Day 5...an early post.

Thought I would post a bit early today and share my plans for the day...

This Mornings weigh in... 138.6 lbs. So, even with my bad day of calories yesterday, I was down a pound! No gaining for me. Cardio workouts really helped that. I'm so glad that I chose to go to the gym instead of beat myself up over the 1/2 pizza, fried foods, etc... I'm determined today to make this a consistant habit.

My daughter asked last night and again this morning if I would take her in to town to JoAnne Fabrics so she could buy some fabric to make some stuff here at home. She's taking a Fashion Design Class at school and is doing an AWESOME job with sewing. I can't believe how well for it being her first real sewing/design class out of a few weeks of sewing in Home Ec during her 7th grade year. She has learned to use a surger, insert zippers, all the stuff I have no clue how to do and I've taken a couple of sewing classes in highschool as well as when I was in 4-H. He PJ bottoms look store bought they are made so well...

So, as soon as the stores in town open (State law says nothing but restraunts and gas stations may open before noon in ND), I will take her into town so let her pick out some fabric and maybe a pattern or two so she can practice sewing at home too. She wants to make Mommy a pair of PJ bottoms too. And I think she is wanting to do things for her bedroom, pillows, pillow cases, etc.

After returning home from town, I will get around and head to the gym for some more cardio and today I want to also incorporate the strength machine's too. Holly has said she would go up and work out with me also, so that's an added bonus. More time spent with my daughter.

Hubby and I will also do our weekly grocery shopping today as I am off tomorrow but the commissary is always closed on Monday. Need to get my list made up here shortly, so we do not do a bunch of impulse buying, which we tend to do when we do not have a list to go by.

I worked out a schedule for my workouts the other night based on my work schedule this week. This is what I am hoping to accomplish...

Sunday: Gym-- treadmill and/or bike along with some Strength training
Monday: Leslie Sansone Walk at Home, 3 mile weight loss walk. (up early and do before work)
Tuesday: The Sugar Solution Workout (one of my freebies from Prevention. Not yet tried)
Wednesday: Gym-- treadmill at least 30 minutes, and strength training before having lunch with hubby and heading to work)
Thursday: 10 Minute Solution Pilates (this has 5 programs for a full body workout)
Friday: Prevention 3-2-1 workout ( curcuit training... approx. 50 minutes long)
Saturday: Free day

That's my plans for today and this week so far. I will probably update this evening to let everyone know How well I did for today...

Hope you are having a great day.

I used to be a Navy wifey so reading you talking about "the commissary" is just cool, lol. Like a comfortable old memory. :D

Sewing is fun, I should do it more often. Hope your workout at the gym goes awesome!

Thanks for the comments & support, I appreciate it. ♥

Wow, good for your daughter taking up sewing and being good at it too! I can't even sew a button ;D.

Congrats on the loss, it's good when we don't berate ourselves over food, I think that's what messes us up we're so not forgiving towards ourselves and it sends messed up messages to our psyche.

I do a list as well but I always forget something on the list. I've also started bringing my diet book with me and it reminds me of the odds and ends of what I need to buy sometimes.

I too want to thank you for the comments, compliments and support!

Have a great workout!

Congrats on the loss, and that's neat about your daughter. I sewed a lot when I was in JR High/HS but didn't really after that for a long time, then 2 years ago my hubby gave me a sewing machine for our anniversary, and I have loved it, I was amazed at how it was just like riding a bike :) Picked it back up easily. Your exercise plan looks great.

Hey Lisa! Sounds like you have a great plan! Holly sounds like she has found her creative niche we all need, and that is great! I am hoping to sew some this summer, but time will tell how much is spent indoors or swimming. :)

My free day w/ exercise is going to also be Saturday ( as well as Sunday) because we have a choir run through for Easter services on Sunday. I will get lots of little exercise trying to get things done ~ so I will take what I can. Have a great week!

Stopping by to wish you a wonderful week! As you prepare your body this week, don't forget to prepare your heart too ~ to embrace Easter this year in a way you have never been able to before!
