SUPPORT

The support I have recieved at Buddy Slim has been awesome! Without the tremendous support I have recieved at Buddy Slim, I would not have come this far. Although I know that my hubby loves me and is proud of me he doesn’t understand my needs. My buddies understand as we are going through this journey together.

INSPIRATION

The inspiration comes from reading my buddies blogs and seeing those weight tickers changes. I am inspired by their day to day struggles, too the great successes they have or are achieving.

MOTIVATION

I get so motivated when I get a booster note saying, YOU CAN DO IT! Or a message saying GET MOVING, GIRL OR I AM GOING TO KICK YOUR BUTT!

I am so happy and proud to be a member of the Buddy Slim Community!

We are going to a cook-out at my step moms today! I am going prepared. I am making my oriental coleslaw, and I my hubby is making a lighter version of his banana surprise. My step mom is getting turkey burgers for her and I and anyone else that wants to try them. I am taking fat free cheese and my own bread (no white buns for me)! I am learning as long as I go to cook-outs prepared I don’t do to bad. This is not a diet, I just need to choose healthier!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! My break is almost over. I go back to work tomorrow. I will have shorter work days, but no break to come home like during the regular school year. The school we transport to is almost an hour from home and they only have half day, so we are there for the whole day. I don’t mind this for the most part as they have a great  thrift store, yard sales and farmers markets to keep us entertained while we wait for the kids to get done school.

Well off to get things done before the cook out!

Many HUGS!

Hello all my wonderful buddies! I hope you are all having a Wonderful 4th of July. I am a little down in the dumps today! Hubby is working his weekend job. I try not to complain because we need the extra money right now for roof repairs and some other home improvements. I hope he gets home in time for a nice dinner I have planned for us, and then go see the fireworks, and maybe run into the kids and grandkids. My kids and grandkids are all off with friends today.

No, Jane it isn’t turkey burgers tonight. I am making a nice steak, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and cinnamon crumb cake. I have my whole day planned! If I don’t plan ahead I always go over my calorie limit. I have already journaled my day except for snacks and I actually have enough calories for that if I want.

Sunday is a big picnic with family at my step moms. That is the day I will have to have more will power. At least I know my step mom is buying turkey burgers! I love turkey burgers!

Have a super day, buddies!

I had to make a decision. I can’t afford to join Curves and get satelite internet. I am so sick of my dial up. Whenever I get a lot of rain it messes with my dial up. Either I can’t get on at all or if I do I can’t blog. I need my buddies! Everyone here offers me so much support, motivation and inspiration. I would not have come as far as I have without all of you.

Well the picnic on Friday went okay. Even dealing with comments like What are you to good to eat the meat here? I just said no it is not that, I don’t eat much beef and this is better for me. Oh well that is their problem not mine.

Yesterday I did 32 min. of excercise. I have been trying to find something that I will be able to fit into my schedule when I go back to work. It so happens I had a DVD that is broken up into 5 ……8 min. segments. It is Core workouts, ABS, ARMS, THIGHS, BUNS, and STRETCH. The whole DVD would be 40 min. but I just could not do most of the BUNS (I guess until I can accomplish these I will just have to have saggy buns)! I did 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I know I can find time to do it this way. I will be able to do at least 16 min. before going to work and do the rest when I get home. My summer schedule I am home around 1:30 so I have plenty of time before hubby gets home. I still don’t do my excercises in front of him.

Well I am off to check the forums, journal my food and check a few blogs before I excercise.  I hope my connection will hold out until then.

Hope you are all having a good week!
