Work It Out Wednesday

Hello Everyone,

So this week I’ve done a lot better with my exercise. I even got exercise in on the weekend!! I am still only doing 30 minutes a day alternating days between walking and riding my bike. Tomorrow I go back to get the ok or the not ok to workout a little longer every day.

I have been really looking at the EA Sports Active game for Wii. I have heard some good things about it. My daughter has the Wii Fit board but I think I am going to try the EA Sports before I ask to borrow her Wii Fit.

So let me know if any of you have tried it and what you think.

Since starting the Crystal Lite challenge I have been getting in all of my water. So that is always a plus.

As far as my diet is going I haven’t really blogged about it in my WIOW posts. I am eating a light breakfast but a big lunch and if I do eat dinner it is usually light too.

Hop on over to Sherrie’s blog and check out her WIOW.

Have a blessed day!

Work It Out Wednesday -- Week 5

Hello Everyone,



Time to confess my sins. lol Not really but it is time to blog about my sweat sessions workouts for this week. First let me say that since I have joined in on the Crystal Lite Challenge I have indeed been doing great with drinking my water. Every day!!

I have only worked out three days this week though. So that is basically an hour and a half of work during a 7 day period. Not good, not good at all. Does this really matter? Yes it does because I have gained 2 lbs. So I am really going to kick it in gear this week. I had been losing steadily every week and could tell in my clothes.

I am not going to let this get to me though. I can only do a half hour a day until the 25th when I go back to the doctor's so more time isn't the answer for now. Doing it every day is! Now all I have to do is get my big butt up for only 30 minutes a day. How hard can that be?

Sherrie always includes some great tips on her Work It Out Wednesday's posts. I won't be doing that but thought I'd share from time to time some things that I have done. I like the Weight Watcher's Smart Ones meals. I like a lot of their meals and their desserts. The two I like the best are Chicken Enchiladas Suiza and Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans. I have put both of these on a baked potato (not at the same time lol) - yummy! I have also bought baked tortilla chips and put them both (not at the same time lol) on the chips and top with lettuce. I find that I am really full and both of these taste great!

Hop over to Sherrie's blog to give her and the other participants some encouragement!! Or you can join in on the torture fun! Until next time

Have a blessed day!

Work It Out Wednesday

Hello Everyone,




Last week and Saturday I got in my daily walk and every other day bike ride. I have been sick since Sunday and haven't done anything this week. I have been really doing well with my water intake. I also haven't gained any weight back! That's about all I have to report on me this Wednesday. I am feeling really good today so probably will get back to my walking and bike riding.

Work It Out Wednesday

Hello Everyone,




Well I did a lot better this week. I walked for half an hour three days and rode my bike once! Hey that's a lot for me; seeing that I am still feeling very nauseous from my new meds and still feeling very weak.

Maybe next week I will be able to start in with the weights. I have several of The Firm DVD's and 2 lb weights. Now I know 2 lb weights aren't much but hey you have to start somewhere!

I have lost a couple more pounds and my pants are really loose on me. My hubs calls my pants saggy baggies lol. I'll be late in posting comments as my day is going to be really busy tomorrow so it'll probably be tomorrow night before I get around to commenting to the other participates.

Well that's it for my Work It Out Wednesday hop over to Sherrie's blog and encourage other participates or join in on the sweat fun. Until next time


Have a blessed day!

Work It Out Wednesday

Hello Everyone,



So Sherrie over at Boogers, Screams, Headaches and Dreams is doing a Work It Out Wednesday meme. Since my doctor told me I could go back to walking this past week; I thought I would start it this week. I said I thought I would start it this week.

I did try. But you see my lazy tired butt only did it for one day. But you know it was a holiday weekend. I mean, Saturday I was going to but laying around in my pj's got in the way. Then on Sunday I definitely wanted to but well, laying around in my pj's got in the way. So on Monday I thought ok I will do it today. And I did. Well, I mean I did look at my treadmill. Then I pulled it out. I then plugged it in. Then I proceeded to get my water and change out of my pj's into my workout outfit. But then . . . well it didn't happen.

So yesterday I tried again and I got in 30 minutes. Yay!!!! I actually can't do weight training for another couple of weeks, my weakness and dizziness is still pretty bad. But when I do I will definitely let you know.

On the good news side I have lost 40 lbs in the last 1 1/2 years. And this last couple of months I have lost another 10. So I am good with losing weight. It helped that my husband was out of town because I wasn't cooking dinner. Just had a big breakfast and a big lunch and really maybe a sandwich at night. This week I have seen an additional 2 lbs dropped just from laying around in my pj's all day. lol So that is my first Work It Out Wednesday!

My daughter and her family came back from vacation and I went to see them yesterday. I missed them so bad. They had a great trip to Gatlinburg and of course she brought us back presents. I love getting cookbooks, recipes etc. etc. Every time she goes somewhere she brings me back a cookbook. This time she brought me back 2. I just love them. I also love the fact that they are back home! Until next time

Have a blessed day!
