Failure to plan is planning to fail...wise words of the head nurse of the Heart & Wellness Program that also went through the program 6 years ago. She said she could not be a hypocrite being a cardio nurse and telling people to loose weight when she herself had to loose weight. That moto is how I live many aspects of my life.

Water Country...had some fun!



Luv this place......
We have not missed a year since we started dating in 1990. We went to out first official alone date there. I was happy to go on all the slides and fit more than ampally. Luved being with the nephews b/c it is like having lil ones again. Uncle Michael is so fun throwing them over and over just like when our guys were that age. Then Auntie is known to make them swim like dolphines and spin them around until we fall in the water and splash. That places does not seem as big at is was. It used to be a chore to walk from one end of the park to the next but NOT THIS TIME! My walkin legs took me back and forth many times without fail and I am still so excited to feel like I FIT! I took a double tak eof myself when I went in the restroom passing the mirror. I was like wow thats IS me. You still see yourself as you once were and it does take a bit of time to adjust and really believe what others see. It is still a work in progress. The journey continues...it goes on and on and never ends...

music and the bike


Yesterday at the gym after walking with Paula I did 5 miles on the bike! Before I never had th enotion that music makes u "kick it up" but hell yeah it does! I went the 5 miles in about 3 mins less than I do without the music. Every time the refrain came on and it was a kicker of a song I blasted. At Heart and Wellness they always wanted us to do "bump ups" to trick the body. Well bump ups were all over that yesterday. Down 1.5 lbs from the other day. I am being naughty and weighin in everyday since the 3 day. I was good an dlistened to H & W and only would weigh in once every other week. Well I have broken that rule..GASP! Stephie a rule breaker LOL
I was up a lb but I am sure b/c of the gosh aweful periods that I still have to have UGH, why can't we turn off a switch when we are done with the need of that? So I did not get frustrated I know weight goes up and down with weather and fluid. But is was really nice to see the 1.5 lbs loss. I vow to stop going on the scale when we leave for The Hamptons on Thurday morn. Unless I pack the scale...LOL LOL ....That would be funny. So the reason for the post!!!! I did see the kick up of music while pushin the legs to the limit yesterday...I did weights after and a long stretch at the gym ..picked Stephen up from work then while watching Big Brother and txting about it while watching I could not sit still on the sofa so I was doing ab work while it was on......It is good in a way to not sit still RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS!
