Good Morning Everyone

I hope all of you are having a great morning and had a great week... I was so nervous to get on the scale yesterday because my eating was'nt so great this week.. and its that time of the month. I missed one day of walking.. and still a 2 pound lose!!!!!

I did hit the gym this week, for 45 minutes, a quick 5 minute warm up on the eliptical then 3 sets of lat pull downs, and the seated row from one to another with no rest in between, then I did the hip abductor and the other one in opposite direction, and the leg press,, again with no rest in between, a body building friend of my husbands told me to do that so I can tone up quickly,, also I did about 3 minutes of planks,, and yesterday I did 10 push ups.. that makes me really happy I could'nt even do 2 of them a few months back.. I just read doing 3 sets of as many as you can daily for one month will tone you in your arms, abs, and thighs.. I am planning to start them this morning and everyday before my walk.. I am also adding some jogging and a little sprinting.. it makes me feel GREAT!!! I did walk the other day with 3 pound dumb bells, which was good, except I had no way to carry my water bottle,, I was way to dry!!! any suggestions on how to do both??????

Also to let everyone know that I am NOT on a DIET!!!! I eat what I want and don't deprive myself, I am just making better choices, and rarely eat any GARBAGE!!!! and NEVER eat after dinner... I do like my charaz, 1 or 2 glasses throughout the week,, thats my dessert. some weeks I have none..I do think that maybe I should be eating more, but afarid to change my eating habits now that I found a way that FINALLY WORKS FOR ME!!!!! I did stop going back for seconds at dinner, and now only take small portions, and 1 piece of meat... and I do STOP as soon as I feel satisfied...

Don't get me wrong because I love picky apps... like cheese and crackers and chips with hummus and all that good kinda of stuff, I am not perfect, and I do eat it on occassion and more than I should, I try not to regret it, just walk an extra mile the next day.. I had a trainer over 2 years ago, that told me you can always have a bad day or 2 just never let your bad days out weigh your good days!!!! FYI with that trainer I did loose 22 pounds, and gained it all back and then some,,, I am thinner,,, yes THINNER (I like that word) now on my own then when I was working with her... I did love her and she was great,, and I would hire her again if she still lived here,,, I know she would be proud of me...

On the last note, I clean houses,,, and a house that I have'nt seen and a while just told me this week, I looked AWESOME!!!! a neighbor asked me if I had lap band surgery????? I was insulted,but, my daughter told me to take it as a compliment, because I am SEXY and she is Jealous.... My husband told me last night I really look GOOD!!!! My small goal is to weigh 163 by september 13th. that will be our yearly pig roast. and we have about 100 people...and the last time I weighed that I was 8 weeks pregnant with my yougest son, who is now 16 years old!!!! WOW!!! its been a long rollar coaster of fad diets, all kind of pills, trainers, and gyms, and treadmills bought from yard sales,, that wind up becoming a cluttered clothes rack... HUH??????? how what is the difference NOW????? that I feel like its just falling off?????

OK sorry to bore you.... I am going for my walk now, and of course push ups... Have a GREAT DAY!!!! and SMILE!!!!! because ONLY YOU COUNT for YOU!!!!!

You've done an awsome job keeping yourself motivated! and as always none of us should be on a diet. Four letter word. We are eating the way we should for the rest of our lives! kudos to you and anyone else who has the gastrointestinal fortitude to make the healthy chioces in food, and not take the'fast' way out!!! congrats to you!!
