Today

I keep hovering around 130, I go down 2 pounds then back up. I started back at Allsport, hopefully that will help keep me down. Tonight when I got to Allsport, someone was on the AMT, so I went on the elliptical. Then she got the AMT, so I went on it, and forgot to subtract the time I was on the elliptical. I wondered why I was running late to get Stitch and Gwen and why were my legs so sore? Dummy! Well, I got a really good workout in and rewarded myself with a cafe mocha after. And when Stitch and Gwen wanted to stop at Wendy’s, I didn’t get anything!

Here is a website with pictures from WW thread.

Today

Today I took a tumble down the stairs into the Chrysler building landing on my knees. They are kind of sore now and I didn’t get to work out. I left work early though, I want to get some ice on them and put them up so hopefully they won’t be too sore tomorrow.

When I got up, I had to stand there for a few minutes ’cause my heart was pounding.

I missed telling you about Vermont, M., S. and I went there for a weekend. We stayed at the hugging bear inn. Here is a picture and a video.

I have to go get the kids now.

Hello Again

Hi how have you been. I have not been able to update this in forever, as you can see. My father gave me a new laptop and I couldn’t get in to update this. Right now I can’t even use it because it has a virus. When I get it fixed I am going to try again. If not, I will just start a new one. So this could be the last entry I make.

As for WW, I gained 7 pounds over the summer, but I have started to lose it so it was just summertime funk. Well, Gwen is waiting for me so I had better leave. I think she might be reading this since I am on a public computer at the library.

WW

OK. The scale died and I had to buy my own. Got a WW one this time, paid a lot of money. It said I gained 5 pounds. Problem was, the scale at Allsport agreed with it! I kind of went off program when M went to Florida. I am back down, not all the way, but I am back into my J. Crew button fly jeans, for the second time, I was in them before the gain, and even though I feel ‘squeezed’ into them, they don’t feel as tight. Go figure. I have to go now, but I will try to be more regular posting here.

WI

Yesterday am I was 125.8, that is down from last week but not all the way down. I was still holding water however. Today I did not eat good, I bought cashews and ate a bunch of them. I think I was hoping that I would have to go the bathroom if I ate a lot. Didn’t work.

Anyway, my parents are coming to visit in May. I really want to get down to 119 by then. That’s 2 months to lose 6 pounds. I have to start being really good.

More WW

Well, I was up a pound last WI but I was holding water. GT is coming. I did a silly thing at the gym. I was going to take my sweat pants, but forgot and took my jeans, the ones I just washed and were tight before I went up a pound. Anyway, after my workout, I put them on and couldn’t get them zipped! Got them halfway zipped up. I knew if I laid down I could zip them, but I was also thinking how embarrassed I would be if someone walked in on me! I finally had to lie down, I just couldn’t get them zipped. Once I did, it only took a second to finish zipping them up. Thank goodness! And no one walked in on me.

I had a bad day

I got to bed late last night. Then woke up a few times. Once to turn off the heater, next around 4:18 a.m. Then I didn’t get up for work until 5:40 a.m. or so. I ran to the bathroom and the light was burnt out. I had to go with the door open and Butterscotch watching me. I went online and started the thread for “Points Poster” and still caught the 6:18 a.m. train. Fortunately I had put the 2 new balls of yarn in my knitting bag so I could keep on knitting. So I was in a pretty good mood despite the rocky start.

All that changed when I opened my workbag when I got to my office. I had forgotten my WW journal. Well, that was not a catastrophe; I have my computer and can track online. Then when I put my coat away I saw the stitching in the sleeve is coming undone, that needs to be fixed now. Since I used my debit card last night I went online to check my balance. After I pay all my bills I will have $3 in my checking account.

The next thing happened when I tried to type a letter. I got the new letterhead from the R drive and when I hit return, the curser spaced! Couldn’t get it to do anything else! I had to get an old letter and take D’s name out of it. Then I bit the inside of my lip so hard it bled.

I thought when I left to go home my bad day was over. After all, M had called and told me the water bottles had come and were pretty. I was sitting on the train knitting when I heard someone mention the train was late. Then T announced there was a problem with the doors. ARGGG. We left GCT 10 minutes late. We got to Tarrytown at 5:55 p.m., Croton Harmon at 6:03 p.m., Peekskill at 6:12 p.m., Garrison at 6:21 p.m., Cold Spring at 6:23 p.m. and finally Beacon at 6:28 p.m.

And then when I got home I found my WW journal in my knitting bag. So I had it with me all day!
Well, I went to work out, used my new water bottle, which I really like, and now am ready to mend my coat so I can wear it tomorrow when I meet Casey. I want to wear it because it is easy to spot and I told her I would be wearing it.

WW and crafts.

WI this morning I was down 0.4 pounds. Here is the holder I made for my MP3 player.

Progress notes

Weigh in yesterday: 125.6, -1.6 from last week, -14.4 overall, 15.6 to go. I have lost my first 10%. I might stop after I lose my next 10%, but I really want to get to 110.

Gripes

Hi all. I had WI today. 127.2 pounds, down 0.4 pounds, total loss 12.8 pounds. To answer Barb’s question about where I was, Feb 5-7, (M-T-W) I was at the Marriott in Time Square, (no computer) Thursday and Friday I was home (Dial-up Internet connection). Tuesday I came home early and found Stitch in a panic cause the kitchen pipes for the hot water were frozen. Then on Thursday the furnace died. Friday morning I was too cold to get out of bed. So I didn’t get a workout in from Monday to Wednesday. Thursday I got a light workout in, Friday a little more of a workout, then Saturday I was cleaning the basement because they are supposed to be bringing a new furnace this week. I was going to go workout after but Fred starting bugging me about going with me to play racquetball and I didn’t want the extra pressure so I just said forget it and didn’t go. Sunday morning I made up for it with an hour long step aerobics class . My legs are sore. So that was my week. Oh, except I got a letter from my mother that upset me. Don’t ask, don’t ask, OK, you can ask, but I won’t answer. Thanks for listening, aren’t you sorry you asked now?

I am so glad to be back to my normal routine, almost, can’t do my laundry like I normally do. But I had my oatmeal and pineapple this a.m. instead of ½ an everything bagel with cream cheese and I will have my salad (I never in my life thought I would WANT to have a salad, actually look forward to it) for lunch. Hopefully things will start moving (to put it delicately, any other way would be TMI) and I will lose. I mean, I did lose, but only 0.4 pounds. Which means I have another 0.4 pounds to lose to make up for my gain 2 weeks ago. Took me a day to gain it, and at least 3 weeks to lose it. I am back on track, I went to a step aerobics class yesterday morning. The teacher is also my friend’s WW leader so she knows me so I have to do good. My legs are so sore, I am such a wimp. ♥♪
