What is that old saying about no pain no gain.  I did my exercise class on Tuesday and my abs still hurt.  I also did a new yoga class on Tuesday.  I had a hard time doing a lot of the moves but I will get better with time.  I am going to do my just my size yoga tape tonight and sometime on the treadmill.

I started a new class at the gym on tuesday.  It is called the ultimate sculpt and it is very good.  I talked to my boss and I will be coming in early to the office on Tuesday so I can make the 4 p.m. class.

After being so busy at work and out of town for the last few weeks and weekend I am back home and working out hard.  It is so nice not to be eating out every day.  And it is hard to make good choices when you are dead on your feet and on the road. 

Soon as I got home I hit the gym and started eating better again I felt better.  I have missed ready my buddies blogs and being on-line.  Buddy slim really does help with weight watchers to keep me on track.  I hope all my buddies have had a good last 2 weeks.  I will be catching up with everyone later today.  This morning I have my apple, yogurt and milk and I am heading into work for a couple hours and then I am going to pick up my mom and head to the gym.  Take care everyone.

It is Friday and I am so ready for Friday. I have put in a lot of hours at work and I can’t wait to get out of town for this weekend. Also I am very happy this morning. I am down 196. Just one more pound and I will have lost 90 pounds. This leaves me with 71 pounds to go. I also made sure I have lots of point wise snacks I can take with me on my road trip. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I haven’t been online the last couple of weeks because I have been working a lot of hours.  I just got home from putting in a few hours at the office this morning.  I am so happy!  I am finally under 200.  This morning I was 198.  Yeah!  I went to the gym and I didn’t have to move the 200 weight on the scales.  That was a very good feeling.  Now I am looking foward to hit my 90 pound lost goals.

My job requires me to work a couple shifts at our booth at the state fair.  We always have one staff member and at least one member in the booth at all times.  I took health snacks with me like grapes, carrots, curve bars and water.  And just know that the healthy snacks were there helped.  I wasn’t even hungry or wanting to cheat.  I even passed up the gyros stand on the way out.  In the past I would have said I’ll forget about my diet for the week.  This year I am going to stay on it and make healthy choices.  There are some places that sell grilled chicken, turkey burgers and other healthy choices.  On Wed I will be at the fair all day and once again I will bring my grapes, curve bars and carrots.  For lunch I will have a turkey burger or grilled chicken breast.  I am going to order it without a bun and bring a one point bun with me.  I also have company coming in on Monday or Tuesday night of this week.  I even have ever think to cook plan out.  First night dinner will be ribs, green beans and new potatoes and a grilled chicken breast for me.  They do want to go out to eat one night but I am going to look up the menu online and make a healthy choice such as fish or grilled kitchen.  For breakfast I am going to make a recipe a friend gave me.  It is sausage and gravy made with lean turkey breast, low fat soup and light english muffins.  It is very point friendly.  I went ahead tonight and cooked the ground turkey breast so that is all ready to go.  I have a plan for this year’s fair.  And let’s face it nothing tastes as good as being thin again.

   

I weighed in tonight and I was up by 0.8. I wasn’t really happy about that. I ate below my points. I love exercising but I have find myself having problems getting it done this week. I know it is all about how I am feeling. I need to give myself a good kick in the butt. I talked to my friend in MN and she told me he is not worth it and I deserve so much better. Mom tells me he has changed his mind before. And I know I need to get myself out of this mood. I don’t like crying and it isn’t me. Staying in this mood is not helping and I need to focus on that 125 pound goal. And remember that new dress I want for the committee dinner in Dec. I just wish someone would tell my heart. My friends have been great. I want to laugh again and not feel like I am just going through the motions. I pulled up a picture from last year of me. In the picture I was 260 and not at my heavest of 285. I need to put it on my webpage to remind myself of where I don’t want to be again. I will not give up. I will get to the gym tomorrow night. If I don’t feel like running I will do 2 water classes. I will get to the gym Friday and Saturday. On Sunday I will take the dogs for a run. I will be true to myself.

Well I am working a little from home tonight. It has been a long day. I came out to my car after work tonight to find my car tire totally flat. And it isn’t fixable. So I waited for the road service guy to show up. While I was waiting for him I was dugging things out of my trunk so he could get to the spare. Any my trunk lid came down on my back. I am going to have a lovely mark by the morning. It is swelling.

Then when the service guy got there he broke the piece that holds the spare. So now I am buying a new tire and a new piece for the spare. I don’t even want to know what that little piece cost for a seibring conv. The tires are bad enough on this car. Because of their size and width they tend to be expensive. And they never seem to have them in stock. I called the tire store I normaly go to and they ordered one and it should be here by Thursday. So my car is staying in the garage tomorrow since I don’t know how good it is to drive on those little spares. I will get a ride to work tomorrow. I am driving it tomorrow night to the gym because I am not going miss the gym twice this week.

I noticed tonight I was up by two pounds and since I haven’t gone over points I would say it is stress. I know it will come back off. And tomorrow has to better and normally this wouldn’t get to me. I know I am still sad over Fred and me. And I know it will take a while to get over it. And back to my positive self. Sorry for being so down the last few days. My friend is coming stay at my house for the fair next week and maybe that will help get me out of this mood. That or a good kick boxing class. I wonder if I still have that dvd. It was to hard for me when I first started working out, but I think I can make through part of it now.

Yesterday I went through my closet. I tried on lots of clothes and got rid of a lot that were to big. In fact it ended up being 5 large sacks full. I am going to donate them. I don’t want them in the house because I never want to be that size again. I had a lot of smaller sizes packed away so I put those back in my closet. It is nice to be able to get back into a lot of my dress and other things.

I went shopping for a smaller swimsuit the last 2 days and I think 16 must be the average size in Iowa because I can’t find any. I got a 14 on but I still think a 16 would be better. All my 18 swimsuit are really baggy in the butt. I like to find 2 size 16 swimsuits. I think I am going to have to order them online. Does any one have any good websites to order swimsuits from? I have ordered from Newport News before but looking for some other possible places.

Also I have a peanut butter tip for anyone on weight watchers. There is a dry powder peanut butter called PB2 you can buy online. 2 tablespoons mixed with water is only 1 weight watcher point. I low point breakfast is PB2 on one point English muffin and some fruit. A friend at weight watchers had order some and said it was wonderful. I ordered some on Friday so I will let you know how it is.

Today I need to go to the store. I want to get some fresh green beans because I didn’t get to the farmers market on Sat. I might also see if they have some new potatoes. I have been microwaving them for bake potatoes because they are smaller. They also taste a lot better than the big bags of potatoes. Maybe I will even pick up a sweet potato and make some baked sweet potato fries. I hope everyone has a good Sunday.
