This was a short week, thank God! Now it is time to prepare for the weekend.

This Saturday, I have a birthday dinner and the rest of the time is mine. That means that I will have time to exercise. I will walk one hour thirty minutes tonight. Tomorrow and Sunday, I will wake up early, take a long walk and in the evenings, I will take an hour walk. I will be fighting to weigh in at 141.5 on Monday.

Stay tuned till Monday to see if I can really do it.

Finally!

I finally replaced my old grill with a new one!!! yaaaaaaaaaay!! I grill practically everyday, so having a crappy bbq was driving me crazy. You need to have the right tools to do the job right!!!

Sea Ya!!

Was there some sort of mistake?

Was a mistake made when they barely gave salads any calories and loaded up the ice cream with tons of calories? How about chocolate, can you imagine if broccoli had alot of calories and chocolate had none? Why did this happen? I wonder if carrots had a bunch of calories, would we want it as much as a piece of pie? I think our best bet is to truly enjoy the healthy foods and treat ourselves to the fatty foods once in a while and in small portions. It is our only hope, because if you want to maintain a healthy weight, fried food is not going to be your friend!

Weekends like this are hard. It is more difficult to stick to your plan and make the time to exercise. You must be committed and not let anything stop you. Come Tuesday morning, you want to get on that scale and be happy with the numbers that you are seeing.

I did some groceries already of some healthy stuff, so that should help somewhat! Who doesn't like fresh fruits all cut up and ready to go?

Let's fight for our goals, so that we can be closer to achieving them!!

Life Exists!!

Today is a very very special day in my life. Today I heard for the very first time, my grandchild's heartbeat and I saw my grandchild inside Nancy's belly!!! This is the true meaning of Love at First Sight. You always dream of this moment, but when it actually happens, it is truly a miracle. May God always bless this child with all the hope, dreams, love,health and happiness. I know that Nancy and Harold will be amazing, loving parents!!! Herman and I are going to be GRAND-PARENTS!!!! too cool!!

So this is another reason to continue to lose weight and exercise. I am going to need tons of energy to keep up with my little grandchild. I'm gonna be a hottie for a grandma!! lol

Sweat

You know what makes me sweat like crazy.....landscaping. Any kind of yardwork, makes me sweat so much, that I drench my clothing in sweat lol When you are pulling weeds, you are working your legs and your arms. Another good thing, other than the exercise and the sweat is that when you are done, you have accomplished something for your home. So next time you are bored of whatever exercise you have been doing, then go landscape or wash your car, or clean your house, or organize a closet...IT'S ALL EXERCISE!!!

Breakfast
Black Coffee = 0 points
Breakfast Bread = 2 points
Snack
Almonds = 2 points
Lunch
Salad = 6 points

Chicken = 2 points
Watermelon = 1 point
Snack

I find it amazing how quickly points add up. 18 points is not much. You really have to be totally aware of everything that goes in your mouth, if you want to lose some weight.

It started raining yesterday while I was walking, so I only got to do one hour. Today, I will try for the hour and a half!!

Sea Ya!!
