What a morning so far!

Started off with an amazing spin class that I will NOT be counting the points for today. I'm trying to rebound from the past couple of days. No biggie, but no need to eat unnecessary points again.

Then I ate some yogurt: 2 pts

THEN I walked Lucy for an hour, ending up at the Farmers Market to get some rainbow chard for dinner... what will I make?!?

Off to brunch with Sara at Muddy's... probably gonna have to get the egg special. Looked so damn good last time.

Happy Sunday!

p.s. I'm changing the title of the blog to the new mantra of my life. the kelly nielsen improvement project!

working in woodburn

In my usual in-between-presentations spot right now... parked outside of a Starbucks pirating free internet! It's nice... I just ate the food I brought from home, and I think it may even satisfy me until I get home later this afternoon. Damn, which probably won't even be until 4:00. Ouch.

Ouch, up almost 4 pounds this week. That's what a week+ of travel w/o exercise will get you. No worries though, its not that bad and easily manageable to get back on track. I went to my first real pilates class tonight and stayed w/in points. I'm a little hungry right now, but nothing that a little sleep won't cure. Tomorrow is a long day in Woodburn, but I'm hoping to get some work done in between presentations. I'm excited to put mom's package together and send it off on Friday. I feel good tonight and am proud of my ability to pull myself together after straying for some time. This is the mark of a strong, healthy woman. I'm doing good things for myself.

I love you, Kelly!

yeseterday and today

Well, yesterday was busy and great and I was even able to exercise a little! The pottery class was so fun and work was so productive. Things are going well, just working to really get back on track after the crazy summer. I'll finally get to weigh in tonight, which will help put everything in perspective. No matter what, I've done well so far and will continue to lose weight and get healthy. My points yesterday were pretty good, actually. Maybe only over by a few (chocolate soy ice cream!)

these ankles...

The only way I'm going to survive with these ankles for the rest of my life is to lose significant more weight.

So today I'm starting over. I'm going to weigh-in and act as if this is the heaviest I've ever been. I'm proud of what I've done so far, but it's easy to get complacent. I need to keep going to save my life and be able to walking easily. It's not going to be good enough to get down to 180 or 170 I need to be at least 150; that will truly make a difference on my joints.

Ah! Kinda lost it last night; had a sushi roll (gave Angela a piece :) and a piece of mushroom pizza. Yikes. Food addiction is painful at times.

Anyway, today has been great; going to go to 24 hour for lifting, crunches and spin class. Yayayayay! Can't wait. Then I'd like to go get Pho somewhere near Pike's market. Definitely gonna get tasty lunch treat. Well, maybe I'll just get falafel and stuff from whole foods and eat it with my salad. That's probs a better idea.

only 3 over... i think. this is all very, very estimated. but i will say that I'm pretty sure i underestimated my APs. 25 minutes of eliptical and 20+ of swimming. It was a wonderful way to end the day, even if it meant leaving my friends way early. They're all going drinking though, and that's not really a part of my life anymore. Drinking for me equals smoking and unhealthy eating. All three of those things are bad. I've had my fun in life, it's time to get serious and put the social life on the back burner. I have to do this for the family I hope to have one day. Is it weird that I keep thinking about children that I don't have yet? I'm still young and anything is possible. But if I don't get healthy, I'll never have a family. I want to be the one to make that choice, not have my weight make it for me.

Tomorrow is another group dinner at Amanda's. Next up: Greek food. Gotta plan another light day and another big workout.

I'm feeling really good overall, though. I seem to be having a lot of clarity and peace within. It feels good to be in control of my life again. Or maybe for the first time. Work. Workout.Homework. Life is worth all the work. I am happy right now.

I also got presentations scheduled! Then I went to Safeway to get LCs for dinner. They weren't that great, but they only totaled 11 pts.

I got an apple as well, and will have a Fiber ONe bar for dessert (3pts total).

I also walked Lucy and had a good workout today... so if I can hold dinner to 10 points or so, I should be well under points. In other related news, the doctor appt was great, and she has no reason to think any of my tests will be abnormal.

Dinner plan:
