Making it Happen in 2008 - Page 8

LOL I try to be good :P

Today's update:

Progress:

1 144.6
2 142.8
3 142.8
4 141.2
5 140.8
6 139.6

Have a family party / bbq to go to today. It's going to be super hot again - I think the high is 90. I got a good tan on yesterday! It was about 100 at my house. Yikes. Food yesterday was OK - it was much too hot to cook and I got in a fight with DH so I ended up not eating enough. So, that's why my weight is down today I think. I am going to have a few drinks today at the party (fresh mint mojitos.. you can't beat that) and be good about food so I might be up in weight tomorrow. The party is at my sisters and we are going to load up my bike basket and ride over there. It's about a 30 min bike ride but all flat. I am also planning on lifting weights today as well. Gotta earn those drinks, yanno!

Hey girl! Look at you sitting nicely in the 130's!! That is awesome!

Sorry about stuff with DH...I can let you borrow my frying pan to knock some sense in... LOL How was the BBQ? I cannot believe you are dealing with the 90's! We are, but that's to be expected.

Hugs!

WTG jana !

Hope you enjoyed the party.

janamonkey · 05-18-2008, 06:20 PM

Hi guys

!

The party was fun. I did good for eats, and had some good drinks too

We rode over there, and OMG it was so hot I was sweating like a pig.

I was so tired when I got home I just fell asleep and apparently my DH was trying to talk to me and I was talking about food to him in my sleep. LOL! I can't get diets off my brain!

Progress:

1 144.6
2 142.8
3 142.8
4 141.2
5 140.8
6 139.6 BBQ/RFish
7 140.8

Anyway, with the bike riding to work I am thinking about tweaking the psmf for some more food around my rides. Especially the way there is pretty hilly and a good workout. More about that tomorrow.

janamonkey · 05-19-2008, 10:05 AM

Yesterday wasn't such a good day! Well, actually I had a Great day but eating... ehh I wasn't hungry until like 7 at night, and then I had a few indiscretions.. oh well. Back on it today, one week till vacation!

Weight 141.8

janamonkey · 05-20-2008, 06:56 AM

Okay! Countdown to Baseball games!

5/19 141.8
5/20 141.0

All of the sudden it turned from 90's and sunshine to 60's and rain here. I woke up to ride my bike this morning and it's pouring rain. So, I'm enjoying a cup of coffee at the computer. We leave Monday morning, I am excited to have a long weekend. I'm pretty sure the weather is supposed to clear up in a few days too.

Tylar_Connar · 05-20-2008, 07:15 AM

Tylar_Connar · 05-20-2008, 07:17 AM

Thanks Tylar!

Quick update - free meal last night, my husband's sister had a baby

weight today 141.6

godsbeloved79 · 05-23-2008, 11:56 AM

Congrats on the new addition to your family

.

You are really sporting those shades in your avatar my girl

.

I just noticed that we have almost the same start weight

. So I can make it below 150

.

janamonkey · 05-24-2008, 10:15 AM

Well, I'm back from the depths of the flu. I woke up yesterday night and was starving for lentils! I ate a ton of lentils last night (assuming it was the protein/carb combo my body wanted), then later a turkey sandwich. I feel so so so much better today. A little bloated, but that's okay.

Today's weight 143.6. Hopefully I can drop a few pounds of water before monday!

janamonkey · 05-25-2008, 01:42 PM

Weight is the same today.

Man, I have had the poo-iest week ever. Sickness, work, and yesterday I got bit by the neighbors dog when I was riding my bike home during a Huge rain/thunder/lightning storm I got caught in.

Who gets bit by dogs?

At least I figure things pretty much can't get much worse.

godsbeloved79 · 05-28-2008, 01:33 PM

Hey jana,

Sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well and about the Dog bite. Are you ok? Did you have to go to the hospital. Man oh man, what a day. Here's hoping that today was better

.

Fifi · 06-02-2008, 07:20 AM

Hi Jana! Love the avatar! Sorry about the dog bite! Hope you are feeling better.

Happy June!

janamonkey · 06-12-2008, 09:52 AM

oh, I'm terrible. I just couldn't get going again since vacation. I've be on plan for the last two week almost and still, weighing in at 143 pounds. grr.

On a better note I gave up my car for my bike. I haven't driven my car for two weeks

Thanks. Nice to hear that things are better for you.

janamonkey · 06-19-2008, 08:28 PM

Still hanging around 143

I've been bike commuting for 4 weeks now. Not a pound lost, of course, but I feel amazing and it is not really that bad. Only about 10 minutes longer than in my car anyway, and way way way quicker than the bus. I also do my errands on my bike too so I think I'm riding over 100 miles a week. More than anything I'm so happy about the money we've saved. I have spend 20$ on gas in 6 weeks!

janamonkey · 06-20-2008, 07:01 AM

142.2

Overate yesterday, whoooppps!

godsbeloved79 · 06-20-2008, 07:34 PM

Hey jana,

WTG on being a good stewart with the gas

. Every penny counts !
