Over 200 Club New Year New Me Part 45

Meh.... feeling crappy. I need out of the house, but I can't leave the dog (cranky neighbors) until he is a little older and can be quiet.

I need a hair cut and a manicure. Or a real-life friend that can come over and watch Thursday night TV. haha (sad and true...)

how embarassing but my husband weighs a LOT less than I do and he is 9 inches taller!!!!! So that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarassing:mad: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: Not for long though. I will weigh less in a year. Wait did I just set a goal for myself?

Another no-loss week for me. I'll take it seeing as how I didn't do anything this week.

I'm starting to deteriorate mentally (not as severe as a total breakdown). My job is ending in two weeks... I'm beginning to freak out a little about that. And a whole list of other things that start to snowball and I end up a blubbering mess. Lame.

At least it's Friday?

You can do it momma!! When hubby & I got together 5 years ago, he probably weighed about 50 pounds less than me. Then we both gained weight -- about 40 pounds... each. :noway: Then I lost 80 and he lost 25 and I weighed like 5 pounds less than him for about 3 months! Then I got pregnant and that was the very swift end of that. :laugh: I'll be back there soon enough though.

Good Morning Ladies

Check-in form yesterday:
Calories - Just a few over
Water - 80 oz
Exercise - None, unless knitting counts
Proud - Updated my blog - it had been quite a while (not mfp, google blogger)

Well, I'm happy to say that I'm creeping back down to my pre-holidays weight, slow as anything though...... still got about 3 more to drop just to get back to Dec 18th weight.

Tiger - Welcome back !!!!! How's your first year of marriage been ?

Check in for yesterday:
Calories - under exercise by 2 calories, that was close
Water - good
Exercise - 1 hour walking
Proud - I got out and walked at lunch time

Okay I went in and changed it to 1500 calories which put carbs at 40% which seems less restrictive and probably better balanced. We will see next friday what the scale says.

Jess: Congrats on the size medium jersey! That's SO awesome!

Cris: I had the same thing with the lesser calories being burned for workouts; especially with snowshoeing. It's just not fair. As for 30DS, I prefer L2 over L1 because there aren't any pushups!

Allison: Great job on the size 16 jeans!

Sherry: I'm not sure how much you remember, but I'm a Certified Instructor for therapeutic horseback riding. A majority of our riders are on the Autism spectrum and it's amazing how many similarities there are between those with Autism and horses. The connection is truly magical. The riding offers the physical input/stimulus that the participants need to help calm them and focus them and the interaction between other riders, volunteers and the horse gives them the social piece. As I've probably said before, I've seen our riders with Autism go from almost no verbal skills to initiating conversation with strangers at the program (safe strangers!)! If you want to read about therapeutic riding or watch videos, here are a couple of options:

NARHA.org - this is the organization that makes all the standards for therapeutic riding. You can also find centers on their site.
Rivervalleyriders.org - this is the group that I volunteer with!
Also, if you search River Valley Riders on Youtube, you can see a video we produce of our riders. You can see how much fun they're having! It's just all so awesome.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me. This is my passion, so ask away!
The Executive Director of our program is an adapted phy ed teacher and she's done a lot of work in the pool with those on the spectrum. It offers a lot of benefit, though I don't have personal experience so can't attest much to that.

In other news, I think I mentioned going to dinner with my friend at Khans (Mongolian stirfry) and I love that place. Well, we got so busy talking and laughing that I only had one plate (normal is 2-3 plates!). I'm pretty happy about that and I don't feel like I was missing anything. Awesome.

Over dinner, my friend told me that I inspire her and she wants to start running. She'd like to join me for a 5k this summer, which is so cool. She previously lost a ton of weight with Slimgenics, but has put some of it back on. Slimgenics is a restrictive diet that recommends NOT exercising...um, yeah, no comment?

Checking in for yesterday:
Points: Okay, as long as I behave this weekend
Water: 67.6 oz.
Exercise: None, planned rest day
Proud: That I only had one plate of food at dinner last night...loaded with veggies!!
