Good morning ladies!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! I was up at 4:50 this morning as one of my dd's has her drs appt this morning - just a well check with some immunizations. She's not too excited about it.  Then we're going to do grocery shopping when we're done there. It's not the town I normally do shopping but we'll be right there so we're going to get it done. Then it's home to put stuff away and then hit the library. Back home to scrub floors and make pasta salad for our get together with friends tomorrow. THEN I hope to fit in my workout. Wish me luck with getting that in because I'm ALREADY tired and today is W7D2 of the C25K. Here's hoping I can make that long (to me anyway) run. This weekend's a busy one for us. Anyone have plans this weekend?! I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful weekend! ETA: Yep, totally had the wrong date on the title. |

I'm up early today too although not as early as you Brandy! It's supposed to be hot and humid today so I want to go running early. No other big plans today although I should go grocery shopping too but not sure that will happen.
Happy Friday all!
Emelle
just got back from running--it's 91 degrees today (with humidity) and I felt every single degree but I did it!!!

Up and still rainy, humid, icky here. Had my car detailed so it will be staying in the garage. I will drive DD's car if I need to go out. LOL! I am sure the detailing brought out the rain!
We are going out to dinner tonight so eating will be bad. I have planned for it though. And I had an NSV yesterday--I got into my size 8 pants!!! Now, I don't think all of my 8's will fit yet. I think some I will still be in 10s depending on manufacturer but I am in 8's now in some. Yes! I stayed all dressed up until hubby got home yesterday so he could see.
And we found out DD has to go back to Duke next week to see her cardiologist. She is having issues, and we need to get her taken care of before going to school. We pray they figure out something. She is miserable. We are going to try to go shopping afterward in Raleigh and have fun IF they don't hospitalize her. Ugh! I will take a small bag just in case. I have learned that's how this story goes.
Enjoy the day everyone!!!

Today is my wedding anniversary! We are going out tomorrow night so we don't have to rush around since my husband doesn't get home till six and the restaurant we are going to is about 45 minutes away. So tonight we are going to stay in and most likely watch the opening ceremony for the Olympics.
My weight hasn't changed much from my post-Whole30 weigh in (2 weeks ago) and has gone up 1/2 pound, then down 1/2 pound. I think my body is just readjusting to that weight loss and there isn't much I can do except keep up the hard work in the kitchen and working out. I'm still on a primarily dairy free diet and it has had so many good benefits that hasn't made me sad, lol. I haven't been faced with a pizza yet, and when that happens, if it fits into my daily goals, I'll eat the pizza but in measured amounts. I'm lucky that I have a choice!
So I'm staying positive and trying not to miss any workouts till vacation!

iamkristinl16 , I love the cut and the color! The color is especially pretty next to your blue sweater. I have stick straight hair so I know nothing about curl, but I love the length of your hair and had the same pic of that haircut pinned, and I love it on you. Now I'm tempted to cut my hair :-)

Good Friday morning everyone! I've been so lazy this week. I need to kick myself in the behind and get some stuff DONE! I jumped on the scale yesterday and I was down 1 lb...Hopefully that will stick around for tomorrow's WW weigh-in. Happy anniversary mrsp ! It's ours as well. 16 years married...I can barely believe it. We are going out to dinner tonight but I'm a little nervous it will mess up my weigh-in tomorrow. Regardless, it will be nice to have a dinner out just dh and me. Have a great day everyone! |

Today my scale arrives and the truth shall be revealed.
Yesterday I used the treadmill for the first time since June! Only for 20 minutes but that's better than nothing..
Today I'm just doing some work around the house, then both my DS and DD have events at their summer activities I'm supposed to go to for their last day.
Tomorrow we are going to poly our kitchen cabinets doors and put them back on the frames, and then my year and a long (we're slow) kitchen renovation will finally be over! Of course then we move onto our next project, taking the roof (it's plastic panels not shingles and it leaks) off our patio and replacing it. Yay. so excited... not really ha ha ha.
Then next week I don't have to get up and go anywhere so I might be able to get up and exercise again.
Have a good weekend everyone.

mrsp , Happy Anniversary!! Enjoy! iamkristinl16 , it looks amazing but my first thought was more layers around the front. It looks great like it is but I always love a really layered style. Here is what I am getting in two weeks. It's almost like mine now except the one short side. Can't wait for a bit of a change and a bit more spunk. Click photo to enlarge.

Hello!
I got to work this morning and the building behind us was on fire. It's been a rather interesting morning for sure!
I didn't exercise last night like I planned. I got home and DS informed me he was being presented with an award for his volunteer work this summer. He worked 281 hours at Summer Camp. At the award thing they asked him if he wanted to share his thoughts on his summer and my gosh was I proud of him. He grabbed that mic and was so articulate. I was very proud of him last night!
By the time we got home I was starving and didn't eat well. I really hate it when my nights get messed up like that.
Today is my scheduled rest day so I guess I get 2 this week.

The new scale is here and I lost 5.5 lbs compared to my old scale woohoo. Gotta love instant weight loss.
I also walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes (a little more than 2 miles) and supposedly burned 300 calories. Happy Friday.

Hi fitness folks, iamkristinl16 I love it! The color is beautiful, almost like apricot. I love the cut, but I can see that some more layers in the front would look good too. breetheflea Woo hoo! If only I could find it so easy to lose the weight. Maybe I need a new scale? Unfortunately, I'm sure mine is correct. needmysanity Congratulations for you son -- that's an amazing number of hours! I'm so impressed when young people can stand up and speak well. It's a talent that has completely passed me by. I was up early this morning, although not quite as early as brandy327 . I had to leave the house at 6:15 to take my husband and his sailing buddies down to Buzzards Bay. They're sailing his friend's boat up to Freeport, ME. I got back at noon and have been working. I'm going to the gym in a little while to do the walk/run of the day. Have a great weekend everyone! |

TGIF!!!!!!! Brandy hope the run goes great!!!!! You can do it!!!!! Cheering you on!
Our week has been pretty good, busy and preparing for our family vacation. It is our last week of summer here. Weather wise we will still have this for at another 4-6 weeks but schedule wise this week is our last week of summer at home, we will be away next week and he starts school the Monday right after we get back.
I weighed today so I could see a number before leaving town. I must not be too number focused because I couldn't remember if that was what it was last time or if it had gone down. Lol I would have to check my history on here. I was pleased I was down a lb or at least held steady. If I can hold steady over vacation or have just a small gain (2-3) that will be great.
I must get busy packing! Our rental has a W/D so that helps a lot and makes me not have to worry about packing enough.
Have a great weekend everyone!

My eating has been really good today. I want to cheat so badly as today is just awful. I want to scream at someone and that isn't going to help anything. At all. But the thought is there.
I need a couple of stiff drinks when I get home. That will fix things. At least for tonight it will.

Today was just a shit storm all the way around. Not one big thing but many minor occurrences that added up. Day #2 in a row of eating less than stellar. My run, which I'm not even counting as a run, for the first time since starting the program, I didn't even finish. It started with getting up at 4:50, leaving the house at 6:30, after dr's appt, stopped to get the kids a bagel at Panera - ds tried putting the lid on his cup and pressed too hard and he collapsed the cup cracking the side of the cup, and iced coffee sprayed all over him, the floor, the counter. Ugh. Thankfully he doesn't add any sweetener, so it wasn't sticky. And idiots - OMG, they were running amok today. EVERYWHERE. Every single store we had to stop at someone was there being a jerk in some way or another. Hit 3 grocery stores in that town. Came home and unloaded groceries. The kids needed to go to the library so at 11 we headed there. Realized once we got there that they didn't open until noon. UGH. Realized earlier in the day that if I wanted to hit Sam's Club today (which I had no choice because I needed some of the stuff on that list for tomorrow when our friends are coming over and they'll be at our house at noon - not enough time to go in the morning) AND be able to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight, I'd have to go during the day vs. waiting for dh to get home so we could go together. Sam's Club is 45 mins from my house in the opposite direction of where we were grocery shopping. So when the library wasn't open, we headed to Sam's Club. Got what I needed there then stopped at another grocery store (since I couldn't find a few things earlier) and got what I needed there. Back to the library, then home to put away groceries AGAIN. Then I went and put in my pathetic workout. Mopped the kitchen floor. Was in the process of making pasta salad for tomorrow when one dd asked for a few pickles.. She wasn't listening (I'd told her no) and she pulled the jar out of the refrigerator (just bought it today)...she went to put it back into the very full refrigerator and dropped it on the floor and it broke. Dill pickle juice everywhere. On my newly mopped floor - meanwhile, the oven timer is going off because the bacon needed to come out, the stove timer was going because the pasta had to come off and be drained...and there's spilled pickle juice and the jar on the floor in front of the stove. And it was hot and humid today..90 in the house and I was literally dripping sweat.
And I'm just exhausted tonight. I did manage to get everything on my to-do list done for today. And I'm finally starting to cool down after a dip in the pool and the fans pulling in some cooler air from outside. But I haven't had this craptastic of a day in a VERY long time. I'm good for another really long time.
