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=518446 Waiting ever so patiently today, after not getting my alli package yesterday. OK, maybe not so patiently. Now I read on the other site it could be Wednesday at the latest. Even without the alli I can see a difference in the way I do things, for instance, I was just hungry and I don't have any fruit or anything in the house right now, so I grabbed a water and will wait and have a nice big salad for lunch. I also will make several trips up the stairs to my bedroom on the third floor instea... Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:23:55 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=513636 So, I'm off to a good start with the food journal this morning. <BR> Oatmeal crisp 1/2 cup <BR> 1 percent milk 1 cup <BR> coffee 1 cup w/1 tsp sugar, some milk <BR> I also will record this on fitday. <BR> <BR> Today my goals are to do lots of yard work and drink all my water. Sat, 14 Apr 2007 07:55:52 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=513177 ok, starting tomorrow I am going to buckle down and do a better job of keeping a food journal. I have been doing ok, but I really want to keep track of everything. Having a journal really helps because before I eat something I wonder how much fat is in it and do I really want to look back a week from now and say "I ate that? what was I thinking! No wonder the scale hasn't budged!" <BR> I'll update my blog on Sunday to let you know how it's going. Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:59:44 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=501796 Ok, so I really am inconsistant at blogging. But now that I joined a team I really need to step it up. I have been doing a good job at tracking my food and weighing my self. I need reminders about water, I am thinking of setting the alarm on my phone. <BR> I also have to figure out how to update my weight on this site. Fri, 6 Apr 2007 12:06:40 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=391212 I'm not really consistant at blogging, but I hope I can keep this up and I hope I can stick to this lifestyle change.
