looking forward to tomorrow!

Tomorrow is cardio day and I really like cardio day.  Not because I like the pain but because it's short!  hahahaha
But most of all, I am looking forward to tomorrow because Odell comes home and on top of that, he brings Sara with him!  Some of you know of Sara, some don't, but she just graduated college and she is coming to live with us for a while, working with our son like she did when we lived closer, and she will sub at the school.  We are very excited!  And...she is a great workout buddy!  
Today, the boys and I went to the gym.  They did their little cute workouts while I did my less cute workout...grunting and groaning and sweating.  It was back, biceps, and abs day for me.  And I must have done ok with yesterday's workout too because I feel it today!

Josha,
I love cardio day too. For the same reason. It almost, ALMOST, feels like a free day.

Hi Josh,

I'm glad your buddies are coming in today! What fun. Princess and I have been praying for Sara's arrival and all the fun that will mean for the 6 of you.

I found a yummy snack to share. Reduced fat whipped cream cheese spread with a cut up apple. I used 1/2 serving of the cream. Calories for the snack: 85
Princess says the snack is even better with brown sugar mixed with the cream cheese! :) Great for the kids, not for the mommy.

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
