Day 1 again

Hubby is off to the oil sands again for 10 days - that gives me 10 days to get walking everyday and a meal plan made.
Goddess give me strength and willingness to follow through with this.

Sometimes Life just interferes

I did well last week, until Thursday night.  I just got home and my sister calls to say my Mom was having double vision. Now the lodge where she lives did not call.  My sister thought to be safe that Mom should go to emergency.  Off I go to pick Mom up. They ended up admitting her, she has had a small stroke.  She seems fine except for the double vision and her blood pressure is a little high.  I didn't get to talk to the doctor yesterday and when my sister called she didn't get any new information.
Mom says she is going home on Friday, we have not heard anything yet. All the stress and stopping in for visit after work has put my workout on hold.
Hopefully I will get back on track very soon, Mom will be out of the hospital and on her way to recovery soon.

*Peeking In*

Well it has been a long time .............................................................


I certainly was not busy losing any weight.

I have to say tonight will be 3rd time in a row on the treadmill. Just thought I would put that out there for now. Hoping for 30 minutes tonight, 35 tomorrow.
Menu to come - so would love a in house chef lol

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.
