Rough day sleeping today, I worked last night and I have to work tonight.  I am moving a little slow today, so I decided to take the dog on a walk instead of walking on the treadmill.  It was misting out, but it was a nice brisk walk an the dog enjoyed it.  My sisters an I are going to do the St Malachi run/walk on March 16th.  It should be fun.

Another week is almost done and we have are first weigh in since the contest has started.  Good luck every one.  I went to boot camp tonight, it was a really good work out.  I really enjoy every ones positive attitudes when we work out.  Remember to take one day at a time, if we mess up one day, there is always tomorrow that we can get back on track.

The sun is out and it is beautiful.  I went to boot camp this morning and I can say I am still finding muscles that I did not remember having.  It was a good work out and I can not wait for the next one.  Keep up the good work everyone, it will pay off.

It's been a busy week, I made chocolate covered strawberries for Valentines Day for our local florist shop, around 37 lbs of strawberries.  I only had on chocolate strawberry and a few berries without chocolate.  Went to boot camp last night, another wonderful workout.  I got up today an felt energetic, so I walked on the treadmill or I should say I walked and jogged on the treadmill.  I am going to go to boot camp on Saturday morning.  Just remember one step at a time keeps us moving forward towards our goal for a healthy future.

I went to bootcamp workout yesterday morning, another great workout.  I am feeling it a little in my legs today, it's a good sore.  It's so beautiful outside with the sun out.  I am going to walk on the treadmill when I get up from my nap, I have to work tonight.

Things are going well, I went to bootcamp last night another wonderful workout.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I can not say enough on how lucky we are to be able to take advantage of this opportunity to take this classes. It is an extreme motivator for me to get moving even more than I am.  Although I was a little sore this morning, I did walk on the treadmill 2.5 miles.  Remember to drink a lot of water, I usually drink between 60 to 100 oz. a day or more.

I took advantage of the offer at Cabana's Restaurant this afternoon, very nice.  I had the Chicken Romano served on pasta with green beans, it was 510 calories, it was very tasty.  I walked today on the treadmill, it was a nice walk a little over 2 miles.

Feb 3, 2013 blog

Wow, it's February and we are 2 weeks into our 6 month journey.  I am getting into a routine of writting everything down and walking or doing some kind of exercise daily.  Bootcamp workout was good again on Thursday, still kicked my backside.  I am going to try to do both work outs this week.  Reality hit today when my family got to see the article in the News Hearld and now they know how much I really weight.  That's even a bigger motivator, because next time it will be lower.  On the lighter side, I was walking on my treadmill today and my 3 year old grandson was watching me walk on it.  He looked up at me with his big brown eyes an said " good job gramma", made my day.
