Monday has arrived. It is a welcomed here as I do not return to work till Thursday night~ Yippie!
I took my hubby to the doctor this morning. He has been having some shoulder pain, most likely work related. They gave him a steroid shot, the dose pack and anti-inflammatory. He works at UPS and he wears a scanner on his right arm that has strained his shoulder. The doctor gave him a note for "no scanner" for a week. I hope he feels better. So, yes friends on Saturday when canoeing I did most of the "man power" work as he was feeling the pain! Alright with me, there was a time in life I could not of done that and look at all the "little fatties" I burned in doing so.
We are going into town today to exchange some clothes that my hubby was given on his birthday, but not till after I finish my lunch. I will not go and be surrounded by good smells hungry! Tonight I am going to the gym about 5pm, I did not make it on Saturday or Sunday. Saturday I did lots of outside exercise activities and Sunday is a off day, as I do a lot with the church. My personal trainer gave sent me a text asking me how things were going~I thought that was nice! I told her I was headed to the gym today and I was going to do our routine, including the leg lunges that I despised on Friday. I figure it I hate it, and I feel it, then it is just what I need. lol
Hope everyone is enjoying their day, making good Monday choices to start the week off right. OH, YES it is DAY ONE of Wayne's Challenge, so lets kick it up and lose 10 pounds of "little fatties" by Thanksgiving!!
Love and Gods blessings to all~

Well yesterday was the best day I have had in a long time. The drive to the state park was about 2 hours but well worth the time. My hubby and I canoed and rode our bikes. There was 7 miles of paved bike trails. We saw alligators, bald eagle, deers, wood peckers and a very friendly squirrel that we shared our lunch with. A healthy lunch enjoying nature and each others company. There was an October fest celebration that visited and could still hear music as we rested in the bed of our truck after our bike ride, talking and sharing dreams. It was so awesome to be active and not be out of breath that you could not talk. It was the most fun, romantic day I have had with my husband in a long time. On our way home he wanted to stop at this bar-b-q spot that caught his eye on our way up. I indulged on a couple of ribs and green beans. Passed up the bread. The meal did not cause me a set back by any means and my hubby was happy to have something he loves. It was the least I could do, after all his supportive trips to Subway with me. We then arrived home, showered and watch some TV together before bed. I truly am blessed~
Tonight is my women's group at church and it is my turn to bring food. I love this because I am in charge of what is placed in front of me tonight. Sunday's are usually difficult to plan for because I never know what we are having and as most of you know, I am a planner~
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend~I carry you with me in thought and prayer~
Hugs~Phyllis

I have good news. There are computers in heaven. Yep, cuz I died today at the gym and I sit here typing to you now. ;) My personal trainer finds muscles that I did not even know exists. All kidding aside, it is a great feeling. After our 30 minute workout, I went on to do another 30 minutes of core and off to the treadmill for 30 minutes of cardio. I ate two egg whites just now. She mentioned what all my FS friends told me, PROTEIN! That is the key to recovery. Her name is Erin and she gave me her cell phone number today and she took mine. She said that she is going to text me recipes and messages to keep me motivated. She also told me to call her anytime I have a questions (night or day). How great it that? She said "If your going to Olive Garden and you want to know what to eat, call me." I think we will become great friends. I feel as though God blessed me with someone who really cares. This just has all the signs that this is my time to do it! When I signed on, I thought to myself, this is my life now, I am in this for the long haul and signed on the line for a year! Forward march!
It is getting easier too to be at the gym. I don't feel as self conscious. Funny thing is, these muscle men spend more time walking around and flexing in the mirror, talking to chicks for the hours they are at the gym then actually sweating. I make them look shameful, dripping in sweat, working and pushing myself. lol
Hope everyone is having a great FRIDAY~ I love weekends off to do things with my hubby! Keep up the good choices, move those feet and reach for the stars.
Hugs~

Last night at the gym was a struggle. Four hours of sleep did not make for a easy work out. I ended up doing 20 minutes on the elliptical to warm up, followed by core and arm workouts. I did not do my 30 minute cardio that I usually end with as my body was screaming at me the whole time. I felt exhausted. I did tell myself that I had my bike ride home that morning from work, so I cashed in on that as my days cardio and headed home.
I called the Dentist this morning and they can not glue my temporary crown back in till Monday. I thought that was kind of crazy but then I thought that I refused to call yesterday because I wanted to go to sleep and go to the gym when I woke up. I was to afraid that if I called they would give me a time that would of prevented me from being able to make it to the gym. I guess if I decided to wait it was okay, when they made me wait I was disgusted. lol I will manage till Monday.
Not sure what my plans are today except my 4pm personal trainer appointment. I think I will get some house cleaning, laundry and shopping done. My husband and I are planning a trip to the state park tomorrow. We are loading the bikes in the truck for some biking trails and canoeing. We are making a day of it but packing our lunch. That way I have all my healthy foods!!
I hope everyone enjoys their day~

I broke down! I will admit it, I am weak when it comes to that damn scale. Wait, did I say damn scale? How rude of me to talk about that sweet, little weighing machine that is so kind to me. Yes, folks I said KIND. Seems as though the weeks hard work has paid off. I said Hello, to the 250's today. I skipped, hoorayed and sang a song of happiness. Not only was it great to see that darling machine move, it put me into the next bracken of the 200's as we move down.
When I joined this site I put my starting weight as 284. I was out of town in Michigan visiting my family and my sister-in-law told me about FS. She was starting a new diet and she really loved the FS site. So I downloaded it. To be able to see what it was all about, I had to enter height, weight and so on....I guessed at my weight. I was never one to weigh because I was afraid to know exactly how big I had become. We can rationalize things when we don't know the truth. I had been to the doctor in July and they had weighed me. I could not remember the wwightt, but looking back, I think I blocked it out of my head. When I arrived home in Florida, my SIL had me pumped up to also seek a "healthier me" and get what we call a "sexier body" for our cruise coming up in March.
I went to the doctor the end of September and she was in awe at my weight. She talked to me in length about my diet, vitamins and exercise and was so supportive that she told me to come back monthly just to get an official recorded weight. She is so sweet and wants to be supportive and give me some additional accountability. I then asked her "When I was here in July what did I weigh?" She told me 294. I was shocked and I can only think that being so close to 300 made me mentally block it out.
So today I really sit at my computer 35 pounds down in 3 months. That is pretty darn amazing when you look at the big picture. I am no longer short of breath, I have the energy of a rock star and my life has changed so much because of my new healthy lifestyle changes. My son and husband are so happy to have a energetic, happy motivated person back. I have so many people who love me, that always had sad looks on their face (because they knew I was eating myself to death) Now they are laughing and smiling with me.
So many coworkers keep telling me how great I look. I keep saying, I look better but not great. I have to far to go to feel like where I am at is acceptable.
Sorry about the long journal~it does the soul good to remember where we came from. It felt good to write this and feels even better to live it.
I hope everyone is having a great day filled with great choices. Stay focused on the big picture. Now take a deep breath, smile and give thanks we are healthy and alive with determination!
