so fitness goals for this month include things I am already doing but stepping it up.
First- more time on bike and walking dog. Remind myself how good i feel, because I do feel great after exercise.
Second- I might take advantage of this cold to cut out mt dew and sugar drinks at least for a couple weeks. I really want that goal of below 200 soon.
third- bring back my mini movement time at work. I find myself on my bum far too much
fourth continue with soup and salad lunches, good dinner and breakfasts. Reminding myself about portion control.
fifth- keep the fire still hot with hunny, that has top count as aerobic activities!
I would love to see the same progress for 2011. That would get me closer to my the ultimate goal between 140-160 and being able to by sexy panties off the rack.

Right and work on the abs challenge again starting tonight 100 in 100 days
I get a bit spotty but really need to find the time. I do 40 crunches, 40 lower back crunches and then 20 these side to side twisty things. Will tonight when I get home, can't use feeling like shite as a reason not to do it.

01/17/11

don't know what dinner is

01/12/11

been a bit behind in posting but have been doing good food wise, exercise wise but not so much soda wise. grrrrrrrrr to me. I think I just have to cold turkey it- just no sugar in drinks for a week. And already I can hear myself making excuses why that is a bad idea.
It has been a holiday season filled with some changes. Timony got engaged and moved to LA. Colleen is mad at us because we threw an engagement party. It was really a hey come and met the guy party but it seemed rude to call it that. Le sigh maybe someday she will actually talk to us. You see we did not throw her a party. I am back to being evil step mother.

01/03/11

Started my week out right
up early weaving and water
rode 8.5 miles and day 6/100
breakfast was ramen- must not be weak and buy that shit.
no lunch to speak of, mt dew, 8 crackers and 4 slices of gouda cheese and a pack of peanut m&ms
dinner tonight is butternut squash and coconut rice. and since it is a new recipe if it sucks then a CLT.

new year's weekend

Was mostly behaved this weekend. More soda than I care to admit-although it seems I am but also moved more furniture and shoveled lots of snow.
It was a good weekend. I kept finding myself suddenly;y very hungry and tried to make sure I ate good things rather than just reach for the crap that is abundant.
Still have to figure out how to get rid of the second soda of the day.
Working on that really!
