Veronique's Diary

Hey Veronique!

Great job on getting that DVD player. I can't wait to hear how your workout went! I think I've said it before, but P90X is awesome, and Hip Hop Abs sounds pretty fun, too (though I am so uncoordinated I'd be too scared to try anything that sounds like it involves dancing, lol).

Hope you have a good weekend!

Hey Thank you for stoping by my journal! I am very itimidated by p90x but I am starting it tonight! We will see how it goes! I love dancing...that said I don't think I am any good at it but it's in my living room so who cares lol!
 
Good Morning!

Ok so I didn't start any exercise program this weekend, but I was very active. This Saturday I clean my room big time. Took out summer clothes and put away winter only stuff. I also got rid of clothes that are no longer flatering cause they are too big I had a 5 or 6 nice work shirt and I put them aside for my mom cause they don't fit me. There was lots of moving fruniture to clean the floors underneath and carrying boxes goin up and down ladder so I am counting this as a workout! Then on Sunday my mom called and said if I wanted to be able to use the pool then I had to come and help clean it lol! Wich basically ment bring over the grand kids we miss them oh and we have work for you to do! Plus I vaccumed my car while I was there my mom has the H20 Vac wow my car was not clean lol! So tonight hubby is at work and I will start with the P90X I would love to lose about 3lb and tone a little next weekend my sister in laws (both of them) and a friend of the familly are taking my mother in law out for her 60th birthday and she said she never went to see male strippers and kind of wished she did so that is where we are taking her LOL I know weird but I want to feel great and not self concious when we are out! I kept the food really healthy even when my hubby got himself a poutine on friday I didn't even have a taste which was hard with the pms and all I only had a 2pb cookies at my moms yesterday but after cleaning the pool and running after my kids to give my dad a break I think that was ok...I feel very focus on getting moving again and heating healthy i have my car today so I may go buy a bunch of healthy lunch stuff so that my back pack is a bit lighter it is kind of falling apart and I am waiting for the back to school sales to buy a new one.

Breakfast
12 grain bagel toasted with 1tsp of butter 6pts
coffee 2pts

lunch
I am going shopping for this lol!
salad don't know what kind but something low points

Diner
Since I will be eating alone I might buy a bunch of Smart Ones and eat that but I am really craving Faiitas if I make them home made and I don't use sour cream(don't actually like it anyways) it could still be low point
So i am not really organized food wise but after today I will be!

Plan for this week
Eat much better then last
Exercise a lot more then the last couple months (it's raining a lot lately so can't walk at lunch everyday so p90X it is)
Drink 100 oz of water min everyday (my water cooler at home is broken it's leaking and the 18 gallon water emptied on my floor in less then 5 min at least the kids and the dog had fun) I think I am gonna buy a best water filter and canister and have water in my fridge. I like my water cool and I don't want to buy those little bottles cause it's expensive and not great for the environment, water cooler break all the freakin time this is my 2nd one in 5 years. Water filter it is gonna have to be!
 
It's great you got your DVD player, I am syked for you, and can't wait to hear about P90X. You said you did a lot of cleaning, I totally forgot that I walked up and down my stairs carrying things 11 times on sunday morning, have to add that to my diary. Didn't think of it as a workout till I read your's. All those stairs have to count! I bet your kids have fun with the grands, and I bet they are glad you came to help clean the pool! We have a pool where I live, so I am planning to use it often to help keep me active even when I want to be lazy this summer. Good luck you your weight loss. I wanna shoot for 2 lbs in the next 2. I'm taking it easy because I want to keep motivated, but my co-worker did tell me today that it looks like I've lost more weight! So I think I may be toning up. Have a great day!

These last couple of months I barely exercised so if I am moving I am counting it lol!!!! Just kidding but on saturday it did feel like a workout, plus I was doing laundry wich meant up and down stairs with loads of clothes!!!
I wished my parents lived closer I could go and swim even during the week but since I work 1 hour away from home then I would have to drive like another 40 min to get to my parents to far to use during the week...swimming was my thing I was very good! I miss it!
It's always good when people notice your weight loss! I haven't told many people what I am doing, I firgure that way when they notice it's real not like my mom who is always OH WOW HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST!!! Mom I saw you 2 wks ago 2lb is not gonna show lol!
 
Doesn't it feel great to put away the old baggy clothes?! Love it :D I can't believe you are going to do P90x! That's insane! I honestly don't think I could handle that let alone keep up with it! Good for you! Let me know how it goes and what you think of it :)

I have been thinking about doing it for a while, but also wonder how if I can keep up with it but I figure if I can't keep up I will just do the best I can and start it over once I am done to see how much I have improved! So far I am terrified but it's not like the dvd can see me and laught at me and I am startin on a week where the hubby is away LOL so he can't laugh at me haha!! I will update daily on here!

Good Morning All!!

Wow I just saw the date my nefew turns 20 today! Time just flies by I am gonna have to give him a call! Ok so Last night I put inthe DVd to do P90X and with in the first 30 min I got interupted 5 times so I just gave up and I will redo it tonight. Why do people comme knocking at your door past 8:00 trying to get you to join there religion is annoying, knock on my door during the daytime when I am not there please! Oh well that is life! Other then that last night I had chicken and salad no dressing cause I just forgot to add some so I ended the day at 20pts 3 points under but I wasn't hungry so I wasn't gonna force myself to eat you know! My daughter was asking to have a party during the whole car ride so I kept thinking did I fall asleep for 13 years or something lol! She wanted to dance lol!! Apparently music and dancing equal party! So we dance for 30 min then it was time for her to sleep. So that mixed with my attempt at P90X equall around 45 min exercise so it's better then most days!

today
Breakfast
12 grain bagel 1tbsp of butter 6pts
coffee 2pts

lunch
having lunch with former co worker don't know where we are going but I asked for somewhere healthy! I will update later.

Diner
BBQ chicken 3oz 3pts
salad mabe with salsa in it instead of dressing I am in the mood for something spicy lol!

Ok so the hubby is off tonight and some co workers of his are going to a strip club, and he wants to go......Is it wrong for me to be a little pissed?? I mean this week we only get to see each other tonight and thursday plus a strip club really.....it didn't used to bother me before so why is it bugging me now, he usually went with his brother and back then we had no kids and where not married. This time he is going with younger guys that are single , stoners and I don't know them......so I am not liking it. It doesn't feel like me to feel this way, not trusting....I don't like it. I shoudn't I trust him? He never gave me a reason not to trust him. Probably just myself confidence that isn't there. Whatever I will deal with it!
 
I wouldnt be happy with my SO going to a strip-club..Unless it was with me, obviously. Maybe explain to him that you wanted to spend time with him and the thought of him going to a strip club rather than hang out with you makes you upset. I think you're within your right to do so. Many women wouldnt even let their other halves go at all!!
 
I think Sunflower is right, you are good just to let him go but I would really explain to him how I feel. He probably thinks it's ok because it's been ok in the past. I have allowed my husband to go to a strip club before but it was for a bachelors party and he was the best man. He was so nervous that he called ,me like 20 times. He later told me he kept calling me because he was uncomfortable being there and calling me gave him an excuse to go outside. But I believe if you explain to your husband how you feel, he would reconsider going.
 
Good attempt with Px90 yesterday - I'm sure tonight you will have better luck! I hate when people knock on my door too and it sounds horrible but I usually ignore it - unless it's little kids! I love salsa in my salad too - gives it a little kick! I wouldn't be too thrilled with my hunnie going either - for starters I have been a few times so I know what goes on there, secondly they are so expensive and a complete waste of money and thirdly if there are single men going you know they are looking for trouble - my hunnie's single friends anyway. I think you have a right to be upset - especially because I know how long it took you to save for that dvd player so he shouldn't be spending any money there in my mind. I also understand the feeling of not trusting - I don't think it's that you don't trust him but you don't trust the situation and the only people that are going to be there and that's why your feeling that way - I totally get it. I'm so not looking forward to my hunnie's bachelor party - they are going to Montreal in July - I can only imagine what will come out of it!
 
Thanks Girls!

I am happy to know I am not the only one feeling this way. If it was with his brother I would mind cause he is familly, and he loves my kid and all. These are 25yrs boys single and I don't know it just rubs me the wrong way.....but my husband kind of still had the teenage mentality about some things, like if I tell him how I feel then he may just go to prove that I am not the boss. I will try talking to him and we will see how it goes, either he goes or he may stay home sulk like a big baby, and not talk to me for days. One of the other issue that I am sure he will bring up is that on Saturday I am supposed to go out with my mother in law and sisters in law to a male strip club it's not my decision I went twice with friends and really don't see what's it all about but my mother in law never went and she wants to experience it, it's her 60th bday. In my case it's different I am going with other married women and they are family members you know he won't see it that way I am sure! Kind of if I get to go so does he. Let you know how it goes! If I am getting the silent treatment of if he is lol, we need to grow up really silent treatment is so highschool lol!:smilielol5: Why don't I trust that he can go out and have a good time with out crossing any lines, mabe I should offer driving and join in but ewwww why would I want to see women strip! I was ok with him going before when did that change, it's not like my self image was great before the only thing that changed is the c section scare and a few strech markes nothng else. I feel like I am becoming one of those possessive jealous bitches I used to laugh at. Now you get a brief look at what it's like living in my head!!!

Are you going somewhere special for your bachelorette as well??? I love hearing about those cause I didn't get one or a shower, with the pregnancy we had to change the wedding date and only had 3mo to plan the whole thing so no time for all those extras but I love hearing about other people!!
 
you need to be careful and be healthy to do these workouts.

Rest-up, feel better THEN workout. Working out at 100%, is more affective than where you are at now.. Just make sure you eat clean while you take this break, and you'll be A-OK! =)

I think for me following this program will get me back into the right state of mind! As for the reste I have two kids at this point I am accepting that I will not get a full night of sleep for the next 8 years or so I just have to learn how to deal with lack of sleep! I eat clean most of the time, last week was bad, but when I do work out my will power is stronger cause I don't want to undo all of the hard work I have put in!

Wow.. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be married and trust each other completely all the time. Even if I had a perfect body I'd always be a bit afraid that he'd go of with hot blond chick. I think I just know so many boys who cheat on their girlfriends, it'll be super hard to get that out of my head. And I don't think I'll ever grow up for my teenage ways :p. Hell, wouldn't that be boring anyway?

I'm glad to read to you also have an easier time eating better when you've done your workout. I feel exactly the same, only it's hard for me to everyday have a work out, especially with summer vacation around the corner. When do you plan your work outs?

We are having the shower Friday night at a hall and there are 40 ladies going and some fun games planned - good food too. Then Saturday my sisters rented a suite in a hotel so we are going around 3pm to swim and have some pre-drinks and aps. Then get ready and we have a limo bus picking us up at 6:30 at the hotel and bringing us to this really nice restaurant for dinner in a private room - there will be 12 of us girls. Then after dinner there are a couple bars close by we plan to walk to and have a shot - then to the casino for a little roulette and then the bus is picking us from there around 10pm and driving around to a couple places to get some fun pictures taken. Then dropping us off at the bar that is attached to the hotel and we plan to dance till they kick us out and then crash in the suite!
That sucks you didn't get to have your own! you might just have to get married again to experience it all, just kidding, wink, wink! Really though you should have done something after the baby was born - get out of town for a couple nights - It's never to late to plan something now!! Just name it something different to the hubby!

Marriage takes work the trust thing and communication thing is hard! Basically I think my feelings are because I don't really know how he is gonna act with those people.....Men become different in personality depending on whom they are with, and I don't know who he is when he is with them...I know they are pot smokers i don't think that makes them bad people I just don't want hubby smoking that S____t, he used to be into that long before I even knew him. Also strippers are not known for caring about a man's marriage vows. i have to trust that my hubby knows what he is doing.


When I work out I am more focused on my health then when I am not so that is why it is easier! I plan to work out mostly during the evening...I always say I will wake up at 4 am but who am I kidding I have a hard time with 5 am.My kids are usually in bed by 7:30 so I am gonna work out between 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm that leaves me 30 min to shower and relax then I am off to bed.

that sounds like so much fun!!! I hope you have a great time!!!!
I was trying to organize something with my friends just hanging out just us girls......but turn out I don't really have anyone willing to do anything, one of my friends says we are too old for clubbing, one says she too tired one only wants to rent a couple of chick flick and stay in two of them dont talk to each other over a guy so it's too much energy to try and please everyone so i just didn't do it. After my baby girl was born I was so discusted with my body I didn't want to see anyone even my sisters, I was bigger when I left the hospital then when I went in my maternity clothes where too big so my self image took a beating. I look at the people on here and they talk about outings with there sisters and friends and I kind of wish the age gap between my sisters and I wasn't as big or that I had been more outgoing when I was in school and made more friends that would be willing to go out! Oh well what can I do...Mabe next workplace I get to have people my own age to befriend.

Good Morning happy hump day!

Ok so hubby's plan got canceled but of course we had our talk before so he knew I wasn't happy with him going mostly cause of the people he was going with! Well he suprised me cause he actually listen to me with out interupting or rolling his eyes or turning his attention over to the tv or news paper. Then when the plans got cancelled cause one of the guys got called into work my hubby invited the others over so I could get to know them a little, we chatted a bit then the guys started playing on the Wii, they are actually nice guys and not at all what I imagined, the only eekk happend when one took out a joint, I asked him to go for a walk or something cause first off my house is a non smoking of anykind house and that I am not happy having illegal stuff on my property I have kids you know. He said no prob they went out for a walk and did their thing they came back with a big plate of nacho from a local restaurant, I did pick at it a little but not that much. I didn't get to exercise even if the guys where coaxing me to, sure I am gonna workout like a mad women while my hubby and 3 of his friends a sitting on the couch watching! Also TOM started so today I am feeling like crap all I want is to be home in bed, and cuddle with my bottle of advil and a good book! I came to work anyways witch is pointless cause I will be sitting here staring out the window trying to coax myself not to eat anything if I am not hungry. I am craving a couple of cheesy greasy grilled cheese right now...I am not gonna have any but I want to! Today also I am going to call my DR's office and try to have a check up I haven't had one in ages (unless you count the pregnancy ones) I feel my Iron is low...tom is not helping but I have had problems with that in the past so I just want to get it checked. Also I haven't had a diabetes test in about 5 years and I think it's time (my grand ma had it ) I don't think I have it, still it would be good to know. My plans for next weekend where also canceled. My sister in law's mom, was hospitalised yesterday with (just realise I don't know the english term) her skin is yellow (what is that called). I am hoping it's nothing serious but her apetite has been gone for 3 weeks and she didn't think anything of it and in the last week she started to feel something hard in her stomach and still she waited now her skin is yellow and she was still refusing to go to the hospital cause when her husband went in about 20 years ago he never came out and same with her sister a few months ago. I am hoping she will be ok she is such an nice lady, almost a third grandma for them....she always has little things for them, toys clothes, she has no grand kids of her own so she treats mine like they are. Sorry about the depressing post this morning my mood is matching the weather I guess.

Breakfast
egg cheese bagel sandwich 9pts
coffee 2pts

Lunch
I don't know salad or vegi soup will see if I want cold or hot I will update later!
