I have been doing awesome!!! I haven't missed a day of walking in I can't even remember when!!

Saturday, we had a birthday dinner party and I calculated the meal to be about 50 points. That day, I walked for an hour after I woke up and I ate very very light during the day. I had not touched my 35 extra points that week, so I was confident that I could eat everything in moderation. The food was so good, and I wanted more at that moment, but after a few minutes, I knew that I was full and content.

On Sunday, I wanted to get more exercise in, so I walked one hour and thirty minutes in the morning, I landscaped for 2 hours and then I walked for another hour before going inside. I was melting with sweat, with the landscaping. I really should have showered and changed my clothing before the next walk, because my bathing suit was drenched in salty sweat. By the end of the walk, I was very uncomfortable. After I showered, I felt like a million bucks again!

Can you believe that I am 7 pounds away from my goal weight!!! amazing!!!

Sandy gave me her fat jeans and they fit me perfect, in fact, I am sure they will be too loose very quickly!!!

I must stop eating all the junk!!!!! Yes, it is low in points, but eating healthy things is so much better for you. The chocolate eating is a no-no. I will not be eating anymore chocolate until I get to goal weight!!! ayyyyy yi yi - I hate not having control!!!!!

Since it is Friday, I will walk more than I normally do. I will try to get in a 1 hr 30 min walk!! The walk will include lunges, walking backward and arm raises.

Dinner will be either a zero point soup or a 1 point soup...if I am hungry! Let's see!!

Have a great weekend!

Sea Ya!!

Jeans

I went shopping today for some clothes because I really had almost nothing to wear. I needed some jeans for starter. I didn't know my size, so I got a 10 and an 8. Being optimistic, I go for the 8 and started putting them on....can you believe that they were toooo big!!!!! I was in shock, so I went and got a size 6 and though they fit on the waist, they were a little too big on the thighs!!! AMAZING!!! I ran out of time and did not get any jeans, but I did get a couple cute skirts and a bunch of Medium and Small tops!!!! Everything was so cute!!! Shopping is so much easier when you are not fat!!!

I still have to go back to find me some jeans, but until then, I can't wait to clean up my closet and hang all the new stuff!!

Tomorrow, I will be going to a Jack Johnson concert in West Palm Beach, so I took the day off to enjoy that full body massage at 10am and enjoy some relaxing time with the family, while listening to Jack play his awesome music!

Yesterday, I did my hour walk and added some lunges to my walk. It kicked up all the sweating and added some variety to the walk. I also spent some time pulling weeds, which was great for the legs. I will probably do the same today.

Tomorrow, I will wake up early, to get my walk done before the massage.

I will be too busy to blog tomorrow, so I will continue on Friday!!

Sea Ya!!

My Knee

Can I tell you how important knees are? VERY!! You take it for granted when everything is working right, but I can tell you that whenever something in your body hurts or stops you from doing things as normal, it sucks!!

I have had surgery on my left knee, twice. It took a very long time to finally heal and start feeling better, but every so often, it acts up. On Friday, I walked/jogged and it felt great, but then the next day, it didn't feel as good, so I did not jog again. My knee was still not perfect yesterday, so I kept it to a walk only. It is so annoying when the mind wants to do something and yet your body tells you know. We must listen to our body and just go with the flow, so I guess I will run when it lets me lol.

Slowly but surely, the weight is going down!! I ate a little too much this weekend, but alot less than I used to eat. I did really good on all my exercising. On Friday, I got home, cooked for my mom, cooked for Herman, fed the dogs and ran out of the house for my hour walk, which turned into a jog/walk. I sweated like crazy and it felt great! I had to do everything quickly, to make it on time for a party. Yesterday, after walking 1 hour 30 minutes, I got my bike and biked for about 30 minutes of fast pedaling. Biking is definitely a fun thing to do!!

The girls got me Jack Johnson concert tickets for my birthday, and the concert is on Thursday. I took the day off, since we have to go to West Palm Beach. and guess what......I SCHEDULED MY CHRISTMAS MASSAGE for 10am on Thursday!!!! lol I received this certificate over a year and a half ago and I am finally using it!!! I have a facial certificate also, but the lady that does the facials, does not get there till 2pm and I want to leave the Keys at 2pm to be on time for the concert! I guess I will have something else to look forward to some other day!!!
