Well, I think there is good news and bad news this week.

Bad News: I am still in positive numbers for weight lose. :(

Good News: I actually lost weight this week. I was expecting to gain a little more and face the shame of telling you all, but also knowing I was ready to get on the right track. I didn't lose a lot, but it's a start in the right direction. :)

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)
You might be wishing that you could escape the headaches in your life right now, but even if you could fly away from the earth like a bird, you would have to come back down to earth eventually -- and these issues would be right there waiting for you. So you need to be more grounded right now -- it's necessary for you to face up to your responsibilities and do what needs to be done. If you try too hard to avoid things, you are only delaying the inevitable.

So much for a life in the Land of Delusion.....

[secrethoughts]
This past week, I didn't do too bad. I didn't quite make my goals, but I didn't fall too short either.

Good
- I walked to and from work every day (30 mins total per day)
- I walked for 30 minutes during lunch on 4/5 days
- I did about 20 mins of upper body weights on Saturday
- I did about 20 mins of pilates leg work and stretching during the work week

Not as Good
- I didn't make it to the gym...work and house cleaning got in the way
- I didn't officially do dvds, but the leg lifts and the upper body work are close approximations.

Food
- All fairly decent, but I really, really, really need to drink more water!

This Week
-I want to do just as well, and I want to get to the gym at least once!!!
-I also want to drink more water.
-I want to start doing my toning exercises again at my desk...I felt like those made a difference.

What are you guys doing????

Your Score: Libra


4 Elements




Your true zodiac sign is Libra!

The basic Libran nature is diplomatic and charming. Libras have an idealistic and generally peace loving nature. They are easygoing and sociable. Librans are considered by many astrologers to be among the most civilized of the twelve signs. Often good looking, they exude certain elegance, charm and fine taste.

As lovers of beauty and harmony, both in art and life, their nature is gentle and kind. Pleasure oriented people, Libras are intuitive and very aware of the power of image. They are happiest when socializing, and at the top of their social strata. You will find many Librans in local organizations volunteering their time and services and rising to a position of prominence. They are fence sitters and will not take a stand on an issue, but prefer the middle of the road, until they are forced to choose. They make good diplomats .

They are known to be objective and impartial in making judgment calls. They are more interested in making friends than enemies, and are willing to go along with others and do whatever it takes to maintain a relationship.

Very sociable, they abhor cruel or vicious actions, and shy away from vulgar and offensive behavior. They prefer to cooperate and compromise, and will give up, even when they feel they are in the right, rather than put up with the ordeal of an argument. Discord makes them totally insecure, and uncomfortable. They need and want harmony in their lives, and will do whatever it takes to have it.

Well.........

Days off are nice to have. A vacation would be nice to have. A raise and/or a worksite I look foreward to going to would be nice. A life where I'm not worrying about so much "little stuff" would be nice. Someday......

Got back a bit ago from Fuddruckers. It's been a while since I splurged and it was calling. YUM! I also stopped by Petsmart to get some more kitty litter & saw something called a "Cat Magnet". It is a carpeted base with a curved bristley thing (kind of like a long black toilet scrubber brush) attached. My cat seemed to like it....about as much as the box it came in. Cats are fun.

I plan on getting a bit more shopping done tomorrow & hunt down something for ol' Mom (can't forget Mother's Day!!). I have a social get-together with an online "group" I belong to on Saturday afternoon that should be interesting. There will be around 10-15 of us. This is the first time we have done this.... More details later.

I guess that's it for now. Gonna wander off & find something worthwhile to do.....or not.

[ mood | accomplished ]
[ music | mute math "control" ]

I'm just writing to say that I reached my goal weight today & I did it the thin & healthy way. For a self-proclaimed restricting anorexic to "recover" & maintain a healthy weight was a big enough challenge. Then I got pregnant with twins. I had a healthy pregnancy & two luminous, healthy babies. Now I've lost my baby weight & I did it without crashing. Healthy eating & exercise --- all the way. I am doing battle with my disordered mind every day, but this community always helps. THANK YOU ALL so much for the support. I appreciate it more than I can say.

Even though I am at my goal weight, this is actually the most dangerous time for a person like me. Maintaining health & not being obsessed by numbers is my new goal now.

It has been a couple of weeks now and I have failed miserably.
I have reverted to all my old habits. Eat, eat, eat........

One of my nieces is getting married in July and that is also my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary. I am also hoping to go to Las Vegas in September. Shouldn't all of that be enough to make me want to lose some weight. To say nothing of needing to lose the weight for health reasons.
Now what from that list isn't enough to make me stick to a diet?

Your Score: Diaphragm


66 % efficacy, 70 % complication


80-94% effective and somewhat complicated, you are like the diaphragm method of birth control. You combine the barrier and spermicidal categories of methods. You can be inserted up to 6 hours in advance of intercourse, and have few side effects; however, some believe you reduce spontaneity and are messy. Also, you require periodic fitting and re-fitting, and some people are allergic to you!

This week was really busy, so I didn't get a chance to workout nearly as much as I wanted to, and the week before that, my allergies were so bad, I didn't do much of anything...

Anyhow, here's my plan for the coming week!

Today/Saturday: 45 mins of cardio at the gym
Sunday: Do upper body weights at home, and do 30 minutes of pilates (mostly lower body work)
Mon, Tues, Wed: walk to and from work (30 mins total), and try to walk 30 mins every day during lunch. Try to do at least one pilates or yoga dvd during this three days.
Thurs/Fri: Same walking as above; go to the gym for cardio on one of the two days.

So in total, walk 30-60 mins a day in total during the work week; do cardio at the gym 2x a week; throw in some strength training (pilates/weights/yoga) 3x a week. Hopefully this is doable! We'll see....Honestly, I feel so much better when I'm active.

What are you all doing to keep/get in shape??

You Are Disturbingly Profound



You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.

Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.

Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.

No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them.
