Wednesday-I got the abscissor in and the rest of the day was spent cleaning all the clutter in the laundry room as well as the tanning bed room. I also cleaned out the freezer and fridge in the laundry room. Had big time garbage! (mental note-don't buy so much food and lose track of it, and then have to throw it away!)

Today I have done the stepper, gosh,......10 minutes of torture! As they say no pain, no gain! I was proud of myself, as I managed to finish what I started! I will do the abscissor before I eat breakfast! Maybe walk with my neighbor this afternoon, beings it is a wonderful day for a walk!

If I manage to keep up at this pace, my goal for the summer will be met! That is such a wonderful thought! One I plan on achieving!

You are doing great!! And you will acheive your summer goal.....I just know it!

Ok................the abscissor for the day is out of the way! I think I might up it a notch tomorrow as it seems to be getting easier! I think after I get done with the chiropractor I will head over to my parents and mow their lawn....it's a work out in itself so that will be the exercise for the day, unless the neighbor decides to walk later! I am feeling better by the day and plan on sticking with this exercise routine! As I said...................no pain no gain!

A big thank you goes out to Debbie, for taking the time to come and read this! You are my motivation Debbie and I thank you for that!

What a nice thing to see there at the end of your post today....Thank you ever so much! I sincerely want to see you acheive your goals....you are so determined, such a cheerleader for the rest of us, and there are NO bounds to your kindness. So....I'll be keeping up with you, every step of the way, on your road to success!!

I did the abscissor first thing in the morning! I swam 50 laps in the pool.....30 freestyle and 20 breast-stroke. My neck is really sore today so I might have to take it easy.

My Goals-
Abscissor-5 times a week M-F
Stepper- 5 times a week (if it doesn't kill me first) M-F
Swimming- Every day I am in the pool which will depend on the weather!

Ok, now that I have blown all the dust off this page, I will post all my many accomplishments!

*I mowed my parents lawn.
*I did the stepper for 15 whole minutes, it was a killer and I worked up a big ole sweat, but I managed to do it!
*I swam a big whopping 80 laps (sometimes I amaze myself)
*And last but not least I did the abscissor.
*MIght as well throw in the vacuuming of the whole house.

I am going to try my darnest to stick with the plan........I desperately want to see the scale move the opposite way, God knows it has been a long time coming!

I might as well list what I ate as well.......
2 fried eggs for breakfast
jello with a dallop of whip cream for lunch
shish-ka-bobs-(green pepper, onion, mushrooms and rump roast marinaded in itailion dressing and soy sauce, cooked on the grill) and a salad with ranch dressing.
a mini desert-2 RS chocolates!

Well, I think I did pretty good.......thank you for the motivation my good friend Debbie! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!

Thought I'd pop by and say WTG with the regular exercise! Feels great, doesn't it? Keep up the good work!

My exercise color will now be red.....cuz it is hot!

Today I walked 1.5 miles on the treadmill in a little less than 25 minutes, but stuck on it for the whole 25. I did 120 reps on the Abscissor and I did 1.5 miles on the gazelle, which I was on for 25 minutes! I feel so good right now and beings the sun is not cooperating......I think I might head over to my mom and dads and mow!

My diet is somewhat lacking these days...mind you I ate a carb lovers meal on Saturday and it only had a minimal affect, I think I was up a couple of pounds! I did realize yesterday that I am forgetting to eat......think alot of it might have to do with my mom, as I am consumed with worry on her behalf! I just am not hungry like I used to be. Gonna have to try and do better on that as I need to for my own sake!

Here's to a wonderful week of exercising everyone!

Ok, the exercising is obviously paying off as I was granted a visit from the Whoosh Fairy and was down another 2 pounds today! Which as you can imagine makes me feel as if I am finally doing something right!

My exercise today consisted of 1.5 miles on the Treadmill, 1.5 miles on the gazelle and 120 reps on the Abscissor. A grand total of 50 minutes worth!

I must say I have more energy and can tell by the way my clothes fit that my body is taking on a whole different shape! My only hope is it continues!

Another 7 pounds and I will be the lowest I have been in over 15 years! I can do it....simply because I want it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!
