Great weekened I had.  I was able to use my Tae-Bo T3 dvds and as we all know, Billy Blanks is no joke!  The set comes with four dvds plus a 10 minute (for each area) target dvd.  I did the target dvd this week, and yes, I noticed the difference in my waist after two workouts.  I bought a pair of slacks this weekend at Macy’s, size 16, and what a fit.  Just perfect.  I believe the perfect size for me would be a 14, but if I make it to my perfect weight of 150, I will take whatever size comes with it.  Feeling light on my feet is so wonderful, I can’t express it.  But it makes me smile, and gives me such a good feeling that words can’t express it.

 Good luck to everyone and remember motivation comes for one pound (or one inch) lost. 

Good afternoon everyone!  I have not logged onto buddyslim since last week, but I have had the chance to read some of the blogs and see that we are all still fighting this game; some losses and some wins.  I am with everyone in this battle.  It has been hard for me as well, I just don’t document it.  The scale remains the same, but my clothes are loose — that makes me smile.

 I’ve learned not to beat myself up if I gain a pound or two, or even five.  We all make mistakes and even when we have met our “perfect” weight, there is a chance we will fluctuate five pounds (or less).  Life is not perfect, that I can accept; and I accept me.  I want to change, I can change, I will change — because I have nothing but time.  Talk to you soon……

Today is a going to be a really good day!  I am committed to exercising in the gym.  I am comitted to doing squats in the evening.  With the squats I do them until I no longer can (this way it is not as bad as it seems).  Calisthenics at home is easier when I do not complete a set number of sets/repetitions.  I just do them until I am weak. 

Breakfast was a egg white omelet with cheese and turkey bacon.  At 11:00am I will eat my mid morning snack of yogurt, fresh fruit and granola.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I need snack of more than 100 calories before working out in the gym.

Anyway, I feel great today and I hope everyone “Parties like a Rock Star”!

Not enough exercising (I’ve had a major issue with committing to exercise the last few weeks).  My niece paid me one of the highest compliments, not long ago.  She said “You have a very healthy refrigerator.”  She she is 100% right.  I do have a healthy ‘frig.  The only bad thing would be my son’s cookies (which I do not eat).  I have fresh fruits, vegetables (if you have not tried edamame, try them — they are really good) yogurt, nuts, bottled water, lean deli meat, pb&j, whole wheat bread, etc…..Problem is with my not exercising my weight loss has stalled.  I have ordered Tae Bo T3, but it takes two weeks for the arrival.  I still go to the gym, but it is now down to two or three days a week.  I am trying squats, and lifting weights at home, but I have become very tired and after work, my will is gone.  So with that, I’ve started taking my multi-vitamin and hope that will get me back into the swing of things.  Watching Queen Latifah in the Jenny Craig commercial I am with her on being a “size healthier”.  It is no longer about what size I can become, but what size do I feel comfortable.  I feel comfortable now, but will feel better with every 10 pounds I lose.  It’s hard — Lord knows it’s hard — but I can accomplish my goal.  It will take some time, but hey, time is on my side.  I will keep my head up and rise above this!
