Hi Angel!
I ate badly today so I'm sure it will be up. I did get a nice walk in with dh this evening. But before that for 2 days nada! I get drained because I give it all to the kiddos I work for.

Well this morning I stepped on the scale and I was under 160! My weigh-in was at 159.5!
I'm pretty surprised at that number and pretty happy with it too. However I didn't exercise yesterday or today. I was just too tired when I got home from work. I know, not really a good excuse at all. But that's how the day went.
I'm planning on getting in some good walks this weekend if the weather holds up. Otherwise it will be on the fit or the elliptical.
Way to Go!!!!
I told you you were looking good today!!
Keep at it girly and you will be where you want in no time.

Got in a walk with dh today. It was such a beautiful day too! Every day I come home there is this line of trees that is so brilliantly colored I just want it to be like that until next spring! I saw someone out taking a picture of it today too.
I wish our woods were colored like that. We have a nice foilage, but this is just a whole row of oranges, reds, yellows, greens, browns, etc. Just beautiful.
Anyway, I know we won't have many more days like this and it makes me kind of sad because I hate the cold. That means dh and I will have to work out together in the basement - he can have the treadmill and I'll take the elliptical.
I got a compliment today from a lady at work. She asked me if I was "melting". I was like, huh? Then she asked if I was losing weight, and I said that I was trying. She said she could see it in my face.
Well I wish I could see it! That and it would just really melt off!

Okay I'm a couple days late posting on this one, musta slipped by me. But wow don't those bring back painful memories (shudders).
Here's luck for ya, I had braces for 2 + years going into my senior year in high school. Got them removed in March, wore a retainer until late May, Gradutation weekend was out riding around with a buddy. He was distracted, no warning, right into a telephone pole. My face hit the dashboard, broke my jaw, had to have my mouth wired for 6 weeks (never wanted to drink a carnation instant breakfast again for as long as I live). Guess what? Teeth were all screwed up again and the retainer didn't fit anymore. $$$$ out the window on orthodontic work.
Parents were not pleased...

Hey there girl! Well thank you!
I don't feel I'm trying hard enough, but I guess the walking is paying off. I weighed in on Friday at 158! I did so again on Sat. so I guess that is my new low. Except that Sat. I took a friend out for a long overdue bday meal and we over did it! LOL So, my weight was up just a little this morning.
Got to go drop some kiddos off at a church function.
Ciao!

Blah!
Well I've been on a blah-hiatus. I just haven't been feeling like doing much of anything. It all started after I painted my bathroom. I don't know that that had anything to do with my mood, but that's my point of reference.
That's been at least 3 weeks now and in 3 weeks I've exercised once - one time!
I have no ambition to do anything. I have been making plans in my head, but that's as far as they get. I don't know if it has to do with fall turning dreary (which I do have issues with), or if I've just fallen into a funk.
Frankly at this point I really don't care. I don't care about losing weight nor do I care about the exercise itself. I feel a lot of stress from my job and I've been having various aches and pains throughout my body (which I have made a dr.'s appt. for.) And yeah, I know all about exercise and how it raises endorphins. But even that 1 time on the elliptical - I didn't get any exercise "high" and I just went through the motions. In fact, I wasn't even sweating when I was done. Blah....
The only good news is that my weight is maintaining, not going up, not going down - just staying in the same range: 158-161 (always getting back to 158.)
I'm not even motivated to get on the Wii fit...

HI SWEATPEA!! Okay, I seriously want to know, do YOU and BELL every take a bad photo???? Really, I LOVE the new avi, you and Bell are so gorgeous, you always look amazing in your pictures. Youthful and alive and happy. I'm so jealous and I want you to know that!. I was MIA for a few months myself. Things have been nuts around my house since maybe May of this year, everything is moving so fast I rarely had time to go online and post, and after a blasting year of going to the gym 3-4 days a week, NON STOP, I finally had to take a break. So don't worry about not being motivated to workout, we ALL go through a period of shut down, it's normal. Just don't let it take over, and your not, your walking and that's great! I'm so surprised and happy that you have got all the way down to the 150's HOLY SMOKES girl, you should be so happy about that. I'm not there yet, but I wish I was, Don't let go of how hard you worked to get there, because it sucks trying to get there, take it from someone who's pushing for that goal right now. YOU CAN DO IT! stay positive and don't let go of what you really want for yourself, and that's just to be healthy regardless of weight.
So are you going to see the Dr soon??? You look real young, so I wouldn't think arthritis, but does that run in your family??? You said you have a lot of pain, so that would be my first thought. Well whatever it is, I hope they are able to work it out for you, body pain SUCKS!
Take Care my dear and have a great rest of your weekend! I'll be checking in on you so I want to see a little uplift, let me know if I can help.

Hey!!! Haven't seen you in so long... Sorry Your feeling out of it. Does this help?How about another...
Yeah let me see, job stress, in this economy? naw, no way, why be stressed? Hope you're feeling better all around. Stop in for a virtual hug anytime...
Thanks! You're the best. I did go and workout on the elliptical last night. And, I actually made an effort.
However, today is a different story again. My job stress isn't related to the economy yet. I work at a private school, so I'm sure it's looming on the horizon.
Anyway, thanks for the good thoughts.

Hey Kim! Thanks for stopping by. I should do better to stop by everyone's journals too. I'm sure that would motivate (or at least help) me.
Yeah, I think I've taken bad photos, those are the ones that aren't posted of course. Ha! I'm sure Bell would say the same.
But thanks!
Actually I'm not walking right now due to the weather. Dh and I were really going good, but I'm not up for walks in the cold and now the snow!
I do have a dr's appt so I will let her know all of my concerns.
Take care!

I finally was able to take a few minutes and read through your diary. I always call my sons Sweet Pea. I read your first entry and see that's what you meant to put when you started this diary. It's kind of cool you typed "sweat" instead ... a precursor of things to come.
I hover at 155-160 for the most part and it's that last 15 that I'm working on to meet my goal. There's a time and a place for everything so don't pressure yourself to be somewhere you're not. You will re-commit on a regular basis to your workouts (which seemed frequent in the first part of your diary). You know how to do it. There seems to be some other stuff going on that you're taking care of. It's all good.
We have stupid cold weather up here in Saskatchewan (although native born prairie people will say it's lovely) so I understand about walks in the snow and cold. I have arthritis in my left wrist and cold does a number on it.
I think it's so adorable your husband calls you Sweet Pea.

Hi!!
Thanks for stopping by.
More than anything I think it's my job. I have to get up early (too early for me - 5:20 am) and then work with kids all day (draining sometimes.) Then come home and spend time wiht the family. With all of that, I don't even feel like cooking a good meal, let alone exercising. Plus, I am feeling pretty run down. Of course exercising would probably help!

That is RANK getting up that early AND working with kids ... I'd be assasinating people all over the place. I completely hear you on exhaustion mother/work factor. Don't even feel like cooking let alone exercising, YES maam. So what's your plan for dealing with the run-down factor? Enough sleep, exercise before cooking, dividing cooking with the man of the house, what? See, I'm learning all this stuff right now too.
Hang in there SweetPea !!!!!
