205....

Yeah, the scales totally went the wrong way. I am trying to walk on the treadmill everyday and watch my calories. I am also posting to Sparkpeople.com
I need to lose 6 pounds with a quickness because my reward for 199 is to go get my eyebrows waxed. If you saw them you might tell me to stop eating because I am in desperate need! :)

Biggest Looser

I know, 2010 and two years later and I weigh the same thing. But, my family after 5 years of asking, having finally ALL agreed to participate in our own version of the Biggest Looser.

Hopefully this gets us on the right track! Plus, I want the POT!

LOL

Around and around we go.

I wish I was focused and wanted to lose weight as much as I think I do. I often call my self names and feel bad about myself but it is obviously not enough to make me not eat that extra piece of cake. I am an emotional eater. The last couple of months have been tough emotionally. I keep gaining instead of losing.
Hubby has a video shoot in a couple of weeks so he and I are trying to limit sugar and white flour. Of course everything we have in our fridge and cupboards have sugar and/or white flour. Except for the fritos of course.
We are heading to the store tonight to stock up on some healthy food. I am afraid he will lose 20 pounds in the next two weeks and I will lose 2 weeks! :(
I am going on day 4 of 1500 calories a day. Wish me luck!

Wii Fit in September

I have challenged myself to do Wii Fit everyday in September for at least 30 minutes a day. So far so good!
Sept 1- 45 minutes
Sept 2- 45 minutes
Sept 3 - 30 minutes

I want to do it every day. :)

{TWD} Honey Peach Ice Cream

Woo hoo!! It is still Tuesday my time and I am posting.

Thank you to Rainbow Brown at Brown Interior for choosing this delicious recipe.

Things I learned from this recipe:
-I need an ice cream maker, I tried doing it by hand and gave up and went to bed. Once we got past the gummy layer on the top it was pretty good but still kind of icy
-I need a Kitchen Aid mixer....just because
-Nectarines are a good substitute for peaches and don't have to be peeled
-I should have washed out the ice cream container before throwing it in the trash to freeze this in instead of the giant bowl that is taking up my freezer at the moment

I thought this was pretty tasty as did both of my mini tasters. Hubby said "Oh! There's the peach!" It tasted vanilla to him with an aftertaste of nectarines but he said he liked it.

Will I make this again? Maybe but not until I get an ice cream maker!
Pictures to come. I taught my first class at the college I work at tonight after working a full day. So, I am tired.
Bake On!

Hi Karen

Okay, I started a kick boxing class. Not that foo, foo kickboxing in the regular gym. I started kick boxing classes at my kids karate academy. Okay, one the instructor is really cute (score), two, after taking the class I realized it was exactly what I've needed for the past 5 years (score) and three I don't have to worry about the kids because they are right there on the other side of the gym (score) and four, the boxing gloves they give you stink (minus score).....I'll have to look into buying my own.

So, the way I'm pretty much scoring all over the place....LOL!

Now, if I can only convince the dentist I don't need a root canal and the nutritionist chocolate chips really are good for you.

hello.....helloo.....helloooooooo

tap tap tap....is this thing on?
Yeah, it has been awhile since I have been over here. I joined sparkpeople.com and really like the food tracker and exercise tracker. Now if I actually did any exercise......

Yesterday I decided I was going to stay under 1600 calories and exercise. I made one of those goals which was the calories. I did great and I convinced myself that I would do the same today. Um....yeah. I woke up to sewage water spewing in my basement, had to call the plumber to rototill the pipe. So, what do I do? Play MarioKart and eat everything in sight. I feel cruddy, I can hardly breathe.
How the heck do I get motivated to actually exercise and not eat everything in sight?
Who knows.
Blah.
