Praise God, Hallelujah, Thank you scales!!! I was at 141.1 today. I have to say I was a little worried after our trip that it would not come back off right away. I am up a little, but still hovering in the same weight area. It will be time to get SERIOUS on September 1st!
Goals:
1. Journal my food every day. Pay attention and be totally honest with myself.
2. Add resistance training to my workouts. I love Zumba and will continue to do that 3 days a week, but I can certainly add some resistance work in too. I would love to have a defined bicep:)
3. Walk or ride my bike at least 3 times a week. My poor bike is desperate for some attention. I have never explored my neighborhood by foot or bike. It is time, I have lived her 11 years!
4. Be thankful every day for all that I have and all that the future holds.
It appears that my husband just may be put back out on medical disability through Wrigley. Finally after consulting his personal physician and his original spine Dr. they are listening. He has a final meeting today (a Saturday??? Weird) with an independent physician so they can try and close the workmen's comp case with the state. If they had just taken the states advice in the first place and given him more time to heal and build core strength, he would be so much better. Instead it is getting progressively worse. I think that is another reason I want to start resistance training again, I know how quickly our physical strength can disappear. My husband is very lean, eats healthy, has always worked out every morning for at least 45 minutes, and he is not the same guy that he was just 1 1/2 years ago. He is still lean and healthy, but the persistent back issues would make a sane person crazy! Then you add having a wife like me and oh my gosh!!! I am a little high maintenance, I'm not going to lie:)
Have a great Saturday everyone! Blessings to my friends on the East Coast!!
Good news about the scale Kay. I am reading your goals with interest because I feel the same way. I know that I am not losing the way I should be because I need to be strict and follow the plan more carefully. Hope all works out with your husband. Has he had any interventional pain managment procedures for his pain? That is what my husband does and many of our patients get wonderful results. Just wondering. Oh, and I can't imagine you are high maintainence!
ReplyDeleteHello from one haigh maitainance girlfriend to another!!! lol! Its ok Kay. Our hubbies knew what they were getting into when they married us. at least mine did...I made my demands crystal clear! lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy dancin for you on the 141!!! Woo hoo!! My date with the scale at WW was less than stellar but I was still down, even though it was only 1/2#. (sigh) I need to buckle down too & get my head on straight & screwed on TIGHT!! I need to bust through these freakin 180s!!!
Hope Hubby is feeling better.
Have a great weekend!
Woo Hoo about the weight! All your goals that you have set sound great. I hope your husband feels better soon. I remember the back pain that I used to have, and it was horrible. But not any more :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :-)
Great job Kay!!!! I sure hope your husband gets his stuff settled soon - nothing worse than being 'in limbo' with that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteLove your goals, too! Journaling honestly is always my best best best way to stay on track.
Thank you for the advice- I think I just am not really trying to lose these last few pounds - I get tired of restricting myself. I really want to get 'skinny' but I'm also not sure if I can maintain it or not. Mostly it's time to start learning how to maintain what I've got so far for the rest of my life. Working on that. :)
I'd file away the cookies away for a time when you need them. I usually keep them for when the rest of the family is chowing down on some big old costco chocolate chips. I can't even think about eating those anymore!
Congrats Kay that is so awesome!!! This has been a hard two wks for me, with the kids back in school and the husband traveling. So your success and is real inspiration for me!
