So I got a couple of loads of laundry done, all the dishes washed up, dusted the dining room and living room, swept the kitchen floor and vacuumed the living room, kids play area and dining room today.
And I still mananged to get in that walk to the library, which took round trip about 1 hour and 20 minutes. As T-Dawg and I swung by sis's school to pick her up on the way home.
Walked to the ymca tonight adding an additional 40 minutes to my walking time today for a total of 2 hours!
Could of had another 40 minutes but opted for Sweetiepea to drive dd and I home.
Sat my butt down to watch the Biggest Loser finale, so glad that a girl won finally! Would have liked to see Kelly win but Ali literally worked her Arse off so she definately deserved the win!
Well that wraps up my day.
So guess I will catch ya all later.

That's alot of walking, and alot of cleaning! Wanna come do my house?

I was glad to see a lady win The Biggest Loser, but I really had no favorite- I liked then all.

Man you got that right. And you must remember that my walking partner is only "just" five years old. I'll have that boy whipped into good physical shape before he hits kindergarten at this rate!!!! LOL
As for coming to your house to clean............just let me grab my super cleaning cape! 'Cuz without it I can't get a thing done. hahaha

Real Quick........
I think that I must start out the majority of my posts that way!!! LOL
Got in a 30 minute walk this morning taking dd to school. Hope to get in another 30 picking her up.
Weighed in this morning at 185.8!!!
That is a 1.4 pound drop from last week!!!
Also that puts me at 44.2 pounds lost overall.
I don't know why exactly that seems like such an unreal number but it does.
Well anyway just like the first 2 words say this was real quick!
Catch ya all later!!!

Well I'm a tad sore, but nothing like the leg workout. The only bummer is is that dh said that once the membership is up, I can't renew. Because it doesn't look like anyone else is interested in the Y, it's too much $, and gas prices...those were his words...not mine. I even hinted that maybe I'd just take the class w/o the membership...nope.

So I dunno. I know this session runs until June, so that will be good. And I won't be able to sign up for the next session since I'll be leaving for training 2 weeks after that.

Oh and the last week of April, I won't be able to make class due to the Gatlinburg trip...so guess you will have to workout with Kelly!!

Can you come clean my house? Please! LOL JK! Of course since I'm actually working now, dh said that we'd all chip in...uh when is the "we all" going to start their part? They do it only if I ask or tell them something needs to be done. Of course dh doesn't understand why I get so irritated to have to clean during the week...says I could leave it until the weekend. Well, um I don't want to be cleaning all weekend!

I did watch parts of the BL last night. Ali looked really good! She surely deserved it. I didn't get to see Kelly though because I went to take a shower and when I was done confetti was flying.

I guess the Prevention mag I'm reading right now has a BL makeover, I'll be passing it on to you when I'm done.

: party:

WTG!!



Did you just try to call me? I just realized I heard the sound of my cell...LOL Oh wait my phone is ringing...guess it's my mom.

There is no way on earth I would work full time and do all the house work. You two need to whip your H's into shape! Women are not men's slaves or maids ya know.

Congrats on losing so much weight and getting in so much exercise this week. You blow me out of the water! I honestly don't know how you do it--work, exercise, family, cleaning--you truly are superwoman.

Gratz on your loss to date, Girlie!

Ever have one of those days that start out really well and you just know that it is going to end the same way but it doesn't ?
Today was my day. Weighed in at exactly 186 pounds. Only .2 higher than yesterday. But not to worry we all know how things go up and down.
Got up early to make the family French Toast, I had none of it myself. Stuck to my Eggbeaters with fresh chopped veggies and a sprinkle of cheese.
Hubby and I were going fishing so I packed up some "safe snacks". Almonds, bananas and grapes.
Went fishing. Ahhh it was so peaceful. We ended up fly fishing off someones pier. The birds were twittering and there were these ducks just swimming around. A light breeze was blowing. Just enough for me to have a lightweight hoodie on. But as the sun came up it warmed up quick. I never did catch a fish though I did get several "hits". Did see a turtle. A little Red Eared Slider. Stinking thing! LOL He's probably the reason I didn't get any fish.
Fished for about 2 hours and dh had the idea of heading out and grabbing some lunch. I was all for that thinking that we would eat somewhere somewhat healthy. Dh chose Mexican. I was cool with that thinking I would just get like a fajita or a salad. But they never ever "just" bring you anything!
So I ended up getting the fajita. Which came with rice (YUM!), beans (extra YUM!!) and of course a huge helping of tortilla chips (extra super YUM!!!)
Needless to say I ate way more than I should have. My tummy was hurting before it was all said and done.
I didn't feel any better by the time my class rolled around. So I didn't go. I know that Kellie was disappointed but I didn't want to go all Biggest Loser on her by yacking all over the Fitness Center floor.
Ds and I did get in a 30 minute walk. Not much but every activity counts.
Later on my tummy was feeling better so I went out and started prepping one of my flowerbeds. Got to thinking about how I had promised my dd that we would go to the park today so piled the kids in the car, headed to the ice cream parlor (heck I already blew my calories out for the day so I figured I might as well let this be my free day) and then headed to the park.
Came home and just about 20 minutes ago I finished my final snack for the day........Flan.
If you have never had Flan you are missing out. It is a sweet custardy treat that has a caramel sauce. OH YEAH BABY!!!!
It is the bomb.
So there you have it.
The day that didn't end anywhere near to the way it started.

That was a long day for sure! You were just getting revved up for what was to come.

I don't think you're choices were THAT bad. A fajita can be healthy, so ya had a few chips? Just know you will have to burn em off. And an icecream treat on occasion is ok too. Don't deny yourself all the time or you will end up binge-ing. I'm no expert of course, only my opinion.

So head to the Y today and work extra hard to balance it all out. I'm sure it will all come out in the wash, and if no? You know why.

Thanks Yarm for the words of encouragement.
I didn't go to the Ymca. But I did head into work early yesterday so that I could pick some extra hours. I ended up orderfilling for 4 hours. Now that is a workout. You know you got to be working hard if your in a freezer and your sweating your hinny inny end off!!! LOL
The only thing is I didn't drink any water (I mean ANY) all day. So today I am feeling like a desert took up residence in my sinus' as well as a bit bloated.
But that is all something that can be fixed.
Have a great day.

I hate my job!
There I said it.
Okay maybe not actually my job per say, more the people who I work with. And not really hate, more along the lines of intense dislike. And not always.
Just feel like lately that I am being hen pecked to death. Over some of the most minute things.
Pick, pick, pick!!!!
Arrrgggg!!!! Leave me alone already would ya. That is what I feel like telling them.
But I never will.
I am too nice.
Though I did ask them last night if this was high school all over again?
I mean everytime someone's undies get in a bunch they run to the bosses who then pull the undie bunching "offender" aside to say "so and so says", or "people are saying."
I just want to tell people to GROW UP ALREADY!!!!
Okay so I just really needed to get a few things off of my chest! LOL
Thanks for listening.

Uggg!

Fortunately, I work in a small office and have only had to deal with a handful of those kinds of folks over my 15yrs at my job. I too have had to make reference to, and actually said to the person, about whether or not we are still in high school or not. It's hard enough to deal with constant negativity, but when you bear the brunt of it, its really stressful.

Vent here, but try killin' em with kindness. Say and do the minimum you have to with these people. Don't waste any energy or emotions on them, if you don't have to.

Sorry you had a rough weekend!

Just try to keep in mind that people who run to the boss over every little thing, and are quick to criticize do so b/c they are insecure or unhappy with themselves. Misery loves company, eh? Keep your chin up, girl. And this is your diary--feel free to vent as much as ya want..lol.

The cool thing is that you and H got in some good alone time fishing together. And you ate some very yummy food.

I'm sure you burned off all those calories working so hard over the weekend.
