SkinnyKate's Diary

Kate thanks! Glad to be encouraging others!

You're doing great.. so keep at it!
 
SkinnyKate,
You, me and Newleaf are all about the same right now! Keep up the good work and congrats on the two pounds! You are doing awesome! BTW- Heck yeah, show it on the ticker.... I would! :D
 
Why oh why are mornings so hard for me? Not all of em, just some of em. Six yr old daughter woke up in the middle of the night (I think a nightmare) and was wiggling in my bed in the wee hours of the morning. I can always take a nap, but can't. WONT! Got to get my breakfast and get out that door. Ugh. That will sound better in a little bit. I only woke up fifteen minutes ago. H took kids to school(yay!) Im a cranky ol bear some mornings, and today is definitely one of those mornings. I need a handful of grapes. Water. Time.

I need to try to get going here in about fortyfive minutes out the door. Need to work some today. Blech. Will come back when Ive woke up more. I will be my old self again after walk. *yawn*

Keep going girl ! You are doing fantastic ... I know some mornings are not the greatest haha believe me!!! Like today for me .... Ughhhhh. I'm crabby, I have cramps ... bla bla bla haha* But we can get thru it :) And GOOD FOR YOU for your 4 miles today! Holy cow! Yay!!!
 
thank yall!

Isnt it amazing that the walking or working out itself can motivate you to keep going because it just makes you feel so good. If I can get my walking shoes on, and my headset ready, amazingly my feet just walk me right out the front door, whether I want to or not. Thanks feet!
 
Hello Skinny Kate! Could I borrow those feet of yours? haha. I need them to get me walking. I don't know why I always feel like a spectacle when I walk down the street. I feel like everyone is looking me up and down. That gives me an idea, I should start walking somewhere else. haha. I think I'll go stroll along the beach for a bit today since the sun is out.

I popped in to say hello and to thank you for supporting me in my journal. I admire you raising 4 kids for the last 20 years or so and still counting. I wish we lived closer, I'd take you out for some dancing and fun. It looks like you are doing great so far, keep up the good work. Your 4 mile walks are motivating.
 
just sit down, look at your feet, and give em a good talking to.:D Tell them "I expect you to do as your told and get to steppin!" Just like that. hehe.

Thanks for saying that about the kids. I lucked out and have pretty amazing and wonderful kids. Only one rule in the house. Respect. Them for me, for themselves, and each other. Seems to have worked out ok. Then again, Ive only 'raised' two teenagers, with 2 more to go.:D

Dancing...oh man. Girl after my own heart! My H wont do it. Luckily he doesnt mind my dancing with others on the rare occasion we go out. Lots of times Ive danced with the girls on the even RARER occasions I get to do that! And funniest of all, I raised all my kids on AC/DC, Metallica etc, and love love love heavy metal hard rock old rock alt. rock....though I can be content with classical and even some hip hop!(funnest to dance to!) I grow tired of the same ol Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin, but it seems like my peers are all still stuck there and dont give anything new a chance.

Now I have a son who plays some mean guitar and is in a local band, 16 yr old daughter who is hearing impaired but plays flute, and 13 yr old son is taking up the trumpet. Youngest daughter of almost seven sings OPERA -type songs, and sings like a bird! Im biased though.

I swear I think Im the only head-banging-42-yr-old mama driving down the road where I live! And why not!!!!! Having fun is part of my life, and if it doesnt come to me, I make it happen! That's what I was missing about being thin. I got big again, and forgot to dance!!!!

Well no more! I wanna REALLY live!
 
Just saw your post Trusylver! Hey there! It wont happen all the time, but then again, the way you motivate when it comes to activity, maybe I will!!!
 
You're too cute. Head banging Momma. I like that. I remember those days when guys rocked out with long hair. It's good music. I find myself stuck listening to 80's often. I just really enjoy it. I listen to the new stuff and like it, but the lyrics are just getting really crummy. Good beats, but no meaning, just trash talking. But then again, there are plenty of good ones these days too, so I shouldn't be too hasty in my generalizations.

Sounds like you have a talented group of kids. That's great. I still can't imagine having any. I just keep thinking that I can barely take care of myself, that's why I have so much admiration for women who can raise their kids and raise them respect, something that is becoming rarer every day.

I plan on getting out and shaking it as soon as my body isn't shaking. haha I miss going to the clubs and doing my thing. One of the last times I went dancing, I was knocked off balance and hit the floor by the guy who asked me to dance. Falling when you are heavy really sucks. I took it as a sign to lay off for a bit until I could get in better shape. lol

You never know, perhaps one day a group of us could get together and have a Ladies night out. That would be a blast.

I tried telling my feet what was up. They said the sun went down, it's getting to cold, and I think my right foot just flipped me off? Can you believe that? Geez...:D

Omg... I just read this, and it reminded me of when I was 19 and I was at the club, I wasn't heavy then but my friend hadn't seen me in a few months and she'd had a few drinks so proceeded to run to me and hug me and knocked me down!!!!! I couldn't get up and had broken my ankle! So a strange guy offered to take me to the hospital (I know, I know bad idea) we were there almost all night in emergency and getting my ankle wrapped up til I could get it casted on the Monday. Then... he wouldn't stop phoning me!!!! My friend still says it was my fault I fell over! As if! LOL.

Broke your ankle? That really is a tragedy. I luckily wasn't injured but my ego was a little bit. I felt like everyone was looking at me and pointing. "Look out, chubby girl down, chubby girl down!" I felt like a tree and wanted to yell timber as I was tipping down. It took me a second to take it all in and get up. I think I limped off in an attempt to make sure no one that I actually knew could see me. The stranger taking you to the hospital is too funny. Believe me, I've had those moments where the next day I think-- who the heck was that guy and what made me give him my real number? I'll have to remember that about excited friends taking you down for the count. I have a few of those kind who practically jump on you. I even have a friend who always bruises me she gets so excited to see me.

Awww... I'm sure that's not what they were thinking, they were probably thinking that poor girl!!!

I know my friend is very aggressive so yea she took my 105lb frame down for the count! I remember being quite embarassed! Not too mention I was jogging every day so that screwed up that! LOL.

Watch out for those excited friends!

cheers

Im about to hit the hay, Im beat. Im a little concerned that Im not getting what I need. But I swear I eat until Im full. Im trying really hard to fill up on more fruit and vegetables. But Im thinking I need to see if maybe Im underestimating my calories.(I mostly go by memory, unless it says the amount of calories per serving. Like the artichoke. Kind of like asparagus, it seems like there are more calories in it than what there is. It just tastes sooo gooood.

I triggered on a stupid Kisses commercial. Couldnt believe it! Chocolate isnt even one of my downfalls! Well apparently it is, when Im losing weight! That was what made me decide to cook an apple. Somehow it tastes sweeter and better with it cooked and some cinnamon on it; It was like eating an apple crisp without the crisp! I also sprayed a lil butter cooking spray and lemon juice on it. Very very tasty.

Walah! Chocolate Kiss craving went poof! and now Im ready for a HARD sleep!


and please, remain upright and steady for the remainder of your losses, ladies.:D
