update

Glad to hear Lifetime is working out for you Megan. I also prefer my workouts early in the morning. Getting up at 5:16 am ('cause 5:15 is way too early!) is sometimes hard, but I like that I'm done by 7am. Just need to get my non-bootcamp days going better.

Well, weigh in on Thurs was a .6 loss, which took me past 15lbs. Yippee! So excited! But, I do need prayers for this weekend. Merywn and Joel are going to be camping and when Merwyn's gone, I tend to stay up late and eat more. I have popcorn stocked, including 1pt carmel popcorn if you can believe it, so I have a healthy snack available. Theoretically... I should be set!

Enjoy your weekends!

I'm so happy I have you girls to motivate me, even when we aren't posting on here as regularly as we should :) Because of both of you, God kept nudging my mind to find a way to work out...to see others doing it shows you you can too...so I'm on day 2! Yesterday, Terrie went with me at 6 am and I did 40 minutes...today I went by myself and did 62 minutes, burned 460 calories (plus whatever you burn after...wonder what that is???) and went 3.8 miles...I love going early and will probably go a tad earlier so I can shower there too...there is some kind of extra peace I get knowing I don't have any kids around who are going to disturb or interrupt me!!! I don't have that pit of anxiety waiting for the "ball to drop"! I can just stay on, as long as I feel I can, and see a nice accomplishment at the end...

NOW<>

Anyhoo, just want to thank you girls for setting such good examples for me...I really do appreciate it :) Have a great day!

weigh in on Wed

This week I went back to a Wed weigh in because of our garage sale starting Thursday and good news...lost another pound! Now, if I can keep going and at least lose .4 next week, I'll have reached 15lbs lost. Yippee! Gotta do better though than I have these last couple days though...I'm out of my routine with this garage sale, but it's over tomorrow! Another yippee! I don't think I want to do another one. Ever. We'll see though.

Also, I got myself outside to walk/run before Merwyn left for work. I had not been able to do that except for Bootcamp ('cause somebody's waiting for me there!). I did this morning though. Ok...givin' myself a 3rd yippee. YIPPEE!

Weigh in 7/23/10

Well exciting times this am -- just hit a low weight!!  I am .4 lbs lower than my lowest weight in MAY.   So that is exciting.

Although today I took the boys to Red Robin for lunch after a dental appt that went forever and we all got lectures on brushing and flossing.  
I did NOT want a salad, so ordered a chicken sandwich.   Caleb thought it looked pretty good so I gave him a bit, then offered him 1/2.  So my 8 pt sandwich could of been 16 - YIKES!   My own little portion control is Caleb!   Now I also shouldn't of had fries. So if I don't eat anything else today I will be in points.   Well I need some kind of dinner and maybe a snack or two at Elizabeths tonight.  So challenges are on the way. BUT oh did that burger and fries taste good!


Now CONGRATS to MAMA DUB!!!  Low weight and a 2.6 lbs loss on vacation.  YOU GO GIRL!!!
Cheering and smiling for you over here.


Have a great weekend!

Check it!

Hooray for those Essenburg active family vacations! Even with s'mores most nights, I have lost 2.6 lbs getting me to a new low! Yippee! This is great motivation. I feel ready to buckle down!

no time to waste!

So, I've taken a WW vacation (practically) for the last 4 days and I can tell in my shorts!!! Of course, it's water weight and bloating...nothing that can't come off pretty quickly, but it's there and I DON'T like it!!

I'm going to get more diligent and prayerful about God's desire in my weight maintenance and loss...that I would really desire to eat as He wants me to eat...to see that not all indulgences are necessary, even if I want them/feel entitled to them! BUT, that I would also be content and patient as He works out spiritual disciplines along with physical disciplines!

With that, time for breakfast! Hope you are both doing well!!!

Weigh in 7/9/10

 A little late but here it is...
I weighed in up 2.6 lbs from 2 weeks ago.  I did not weigh myself on 7/2 as we left for vacation that day.  I did enjoy my food vacation of indulgences.  That would be ice cream everyday!!   YES I said Ice Cream EVERYDAY!!!   A new flavor too.    

So this week after returning home I decided that I MUST get SERIOUS AGAIN!!!   So I'm going to work out 5 days this week (OK while typing that I kept hitting the 4 button funny).  I have one day done.  I am going to do about an hour a day.   Thursday I did 52 minutes on my elliptical with some ab work on my ab lounger.   Friday - 53 minutes and some ab work.  Monday I've got to get back up and do it again!

So my eating since coming home has mostly been within my daily points allowance.  So far no ice cream! 

Mama W - enjoy your vacation!  Enjoy the smores and ice cream and that cinnamon roll you facbooked about. 
Mama M  - I know your doing great.  Your birthday is Thursday so enjoy it but I know your waiting for cake until after Saturday, but I still say enjoy your birthday!!
