well...I haven't been following my plan...DUH...but I want to!! after reading Temp's goals...and wondering how the hell she has so much insight into my life...it honestly felt like she was talking about me...I am stealing some...and setting some of my own...
1) wake up and stay up -- no more going back to bed after Daniel and Hannah are out the door and sleeping another 3 or 4 hours...use that time for more productive things like working out or house work.
2) drink more water -- will start with 1/2 gallon a day and work my way up to 1 gallon a day.
3) take my prescriptions AND vitamins everyday.
4) eat healthier - MORE fruits and veggies! cut back on sweets!
5) follow the plan I set for myself on page 1...write down everything I eat...KEEP TRACK!!
6) workout on my new bike or the wii AT LEAST 5 times a week. Do a body test on the wii EVERY day, it weighs me and tell me my BMI...also does these little tests and gives me a wii fit age...I think last time it told me my wii fit age was 47 O.O
7) NO eating after 8pm.
8) take better care of myself on the outside so I will feel better about myself on the inside.
I got my new exercise bike put together yesterday...then I proceeded to do 4 miles on it (about 25 minutes) YAY ME!!

That's awesome! Keep up the biking. You'll be surprised just how the miles fly by while you watch other things or read!!

I was thinking last night and I may have figured out my problem...I think I'm setting too many goals for myself...I feel overwhelmed, like there is no way I can do it all...like I have failed before I even started...so...I'm going to stick with 2 or 3 goals...actually it may just be 2 goals...and I'm really hoping this make a difference...
the biggest goal I have is to get healthy...to get healthy I need to lose weight...so my goals will get me to my big goal...
1. drink at least a gallon of water every day...8 bottles is about a gallon...so if I drink at least a bottle every 2 hours I should be able to get in a gallon a day...this is one of the best goals I can set for myself...when I was setting my alarm (which I will be doing again) I was drinking ALOT of water AND eating less...so this goal is 2 fold =) YAY!
2. exercise at least 5 times a week...saying I want to do it every day is just not reasonable for me...weekends are a whole other breed of days for me...so 5 times a week, when Daniel is gone is best for me...I will do the bike and the wii...I love watching tv and I have loads of shows to catch up on...why not catch up while riding my bike...ooooh another 2 fold...but wait...could even be 3 fold...exercising gives you more energy...so if I am exercising more I will be less likely to sleep so much...YAY!
so...there they are...my 2 goals...drink water and exercise...this I can do...this I WILL do...tired of making excuses when there aren't any...tired of being tired...
...and as Master Yoda says...
...do or do not...there is no try...

The 2 goals that you have set for yourself are great! they are something that I need to be working on myself. and you are absolutely right... more exercising = more energy and more energy = more exercising and feeling better about yourself. I think that all of us can say that we don't care about what we weigh, and that getting healthy and fit is the ultimate goal. Sure I would love to drop the weight and get back to my super cute and sexy self, but more importantly I want to have a health heart and mind, so in 20 years I am not in the same place that my own mother is in right now. The thought of looking at myself in the mirror and being happy with what I see on the outside is an added bonus to wanting to get healthy, but the thought of not being my mother in 20 years and being healthy and active for my kids is the motivation and drive that I need for this journey. and lets face it this journey is going to be rough. we have all experienced days when we just want to forget everything and dig into a gallon of ice cream or scream at the top of our lungs or gouge somebody's eyes out or skip our workout for the day (or even the week). But I want you to know that I have faith in you, I know you can do it! I will be right here day in and day out doing it along with you... and together we will be able to get this thing DONE!!

Thanx so much Temp! it' means alot to have the support of my friends even if they are in another state or even country...
my Dad passed away at the age of 53 from a massive heart attack (that's only 18 years older than I am now)...it scares me to think I could be heading down the same path...I take meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol...I want to be able to decrease the amount I have to take or be able to stop taking them altogether...
so...on that note...I'm going to get ready for bed...before I put myself in the worst kind of mood...
♥ ♥ LOVE YOU ALL!!! ♥ ♥

heating pad helped just enough to help me fall asleep...as soon as it shut off and cooled down...I was awake turning it back on...this is the worst "crick" I have ever had...called the dr...but my dr was all booked up...luckily the other dr in the office had an opening at 2:30 this afternoon...UGH...it hurts so bad I can't even yawn...and I'm sleepy I sooooo wanna yawn! a really BIG yawn!!

dr said I'm having muscle spasms in my neck...he gave me anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxers...it's feeling better...I was actually able to get comfortable and sleep last night...didn't even need the heating pad...may go chill and watch some tv later with it though...I think I'm actually holding my head in a normal position instead of all cocked to one side...so that's good...
haven't drank enough water...will go get a bottle now...was totally craving brown pop yesterday...and the Pepsi at Arby's sucked so I got Mt. Dew instead...needless to say...I bought Coke's at the store and fed my craving last night...here's a shocking one fore ya'll...Daniel went to the store and got ice for me...I was so surprised...it was even after he got home, changed clothes and ate...grant it...we have a little bumpkin store right on the corner...aptly named Li'l Country Store...but usually he would never get up and go after he got home...so I was happy...I got to drink my brown pop...YAY! and I only had one...
Hannah got up this morning feeling yucky...so she stayed home...GRRRR...not sure how bad she was REALLY feeling...but her grades are good enough she can play hooky every once in a while...but don't tell her I said that...LOL
