Ah you'll def. be out of the 150's completely very shortly Paula... Hopefully Kate and I will be tagging along right behind you... I think we can swing that in 3 weeks!!!

Heck yeah we can NewLeaf! Let's do it!

Didn't eat the best for dinner cuz Josh and I went out (man I need to grow some willpower when it comes to going out!). Anyway, I'm not going to let that discourage me... I'll be up bright and early working out (as will NewLeaf I'm sure;) )and trying to eat better tomorrow.

Workout wise, I did my morning cardio (25 minutes) and my weight training, and took over 10,000 steps (should have been 10,500). And honestly, I have found in the past that (for me) making sure my workouts are consistant has more of an effect on my weight loss than my diet does so... as long as the scale keeps moving, I won't sweat the cheats too much. I can always tune up my diet a little later if I need to. So for now, everthing I eat in moderation and no missing the workouts!
 
exactly! small reachable DOABLE goals! I swear there's nothing better than getting out of one set of numbers(150s for instance) and hitting the next lower group of ten. (140s!!!)

And Id rather mess up some on the eating than miss the workout, because it seems that minor indiscretions are always taken care of with some good hard sweating!

Our bodies are meant to MOVE!!! I have to admit, I CAN eat what I want when I work out, because number one, Im not as hungry anyway, and two, I burn off more easily what I DO eat. Believe me, the secret is definitely the exercise. How many fat marathon runners do YOU know?
 
Paula, way to go.. you'll have to let me knowhow your morning work out went! I hope to get mine in too, but we'll see with guests here! :) I def. will do something, even if juts hitting the neighborhood for a walk with my sister and the dogs! :)

As for the food, if I'm up with my exercise I can maintain pretty well, so no comaplints here. :) Just have to get the weight down appropriately first!
 
Thanks for the motivation Newleaf and Skinnykate... I swear sometimes this diary is the only thing that gets my lazy butt out of bed in the morning! Ha!
Headed down to the treadmill now... I'll post again later.
(P.S. Newleaf, miss ya on Yahoo this morning. :( )
 
Okay, I'm changing my ticker... something about having 17 pounds to lose is kicking my a** mentally. I'm going to go in 5 pound increments from now on. So as of right now, my goal is to get to 148.
I'm having a crappy day... I'll post later.
 
i think changing a ticker is a wise choice. this is ninety percent mental anyways. I say do whatever it takes, to get you there! In fact, Ill try to remember to do that as well if need be.
 
Hey girl! Hope things did brighten up for you through out your day! :) Glad to have caught you on YM! :) If ya ever need, feel free to call!
 
Hello Paulab! I love the way you track your steps. Do you use one of those things that counts them for you? If so, do you find the device to be totally accurate? I've always wondered how those devices "know" when you actually take a step. I think it's great to monitor something like that, you really get a good idea of how much you've moved throughout the day. I need to get one.
 
Your doin great!! You'll be hot for your wedding :) I'm a maid of honor July 2007 and I don't wanna ruin my friends wedding (also on the beach) by being a tub-o-lard :) we'll all do great!!

Thanks JellyBelly! Yes I use a pedometer (doctors orders ;)) and it does seem to be pretty accurate. However, I think it's because it's probably a little more of an expensive one. I noticed the one I got from McDonalds a while ago, isn't accurate at all.
They really are nice though because I didn't realize how little steps I actually take in a day until I got one. It gives me something to work toward which is nice. Thanks for reading my journal. :D

Thanks Jess! I truly hope so! My dress will be here on Monday and I know it's too small (wanted to get something to work toward) so I've got to really stay focused on the prize! :cool: Thanks for reading my journal! All the support really helps.
 
You'll be in that dress in no time girly! :) My rehearsal dinner dress is the same way.. so lets see how nutty we get and who gets there first!;) Keep it up!
 
Hey Paula, sounds great to me! :) I'm going to be pretty tied up this weekend so I wanted to make sure I posted in your journal since I won't catch ya on Yahoo!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Call me if you get frustrated at all this weekend!!! :)
 
Hey Paula! Haven't seen you post here in a bit! Hope you're able to stay on track this weekend girl!! :) Thinking of ya!! My company is gone so I'm free as a bird at the moment.. woo back to the exercising!
 
I'm here NewLeaf, thanks for checking! Just trying to decide what to do about my goals I guess... thinking about taking training and dieting to the next level but don't know if I have the dedication for that yet... :confused:
