Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Sounds good Gena... it is a new year to re-focus and get determined in what is most important to us. I really would love to get 80 oz's of water in, I barely get in four glasses a day. I see all the women here being able to take water in so easily and I am jealous. Well I hope your visit with your daughter and Arturo has been a pleasant one. From reading the post it seems as if you have enjoyed yourself completely. Gena Grunwald auroragg@...> wrote: Hey buds! I had to get up early today and drive Mike to work. We met at the party on New Years and he left his truck there so I could drink. He doesn't drink. So I drove him to work and then stopped at a coffee shop for breakfast. Saw a moose on the way home. Of course when Niki's boyfriend Arturo is not with me. LOL I said last night he should come with because this time of day we see them a lot but he felt sleep was more important. LOL I'm going to spend some time going through some old posts, mostly deleting so I can get up to date here then I'll post some of my old favorites to get us all motivated for the new year! My goals this year are to get back to exercising at least 30 min a day at least 4 times a week. Get my water consumption back up to 80 or more oz a day and watch my portion sizes and cut back on snacking after dinner. My theory is that since I have not been exercising and been eating bad and drinking booze the last 3 weeks that once I get back to being good it should get things going again. I vow to lose the weight I gained in the last year or so and lose at least 30 more by my 40th b-day, March 29 2005. So that means I need to lose at least 3 lbs a month, preferably 4. I did weigh this morning and the bad news is I'm 222. I do think some of that is just bloating though from all the salty things I have had the last few days. We'll see. But at any rate, this means I have about 50-60 lbs to lose in the next 15 months. I know I can do this! I feel ready to do this. Enough screwing around. It took me 18 mo to go from 284 to 195 and the next 18 mo to get back to 220 and I am determined not to let another year go by without gaining. I would like to see 160 by March 2005 but will be happy if I can just get under 170 so that is minimum 50 lbs in 15 months which is completely do able. We can do this!!!!!!!! Ok off to old e-mails. You all have a good day! Gena :-) 284/222/200/160s Question of the Week: What is your biggest challenge as far as getting motivated? Challenge of the Week: Exercise 30-45 minutes 3-5 days this week!!! as far as getting motivated?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Good Afternoon Gena, It's been awhile since I have posted but I wanted to drop in a say hello....my weight has increased as well...196 yesterday...I am annoyed at myself..after getting down to 180 last year. But I spend sometime today making up my charts to track my weight loss until July 19th.....which is 28 weeks and also one for my exercises as well. I did do 10 minutes on the exercise bike the longest that I have been on it since last winter when I overdid it and had pain in my shoulders,arms,chest,neck and jaw...I have been in the woods helping ....clearing roads and moving brush and praying everytime he goes to cut a tree. He can't stay in the woods for long on count of his legs...he has alot of arithritus. Glad that Niki's boyfriend is so nice.....I thought the part about him thinking that moose weren't real. And I thought that the card they left was a real turning point for sure. Well I must close....I printed off the " Making Your New Year's Resolutions to work all year long " . Hope to be posting more regularly. ine > Hey buds! > I had to get up early today and drive Mike to work. We met at the party > on New Years and he left his truck there so I could drink.
