Bought a bike

So the hubby and I went out yesterday and bought new bikes. Cruiser style bikes. We love them! My 12 year old daughter and I got matching bikes with baskets to carry our water bottles and whatever else we might need. I plan on taking her out as much as I can this Spring, Summer and Fall to bike ride with me. We both need the exercise and outdoor time. Plus it's a great way to spend time together. And weekends or evenings the hubby will go along with us. I'm so excited!

Here is a picture of our bikes:

Later today since it's a little warmer than usual we will be taking our bikes out for a ride today at the local park. This another journey on my weight loss and I can't wait to get moving and see results.

Tuesday night

Went to my weigh in and discovered I was down 2.4lbs for the week. About time I was heading back in the right direction.

But. Yep, there is a but. But seeing as I won't weigh in this Tuesday due to it being my son's 18th birthday and we are going to dinner that night, I have let myself eat whatever I want for the last few days. So as of today, I'm back on track. I won't allow myself to fall off the wagon. I won't! Well, until Tuesday. We are going to BD's Mongolian Grill. But I hear it's pretty healthy or you can eat healthy. So I'll look up my dinner before I leave.

Well it's time to get this old body moving and get some housework done. Have to get in some activity points somehow since it's too cold outside to go for a walk.

Another gain!

Had weigh on Tuesday. No idea why I gained this week. I stayed on track and wrote down everything. I'm ready to quit and give up. If I gain this week then I'm considering cancelling my membership. Although the 2 people I go with won't me allow me to give up.

I am once again going to give up pop. I think the sodium in it might be causing the gains. That or the convenience of throwing Smart Ones or Lean Cuisines into the microwave at lunch time. I don't know.

I'm doing everything in my power to not have a gain this week. I have cut down on pop to 1 can in the morning. At least for a week. Then I will give them all together. No take out!

This morning I tried a new breakfast. A recipe given to us from our WW leader. It's 1/2 cup egg substitute and 1 Laughing Cow lite cheese in a mug. Microwave this for 1 minute. Stir and microwave another 30 seconds or until set. It was only 2pts. And it was good. I made some wheat toast to go with it. For lunch it's leftovers. I made stuffed pepper soup last night for dinner. I got the recipe from www.skinnytaste.com she has a lot of great recipes.

Well time to enjoy my coffee before cleaning the house. Have a great day!

1/4/12

I went to my weigh in last night. I gained 2.2 lbs since Dec. 13, but I'm ok with it. After putting our dog down I just didn't care to watch what I ate or to even write it down. Our dog was part of our family and it has been hard adjusting to her being gone. We still look for her. But I'm forcing myself to move on. It's a new year and no matter what I will keep trucking on. I set a resolution to lose weight but to also not miss a meeting. No matter what. Our WW leader told us last night that we should come to the meeting and just take a no weigh in pass. I'm not going to do that. I will face each little mishap and move on. That's my resolution.

New coat

Bought myself a new coat, scarf and gloves. Didn't want to but it was cute. Maybe it will motivate me to lose weight so that I can buy a smaller size next time and I will look cute in it. 

I'm still around. The weight loss is going slow. I'm down 21.2 lbs so far. I'm ok with that. I don't want to lose fast but I want to start noticing a difference. The past week has been hard. Last Wednesday we had to put our dog down. She was 15. She was to the point that she could barely walk anymore or when she laid down she could not get back up. Her eyesight and hearing were gone. We didn't want to but it was a very hard decision we had to make. For her. We did the right thing. We've been lost without her but we will get through it. Possibly in the Spring we will get another dog. Or 2. But right now, we can't do it. Don't want to do it. It doesn't seem right or fair to KC to be replaced already.

My Christmas shopping is done. Except for 2 people. I just have to pick up a gift for my BIL for our family gift exchange. And then a gift for my son's girlfriends family. My parents bought us a big box of chocolate. It's going to be hard to avoid that. I will eat a piece here or there but I'm sure the kids will eat most of it. And I'm fine with that...lol.

Wishing for a white Christmas but it doesn't look like we will get much snow. Well I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas. Be safe.

Whoa....MIA I guess..

Still here. Still going to WW. So far I've lost 16.4 or something like that. The last few weeks I've been eating what I want when I want. I need to get myself back on track.
