Loving walking the puppy!

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:29:50 EST

The puppy has been great with walks. I had been doing short walks with her, so I pushed her a bit and we went for a three mile walk, she LOVED it! So that has been my daily goal!

Slipping....

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:05:00 EST

I have been terrible about getting to they gym and eating healthy. Time to pump it up and get moving!

Puppy Love!

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 10:22:42 EST

The Puppy is wonderful, still a HUGE pain and a lot of work, but well worth it!

New Puppy!

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 20:59:46 EST

Love her dearly, but wow, a lot of work!!!! She makes the kids seem easy!

Getting sick?

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:41:58 EST

I hope not! It is either allergies, or feeling blah from a fun weekend!

Slacking a bit

Sun, 3 Feb 2013 14:39:56 EST

Last week started off with me burning myself terribly, so the motivation to exercise just wasn't there. This week, trying to get back on track!

Keeping it going!

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 09:56:10 EST

I have been keeping on track, working out, eating healthy. Still steady with my weight and I am not losing which is really frustrating, but it isn't stopping me!

Great week!

Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:24:37 EST

I have been doing great keeping with my schedule. Worked my butt off doing hill repeats, very sore for the last two days! Today is yoga day!

So far so good!

Wed, 9 Jan 2013 08:50:52 EST

Training is going well, pushing myself harder than usual. I realized that I have less time than I thought to get ready for my half marathon! Have to pump it up!

Training!

Wed, 2 Jan 2013 10:19:27 EST

Started training for the half marathon, so far so good!

Next Race!

Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:57:07 EST

I am so excited I got in to the NYC Half Marathon!!!

Advocare.....

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:13:37 EST

Well I tried it, I wasn't able to complete the 24 day challenge. First off, very bad idea to do this during the holidays!

That said, I broke out in a rash which I was told toxins leaving my body. Sounded like mumbo jumbo to me. I stopped it all together since it wasn't making me feel 'good'.

Back to exercising and just eating healthy!

Advocare.....

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:13:37 EST

Down 4 pounds!

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:06:49 EST

Happy, but frustrated! I haven't been able to get past this mark in a year. I am hoping this time I will!

Advocare Day 1!!!!

Mon, 3 Dec 2012 10:53:15 EST

I am hoping this works, jump starting myself back to my old weight. I have had several friends that have done the Advocare challenge. I am going for it and hoping this will get me back to my old self!

At the gym!

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:34:26 EST

It has been awhile. I had a routine down working in corporate. I took a break for awhile from both. It felt good to get back into the gym and get my sweat on!

First day!

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:05:17 EST

Today is my first day of the new job! I am so excited and have mixed feelings. I had a great time working retail for a few months while searching. I felt as if I had a true family. That said, I am starting my dream job today. I hope the people are just as great!

New Job!

Wed, 7 Nov 2012 08:08:40 EST

Finally! The job I have been waiting for came through. I feel like I have been going through this for years, job hopping, but I am so happy to have found a job working from home for a company I believe in. Woo hoo!!!

Still interviewing

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:25:20 EST

Enjoying my job for now, but still have two possibilities that may pan out for my ideal job. Hopefully in the next few weeks!!!

First week at my new job!

Mon, 8 Oct 2012 08:13:46 EST

Tomorrow will be the first day. Excited and sad at the same time going back to basics. Too much stress in my life has be going back to my first career, retail. I love it, am very good at it, just hate the hours. I need to get my confidence back, just fear I will lose the momentum I had moving forward in a different career path.

Running!

Tue, 2 Oct 2012 07:46:36 EST

Went running the last two days. It was great to get back on the pavement. Now I need to find a race to sign up for and set a goal for myself!

Rainy day

Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:57:38 EST

Love quiet rainy days to enjoy the solitude. More cleaning out of the old junk and organizing!

Hoping....

Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:23:12 EST

I have been interviewing for several months, not able to find a good fit. Next up? Several more interviews! Happy I am getting this far, but truly hoping something comes up soon. I am ready for my next step that will last me for a long time!!

Last week got away....

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:29:14 EST

Crazy week with hubby out of town. If it could go wrong it did. I wasn't able to get my workouts in like I wanted to. This week started off with a bang! Keep the momentum going.

Trying something new

Tue, 4 Sep 2012 10:59:18 EST

Well, the same old isn't working for months. A girlfriend of mine gave me her workout, heavier with weights, to try out. She has lost a lot of weight, so I am going to give it a try!

Thanks for the comments

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:58:49 EST

Everyone has been so supportive of my ho hum attitude, thank you. It is very nice to get inpirational ideas when things are just not going your way! This week I gained THREE POUNDS. I have no idea what is going on with this body. This isn't me! I have never EVER been one to gain weight if I don't work out every day.

When do things get better...???

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 10:23:07 EST

For about sixteen months my life has been one downward spiral. I had a job that bullied me into quitting. My new job has turned into a horrid joke, and I am on the search again. That combined with aging sick parents so much stress.

I am doing everything right, eating, exercising.......the scale is increasing, my clothes tighter and tighter. My so called 'fat clothes' are too tight. No idea what is happening. The doctor said everything is fine...

Trying, trying.

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 08:50:13 EST

I am exhausted at trying. For four months now I have been exercising, eating healthy (for the most part) and NOTHING is happening. This weekend I gave up. I am still headed off to the gym (that is easy for me) but this healthy eating is just not working.

Still going.....

Thu, 9 Aug 2012 07:16:07 EST

Nothing has changed, but still working out 5-6 days a week and trying to eat healthy. Scale will not move.

Keeping on

Tue, 7 Aug 2012 08:39:44 EST

Still no changes, I keep trying.

Working hard is hardly working

Wed, 1 Aug 2012 08:04:16 EST

I don't know if I can get more frustrated. I went to the doctor to find if there was a reason I wasn't losing weight. Nope. Stress/Age/genetics.

I am eating healthy, working out more than ever, changing up my routine and NOTHING. I am not losing inches, not gaining muscles, just stagnant.

WOW :(

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 10:02:26 EST

Went to the doctor to try and figure out why I am not losing weight, even though I am eating healthy and exercising.

He did tests and my cholesterol is through the roof. NOT GOOD. Sadly genetics. So he wants me to exercise more and basically cut my calories down significantly to lose. My metabolism has slowed due to age.

Hopefully if I can lose this weight my cholesterol will go back to normal.

Pushing myself.

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:35:07 EST

When I am feeling down going to the gym is incredibly hard. I have been pushing myself to go, not working out as hard as I would like, but doing it nonetheless.

Went to the doctor last week to get tests run find out if there is anything going on. I have been eating right, exercising and NOTHING is happening. I was pushing myself beyond my limits and still the scale sits still, my clothes don't fit any better.

My fat clothes are starting to get tight. I am so frustrated...

What is wrong with me?

Sun, 22 Jul 2012 08:40:46 EST

Another job down. On the hunt again. I was so excited when I landed my dream job. Everything that was promised to me didn't happen. I was supposed to work from, was supposed to get training, was supposed to work closely with others until I was ready.

Then this all changed. No WFH. No training. I am disposable.

In training!

Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:37:40 EST

Started this week with my official half marathon trainig. Usually I just run and do strength training, no real schedule. This time I am going to follow a rigid schedule as I want to finish this race and PR!

Monday...

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 07:56:35 EST

Spinning today, one of my favorite classes, walk out dripping in sweat. Hopefully it will help me get out of my funky mood.

Still standing.....still

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:11:56 EST

Still exericising and eating healthy and the scale is not moving, the inches are not coming off. This is so frustrating!

Monday

Mon, 9 Jul 2012 07:34:10 EST

Another Monday, great time to start fresh and get a great workout in!

HOT

Sat, 7 Jul 2012 14:47:17 EST

It is a hot and lazy day!

Still gaining....

Fri, 6 Jul 2012 13:17:47 EST

God I am so frustrated. I am eating healthy, working out and STILL GAINING WEIGHT! It isn't muscle, it is fat. My clothes don't fit, nothing is working. 24

Productive 4th

Thu, 5 Jul 2012 07:48:32 EST

With the 4th falling in the middle of the week, we didn't have any plans. Hubby and I got our weekend chores done, so this weekend we'll enjoy and relax!

Beach Day!

Sun, 1 Jul 2012 15:21:27 EST

Great day at the beach with the family! Ran into some old friends. Good times!

Heh...........

Sat, 30 Jun 2012 09:44:32 EST

Just back in the dumps again. I am hating my roller coaster of emotions.

One day at a time

Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:42:15 EST

I am still not on track, just taking it one day at a time. Stress does me in and I have been on a horrid track with luck lately.

Have been terrible

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:16:01 EST

When I am feeling down I sabotage myself like crazy. I have been so blue lately with work I cannot pull myself together.

Grrr....

Wed, 20 Jun 2012 13:00:58 EST

Finding out new things about my job 90 days in is NOT fun.

Tired!

Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:58:59 EST

I have not been able to exercise this week. Way too busy. I cannot wait until next week when I can get back to it!

One day down

Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:21:32 EST

One day down with the boss, two to go!

Father's Day!

Sun, 17 Jun 2012 10:57:47 EST

Had a plan to go to the beach. Sadly the weather didn't meet up with the plans!! Making the most of it, hanging with the family!

Hot Saturday

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 08:26:32 EST

It is a hot day, looking forward to enjoying some sun!
