It's been a while

It has been a while! I had a very rough week. Our agency had to close 2 programs. Fortunately none of my programs were affected. Unfortunately I had to be part of the layoff process. Very, Very, Very scary times in the non-profit world!

Last week was horrible, talk about stress eating! I had my annual physical - according to my scale I gained 2 lbs! According to my doctor's scale - I lost 6 since my last visit a month ago. I like her scale better! I also stopped exercising last week. I am hitting the gym tomorrow though. I am officially starting my training schedule for the 1/2 marathon.

I hope to have some chocolate recipes posted this week. I was thinking of making Fridays - "Chocolate Fix Fridays" and have lower cal/fat/sugar types of recipes posted.

Motivational Monday

Greetings!
I hope everyone is doing well. Here is a great 2 minute movie that is very inspirational. I hope you enjoy it! Here is the link http://www.success.com/definingmoments/


Training Progress

Activity: Cross Training Day - Turbo Jam
Time: 40 Minutes

Sunday

I need to get the eating in order. I did so so with this. I did get my exercise in. I am happy about that.

Progress:
Activity: Walking
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 1 hour

I took all of my supplements!

I came across a new website on walking. They have some good basic walking information and a variety of locations to walk. The site is The Walking Connection.

What a Gem

Hello,
This is a fun little site. If you like to take quizzes, check out blogthings.com

Your Gemstone Says...

You are stable, strong, and full of life. You are an inspiring person. People turn to you first for leadership and advice. You are able to gently help people get to where they need to be. And while you aren't afraid to lead when necessary, you are never heartless or bossy.

The Gemstone Test

A long, hard and stressful day

Working in the non-profit world is rough right now. I am extremely exhausted and stressed out. Of course I turned to my way of coping - stress eating and working too late (trying to accomplish what seems to be a never ending / growing amount of work). Enough whining though - I am blessed to have a job. Thanks to my hubby and best friend, I am reminded that I have the power to change things. Which is why I am involved involved with Seriesse! I am soooo excited to be attending a meeting tomorrow morning with this group of wonderfully positive people.

I did not exercise - My eating was poor - chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. (I did take my supplements though!) I will get a good night's sleep and get back on track Saturday.

A long day

What a long day. I am spending way too much time at work. I am going on vacation next week. Which of course means extra long days before and after vacation. I really need to cut out soome time to focus on my business. I did manage to exercise! (Hopefully it off set the 3 chicken strips I ate from KFC - Ugh!) Now I can't sleep because I think I exercised too late!.

Progress Update:
Activity: Strength Training (I got these great bands from bodylastics) and Turbo Jam - 20 minute work out.

Progress for the day

Progress Update:
Activity: Walking - 3 miles
Time: 62 minutes - Yikes!

I have been doing well with the exercise and workouts, but my eating is so so. I say that I make healthy choices about 75 -80% of the time. I have also been consistent with the supplements.

Taking it off together

Quick progress update

Activity:Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds Express - Super Challenge

Completed all 4 miles!


I love this video. It is all cardio and it is at a much faster pace than many of her other videos. You have the option to stop after each mile or do the whole thing!

I plan to walk on Saturday at the gym.

Rest Day

Hello Everyone,

Today is my day to rest! (From exercise that is - I had a long day at work!) My eating was so - so. Tomorrow I walk 2 miles. Hope everyone is well. Here's a picture of my cat - Boots. She's about 14 years old (but acts like a kitten!) She's kickin back and relaxing too!
