167.something

I cant remember what the point was. My morning was rudely interrupted by Hoops, better known as Poops, because that is all he does! Poop, poop, poop, poop, poop! He won't go outside either, no because it is too cold out there, so he goes in his crate instead! Argh! He is so cute but such a handful at the same time. He is putting a damper on my excercise plan when I thought he would be a help! Well he is helping me clean more, not what I want to clean though!

So I am adhering to the WTG plan pretty well, at least I am not going over the amount of food I am supposed to have, I am under, which perhaps is my problem. I store fat because I don't get enough of what I am supposed to have. Who knows...

Well that is all I have to say for now. I have to get back to work, which seems like pleasure compared to what I have to do at home these days! Who knew! And I want to be a Mom someday. Ha!

I'm out...

168.4

Well 169.4, but that was with my pj's on! So I am down a few pounds. Hooray for me! I have been given a meal plan, which is really more like guidelines, from the WTG program I am on. It is based on the amount of calories I am supposed to need and it just tells me how many servings of each food group I am supposed to eat each day. Serving sizes are a lot smaller that most of us realize. Except the vegies, those are huge! Did you know that 1 little cup of pasta is actually 3 servings worth! Just say no to the Olive Garden I guess! It's crazy!

I am going to get an excercise plan at my next visit, which unfortuately is further out than I had hoped so I just set some goals until then. 3 minutes of crunches and other ab work and the elliptical 3x a week for 15-20 minutes. My food goals are to meet at least 5 vegie servings at least 5 times a week and to drink at least 1/2 of my water requirement and to adhere to the plan the best I can everyday! The girls I work with there are great! They are so nice and positive.

I am getting a new piece of excercise equipment tomorrow also. It is called a puppy! Yup I am going to be a mom to a little boy puppy! Yay! I can hardly wait! He is a Boston Terrier and I don't know what I am going to name him yet. Any suggestions?

Isn't he cute!!!

Well I better be getting back to work before my bosses slap me silly :)

Toot-a-loo Caribou!

170 and holding

Although in my head I am saying 133.... I am trying to think positive for a change. I am so used to thinking negative about things, it's no wonder I don't achieve things. My new philosophy on life... believe and you can achieve! Corny I know. I have listened to "The Secret" you know the current craze sweeping across the U.S. and while some of it is questionable I find that it still is a good way to think and be. Nothing good ever came out of being negative so I am going to believe that I can achieve whatever I want and eliminate any doubt and negativity from my thoughts and actions. I will be 133 before next year. I couldn't decide between 130 or 135 so I said 133!

I had my appointment with the WTG program today. (Weigh to go) It was good but somewhat dissapointing. I am all raring to go but today was mostly just informational so I need to go back twice next week. Once for nutrition and once for excercise! I am so glad the program is free! Yay! More money for me!!!

Well it is super sunny out and near 70 and it is 5:20 so I am heading out to enjoy this beautiful glorious day! Thank you God!!

I'm out -

170... hmmmm

How do I go from 173 to 170? So why can't I go from 170 to 167 and then to 164 and so on... I know I can, I have before. I just need to get really focused and serious. Clearly I have not been trying. Well that is not entirely true. I try and don't see any results and then get discouraged. I know it takes time it just seems like it melted off a few years ago, well more like 4 or 5. Funny how it all seems like yesterday in a way.
I was good with my eating yesterday... today well my lunch was small but not healthy... Shamrock shake at McDonald's. Hey they are only around for a limited time. I gotta to get while the getting is good! So I guess by now my 170 is back up to 173....
Well I know I have said this before but I am really, really going to try to keep updating this blog on a regular basis and use it to help me lose weight. I am only hmmm 6 months into it. Call it a warm up phase. I bet if Jimmy B made a bet with me I could lose the weight! That's how I got my license. A simple little bet with Jimmy B! I don't know why but I think it would work...
Well I better get back to work... I'm out. Have a happy weekend!

173 - Awww poop!!

Well, I guess that is what happens when you go on vacation and eat out every night! I am actually starting a new plan next week throught my health insurance. When you measure your BMI and it tells you that you are obese, it's time to do something major and get serious and stick to it! So I am meeting with a doctor, a nutrionist and an exercise planner person. All free through my insurance! Who knew! It's called the "weigh to go" program. I am excited to do it I just hope I am able to follow what the nutrionist tells me to do. Willpower...find it and use it!

So I was in Montreal and Mt. Tremblant over the weekend and I fell in love with Montreal even though it was covered in snow! A huge blizzard hit our only day there! I can not wait to go back in the summer to explore the city some more. Perhaps I'll post a few pictures later. Right now I must get to work!

Au Revoir
