Veronique's Diary

Good for you for doing a lunchtime walk :) I'm unfortunately NOT that motivated, lol. To me, my lunchtime is a nice relaxing time away from the job; sit and chill. ahhh. lol. Hope everything went well with work yesterday!
 
Ok so I am pround to say I walked at lunch not a power walk but a slow lesurly 20 min walk with a co worker but as soon as I stop caufing I am gonna start walking everyday weather permits and since I am gonna be alone starting tuesday then I am gonna have no excuses!

That's wonderful! My sweetie and I walk at least twice a week together. Every time we do I end up with a nice lighter scale number the next day. lol :) Walking really is such a wonderful low impact way to lose weight, and it's HIGHLY under rated. :D Keep up the good work, sugar!

Since I sit at a desk all day, I like walking at lunch when the weather permits gets me away from work and it's also the only me time I have lately, night workouts are hard to do since my daughter apparently won't sleep till it's way too late!!! I find that I have to push myself once at the start of the week to go on that walk but once I have done it I feel motivated and want to do it!!!
Work went ok on Friday I am still here lol! Pay day it on the 30th so I guess that would be the day he let's me know! I am not that worried since a coworker is working her last day today and has not been replaced yiet so until that is done I think my job is sort of safe!

Good Morning!

I am feeling much better today then I have in the past week! I am not 100% but getting there....so I can start working out slowly now that I can breath. We had some friends over on Sunday and one of them had a 2 mo baby, so so cute!!! What is it with new borns that when you see one you start thinking you want another one???? I just held the little guy for a couple of hours my kids wouldn't stop kissing him lol! I guess now that my little man in walking and climbing I am now missing the newborn stage I love that stage when you can just rock them for hours and they are just happy to be near you!!! I guess I am still lucky my little still love to be cuddled not for hours but he just walks up to people and ask to be held and just give giantic hugs lol! Yesterday I was thinking mabe we should of had waited till we took the decition to not have any more kids....then this morning I am rushing to get both kids ready and I am thinking imagine if you had 3 and I decided we had taken the right decision lol! I almost weighted myself this morning to see if I was still at 173 but then decided against it weight in are only on fridays and I don't know that I will go any lower cause last week I didn't eat much no wonder I lost so much this week my hunger is already comming back so I will keep to healthy stuff hopefully I am still at 173 come friday!

Breakfast
12 grain bagel toasted with butter 6pts
coffee 2pts

Lunch
going out to montanas for lunch to celebrate co workers new job so I am gonna go look up their menu online in order to choose something not to high in calories!


Diner
probably left over of what ever I had for lunch or salad with chicken!
 
Geez you have been sick too! That stinks! I wish I lost my appetite like you - I was the total opposite while sick! Back to exercise this week for both of us! I thought of you this morning and packed my runners to get out at lunch. It's supposed to be nice all week so hopefully I will get out a few times. Looks like you still have your job so that is good too!! Do you get Thursday off and back to work Friday or do you have a long weekend off? It kinda sucks how Canada Day falls on a Thursday and not Friday or Monday but I have enough vacation days that I just booked off Friday too. It feels good to be back - I'm glad I didn't miss too much going on with you as it turns out you were off work too! Funny how that happens! Glad you are feeling better too!

Hey Lisa!

I was kind of glad about loosing my apetit cause too much home alone time not good lol! I want to start slowly cause I had a really hard time breathing last week so don't want to over do it but I do need to start back if I want the scale to stay put or go down! Glad to see I am influencing other to walk at lunch,,,like starting a new trend! I have thursday off but I will be to work on friday, I was supposed to have the day off but now that my back up is leaving I sorta have to be here wich sucks cause it's gonna be dead but unless they fire me on the 30 I will be stuck at work on July 2nd but at least next year will be on a friday. At least I have a 2weeks holiday comming up from Jul 12 to the 23 so I am looking forward to that!
 
LOL! When I hold a new born now, I don't think about having another one! My 8 month old is so busy, and he has me going going going! Glad you are feeling better.
 
I guess I am still lucky my little still love to be cuddled not for hours but he just walks up to people and ask to be held and just give giantic hugs lol!


OMG, that is soooooooooo darn cute. My smaller niece is the same way. She loves cuddling and we are hugging each other all the time. I miss them, and I am sooo glad they will be here soon. Yay!

So good to have you back, Veronique. I hope you have a biiig loss this week.

Have a great day. More later.

LOL!!! You would think that with my daughters tantrums and my son now climbing everyhwhere, my mind would never ever go there....Newborn is my favorite stage and both of mine where good sleepers almost from birth they slept their night (my daughter was 5 days,,,,that is the reason I am pissed that she doesn't anymore!) So a new baby to me just means quiet cuddle time, no tantrums, just rocking the baby lol!! Ok time to snap out of it lol! My arms are so sore today just from holding that little one!
 
Ok so lunch was great but I ended up having something not so healthy....a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich I couldn't resist it the serving is 13pts so that with my 8pts I had already used this morning brings me up tp 21pts before diner yikes I am gonna have a tuna salad with 2tbsp of dressing that is 2 pts and no snack nothing else I am not actually hungry so it should not be to bad and I will firgure out some exercise to do since I didn't walk at lunch time!

See you all tommorow!
 
You should try to find ways to "cheat" on stuff like buff.chicken :) Get some spicy sauces, marinate the chicken for a while and then bake. Would probably cut your points a little, AND would be just as delish! I'm not a cook at allllllllllll, but every now and then I find a way to cut calories outta my faves. Every little bit helps.

You are right! I was out celebrating a co worker finding a better job, I had looked at the menu before going deciding to take the chicken greek salade we get there and they don't have any feta cheese so what is the point of greek salad without feta? I make it at home and don't use fried chicken so just that helps big time and I grill it on the bbq and I have it with a salad not fries lol ...I know how to cut down on pts doing it just a little harder I getting there!

Good Morning!

Ok so last night I ended up eating chicken about 1oz so 1 pts with about 1/2 a potatoe around 1pts. So that should have been it or like a plain salad or something....but then my Daughter has a tantrum, and I end up spanking her on the bum, then I feel like crap for doing it so I go looking for junk I ended up eating a handful of unsalted pecanes nuts and a pop so that is 8pts of my 30 weekly pts gone. I am proud that I didn't have doritos or chips wich where beside the nuts so that is improvement but really I would have been hapier with myself had I put on my headphones and just danced or something!I am a work in progress I will get better at this I have to. I am trying to go see Eclips tommorow but that looks like it will be hard, I have to find a babysitter and so far just my mom has offered but I have to drive the kids over to her and then I have to sleep at her place I hate sleeping aways from my bed, I have a pillow top and it feels like sleeping on a cloud but my mom still has my old bed and it's not comfy I wanted to see the movie in Ottawa and then drive home sleep and wake up at aroun7 and drive to my moms but no I have to watch the movie in a smaller town and I won't get to see it in Imax all of this cause my hubby wants to go fishing with his brother and won't come back early enough to watch the kids all he would have to do is play is stupid Video games while the kids sleep. Why did he even want kids?
I seem to be back into my depressed mood, I am hoping this will pass soon. I have holidays comming up beeing away from this place will help. I have such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning I hate being here, I sit here with nothing to do and the idiot (my boss) his presently doing interview to replace the woman who left yesterday. I could do the mail room no problem but no the idiot wants to hire someone new, I am fed up with this crap. My lack of motivation in the work place is draggin me down, I don't want to be here and it's starting to show in all aspect of my life....I have to get out before I need medication. I hate feeling this way, mabe it's work combine with this crappy weather we have been having. I don't even want people to give me work anymore they only give me the boring crap they don't want to do......I want real work that is mine not other people's left overs, They can fold and staple there own freakin things. They can cut their own business cards I want nothing to do with it! I don't even want the mail room or any other jobs here I need a fresh start elswhere, my time here is done I just need to find a new frame of mind before I can change job who will want to hire someone who is always on the verge of crying, I swear sometimes I am just sitting here and tears just start falling, I need a change and fast!

Ok so I went for a walk at lunch time I had to kick myself in the behind but I did it....30 min walk I didn't push myself like Usualy do cause I am still congested a little so I getting back to the grind slowly....the walk did help my mood but only until I got back at work!

Good Morning!

Ok so Today I am in a much better mood! I went home yesterday and just played with the kids and my little guy seemed to know that I was down so we kept hugging and kissing me and then he would make these silly little faces to make me laugh, and my daughter kept trying to ticckle me so they got me to laugh and that was good. Then hubby and I finnally mowed the lawn and and clean up the yard just in time for garbage day today. Tonight I am going to see Eclips not in Imax like I wanted but at least I get to go out, with no kids or no husband (not that I would mind him comming along but he is gone fishing with his brother again) I am going with a friend but I think her boy friend is comming along with us. They only see each other on weekends and holidays so when he asked if he could join how can I say no I know they miss each other, ah new love lol!!!! Last night I had chicken salad for diner and snacked on some pineapple (YUM) so I stayed in my point value. I did some yard work so I am counting that as exercise and I will be walking at lunch and tommorow I will be doing some threadmill at my parents and also swimming my parents have a pool so yay (if the weather cooperates) I am really hoping to still be at least at 173lb on friday morning so nothing salty for me after the pop corn gotta have some of the theatre one!
