Howdy Moon,
Ouchie,sorry about your back the dog food will do it
everytime,for my dog I get the 25 lb or 50 lb bag and I lift wrong everytime!
I wanted to congrat you on 2 oz that is still gr8 way better than gaining.
Have a nice weekend and Holiday,Tammy
 
You go with your 2oz loss!! Perhaps it was wrestling that dog food that helped!! Sorry your back is sore.

Have a good one today. Mwuah!
 
congrats on the 2 oz loss, yes everything counts. Can not build the taj mahal (sp?) without that first brick right??

Sorry about your back. That's why I have a cat, the bag is only 10 pounds. he he he
 
ah... I see the advantage of cat versus dog now! I would love to have both but the dog thinks otherwise. He is a jealous pet....

You all are so encouraging! Makes me smile.
 
Found a few funnies today. Hope some are new to you!! You're the Mama joke queen!!!

Yo mama is so fat, the last time she saw 90210 was on the bathroom scale.

Yo mama's underwear is so full of holes that every time she farts they whistle.

Yo mama is so hairy that she has to part the hair on her butt in order to go to the bathroom.
 
I'm the queen of googling "yo mama jokes" & then passing them on to you! :)

Thanks for the laugh.. the whistling one had me laughing out loud!
 
Just was checking out this site (American Heart Association) for employee fitness programs.. & saw the coolest quote for motivating me to get my ass up & walk a mile right now...

"Research has shown that the benefits of walking
and physical activity for only 30 minutes a day
include:
• Reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
• Lower blood pressure
• Reduce high cholesterol and improve blood lipid profile
• Reduce body fat and control body weight
• Enhance mental well being
• Increase bone density, hence helping to prevent osteoporosis
• Reduce the risk of cancer
• Reduce the risk of non insulin dependant diabetes

As a matter of fact,
you can gain about two hours
of life expectancy for each hour of
regular exercise, even if you don’t
start until middle age.
The benefits are clear: 2-4-1."

WOW. that is a great way to think about it!

Click to expand...

no need to apologize what so ever! We all have lives & I know yours has been busy as anything lately. These are dairies so I don't expect anyone to read them. That being said, its good to hear from you.
 
hey Moon :D i don't think i have ever entered your diary before, and you always have such nice posts in other people's diaries so i decided to pay you a visit. Its great you posted those benefits, sometimes i just forget how useful walking is lol :D i need to put stuff like that on the wall :)

i hope you're having a great weekend
Lena
 
Glad you stopped by & thanks for the sweet compliment on my post. :)

I was hoping to remind myself of the walking benefits & thought why not put it somewhere I could find it later & that others can see it. I'm hoping I can remember to do this with other inspiration as it comes. Just have to have those lil reminders on those days where you just would rather stay on the couch or in bed.

Like today...

I have a friend's commitment reception (they are refusing to actually be "married" until all people have the right to marriage- they are doing all the legal forms to make the partnership official.. power of attorney, equal property rights, etc. therefore its going to be a big reception without having to sit through some long ceremony) to go to later tonight & I have zero motivation to move. I am so worn out from the stress of the work week, I just want to stay cocooned in my lil house away from the rest of the world...well those not online anyway!

Guess I SHOULD get my butt up & walk some or do something useful.. but sometimes it feels so good to just veg.
 
Ok so I made it to the reception... I think I burned bout a 1000 calories stressing on what to wear to something like this & checking & rechecking my closet like something new was miraculously going to appear in there that I hadn't seen before & would look perfect. Plus I think walking for blocks (not flat, but slightly hilly) & taking the stairs 3 flights rather than the elevator should count more in HEELS... which I usually don't ever wear.. I'm not a girly girl in the sense that I like wearing heels... I forget getting me into a dress. I will wear the bridesmaid's dress my sister has asked me to wear, but I refuse to wear one out of the house on my own free will... just don't feel right. I can lounge in one around the house for some reason though.. eh I'm weird.

Ate a lil too much. but I could have done worse. There was blueberries, strawberries, BRIE (I'm in love with this cheese), fresh bread from the bakery, salad stuff, fried green tomatoes, this unchicken patty (which is actually yummy), pasta, & I also had a cupcake. Good news was all of it was locally grown & made & organic.... bad news that doesn't make any of the calories count any less! Oh & I stuck to water & one root beer, instead of drinking wine or beer or something. I knew that since I was uneasy being in a crowd feeling self conscience then if I started drinking it would be no time before I would have guzzled a few too many. I chugged the water instead.

It was nice & I'm glad I got my shit together to go... but now I'm back in my nice comfy bed about to watch some DVDs or crap TV... something no stress or thought has to go into. :)
 
UGggg... ever have great intentions on doing good & then they just turn to crap?

Like I got up... a lil later than normal since I am off today. Actually got some good sleep in last night.. which is a blessing to me! :) Put on the pedometer & decided I wanted to really make the effort to over WAY over the 5,000 steps I pledged I would do daily in the WOMAN challenge. I'm off work so 5,000 is going to be hard as is... but I was determined to do over that. I get up let the dog out... go about my life. An hour later I check the pedometer to see where I am (I was doing silly stuff like marching in place waiting on the dog....all adds up)... well it says...7600 something step!?! I think crap thats not right. I FORGOT TO RESET it this morning! Argh. So now I have to go back & check to see what I logged in last night & subtract that shit. Didn't think of that then ... just reset it. So my count is off today. Maybe I will still go for the 5000 & all that other stuff before is just extra.

Then lunch.. started out healthy.. was going to do something with tuna, a pear... I was checking to see what I had... thinking all these things. Before I know it I instinctively make the tuna into tuna patties (add breadcrumbs & egg & lightly fry them)...yeah UNHEALTHY! What was I thinking....

self sabotage sucks!

Have to remind myself that its all the lil choices that add up. At least I am conscience of what I SHOULD do... at least I am wearing the pedometer... I am moving..

& there is tomorrow right around the corner to try to be perfect in. :)
 
I've met those days, in fact I know that type of day intimately. Sucks, yes. Kicks you in the rear end, definitely.
But you're already making the day better by not bending over and cursing the past but instead holding your head up and choosing better for the future.
You're a fantastic woman, you can beat this day! :boxing:

I'm struggling with a case of the goof offs today... course I had to work.. & course I have a board meeting tonight so its going to be a looooong day.. & of course it has to be BEAUTIFUL outside... which is making me want to run from this place & have some fun in the sun.

I love how people are coming in to buy stuff for their cook outs & day at the beach or on their boat & so excited about it... yet they don't seem to realize while they are bragging about the day they are bragging to people who are stuck in a store that is open for their convience.. so WE HAVE TO WORK.. ug. Way to rub our noses in the fact that you are out having fun like the rest of the world. Silliness.

Well at least I am not over indulging at some picnic on foods that aren't inline with my goals... & in a mean streak way I hope that lady who was just bragging does.. :p cuz she really made me want to reach for a chocolate croissant. I can refrain.... I can refrain.. I can refrain.. :) by venting here....
 
Hey Chica!! Sorry you had to work today, ugh. I know what you mean about customers who brag. I always try to be mindful of that when I shop. I used to have to work all the holidays not too long ago.

Hope you are done with the meeting and are getting to relax some!!! Have a good day tomorrow.
 
Thanks MJ. Today will be better.

Yesterday reminded me of a trip I went on with my parents to the mountains. We stopped for lunch at a golden corral, steak house/buffet type place. It was a Sunday & the family behind us just complained & complained & complained.. nothing was right. Well then they start talking about how this place shouldn't be open on sundays. Must be run by people who aren't good christians... (well that really pissed me off.. I don't think anyone should just judge any one else's religious/spiritual choices or expect them to follow what they believe). Hit me.. if they are so judgemental, why were they eating there on a SUNDAY?!? Supporting the fact that they were open & had people working on that day! lol Took all I had to be nice & not just blast them...some people just come across so stupid.


So I have already had a blueberry bagel this morning & I feel like I could eat sooo much more. Hope this isn't going to be a trend today. Have to guzzle a ton of water to help fight off the urge to graze.
