So hot

Sabriena — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:48:27 +0000

We woke up entirely too late and went on our walk anyway. It was so hot. We really have to begin setting our alarm to do it earlier. Shaina and Colton went on our walk with us and brought along Xena and Star. So we had the six of us (3 people and 3 dogs) that went on the walk. The dogs loved it and all came home and passed out. Cuties.

I came home and had some fruit with yogurt for breakfast. For lunch I had whole wheat spaghetti noodles with peppers and some sausage in it. It was good. Haven’t decided on dinner yet. Hrm.

On our walk

This morning on our walk we went to the park as usual. Well, we usually let Ruby off her leash to run around the park and tire her out. She loves it and it gives me a good little rest before walking back home. Today Ruby was showing her skills on the playground equipment. It amazes me how she can jump off and on this 5ft tall piece of equipment then proceed to run all around the park and in the little creek we let her go into and then still have energy!

We’ve gone on morning walks 3 days in a row which is good. Haven’t had anything bad and have been doing pretty darn good on my food and actually eating! So far so good! I haven’t decided when exactly my weigh day should be. Probably Monday though. That seems good.

Deer during the walk

This morning Jamie, Ruby, and I went on our walk this morning. I think we went too late because it was still getting a bit warm out. We left around 9:30 in the morning but we’ll just have to go earlier tomorrow.

On our way to the park we got to see a deer. The deer was drinking from a little creek that is near the park. Unfortunately it ran away before Jamie could snap a picture of it. It was beautiful though and made the walk even more enjoyable.

Ruby enjoyed being at the park and running around it. I wore shoes without socks and got some blisters on my heels. So, I walked barefoot some of the way home! I don’t see how I did it while I was a kid!

Pathetic

So as you can probably tell I haven’t done anything to get healthy. In fact, I have been doing the exact opposite. I got on the scale this morning at was horrified. I am almost at the same weight when I started the last time. Seriously? Exercising and eating right is it from now on. I am only going to use coffee with creamer for a morning treat in the mornings. I am going to start setting a scheduled time to walk in the mornings and I am going to go whether I want to or not. This is pathetic. This is it.

Yesterdays Day Off

Sabriena — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:34:55 +0000

Yesterday we didn’t walk so I am counting that as our day off. It wasn’t officially but it was the first day we hadn’t walked in the last couple of days so that is what I am leaving it at. However, the food was still on key. For dinner I got to use my new (and bigger than my old) George Foreman grill. We had Tilapia, butter & herb wild rice and cottage cheese. It was delicious.

Tonight we are going on our walk when it gets cooler.

Back to walking

Sabriena — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:57:37 +0000

Go figure that when it’s the hottest I am going back to walking. Last night we went out at around 10pm due to it being so hot. That time was no good either because it was still hot out.

The real problem with the heat I see right now is that it does take away my appetite. I just don’t want to eat anything when I am sweating and so hot. I am drinking lots of water. Here’s hoping I can actually stick to the walking this time around.

Lunch - workin’ it

So today for lunch I decided to not take the easy frozen way out. This morning I figured that I always am waiting about 15-20 minutes for something to heat in the oven anyway that I might as well wait that long for a piece of chicken to cook in the George Foreman grill. So, for lunch I had cottage cheese, salad with basalmic vingearette, and a piece of chicken with a tiny bit of Fajita marinade on it. It was super delicious. In fact, I am thinking of making lunches like that from now on. It really doesn’t take that much out of my day and it is a lot more healthy for me!

Walking Around

Sabriena — Fri, 02 May 2008 16:39:37 +0000

I know I haven’t been so active blogging but I have been doing my walking. We even got prong collars for the dogs so they are better behaved on the leashes. It has worked wonders because I am able to walk one of them myself. We went on a walk yesterday for about 30 minutes I think it was and this morning we went on a little walk for about 30 minutes or a tad bit more again. Man did I sweat! There is a nice wind but it is hot still. I feel good about going out and getting a walk in so early though.

Had some breakfast this morning. Not focusing on food right now but also am trying not to eat so horribly. I have weighed myself here and there but nothing official yet because the first week I really didn’t try too hard. There was a pound loss shown but I am not going by that. I will however start weighing officially this next week. Perhaps I will make Monday my weigh days. Mondays usually suck so I don’t know if I want to add weight into the mix. I’m still deciding on a day! Just wanted to say that I am walking and trying!

30 Minute Walk

Sabriena — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:16:26 +0000

Last night Jamie, my mom, little brother, and the dogs all went on a walk. We went for about 30 minutes! Hey, it’s a start! I bought some strawberries at the store yesterday. They were $1.19 or something cheap like that for a container of them. A far cry from the $4-$5 it was before. Going on a walk again tonight and after the walk I am going to do some exercises on the bow flex thing. I guess that would be weight training!

Starting fresh

Sabriena — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:21:49 +0000

So after months of being inactive on this website and my diet I am ready to get back into the swing of it! To kick this newly formed attitude and since it is a new time of trying to lose the weight, I revamped the website. I am more or less starting all over with it. I deleted the previous website and am working on making everything fresh. This layout is super cute and bright and is just what I wanted to be back in the swing of things.

So, today Jamie and I did some weight training. Yesterday we got a bow-flex type machine for free and I plan on putting it to good use. In the evenings we are going to start walking which is fantastic. That is starting tomorrow.

I am still doing this to this website so a lot of things may be missing and not here so don’t worry! It’s coming!
