MoonGoddess's Path

Yeah just the treadmill. & just some... not a runner by any means...YET. But it was getting to feel good picking it up a bit now & then.
 
luckily I am running my ass off today, so I know I will be over the 5000 steps for the challenge. What a bummer though...
 
I am constantly amazed with the laziness of people.

As I have said before we are up fitting a unit on the second floor of the building for our offices. We are going up daily to check out the progress of the day.. ceiling tiles, paint, trim work, carpet, etc. Everyday it gets more exciting we are getting so close.. anyway its on the SECOND floor, meaning there is ONE flight of steps to go up. They are outside in the fresh air & nice warm sun, yet there are employees.. who refuse to take them. They insist on the elevator & don't see why I am "afraid" to ride in it...(well I have actually been in a stuck elevator, which freaked me out big time) but really ONE flight of steps... insane. I am loving those steps & happy to be adding them to the daily routine. Hoping the extra up & downs will help shape my legs some.

I am planning on going up & down ever chance I get... extra steps & added stair steps!
 
I feel like a big ball of brie.

Had some for lunch, on some fiberous whole wheat organic crackers (trisket like..yummy) along with some cherries & lotsa water & now I feel like a big ball of creamy goo. Ug.

Still don't even begin to understand how some liquid that comes from an animal's boob can turn into so many things... butter, brie...cheddar, mozzarella...etc. What in the life of milk makes it decide what path to take in life. I think I would be a big brie of cheese... cuz it feels pretty good although blobbish...

On a good note I was surprise this morning to lose a pound the same day that my dear aunt flow came for a visit. Typically I gain some around this time... I know too much info.
 
So I finally bit the bullet & went & got the bridesmaid's dress ordered. What a total load of crap. First they didn't even have one near my size to try on so I had to try on another dress... hope they are cut similar! Ended up being in between sizes. Could have done the smaller size ok, but better safe than sorry me went with the larger one. I will have to do alterations. Hopefully to a smaller size. Dunno just felt pointless.

Plus I feel like I am being pessimistic in not going with the smaller one that almost fit. Like I don't actually believe I can lose a few more pounds by October.

I know I can.
 
bridesmaid dress sizes are scary anyhow -so don't even worry about what size you got and know it will be altered :) can't wait to see how awesome you look in it :)
 
As long as it will fit & I can breath.... got lucky with the black color.

Got up today & watched a few fit-tv shows & got to thinking about how I used to be. I used to love working out & doing all kinds of things when I was younger. I had such discipline. (course too much after a while, but I'm not going down that road again.)

Decided to add to my list of daily goals.

I will get back on track with taking a good multivitamin (I like New Chapters Everywoman, which you have to take 3 times a day, spreads out the dosage so you aren't just pissing it out- sorry kinda graphic, but its true). Also I am going to get back on track with taking a probiotic. See how I feel after a week or so of being back in the vitamin habit & maybe add in some extra b-vitamins for energy if I need them.
I realize that my mood & energy level is much better when I do take the extra time to get in the vitamins, but for some reason I get lazy now & then & stop taking them. Time for me to begin again.
 
Hey Moon!!

You're that girl!! The one who takes the steps! Congratulations!!! I'm not that girl lately, but always admire those who choose to flex some muscle over taking the easy way up. My knees pop and grind with each step, so I try not to do it often. It's great exercise though, and when I'm in good shape, I take the stairs too.

Bridesmaids dress!! Oh, once I had to do the same, try on a different size too, that always makes you feel great when all the cool dresses only go up to a 10. I got the smaller size, lost a little bit of weight and when they took in the dress, they took off and extra inch in the waste, more than they were suppose to and the thing was so tight when I got it back. I didn't have time to fix it. What a nightmare, thought I'd bust out of it when I started eating carbs at dinner. Good job getting the bigger size!!


Good daily goals! I remember when I was younger too, I would never have let myself get too far overweight. WHere did that person go? Did I kill her? Sheesh.

Have a great weekend Friend!!! Stay strong for both of us. hehe
 
ugh. I doubt I would be taking the stairs if my knees were doing all that. Hope it improves. Im sure losing some more weight will be good for it.. a little extra motivation.

I would die if the dress was so tight that I couldn't eat at the reception. This girl is going to enjoy some cake! lol
 
Hey I wanted to wish ya a happy safe holiday weekend and ty for stopping by!!I stepped away for a few days but I will do lots of reading and catching up when I come back thurs!!Tammy
 
Ahh the move is kicking my butt, but I am loving having a nice big office with a window... doesn't open so no breeze, but then again not on the first floor anymore so no worry of looking out the window to see people walking around behind the building.

Oh a happy note, my friend got back from his deployment this weekend!!! I'm so excited to see him again. We are going for a beach walk & pizza this weekend. I feel bad knowing that I will be drinking beer & eating pizza this weekend, but I'm trying to be good this week to make up for it. gotta live life every once in a while.

Unfortunately, my twin sister has the cracking and popping knees too, and she is 60 pounds lighter than me. I think my knees are bum for good, but I'm still going to use the heck out of them.

Yes, tight dresses don't work. I was so hungry I ate too much carbs at the wedding and the dress started to turn on me. Thought I was going to be cut in half at the waist when I started to bloat. lol You'll be fine!!! Just go to a good seamstress.
