wow...i'm a slacker!

totally been neglecting myself and this blog...
here i go again tho...

i'm back home and back in routine...thankfully i STS this past WI, but i gained two WI's before that...ug...not liking what the weekends do to me...gotta change that thinking and keep on keeping on...
happy i stayed for the meeting last nite as i needed to be reminded not to look at the big picture but to set those small goals that are achievable! but i still want to remember my ultimate goal of being a lifetime member...just not concentrate on it to the point of that "all or nothing" frame of mind...
plus i need to remember my ME time...as in making time to exercise...if i can't get it in during the day, then i need to take those 20 mins at nite after the kids are in bed...hubby will have to be content with being on the back burner for the total of 20 or 30 mins it takes...maybe i'll get him to join in...lol
5 lbs by thanksgiving...that's goal #1

WI good...

Pleasantly surprised that i actually lost a bit of weight at last nite's WI! down 1.6 with only being OP 3.5 days outta the 7...so now that i'm back with a vengeance i should steadily see results each week...and day 2 of level one Shred done! i forgot that it hurts after day one till about day 4 or 5, from what i remember so if i can just not think about the soreness stiffness or pain of my legs, arms, and abs during then i know by next week i'll be fine!
and gulp, i spent just over 300 bucks on groceries last nite but i'm fully stocked up on all kinds of wholesome goodness foods for the fam...tonite i'm gonna bbq steaks, boil new potatoes and mix in some dill seasoning, and try my hand at a bean salad...i have 12 points left for that feast!
i'm really in it to win it this time!
my reward for hitting my 10% this time (last time it was my contacts!) will be to go to a real hair salon (not the excuse for one in this town), and book myself for a professional dye job and cute cut (the last two or three haircuts i've gotten have not been exactly what i wanted but it was better than what it was, and for the price and conveinence of having it done here in town, i thought it was okay)...hubby is totally on board with this reward!
my 10% goal is 164.2 lbs...OMG i can't remember the last time i was in the 160's...probably back in my early 20's when i didn't weigh myself at all!
well...off to go start looking for a good healthy bean salad recipe!

WI tonite...

have to admit that i was soooo off plan this weekend, but really in the back of my mind, i wasn't really ready to commit till today...Sept. 1st...for some reason this whole summer i've had this date in my head for getting back at it full force, so this past week was like my warmup...
but today with gusto, i'm soooooo back at it...just finished shredding, joined up for the Sept Shred Challenge, getting back into routine, and i even made the BEST 3 point homemade hamburger (bison meat) soup i ever put in a pot yesterday! in fact it's all gone...we had it for lunch and supper!
now before my meeting i need to get to Walmart, then after my meeting i need to get to the grocery store for fresh veggies and fruit!
my head is in the game and even tho we are planning going away this weekend, i know i can stick as close to plan as possible, and even those lil indulgences are okay if i plan for them!
the reason we are going away besides it being the long weekend is we totally are trying to make up to our lil heartbroken Tempel...this Sunday we got her all excited to take her to the pool ( i even sent hubby to the pool first to make sure it was still open, cuz i knew it was closing for the season this weekend just didn't know if it was sunday or saturday), and he came back and said there were like 40 or 50 ppl there...at this point in time it was 3:30, so get the kids all ready and get packed up and off we go...shortly after 4...and they were just closing it up for the season...i cried i felt so bad as lil Tempel kept going "Pool, mom? pool ,dad?"
i tried to make the best of it and she seemed to settle for playin in our swimsuits in the bathtub...me, baby boy and her...but hubby felt so bad he promised her to take her to a hotel this weekend with a pool...so off we are going!!!

well i'm all shredded and sweaty so while baby boy is still napping, better go clean up! i'll report tomorrow on my WI!
