I had laryngitis yesterday. I am headed in to the doctors shortly. I'll be getting meds since I KNOW I have an ear infection from my cold.

Nothing much else going on. I am STILL waiting for the winter coat hubby ordered for me November 22nd. Also, my elliptical machine is due in around the 13th of January.

KISSES

Didja get anything for your birthday? A cake? Presents? Birfday wishes?

Well, mah darlin EvaJane.... just a couple of days away from seeing full body pics of me. Going to take pics/tape measurements/scale weight on the first and go from there.

I'll tape every week, weigh every week and post new pics the first of every month. I cannot WAIT for my elliptical to get here!!! *squeals* I swear I have NO PATIENCE LEFT for the holidays. They need to get out of here.

Got my New Year *Good Luck* meal in place. Making Hoppin John (black eyed peas & rice), fresh cooked turnip greens w/bacon, ham & cabbage and I have 7 round fruit for the table.

Kisses and I hope you are having a GREAT weekend!

erg1269 · 12-30-2007, 06:53 AM

i got bday wishes from my mom - a phone call from my niece - a hug and happy bday from my daughter - a written happy bday from my son and absolutely nothing from the man. i got the ds basically for my bday... that was it. nothing else.

i cleaned house yesterday - packing up all the christmas stuff. cleaned off my ablounger - have my treadmil set up and ready to go. i planned on doing the same... full body pics - measurements - etc etc.. and them im going to hang my pictures in the kitchen... so i see them --mental images to say hey..you look like this not whats in your mind! cuz my mind doesnt really thing im that big ya know! not until i see a picture of myself.
especially ones from my parents 50th wedding anniv.

im also setting mini goals. my kids are leaving me for 4 days... so i wanna see what i can accomplish in 4 days. then my next mini goal is Feb 8th -- going to WI dells for a youth group convention. then march 22nd --anniversary --- then july 4th --party time! i always go to my cousins...

water is always my biggest challenge --- since im not fond of it -- but i still have green tea --- figured i can turn it into an icetea.

erg1269 · 12-30-2007, 06:59 AM

PSSSTTTT
i might be older LOL --- but yours will be here in no time flat!!

erg1269 · 12-30-2007, 07:02 AM

I was up SOOO LATE last night! Didn't get to bed until almost 2! I am trying to get everything together I know I'm going to need to get the New Year started off on the RIGHT foot!!!

I had to find a place where I would be able to take timed, full body self pics since, after Feb/March, hubby won't be here. Plus, I want to do it all by myself anyway. I want to be completely self reliant and say I DID THIS!

Right off my bookcase in my dining room area was PERFECT!

I took some prelim pics and *GASP*....I...AM....HUGE!!

I am RIGHTTHERE whicha on the whole "I'm not THAT big!" thoughts and attitude. Man, once I saw myself in those photos last night I almost WEPT! I am not joking! I know that I SEE myself in the mirror every day.... but I never *SEE* myself. Those pics put ME right up in my face.... and I SERIOUSLY do NOT like what I saw AT ALL!!!

Well, once the elliptical gets here it goes right into the living room in front of the telly. There are certain shows I just ~have to~ see and, as a bargain to myself, I will ~have to~ be on the elliptical machine to watch them! Sounds like a pretty good idea no?!?!?!?

Also, after the hubby leaves for Afghanistan, I'll move the mini trampoline and the free weights into the living room. Hell, I never have anyone over to the house so I can turn the LR into my own personal gym!!!

Well, EvieBoo... I wish you'd had a better BD.... and my 38th birthday is a goal time for ME as well! I want to lose at least 50 pounds/be in a size 14 jeans by then!! My mini goals will be the 1st of every month and I will set the goals then.

January mini goal: 10 pound loss

Ok... this may sound silly... but have you thought about buying 2 or 4, 32 ounce sports bottles? I have 4 of them myself. If you drink 2 a day, you got in your 8-8ounce servings of wadda. I find it a lot easier to gauge how much water I've had using the bottles as reference. I have 2 blue topped and 2 green topped. I am drinking the blue topped bottles today. I found them at Super Walmart for $1.53 apiece over in the storage container aisles.

Another trick you could use it to eat spicier food. It makes you automatically drink water.

That's about all from me today!

KISSES

thanks for the birthday wishes! -- still didnt get one from the hubby though... i could just smack that man.

went to Sears tonight... lots of fun playing on those eliptacles. i might have to get one of those myself! for now i have my ablounger and my tredmil and a ball -- i have some rubber band arm thingys too lol

Boudica · 12-30-2007, 05:39 PM

Hey EJ... I would be MORE THAN THRILLED to send you my Billy Blanks Bootcamp DVDs. They aren't 'too hard' for me, but too hard on my joints.

And Try This:

Maybe the DH will remember then!!!

It's funny. Although I have been eating off plan for a awhile now... I give myself a start date to get back ON plan... giving myself permission to *cheat* until then... and I eat HEALTHIER than I HAVE been!!!! AUGH!!!!

I am sitting here with this HUGE bowl of salad greens, some southwestern chicken breast strips in it with black olives, bacon bits, raw broccoli, parmesan cheese and some ranch dressing. I shoulda gotten a burger or somethin!!!!

Boudica · 12-30-2007, 05:48 PM

For DH and I, it was a toss up between the elliptical and a treadmill.

AT first he wanted a treadmill until I explained how the elliptical was a lot easier on my muscles and joints, burned MORE calories and had more settings on it. Plus, I told him... if he wanna walk.. he can head outta da door!

Besides, he isn't going to be here for 15 months come this Feb/March.... so *I* win!!!

Soooooo. What are the NYE plans?

erg1269 · 12-30-2007, 06:25 PM

no plans on this end of the world! i think my kids are leaving me to go to their friends
and hubby will be working --- so it'll be me, myself and I and 4 little poochies just a hanging out

erg1269 · 12-30-2007, 06:27 PM

probably just sit at home and do laundry...the never ending ---are we there yet --- laundry
