Think Thin Thursday!

It's Think Thin Thursday again! Yay!

I didn't set a goal last week, so that means I win, right?

I pretty much just continued my previous goals.

1. 24oz or less of Coke/Soda a day

2. Drink at least 1 bottle of water a day

3. Lose weight

Our task from Bridgette was to visit Tyson.com and check out their products. My MIL makes a yummy cornish hen for our Thanksgiving and Easter feasts! (Each person gets their own hen and they are very tasty.) I'm not dieting, so I don't know how healthy they are, but they sure are yummy!

This next week, I really would like to get on Wii Fit more this week, but I'm not making it a goal, since I know the likelihood is low.




I axed the whole exercise on Wii Fit every day, because it's just not going to happen with where I am at work right now. I'm WAY too busy & when I get home I'm WAY too tired.





I did get some exercise in though. Saturday I went with my Girl Scouts to a Service Unit Badge Day (which was a lot of walking). Sunday my Dad and I went out clothes/shoe shopping, which is also a lot of walking & a lot of up/down bending. Monday we did the clothes shopping thing with my sister, lots of walking, again. Yesterday, I played basketball for about 15 minutes with my students, which is a lot of running. So, I am EXERCISING, just not on Wii Fit & not for any real measurable amounts of time.





I still drink a bottle of water at work each day and I am TRYING really hard to only have ONE soda.

Well, I just finished my Wii Fit time for tonight. I'm up 0.7 lbs, so I'm back in the 192 range. Boo. Maybe it's muscle weight? Yea, who'm I kidding! Ha ha!

Wish me luck this week, I'm really hoping I'm pregnant, so losing some extra weight would be AWESOME!

Think Thin Thursday!

Well, it's another Think Thin Thursday in the blog-o-sphere and I have failed again!

I didn't do ANY Wii Fit this week. I've been SLAMMED at work & Chrissy & the kids were here this weekend. We couldn't get the Wii out Friday-Sunday because of the kids. Then, starting first thing Monday morning I've been busting my butt & staying out until after 8 PM each day with work, Girl Scouts, and getting stuff from Freecycle. You see, last weekend, Tony, Brianna, and Ashley, had 1 change of clothes & no underwear or socks! So, I've been scouring freecycle trying to find stuff for them. There are so many giving people out there!

But, that's beside the point. I haven't had time to get on Wii Fit & that was my number 1 goal. I have been keeping up with the water & I think that's helped with my energy. I slacked off on the caffiene though because I didn't have any bottles to bring to work & I bought some Creme Soda at the grocery store. I know, I know...but I wanted it!

I did get some exercise on Saturday, when we went to Nauticus.

Well, I did manage to lose another 0.4 lbs and now I'm down to the 191 range! Yay! So far this year, I've lost 3 lbs! Wahoo!

I didn't do any exercises on Wii Fit tonight, I just checked my weight.

I don't have a low fat dessert option to suggest, because I don't diet!

Sorry!

Think Thin Thursday!

Well, I 1/2 way met my goal. I'm just getting this post up, because I've either been sick or busy for the last week. Last Thursday was the last time I played Wii Fit. It had been a full week since I got on there when I hopped on tonight. BUT, I lost 1.2 lbs! I am down to 192 lbs, yay!

Mandy came over tonight & we bee-bopped and boogied to party music while we cleaned house and made dinner. I made sure to keep my legs bouncing or my hips swaying & pumped my arms as much as possible. I gotta tell you, it was a workout! My legs and abs are feeling it...it took us about 2 hours, so Tim gave me credit for 2 hours of exercise in Wii Fit. My Wii Fit age tonight was 29, so that's not too bad.

I managed to drink my water, but I've been sneaking in the caffiene sodas again. Whoopsie. I'll get right on that.

So far my goals have been:

1. Cut out caffiene or strongly limit it.

2. Drink 1 bottle of water a day.

3. Lose weight.

4. Go on Wii Fit every other day (at least).

I think this week I am going to repeat number 4. Since I was sick last week &/or busy, I wasn't able to even ATTEMPT to do it, so I'll try a lot harder this week.

Bridgette's question of the week is:

This weeks task: What is YOUR motivation? Is it a pair of skinny jeans, a sexy black dress, a bathing suit, or simply being there for your kids? Blog about what keeps you motivated or better yet, show us a picture!

My motivation is to feel and look better. I want to be at a healthier weight so I can keep up with my kids and husband. I am hoping that losing weight will help me get & stay pregnant. I am back on Clomid today, so I'm totally excited that I might be able to get pregnant this month!

Don't forget to go on over and check out all the other Think Thin Thursday posts on "The Not-So Blog, Blog".

Think Thin Thursday!

Yay! I met my goal! Wahoo! I am down to 193 lbs, steady. Wii Fit makes it glaringly obvious how my weight fluctuates, but it's always within 0.3 lbs of 193, so that's awesome! I managed to drink lots of water everyday, though I didn't have an actual bottle Friday-Tuesday. I don't think I had any caffienated soda, unless we were at a restraunt, which I can't recall. I did have a tiny sip today, but, you know I didn't have ANY soda not even caffiene free this weekend! Yay!

Here's Bridgette's charge for the week:
I think the hardest meal for me to plan is breakfast. I need it to be quick and portable (I usually eat breakfast at my desk at work). I get in a rut and eat the same thing day in and day out, and it's getting old. Include in your Think Thin Thursday post a breakfast menu or item that works for you!

Well, I suck at breakfast too. It's more of a "snack time" if I have time, at work. Some of the things I like to eat are Toaster Strudels, bagels with jelly, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (dry), fruit, hash browns from the neighborhood deli ($2 for a HUGE container of chopped & grilled potatoes, yummy!), McDonald's hashbrowns, or a Blueberry muffin from 7-11. So, there you have it. It's not really healthy, I definitely don't have a meal plan (diets don't work for me!), but it makes me happy & gives me the engery I need to get to my 12:30 lunch time.

My goal for this week is, exercise on Wii Fit at least every other day. No time limit no restrictions, just exercise at least every other day. (and continue the other goals!)

Well, I should be in bed & Tim just asked me to rub his back. It is 3:27 am after all, and it's a pretty huge day at work for me. So, I'm going to go. Have a great week and good luck.

Think Thin Thursday!

Well, welcome to another edition of Think Thin Thursday, courtesy of "The Not So Blog, Blog".

Yay! Thinking THIN is great! Not that I've actually lost any weight BUT, at least I've got the MENTALITY down! Ha ha!

So, this week I drank my bottle of water on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. So 5/7 is not bad, what do you think, do I get credit for that or not? The biggest hurdle to drinking the water, was having access to it. I left my bottle at home on Wednesday & Sunday we were out and about so much I didn't have time to drink! I also didn't lose any weight. I maintained the exact same weight, which is better than bouncing around.

This week my goal is to maintain the no caffiene diet, drink my water EVERY day, and actually manage to shed some weight, even if it's only 1/2 a pound!

What do I plan on doing to help with this, you might ask? Well, as of tomorrow, I am going to be the PROUD & oh-so-happy owner of Wii Fit! I can't wait to get on there & exercise my belly off!

Wish me luck!

This week's challenge/tast from Bridgette is to link up to a site that helps us with our weight loss. This one is actually difficult for me, because I don't really have a "weight loss" website. I hated Spark people after about the 20th e-mail. I sucked at Weight Watchers. I can't "diet" so I'm not looking for low-fat meal options. The only real place I go to for support is HERE & Ovusoft. My message board girls are encouraging me to lose weight, since it will hopefully help me get pregnant & then maintain it! Even though I sometimes feel like I'm talking to myself here on my little piece of the blog-o-sphere, I really do appreciate all the comments and support I get from my readers!

Now, I'm off to give some love to my fellow Think Thin Ladies!

If you'd like an extra nudge on the weight loss track, feel free to join our group!

Think Thin Thursday!

Well, it's the first week of Think Thin Thursday. I'm definitely not thinking thin today, as I haven't eaten much all day.

My goal for the next week is to drink an entire bottle of water a day & continue to avoid caffiene!

Last week's goal was to limit my caffiene to one soda a day & I did it! Somedays I didn't have ANY caffiene at all!

This week's task is to visit 2 other Think Thin posts & comment on them! Well, I've already visited one, so let me go get one more!

Then I'm taking my stomach flu having self back to bed.

Night!

Think Thin Thursdays (I'm a little late!)

Well, I think I'm going to join this movement! Bridgette at the Not-So-Blog, Blog is hosting "Think Thin Thursdays" a blog "party" of women trying to lose weight this year. Each week there will be a topic to post about & goals to set. Then, on the following Thursday, we'll all come back & determine whether or not we met the goals & encourage/support/help each other.

This week's topic is to write about your resolutions. I've already done that, but I'll recap!

#7 Clean the walls throughout the house. Possibly repaint the house as well. This is definitely something I want to do when we do our big remodel that we're planning for Spring Break.

#6 Put together the cradle Dad bought us.

#5 Get a hair TRIM at least every other month. Tim is my beautician and he has been lacking. I have to cut his hair every 2 weeks like clockwork...but mine gets pushed to the wayside.

#4 Bathe the dogs at least once a month. We suck at this. Mostly because there are 3 dogs & none of them "love" bath-time.

#3 Lose weight. That would be the reason for joining Think Thin Thursdays! I currently weigh around 195 pounds. I float a couple pounds up and down depending on the time of the month & how "good" I've been. I am five feet two inches. According to an online BMI Chart, my BMI is 36. That's really bad & I'm labeled as "obese." This is not cool. According to the same chart a normal BMI for a woman is 18.5-24.9 which for me translates to 104-131 pounds. So, my goal for TOTAL weight loss would be 77 pounds. WOW, that's like a lot. I haven't honestly looked at that in a long time. (Target Weight=118 lbs) So far, I've quit drinking caffiene drinks & trying to eat a little better overall. I got Rollerblades for Christmas and can't wait to break them in! I'm really hoping it's something I can do & get 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week.

#2 Grade papers. The week I assign them. And then get them back to my students. I kind of suck at this & I REALLY need to get better at it, so that I can do well in my job.

#1 Get pregnant. Sometime this year. If I don't get pregnant, start the adoption process.

My goal for this week is to drink less than 24 oz of caffiene daily. So far so good!
