badger saturday.

We went to the Badgers vs Northwestern Game today. It may not of ended the way we wanted but it was sure fun to go.










We even ran into Tim, Greg and Tom...all former Bucky's. Tim was the wonderful Bucky at our wedding.










Katelyn slept though almost the entire first half....made the second half much easier to handle :)

Happy Saturday.

ps. I even worked out in the hotel fitness room in the morning. Made me miss boot camp. I just can't walk/ run on a treadmill or elliptical machine and feel like I got a great workout in.

Friday Fill-ins.

From here

1. We need to get to bed so we can get up for the Badger Game tomorrow.
2. We went swimming tonight and Katelyn had so much fun and it made me smile.
3. If you want something, you need to work hard to make it happen.
4. I am happy that I joined Boot Camp because I feel great about working out.
Massachusetts has a proposed 5% sales tax on elective cosmetic surgery; I think it will have no effect on me.
5. My sister coming home from New York, makes for a happy holiday.
6. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going swimming, tomorrow my plans include going to the Badger Game and Sunday, I want to get home at a descent time!

night.

10 things

1. We met with the chef and restaurant owner for our holiday party today. We are having it at a new restaurant in Madison...Kickshaw. It means fancy food. The chef was so passionate about food and how he prepares it, it made me want to cook great food. I do not mind cooking but I kind of get stuck in a rut. Need to kick up a little bit....get outside of the box. I want to cook more with sweet potatoes and squash this week.

2. I love getting an extra 30% off at Kohl's. But I spend way to much.

3. Before pictures coming...hopefully....tomorrow. I need to find my cord to upload photos. They are not pretty. But I don't think they should be. Kind of the point of working out.

4. Water: I am craving water all the time now. I love it.

5. I am almost done with my holiday shopping. WOOT! Of course I will go out on black friday. Really all I have left is my uncle-in-law, brother-in-law. grandma, and a few things for Katelyn. I don't think I have ever been this organized to get this much done already. I really think it all connects back to starting a workout routine. I have more energy already.

6. Really want to make it to one more bootcamp a week. Wish the option that was closer to home was at 6:15....I have TOUGH time with the 5:30am class....just can not get up that early.

7. I need to stop eating fast food. I have cut way back. But even just once puts me behind in reaching my goal. I need to pack snacks for the car. That way when I am out and about on deliveries for work I can have something to take the hunger edge off.

8. I never watched Biggest Loser. I never wanted to watch it because I felt guilty because I was not doing anything about my weight. It is now fun to watch and see some of the same exercises that we do in bootcamp,

9. Last week I went to a training/ conference on Adobe software. I wish I knew more about design. But this class really helped answer questions and problems. Of course still a lot to learn but I gained a lot of neat information and a great resource for figuring out more.

10. Plan for the rest of the week. Scrapbook night on thursday. I love those night. Good times with good friends...and get some scrapbooking done. Also going to the Badger game this weekend in Northwestern.

night.

wii workout

My wonderful husband bought me the EA Active for my birthday a month ago. I had not used it until tonight. Kind of thought it might be lame and not work very well. But to my surprise I worked up a nice little sweat. I would like to get a different band but other then that I give it a thumbs up. I started the 30 day challenge on it. We will see how that goes. I am currently doing 3 boot camps a week and just need a little something more. Hopefully this will help. I really want to stay on track for my monthly goals.

It seems like everyone on the blogs is joining weight watchers again. I wish I would of kept up with that better. I really enjoyed the meetings, the point system, and the recipes. Now granted I am still cooking most of the recipes since I printed off a ton. But I just can not spend the money on that AND boot camps. I am held more accountable to the boot camps. You miss a day there you better be ready to get some grief. Good grief though :)

Day 2 of the Wii Active challenge tomorrow.

first goal

I have set my WI goals for the first tuesday of each month. I had my first one this week and I am happy to report I made it! Down to 279.8. YAY!!

When I joined Weight Watchers I weighed 290.8. I did not keep up with WW very well. Meeting times just did not work for me. All of sudden saturdays would fill up and I would miss another meeting. I am proud of myself for not gaining a lot of weight while not going to meetings but now with boot camps this is going to change. I need to lose weight not maintain :)

I really need to take measurements and take photos to see my progress on this journey. I am so happy that I have started going to boot camp. I really enjoy going...never thought that I would enjoy working out.

Halloween

We did not make it around the neighborhood for treat n' treating. We went to grandma and grandpas house and aunt Amanda's apartment. I figured that was enough. It was so cold out, we got home late and I really did not want all that candy around. It was a win-win.

I did buy some candy for at the house. I actually bought too much. I need to bring some in the restaurant do I get rid of it.

Tomorrow is my first goal that I set for 279. Drinking a lot of water today, going to set up the Wii tonight to workout and I have bootcamp in the morning. Fingers are crossed for that first goal.
