Hey every one. Here is my weekend update. Friday I played some basketball and lifted some weight. Saturday I went stair running Need to build strength in my legs for the new fins. And Sunday I again played some basket ball sit ups, push ups and a few more stairs.

I'll buy ER a new weight scale. Today, my weight isn't changing at all, it is going up and down but the more i put muscles, its going up... Today my arm is getting noticeably harder. Guess for me, the weight is gone, now its on to toning up the body and making it the shape like Fabio. Speaking of Fabio, I still have his autograph and a message of encouragment from him to help lose the weight several months ago. Aaaa....good memories....

:happywave 30mins on the emachine. to try something different i did 60sec fast pace then rest then 60sec fast pace... just to break up the routine a bit

has a bit of a scare yesterday.... channel 9 took off dr phil (i watch taped show during my exercises) but found out that its now on channel 10! sad i know

for the past few days.... everytime i think of breaking out and eating off schedule or the wrong thing im trying to give myself 5 seconds to think 'do i want to be that person a year ago'... the answer is NO!

also, my computer beeps at me every 30 mins "remember the drysuit".

just some little things im trying out to keep motiviation in front of me

cheers

I went for what I thought would be a short walk on a greenway trail in a park and I think it must have been over 2 miles. This is on top of the treadmill this morning.

No workout for me today, however I did spend a bit of time tonight pulling weeds. That has to account for something. Beautiful evening. The breeze keep it cool and Thumper the rabbit even enjoyed being outside!

Ah, I just got home from the gym. 30min on the treadmill, 3.0 incline, 3.3 mph. Overall, burned 255 calories (according to the machine) and did 1.65 miles. Also started doing some upper body weights. I have to work on that aspect of my wellness as well.

Yesterday was a dud for me - no gym, just housecleaning and laundry. Saturday I took a hike with my best friend, 3.5 miles, not much in the way of inclines, only gradual coastal hills and a few sanddunes. Having a hard time gauging the amount of activity that counts for though since it was off a machine, my friend doesn't walk as briskly as I would have liked to have (or would normally). Anyhow, at least I was moving.

My diet has been off - eating a bunch of pasta that I foolishly made. Tonight was just cereal as my hubbie just got in from the UK and France (gone for 3 weeks) and passed out from the jetlag sooner than we were able to eat. A bit disappointed in myself, but I was happy that I still made it to the gym.

Now I am faced with how to maintain my healthy(ier) lifestyle with him here. He tends to derail me - maybe, I let him derail me. Regardless, I tend to go off course when he is around. I know that this has been a good venue to help keep me on track by making me need to be more accountable. Thanks!
