I went to my friend Yvette's Tastefully Simple party.  I can't remember what I bought, but it was for making dips and flavoring things.  Yvette got herself a nice little house.  I'm very proud of her - I wish I had myself that together when I was her age. 


I got home and shared some of the Watermelon I bought with the chickens.


I got back on Sparkpeople today.  The weight has to go - I'm getting to old to haul it around anymore.  I dusted off my heart monitor and my workout DVD's and I'm going to get back on the fitness saddle.  To keep myself honest I'm commiting to posting my progress daily (I'll do it behind a cut) - this will be 1. - what I ate (in general) 2. - calories 3. - what I did for exercise that day.

You're lucky to have gym access. I always thought physically going to the gym was motivation in itself.

I'm getting too old to haul it around, too!

Unfortunately I don't have much time to exercise, and even worse, can't afford to be physically tired, which effects my mental capabilities etc. It's a vicious circle :(

I am getting as much exercise as possible in my holidays.

Good luck with your regime. I hope it works for you!

I will follow with curiosity :)

I love those two pictures, you two ladies are so pretty :)

Have you ever thought of opening a Flickr account? to upload your pics to,to show the world?

www.flickr.com

Do you by any chance have a large (the original) image of the chickens eating the watermelon? I love that picture and I think many would. If possible, I'd like to show it on my public blog - if you are okay about that, can you send me the original image and I will put it on my blog, with credit to yourself of course. It's a great pic!

Wow, I'm flattered - Thank you! - When I saw the picture I decided it'd go on my windows wallpaper at work. You can post or do whatever you'd like with any of my pictures :-) I keep my photos on Photobucket.com. I basically just use PBucket as a dumping ground for pics I post here. Someday I will tag them all over there. Here is the link to the original picture: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v129/dvmarie/LJ%20JUNE%2008/?action=view¤t=IMGP1053.jpg

You are SO pretty... AND I perfectly understand what you're saying. The weight feels... well... HEAVY!

I had another melt down myself this weekend after seeing these horrible pictures of myself and feeling so unhappy with how I look. I wish I could get going with working out consistently. And I knew what the heck to even eat... my eating thing is all goofed up.

Maybe you'll be my inspiration! I rooting for you!!

Oh, my girls LOVE watermelon!!!! (me too) They eat it all the way to the outer rind!

Check out www.sparkpeople.com It's free, and you can use it however you want. There is a program you can follow from day one and they coach you through a few months. You can also log in just to log food/workout. It's very motivational. I'm Eats_Veggies there too if you end up joining :-)

When I look in the MIRROR I like what I see - but when I see me in a photograph (which is a more objective source) I am very unhappy with my weight and my look. I want to work on this for myself. I want to look on the outside how I feel on the inside. Damn, I knew I shouldn't have gone to see "Wanted" .... :-)

I just did! I followed your link and I liked it.. usually I don't. That Jillian whoever bugs me no end! This one seems every HELPFUL! I already got on the elliptical (2 minutes but... hey! I wasn't on yesterday for one second) I'll get the overview of the website a bit better and start it... probably... I have to get that YES kind of feeling to make the committment!

"When I look in the MIRROR I like what I see - but when I see me in a photograph..."

TOTALLY! ME TOO! I could cry with these horrible pictures I see of myself.

Angelina is a skeletal woman.. I think it's gone a bit overboard in Hollywood (whether it's her emotions and mom dying or whatever.. I can understand ...but) Enough is enough in terms of examples of beauty in this society!

We need SOME flesh... though it looks like I need to lose 40 lbs of the stuff! Yoiks! I suffered & bit the bullet and lost 35 lbs a few years ago & then gained it ALL back! Then tried South Beach with my friend who lost 35 lbs & I gained 1! hahahaha I will have to be emotionally ready for the buffering to fall off.. less protection!

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

I agree - I liked her best in Tomb Raider - her body was perfect. I have more than 40lb to lose (we'll just leave it at that....hahaha).

[walksbeauty.livejournal.com]

I actually have more than 40, too, I just can't think about more.. it's too overwhelming.. I'd just like to weigh what I did *before* 2 kids instead of what I weighed when I was pregnant. Sad but true....

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

LoL - hahaha - same here!! :)

[reyvin.livejournal.com]

Oooo, good luck on the weight loss! Though honestly, you're so cute and pretty already...you're gonna be a knock out.

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

Awwww - thank you for that. I'm more of a tomboy than anything else. Losing weight for me would really help me be as rough and tumble as I'd like. I miss being physical; I think I steer away from it because of my weight.

I love your chickens, great shot with the watermelon.

You go girl! I can see you walking and biking already :)

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

If I can get my butt down to a size that doesn't look absurd on a mountain bike - I will start biking :-)
