My life is full of children, family, home, land, bees, work, love, laughter and everyday life.
My Monthly Calendar. Because my life is too crazy to keep track of without it.
My husbands iphone. It's applications are really useful and easy to get too!
Our Quicken finance software. Because it's nice to remember that you actually had money before paying the bills.
Coupon ads. They are the best way to save at the grocery store and finding them is like a scavenger hunt.
DVR. Because even a homemaker needs a break when the kids are asleep.
You can do it!! A great tool, my mom used it and it worked WONDERS for her, is the couch to 5k program. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml You can check it out at that link. It takes you from not being a runner to being a 5k runner and beyond.
Good luck… and stick to it. I can’t wait to hear about your progress.
Good for you! I found myself feeling the same way this past April so I started walking, watching what I ate and so far I’ve lost 26 pounds. My goal was 30, so I’m only 4 pounds away!
That’s awesome!!! Good for you!!! I’m excited. I hope I can be like you. And, yes, I did go today. Woo Hoo!!
Good luck! We’ve been on WW since August. I’m down a whopping 10 lbs and DH is down around 35 lbs. I’ve been having a much more difficult time with it than he has, which really bums me out. It’s tough! School is almost over, though, so hopefully I can get a better routine going.
I take exception to your self-description of lazy. Of all the young people I know, no one else worked three jobs – full time daycare (50 hours per week), 3 -5 nights (6 p.m. to whenever) at the movie theater, baking 20-30 pies every Friday and farmers maket every Saturday morning May through October. So LAZY you are not. Love mom
Good for you! I admire you posting this goal in public. I’ll be waiting to hear at Thanksgiving!
I’ll be sending good (and fat free) thoughts your way!
Thank you for the complements on my portrait work! My better half is a marathoner and I used to run/walk (it wasnt pretty but I got the job done:) I hear that they have really good running clinics at The Running Room. Good luck with getting started!
YOU can do it! You will stick to it and you will come out on the other side VICTORIOUS! Blogging about it also keeps it at the forefront of your mind so you can’t get sidetracked or “forget” – can’t wait to read your progress – it will help me in my progress!
One day at a time – one step at a time. Good Luck!
I DO wish you luck. I lost 31 pounds just from walking and portion control. I haven’t walked much since the last of Sept cuz I had a gall bladder removed. I finally got in my first two half miles this past week. Normally, I’d been walking about 100 miles a month. I sure do miss it. I hope to get back to my “normal” walks by the first of the year.
And by the way: I have walked all the parks and walking trails in Johnson County, KS. Love ‘em all.
