More snow

We were hit with another snow storm today. I think we got around 20cm, I worked till 3 pm, and it was getting really slick out there.
This kinda puts a damper on my plans. I was gonna try to hit 2 different house party's but they are like 20 minutes drive apart. I will wait and see if it stops snowing and if they actually clean the roads.
I'm still not totally on the wagon... I tend to cheat a little every day... GRRR
I will get back on track it's just taking me longer then normal.

I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve!!

Ate way too much

I don't have very much to say... except... DAMAGE CONTROL has started.. I got on the scale and I'm up many pounds.....

So I'm recommitted, drinking all my water no more junk.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

Oh boy, this big day is finally here and will be over soon.

Today my plan is go see my mother to open our gifts, then I head to my aunt & uncle's for brunch. We then head over to my dad's, then come back to my mom's for Christmas supper!

I can't wait for Turkey... I love Christmas supper!!!

So this day was certainly not WW friendly but it's only once a year and I'm not gonna go overboard but I will enjoy myself. I hope you all do the same.

Early morning

It's such weird weather for Christmas Eve... it's 7 degrees and raining. Not exactly winter conditions.
I work today only till noon, I plan on coming home and wrapping all my gifts then spending some time on my couch!

I will post more when I have more time... I need to go to work one hour earlier then normal, as you all may know ... I'm not a morning person so this is extremely hard for me.LOL

Tales from last minute shopper

I am the only girl I know who waits till the last minute to start Xmas shopping. I say every year: I'll start early and I'm not getting very much.... BUT once again, I wait till the 21st to start my holiday shopping.

I still need to find something perfect for my mom, and a little something for my grandfather.

This means more shopping in a frenzy.

Today I am going to deliver food boxes to people in need. I have never done volunteering before. It's been on my list of things to do before I die.. I think at 27 yrs old it's time I start giving back to my community. So a co-worker and I are jumping in the car and go to the organization to pick up the food boxes and addresses and go deliver. You do about 2-3 families and you can go back to get more if you want. It's a great place that offers services to people in need all year round.

Have a great Saturday!!

No Christmas Miracle :(

No big loss to report, but I did loose 1 lb!
Considering the facts that I only worked out twice, and I had Chinese food and a Christmas staff party this week. I'm just happy I had a loss.

So this was my last WI before Xmas, and I did not make it to my mini goal. I'm a little bummed but at the same time I'm happy of myself for getting this far.
My total loss is 98.6 lbs. Close enough!! LOL

Miracles can happen

It's freaking cold in NB today! I would rather more snow then freezing my butt off.

Just thought I would say unless there is a Christmas miracle tonight at WW there is no way I'm loosing 2.4 lbs. Which means I will not meet my Xmas mini goal.
I have made it this far and close to 100 there is no way I'm totally depressed about that. I'm proud but I wish I could have made it!

I will still post tonight even if I don't loose that big number.

Going to see Keith Urban!!!

I made myself a promise I would see more concerts. I love all kinds of different music, I live for music. I just bought my tickets to go see Keith Urban in August 2008!!! I'm so excited!

I have tickets for Michael Buble in February and I'm super excited. Now if only I could go see Justin Timberlake I'll be set for the year!! LOL

It snowed last night and I used that for an excuse not to go to the gym.... so bad
I am going tonight for sure.
I woke up with no power this morning, I hate waking up in a frenzy, if the dog had not barked I probably would have slept longer... not good

Today at the office we talked about the staff party, I could not believe people were telling me they believed I had changed. I did the "Vanna White" during our prize draws. I mean you are talking to someone who would have died if I had been asked to do that. Now I'm volunteering.
I'm proud of myself and can't wait to get to goal.

I need to commit to the gym more often and start taking charges of my food choices, or I will never see my goal.

Sunday morning

I am gonna post of pic of my fur babies!

I decided to post a pic of them wearing some reindeer antlers, but they really hate them so they are not looking so nice.

Not the best pics of them but very festive!! LOL

I guess we are suppose to have a storm today, I'm debating if I just don't stay in or go out and do groceries.

I will try to go to the gym at least.

really not the cutest pic of them but I think they are cute anyways, even if they have hate in their eyes because of the stupid antlers!! LOL

Not too bad

Last night was my Xmas staff party, we had a supper theatre, the food was good the show was a comedy pretty funny.
We then went to a boss's house and partied some more. I managed to stick to some veggies and shrimp.. no chips or chocolate...however there was some alcohol...

I hate these type of things normally I hate going and first to leave... Well last night, I convinced people to stick around till 3:30 am, dancing and chatting.

I had a good time, I felt good, most of my co-workers are women and their men don't see me that often so I had some nice compliments which is always a good thing.

Not too bad for WW but I don't expect a big loss.

WI STS

I stayed the same on the scale this week, I don't want to make excuses, I just did not try hard enough.
I only went to the gym twice, I was retaining water like a humpback whale, and I went a little over on the week-end.
Now I have a lunch at work that includes Chinese food, I have my staff party tomorrow night.
Next week should be horrible.
I guess I made it close to my mini goal I should not be bummed.

brrr freezing in NB

It's so freaking cold out here. I hate cold weather, I don't mind snow but -20 is just not acceptable. LOL

So I did really bad food choices over the week-end, I did drink all my water , but I think I'm getting ready for TOM so I'm retaining water. I only went to the gym Sunday, one whole week without going then I finally went and I started feeling crappy so I cut it short. I will go tonight after work.
I don't expect miracles on the scale tomorrow, but that is alright, as long as I'm sticking to it that's all that counts.

Crappy Sunday

I feel like crap.
I overate yesterday big time... I went Christmas shopping and only got 2 items. I could not find anything for anyone...Because I skipped out on groceries last week my food bill was so high yesterday. Oh well I hope that means I'm gonna eat good this week and loose weight!
I did not go to the gym, I instead stayed home and finished my Xmas cards and dabbled online.
Not very active at all.

Today I will eat normal and stay within my points, I will drink all my water and I will get some activity in.

Saturday ramblings

I am disappointed in myself once again. I had planned to do so much after work yesterday, finish my Christmas cards, make a plan what to buy everyone, go to the gym. What did I do??
Fall asleep on the couch.

Today, I am going shopping I hope to at least start my Christmas shopping and then do my groceries.

My boss who is so encouraging. Sometimes is just a man who tries to say sweet stuff to keep me motivated ends up not being that motivating..LOL
Yesterday he told me If I thought about how far I've come I should be happy... He said I had almost lost one of his daughter in weight comparison... That's right one of his daughter is a tiny thing 105lbs. So funny to think he meant look how much you lost... All I could could think of was must be nice to only weight 105, healthy, pretty, and probably eat whatever you want. LOL

Have a happy Saturday!

Drumroll please

Yay me!!
I just got back from my WI and I lost 3.6 lbs!! My new total is..... 97.6lbs!!
That's right I only need 2.4 lbs before Xmas to meet my mini goal....
Will I make it?? I bet you can't take all the suspense. LOL
It must be all the extra arm exercises I did! LOL ( if you are confused go see gym review below!)

I had such a bad mood day, that totally made me happy!

Snowstorm Tuesday

We had 20 cm of snow fall last night, this morning the winds really picked up and it's still snowing. I guess we are supposed to have another 20 cm dumped on us today.
Our office decided to close for the day, the city is pretty much shutting down. The city buses are out till at least noon, that is never a good sign.
I live in a rural area and the snow drifts are so bad, both my dogs standing up in it you could not see there bodies. ( they are 60-80 lbs so not little!) I'll try to take some pics with them in the snow.

Having said of all of this I love snow storms!!! I think they are so much fun when you are home safe!

Last night, I ate like a pig, did not make it to the gym. I felt so sorry for myself... and then so mad.
I need to kick this rut I'm in, maybe I'll switch to core program to see if this can get me re- intersted in loosing weight. I need to keep going!

Gym review

OK so I joined, I hate it as much as I thought I would, and I'm sure it's not gonna get better.

The point is I'm still going, working out and feel like at least I'm moving!

I went Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and plan on going tomorrow. This is definitely better then sitting on my rear end at home!

(this story is supposedly hilarious because everyone I tell almost pisses their pants! I'm sure it's funnier when I tell it in person!)

Well Monday was my first night I made sure to go late so that no one would be there. I have never been to a gym in my life, so all the machines were very intimating.

So I made myself look around and try to figure the machines out before anyone else came in. I had done Curves years ago and thought this would be a walk in the park... well I was wrong.

There was a bench and it looked like something I had done at Curves, so thinking I was all smart I decided to give it a go. So I lay down on my stomach facing these things that are shaped like Q-Tips, and I put my arms in and do like 30 in a row....
WOW I mean I thought I was gonna love this because it was so EASY!! I was a pro already!!!
Then the door opened up and I had told myself if it was a buff muscle man I was out of there.

Keep in mind I had not even sweated and I was ready to do some treadmill and go home, thinking all those bicep workout I had done was satisfactory.

This woman came in and loved to talk, so I told her I was new and had no idea what I was doing.

She offered to show me her workout and how the machines work...Long story short she takes me to the machine I had already done. In my mind I'm thinking I'll see if she can do 30 in a row like I just did...............So she says " you add weights and sit down put your legs in the puffy things and lift your legs"...........

That's right people, I had done those stupid things laying down, using my arms not legs and WITHOUT ANY WEIGHTS.

I felt so stupid, but I learned and I was gratedfull to this lady. Boys was my face red when I realized I had not workout at all.

So now I make sure to add weights to the machines, and work out much longer! LOL
