Weigh in Friday...

It's that time again...I got on the scale and still lost a pound since last weigh in but I'm SURE if I got rid of some of what's lurking in my intestines...I would have lost 2 pounds. It's been a few days since I've gone...urgh - a little TOO much information there! Still doing rebounding...I find it boring but it's DEFINATLEY something that I can do that doesn't hurt my SI so I'll continue doing it.

Not sure what's going to happen since we'll be on a mission trip next week...I won't really be able to watch what I eat too much cause I'll have to eat food they have there...we'll see. We're leaving each morning around 7am so I'm not sure I'll get a chance to exercise.

If anyone stops by here...please pray for us next week...we'll be ministering to 75 kids so LOTS of prayer would be GREAT!!!

I'm still here...

Well - I seem to be doing pretty good "periodically" with my weight loss. I've been jumping on the mini trampoline each day since we got it...I love it!!! Still watching what I'm eating and have lost a total of 4 pounds so far.

Rebounding...

I was on craigslist today and found a 55" mini trampoline for $5...WOW - this is bargain week for us since we just got our bike rack yesterday brand new from goodwill for $25...woot hoot!!!

According to Dr. Asa Andrew rebounding can burn as many calories as jogging. So tonight...I began my 10 minutes of rebounding...seemed like it took forever but it was a nice change to be able to jump, jog, and dance type movements on the mini trampoline.

Thursday - I'll weigh in again and see what's been happening...

Hey Bloggy land...

Well - it's been a week or so since I checked in...not that it matters since no one reads this but oh well.

I was doing REALLY well with exercising and stuff until I hurt my SI exercising on Thursday and since then I haven't really been doing much.

My hubby noticed that I was looking a bit thinner...not sure if that's good or not. you know, does that mean he thought I was heavier and just wasn't telling me???

I went to the Muny on Saturday night and ate WAY too much...oh well, I am feeling pretty good right now so I'm hoping to continue watching what I eat and exercising some tomorrow...we'll see.

Day 5 check in...

Hello to my bloggy land friends...how are you doing? I think I'm doing pretty good here. I have walked a mile everyday except yesterday - although I did enough activity yesterday to make up for it. I'm still watching my calorie intake and pretty much have had no sweets...as long as I stay away from Maggie Moo's - I should be pretty good...I hope.

I've been looking at this and wondering if it works??? If it does, I wonder if you can move the gel pads and place them on your love handle areas. :-) Don't have the funds right now to get it so I guess I'll have to continue to wonder.

Hope everyone is doing good - I plan to weigh in on Thursday or Friday...I hope I've made some progress as things are beginning to at least feel better on me. Have a blessed day!!!

It's Saturday...Hope you had a GREAT day!

Well - I think I'm doing pretty good so far...at least I'm FEELING good and have LOTS of energy!!! The Coconut Oil has helped me SO much with energy...I haven't weighed myself and I won't until next Thursday or Friday. I've walked the mile each day since Thursday...I know that's only 3 days but I'm really doing it and loving it.

I've been doing smaller portions and limited sweets - I'm wondering if the theory of limited carbs for 3 days and then eat whatever you want on the 3rd day so your body doesn't get used to it and never plateaus...I don't know. I'm going to test the theory and see.

If you stop by...hi - leave me a comment so I can get to know you!

Happy Friday!

Last night I tried to be good on my eating at the meeting I went to - I only had about a spoonful of the two desserts so I was happy about that.

When I got home I decided to do the Leslie Sansone "Walk Away the Pounds" 1 mile dvd...my goal will be to do that every day - except Sunday's - until next Friday when I hope to begin the 2 mile walk and work my way up from there...we shall see. I used to LOVE to run but since my knee surgery in 2006 - running is now out of my life. I can't even do a treadmill...they said the best thing will be an elliptical. I'm hoping the walking will begin to stabilize my SI joint. I might possibly mix the walk with the 10 minute trainer every other day.

Did you know there is a study out that says you actually lose weight when you sleep 7.5 hours a night? Here's the studyif you want to check it out for yourself.

So here are some of my goals:

* 5 bottles of water a day
* Juice Plus, Juice Plus Vineyard; 4000iu Vitamin D3; Fish Oil; 3-4 tbs Coconut Oil
* Walk a mile
* Monitor food intake stay around 1200 calories
* Limit all sugar intake

If anyone stops by here...I'd love it if you'd leave a comment. Happy Friday to you!
