Woo Hoo. Down 2 lbs. That's a total of 7.4 lbs. Feeling good about that one. Had a pretty quiet day today, and will spend most of tomorrow cleaning and doing groceries for the week. So exciting. Guess I have to start thinking about getting the tree and stuff up. Maybe next week after SKs Xmas concert and work open house is done. Boss man is heading out of town at the end of the week, too, so things should slow down then.
Last week was a total stress fest. So glad it is over and so amazed that I didn't eat my way through it.
More later. ttfn

Guess Who Has Worked Out Every Day This Week?
If you guessed me, you would be right - TurboJam on Monday, and Fattdogg and I have done 3.5 miles every morning so far this week. Fattdogg wasn't as enthusiastic this morning, so I think he is a little tired of this routine. Too bad for him!
The torrential downpour just stopped suddenly, and the sky appears to be clearing, so I should be able to make it 5 days in a row tomorrow morning. If not, there is always a DVD!
Food is right on point, too. I've only used 12 WPAs, and I've gotten 18 APs as of this morning. WOOT!
Oh, yeah, new sneakers make the world a more comfortable place. I had to replace my everyday sneakers (that I bought for running in February and ran in twice). They were on sale for a really good reason. They were the pits. No support whatsoever. Yesterday was the straw that broke the camel's back. I couldn't take it anymore. My right leg has been bothering me since my bike ride almost 2 weeks ago - my hip was just a little out of place, and that was the cause of the pain when I ran last week. I finally got it to move a little this morning after my walk (finally), and that made a big difference today. ANYWAY, I found some new sneaks on sale yesterday and wore them today. I feel like a new woman. Oh, yes, I work in a corporate culture that allows jeans and sneakers on a day-to-day basis and I don't work from home.
Guess I better get a little more work done before the whistle blows.

It's Tuesday!
Fly-by early post - I've been up since just after 5:00. Fattdogg and I went for a 70 minute walk. Yesterday I got up and did my TurboJam DVD and Bear just looked at me soo sad that I had my workout gear on and he didn't get a walk. AGAIN! You should see how he looks at me when I go for a run. Anyway, he is a happy and tired guy this morning.
BK had his annual band concert last night. Hubby was too stiff and sore to go, and it was actually nice to go by myself, except that I started to get a little lonely. Oh, well the kids did a great job.
Ate a little too much last night for supper (darned pork roast was too tasty). Good think I started the day off with a bunch of AP. There is something to be said for getting them out of the way first thing. I had developed the habit of waking up and watching the boob toob for a while before I started my day. This is way better. (note to self - keep it up).
Anyway, the plan for the day is water, water, water. I've been slacking on that aspect of the program for the last week or so. It is one of the cornerstones for me, as I am one of those people that looks at the salt shaker and puffs up like a blowfish.
Have a great day everyone! ttfn

Still Here!
Whew, I made it through last week reasonably unscathed. The not working out contributed to a "stay the same" at weigh-in. Woot! That was totally fine in my books. Especially considering that I mainly forgot to drink my water most days. Gotta get better at that!
Spent the weekend running around like crazy. Loads of errands, then cleaned the house most of the afternoon yesterday. At least it is clean.
Hubby started his new job Friday night and worked all weekend. He even picked up an extra shift already. He also figures his blood sugar is dramatically back in control after 2 days of working. He's probably right. It is way easier to control them while he is doing physical work. His last job was sitting all day. That alone is a plus.
Better get to work, so ttfn!

Hmmm, what have I done?
I think I may have overdone it. I didn't get out for my jog at lunch yesterday, so I went when I got home. I had some knee twinges after the bike ride on Sunday, but didn't really think much of it. Took Fattdoggg for a walk (about 1k) that also serves as my warmup. Started out - no problemo, just the normal first 10 minutes of my asking myself what I am doing. I managed to carry on, until I had to pee so bad I barely made it to a gas station to pit stop. Whew. After that, I had a bit of difficulty getting myself mentally back into the run.
Then my ankle started to hurt. And it kept on hurting. I adjusted my stride, my shoe, nada. I finally had to stop and walk. I can actually power walk at about the same heart rate as I jog if I really concentrate. Anyway, long story short I had to call hubby to pick me up. I made it about 7.5 k total, but not the 10 I wanted to do. Boo hoo.
So, last night my hip would burn if I laid on it. I think I better take a bit of a rest today, and see if I can get things lined up again. My joints float a bit, and will sometimes slide out of place enough that it hurts. I just have to figure out what is actually causing the issue - knee or hip, or both.
Anyway food was on spot yesterday, and I have a bunch of healthy eats packed to get me through the day.
Sorry to be such a whiner! ttfn

What a Weekend!
Wowza! Went to my WW meeting early Saturday (really early - 7:45) and was down 1! Sweet! I'm so impressed that I didn't eat my way through the stress of last week. Also managed a ton of AP. Yeah!
OK, Saturday was a bad food day, since I had a load of WAP and AP left for the week, so we had a couple of treats Saturday night. Tasty, and I gave in to my chip craving from all week. Hubby was away for the weekend, so it was just the kids and me. Kinda nice for a change.
Hubby is off this week - work didn't need him so he is kinda on vaca since they still have to pay him for the week. New job starts on Friday night.
Still on track today - SK and I went for a bike ride - about 19k - took us about 2 hours. SK finally go to put his new to him bike through its paces. He wants to hit the trail again next weekend if the weather cooperates. My butt may be ready by then.
Plan for the week is Water, Water, Water - I'm still having a bit if an issue with getting my water in, but it will get better. Plan to run MWF this week at lunch. Hope the to do list cooperates!

Ending the Week on an Up Beat!
Well, hubby was offered a job yesterday. Load off our shoulders. He is to go for orientation right after work on his last day at current job. Whew. Hope it works out, as we were looking at a skimpy Xmas for the kids this year. We are both feeling huge relief.
Went for a lunch run yesterday - 7 AP thanks to the huge hills I decided to tackle. You know they are steep when you top out your HRM and you are walking up the hill. No way was I running them. Plan to hit the pavement again today.
Hubby is going away for Sat and Sun, so it will just be me and SK. BK works Sat and Sun, but he may consider to grace us with his presence on Saturday evening since his girlfriend works that night. I hope to get myself motivated enough to give the house a clean and maybe drag the kidlet for a hike.
Anyway, better get to work.
