130 by 5/30 Update No. 39
Down another LB!! (Hazzah!)
This week was totally about diet. Not exactly dieting, but just making sure I didn’t overeat. Sunday I did a bunch of walking which was immediately squaltched by the giant breakfast at Hash House A Go Go. But for the rest of the week I didn’t do a lot of exercise.
I’m proving to myself that it is at least 90% what you eat and then every bit of exercise helps accelerate results.
There are 2 weeks left until my original deadline… the adjusted goal is to break 160. I’ve got a pound and a half to clear it. There is a new gym around the block that is offering free 10 days of classes, I plan to use that as my sprint to the finish line.
But that isn’t really the finish line, the journey will continue because my ultimate goal is to loose another 30 pounds which will put me at a healthy BMI and size for my stature. But I’m going to have a new name for the updates. Current options include; Seize Size Six, Heading Towards Healthy or Operation Hot Mother. I’m still brainstorming ideas… whaddya think?
We ❤ cheery desktop #decor.
I have so many of these things and I’ve just been reminded that I need a mouse pad!! I want to know who’s desk this is! :)
I. can. not. wait.
New Arrested Development, May 23rd,
All episodes at once.
If Netflix has some sort of issue with their bandwidth I will lose it.
If you do not watch AD, you still have time to catch up. There are 53 episodes at about 30 minutes each which is 26.5 hours of greatness. Then on the 23rd there are supposed to be 15 more episodes available.
I cannot wait. I love the Bluth’s.
Cousins who have babies are the bestest.
Saturday I got to spend the day playing around with this little charmer, Callie who is celebrating her first birthday. She had us all over to her house to play with her dog, toys and share some cake. It was a really fun day spent with family.
I got the “babies” question thrice over the weekend and for the record there IS a general timeline in place for us to start a family… three years from today. And if you ask me next week it’ll be 3 years from that day.
Saturday evening we went to Blue Frog Karaoke with Danny’s parents and Katie and Ben. I discovered that Thong Song makes the perfect selection. I’ll be requesting it next time.
Sunday morning we walked in the Susan G. Komen Mother’s Day 5K. It was a chilly but beautiful morning. We moved at a good clip and finished in 50 minutes! Then we made our way to Hash House A Go Go where the largest breakfasts ever were served up. It was delicious but I could have been satisfied by half of it. But, it was delicious.
Sunday afternoon I set up the home bar, bought and planted basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano and sweet mint. The rail planter that I found would not fit our railing so I have the 5 plants just sitting in pots (inside because it is freeezing) and have to keep looking for a way to bring them up off the ground. A planter is ideal but a stand would work too. I’m in the market as it were.
Sunday night we grilled chicken and corn, cleaned up and then watched Argo (I know, I’m about a year late). It was an awesome picture! So good. I really enjoyed it and can hardly believe that it was a real thing. Our CIA and FBI do amazing work.
This week is another busy one. Tonight are eye doctor appointments, tomorrow are drinks with Annie & Ben of EGBOK Mission then on Friday we head to Northport, Michigan (which is a NEW destination for me… 101 in 1001 update next week!)
