Good Morning!

Good Morning everyone!! I just thought I would check in quick this morning. Yesterday was the end of another Weight Watchers week for mom and I. I've managed to get in my 25 activity points so far every week of these six weeks. For the last two weeks I have exceeded the 25. We are still walking during our two 15 min breaks and lunch break at work. The last couple of days have been very hot and muggy so we have been walking the halls and stairwells of our building. For our "real" workouts mom and I have been making good use of the pool. Judging by the scale this morning, it's paying off!! I hope every one has a great day!! Jaime Jo

Hi, it's me Anna=)

Oh my.  It's the prodigal daughter returning with her tails between her legs.  (Where's my robe & fatted calf?)  Heh heh - only kidding 

I do return with results but I have still not mastered this working out thing yet. 

BUT since february, I have lost 13 pounds!!!  All is being attributed to better eating habits & cutting out the naughty stuff - all that yummy goodness Harv wrote about... ughhhh

I have had a lot of success with 'lean cuisines' at lunch vs. eating fast food (better for my budget too!)  They are usually between 250 & 350 cals - pretty tasty & lots of 'options' so you don't get bored eating the same thing over & over.  Yes, they have a lot of sodium, but they don't contain preservatives so I like that. 

I'm also taking a multivitamin + cal/mag/D + ocean essentials (omega-3 fatty acids) + complex for hair, skin & nails.  Even if it's just in my head it feels good to invest in my health & I think I have more energy as a result.  (it's not as tough to get myself out of bed in the morning). 

I honestly can't believe the scale says what it says - i have put myself on 3 different ones just to *make sure* the jokes not on me...

When I start working out (because I WILL) i will definitely be checking back in... gotta tone up the jiggly parts... haha

XOXOXO 

PAM JUST CHECKING IN... :)

Good Afternoon...We have been in Tri-Cities for almost a week now.  I'm on Daniel's antiquated computer (I can say that because we gave it to him and it was OLD then :)  I knew travelling would be a challege for getting exercise in, but HAPPY there is a fitness center where he and Malia live.  Have managed to use it everyday.  I thought it would be SUMMER when we came but it is FREEZING here so far :(  It's an older apartment complex (but nice) and the long slats on the the windows literally "blow around" when the wind blows when the windows are SHUT...so, its actually not very 'air tight'...lol.  Tom said it nicely, when the wind blows it sounds like you're out on the prairie on the homestead and the wind is howling....you just hear the whistle...So happy to see you all are doing so good...Donna, Jamie and Brenda.  We saw Harvey and Linda, Brenda and Neil at Walla Walla Convention, Michael, Marianne, and Hannah too :) and they're all looking great.  Neil is over here visiting Daniel this weekend too :) What fun! Keep up the good work everyone!

Happy Saturday everone!!  We've had a busy week here in Mpls.  Kylie and Terry and their two dogs came to the cities on Monday and are staying until Wednesday for a little birthday vacation.  We went to the Twins vs Cubs game last night and are going again this afternoon.  It is VERY hard to eat healthy at Target Field!!  They have so many deliciously naughty food choices!!  :)

I have been doing pretty good.  I am getting in my water every day and managed to get in my 25 activity points last week (my WW week is Wednesday to Tuesday) by going to the pool with Kylie and Mom a couple of times and doing lots of walking during my breaks at work.  I am off to a good start again this week as well.  It is supposed to be about 91 degrees today and our seats at the game this afternoon are directly in the sun.  So, I expect to sweat off a few pounds today!!  ;)

I hope everyone is doing great!!

Happy Day

Happy Weekend Everyone!!! :)

Hope y'all are enjoying it and maybe even enjoying the sunshine? It is grey and sprinkling here but imagining that it was sunny!  Hope everyone has had a wonderful week, it is so fun to hear about everyone's successes!!!

I have still be working out everyday, but I am feeling somewhat like a fish out of water... This is the longest time that I haven't swam in years! And although we have been at the pool, I haven't had time to just lap swim and I am missing working out in the water.  Hopefully when I am just working on the floor and not doing all of our classes too, then I can swim more and do all other kinds of workouts... Right now I am just using the elliptical in the garage so I have time to workout before work!

Anyway, I am about to head out to go on a walk with Marianne to Starbucks :) Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Love y'all,
Brenda:)

p.s. I'll work on a picture for the next post ;)
