Well, buddies just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant.  WOW!  I can’t believe it!  I am happy just WOW!

Sometimes I find that I need to push myself or I will slide right back to where I was and I don’t want to be there.  Didn’t get my exercise in on either Saturday or Sunday, I could try and tell you all kinds of excuses but that is what it would be is excuses.  I’ve had a good day so far today and that’s what I am concentrating on.  I will get my exercise in today.  I didn’t lose any weight this week, I just need to push myself this week to have a good week.

Kinda glad this week is almost over, time to start a new one.  Daughter came home from college, so didn’t get my workout in on Wednesday night but I did do it last night and felt great with it.  I was still able to burn 1,000 calories and was on for an hour.  So, that’s great!  Looking forward to working out tonight.  I just feel so good after I work out no matter how hard it is, I just feel great that I was able to do it once it’s over with.  I have been getting my water in and eating has been OP also.  I just wish the scale would move faster - it’s crazy how hard you have to work for sometimes no movement on the scale!  But not giving up or getting discouraged about that,  I know that happens. 

Didn’t have a great day yesterday because life throw some situations to deal with.  My husband got sick to the point he needed to have a CT scan and found out he had a kidney stone so I spend the day dealing with that, didn’t get my exercise in and didn’t do great at eating.  Well, today is another day and plan on recovering from yesterday and eating good and exercising tonight.  My water in take is still good.  I am thankful that when some days don’t go as you planned there is always tomorrow and it’s up to me to make today a better one!

Good Morning everyone!  After seeing the scale go up for no reason at all yesterday morning it just made me even more determined to have a good day yesterday and I did it, I am proud to say besides my slim fast shakes and tons of water and my orange, I had a grilled chicken salad for dinner that I made myself so it was a good day for eating and my exercise last night was out of this world.  I can’t believe I am able to burn so many more calories on my elliptical than I ever could jogging on the treadmil.  I did the ellipitical for 1 hour last night and burned 1,000 calories….I can’t believe it.  I was tired but honestly for that kind of a workout I should have passed out afterwards but instead I did the dishes, laundry and even did the kitty litter which is something I HATE LOL.  Well, I owe my determination to all of you guys for helping me by reading your blogs and seeing how hard you all are working too.  So…THANKS!  Oh, the scale was back down those two pounds this morning!

One more thing has made me mad …. I go to respond to my buddies post and after I say something and click the button to submit - it’s gone not there!  Makes me mad…I do care about posting and now I can’t tell my buddies that!  grrrr

Well, it’s a new week I guess.  This weekend was all around a great weekend for me as far as eating goes and exercises, I stayed OP and was thrilled with myself but there was a few things that happend that really got me down for a little.  One of those things was when my Mom calls me asking if I wanted these few shirts from her that she says were too big for her.  I said no I didn’t one reason being that I’ve lost weight and plan on losing more (not that those things would have fit me, they wouldn’t have - would have been too big for me too but anyway) and instead of her saying oh that’s great and let it go at that she goes on to say well that’s good because I was going to tell you that you need to lose weight.  OK buddies, do any of you NEED to be TOLD that you need to lose weight?  I don’t think so…..I know what I need to do and don’t need another over weight person TELLING I need to lose weight.  So that really upset me.  BUT I bit my tongue and didn’t lash out at her.  She would also be the first to tell me that I’m getting too skinny when I do lose weight but that’s another story for another time I guess. 

The only other thing that got me down was this morning when I got on the scale after being down 4 pounds for this week when I weighed on Saturday morning was to be up 2 pounds …… I’ve been working my butt off and being soooo good eating and drinking water that really just brought me down.  Now, I know I shouldn’t it get to me because it still means that I was down 2 pounds for the week but the thing is I worked extra hard this week to get a boost by drinking slim fast and only having one meal a day with the slim fast plan so it kinda made me mad. 

But regardless, I am not giving up and I will not let that scale have an impact on me and bring me down after all my hard work this week.  I have come to enjoy my exercise program even though I am probably pushing myself too hard (is that possible to push yourself too hard?) well, I have been burning 900 calories I MEAN 900 CALORIES don’t you think I could have been down 4 pounds this week with that?  Ok enough of that…….another week has begun and I will lose weight and only expect 2 pounds lose this week.

down two more pounds

DIDN’T THINK FRIDAY WOULD EVER GET HERE (LOL).  WELL, BUDDIES I LOST ANOTHER POUND…WISH IT WOULD WORK A LITTLE FASTER BUT HEY I WILL TAKE IT.  I HAVE LOST 2 POUNDS THIS WEEK AND I CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT.  I TOTALLY SHOCKED MYSELF LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT ON THE ELLIPTICAL MACHINE AND I TOOK THE RESISTANCE LEVEL UP SOME FROM WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING AND I WAS JUST SO MOTIVATED YESTERDAY AND WELL I AM PROUD TO SAY I BURNED AN AMAZING 900 CALORIES LAST NIGHT IN A LITTLE LESS THAN AN HOUR.  I WAS HOPPING!  I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT.  I AM PAYING FOR IT TODAY BUT IT’S A GOOD PAIN IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.  THIS WEEKEND WE ARE GOING TO PICK MY DAUGHTER UP FROM COLLEGE WITH ALL HER “STUFF” AND TREATING HER TO LUNCH PROBABLY AT OLIVE GARDEN SO I NEED TO BE GOOD BUT I AM ENDING THIS WEEK GREAT SO IF I TREAT MYSELF A LITTLE I DON’T THINK IT WILL HURT ME TOO BAD….I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO MY EXERCISE TONIGHT AGAIN - SOUNDS FUNNY HUH (LOL) …….HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND BUDDIES!

I am having such a good day today.  Staying OP and feeling good about it.  I got my exercise in last night and I am just so on top of the world…wish every day could be this good.  I am thinking about all of you guys and hope you keep it up.
