Quote Notes 5

The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job, but if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.

Jeff Foxworthy

 I had to use this because I love Jeff Foxworthy. It really is important someone be the designated driver. Please do not drink and drive.

I Did the 2 Mile Walk Today

I did something I thought I could not do. I use the Walk Away the Pounds DVD. There are 3 workouts on the DVD. A one mile, a two mile and a three mile. I have been really afraid to try the two mile. I really thought that there was no way I could go past the mile mark. Guess what? I did the whole two miles. I admit that I had to slow down once or twice, but I kept moving and I finished it. I also did my mile on the treadmill so that is 3 miles today!!!! I also got all eight glasses of water. I think that is my third day in a row to get all my water. The only thing is I like to go to the gym later in the evening after dinner, but there is one problem, after I am home for about half an hour I get really hungry. It is not like yeah I could eat or I could wait, it is feeling like I am starving. I try to ignore it, but it wont go away. I try to eat some fruit, and I still feel hungry, but I wait 30 minutes to see if it goes away, and it does not so I go get a 100 calorie pack of something or other. Is there anything I can do to stop being so hungry after a workout or something that I could eat that would satisfy my hunger? I feel so strong right now I have no desire to go to bed. I have not felt this good in a long long time.

Quote Notes 4

Water is the most neglected nutrient in your diet but one of the most vital.

 Kelly Barton

 

This is so true......

Quote Notes 3

Neither should you fret too much about 'writers block'. If you are looking at a blank piece of paper and nothing comes to you, then go do something else. Writer block is just a symptom of feeling like you have nothing to say, combined with the rather weird idea that you SHOULD feel the need to say something.

 

Hugh Macleod

 

 

I have dealt with writers block before. I really have never looked at writers block in just this way. It is in interesting point. Writers block is really just a state of mind and sometimes it is hard to get out of that state. It is all you can think of, because you really do feel like you should have something to say.

Quote Notes 2

Books may be the only true magic.

 

Alice Hoffman

 

It does not matter where you are or how many people are around just crack open a book and you can be anywhere in a matter of seconds. You can be in the future, the past, the present, another country or another planet. This to me really makes books magic. You go where the author wants you to go and you see what the author wants you to see.

Sunday

It is a wonderful Sunday. We are watching the racing. Dale Jr. is doing very good. We are relaxing together. Cuddled up together cause its kind of chilly. Even the dogs are relaxing and not really excited about anything. Sunday a day of rest.

I Weigh 0.0 lbs.

I was going to weigh myself yesterday. The scale is in my mother in laws bathroom. I step on it and it said I weighed 0.0 lbs.  Yahoo!!! I am skinny!!! (Just Kidding) Her scale is on the fritz. I went to the gym tonight and got and their scale and it said I lost 4 more lbs. That means I have lost 8 lbs all together. Plus it was the wrong time to weigh. It was in the evening about 2 hours after I ate dinner, plus I had my shoes on. I am giddy. I almost at my first goal of 10 lbs. I am so proud of myself. I know I keep saying that, but I keep proving to myself that if I put my mind I can do anything! I have a confidence problem. I am amazed that this is working.

Quote Notes

 

This is the inspirational quote on Spark People. It made me think. I know I could be nicer to people. We all can. Really it is about being the best person you can be, and most of us want to be a better person.

 

I like these quotes. I think I am going to do a quote of the day. Or maybe one a week.  I think I will try the quote of the day and see how that goes.

Happy Birthday

 

 

Happy Birthday Cammie. I love you. You are the best big sister anyone could ever ask for. I hope you have a great day!!!!!

Proud

I am feeling really great today. I just got back from the gym. I am proud of myself I managed to drink 9 glasses of water today. That is huge for me. I do not like the taste of water so I use Crystal Light to go.  It has 10 calories in a package. I also use the Lipton Tea to go things and those have no calories so I try to use those more, but I like the Crystal Light better. I did ankle presses and my calves are a little sore, but that is ok. It will be so worth every ache and pain to get healthier. I have not gotten back on the scale, but I will tomorrow. I also tracked everything I ate today. I really want to start doing that everyday. That way I do not go over my calories for the day. Sometime I feel like when I am putting stuff into the tracker that I could be up and burning calories, but it is important to keep up with what you eat.

Storms,Job, and Working Out

I could not go to the gym tonight, but I did work out. I did water aerobics for about 45 minutes. Plus I did my workout tape and some strength training. We had some pretty bad storms here. I think they dropped three tornados. We are safe and I hope everyone else is safe. Steve starts his new job tomorrow. He has to be up about 4:20 in the morning. He is starting his training in Dallas, but he will work in Burleson as soon as they open the new store. Have a safe night all.

Teachers

Did you have a favorite teacher in school? What made them your favorite? What grade did they teach? Why do they stand out in your mind the most?

I fell off of the wagon and the new job

I have fallen off the wagon. Last night was the first time in almost two weeks I went to the gym. I have been drinking soda, not water. I have been eating whatever whenever. I am stopping that now. We are going to the gym tonight. No more soda. I am not punishing myself or beating myself up, but I am learning from my mistakes and I will move on. I have put back on most of the weight back that I  lost. It was not but four pounds, but I was moving in the right direction. Last night I could not do very much exercise because my foot was hurt. We were playing around and he went to close the door to our bedroom. The problem is my foot was in the way of the door. Yeah that hurt like a something else. My foot is feeling a lot better tonight, so I am going to work my tail off, or try to work my tail off.

 

Steve got a job. He is training to be a supervisor at a pizza restaurant. He is excited about this so I am happy for him.

Back to the drawing board

The new job went to the pits!!!! They started Steve without getting approval from corporate. Steve did not have enough experience for them. Now it is back to the drawling board. That really sucks!!   We were both really happy about this job.

New Job

My husband got fired just after Easter. He is a truck driver, but he does not do long haul. His Dad was a long haul trucker and my husband does not want to be away from his family that much. He found out yesterday afternoon he has gotten a job!!!!!! I am excited. He was working seven days a week weather permitting. Well this job is Monday thru Friday, and it includes insurance. Unlike his last job. They offered insurance after a year, but the deductible was 10,000 dollars. Yes that is right 10,000 dollars. He is really excited!!! It is a delivery job driving a bobtail truck. Now hopefully we can find out what is wrong. Why we are not getting pregnant.

Nascar here we come

 

We are going to Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday. It will be my first race. I am excited. Jr. is on the pole. It would be awesome if Dale Jr. won on the first race I go to. I am so darned excited!!!!! Go Dale Go.

We went to the Chevy Thunder Days in Ft. Worth yesterday. We got Jeremy Mayfield's autograph. It was neat.

My Progress so far

I have lost 3lbs. I am trying to only have one soda a week. I am drinking lots and lots of water. We are going to the gym almost every night of the week. When I get a craving I go for fruit instead of junk food. Steve is not putting any where near the sugar in his tea. I am also using a workout video Walking off the Pounds. You walk a mile in 15 minutes. I know three pounds is not a lot but I feel like its a great start. I feel better. I do not feel so tired I have more energy. I think that is from the exercise. I am encouraged and excited to keep going. I cant wait to hit the 10 pound mark.
