Last weekend we BBQ up chicken Breast and Pork Chops then cut in to thin strips and that was pretty easy to throw on a salad or grap a sand bag and nibble so we are going to BBQ up some more today for the week.

Well another 2 weeks in the cast but the next 2 weeks I will be totally off work no working from home. So with the next 3 days the hubby will be home I am going to get his help with some exercises. Oh had a soda today :(

Well have not done all that bad I have a couple sodas but have really cut down notice I mostly go for a soda when I am stressed. I am day 3 of only 1 sugar in my coffee in the morning and I have only had 1 cup each day. Only processed food has been the yogurt in the morning and I hope that will change soon. Once doctor gets me out of this cast I will be able to move around in kitchen. I have been drinking more water and I am happy about that. Still not doing my dumb bell work out and that is a bad thing need to get my butt in gear.

I have a goal...

 My goal is to lose one hundred pounds in a year.  It's not impossible, just difficult to get started.  I need to lose roughly eight to nine pounds a month.  So my plan is simple, no more eating out.  Keep it to a bare minimum and if I do go out (like on date night), I'm going to keep it healthy and proportionate.

  I WILL park the farthest away from an entrance while out so I can walk the distance to get my everyday exercise in.

 I WILL work out everyday.  We have a weight bench in the garage gathering dust, that needs to change.

 I WILL take the dogs out everyday on a walk, either before or after I work.

 I WILL be more active and hike more with Aaron this fall/winter.

 I WILL climb stairs at every opportunity.

 I WILL become better, harder, better, faster, stronger, all while rocking out to Daft Punk.

 These are my rules to live by for the next year.  Guys, don't let me rationalize to myself that I'll "start tomorrow.  Let's keep this going!

Well been pretty depressed lately so talked with my oldest via AIM and she cheered me up, so I have to follow thru with my promise.

Long Term Goal lose 65 pounds by June of 2014
Short Term Goal lose 10 pounds by Sep 30 2013

Plan;

Each day work on dumb bells workout

No process foods, no soda, 1 spoon of sugar in coffee. 

Since exercise right now is pretty hard with the cast on my foot and a neck brace I will use the 5# dumb bells and work on arms and upper body as much as I can once doctor releases me to normal (walking) I will shoot for 10,000 steps a day once I am 2.5 miles within a 30 minute walk I will start back to running. Somewhere in that I want to get back to yoga and Pilate classes. If weight and inches are not dropping off then I will increase weight work out and less cardio but my walking is my stress releif its how I control my blood pressure. More walking I do the better chances I have to keep my blood pressure in a normal range.

so girls hope you push Mom every day!

Love you both

Well so far doing pretty good with food had a fantastic chicken salad for lunch and a great crab salad for dinner and have snacked on grapes didn't have breakfast had a horrible migraine and was not thinking food at the time. So have not done much but read and staying off the foot getting bored and just hope I am out of this darn cast by Thursday. Well hope to see others post soon.

Well it's almost the end of the week we have had some good news one of our daughters  got her job she has been trying for, so now we just need that call for the other daughter telling her she got the job. 
So I am off work till my doctor can fix me so I can walk on 2 feet, crutches and me don't get along. So I am laying down heating pads on all different parts of me (getting old quickly). I think at least 50% of my problem is I am allowing my problems (fibromyalgia and my foot) to control me instead of me controlling my body so with that said I have pulled out the exercise bands and we went shopping  and did not buy any processed foods just fruits and veggies. So I can't weigh myself so going to just go on how I am feeling. So I hope to see other write in our blog it will give me something to read. So going to really try hard to work at this and see what I can do.
