I've Got Some Trim, Fitness Update

DH was able to get some trim put up on one end of the quilt shack. It is really starting to shape up. I had a continuing education class this weekend out of town. DH was managing the kids and didn't have a lot of time to keep the momentum going. You can see DD#1 swinging in the background.

Fitness update is good news this week. Even though I was away I was able to make good choices in food consumption. I didn't exercise over the weekend but did do 30 minutes 5 days this week

Fitness Update.

Today is weigh in day at the office. It was a good day for all involved. I am down a total of 7 lbs! I made it to the gym 4 days last week and only weight trained 1 day but I am not discouraged. I know building lean muscle mass is the way to boost my metabolism. I will make sure to do it tomorrow.

Having you guys check up and encourage me is a big help. I am not alone.I even took advantage of the recommendation for a glass of red wine.

I liked this photo of red wine, but I can't help looking for subliminal advertising in it.

Fitness update

Today was weigh in day at the office. I am sorry to say is was not a joyous day. I was up a few pounds. I am not devastated because I can fluctuate as much as 8 lbs in a week. But The good thing is I was slapped hard enough to make me journal again. I know the problem. Can you say rice pudding and birthday cake? On a positive note I made my goal of weight training 3 days last week and aerobic 5 days thanks to a good game of freeze tag with my youth group on Sunday.


I find goal directed photographs more motivating. Once I had a photo of myself in bathing suit on my bathroom mirror, I learned just not to look at it.

Fitness Update

Fitness update is positive this week. I have lost 1.5 lbs this month. Hey, better than the other way. I made it to the gym 4 times last week. On goal for half hour of cardio a day and half hour of weight training every other day that is good usually I have to break up my routine into two trips to the gym. I just have to get started earlier in the morning.My goal(revised) is at least 5 days of activity. I am having trouble on Fridays. Last week I chaperoned the 7-8th grade dance after work. What fun! I think I will be invited back (by my son). I will have to do something about that music! The kids did it. Anybody know about techno?.. Headache.

Here is my inspirational photo for the day. Oh to have a stomach to show off. No that is not me(yet):)
