May, I have another please!

haha! I'm so punny. Bring on May. I love May for many reasons, but sunny weekends is one of them.

I didn't weigh in this weekend either and need to get on that for my -25lbs challenge. Tomorrow morning will be the day.

This weekend we spent on a mini road trip up to San Antonio, Medina Lake and Austin. I got to do some much needed summer work clothes, as ... gawds damn its getting hot and humid here. Little sweaters and full pants are NOT going to work for me anymore as my body temp is still set on "Canada".

We have been great about walking and did talk about getting a new gym membership. The gym we are with right now is a 25-45min drive... and there is another gym that is 5min away. Clearly we should go to that one, but initially the hubby had signed up with the other as he and a buddy went there.... but that has dropped off to nothing and I can not seriously remember when we were last at that place...

So... next pay period we are going to be getting a new membership. Financially, I would rather save that money...BUT the advantages to us physically will be worth more then the cost. And we have promised to each other that we will darken the door at this new gym three times a week.

Right, off to bed.

One foot in front of the other

Blarg... I'm having a tough couple weeks. Pulled up my socks, well packed them up and took them to the office - had a weights workout on Monday and then managed to get in a walk after work today.

Slowing slipping into better habits again.

The M&M bug struck again today - luckily no cash helped me with that battle. I now have a full can of diet coke in my desk drawer. Whenever I have a craving for it I just pull the drawer open - look at it and that pretty much does it for me! ha! Funny how the brain works.

Slowly plodding ever onwards! Water is getting better as well.

Wednesday...here I come!

WI today - 293.4lbs

Asparagus

If you think that what you eat does not affect your body. Eat some asparagus, drink some water and have a pee....

My gawds, thats a "special" smell.

WI: 291.4... had morning movement at the office.... so I'm not really that concerned! ha!

Right - that out of the way - today was great - good food at the office, I briefly considered getting a diet coke or a coffee this afternoon, but distracted myself and totally forgot about both.

I`ve been eating better and today I noticed this... that I am less hungry and eat far less than I thought that I needed. Its a good feeling - to eat a pot of yogurt at 3.30 in the afternoon and not have thought about eating since lunch at 12.30. Progress!

Went right to the gym after work and did 5min on the elliptical - then 3 sets of my military press (20lb bells), bicep curls (20lb bells) and leg press (225lbs). Hit the park for a 25 power walk with the ipod. Laughably, it took 25 for me to get through all the traffic and get home. No wonder people don't get out as much as they should.

Ah well - I had my favorite 80's mix in and listened to Major Tom on repeat. I love that song. :)

All done for the day - time for some cuddles in bed and reading.

Note to Self

Hey Self!

Its been 13 weeks of blogging and you have finally made it back into the 280's and out of the 290's (which feels great)... but remember this...

It wasn't luck or some magic ninja dust or the Moon and Jupiter aligning up on the same evening.

It was:

1. Eating right (salads and good foods at the office)
2. Getting in 5 days of exercise
3. Drinking lots of water
4. Getting good sleep
5. Being prepared
6. Small steps, each and every day

....this is just a friendly reminder as you go into this week as a "winner" the job is not done yet - Keep up the good work.

Love me!
