Friday Fill-ins, Spring? are you there?

Go on over to Friday Fill-ins and get yourself some? or just read mine. :)

1. Oh gross! I thought it was _spring, but nope, it's snow and slush and mud season, oh and don't forget the rain now____.

2. __Not Making A Bucket List...___ well THAT's off my bucket list!

3. No, _I will not eat any more beef this week, really, there's been a huge beef surplus in my fridge, it's got to go, move over cow, bring in the Chicken____.

4. __I pray for all those in Japan and surrounding Counties in the path of the Tsunami with all my___ heart and soul.

5. And then __I also pray for my own families here and count the blessings that are really just snow and rain and ice and minimal weather discomforts in comparison___.

6. I can't forget __that next time the boys are off, I must buy easier Wooden puzzles. Today AJ had a scream fest because parts of his car puzzle wouldn't stay in the right holes. I would also like to mention to Creatology? you have to get your cuts placed better. If part 32 should slide into slot 32? make it fit. Make sure they line up, Quality is everything to 6-11yrolds. Frustration is not what this 38yrold wants to hear about, I was looking for quiet zoned in activities, not something I had to fix For them, I've created a Formula one car and a Car today. Note I said "I". The Helicopter turned out great though, thanks___.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to __less rain but that's already been a dashed dream___, tomorrow my plans include __moving slush out of the ditch so the water can flow, if it doesn't melt tonight___ and Sunday, I want to _get to mass, maybe alone since others are whining, alone time with 300 other people? it's almost heavenly____! (cue the flood warnings... ACK! Radio is on can you tell?)

OH!!! also change your clocks this weekend if you do that in your locality!!

I Did it! I WANT to do it Again!!

Tonight I was the 5K for my Weight Watchers. I HAD a blast. I'm still kind of energized. It went fabulously. I went with a friend. We walked a week ago, after our Meeting just to see how we were doing. We did 5K last Wednesday night in about 59.minutes. Tonight? We did our 5K in 49m13seconds!!! and we did it for us? And WOW does it ever feel accomplished to sign up for something and say you did it! i'm so awesomely Proud of me and my walking friends.

I only wish I had thought to take my camera and actually take a picture of me and my friend crossing that line! It wasn't a ribbon or anything cool you see other people walking through but it was still our finish line. We hung around the finish for a bit too and cheered on some more of the walkers there tonight with us for the walk. I tried to look like a mii (wii character) Jumping up and down at the end of the "run" when you do the wiifit run! haha!

I couldn't stop talking when I got home. I'm pretty sure my Hubbie is still rolling his eyes at me. I didn't want to sit down either. Energized! I'm energized. I did a load of laundry, I stood at the sink and did a load of dishes, and now I'm looking for something to do. You should see my fingers flying across the keyboard? Is this what "High?" feels like? wow!!!

mood of the day? Accomplished, Happy and Energized!! :) GO ME!


(I didn't weigh-in this week I'll visit the altar of truth next Wednesday night)

The Altar of Truth has Spoken but

I didn't smash it with a Hammer, I wanted to but I didn't. I  suspect my "gain" is all about some TOM/AF/PMS and too many Triscuit crackers.  So I'll have to remember this next week when I behave myself completely and leave my sludge Hammer in the car.  I was a bit bummed. I had expected to "stay the same" but not go up! I knew I was bloated but this? totally blew me away. Where's a good stomach bug when you need it?
I will stop whining, get back to the vitamins, the water, the healthy oils, and the walking. It's pouring rain but MJ has rubber boots, he can come with me and I'll let him jump in puddles. I've got to DO something today. I could wiifitplus too. The Rain will not stop me. AF will not stop me! Darn hormones!


Sorry for the men reading... I know you don't need all those details... ignore or avoid eye contact with the computer whatever works best...

The Altar of Truth has Spoken

And I'm totally excited and happy to listen!!! I'm down 2lbs this week. GO ME!!!I don't eat supper before Weighin and went to the store to get me some supper on the way out.  I ended up getting some cut and mixed fruit. Hey if someone else does all the prep work, it's got to be easier. Right? and I think I deserved it.

I've been sticking to healthy rewards post meeting. I'm having the most trouble though with the feeling of crunch. I'm tired of popcorn, so I've moved on to rice cakes. Not fabulous but it's that "crunch" I miss from chips.

I'll keep moving forward, and get this weight off, I've promised myself that. I also bought a journal type book for 94Cents on teh clearance rack. It was pink and has hearts all over itself. (The meetings are at the grocerystore) I figure I could use the hearts to focus on the love of myself. I'm also keeping track of all the "fees" I'm spending. The current plan since I'm a lifetime member is 3wks paid in a row gets me 1 free trip to the altar of truth. I think if I write down the 45.00 I pay out, and then tally up all the 15.00 wks I don't have to pay, for the 4th in a row and the free weeks once I get to goal? I should be able to cancel out the $$ I've put in this time around? I know I'll never get the $$ back that I paid out in 2003-2009 between going, losing it all, getting pregnant, 3months postpartum frees, and my various attempts to lose this baby weight. I think it would be good to aim for September since I can't call him a baby once he starts going to school??

BTW when losing weight? you will need more birth Control options/planning. I still need to invest in a stick!!! 

OK so Total losses after 2 weeks on plan? 6.6lbs! YAY!!! Now off to the dentist, got to get my smile perfected for when I'm all beamy and showy offy!

This whole WW thing continues-update

Since well I'm "back" at it, and some are actually reading? I'm going to tell you my results...

1week of following every ww rule to the book, accept my oil troubles resulted in 4.6lbs less weight on me.

I went out the other night to "cool off" after talking to Mr8 and his constant requests to talk to me. I was headed up my street, but saw a friend/neighbour and her son and hubbie on a side street. Her Mr 2 was pushing his pushcar into the middle of the street so I strategically placed msyelf into the middle of the street so the car coming up had to slow down. See I'm the pylon? I figure I was big enough to see, but Mr 2 wasn't. The car kept going in it's own direction, without turning into Mr 2's street. YAY! I started talking to Mr2's Mom, she walked beside me for 4 blocks! YAY! When She went back home? we arranged to go walking nightly starting this Friday! My Wednesdays and Thursday are currently booked for MRalmost 11's Judo and my Meetings, so That's 5/7 nights of walking planned. Now to get me some DEET in institutional size!

Happy Thursday all
