    Good Morning!

    Thanks Ruri however the best laid plans are often out done by YES MONSOON RAIN!!!!LOL

    I did get 33 minutes in before it began to thunder and lightening so I did get a partial....


    So due to today being Bible Study there is no workout going on....

    Goals for August 10

    1. Stay in Calorie count A MUST
    2. Water a MUST MUST
    3. Do not go crazy because I am a daily weigher and the scale says I have gained since yesterday and I cant figure out the why...
    So when I do that it throws my whole day off and I try not to eat. So just be with me as I struggle on this issue! I want to lose more than I want to eat something wrong because I am angry at the set back which will upset me more and the cycle begins NOT THIS TIME!!!!

    Be blessed ladies good luck on your goals! I would love some friends if anyone would like too.....

    Had a nice day yesterday. Poked around in Michaels and got some colored jump rings for a pair of earrings and pendant I am making my DD for her birthday on Saturday. Also found some 3-D puzzles of famous buildings (ie: Empire State Bldg., Eiffel Tower) and I may give her one of those, too. Did LOTS of walking!

    Shanae--it is normal for your body weight to fluctuate daily. Lots of things will influence it including how much water you drank, how much sleep you got, etc. That's why most people weigh weekly instead of daily. Hang in there and don't take what the scale says so seriously!

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    It was a bad day yesterday. No real reason that I can find, either, just in a funk lately. It's hard to get myself moving. I'm sore and am going to just take it easy for today, if I can. If I feel better, I will exercise later.
    There's some kind of a bug going around so maybe I picked it up and this is the start of it. I hope not because it seems to be a nasty one!
    I'm SO glad it's Friday!

    Goals for August. 12:
    1. Water.
    2. HEALTHY CHOICES!!!

    Well I still haven't stayed on top of things yet. I'm slowly trying to. I have found that everytime I go for a walk with Barb my ankle starts to hurt at the same point and today I pushed thru it and ended up with it feeling numb only on the outside from the knee down to my toes. I'm thinking that is a good sign I need to see the doctor about it.

    Since its the weekend my goals are simple. Drink lots of water all weekend. Clean my house and do the laundry. Make sure I have everything for my daughter for school. She starts Kindergarden on Tuesday!! Last but not least, get my resume around and make sure its updated so I can go look for work next week. I'm not looking forward to that one but with her in school and no other kids here for me to take care of I'm gonna go crazy if I don't find a job at least part time. LOL

    Hope you all have a good weekend:)

    Not as bad a day as I thought it would be. Did not get a workout in at home but kept the eating in check and got a lot of rearranging done at work so there was LOTS of walking involved.

    Today will be tough. It is my DDs birthday and I think we are going to my brothers and possibly to my DDs company picnic. That means lots of riding in a car (not my favorite thing at the best of times) and little control over the food choices. I'll manage but I really just want to stay here and maybe go to the Farmers Market.

    Goals for Aug. 13:
    1. Water.
    2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes.
    3. Portion control and just do my best.

    Nicole, how's your 5k training going? I just completed my first 5k yesterday. My time was 38:30. I did jog the entire race, except for about 30 seconds. I told myself if I were to take a break, it can't be any longer than 30 secs. But I only needed on "break" as the course was pretty hilly, but I made up a lot of time/speed on the decline. I'll be entering another one soon, around Labor Day. I hope to be conditioned enough where I won't need any breaks either.
