My Monday...

How did I wake this morning...to doggie poo...in the bathroom in front of the toilet.  At least the dog knows what the bathroom is used for!!  But it was my husbands dog, so I got to wake him and make him pick it up!!!  I figure I change his sons bottom, he can pick up his dogs poo!!! Seems fair to me! 

The weekend was nice and long and unforgettable.  I crafted and went shopping and got my daughters BIG gift for Christmas.  So the only big ticket item I have left to buy is my husbands. 

I am doing good on the not binging aspect.  I made it through the holidays without gaining any weight.  I am back at work today doing squats at the copy machine and desk push ups whenever I get a chance.  I have been running around the office too and got a walk in.  So I am doing very well I think!  Trying to get movement in whenever I can.  Heck, I did calve raises in the shower this morning!!! 

I went to the store and got some yummy and good for us stuff.  I found some yummy grape seltzer stuff from Welch's that is 70 calories per serving.  I will give that to my family instead of soda.  I got some pita chips and laughing cow cheese.  We are cereal eater, so I got my fav Honey Nut Cheerios and the fruit ones for my daughter.  I got us some fruit to put in our lunches and some Greek yogurt.  I try to find the one with the most protein and I found one with 23 grams!!  My favorite breakfast is the Greek yogurt with some old fashion oats!  Awesome texture!!!  I am going to look into some gluten free bread next and other gluten free items. 

I have had some stressful moments in the last week, but I conquered! 

ohhh yaaa!

Remember these?  My best friend "the bleachers"?  Well I rocked them at lunch!!!  :) 

Legs are officially jello!! 

Oh what fun!!

Had a great weekend!!!  How about you?  Trisha and I had a challenge this weekend of one hour of intense exercise and 125 oz of water.  DONE!!! I am very proud of me!  :) 

I did a lot of intervals on the treadmill while baby slept or played on his mat next to me.  He is starting to move about on his own so I had to keep an eye on him!  I would split up my exercise by doing 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.  It seemed easier that way and I thought maybe I would burn more calories! :) 

So my weigh in the is morning:

last week: 186
this week: 185.5

only a half a pound but I will take it!  I am still feeling a bit bloated so I bet I see a pound or so gone this week.  I would like to set a personal goal of two pounds.  This week is going to be stressful.  My dad is going in for open heart surgery and I am a bit worried.  Ok, a lot worried!  I am going to bring lots of fruits and veggies to snack on and some fruit leather. My water bottle of course!  I am an emotional eater so we will see how this goes.  I am also going to try and chew more gum.  I find that I don't snack as much when I chew gum! 

I need to find some exercises to do while at my desk.  I sit where people in the lobby can see me, so I have to be kinda sneaky!  I do have one of those little pedal cycles under my desk, I need to use that too.  It isn't a workout so to say but I would be moving! :)  Got any ideas for me?

Time to confess...

I didn't lose any weight this last week.  But I also didn't gain.  It is TOM so I am hoping that is the culprit that caused me to fail at my goal. 

I have been exercising a lot and I miss it now when I skip a day.  It has become important to me and I like it!!  I have been making good choices in food and eating correct portions.  But I need to focus on my water, I don't think I am getting enough. 

I am going to start walking up Ash hill on my breaks again.  And then today a lady at the office wants to walk up Kermel with me!! Tomorrow is a bleachers day and then I am also going to fit in a walk at night too.  I want my family to be active so after dinner I want us to go for a walk. 

This week is my first week of getting a CSA veggie/fruit box!!!  I am super excited.  It will have a loaf of homemade bread too!  I will pick that up on Thursday. 

I went to a beautiful wedding this last weekend.  My baby boy did sooo good!  He didn't fuss a bit!  So that made it a lot less stressful for me!  My hubby was in the wedding so he was busy helping and doing his job.  We stayed a cute little motel Friday night so it was like a mini vacation! 

This week seems busy and its only Tuesday!  I think cause work isn't my favorite place to be for sooo many reasons, it makes life a bit harder for me.  But at least I have a job!!! 

Do any of you participate in a CSA or food co-op?  How do you like it?
