A little of this and a little of that 6-26-2012

Today is my husband's 54th birthday. His comment this morning was can I get in and out of work without anyone saying HB to me. I laughed. Then he told me the only one who ever said that to him was Laura and she wasn't there anymore. So I said may be. Then when I got to work I texted him HB. Seems strange but with his Birthday close to Fathers Day we sometimes merge the two. I had fun getting him things he needed. Shirts and Pants for his new calling. The kids got him things for Fathers day too. But the funds ran out for his birthday so he is getting dinner and dessert for this one. Well who can blame us the way to his heart is thru his stomach.

As for me the weight loss is going pretty good a small setback today. The scale didn't change so still 182, though that is what you get when you don't exercise as much as you should. I don't like I should either, but with retirement parties, last week and this week I may not get to the goals I'm hoping for but as the saying goes I just need to keep on Trying, Keep on Trying...etc.

The garden is going good should have the first Early girl tomatoe any day now with a few others coming right behind it. The bell peppers are doing pretty good. The corn is not dieing just tasseling out too soon, and only about knee high. The cucumbers are hanging in there but not getting fruit from them yet. Then there is the cantalope they are hanging in there as well. So I guess I'm doing ok on the garden front, just need a good ferterlizer so they will grow.

Weight Lost Journey 6-19-2012

I don't know how long this journey is going to last. But one thing I know is that I'm going to ride it for as long as I can. It has been 3 months since I started the journey, losing 6lbs in one month. The weight loss since then has been slow and moving. That is one thing that is keeping me going. For the first two months I could not step on the scale. That part was hard. Not to mentiont that I had planned a Family Vacation in Early May. However, I did my best and tried to walk each day or we even rode bikes one day. That seemed to keep me from gaining. Then came the countless Babyshowers, with there delicious food. Followed by Holidays, and more babyshowers. Some how I managed to get myself back on the wagon each time. I'm trying my best to eat right. My only let down is the fact that I have not been able to get my self to the gym more than once a week in the last 2 months. But as you will well seen I started at 194 on this road. A weight I was not happy with. By May 6th, I was down to188. And now it is June 19th and I'm 182. That has been a hard road. One I'm not read to get off of or change. My daughter doesn't think I'm eating right. But the Doctor gave me the ok. With the weight lost coming. I feel pretty good. I'm in between the Stage 1 and Stage 2 of my meal plan. I think that is why I'm doing better. I don't sit down and eat a whole big bag of chips or 4 or 5 cookies. I eat One small batch of chips, or 1 cookie. I really fell in love with small Ice cream sandwiches. So I get the low fat Ice cream and make up the chocolate chip cookies from meal plan. This worked out good and kept me inside my carb count. I eat it for a evening snack. Works well for me and I don't get into to much trouble. If you want to take a look at my meal plan go to http://www.metablismmiricle.com/ and check it out.

June 11, 2012 5K run workout

Went to the gym today, did my best but I didn't finish 5K I made only just over 2 miles. My foot started hurting. I was afraid it would be hurt so I couldn't run or walk in the 5K. It was doing good last week. This week not so good. I'm not sure what happened. My leg and foot are not doing good. Don't go back to the Chiropractor until next week. so will just have to pull myself by my boot straps and push forward and keep trying to run on the Tredmill.

Garden is coming along fine the wind strom this last weekend pretty much done my garden in, but with a little work I should be able to get it back into shape just need to keep it watered good. The weather for the next week is going to be almost a 100 degrees. I should have some tomatoes soon. Not to mention peppers. Then we will maybe get corn in 35 days.  We shall see.
