Hump day update - gorgeous day!

A nice sunny day love these days! Still a little cool but at least the Sun is out. Monday was so cold that the heat in the house went on! Hopefully our summer comes out soon! Actually I take that back, soon but I also need to get bikini ready which I am not!

I Did my weigh in today and I am exactly the same! I need to boost this up! I've been reading other blogs and I read that Acai pills or Hoodia are really good to aid in weight loss. When I was younger I was obsessed with weight loss pills, I would take anything that sounded promising. I even bought these "Brazilian Diet pills" From a customer from a job I was at for something like 300 dollars for a month in a half! I was crazy! They did work tho. My friend and I still laugh about it because we lost a lot of weight but once off them we both gained double the weight back!!!!!

So I'm verrrry sceptical these days about taking anything different. However, I am feeling a little desperate these days.

I added lunges to my daily routine. I'm more bottom heavy and my thighs are my main issue! My thighs prevent me from finding good fitting pants, and Jeans, ha! forget it! I own only 1 pair and not a fan of how I look in them..I hate it! Tights and long tops have become my daily wear.

I've been doing well with my pedometer, I love how I'm constantly aware of how many steps I do. I haven't hit the park yet so my yesterday and monday I only got up to 7500 and 5500 steps, but today I will reach my 10000 or above when I hit the trails!

Packing the house for the move is almost done ;) I have some empty rooms now. I have mixed feelings of happiness and sadness all mixed together lol whaa to that!

Feel'n gloomy on this gloomy Monday

I wish I got more ZZZZZZ's last night. I was awake all night coughing like crazy. I'm pretty sure that the Asthma meds made me sick, I have a horrible sore throat and coughing soo much. I slept on the living room couch yesterday cause I felt bad waking up the husband coughing all night when he had work this morn. I can tell you I feel horrible today, I went out for lunch and grabbed a latte and right now I'm still dosing off as I'm writing. Not a good start of the week! whaa!

I didn't do a weigh in today, maybe I will be brave on my Wednesday update. I've been doing good and bad. My pedometer is really a great help and I get excited to increase the steps cause it's so fun! Ok so last weeks goals are below, let's see how I did...

1. Continue cooking at home ( I did really well all week, however we did eat out a couple times on the weekend ;( Below was one of the meals I made. Haddock kabob with spinach salad, rice and a samosa YUM!

2. Limit or fully cut out fast food, no fries! (eee had fries once this week ;(
3. No coffee shop foods, only coffee ( Had timbits, not thaaaat bad lol)
4. Workout 3-5 times a week (1hour workouts) ( 4 times)
5. 1 minute push ups everyday (only 3 times)
6. 1 minute jumping on trampoline (i'll move my trampoline to the first floor, my husband said he dosnt want me breaking the house before our move hahahah! Nice huh. ( Did not get a chance to jump around lol)
7. Try and relax and not let stress get to me, read every night before bed to relax my mind (Tried but the move is really stressing us both out and we are fighting a lot!)

For this week I'm going to make similar goals and minusing out some previous ones.

1. Continue cooking at home
2. Limit or fully cut out fast food, no fries!
3. No coffee shop foods, only coffee
4. Workout 3-5 times a week (1hour workouts) and/or 10000 steps on the pedometer.
5. No eating after 7pm. ( I did this a couple times last week and weight was down the next morning, sounds good to me!)


Keeping it short and simple this week ;)

Not so bad, but not good enough!

I had to post the pic of the yummy desserts at my mom's bbq this weekend. I must say that I was very proud of myself I used my 3 bite rule, and ate much less than half of that brownie, and I also waited till everyone picked the desserts they wanted so there wasn't any left for seconds! Good idea huh ;)

My goal last week was to really try and combine healthy eating and exercise and control evening binges. So far I've been good some days and not so good other days.

This weeks goals;

1.Workout 1 hour 5 days a week (I am going to try my very best to get out to the park mon-thurs and sunday)

2. I will also add 1 min of push ups (as on my fellow blogger WeightLossWeekly Blog)

3. No coffee shop treats at all this week! Only coffee allowed ;0

4. Cook at home all week. This I can do, the weekends I need to work harder on.

5. If fast food comes in the picture, choose healthier choice and no fries!

Since I have been working slowly on all these changes I am confident I can achieve these goals this week! ;) I think my Hump Day Wednesday post will be better this week .... fingers crossed!

Still afraid to do my weigh in, I really do not want to see it higher than last week. Should I just go for it and use it to motivate me, or just wait another week. So not a fan of that SCALE!
