Ok, weird, I can post pics at work, but not at home. Hmmmm, another challenge.

I liked waht this pic says, didn’t want to start out with a gloomy Monday! I’m tired from my grocery trip last nite, but got up and did my Billy Blanks amped cardio with the amplifier bar, and my situps and bridges.

I have some exciting news to report!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dad can now get up out of bed all by himself!!! I sure hope he can come home now, he says he is ready to, so really pray mom can talk to the dr and nurses to get this worked out!

Did you all have a good Easter? We didn’t do anything, but I did get a ham, and Ted is gonna cook it sometime this week, and I will just reallt have to use strict portion control. I’m really gonna watch my calories this week, too. Want to get this weight moving. If that doesn’t work, then I may do what Jo says and just take a few days off  to shock my body. NOT GONNA QUIT!! No worries there.

Well, I need to go post, wanted to let you all know about dad.

Thanks for all your support, hugs to you all!

       I hope this worked, still trying to post a pic on my blog. I am still trying, lol.

Well, very frustrated today, still the same weight, the things that used to work for me aren’t now. I think my body is used to what I do.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I cam shake it up? I have tried to cut my calories lower, and last week I didn’t do so well, hormones kicked in and I was hungry all week. I did stay within my normal range, but I need to do something different, I think. Still have 7 pounds to go!! Grr, this is so frustrating!

Sorry for the rant, I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! Mine will be kinda strange, wanted to get mom’s car yesterday to get my groceries, but she wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed home and cleaned house instead. She wants me to take her up to see dad today, but she won’t get here until about 3, and then I will have to get the groceries after that. Oh well, just gotta bend with it.

Ted says not to stress over dinner, he said he would make it during the week, so I’m gonna try and find a low sodium ham(do they make those?) and will just have to be real careful and weigh and measure everything, I know I can do it. Ted has some sort of stomach bug right now and isn’t up to fixing it anyways. I may just get some kind of take out and bring it home.

I did watch “10 Commandments” last nite, and “The Passion of the Christ” too. Wanted to get my focus on that, since I would npt be in church. I need to find a church home, just been so busy, I haven’t had the time. Would prob only be able to go on Wednesdays, though.

Well, good luck to all the weight loss teams today, GO WILDCATS!!!

Time to go post and read blogs, love you all!

Finally am able to from home, Yay!! I know it doesn’t take much to please me, lol.

Here is one I couldn’t resist!!

Got this in my inbox this morning. So how are we today? I’m, doing good, think I will do my Leslie Sansone 5 miles again today, and the last 4 team challenges.

I at least lost the 2 I gained so far, want to get off more by tomorrow.

I’m doing good though, had Subway last nite for dinner.

Gonna check out the school stuff this weekend, too.

What is everyone doing for Easter?

I did buy myself some Jelly Bellies for Easter, lol. Won’t have them until tomorrow. Hope to go see dad this weekend, too, and will have to do my grocery shopping early tomorrow so Ted can make the ham, I had to wait to get paid to get it.

Not much going on for Easter. Did get Ted a chocolate bunny, lol. I miss the days when I was little and Easter meant church, a new dress and gloves and purse. Even when Holly was little. But not now, I am gonna wathc the Passion of the Christ tonite, want to get my focus on what Easter really means.

My devotions this morning brought home a point for me. I spend too much time dwelling on the stuff in my life that I’m not happy about, and need to spend way more time being thankful. It was talking about when Jesus healed the 10 lepers and only one came back to thank Him. I don’t want to be like that ungrateful 9. So, my prayer today is to be more thankful for all the good things in my life and trust God to take care of the rest. I listed alot of what I was thankful for in my prayer:

My health

My family

My friends ( which includes all of you!)

My job

My home

My clothes

My food.

My new physical fitness

I could go on and on, I think we should all take time to count our blessings, a good friend at work noticed I was down, and he emailed me to start sending him 10 things I was thankful for and we went back and forth like that for awhile, and it really helped! Some pretty funny things were on our lists, but it was all true!

Well, those are my thoughts for the day, now time to post and read blogs. Love you all! Kama

Good morning buddies!! I’m determined today will be a good day!! Well, it didn’t get off to a great start, I weighed myself and was up 2!!! I think it is water, I have been feeling REALLY  hormonal all week! Been hungrier, too. Arrggh! But I have stayed within my calorie range, and have done my workouts, too. So we will see by Sunday.

Did my bootcamp this morning and my floor work, will do my team challenges later. Was trying to get in a walk 3 nites a week, but have been so busy, I haven’t had time, plus I have been more tired this week. Any suggestions??

Well, gonna have Ted look at my school stuff this weekend and will check it out online, too. Still really excited about that!!

Not sure of our Easter plans this weekend, would like to see dad, but we will see. I think Ted is gonna cook a ham, I think.

Really craving jelly beans, I heard that a local grocery store carries sugar free, so will check that out. Not into chocolate much, but really love jelly beans, lol.

Well I had better go post before it gets too crazy here. Have a great one, love ya!

This morning has been crazy!!

First my ride calls me at 6:30(too late for me to get to work on time on the bus), tells me she is not going to work today. So I had to take the bus, and I got here 45 minutes late! Then the girl who works this department with me is off today, so I got slammed with her stuff too! FINALLY taking a breather! So, how are we doing today? Did a good workout with Leslies Sansone this morning! Plus did my situps and crunches and will do my team challenges today, too.

My poor mom, she is getting so forgetful, but she at least did go to the dr for her knee, she may be facing surgery for that. She forgot that I had paid the tv payment already, and she called me in a panic over it. I had to remind her. Poor lady, I know it is hard.

Well, I may be going back to school! It iwll be an onlne course for Health and nutrition! I just got the info yesterday, still have to check it all out.

Well that is it for me, I have to go post. Love you all!

Good morning!! Halfway thru the week!! How are we today?? I’m doing great today, did my Bootcamp cardio this morning, and my situps and bridges, too. Will do my team challenges this afternoon, too.

Mom has an appt with a knee specialist this morning, she will let me know how that goes.

She is having real trouble with her knee, so I’m glad she is getting it checked out. Dad is the same, doing good. Still no word on when he can come home.

Well, I have to go post, You all have a great day!

Oh, and Biggest loser was fantastic last nite! I was literally bawling!!! Love it!

Get those workouts in buddies, love ya!

I forgot to tell you the best thing my daughter said yesterday… She gasped when she saw me and said “MOM, WHERE DID YOU GO??? I KEEP LOOKING FOR THE REST OF YOU!!!” Lmao, she was even excited at my muscles!!

But I had an awesome day yesterday!

I started out the day with my Billy Blanks Energy, and did all the rest of my exercises too.

Then mom, picked me up and she, I and Holly went and saw dad. He was so happy, bragging that his “complete” family was there!!

Then we dropped mom off, and went for lunch at Uno Pizzeria, was so good! I had the buffalo chicken sandwich, and fries, and a no alcohol beer! I enjoyed it so much, and we did lots of walking while shopping! I was even sore today! I got a new CD and 2 cute tops!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was so good to be with her. She goes home tomorrow, and will be back for a wedding in August!

So how are we today, buddies???? No slacking while I was gone I hope?? Lol, I know better. I did my Hip Hop abs this morning, and will do my floor work and my challenges tonite while watching Biggost Loser. Plus I am slammed at work, (being gone one day makes a big difference!)

So, I f I don’t get to all the blogs today, I will work on them, ok? Love you all!

I was talking to a good friend yesterday. She was telling me how proud she is of me and how much I had grown and changed. I told her sometimes I don’t feel that different on the inside. That I get embarrassed and humbled by all the compliments. I don’t really feel I am all that special, and that I do feel all the credit goes to God. She agreed with me but then said, “But you had to be willing”. She said I need to learn to accept the praise. I wonder if that was my low self esteem making me feel that way? I talked to Ted about it, and he thinks so. I do love all the praises I have gotten and I’m so grateful for it. I just sometimes feel that I don’t deserve it. Why is it so difficult to accept? I have no problem giving it. Guess that is something in myself I need to work on?

Hmmm, I don’t ever want to become smug and think “I have made it” I don’t ever want to think I have done all I can do. I always want to become better and better, and I fell it has to be an ongoing process. I don’t think you can get to a level and stop. There is no stopping, if you think you can stop, then you actually start sliding backwards. That is what I have learned. I hope all this makes sense, I’m really having trouble in this area.

I feel a great responsibility, and that is a good thing. When I work out, or am tempted to cheat, I think of you all, and then what I’m working for, and that sure keeps me in line. My biggest desire now (in addition to reaching goal of course) is to be a help and encouragement to others. I know that even when I reach goal, I will still be here, I need you all and I will need to remain accountable. Old habits can creep in too easy, that I know.

So forgive my rambling, just some thoughts I wanted to get out. Seems it is hard to find the time to do that during the week.

Just a reminder: I won’t be on all day tomorrow unless I have time tomorrow nite. I will be spending the whole day with my daughter! I’m so excited about that! I really love each and every one of you. Good luck to all the weight loss teams today, too. GO WILDCATS!!

Have an awesome Sunday!!
