Meh

So, had my WI this morning...it kinda sucked.  Was hoping for a loss as I had a fairly good week, but instead I was up 1.5 lbs.  I'm disappointed but I know that I had a good week and it still counts, even if it didn't on the scale.  But still I had a crappy day today.  Just was feeling very meh all day.  And I hate how cold it is, poor puppy can hardly get back in fast enough to make sure he doesn't freeze his paws.

Back at it tomorrow though and hoping for a good rest of the week and hopefully some results next week. 

Thanks for the support and so great to meet you Katy.  I do love a fellow golfer!

What a great week :)

You may be able to tell from the title, but I am having a great week!  I've been doing well eating.  And last Sunday I promised myself that I would work out at least three times this week and I have done that too.  The workouts are great, usually about 35 minutes jogging on the treadmill and another 30 minutes on the bike.  I found that I do need to be careful though because I pushed myself extra hard on the bike once this week, which was great, but then I ended up with sore knees a bit and I think that then affected me on the treadmill for my next workout.  So I will watch out for that.

My husband has continued to workout with me and I am really happy about that too.  Even this morning, he spent a lot of time shoveling outside and was exhausted when he was done so wasn't planning on working out with me (he is also just getting over a cold), but he surprised me by still coming downstairs and using the treadmill for 30 minutes.  Yay him!  And then he actually said thanks to me and that I was good motivation for him...awe...

So...I have decided that I am going to start posting pictures.  I have been scared to, but I think it will be good for me.  Can't keep the picture of my puppy up forever, that's just not what I look like, lol.  So I will try to do that tomorrow.  Or even tonight if I get a chance.  I have a lot of weight to lose and one day I hope to be able to look back and see the pictures showing progress.

Okay, another great thing this week:  To start, I kind of suck.  I am a true home-body, love being at home, never ever get bored here.  So often I will choose not to go places or do things because I just want to stay home, especially if I am doing something new AND alone.  Last fall I registered myself for a photography workshop when a groupon came out and it was for this past Saturday.  I actually had to talk myself into going.  But once I decided for sure I was, man was I excited!  And I went and I loved it.  Ayla, it truly would have been wonderful if we could have done that together, I thought of you a lot.  Is it weird that I am proud of myself just for going? lol  Well, I am.  And I may just do it again.  Now I want to take pictures again and see if I can apply some of what I learned.  

Tomorrow morning is WI, I am hoping to lose at least 1 lb, more would be great but who knows.  

One last fantastic thing...I HAVE MORE THAN 1 FOLLOWER...OMG, lol.  I'm pretty excited about that, lol.  So hello Katy and Anna, you have made me very happy today! :)

Compliments

Hello everyone...hahaha...that means you Ayla, lol.  Someday maybe someone else will read this to though, you never know!

Things have been fairly good.  I really enjoyed my holidays, was great to spend so much time at home with Gord and Tiger.  My puppy is so cuddly, he's awesome.  Gord and I watched lots of movies and even worked out some.  I actually worked out on Christmas Eve...and my husband worked out with me!  It was really nice, that's the first time he's done that and I really enjoyed it.  He's so slim he doesn't think he needs to work out, but he enjoyed it and was sore the next day.  We did that a couple times during the holidays until I started not feeling well.  Sometimes I get vertigo and that makes it a bit hard to use the treadmill.  I have no excuse for not using my bike though.  But I lost weight over the holidays at least until I got sick, then I think I gained a bit of what I lost.  But if I can come out even in the end, I'm good with that, so we'll see how my WI goes on Monday.  

The nicest thing happened today, one of my co-workers said "man are you losing weight!".  I love that! :)  But if I love that, how come I can't just accept the compliment??  Of course I thanked her, but not after disagreeing and saying it must be the new clothes I bought.  New goal:  learn how to just graciously accept a compliment.

Hope "everyone" has a good weekend  :)
