New Year's Eve Half Marathon

I am going to be running in my second new year's eve half marathon on Friday. I am totally unprepared for it but I am going to give it a go anyway. I think I'll be fine. But wish me luck! I have exercised what will be five days this week and four days last week. So I think I've finally kicked it into high gear. Plus all the calorie burning through all the walking around at Applebee's. It's been really busy there lately and that means a lot of seating and bussing. So.......anyone have any new year's resolution's they'd like to share?

Mom's on board- soon

I'm with you, starting Saturday. By the time I go back to school on the
3rd I need to lose the 3 lbs. I gained back in the last 2 weeks.

Hello?

So I saw a picture of me the other day...two actually. One at a basketball game and one at Eric and Teresa's. The pictures told me that it's time to stop slacking! I'm REALLY serious now. The things I've passed up in the past couple days:
Little Ceaser's Pizza
Cookies and chocolate pudding dessert
Cookies all day at mom's (she was making them and had some laid out)
Cookies at Mel and Lorraine's after Carroling.

I really hope I can keep this up. It's go time! It's back to working out every day. No excuses.

Who's with me?

Here I am again

Sorry I haven't been here lately. I've truly forgotten to look at it lately until Amy reminded me today. Between work and Christmas shopping, wrapping, etc. I don't get on my computer very often at home. Also..nothing to report. I'm on and off the wagon more often than my bathroom light switch. Thank goodness for Mondays. I'm willing to try anything new Amy; your idea sounds good, I'm just not sure how to choose a goal for one of you. Your self-imposed schedule looks pretty disciplined. Do you just want one of us to check in with you daily to see if you stayed on the plan?

Ben, I forgot to ask today how the nibbles turned out, but I see it was a success. Now I know the tradition will be passed on to the next generation. The house is awesome. Pictures make it look pretty big.

New Idea

Hi
I just thought of this idea and came right to the computer before I forgot to do this. I was thinking that this blog is to push eachother to do better, to inspire eachother with our progress. But nothing is really happening. My idea is what if we all give eachother a goal to reach. Instead of setting our own, set some for eachother. We could either set a goal for each person or each get assigned a person to set a goal for. What do you think? Knowing me I need someone to be pushing me other than myself. Like in a work situation I always do what I'm told so I don't let anyone down. So I was thinking this might work not only for me but for everyone.
Let me know what you think.

Crappy Weekend

I did horribly over the weekend at Dave's parents. I always do at their house. But I'm back now and did good yesterday and have a goal to be good until Christmas and then just take that day off. I want to lose 10 pounds. Having this Applebee's job will be good for me actually. There is a TON of walking around really fast. I think I walked around really fast for three hours last night. So I may lose a pound or two while doing that. Plus I went running yesterday.
What's everyone else's goals now since it's after Thanksgiving now?
Ben, awesome nibbles! I bet mom is so proud!
Anna, glad you got a vacation. I bet it was so fun! I'm jealous. I've always wanted to go on a cruise.

My Last 4 HOURS

I didn't know you went on a cruise. You'll have to tell us all about it. We've never been and always wonder if it should be on our "bucket list".

So, check me out. I just spent the last few hours making Nibbles. Full Mom recipe. It came out just right. For some reason, this whole making nibbles project just makes me feel really old!

My last 4 days...:/

I am concluding a 4 day eating frenzy aboard our cruise. we ate to our hearts content including several desserts each day! we Had a great time but are heading home to reality now. we are currently waiting on the Miami airport for seven hours for our flight!

The picture is of course something I managed to avoid consuming. haha!

Four Days

Hello All!
Four days in a row of exercising and pretty good eating. It hasn't been PERFECT, but not all that bad either.
We are going out of town for the weekend so I don't know if I will get a chance to exercise tomorrow or Saturday. We'll see.
Good luck to you all and hope you're all workin' hard!
