Monday pics

Thanks to those who just added me on their follow list, thanks to those who were already there.

I did make it to the gym yesterday. I felt like crap all day and convinced myself not to go. Later on in the evening I got a burst of energy so I decided to head towards the gym.(the burst of energy could have been because I had slept all day)

I hate Mondays so I decided to share some pics to brighten up boring Monday.

Me getting ready to go down the hill on a Krazy Karpet...

Why did I take my dog downhill with me he was trying to bring me to the tree to pee...

The exercise part(no fun) going back up the hill

Miss. Sadie looking from a comfortable spot, the top of the hill.

That's not poop in the back ground it's gloves.

Me after about 1 1/2 hours of sliding

This is me on Friday at work doing the inventory...OK so this is me trying to eat the whole cake to myself...Worry not it did not happen my 3 other co workers would have not let me.

Scale, Stroll , Saturday

Old scale:

I will always remember how you used to tell me I was over the limit... I stashed you in my closet until I was ready to show you who's boss. Now you tell me what I weight very nicely but just not precise enough...

Come to find out it weights in increments of 0.5lbs only if you are under 200 lbs... Which I am not.

So I decided to splurge on a new scale and find one that will weight me at 0.2 lbs no matter what weight I am.

New scale:

I think you're pretty now let's see how we get along...so far I am 0.4 lbs more then I was Wednesday... You are not starting on the right path. :-)

I forgot about my little play date I had with two co workers and our dogs to go walking in a nature park. I did not even come close to meeting them at 1. Too busy shopping.

Normally I would have just came home did some house stuff . Instead since I had scheduled in a walk , I took my doggies out for our own walk.

It was great. I went to a very nice trail that we always go in the summer and it's like 5 mins from my house(by car) it's groomed but yet walking in the snow is like walking in sand. It was a great freaking walk.

It hurts, I sweated, plus it was snowing a little. It was great the dogs had a blast.

Deep down I love walking by myself and use the winter months to hibernate I really should not. I can go to that little trail by myself once in a while you meet one person walking, or a ATV driving by but apart from that it's complete solitude.

I have always wanted to put a pic of me after working out... Since I hardly do any exercise here is my first one!

Progress pics

It's cold... BRRR!

I have not done anything for Christmas yet. No gifts bought, did not even mail my cards yet. Can you say... Not into it this year.

I have no motivation for anything. I honestly think it's the time of year.

Someone offered me 4 snow tires for my car, now I just need to make sure they are the right size. This is so exciting, fingers crossed they fit!

Ok so since I have been Miss. depressing pants. I decided to try to show myself the progress I have made. I have assembled 3 pics, from 2006,2007,2008 and I must post this on my fridge.

I am gonna share the pics with all my bloggy friends! Who in my opinion, are the best!!

Party details

My office staff party is over!

Here's the deal this won't be a long post. I am sooo freaking tired.

You see I am what some people might call a night hawk. I tend to get a second wind late at night.

For the second year in a row, I convince some party people to keep the party going after everyone has left. This year same thing I convinced four other people to switches houses and dance for 2 hours straight. Which leads me into coming home at 5AM! Alright last night but I am feeling the pain today.

I actually had a nice time. Not as fun as I had hoped but still a great evening.

It was at a boss's house and they had hired a amazing chef to cook for us. He's so great! He cooks Chinese/ Thai food. The best food I think I have ever had.

It was easy to eat well and I did not eat too much because I could serve myself. There were so many courses that I kept taking little portions which in the end made me eat less.

So here's the entertainment part, he also does your Chinese horoscope. He's so funny, I am sure some people pissed their pants.

When he got to me he hit the nail on the head. I had the longest session he even had to sit down.

I won't go into details (too tired) but I will say something that made everyone laugh... I am not a morning person(I'm really not!) and I should stop buying black clothes, more colors like orange, green, blues. He's amazing!

I gave my camera to my co worker because she loves to snap pics every time we are together so I let her tell people to say cheese! Anyways here's great pic of me in my new shirt! After that Mr. Chef called her miss paparazzi. LOL

He had nicknames for everyone and let me say for the most part the fit well the personalities.

Mine was Miss sensitive!

Snowy Saturday

I got up this morning expecting snow and I was stoked to see some. I love snow (hate driving in it) so this morning was snowy and windy. A storm had been brewing all morning, by the time I got up it was slowing down.

As I put the dogs out and shoveled a bit, I took some pics of my surroundings.

My Buddy loves the snow, Sadie hates it with passion.(my dogs!)

Now it's almost stopped, I just had a huge breakfast, I will go out to shovel some more and play in the snow with Buddy while Sadie sits and watches. That should burn off some calories.

Buddy giving me a look, you can really see the snow on him because of his black coat.

Party review

This little acadian girl was very bad...

Oh my, I don't go out much so I over did it just a bit.

I have always been one to handle my liquor very well and because of my big weight I could drink like a fish.

Having lost 120 lbs, I guess I should have realized that my resiliency to booze would change a bit.

I had fun!!! It's not often I can say that!

In the day I had a huge breakfast, then I got busy with the dogs at the vet and I skipped lunch. The gang all met up at a friends cottage, I only ate a burger, some crackers, and lots of watermelon & strawberries.

Then the drinking began.

We were at a concert/beer garden. I danced all night... sweating. So at least I burned some cals.

At the end of the night we headed to McD's NOT A GOOD IDEA.

I got home it was 4AM and went right to bed, I felt fine. I woke up at 7 and oh man I felt horrible.

I was thankfully not sick, but never in my life have I felt like that.

Would I do it all over again... YUP!

Now that I know I will adjust my booze consumption.

Out of 70 pics of the night, this is the best one of me.

On of the girls decided to take off her hat and I tried it... I did not keep it on.

Feel great!

Holy macaroni I can't believe I am about to type this .... I actually jogged.

OK I admit out of a 45 minutes walk I only jogged for like 8-10 minutes. I have never even went faster then leisurely walking. It was so invigorating and so darn hot. I guess at 25 degrees heat I should have maybe not decided to jog. My poor dogs were like WTF... What a great walk!

I now aim to build up more jogging power every little bit will help.

I am now heading to the car wash because I think my car is supposed to be white and not a beige shade. I will then head to the grocery store, I need food in my fridge.

Here are some pics I took at the dog park yesterday. ( can you tell I scrapbook I'll take photos of anything!)

Sadie sitting waiting for us to leave.(She is not social and is always off leash she listens very well so for her not exciting place to be)

Buddy enjoying the dog park... Actually running around freely.( He's an escapee and always has to be leashed) So for him the park is paradise!

Great Weekend

I actually had a great weekend.

On Friday as previously posted I drove up with a co-worker/friend to Halifax. We had tickets for a show. Naturally 7 is the band they are amazing. They are a vocal play group. All the instruments you hear are made by one of their voices. They are absolutely amazing. I had seen them before but not in a full show. My friend had goosebumps from the amazing voices. They put a really a good show. You should You tube them if you've never heard of them. Although I must say nothing compares to live.

I have a couple of pics of them on stage, none of us(forgot) and we got to meet them after the show. They are truly nice guys.

I did get WI on Friday before leaving, I had only gained 1.2 lbs. Oh well life goes on.

On the way there we stopped at her boyfriend's Italian restaurant I had a pizza and was stuffed all day. It was yummers!

I had a pretzel at 7 and that's it.... NOT GOOD. Under eating is not the answer but I truly was not hungry all day.

We left early Saturday morning... I am not a morning person so I did not eat or drink anything until I came home.

Yesterday,I overate and did not get to go out for a walk as planned.

Today I am doing much better I am caught up on sleep and am trying to get all my water in.

I have another short week... YAY!! I have Friday off again!

It's a great deal I made with my boss. Whenever he's off (golfing) I get to have the day off in lieu of taking a full 2 weeks vacation.

OOH I almost forgot my best friend called while we were on the way Friday .... She had her ultrasound Friday morning... She's having TWINS! She already has a 2 yr old son... She was in shock. I am excited, she did not know how to react. All she told the tech doing the ultrasound was " I guess I should have a bought a minivan instead" She just bought a new car and was debating whether or not to go with a van...LOL

Here are a few pics!

The whole group. Absolutely amazing.

The one on the left told my friend that at the beginning she did not look too sure but then he made her smile and knew she was hooked.LOL

He's my fav... first of all he does awesome electric guitar his voice goes so high... Then when we met them he's the one that talked to me the most. He was so flattering. He looks good and knows it but he's so down to earth. Actually they all are. They have a huge belief in God and so that keeps them align.

New Hairdo!!

I just got back from the hairdresser I love my new hair!

This is by far the best haircut I have ever had. You are talking to a girl up until about a year ago always had my hair long and in a ponytail.

I did cut them this past year but tonight I must say I am please with the cut and style!

WI .... Not even worth reporting

I actually went to get WI tonight... I had to miss yesterday's WI but it to another town for tonight. I only lost 0.2.... Like that is the same in my book as STS. I am just happy I forced myself to go even thought I really did not feel like it.

I bought some Breyers ice cream 100 calorie cup. I never splurge on these things unless I am really craving ice cream and I was.

I bought a different kind then I normally do it's called English toffee and fudge. It's good!

I love food that is already portioned so that I know exactly what I can get for the amount of points it is. It makes my life easier :)

Pics

Right:October 2006

Left: Today 100lbs less

I can't believe I have made it this far. I can't wait to get to the end of my journey, however I am proud of my accomplishments.

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

Thanksgiving Monday

Happy turkey day!!

I am not having turkey supper :(

I'm probably the only one on the planet! My mother's boyfriend has a huge cold and she did not want to invite the family over so we can get all sick. I'm alone so I'm not cooking a turkey for me. I'll just cook a piece of chicken and I'll be happy.

This Thanksgiving day I am thankful for.... loosing this weight and continuing my journey! I am thankful for my mother who has been there for me countless times! I am thankful for my doggies who I think have kept me from going crazy this past year.

I am also posting my before and after pics (so far) for all of you to see. I can't believe I'm posting these but it's proof that I am working this program!

Happy Thanksgiving day to everyone and enjoy your turkey!
