Booey's New Lifestyle Changes, Journal

[booey2]

Good morning Karen, nice to see you here again. How's it going? I now it has only really been 1 day since your recommittment, but wanted to ask.

Terri
back at ya.

[booey2]

Wow, where did my day go. I am just now able to get here to post. Last night I didn't get on the gazelle, took the night off, hey 4 on 1 off and back on tommorow night. Gotta let them muscles rest. WI is tommorow night, I had better see some results after working my butt off this week. I am also drinking at least 3 litres (24 -8oz cups) a day, even this weekend I was able do it and be consistent, usually I am not and don't drink that much but I was very conscious about program all weekend. Today is a great day, program lunch and supper, had some snacks last night but had the extra points to have them (thank goodness because it was all junk). Okay work is heating up again, will try and get back here later thru the day.

Remember to drink you water and be good to yourself today.

Sorry i haven't been around much Terri! But wanted to send you an inspirational HUG! Keep it up and good luck ! ! I'll be back more once this baby is born! LOL

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, I darn well better see some progress but if not I will be okay because I know this is a change of lifestyle and not an immediate fix.

Thank you Carrie, no worries, just keep on eating healthy for you and your little one. Can't wait to meet em.

Today is WI and it is at 7:30pm, come on 7:30. Anyway on to today, had a hard boiled egg for breakie with my coffee - nothing else in the house that was quick enough - woke up late. Lunch is salad with tuna, homemade oatmeal muffins, fruit and yogurt. Supper will be ribs (my treat) after WI. I journalled everything on my weekly tracker and boy what a good tool to keep you on the straight and narrow. I managed to finish the week with some weekly points left over and earned almost 35 activity points. Gonna do it again this coming week. Exercise is the key for me to lose weight and I know it but I get real lazy sometimes. Off to do some work here. Will try and get back later, should not be as busy today, the boss is at the other location for the day - freedom for me.

Terri

PS be good to yourself and drink your water - your body needs it.

[coasterqueen]

You are doing great Terri. Can't wait to hear how WI goes.

[booey2]

Good morning, WI was good last night, I am now down 2.4 more, getting closer to the first 20 and my 10% (31 or 32 lost). DH didn't even ask how I did so I am not volunteering that info. Other than that things are great, have an awesome lunch packed and dinner will be fish tonight. Will get on the gazelle during Survivor, gotta get it up to 40 minutes a session, I also got 5 of 7 days on the gazelle last week, gotta do it again. I will also add my toning exercises before and after the gazelle because they are worth a point or two each time.

Okay, am at work now, drinking my water and can't wait for October as WW is supposed to have all kinds of good stuff coming for us and a coupon sale so that I can buy more at a cheaper price yipee.

Have a great day, will check in throughout the day.

Terri

[coasterqueen]

OMG Terri, that is awesome!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! I DREAM of the day I see WI's like that. Soon, I hope, at least a pound, I hope.

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, hang in there it will happen when you least expect it.

Terri

[booey2]

Okay just finished my exercise (well 20 minutes ago) am now eating my dinner alaskan pollack and brown rice. Not sure I want anything else, may have to have an apple so I have some fruit in. Had all my water and then some, I think I drank a little over 4 litres today. I didn't get up to 40 minutes tonight because Thomas was getting ready to pull a full tantrum and wanted me to tuck him in. So I did my 30 minutes and really pushed myself. Gonna run now and finish my dinner, cool down and maybe get some extra "activity" in . Goodnight

Terri

[booey2]

Good moring, sorry GREAT morning it is FRIDAY!!!!

Had a great workout last night and ended up signing up for the 2 week e-tool trial I got at my WW meeting on Wednesday. I must say I am impressed with them and am seriously considering continuing it after the 2 weeks. The Plan Manager I am not so thrilled at maybe once all the bugs are worked out it may be better. The graphs and charts and visual aspect of it is neat.

Today will be a great day. Lunch is packed, had shredded wheat for breakie, not too sure what is up for supper, DH is going to the Toronto/Montreal game tonight so it is me and the boys. I think I am going to order pizza for them, they only like cheese pizza so it should be fairly economical and I can pass on cheese pizza. I was OP yesterday, had some snacks, journalled and accounted for them. I really need to get me some popcorn, ran out of smartpop and thought I had some back up kernels in the cupboard so I could air pop em, no such luck. Grocery store here I come tommorow morning. Hubby will also be going to Costco this weekend to get me what I need from there, I find the smartpop is cheaper bought from there then my grocery store.

Didn't get in the extra "activity" I had planned DH fell asleep before I got to bed and to be honest I really wasn't up to it. Maybe tonight. Gotta run and get some work done here. Will check in throughout the day.

Gotta grab my water now.

Terri

[coasterqueen]

Morning Terri! Great job yesterday.

BTW, I used the e-tools with WW when I was losing the weight after Kylie and I loved them. I only did it for 3 months, couldn't afford it after that.

Stay on track this weekend...I know I'll have to chant that to myself for sure.

[booey2]

Good afternoon. I got an early start and earned a couple activity points this morning, was being nice to DH, then went grocery shopping and am now getting ready to eat, skipped breakfast except for my coffee. I know bad me, gonna make a nice big salad and some popcorn to tide me over.

Karen I am liking the e-tools but not sure I will keep the subscription, you have to be around or on a computer everyday to use them. Right now it is okay because I am on it everyday at work but I really don't want to be tied to the computer on the weekend too.

I am not sure what we are doing this weekend, I think my mom is coming down tommorow and we might go out tonight bowling ( I am going to suggest it to DH). Okay gonna run, haven't even started my water yet, going to get that started now too. Will check in later today, oh ya, I did the gazelle again last night for 30 minutes, I really need to get it to 40 minutes, guess I should use my mp3 player and 40 minutes will fly better than watching tv like I am doing now. See ya.

Terri

[coasterqueen]

Great job Terri, you are doing well this weekend already! Unlike me

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, the kids and dh are driving me nuts right now. I am so angry I could spit nails. They just finished dinner and I can hardly make myself eat. I am just in one of those nasty/sad/angry altogether kinda But I refuse to let it drive me to eat. We went bowling this afternoon and we were there for 2 hours and that earns me 8 activity points, yipee. Now I don't have to do my gazelle if I don't want to but I will anyway. Will try and do it for 30 minutes later. I am working on my water, still haven't gotten thru my first 2 litres yet. No doubt I will get it in me soon. Gonna make some popcorn later and season it with my oil that I have to eat and some seasoning. I also have to whip together some of those squares and muffins I posted about the other day. Gotta run and try and finish my supper now that the jerks are gone from the table. Sorry I am just in a pissy mood and needed somewhere to dump it.

Terri

PS I just thought that maybe I should have a chocolate martini later, nope changed my mind, too many points. The popcorn will have to do.

[coasterqueen]

I'm sorry they are being BAD. Hope you are feeling happy again now. Great job on the activity today.

I think you deserved the chocolate martini. I, myself, am having a Wild Berry wine cooler right now. I always have a couple on the weekend. I'm hoping in the next hour or so the girls go down for the night peacefully and I'll get my activity in too....hopefully.

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, I didn't make the martini or have really any treats. I did get the popcorn in so I got my oil in for the day. I am sitting in the dark here, drinking my water, the younger boys are in bed and the big boy is downstairs watching his TV. I am just getting ready to turn in soon. Have a good night and enjoy a drink or two for me. Make sure to get that activity in,

Terri

PS I am in a much better mood and place right now, it is amazing what a couple of hours can make.

[booey2]

Good morning, looks like this morning is starting off right where the boys left off last night. They all got up earlier then me and I was woken up with them yelling at one another and DH yelling at them. Oh when do I get a break, where have my quiet weekends gone? Oh well, I have had my coffee and am just getting ready to have some cereal or breakfast, the boys want pancakes so I guess I am making them pancakes, on second thought I am going to have an omellette and tweak my cheese (meaning 1pt cheese slice going to count it as CORE for today). I have a nice portobello mushroom I may add some of it to the omellette. Okay gonna run, got all my water in and will start on todays as soon I get to the kitchen.

Good luck to all fellow losers who may read this and those who are not activity trying to lose, have a great day too.

Terri

[booey2]

Okay, the weekend is over and I made it through with WPA to spare. I had an okay weekend after the crap I posted about yesterday. I think I was opperating on automatic all weekend, meaing I was just going through the motions but not really there. DH was just a dick all weekend. Sorry I am venting again and I started today in a good mood.

Okay, back to the here and now. I baked up some goodies yesterday and am ready to face another week at work. Lunch is packed and CORE and supper after swimming will be chicken breast and something, not sure yet. Gotta run, tons to do here, will be back once I get the morning off. Have my water here and am feeling better then yesterday.

Terri

[coasterqueen]

Well I vented in my thread so it's nice to see I'm not the only one who needed a vent. Also I didn't mention in my thread....my husband is being just like yours. Jerks!

Anyways, glad you got some goodies baked and on track for today!

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, must be something in the air, when it comes to DH's these days. Will say a little extra prayer that they all settle down and be nice again. Gotta run, take care of you, hug yourself and drink up that water.

Terri

[booey2]

Wow, the board is hopping this morning. I am just getting to my journal now and it is almost 10am here. Last night was okay, didn't work out, Thomas had his first swim lesson at 6:30pm so dinner wast at 8:30pm not a good time to eat dinner. Oh well, next week I will try and chang it up. No work out last night either took a night off, have already earned 33 activity points and we are only supposed to earn 28 a week. I am going to workout tonight on the gazelle, I need to do it. I am feeling the results of all my hard work already in my clothes, just gotta keep it up and I will be happier at Christmas when the family sees me for the first time in a long time, I wanna be 30 pounds down or more and I am already half way there.

Had a great breakfast and lunch is all packed, working on my water right now. Tonight will be a quiet night at home, Dh is taking Matthew out after supper to buy the hockey stuff he needs, we have most of it there are only a few little things he has to buy, Matthew's first skate is this Saturday and he is so excited. Dh is real excited too because this the first year that Matthew has actually shown an interest in hockey and DH loves hockey. Okay enough about them gotta run and do some work here. Will check in hopefully later today and tonight.

Chug - a - lug.

Terri

PS I think we may get some extra AP's later tonight too. If he doesn't tick me off too much before bed time.

[coasterqueen]

Sounds like things are going well. I wanna see pics of Matthew's first skate.

You are going to look FAB-U-LOUSLY skinnier at Christmas time. I just know it.

BTW, hope Dh doesn't peeve you off tonight. You need those activity points.

[booey2]

Thanks Karen, I will try and get pics, he has been skating before but not fully dressed in hockey equipment. So it should be interesting. I know I will be skinnier and healthier (I have to be), I want those AP's tonight too.

Terri

[booey2]

Okay, where do I start?

1. Had a great nite, Matthew tried on all his hockey equipment and we only had to buy a neck gaurd, couple of sticks and hockey tape. His first skate is sometime on Saturday. I did get some pics, so I don't have get them of him in his dressing room but haven't had a chance to download them yet. Will do it later tonight if I can. Thomas also had to try on equipment and was pumped to play, we will see when we take him skating how pumped he really is.

2. Didn't get my gazelle workout in but did have some extra activity , no ap's earned but it was great.

3. My mom e-mails me this morning, offering to take me to Las Vegas at the end of November, she is going to pay air and hotel, all I gotta pay for is food and gambling. BUT that is our busiest time of year here and I knew they weren't going to let me go so I told her, thanks a lot but maybe after Christmas, early in the new year I woudl love to go. We went to the casino in Niagara Falls last year when they were up and we both had a great time, we both love the slot machines. I actually won money and came out ahead that night. Maybe in the winter. She likes to shocke me.

Well that is all the news this morning. WI is tonight and I am pumped. My clothes are starting to feel looser, I think it is because of the workouts. Now I am hoping the scale will be in my favour too. Okay gotta run, got work to do, will pop back in lots today, the boss is at our other location so I have time today.

Sitting here drinking my water/ice green tea. Have a great day.
