Big kudos to you for working hard at your ffl classes and resisting all the yummy fair food. We've got one going on here right now as well, and it is right outside my gym..lol. The other day while working out I could see some of the concession stands from the gym window, and I thought, oooh, I could stop by after working out and get something. Ha! Luckily there was a huge storm about to hit, so I just made a beeline for my car to get home before the deluge..lol. Divine intervention??

I'm glad Margaret and I could be of help to you. That's what we're all here for.

Hope work is decent for ya.

Well done for getting a nice run of "good" days going on. Those "off track" days are history now and you are becoming the person that you want to be.

I am sorry that you are feeling the effects of your exercise session. At least it is a reminder of how hard you have been working so how much you want this.

The next few sessions should get easier as your body gets used to being tortured.

Elephant rears!! You crack me up! You must have a thing about elephant's rears.

Kudos to you for getting back in the groove. I haven't done too badly here with food, until the family came this weekend of course! But, I will be back on track.

I wish I had a scale, I'm sure I've lost something. I haven't worked out super hard like the classes at the Y. But I have been doing a little something each day. A walk, swimming, or even crunches and lunges in my room.

Well only 4 weeks now! It was good seeing the guys, but I really am glad they've left due to my work load.

TTYL!

Hah!
You now me to well! LOL
Sounds like you had a nice visit with the boys. I am planning on calling them up and seeing if they want to hang out over here for a diversion later this week.
Can't wait for you to get back home!

Well the rest of my weekend went fairly well. If not at least quickly. I ate well on Saturday. Sunday I did have a couple of donuts but still did not go out of my cal count for the day. I just figured them in.
Today started me out with my usual cereal.
After realizing that my kids were going to drive me nuts all day long and that I wouldn't get anything done with that going on, I took them out to the daycare at our church.
Since then I weeded MIL's flowerbed and took the oldest out to Pizza for lunch. I kept the eating to a minimal. That is pizza wise.
I had two really nice sized salads and maybe 4 very small slices of pizza. Three of them being thin crust cheese and the 4th being my all time favorite, chicken club. Though the last one wasn't thin crust...ouch.
I figure that I will treat that as my dinner and when dinner time rolls around I will just have a salad or something lite like that.
I am planning on going to my Power Core class tonight. Which starts in about 2 hours. So if I am going to make it to class on time I need to get doing some things around the house.
Ciao

Oh here is a funny little side note that I forgot to mention.
I have been having the weirdest urge to go jog or something.
I can't seem to shake it. And I am not sure where it is coming from since I have never enjoyed running. I have even made the comment in the past that for me to run I would need either an axe murderer or a skunk to be chasing me! LOL
Sooooo it would seem like I will have to go find a skunk that has nothing better to do.
It's that or pay my 17 year old to chase me with an axe!
Then again I could just try running for the heck of it and see what kinda outcome there is.
I'll let you know.
That is if I don't die in the trying! LOL

LOL! You are too funny with your skunks and axe murders chasing you. I've got 5 raccoons here I could send your way. They could be rabid for all I know.

Have fun at your Power Core class tonight, busy bee.

Maybe you have some pent up energy? Might be time to schedule a date night with hubby.

Oh my Gosh! You guys cracked me up!
Please no raccoons Kimberly. Raccoons and I just don't seem to be able to get along very well. We go waaaaaay back. Suffice it to say that will have to be a story for another time.
As for all the pent up energy............well lets just say I still got it! LOL
And not for lack of trying!

I still haven't gone running or even fast walking. Though the urge is still there. One of the ladies that comes into the gym every morning, who by the way happens to be in her late 60's, runs all the time. I told her about the weird urge and she agreed that for whatever reason my body must be craving it. Sooooo her best advice was to start slow and jog some place close to home. If that goes well go a bit further. So on and so forth.

So I am thinking I just may start that tonight. As my Fit for Life class was bumped to last night. Kellie and a few of the ladies, myself included, are going to go and hang out on a pontoon today. Soaking up some sun. And since they are of the mind set that they may just stay out there until the cows come home, Kellie figured it would be best to get our Tuesday workout in on Monday.

I offered to be the designated driver back to the YMCA but they just laughed me off. So there is my big plans for the day.
I hope that everyone has a great day.

Geez I keep forgetting to put things in my posts!

There was this old guy at the Y today who is 74 years old. He just got some new knees a few months back so he comes up and walks the track every morning.
He is one of the sweetest people.
Well today he wanted to know if he could possibly use the body fat analyzer. I was like "sure no problem".
So I get it all set up for him and he was thinking that his numbers weren't so hot.
So just to show him a difference I went ahead and put my numbers in. Which of course were way higher than his.

Now here is the funny part.......as I am letting the little machine do its thing, he starts looking me all up and down.
He then makes this comment~
"Dang (insert expletive) girl, you sure don't look like you weigh 200lbs. You look good!"
I of course blushed and gave him a big hug.
Then right before he left he asked me what time I get done with work and suggested we could go get some breakfast! LOL
I am not sure if he was hitting on me or what but thought it was too cute.

Just got back from the store getting the groceries. I was so stoked to see that they finally got in pre-made thin crust for homemade pizzas.
The day out on the lake turned out wonderful! I had an absolutely wonderful time.
Though I did forget to grab my suit so was unable to swim. Which in and of itself really wasn't to much of a loss as I really don't like swimming in lakes.
Didn't mind it so much as a kid but now that I am getting older it just seems to wig me out.
Not sure why.
I got a whole lot of sun today. Parts of me that hadn't seen sun in years got a bit red today.
It was really nice to hang with the girls. It is such a rarity for me to get to do that. So many people I think, are afraid to hang out with me, since I am a minister's wife. It's like they think I will judge them or something.
So needless to say it was nice to be included in all the girl talk!
We did eat some junk but I am planning on getting a workout in with my elliptical before I go to bed.
I have been sleeping like crap for the last 5-6 nights and I am beginning to think it may have something to do with my lack of cardio. So I am going to try and wear myself out and see what happens.
Well I need to get supper on the table so will check in with everyone tomorrow.
Ciao

HI Bella!!!

NIce to see you around!!
I see you came to a stumbling block in the road too. Never fear, just get right back on. You will come out even stronger!!

I definetely sleep better after a good exercise and it really helps me with food control. Silly as it sounds the days I exercise i feel like eating a lot less than on the non-exercise days!!

I see you are still going to the Y, how do you like it? Unfortunately I had to give up gym membership for the summer just couldn't work out our schedules with DH.

Gotta run.
Hajni

That's great that you had a good time with the girls out on the lake. I don't like swimming in lakes much, either.

Look at you getting hit on at the gym again. This time by a dirty sweet old man. How about a sugar daddy? Anyway, I would be flattered to death if ANYONE hit on me.

Have fun with the running, and here's a little motivation. Just pretend rabid raccoons are chasing you.

Really how rabid could they be if they have their own food bowls! LOL

Hola Haj!
It's good to see you again.
Yeah those stumbling blocks are a real pain in the butt. Honestly I am quite surprised that I hadn't hit one before I did.
I am still struggling to get back on track but at least now, as compared to before, I care more about the choices I am making. I still don't make all the right choices.
I like the Y still. In fact I no longer work in the pool. I work up in the fitness center which seems to give me more motivation to get moving.
Sorry to hear that you had to let your membership go. But at least you might be able to pick it back up again in the fall.
