100% nice out

Ok so activity has been lacking today, however it is sunny and warm and i relaxed, also didn't do so well yesterday but hey it's the weekend and i still feel good about myself which is the important part in the long run, Dean is out there washing the car, and i got alot of sun so am indoors for now cooling off, I have a feeling my chest is burnt. I also was in shorts which is a change becuase i am usually to uncomfortable in them. So I think friends are comming for a BBQ and to chill which should be fun. Tommorw we have a bike ride planned and i am excited about that. I am going to aim for 6K. I love biking so much better than running. I would however like to go for a walk maybe this eveing just to get some activity in, we will see what the night brings!

feeling better, wedding stress is starting though

Well I said we bought bikes and I am way more a biker then I am a runner. We went for a nice 5K ride and it was nice, and I can say I had fun. Unlike running where I didn't have fun. I can say I am getting more energy back, I have started eating healthy again and am excited to do so, I am also trying to exersize more often, so hopefully it will all work out well.

As for the wedding, well i am starting to feel some anxiety which is to be excpected i guess, but it's still stressful, we are printing out our invites today and that was a bit stressfull, with them not working properly and what not. But its getting done. My Wedding dress is in and that is very exciting, so now i just need to go try it on and see how it fits, and then work my way into making it look better!

Low Iron and B12????

Ok so about a month ago I went to the Doctor, got some bloodwork done and today finally had my follow up appointment with her. Come to fine out my Iron is about 50% less then it should be and my B12 is about 7 pts lower then it should be. So now I have to got on supplements to increase them. So I will go on supplements for now but am going to track my food again and make a huge effort to increase my intake of these vitamins.

Also I will track my food again. We have moved and I haven't tracked a thing in like probably 2 months. It may be rough but I need to do this again and lose this weight. I have a wedding coming up and am so not impressed with my weight loss, or weight maintenance is more like it.

Me and Dean bought some bikes and are looking forward to doing some biking across our area. My only fear is that my knees don't bother me too much, but I definitely think this will be better than the running since that isn't working at all.

So here is luck to me about all this new crap.

It's been a while

Ok so It's been a long time since i posted and now i feel like i am stuck and not moving, so.... Everything is different but the same, and I am still feeling too big, that said I am happy. Happier then i have been in a while, I am going to try to go for a run today and hopefully will do ok, I'll do 5 - 6 K in walking and running and hope i will run more than walk, It's not very long now till my marathon and I havn't done any training, so now i will start. and no other way then outside where it will all take place. Well that's it for now,

Getting closer to a goal!

Well I am very happy. I weighed in yesterday and was 175.5. Even after I had my brunch at work and had enough salt to feed the ocean. So yesterday I treated for the most part as a treat day. And I enjoyed it.

We also went and talked to our wedding coordinator at the Holiday Inn and I now feel like I am not falling behind on the wedding stuff.

So I am back at it today, had toast and egg and some cheese for breakfast and we are going to do 30 Day Shred after I digest a little. Then it's off to mom's to hopefully fix her PC.

today was better

Ok so, today was much better. I was prepared for the day, I embraced it. I worked and the day went very well. I then Went to the gym, which was very rewarding even though my heels and calfs are suffering now. Dean made an interesting supper with chili and salsa and pasta, and now we will relax. No complaints here today!

Mental Health Day

Ok so haven't blog ed all week, but have done fairly well, Only went over cals one day and that was because I didn't know how much I was eating before I ate it (lesson learned). So the week was full of ups and downs, again. I can't seem to shake this stupid depression/low mood, crap. It stormed last night, and the roads weren't bad this morning but i didn't sleep well at all (3 hours tops) so my mind was so racing. I thought off all kinda of stuff and most of it was stupid and me just worrying about nothing. So I stayed home, call it a mental health day. I am going to look into moving companies and e-mail my wedding consultant back with times to meet. I need to start feeling like some of this is really happening and get out of my routine of being blah! Might go to the gym today to run, I did go the other day but almost died from still being not 100%, Dean is sick and we are just full of cranky's. Well that's it for the update now.

A New Monday

Well today is a new day, and it was a good day. I did spark people today instead of ww, and that has been a bit frustrating, but i like the fact that i can monitor more with spark. I only gained .5 of a lb which made me happy. I am not in the best mood right now (totally TOM) but i am trying, i dunno my brain is all frazzled.

A week!

well it's been a week since i posted, not much has changed, I am still sick, But definitly on the mend now. I WI tommrow and I am sure I will be up, I didn't really track anything this week. But tommoor is a new day and a new week and I am back on the wagon.

I really think I needed the week off, And it's not that I ate totally unhealthy, I just didn't limit myself, and got no exersize in, but i missed not working out and I missed getting all my water. So I'll be back to blogging tommrow and it should be a good week!

Sick weekend, happy WI

Ok so I posted Thursday, and I went to work Friday, nothing much to report, wasn't feeling great but I was ok.

Saturday I went to work and got sent home, I was ill and at work they had the flu so better to avoid spreading it. I got home around 10 and Dean was still at home. I didn't do to much, ate a bit, and slept and rested.

Yesterday Dean was determine to make me better so he made me eat a full breakfast, which was rough to get through, and to go for a walk. But that didn't last long as the sidewalks in our area are very poorly cleared and were slush. Once we got home friends of ours asked if we wanted to go swimming. I thought it was a great idea and dean conquered his fear of the changing room, lol. We swam for about 30 mins, I wasn't pushing myself but it felt good to do. Then we went to Starbucks for some coffee and catch up time. Then went to a movie, it was pretty good. And to supper at Moxie's, a new place here in Hali. The food was pretty good and reasonable priced. I will definitely go back. Then home to bed for us.

This morning was my WI, and I lost! 2.5 lbs! And we did our measurements and I lost 6.5 inches in a month, which I am very happy with! So now I am re motivated and hope to make it a good week and try to get most of my exercise in and my second week running!

rant, and update.

Ok so yesterday was a good day. Didn't the the shred in so will be doing it today. I made pork chops for supper that turned out good and we went to a movie, which as ok.

Today has been not the greatest. It was pay day(yay) but other than that I am in a mood again, which i am trying to shake. So I drove Dean to work, and stayed up as it was 830. I chilled and read for a bit. While I was reading the land lord was outside vacuuming and knocks on the door. He wanted to tell me that Deans boots from work make the carpet outside dirty and maybe I can mention it too him. I am thinking what? Isn't his job to clean the carpets. It is not Deans job to remove his shoes at the elevator. And yea ok it's from our apartment but still. I was soooo tickted. And to add on top of it the fact that they screwed our rent up this month! gah, I am so glad we are moving soon.

So anyway I went to the gym, and I do feel better, alot less angry and a little happier. Tonight I am making soup for supper and hoping it will be enough, then we will do the shred tonight, so i will be so sleepy. and then it's off to work the weekend tomorrow, which is ok, I am going to try to be positive!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Ready to be out!

Ok so I Posted Saturday. And here's what's happened.

Sunday we had to go to brunch with the family, which was more like lunch, I had soup and a wrap and was very good. Tried a few things around but nothing worth mentioning. The food was good but overly priced. The company well some are nuts and make blatant favorites which annoyed me. So back home and we relaxed had a awesome supper dean thought up with chicken and salad and salsa, was very delish. Then more relaxing as we both had to work the next day.

Monday I worked, and I felt the day was very productive and I made myself in a better mood than I had been. I also weighed in and was up 1 lb. But am OK with that, I am trying harder this week and have committed myself to working out 6 days a week, or at least 6 times. I will run for 3 days and do the 30 Day Shred for the rest. So Monday I had also went to the gym and ran, and it felt good. Supper was rice and shrimp and it was tasty as well. We just watched some TV and was in bed by 930.

Yesterday (Tuesday). I also worked, and it was a long day. I went out to an appointment with a Res. and we had a long wait. Plus we were having a snow storm and it was a little stressful. But I am so glad I went because he did very good at his test and I think I gained some respect from some of the staff. So once I got back to work it was just about time to go home, The roads weren't the best but I made it safely. When I got home Dean wasn't in the best of moods, he had been home all day and didn't feel like he had been productive. So we got a little mad at each other and worked it out. Then we had supper which was chicken and mashed potatoes and veggies, very tasty. The biggest Loser was on last night so we watched that and then went to bed.

Today I was up at 530 to drive dean to work, and thankfully the roads were not that bad. Then I went back to bed until 9, which i needed. I haven't really done much since, but will be getting dressed and cleaning up a bit in here soon. Then just going to relax and enjoy my day off. When dean gets home we will do the Shred again, and relax this evening.

Snow on Saturday

Ok so I didn't post yesterday. So I will update everyone on my lazy day!

Yesterday Dean worked at 6 so I was up and drove him to work. Then went back to sleep until about 830 when I woke up from the weirdest dream/nightmare. Needless to say it didn't make alot of sense. I would look it up in my Dream Dictionary but I don't think it would help. So I was suppose to clean the floors and the Dining room yesterday but I was so sore from the 30 day shred we did on Thursday that I didn't have it in me. So I tidyed up a bit and then read my book, Eclipse, which was amazing, I finished it and Loved it!. Dean was off at 3 so I went and picked him up. We were going to do the shred again, but didn't have it in us, and I was in a really down mood. Which seems to happen the days I am off and alone. So I had a shower and then we made supper. Fish cakes and Fries, with some aspargus and califower. We then settled in and had a few (3) drinks and watched most of smackdown before we were ready for bed.

Today we slept in till 9! I got up and just relaxed some more while Dean had his shower. Then we had breakfast, I got so mad that he makes a better healthier breakfast then I do every time. It is just that I am so used to eating one simple thing, that I dont' think to add fruit or berries or such. So after that we did the shred today, It was brutal. But we made it through and were sweating like pigs when we were done. We were suppose to clean today, and we had alot left, but I just didn't feel like it, and neither did Dean so we just realxed, chilled with the Xbox. For lunch we had Knorr Yellow soup, which wasn't too bad, I did like the orange one better though. Then it was off to drive dean to work.

So now i am alone for the rest of the eveing and might sit and watch some movies, or maybe some tv. Not sure yet.

Have a good Weekend everyone!

"sick" thursday

Ok so this morning was icy, really icy, and I didn't feel like going to work, So I stayed home.

We cleaned and relaxed, then I decided to look up 30 Shred and we found it so we went to chapters and bought it. We got home and I had salad with tuna for lunch and then we went and did the 30 Day Shred, which kicked my ass!!!! I was full of sweat, I was shaking from every were, but I felt awesome when I was done. We relaxed a bit more, not really doing anything too much and then made Tomato soup from scratch. It was suppose to be for supper but I could tell by looking that it wasn't going to be enough, and I still had mega points left. So we went to McDonald's, which is full of salt but was well worth it. We were gonna go out to a restaurant for supper but when I was figuring out the point value for the places we wanted to go all the meals I thought were healthy were like 29 pts, totally disgusting, so I learned that it's better to go to Fast food.

Tonight Hell's Kitchen premiers and I think we will just relax and watch some TV.

not enough sleep,

So yesterday I ate too much, I was already over my points when I got back from mom's but I ate frozen yogurt and some Dark Chocolate... What was I thinking! Oh well it's logged and now I am moving on.

So I didn't really get to sleep until 1:00 Last night since i had to pick up dean from work, so I went to work this morning on 4 and a bit hours of sleep. Being sleepy and still not digging work all that much made the day difficult. And it's not just me, the whole floor is like that, we are tired, burnt out and ready to leave! So I did have a good day food wise though and am full. Only problem is we don't have anything for supper so it's could be going out, or take out. Well that's about it, gonna have a nap before I go get Dean.

Finally a loss to be happy with

Ok so havn't wrote since saturday, which went well and sunday I worked but it wasn't sooo bad, then dean Made a really good soup which i have leftovers for tommrow's lunch. And Sunday we didn't really do a hole lot, watched some TV then went to bed. Monday I was down 3 lbs!!! I was so happy. I've finally made it to the 170's! So yesterday I tidy'd and then picked dean up at 230, we exersized I was dying I found it so hard! So anyway we did that and I tried to bread fish for supper which turned out ok. Then we had a few drinks to celebrate.

Today we just relaxed and went to lunch at Smitty's and I had to go visit my Papa at the hospital, he's looking better! I went to mom's for supper and now am back home relaxing, tommrow it's back to work, and hopefully the gym

Keep active!

what's happened to me?1

Well I've been a bit away lately. Last you heard from me I was making chicken in the crock pot on Thursday, it is now Saturday.

Well the crock pot chicken turned out lovely, and made even better leftovers Friday. But Thursday we didn't do too much else, a little bit of exercise and we watched some movies.

Yesterday I had work, ugh, anyway Dean was off at 3 as well and we had to go grocery shopping. Which wasn't too bad, we made out list and stuck to it for the most part. We were 6 dollars over our budget but we got lots of healthy new food, including stuff for some soup recipes I want to try. Then we went out to Boston Pizza where I didn't do too bad, the appetizer is what did it. But I know for next time. Once we were back home Dean made me my lunch for today while i got my stuff ready then we sat down to watch SmackDown, but didn't make it far into it because I fell asleep and Dean was pretty tired too.

Today has been icky, I don't know what it is about work but I can't seem to stand it, and I got bad news about my grandfather so it was a mixed up day. So I got home and had a shower and will laze around until bed time. Then it's back to work again tomorrow...

for yesterday...

so yesterday i didn't get a chance to blog, completely not in the mood/stressed and was talking with dean most of the evening. So Yesterday we got up and had some breakfast, i had a English muffin with PB and an apple. Then we cleaned up a bit but i was in a completely rotten mood. So instead of finishing cleaning, and doing the laundry dean got me to go out and we went to the mall and has some yummy lunch from Tim Horton's, which wasn't that bad for points (7). Then we headed back home and i was in a better mood, we didn't really do anything cleaning wise, and around 3 we headed out to mom's for supper. After some yummy turkey breast and roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, we came back home and i was in a completely fowl mood. I wanted to go out and do something but didn't know what and didn't really want to. I was just cranky, so me and Dean had a big talk about what's wrong with me and all that stuff and while i don't really know how useful it was i do feel better today.

So this morning I will be finishing up the cleaning and using my crock pot for supper and maybe going to the gym. I should go but i don't know if i am up for it, i am still very sleepy and kinda stiff. We shall see!

A mixed up day.

So today i stayed home from work, I have been in a funk and i think i am finally getting out of it. So last night which we were gonna have a few drinks ended up being 2 and we went to bed by 10. So this morning we were up around 830, we lazed around and had some breakfast, i had some cereal with milk and a kiwi. Then we started cleaning around 10. I cleaned the living room and hunny cleaned the kitchen. Then for lunch we had grilled cheese and tomato soup, and it filled my belly. Then out for a few errands, we bought a blender and some had weights for when we work out at home. And to future shop to pick up a few movies. Then back home where i had a cat nap and felt icky. Dean had to work at 330 and i was gonna go to the gym, so we got ready and i drove him to work. At the gym i started my run but after 15/30 mins i was not into it at all, my legs hurt and i was way to tired. So i came home and ate a little too much dark chocolate, and felt like eating everything, so i wrote on the ww board and looked around the net a bit, and got alot of advice from the ladies on the board. and then cooked some pasta and a salad. Now I am full and still have a few points left for a small snack later, tomorrow Dean is off with me so we are going to clean a bit and then go to mom's for supper, so i will save some points for that because she usually makes high pt suppers. Hope everyone is having a good day!

a very bad day at work

OK so today was a day, not a good one, So we had a nice slush storm and Dean had to do inventory this morning, so at 430 we headed out, me in my work gear cuz the roads were a mess. And once at Wendy's i stayed there until 6 when I went to work. And i was alone, which really was not fun, and we were short staffed and i was just miserable. so i picked dean up and we exercised and had a yummy supper of pork chops and couscous, which i had never dried before. then i had a shower and we are now sitting having a few drinks, which i probably shouldn't be having but they are helping me relax, and i may not go to work tomorrow. so that is me. and my weight in was the same as last week, oh yay...
