Gorgeous day here! Had an AWESOME Water Aerobics workout this morning! The instructor said she knew we were going to be eating BBQ today so "let's kill those calories now"! :-) She said, "
Ahhhhh
...you're gonna feel this tomorrow". I was thinking...I feel it
Now
! lol
After I came home, I did my 10min Ab Sculpt. It's Really good! It's by 'The Firm'. It promises "visible results in just 10 workouts". Hmmmm, we'll see. I'm going to remain faithful to doing it. Took my measurements yesterday so that I can do an official comparison, but I'm also going to look for those "visible" results! :-) 10mins of Ab work is a
loooong
time! This had better work! lol
Next, I went out and swept around the pool. Had plans to visit my sister and her family today, but those plans had to be postponed. :-(
But, it's okay! Since we're going to be at home, my husband's going to BBQ here...just fired up the grill! I just showered and put on my other bathing suit. :-) I figure if I have it on, I'll definitely be in and out of the pool throughout the day (for some additional exercise)....along with
A Lot of R&R
. :-)
Hope everyone's enjoying a
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY
!!!

Yay!!! The scale's finally moving in the right direction again! I'm Really Excited about it...2.5 lbs!
I'm surprised. I've been feeling my PMS for the past few days in preparation for my TOM. Usually during this time, I experience my water weight gain...and between my late-night crunchies and my cave-in to those dog-gone chocolate-covered peanuts last night, I was prepared for a little sulking today. In fact, I popped on FS before my weigh-in just to get the motivation to brave the scale. lol
Maybe my saving grace is the increase in my water consumption (from 64oz to 96oz) ??? Whatever the reason, I'm a HAPPY Camper today!!! This is me {{{{dancing}}}} :-)
I wasn't due to measure until next week; however, I'm starting 2 new DVDs today and thought I'd better get my starting measurements. I'll be doing a 10-minute Abs DVD and a 20-minute Butt DVD! Like I mentioned to Shia...I can feel my 'Biscuits Burning' just thinking about that one! :-)
To my delight, I've lost 16.25 inches since 3 Apr!!! WoooHooooo!!!
I knew I could feel the difference in my clothes, but I'm one of those 'numbers' people. It suuuure felt good seeing the numbers today! My spiffy new Pedometer and my Water Aerobics class must be working! :-) I know that 'feeling' healthier is the most important thing, but when it's coupled with actually 'seeing' the results...it's so incredibly motivating! Enough to keep going...slip-ups and all. :-)
Oh, I want to mention that (being the 'numbers' person I am) I measure EVERYTHING! Bust, waist, lower abs, hips, 'saddles' lol (the area under the butt, but above the thighs), right thigh, right calf, neck, upper-right arm, and finally my wrist! I don't want to give the impression that I'm only measuring the 3 main areas (bust, waist, hips). I can't help myself...I'm one of 'those' who either gain all over or lose all over, so I try to keep a close watch on all of it.
For so many years, it's been either diet
OR
exercise, which just doesn't work for me. Thanks to all my wonderful Buddies and FS members, I'm finally starting to put it all together!
My goal for this week is to continue my daily exercise & water...and to cut-out my beloved late-night crunchies. :-)
I'm sooooo close to Onederland I can almost taste it.
Move over guys...this is the week I'm comin' in. :-)
Come onnnnn, 100s...I can do it, I can do it! :-)
Thank you guys sooooo much for your continued motivation and support!!!!

Okay, yesterday I decided to play 'Superwoman'...
I took my poor underweight husband with me on my morning walk (I didn't feel like exercising, so I asked him to come along to help me get it going). After a couple of laps, I let him know I was 'good to go' on my own, but he decided to walk the 2.5 miles with me! After, we drove over to the Y to check out the nature trail we'd been hearing good stuff about. Ended up doing another mile over there. It was his off-day and a great way to spend some time together!
Once we got home, did breakfast, I decided to sweep the patio around the pool while he skimmed the few leaves from on top of the water. Ended up getting a second wind and decided to do some raking and other yard work. Stopped for a snack, checked in with FS, then decided to unwind by taking a leisurely dip. Well....not this 'Superwoman'. :-)
I ended up trying some new Abs water exercise moves that I found on the Prevention.com website. Then frog kicks, etc. My husband kept me company (from under the table umbrella...LOL) and was cheering me on as I 'worked it' from one end of the pool to the other. Finally, I let the jets beat against my thighs, calves, and lower back before calling it a day...or so I thought!
I'd purchased a Pedometer last week and had decided to finally wear it yesterday and shoot for the 10,000 steps that 'everyone' talks about. Don't you know that as of 9:35pm last night I was only at 9,403 steps. Grrrrr. Though it's not water-proof and can't calculate my 'steps' during my pool workout, I really wanted to meet my goal and actually see that number. There was just something about being so dog-gone close to that 10,000 mark, that I just couldn't let it go.
Well, I'd already taken an Epsom Salt bath and was in my night clothes...So what do I do? I walked around my house...the Whole house (up the stairs, down the stairs, through all the bedrooms, gameroom, office, living/dining/kitchen, etc) HaHaHa :-) My husband was watching me as though he was at a tennis match....back & forth, back & forth, cheering me on. I was exhausted, but HIS confidence kept me going! LOL.
Finally, I officially reached 10,112 steps! Now here's what I'm thinking.....if it takes ALL THAT to reach 10,000 steps in one day, perhaps I should re-evaluate my goal! LOL
Anyway, after a Ben-Gay rub down, and 2 Aleve's, LOL...I had a Great night's sleep and was back at the Y this morning for my water aerobics class!
I just got up from a 3hr 'nap'. My body had decided...
ENOUGH!
lol Thank goodness this is a long weekend. Maybe I can work on getting my body used to what my mind is wanting to do! :-)
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY Weekend, Everybody!!!
Enjoy & Stay Safe!
:-)

I don't know why, but I'm in a melancholy-type pensive mood this afternoon. Nostalgic, if you will. I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like it.
Maybe it's all this self-examination I've been doing since I started "slimming". Perhaps it's time to take a break from all the nutritional and exercise material I've been reading. I'm such an extremist...an all-or-nothing kinda girl...which is not always a good thing, especially during these new changes in my lifestyle. I think I might be on a TMI system-overload that's just now hitting me like a ton of bricks.
It's the strangest thing...I'm having a good day, got my exercise in, eating as planned, my family's all well, business is great...and yet I'm finding myself walking down Memory Lane in the middle of the afternoon.
What in the world is going on here?
They're not bad memories or good ones, just a feeling of being 'stuck' in the middle of that Lane. I'm not sure I want to take this trip today, but I can't seem to get away from it. It's like I'm wearing a nasty coat that I can't take off. Yuk! It's a weird combination of déjá vu and get-your-head-in-the-game kinda thing.
Grrrr...I hate this feeling.
What is this???
Ahhh...who knows. Maybe if I just stop and 'go with it' something good will come of it. I think I'll go take a quick dip in the pool and try to pull myself together.
Apologies for the oddity...I just HAD to write this down before I got completely out of control! I'm sure I'll be better and cheerier tomorrow! :)
