Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Can someone find and bump the thread where we made our commitments. I need reminders!!!

Anyway, I've been sick with a stomach thing (the subject of many a recent post). As far as dieting, um, I cannot eat much anyway. I can't think about exercise right now. I may do some scrapbooking tonight and I am definitely thinking about scrapbook layouts today. I think I have addressed all my goals.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Today:

Did 40 minutes of TaeBo

Tonight - I plan on doing 30 day shred once I get off LIF - DONE!

The bad part about today:

Ate 5 chocolate chip cookies (I had to get rid of them - didn't I?)
Had two tablespoons of Cookie Dough Ice Cream


Oh - I did drink a ton of water....can that negate the cookies?

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I joined Lucille Roberts today.
Drank one bottle of water.

Will start going to the gym tomorrow!!

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

OK...

The good...

Last night I completed 8 scrapbook pages. I'm up to January 08

Did not have my second breakfast. I have my first at 5:30 am so I'm always hungry again by 9 or so.

Made low carb lunches/dinners last night and tonight.

Drank a lot more water today.

The bad:

Still don't know what I'm teaching yet next year because admin. doesn't have a master schedule yet so I can't get started on prepping but I am doing the rest of my massive to do list.

Had three cups of coffee throughout the morning.

Ordered from Amazon.com today and completely forgot to the get Shred DVD until I saw this thread so it's off to Target in the morning.

Didn't exercise

Cooking and cleaning as usual, I'm always on top of it.

Bump for more updates

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Ok I didn't get a chance to make my commitments so I will add them now and start tomorrow:

Lose 5lbs by 7/4

Be more organized with housekeeping, bill paying, etc

Be more loving towards DH even though I'm stressed out and tired

I'll add more as I can think of it

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I am in.

I can't loose weight because I am 6 months pg, but I can make healthier choices.

I also can walk on my treadmill and use hand weights.

As far as my relationship with DH, it was recently brought to my attention thast I am not a good communicator. I didn't believe it, becuase I talk about what I want, and my feelings all of the time...but I guess that I haven't been a good listener. So, I will work on that.

I will fifnish all of my household projects this month.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I did 30 day shred today and boy - am I feeling it!!

Oh - and I didn't eat any cookies - OR - cookie dough ice cream (although the night is still young lol)

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

First thing this morning, went to Target to get the DVD and they were sold out So the part of me that didn't want to do it won for another day I did order it on amazon as soon as I got home.

Walked for two miles.

Low carb lunch.

Drank 6 huge glasses of water, cut coffee down to two cups,

Tonight, I'll plan out January 08 for their scrapbooks.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Still no chai & missing it terribly.

Stuck to WWers

Instead of cleaning, I ran errands today & worked from home. Since food shopping was one of those errands & there is a ton of healthy food in my house, I'm still feeling like I'm on track.

Next up...DH gets a foot massage as soon as I'm done reading the next installment of Captain Underpants to the munchkins.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Didn't finish my workout last night and I am just too shot to contemplate it tonight. Maybe.. I don't know...

No sugary drinks - 1 bottle and 2 glasses of water.

Ate Lean Cuisine for lunch instead of ordering out - so I saved money and calories.

Did the hike up to the little league field and back to see Robbie play.

Not a bad day - not a stellar day - but getting there.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Started the gym today,

did 15 minutes of cycling, 5 minutes of freee weights and 40 minutes on the treadmil.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Walked this AM and walked again in the early evening. I think I walked 2+ miles today.
To drink, No Diet soda.
Had a Raspberry Iced tea with lunch and a glass of lemonade with dinner.
So far, the No soda is working welll.
Drank a lot of water too.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I was just bad all around today.

Ate Ranch1 at the mall.
Barely had water.
No walk for the pug.
Got ices after dinner.
Oh I could go on and on...

I guess there is always tomorrow

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I did 30 day shred tonight even though my body was sooo achy from the last two days.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Yesterday and today--For exercise, I danced around the living room as if doing aerobics holding Dylan. I got my heartrate up. He was having such a good time. Then I did squats using him as extra weight. I really feel it.

I have not gotten outside more.

Another goal was to learn our new camera. I do not even know where DH put it.

I did start to get my DR table set up with scrapbook supplies and I was going to do some tonight but because of the soreness in my legs I don't feel like sitting there. Instead I am sitting here on LIF.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

Forgot to update yesterday:

I looked a mess yesterday. I did put on some moisturizer - but my ponytail was a disaster and I didn't have any other make up on.

I didn't exercise AT ALL - but in fairness to me I wasn't feeling good.

I did eat pretty well - flat breads with fruit and cheese for breakfast, Lean Cuisine for lunch (and half of an apple puff ).

Today won't be much better. I am sick as a dog and Noah has graduation so I am going to be running around as soon as I get my azz in gear.

Sunday starts a new week though!

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Daily Updates - start page 2

I'm down a 1.5lb toward my 5lb goal (but only after I pump in the morning )

Didn't update yesterday. Not a good day with one thing of bad news after another, BUT..NO Soda!
