How is going Misty?

shelby'snana · 01-17-2013, 11:42 PM

work was pretty good. Took Allie for a walk before I left for work. Haven't cheated since they had that "party" for me and I ate a full meal and dessert last Sunday ~~~ haven't gotten back down to that weight yet ! That's frustrating that ONE meal can do that ;/

Walked tons at work last 3 days. Constantly moving. Need to get a pedometer and see how many steps I average.

Keeping up with my journal on here.......

..

me 2....have to be careful and get a good one that accurate

i would like a body bug

misty1028 · 01-18-2013, 08:57 AM

Doing great with my mini challenges. Especially the water and it's starting to really help. Like I said it's really slow for me but that's ok

Jeanie I keep a written journal as well. If I don't I forget to add in the little extra things I eat, even thought it totally lc. I tend to stuff celery with anything and don't add it in. That's my big flaw and can add up to 20 extra lc's in know time. So now I trying to remember to add it in as soon as I eat it.

Laura pedometers are great, I have one and when I walk around the lake and am pooped I said to my self that's all I walked and pushed harder. But when I'm walking I try to go where they're some hills. Of course I doing it for Rocco

shelby'snana · 01-18-2013, 09:16 AM

I will have to look for a body bug !

DH and I are taking off to Ruidoso NM on Monday, get there Tues ! Hope to do lots of walking and enjoy some snow !!

Allie gets to go too.......... How's Rocco ??

I did really good all weekend, got plenty of water in me and exercises. Neighbor gave me a few more exercise DVD's so going to do them when I can't make it to the gym. Don't know why she always buys them and doesn't use them. But I'll take them

TODAY is a big cleaning day ...

its rough living and working in the same space SO....

lots of stuff to the basement..new shelves..found my kitchen table

and 9 loads of laundry done....have to go UP the stairs to the laundry room

.

does that count for workout?

misty1028 · 01-22-2013, 12:57 PM

Deb cleaning day for me today to, but only got half done, gonna do the rest Thursday. Work and girls shopping day tomorrow. 9 loads of wash upstairs sure counts as a big workout to me.

Today did exercise, alot of water, no cheats. And keeping track in my journal. I really like this idea of mini challenges less frustrating. So cold today, that I made a nice comfy shepards pie for dinner. Me night tonight because DH has FD meeting.

Deb · 01-22-2013, 01:03 PM

Misty i havent made a shepards pie in ages....

my son used to love shep pie..he called it mush

and he had to have peas in it for some reason

i forgot.....
when we were in Washington i bought some enchilada sauce in a can...*cant get it here*

so now i want to make enchiladas but i have never made them

anyone have a good easy recipe

crock or bake?

misty1028 · 01-22-2013, 03:30 PM

Deb never made enchiladas, but my neighbor makes chicken ones that are great. I think she just googles Chicken Enchiladas and got the recipe there. I love shepards pie, but this time I used mashed sweet potatoes and they were the best ever. And of couse DH had me make him corn bread to go with it.
