The exercise is coming along

but not the weight loss
I actually gained weight ugh!

My final day for the Whole Body Vibration thing is on Monday - I feel better but don't think I have lost anything.  Today I feel terribly  bloated, I wonder if I didn't drink enough water after the lovely massage I had yesterday. Oh well I will go "jiggle" after work any way.  Hopefully get an half hour on the treadmill.  That will make it 3 times this week.  It's a start.

2012 Starts

Ended up sick for the whole time between Christmas and New Years
Weighed myself on January 1, 2012
Starting weight - 144lbs
goal for January is to lose 8lbs, that is 2 per week.
I haven't done up the meal plan yet - but will be doing the 14 day plan from the Nov/Dec Cleaning Eating magazine. I'll post it or a link to it when I get a chance.
Tonight I am hoping I can walk for at least 30 minutes - see how I am feeling

2011 Summary - not what I wanted

Well 2011 didn't quite go as planned with getting into shape and losing weight. 2012 will be better, one can hope.   I am hoping to start again January 1.  I will post my weight (yikes!) I am going to begin using the Clean Eating Magazine 14 day menus just easy for planning will sub out food I don't like for food I do. I was hoping to have a gym at work starting in January but it has been postponed until September So it is up to me to get at exercising once I get home.
Not sure how many of you are following me any more on here but I welcome you to join me.
My goal for January is to lose 4lbs
walk 1 mile everyday
strength train 3 times a week
Eat clean follow - the plan

Trying this one more time

Okay, the cooler weather has set in - hmmm I think I missed summer, haha, it was hot and humid in Ottawa when I went to help and attend daughter's wedding, and of course that is when Calgary had summer lol.
Hot and humid was almost too much.  No fan or air conditioning in the small apartment, no cross draft and the balcony door screen was non-functional, so the cats could get out there and not safe for them.
I am slowly getting my plans together to eat cleaner and to exercise.  I am hoping I can make myself go downstairs and walk on treadmill at for 30  minutes to an hour a day.
This week will not do so well as, I haven't prepared any thing for the week.  I know that prep work on the weekend is the key, I just seem to have so much other stuff do that it gets put off until too late.
Organization at home has never been a strong point for me.  I think I am going to start and finish one task per day.
I will weigh in Monday morning and start from there.

July 4 update - Happy July 4th to my American friends

Well weighed myself this morning and was at 137lbs. What would it had been if I could have been a little more proactive on the exercise?
Spent a good amount of time preparing meals and snack for the week.  Still need to grocery shop for when the kids are here. Wednesday night might have to be the night.
Tonight I have to get my blood work done.  I am pretty sure I have a Candida infestation (I know TMI), but not the normal of what you think of  Candida.  So blood work and more doctors appointments.  I am hoping the clean eating will help, May have to cut out the fruit as well, (natural sugars)
yesterday I didn't quite stick to meal plan for the day, but think I did okay
breakfast: :Since I got up late -
1 hard boiled egg and a banana
Lunch -
Grilled chicken breast with spinach and blueberries and cucumber - quite yummy
snack - the protein pancakes lol several grilled pepper strips (I was prepping the weeks food)
Supper - more protein pancakes
Snack - banana and 2 rice cakes with almond butter.

Today
Breakfast - protein shake (yogurt, blueberries, banana, almond mild and hemp protein powder)
snack - oatmeal and an hard boiled egg (I forgot to put the egg in the oatmeal when I cooked it)
Lunch turkey breast (small piece) and steamed bok choy and some pepper strips
Snack - chicken breast and more peppers (might be something else, just can't remember)
Supper - Salmon and broccoli

July 1, Starting the 2 Week Cooler 1 Challenge

Weight this morning - 140.6
I am joining the  The Gracious Pantry in a  2 week cleaning eating challenge
based on Tosca Reno Clean Eating cooler 1.  Of course I have lent out both my copies of her book, and now need the reference.  Oh well, I get by using Tiffany's meal plan, for next week, the week after that Sheena and Matt will be here. Time is flying soon it will be September.  Okay will part of this challenge is to exercise as well, so I am off to find a piece for my Wii, then either get it hooked up correctly or use the Xbox.
