Feeling better….

My oldest and I must have gotten a tummy bug this week. It can really wreck havoc on your routine.  It seems the minute I get going something happens.

 Oh well, getting back on the wagon today.  My tummy is still not feeling right, but trying the best I can to eat ok and get my water in. :)

I’ve still managed my walk away the pounds dvd and treadmill, so that feels good. 

Hope everyone is having a great week!!! :)

Willpower…

I’m very proud of myself today.  I’ve been in a bit of a funk, even gaining a pound this week for weigh in… :(    So I was at Wal-Mart this afternoon, and went down the diet/supplement aisle…..actually picked up a box of Slim Quick…….almost put it in the cart……then somewhere in my head I heard  “YOU MORON!!!! PUT THAT BACK THIS MINUTE!!!!!!” So I did….

 I have to realize I have to be the one to make this happen….not a pill in a box.  I do Slim-Fast shakes sometimes when I’m busy for breakfast, but those help me get in some good vitamins and nutrients in a hurry.   The pills will probably make me feel sick.  I know with proper eating and moving my darn butt, I’ll make this happen.  I’ve done it before, but I’m just feeling down about it lately.

 Tomorrow I’ll really get in some moving….We are having the 4th annual Erin’s W.I.N.G.S 5k walk/run in the a.m. in honor of my late niece.  I’ll be walking again….maybe next year, for her, I’ll try to run (or jog, ;) lol!! ) 

The pedometer has been a faithful companion on my hip lately, and it does really help keep me in check with how much I’m moving. 

Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks for listening!!

Starting and stopping.

I’ve been down this road soooooo many times. I don’t even tell people anymore what I’m trying to do…(eyes rolling in their heads) :)  But I realized, no matter what, I always keep going, keep trying, to be healthy, happy and lighter.

 My pedometer has become my new best friend. I hadn’t worn it for awhile, then the battery died. So, got a new battery and a new friend ;)  Yesterday was the first day, and I logged over 10,000 steps, 2.5 miles of which was a power walk at a local mall (was cold out, warm inside) lol!  So now, I can be accountable for my moving and grooving….I am not going to be sedentary!!!! I have 3 kids to keep up with :)

Have a great day buddies!!

Spring?!

I’ve been so sick and tired of being cooped up!!! And for a little while, I actually was able to go out and walk and enjoy Spring….Now today, SNOW??!! AARRGGHHH!!!  Just had to vent. :) lol!!!
