It's Here

My first deadline is here....I'm two pounds shy of reaching my goal...am I gonna cry about it? NO! I've come a long way and I'm very happy! =D If you'll notice I have not been posting how much I've actually lost....is seems by advertising it that I actually jinx myself. So for now I'll remain quite. ;)

Still Pressing On!

Been a busy day, cleaned house for a family member that has been very sick, came home and made dinner, relaxed for a time, put kids in bed and did my cardio/strength training. I'm pooped and my muscles are fatigued! I really need to got get in bed since I'll be cleaning another house tomorrow....and it's not mine either! O.O

The countdown is official....two days to go until my first deadline/goal. What will this deadline hold for me? Only the scale will tell the tale! Hopefully it won't be a nightmare!

3 more miles tacked on making the grand total.....drum roll please!

99.5 miles ripped to shreds!

Nearing My First Goal

I'm almost there....my first goal deadline is coming on Thursday. I must say that my goal is in sight as well! =D Finished up some items on the "to do" list....banking, some cleaning, wrapping, laundry and last but certainly not least- cardio! WooHOO!! tacking on another 3 to the total...will I hit 100 before the week is over? The outlook is looking good!

Total Miles Singed! = 96.5

No Pain No Gain....At Least That's What They Say!

"Who is they?" you ask...I'm not sure but I'm positive that's what they said! haha Anyway, I've slacked slightly on my blogging updates but I'm still going at it. I think my shopping is basically finished and most is wrapped! =D A few items are coming in the mail, but I'm so looking forward to the rest of the week.

I'm quite proud of myself today. We woke up this morning to get ready for church. Had enough time to eat breakfast of two poached eggs and toast (dry) with coffee and water. Then after service we went to the Olive Garden...I know what you thinking.....temptation central! lol I had one breadstick, salad and then ordered a new dish with capellini and seafood....is was listed as one of the lower fat dishes and it was pretty good. Took more than half of it home too. This afternoon I found myself at in-law's house and surrounded by more temptation. Cookies, dip, chips, homemade carmels and more baked goods....WOW! that was kind of hard, but I made it through. I had a small amount of pretzels and one little scoop of dip. Came home and ate an orange. Phew! Another eating disaster diverted! lol

Trusting you all have a great week too!

85.5 + 8= 93.5 miles burned

Where Has My Week Gone???!!

It is only half over but seems like it is already disappeared! Updates on my craziness to follow!

Burn Baby Burn!

Seemed to get a lot accomplished today....cleaned the kitchen, master bath and did a ton of laundry- you'd think I was operating a Chinese Laundromat! lol

T was feeling better and then woke up this morning not feeling very good. Still nauseated from our little bug. =( I can say that I am back to officially being "normal" or at least my version of it! haha

There predicting snow for tomorrow! Yahoo! If it's going to be cold it mind as well snow! But if I know the Ohio Valley we won't get much more than a dusting....and so goes the days of my life!

Jumped on the treadmill for 4 more miles. I also did my cardio/strength training last night, but my internet decided to stop working before I could post. =S So my totals reflect a couple of days.

85.5 Miles Eliminated!

Feeling Normal.....Sort of

Starting to really feel normal for a change. Stomach has been on the weak side since the stomach flu hit over the weekend. Unfortunately, T did come down with it yesterday =( but seems to be getting better this evening. So far so good for little D!

Can't believe Christmas is coming so quickly! =O December is passing me by...not necessarily from Christmas stuff but from life in general.

Did 2.5 miles on the treadmill last night and then some strength training.

Total Miles Butchered = 77.5

Still Cranking It Out!

I'm here.....although my body isn't cooperating the way I want it to. Caught the stomach flu from M who had thrown up only hours before...fun =S My case hasn't been as bad as his and we're on the mend by the Grace of God. Fortunately, Hubby and D have escaped the creeping crud thus far. :)

Still watching what I'm eating and doing my cardio/strength training. Not getting in as much calorie burn as before, but hopefully when my calendar clears a bit (do you hear the laughing?) then I can ramp it up.

Have been doing lots of errands/chores these last few days, but things are getting done around here. Still more to do....always more to do. lol

Helped the hubby put up some Christmas lights outside for the first time. He promised years ago that he would do it for the kids when they were old enough to enjoy it. So since we are staying in town this year it was time to fulfill his promise. Thanks Babe! They look great! =D

Good day but pooped out!

Total Miles Put On Ice = 71.5!

Its the Busy Season

Or should I say the busier season?! Christmas is coming and with it all the hectic events that follow. This year I'm trying to get as much done as early as possible. Come Christmas week I want to do nothing but the things that I want to do! Such as bake with the kiddos, visiting/fellowship and just having plain fun....oh and cardio! lol Tis the season to gain weight, but NOT ME! I will resist! lol

Did my cardio tonight.

Total Miles Rubbed Out! = 69
