Wednesday weigh-in

Weigh-in @ 166.5 (173.5) lbs

I weighed in on my old scale, I am having to much trouble with the digital scale. Since there is a 7 pound difference between the digital scale and this old scale, I actually lost 0 pounds. No pound loss this week.

I have to remember I am in the 160's on this scale and not the 170's as far as my weight goes.

I am okay with the weight for this week. I did not do a lot of exercise this week. I just did yard work this week and watched what I ate.

It was cold here and I think it made my joints ache. The aching made me not want to exercise. I am okay with that because today and this week are new days. Each day is a new day. Today I did yard work again and thanks to fall leaves I will be in the yard the rest of the week until the leaves are mulched and collected.

Well no weight loss this week but I have next week to look forward to.

See ya next week...

Peace

Wednesday weigh-in @ 173.5...

I lost one pound!

I'll take that, because I didn't work out with P90X. I worked in my yard and I removed carpet from my family room. I am content with one pound.

Now I will get back to P90X and see what happens next week.

I am still having problems with my digital scale. Next week I think I will weigh in with my other Taylor scale. There is a 6 pound difference between the two scales but the manual one is more accurate. I can get on the digital scale and it will read 173.5. And step off get right back on and it will say I weigh 174.5. And it will keep giving me different numbers as long as I keep getting on. I have changed the batteries several times and the problem persists.

Yee Ha...

I weighed in this week at 173.5.

A 1 pound loss.

See ya next week

Peace

Working out around the house

Last week Sunday through Thursday I worked around my house. I ripped out my carpet in my family room, piece by piece. It really needed to be removed years ago. My dog had been tagging it for years. It seemed like I could not get rid of the smell no matter what I tried. It had been shampooed so many times it was still damp when I rolled it up. My family had gotten used to the smell. I would walk in the front door and say "Do you small that?". I always got "No, I don't smell anything" as a response. It was frustrating because I thought I was the only one smelling it. I put all the old carpet and padding on the patio. Wednesday I went out on the patio to let the dog out and the smell of urine over powered me. I knew then that it was not in my head or my nose it was in my old carpet. Now when I walk in the front door dog urine does not greet me at the door.

Pulling that carpet up was a strenuous satisfying job. And I did it all by myself... no help from my DH. I did get a lot of help from my kids on Wednesday and Thursday. They watched me take most of the carpet up then asked if they could help because it "looked fun". So I put them to work. They helped pull the old carpet and padding to the curb for trash day.

What would I do with out my little helpers?

I felt the pain in my back, legs, and arms. Pulling this carpet up and cleaning the wood floors underneath was a workout. I also worked in the yard and got up leaves on Tuesday.

I am still sore today. However some of the soreness from today is because my MIL, my girls and I had to clean my house, which was not planned. Like I said, what would I do with out my little helpers?

Some times things happen unexpectedly and you have to be able to adapt and modify situations and circumstances in order to keep sane. I learned from Eckhart Tolle that you can not resist that which is not pleasant or you will cause it to persist. Remembering what Tolle said in "A New Earth" and listening to my MIL and my dad, I got through the situation and all is well.

I am glad this day is about to end and a fresh new day will start shortly.

I think it is time to read "A New Earth" again.

Peace to all

Weigh in wednesday

I am weighing in at 174.5 that is a 1.5 pound loss.

I will take that. I have been working my buttocks off with p90x. Today is the beginning of week two. I am still motivated. I enjoyed the yoga-x the most. It was intense and extreme.

I have been drinking more water because the workouts are so extreme.

Yesterday I worked in the yard getting up fall leaves. I have to get a jump on the leaves or I will be overwhelmed. I live in a forest... not really. But there are so many trees in my neighborhood you would think it was a forest. Two years ago I was not physically able to get the leaves up the way I wanted. That following spring it was a mess to get up all those old decomposing leaves. I said I would never get in that situation again, if I could help it.

Well I an happy with a 1.6 pound loss

Today's weigh in is 174.5

See ya next week...

Peace

Wednesday weigh-in

I lost .5 pounds LOL!

I don't feel bad because I started P90x today and I know next week will be a better week.

I am sore and at least I know why... Because I worked my arse off!

I will post the workout later.

Weigh in for today is 176 lbs.

Peace

Working it out...

Okay, lets start with yesterday. I mowed the yard to get up all the fall leaves. That was a 45 minute workout.

I eat lightly and drank a lot of green tea yesterday.

Today I worked out with power 90x. I could only do half of the work out for chest, shoulder, and triceps, but I did it. I also did a couple of 10 second planks, side planks, and bird dogs.

I am so glad tomorrow is my off day.

I am off to the shower.

Peace

I gained weight

176.5 pounds this week.

I gained 1.5 pounds from last week.

Here is my weight form July 23, 2008...

• 7/23 - 178
• 8/6 - 176.5
• 8/13 - 178
• 8/20 - 177
• 8/27 - 180.5
• 9/3 - 174**
• 9/10 - 176.5
• 9/17 - 174.5
• 9/24 - 175
• 10/1 - 176.5

Whoa, when I look at those numbers I want to sink into a depression. The numbers do speak for themselves.

**The week I worked the hardest is the week I lost the most.

Why can't I stay motivated? Why do I sabotage my weight loss with a big celebration that makes me gain back half if not all of what I lost the previous week?

Frack- a- lacking bull! Argh! $&*#!

See ya next week...

maybe...

Peace
