snow



The picture was taken around 2pm, on our deck........it is now 10:30 pm and yours truly just dug out 3 cars in the driveway. Child #3 could not help with his "bad" arm..........close eyes if picture too graphic.........child #1 shoveled the deck and walkway....the dawling is down south enjoying his 60 degree weather and got to ride a Segway...yep, made sure he put a helmet on...he fell on his butt when he was getting off, that's my dawling.......(you know he doesn't know how to ride a bike, I tried to teach him once, but he needed a bike with very large training wheels).............back to the snow.....shoveling driveway...hell it burns calories...........so I became one with the shovel...........we got about 8 inches total....I was hoping for a blizzard..........sigh...........my brain is disjointed in this post....but somewhat interesting ? No???????

Surprise


I get up early...it's weigh in day.....I missed last Wednesday ......working.....go do my workout thing....burn at least 400 calories....I've become very OCD about that......go to WW and SURPRISE....they were closed due to the weather......Now...picture this...try to anyway....sweaty, fat person in shorts and Tee shirt.....(it's what I weigh in people) freezing her behind off thinking the stupid door is stuck.....but NO! Big sign closed due to weather.......I didn't see it.......cause I was too busy shaking............BLAST! Now I wait another week and hope I haven't gained!

No, it's not Wednesday


Well.....I will be working most of Wednesday...so, no weigh in this week......and no, I can't do it Thursday, or Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday.....working....cause I love my job.......soooooooo much.......but really love the dollars more.............

Today I did the Sumba hell, again..Maybe I should just blurt out I am a disoriented, uncoordinated, pathetic, reject 70's dancer? I'm telling you....it's sad watching me.......one poor person nearly choked on her water...I gave up and started doing the monkey, then the swim.....remember those???????? At least I had a sweat going.........

I always do the elliptical (it depends on my mood as to which torture machine I choose) either before weights or after......I can see the calories burning off (note it has a calorie thing in the corner)....which helps the brain go when the body says STOP! Now for extra credit.... every morning I do the weight crunch thing for the gut.....cause this fat waddle person wants the gut gone! (Please note when working out DO NOT let young, lithe ladies get beside you...you tend to look at their levels and barf)

My dawling just got back from taking our child #4 to college and guess what that "son of a gun" brought back to me? Oh yeah baby.....chocolate covered NY biscotti.......I have begged my #2 to eat them all within the next 24 hours.........

Maybe it's a good thing...I will be hitting the scales next Wednesday...the 26th........and I will get that dawling back.......

Results


Started my gym membership in earnest this Monday...ww weigh in was today, Wednesday....... weight loss was one pound...two pounds more to go then can erase the blasted weight gain from the holidays.... and go from there! I am doing the weight lifting thing 3 times per week with the aerobic 5 times per week. I did the Zumba thing yesterday...I knew the instructor...she put the bells on "me" ass......I was very uh.....laughable......and most ridiculous looking........and not coordinating with my body parts.........lets blame that on brain neurons not firing.........tomorrow it will be either yoga for the dumb or the Zumba nightmare again.........at least the elliptical machines can't make me look too inept.........stay toned.......or tuned.........whichever........

Time to face the weight gain.....ugh


Well.......two weeks of trying, but not really trying..........netted me a gain of 3 pounds. It was kind of nice to go off the deep end but now, the reality. I have joined a gym and very early this morning I worked out in a class of fit young and very trim, damn, damn women. It was my first time and let me tell you...I Am SO OUT OF SHAPE! Muscle solutions was the name of this hell. ("The ultimate sculpting class designed to define and tone every muscle in every way using various fitness equipment to build lean muscle and burn a ton of calories.") It was the burn a ton of calories that captured my fat heart.......I'll be back in this class Monday at 06:00...........cussing at my jelly muscles........
Due to my work schedule this week I will literally not have any time for exercise until maybe Saturday night............So, my goal is to dump the 3 pounds in two weeks and then dump another 5 to 10 by the end of February! Let us all bow our collective heads in prayer, as this fatty will need an intervention! Oh, by the way one really gets a dose of reality pie when seeing one's fat self in those awful mirrors plastered on the workout rooms! (Can one fat self vomit now?!)

Notice the child to your left with said gimp arm.....poor thing ...had to make him hold the quilt........that's why I was punished with weight gain ....karma............the end.

Still busy




I have my first cattle scale weigh in this Wednesday......I have been either out of town or too darn busy. The unfortunate aspect of not going to cattle scale will be major major weight gain!!!! I tried....truly! BUT...I start my gym membership tomorrow and that will be wonderful! I can go as early as 05:30! I am working more hours of late, which gives me nil to no time for self. I work evenings on Wednesdays too...this week I am pulling awful awful hours!!!!! Thursday and Friday I will be working from 07:00 to 21:00...and since I live about 65 Minutes from my job tack that on too!

My sweet child #3 had arm surgery on the 23rd of December, so has a cast from his shoulder to hand. On top of that his birthday was the 29Th......we have told him when he feels better we'll celebrate in true form!

I have posted pictures of child #2's quilt finally finished!! This was suppose to be done last May for her graduation from college. Better late than never!!!!!!! I machine quilted the damn thing myself!! It is bigger than a full size but a tad smaller than a queen.
