Hey Korrie I am so glad there are people like you still around to chat with for support and such! I have simlar goals as u I want to keep up with my kiddies this summer and swim and such without feeling blah and uncomfy ;(..My energy levle isnt nowhere near as 3 yrs ago BUT all thats going to change!

TY for the monthly challenge I swear those kept my butt on track..GL to us gals this year we will accomplish alot,Tammy
 
thanks for stopping by Tammy!! i miss my "old" friends!! its not the same w/o you all! Hope your gonna stay and we can do this together! once and for all!!


SO...today I did ok..havn't gotten back to calorie counting yet, but I swear I'lll start it tomorrow...I even bought a journal thing that has 6mths of pages that i can keep track of cals water intake and exercise. I rode my bike for a full 25 minutes straight today! i didn't think I had it in me! I rode for 5 minutes on 10 mph, then 5minutes on 12 then 5 on 15/16mph then 5 on 19/20 and then cool down at 10 again for 5 minutes. I LOVED it!!
 
That's awesome :) Woot for great xmas presents! Did hubby get you some dance music with a beat to go with the bike? That always made it go by quicker for me.
 
Hi Lisa!! No he didnt' but I already have a loaded IPOD, so thats why :) Loving the bike so far, have been doing 25 minutes on it...but I think i'm gonna up it to 2 sets of 25 minutes now.

so i decided today is the day that i'm gonna do this. THe new year is already slipping right past me. I promised my girls i would go swimming with them and I swear I will. I will keep my promise. Food is not worth it!!

also, my oldest will be in jr. high this year, and for some reason that adds stress to me being overweight. Its not like anyone in her class doesnt' know it by now....just I always thought, "sure i'm overweight, but the kids are little, they dont' realize it yet" but jr high...thats pretty old. Surely they've known for a while now...anyways, i can't be overweight anymore. i can't do it.

I feel the same way! If not just mentally then physically as well. I can't ignore how much it's holding me back anymore. But we'll get there :) I have a feeling this is going to be a good year.
 
All the best Korrie. I am sure you do it ...fast and in a healthy way. I will be dropping in once in a while to see your progress and collect inspiration.

Good luck!
 
Hi Korrie! How are you doing? How is the bike? I WISH i had a stationary bike but there is no where to put it in the condo. I also wish i had a treadmill because im too lazy to drive 20 minutes to the gym. I know, ironic huh!!! But sometimes i wish i could just wake up and NOT have to drive anywhere to work out. Like, wake up...then BOOM there's your bike and there's your treadmill!

So my best wishes..and keep us posted.. We want to know that you went swimming with your little one!!
 
Hey Korrie ty for dropping by my diary I was going to post yesterday for yesterday and day before but I was a little upset of my dog.I updated now and I havent gone back on my word!
Yes you can do it and we will lose this weight once and for all ;0) keep up the good work!
 
Hi Everyone!!! Just wanted to let tell you all the good news! My husband is going on this lifestyle change with me :) ITs soo much easier with him on my team!

had a heart attack today...plugged in an old lamp and when i switched it on, sparks started flying everywhere and there was this weird zapping sound!! I screamed and reached to unplug it...but not before sparks hit my daughter on her arm and me on my leg! it was really scary!! lol

Starting tomorrow I'm gonna start posting my diet/exercise...hold me to it! lol
 
lol, THANKS!!

So, todays the day and I"m really excited about it again! Got up and weighed in, 243.5:( At least I kept 7 lbs off from the last time went on a diet. 7 out of the 22lbs...oh well...Looking forward!!

I dont' know how exercise is gonna go today...probably not. Yesterday my husband and I helped move our queen sized bed upstairs and my daughters twin sized and her desk down stairs. Sounds simple enough, but it was HELL, lol!! It took us a full 3 hrs to do that...and my muscles feel sooo stripped today...like, i'm made of jello!

So far today though, I took my womans multivitamin...i've been completely low on energy lately and I hope this helps? I filled up my big water bottle and had cheerios with 1/2 banana sliced in it for breakfast.

Off to a good start, i think :)
 
Glad your hubby is joining in with you! My Yank is on a diet with me now after our horrible eating on holiday! It makes it a lot easier! Hope you're well, Korrie xx
 
Your Yank??? lol, never heard that term before ;) Does that refer to a husband or boyfriend??

breakfast
cheerios w/ 1/2 banana...200

snack
candy bar...DUH!! 220

Lunch
loaded salad...300
 
Ohh, he's my boyfriend :) He's American and I'm from good ol' England so everyone just calls him the Yank here! Lets him keep a little of his privacy ;)
 
Hey Korrie :) Looks like you're doin great! And way to go not being too strict! Better to eat a candy bar now then a whole cake later, thats what I say :D I had a craving for chocolate last week (before all this gallbladder crap started). I ate a skor bar and was satisfied and that was the end of that. My days of focusing on all the stuff I can't have are done. Guess I finally figured out this is more about the long haul and doing better over all then the little stuff. Way cool that your dh is doin this with you too.
