Health & Fitness Thread - 5/27

Brandy, glad you were able to make great food choices! How is your hubby feeling? I hope he didn't have strep and feels better!

We have a couple of appointments today but will be home for meals so that is good. Now to figure out what to have for dinner. That is the question.

Have a great day girls!

Oh that is funny that you had to look to know he doesn't have it. Guys are always SO funny and think the worst of things. But sorry he feels rough. Hopefully he will get over this allergy mess quickly. Flonase is one of our best friends.

Ds had a game last night. It ran late, so after I ran my 4 miles. I live in the country with nowhere to run, so I run in random neighborhoods. Last night the neighborhood I picked was just so peaceful.

When I got home ds  had showered, but was complaining of a headache. I took his temp because he felt warm. 104.5! Yikes! I had picked up his friend to spend the night, so dh took him home.

Hopefully I can get him in to be seen today. This morning he is still at 102.9 with meds on board.

We had planned a fun outing downtown to meet dh at the food trucks for lunch. Not now. I think I will start cleaning the logs in the den and repainting the chink. We live in a log cabin and I slowly want to do this to all the log walls this summer. It will really lighten the place up quite a bit. I am excited to get started, but also feel a little overwhelmed by it as well.

Have a good one ladies!

Morning!!

I worked on orders until 10:30 last night.....that's what I get for taking too many orders during a week I lost a full day for a photo shoot! It will be another long one tonight as well I'm sure. But the paycheque at the end of tomorrow will be worth it!

Eating was well on track yesterday. I do so well when I'm at home and not needing to be out anywhere. Sunday will be a challenge - I'm off to a cookie class and lunch is provided. I'll do my best to eat what I can, and bring along a few things for myself just in case.

have a great day all!

so psyched to hear everyone's good news! I am doing really well and this morning, I took my new minimalist "barefoot" shoes out for a run. I know I am quite a few years late to the barefoot running party but OMG-I had the best run I have had in a very long time. I was only going to do 2 miles, but it felt so good, I did 4! I am in love with this and feel like I am finally going to be able to progress in my running. food has been going pretty well also. looking forward to the long weekend, hope everyone has good weather and a good time!

Lots of good news shares today. My good news is that I'm officially began my summer vacation at 2:31 this afternoon. Well, I do have 3 days of post planning next week, but I really don't mind those.

Just came home from the store loaded down with good foods. I'm getting back to making smoothies at night. I use plain fat free yogurt, almond milk, spinach, a banana and what ever fruit is on hand. It's surprisingly filling.

With all the great endorsements of BBM, I'm beginning that tomorrow. I can just jump in right? I know I'll be off sequence.

Thank the dear Lord today is not only Friday, but the beginning of a long week-end and a pay day! I'm so flippin' tired!

Went to a retirement party last night and tried to be good about my selections and entered them into my WW app. Holy smokes! My DINNER came out to 30 Smart Points! OUCH!It was good, but not THAT good! Thankfully I had my weekly points to "save" me, but man! That sucked because I did make good choices.

I'm thinking I'll be up at my weigh-in tomorrow. I'm kinda bummed, but I'll live. I jumped on the scale Wednesday and Thursday and saw gains and unless something magical happens before tomorrow, I'll be up. It will be fine...I'm PMSing--and it'll be a week before the bloat goes away as it will arrive by next Fri/Sat.

So I know logically that the gain is likely bloat/water, it can still mess with my head! I'm trying to just focus on my eating and exercise and not worry too much about the number, but I'm >this close< to getting 20lbs down it's kinda bugging me to tell the truth.

Took the boys to get their first ice cream cone of the season. I had a lick from each of their cones and MAN! Was it ever crazy sweet! Now I'm waiting for it to be a little cooler this evening before I go on my walk so I don't die...last week we barely hit 60 degrees...today, it's 95 degrees. Crazy!

Did four 15 minute walks yesterday at work

And I went to the new/different dog trainer. She was so much different but really good! Didn't do as many full ring runs, but she had me running back and forth a lot because I wasn't doing it correctly   So worked up another light sweat which was good. She is much tougher then the other trainer. The other trainer is very nice and fluffy, but I felt I got more information and knowledge in just the first 5-10 minutes with this new trainer than with the other one. So even though it's really hard to hear tough criticism at 8 pm after a long day at work, I'm going to have to go with the tougher trainer if I want to learn all I can - ugh, why do I do this to myself 

I'm hoping to walk a bit this weekend since we don't go away for the holiday. Everyone else goes camping so we stay home instead of fighting the traffic and crowds. So I'll wander around the neighborhood and maybe even try Cto5K
