Shandy's weight loss diary: Take 3--Action!

So, my day has been fan-fuckin-tastic so far. Woke up on my own this morning, no alarm, no kids clamouring to get up, just rolled over and decided I was done sleeping. boy was that a great change of pace. of course I just so happend to roll out of bed at about 4:30 in the morning. :ack2: but that's okay. I got to chat with a bunch of people on here while waiting for Matt to get online.
Once he did we talked for almost 2 hours. found out he might be coming home a week earlier than we originally thought. so that both rocks and sucks. rocks because, well, DUH, he's home early. sucks because he'll be home a week before the 6 week new years challenge is over. I'll be able to pop on a few times that last week, but definately not everyday. I'll have (no offense everyone) better things to do. ;)

But yeah, that all kicked my day off to a great start. and other than the shitty weather(it's been raining/hailing/slushing all day) my day has continued right along that happy happy joy joy kind of theme. it's GREAT. and hey, I've already had dinner and I've still got enough calories left over for a cup of cocoa and a cookie. :D can't beat that with a stick. ;)
So, while my perky and peppy mood is still in full swing, I'm getting my pilates and 4 miles in. then I'll celebrate with my cocoa. :D

:leaving:
 
Thanks for all your support recently. It's so good to have you back! I know I keep saying that, lol. So does Matt coming home a week sooner mean you get that much more time with him? Hope so :D I'm sure we'll understand you bein on less frequently!
 
Youre doing great with your exercise! 12-15 pounds is a good amount of weight loss, Im sure... he'll notice. Annnnd Im going to leave it at that! :D

KEEP IT UP GURRRLLLLLL!
 
SHANDY! I'm so excited for you that Matt is coming home early! We'll totally be missing you on the team though. ;[

ALSO mm you're crazy for waking up so early. haha oh man I LOVE sleeep. Even if I'm not tired, my lazy a$$ would just stay in bed. haha.. thats probably the reason i'm not in as good shape as you are. story of my life ;]
 
Well, I'm having another fabulous day today. spent almost an hour this morning focusing on my flexability(or lack thereof) with amazing results. I've already noticed an extra inch or two of reach in most of my stretches. so with this kind of progress I should be back to gumby lady status(bend me I stay) by the end of this challenge. that would be awesome.
So, great morning, then during naptime I did 40 minutes of Pilates and a half hour of taebo. so lots of cardio and bodyweight weight training(no giving me shit JZ, 130 lbs is a lot of weight to be doing some exercises so :p). Needless to say I'm feeling on top of the world right now.
I'm going to base tomorrow, so I get to go shopping for more yummy healthy foods(suggestions anyone??? I'm getting sick of spinach, sorry Trops). and since for the moment Russia is being nice I'm grabbing another 800 litres of Propane while I still can. don't want to run out of that in the middle of February and not be able to get any more. that would suck. a LOT.
I'm planning on swinging by the post office while it's still open tomorrow and HOPEFULLY get my stuff from Sears.com. don't know if I mentioned it before poofing from here in November, but we signed up for the Heroes at Home program that Sears was running through the holidays. select military families were given gift cards that people donated to so that military familes with deployed members could still have something to open on christmas. well, we qualified, and were given $180. needless to say the kids are getting a bunch of new toys and books, and Mommy is getting a new coffee pot and toaster. :D I'm easy to please I guess. that whole "no kitchen appliances for gifts" rule doesn't apply for me. I'm just strange like that I guess.
But yeah, so, in conclusion ;) great day so far today, lots of plans for the morning tomorrow, and with any luck, I'll have a new coffee pot for Sunday morning. :D YIPPIE!!!! :party:
 
I love kitchen appliances! Speaking of which I wouldn't mind a new toaster too! We have practically everything else, actually too much! lol. But yeah, stuff like that is great and very useful!

Good job on the stretching stuff! I want to be more flexible too, I'm hoping yoga will help, but it's only once a week, so maybe not.
 
Great job Shandy!!! Way to get out of bed and MOVING!!! NICE!!! Great way to start a day!!! Nice Cardio and BODY weight excercises!!! No words from me... That's weight training at it's most basic... VERY GOOD DAY Shandy!!! :) :)
 
I love kitchen appliances! I am a huge cook/baker. I love it so much. Hope you got some healthy foods! I'm really glad that you have had a great couple of days! Everyone has been staying on track! I love seeing that! Keep up your great work Shandy! I will talk to you soon in chat I sure hope!
 
AWESOME SHandy, no wonder you have a swore back:DLOL!

For the record it doesn't take much to please me or make me happy...LOL...something new is always good regardless of what it is!
 
yeah I did all the cutting for the dragons today. and I did the pinning and drew the pattern for the right dragon yesterday. OUCH OUCH and more OUCH. but its gonna look fantabulous when I'm done, so it's worth it. :D
 
Shandy that is going to look so great!!! Amazing. I love projects and such, I have A MILLION of them I want to do, just need to put them all into action!! That looks so great. I might copy you on that idea when I get my new comforter that should be coming in the mail!

:party: That is AWESOME. It's so great to be so close to your final goal :grouphug: I'm about 1.5 lbs from my mini goal of 140 and 6.5 lbs away from my final goal that I haven't seen since I was 19 years old.....and I just

my legs have never looked better from all the miles I've been putting in. so, even if I don't break the 130's I'm better than Matt's seen me in the past almost 5 years......not too shabby to be able to say that with 4 1/2 years and 2 kids between then and now.

NOT TOO SHABBY!!!!!!!!!! Seriously Shandy, you look great for having two wonderful girls. When and if I meet Baby's Daddy someday, I'm taking a lesson from you! I want to be one of those running pregnant ladies :D And do prenatal Yoga, of course. That's a big IF!

GET BUSY, Lady!

Nice work on the dragons! :D
 
Hey Shandy,

I haven't stopped by lately and wanted to she how you were doing. Only 8lbs from your final goal? WOW thats wonderful! You must be thrilled! I'm happy for you too! And looks like you've been having a great week so far.. hope it continues!! later chicka
 
Hey there...

It sounds like you are doing really well with accomplishing your goals... I think that that's absolutely fabulous!!!

I hope to follow suit... in accomplishing my own goals... :hurray:
 
Hey there! I was wondering if you were still around. ;) I'm sure you'll get to your goal if you can stick with it. that's the hardest part for me right now. I just keep wanting to slack off and that's just not gonna work.
 
Heya Shandy! Great profile pic (and sig banner). Is it part of this challenge thing I am reading so much about tonight in threads? I have been away again (again) and seem to have lost touch with what is going on LOL

Anyhow, just touching base to say HI and I missed you. From today, I promise to be a better thread buddy lol
 
Those dragons look awesome :) I can't wait to see it when it's done. Our den is all fantasy and lots of dragons so I love that kind of stuff!
 
Heya Shandy, Just checking in on you :) Hope you are kicking ass!

I found out all about the group challenge ;) Pity I missed out, but I am sure there will be another one in 4-5 weeks. It will come just in time for a recharge of motivation!
 
Hey there Paul, great chatting with you for a bit today. We really need to get me you and Karl back in the chat room together at some point.

Lisa-Matt and I are both fairly obsessed with dragons(case-in-point:eek:ur tats) so this quilt should fit right in with all of our other decorations. I'm really trying to get it finished before Matt gets home. if I keep pushing like I've been doing I might actually make it too. :D
