HI, Thanks for stopping by in my diary and write those encouraging words!! Why didn't I start a diary sooner???
I remembered you were going to run the 5K this weekend. I can't believe it's called a 5K and it is a 4K. WTH?? You got cheated, that is not fair!! You should be very proud, you ran it in 21 min for 4 K or adjusted 26 min for a 5 K. Those are great times!!!! It still takes me about 39 min. to run my 3 mile

Look at you Speedy!!!!!!!! Yi-ah Yi-ah!!! So happy for you, even though it was 4K, that is still awesome--did you not give it your best? Eh? EH???
Great job!!!

Das is so gut! It doesn't matter if its 4K or 5K, its still a helluva lot more than most others are doing. You should be highly proud.

Ven mann ist en Deutschland, die alle reden English und ish glaub die lieben das zu reden so mann must nie Deutsch sprechen. My German spelling is surely deplorable.

Do you ever miss St. Croix? I enjoyed living on Bermuda but I got rock fever every 3 months and had to get out of there. But its only 21 miles long so you can see why.

Das ist war!!!It like everyone want to use me to practice their english or other are so proud they want to show off they can speak it and that leaves me with the fehrnsehr aka t.v!!!
I do not miss st. croix i only lived there until i was 5 I then lived in NYC for 5 more years then we moved to Boston so Boston is home for me!I am thinking in the next few years I will be calling Germany home.If I include the time I have been here when I was in the army, ive been here over 7 years

Thank you guys for the support!I just felt cheated but now I am okay!!!
So I decided I need to go to the gym.I have lost my workout tape motivation and thats not a good thing. Recently the baby who slept throught the night from the first weeks of birth decided he needs to start waking up in the middle of the night and its really tireing.I can do the runs but to get up and excercise in the house reallly doesnt work.
So I went to the gym around the corner and they gave me 2 test days. On tuesday i get to try the machines and then i will make an appointment to do a class. I also need to get out of the house alone and meet people so this might be just what the dr ordered!!!
I have been thinking about making some sort of meal plan and or cooking and freezing my food so that its there when I need it because I find myself not making the best choices especially when there is nothing on hand.
Hopefully this week will be a good one weather wise that way I can try to stay out of the house as much as possible.
I think my son is self-weaning because he doesnt really seem interested in breastfeeding only at night.Its a bitter sweet feeling-I like the closeness if gives us plus the extra calories it burns to produce milk but I hate having to be the one to feed him and not being able to try to take in a little less calories without it messing with my milk.UGH I will try to hold on as long he wants to though because i think he is my last baby and I dont want to loose that babyness.

HI Rimay,

This used to be my biggest challenge. This is how I do it now: at work lunchtime I am planning the food for next week. I have two great websites I absolutely love: vegweb.com and fatfree.com.
I print out the possible recepies for the next week (usually try to eat one dish twice) and pick up any ingredients I am missing on Friday. Then Sunday is my "cooking" day. I cook about 3-4 dishes for my family(not fat free or diet) and about 3-4 for me. The rest of the week is easy then. On the nights I had nothing planned I just have a veggie burger or a nice salad. Of course my daughter is watched by grandma on Sun. so I can have my cooking frenzy.
I don't know if this helps. Just like you said if my food is not planned out I typically made the wrong choices
Have a great Monday morning. It is 11.23pm your time!!

Hey there - woohoo on the gym - I think it iwll be good for you - nothing spells motivation like money - ha ha ha...I wish you luck in the gym scene

Hanji I may try that I tried to make lunch and dinner today early in the morning-I made pasta with tomato sauce and a pizza-So I broke it all down into calories and the pizza had 2000 calories with the peppers cheese corn and mushrooms-so my plan was to eat about 500 calories worth so 1/4 it didnt work out that way i ate 1500 calories worth but throughout the day so I am not mad and for breakfast i had oatmeal for 190 cal or something like that so I didnt do bad today even though I ate almost the entire pizza
I missed my run this morning because I was so freaking tired from being up with the baby but thank God for my lazy ass husband he pissed me off by not doing anything in the house and deciding to come home and sleep while i handle the 2 kids and clean so I decided I was going running at the kids bedtime-LOL It was pouring like crazy but I really didnt care i went out and ran 8km in the rain and it was awesome-I did 10 minute miles and it took 50 minutes.I feel great people were looking at me like I was crazy but I didnt care I love running now and I really dont care-I also burned a whopping 565 calories!!!!YaY me!!!

That is so true and I dont like to waste money so you better believe I am going to use the hell out of my membership!!
Everyone in the gym is going to know me(well thats not to hard being a big booty black girl in my neighborhood)I am going to enjoy it!

Wow Rimay, 8Km in 50 minutes, and in the rain!! You are truly an inspiration girl!! Keep up the good work, those lbs are going to be flying off you!!
I tried to make pizza a couple of times. It never came out good, so I just gave up!!
Congrats on the gym membership. That is how I started. I only went because I did not want to waste my money. Now I am enjoying it and I made so many friends that I care about and sometimes i just go there to catch up with everybody.

Join the Lazy Hs Club. Men really are so nervy, glad you took your run while he got stuck putting the kiddies to bed. We really must just run off sometimes for them to do anything! The pizza sounds fine if that's all you had along with the oatmeal, plus that run was good. A very good day it sounds like.

Lazy ass DH! LOL!!

OMG I am totally losing inches-I bought a new bra today because my old ones are getting big-I was wearing a 38D and so I bought that size and its waaaay to big. I havent done the measuring thing because I am just too lazy and I havent weighed myself in days because I started to become a slave to the scale but this is really showing me something is happing in a good way!!
I am off to my test day at the gym i will write more when I get back!
