Up Early Again

Well today was a little different than normal. Hubby's alarm went off at what I thought was 6:50. I was bummed because my alarm hadn't gone off. Dimples got right out of bed and headed for the shower. Hubby came back to bed about 10 minutes later and said, "Well, It's actually 6:00 now instead of 7:00." So, when my alarm went off at 6:30, I was able to just jump (okay maybe not exactly jump) out of bed to get down to the family room for my morning Wii Fit weigh in and work out. I was exactly the same as yesterday, and I am sure it is because of my lack of fruit and normal meals as I was on the road almost all day.

Today is a day of school work. Have a good one!

One Tired Girl!

That is what I am! I feel like I could fall asleep right this minute and it is only 6:05! I still have at least 2 1/2 hours before my day is done!

Well I took the girl home today. I wish so much that I could keep her, but that isn't the plan right now, so I will spend as much time with her as her mother allows. She stayed with me at work today and was as funny and sweet as can be. We then drove through lake effect snows to get her home, and then back again. I got home and Hubby and kiddos are at my in-laws' house. When they get home, we will head to evening church and then call it a weekend.

I have made it a point every morning to work out for at least 25 minutes on the Wii. This morning, I only did 15 because I was so confused by the 3.5 lb loss that I had to mess with it for a while. Anyway, I like that I am getting that exercise in first thing. Then if I get no more than that, I know that I had a good start to the day.

Hopefully, there will be less of me tomorrow!

G'night!

Down Again!

The first time I got on the scale, the Wii Fit said I had lost 3.5 lbs! I knew that couldn't be possible! I ate okay, but I did have cake. As I was working out, one of the feet scooted out from under the board. I knew it! So I reweighed and ended up with a -.5!

Now I'm at a new low! WOOT! Off to work and to take my precious Ice Blue Eyes home. Have a good one!

Back To My Lowest!

In a very long time! I got on the scale today and I am 162.7, which is my lowest number since 2002! Now I can tell I am on a downward trend. I started my day again today doing 25 minutes worth of exercise, and I will fit in exercise throughout the day, just like I did yesterday. I will have at least four servings of fruit, just like I did yesterday. AND I will drink plenty of water, just like I did yesterday.

Today for the party, I am going to make a vegetable soup sans tomatoes (so that my BFF and MIL can partake), a mushroom pasta, and cake. I am looking forward to the party today. I love my little niece and it breaks my heart when I take her back home every time, but it is the reality, so I just make the best of our visits. I cherish each visit knowing that it could be the last, but hoping that someday, I will get to keep her forever! I can dream, right?

I haven't posted about my beloved dog lately. Can I just say that I adore him? He is still a big goofy lab. We haven't gone on many walks lately because of the bitter cold and my mean cold that I had earlier in the week. Anyway, I better get going! Have a good one, and I will do the same!

4-5 Servings of Fruit, But NO MORE THAN 5

I have learned my lesson from the week I was trying to win the challenge, that really wasn't a contest, but I made it one (bad choice). I am back to eating 4-5 servings of fruit again, but I will not go over 5! If I ever decide to go over that amount, I will change the name of the fruit challenge to "Colon Blow!"

Anyway, I went to the store yesterday and bought a bunch of fresh fruit. I had to go back to the store and return 2 of the 3 coconuts and 3 avocados because they were bad. It really surprised me because I have never had bad produce from Meijer before. Anyway, they were very gracious in giving me my money back. Unfortunately, the only avocados they had left won't be ripe until spring.

I am having a birthday party tomorrow for Ice Blue Eyes before I have to take her home on Sunday. She is so excited about the party though! I will be making my famous vegan chocolate cake tomorrow morning. We cleaned the house tonight so there will be little to do in the morning before the big party! WOOT!

Hot 100 Update 12/3/2010

1. I will remember to take my supplements every single night. Success!

2. When I feel I need ibuprofen, I will take 1 instead of 2. - SUCCESS!

3. I will purposefully exercise every day. It's getting better! I started today by doing 24 minutes on the Wii. I will try to do more later. I am letting this cold and crummy weather get me down.

I weighed in this morning at exactly the same as last week. I have really got to get myself on the stick!

After two nights of Hanukkah, the kids have gotten vegan chocolate bars (which they LOVED) and coconuts. How fun is that?

Have a good day!

The Kitchen is Closed

Says Ice Blue Eyes tonight while she is eating her green beans. She had like four bowls of green beans yesterday! Anyway, it was 8:30, and Ice Blue Eyes says, "The kitchen is closed" while my boys are looking for food as a way to avoid bedtime and she is eating her green beans.

Today we are going grocery shopping. We have been out of fresh fruit for a couple of days and I am jones'n for some kiwi! The boys each want a coconut for Hanukkah. So I will be picking up kiwi fruit, oranges and coconut.

Hubby is not feeling well today, so the world must stop to care for him. Poor poor baby! Of course, he has it worse than I did. He is a man, after all.
