Whew, my two year old is really working my patience.   Where’s a burger when you need one?  I guess I could daydream about one.  Picture me with a fake burger in my hands up to my mouth with my mouth wide open.  I mean really wide cause it’s a double meat. 

Ran 3 days this week and walked 2. Watched my food and drank lots of water. We even went college touring yesterday to two places and I kept my food in check while we were on the road! Oh yeah baby!

Weigh in was today and I’m down 3 pounds!  I’m stoked!

Give me a high five and don’t leave me hangin’! 

Thanks to my Fox Fire Four teammates for support along with our competitors the Fantastic Fours who supported me also!  Oh, and to all my other Buddies out there who read my blogs and send me boosters.  Big thanks!  See?  I’m stoked right?!!!!

A year ago today I got started on my weight loss goals at a starting weight of 207.  Now I’m 152 and last night I ran 4 miles.   

Just so people know it’s not every day that I have all this new found energy.  There are times that I still feel like that lazy 207  that didn’t want to do anything.  It’s still a struggle for me to push myself to the gym.   It’s not like I lost weight and will now run through a field of lillies jumping and singing full of life while music plays in the background.  Nope.  Sometimes I just want to be a couch potato for the day.    But, I’m so better off health wise than a year ago today and I do look a little hotter in some jeans if I do say so myself!  Ha ha!

 Work hard for your goal buddies.  Be faithful to your plans.   See yourself a year from now.

P.S.  Thanks to all my buddies past and present who supported me along the way.  You’ve made it fun.

Well, I cheated on my scale.  I know, I know.  I’m a weight loss slut.  You don’t have to tell me.  We were getting along great until Saturday night and I decided to go out and meet someone else at a dance club. He was tall, dark and pretty cold to the touch. I can’t remember everything about that night but I think his name was Bud something. Let me think (tapping my head as I ponder). Bud Light! That’s his name. I met him and a few of his friends. Well, I don’t want to see him again or his friends for a long while. He made me feel so good though and made me feel like I could be a dancer on Dancing With the Stars! I’m not sure everyone else that was there watching me will agree but who cares.  I was working it!   Anyway, I’m cutting him and his friends out until I reach my goals again. The scale was mad at me but he still let me see a one pound loss. He threw me a bone I guess and I’ll take it. At least he didn’t quit speaking to me all together!

Let’s have a great week Buddyslimmers! Monday is a great place to press the restart button! And heaven’s knows I’ve pressed it time and time again!

Well, the scale and I went on a date as planned to Subway!  (See my last blog if you have any questions).  We got a long great! 

Question though, was it wrong for him to ask me to pay?  He did forget his wallet.

Us in a warm embrace……ah.  We ate fresh and got fresh!

We make such a cute couple!!!!!

 P.S.  Dawnie pay up!  And you too Buttercup!

Well Buddies, the scale is being kind to me today. Really kind so I might take it out for lunch as a thank you. Of course we will make it a healthy lunch like Subway. But I have to watch what we talk about or I’ll make it angry and we’ll argue and then the scale will change it’s mind.

I hope the scale is good to you too Buddies!

P.S. Hopefully fellow Buddyslimmer Tasha doesn’t jinx me. I think her and my scale got a thing going and there out to get me.

Yuck, I know.  But, I mean I’m running!  Today I did 3 miles on the treadmill.  I wanted to quit a couple of times but I kept telling myself that I used to run that amount a couple of months ago so why not try it again and just take it mile by mile.  And I did it in 33 minutes and then walked for 7 to complete 40 minutes of cardio.  I also did 20 minutes of weights which I really don’t enjoy but I know I need it to be healthy so I’ll just deal with it.  My food also went right on track.  Drank more water than yesterday and that’s a plus.

Let’s really try and stay on track fellow Buddyslimmers.  Some of us made new goals for the New Year so let’s try and be faithful to those goals.   We made them for a reason so let’s give it our best effort. 

Have a great healthy weekend!

Evening buddies, how’s everyone’s plans going?  Mine went well today.  Did 40 minutes of walking and 20 minutes of weights.    Oh, and I stayed right on target with my goals for food today.   Probably could have drank more water but I still have time to get in another bottle.   I really need to use my gift card for Itunes to get new music. 

Tomorrow’s another day buddies!  The weekend is coming and those days can be hard but let’s stay focused with all our goals. 

Have a good Friday everyone!

One day down and I’m feeling pretty good about it.  I ate very well and avoided the candy on the counter.  I was thinking of throwing it away but decided not to because I wanted to be stronger than the temptation.  But I suggest most people should throw tempting candy away if you do have those bad urges to eat it and if you are just starting your new health plans (it helped me when I first started early last year that’s for sure).  I also worked out tonight even though it was later in the evening.  I walked / ran for 40 minutes and then did weights for 20 minutes. 

Now, off to read some blogs!  Have a great night and let’s get through Thursday in the healthiest way possible!

I made my resolution list late last night and I’m set to do them.   Normally I would have started all my resolutions on New Years but I gave myself a pass because I knew I was going to celebrate New Years Eve with a little drinking and I always need the next day to recover.  However, I did start some things yesterday that weren’t weight related but more personal things.   I’m a list girl.  I love the idea of new starts and making things official. 

At the New Year’s Eve party I must have said more than once that the year 2008 was the year of Jeanette (my real name).  “The Year of Jeanette!”  Ha ha!  So people kept ribbing me the next day that this was the year of Jeanette.   So now I gotta prove it!  With God’s mercy, this can be a wonderful year for me because I have a plan in place and I need to put everything in action and the only person that can stop me is me.   And my list is not just simply losing more weight but it does have alot to do with personal growth and health.

Good luck to everyone out there restarting their plans and making new goals.  I think it’s ok to make new goals for the New Year and make things “official”.  Making resolutions to me shows us we are hopeful for the new year and making it a better year.   Have a great start everyone!
