Man, is it ever cold!!


It is so cold here! 7.6 degrees at 8pm! I have the weekend off, dinner planned with a friend tomorrow night and I am not going to feel like going out. DH mentioned the other day that Tuesday shouldn't be too bad 'cause it will be up in the 40's! BRRRRRRR!

I was challenged at work today. A decision that I made was questioned and there was a back and forth with two co-workers. We ended up with a good compromise, but it is very frustrating when there are two people who you want to trust and you know that one of them has to be lying. It's done and it is always a learning experience for me. I am going to set quarterly goals for myself cause I have been in this job for almost two years and I want to be better at it than I am!!! My mantra this year...stick to my guns!! When I make a decision and feel in my heart that it is the right one, I am not budging unless someone has a valid argument for why it should be different, then I will listen and we can work something out. My confidence has increased and will continue to increase the more I allow myself to be strong and assertive. Success and improvement in 2009!!!

    Goal Setting is a great way to motivate yourself and to show your superiors that you really have an interest in improving your performance! good job and good luck.

Flowers...springtime...sunshine!!!

I got up this morning and took a walk. We went out for a light breakfast before heading home.  I have been doing my flower gardening in stages.  I love having flowers, but I am too lazy to do a lot of gardening so I did it in steps: Cut back dead growth from last year Attacked the weed-vine that invades everything in our small back yard. Attacked the weed - vine again...and again...finally found some of its roots and dug them out...that was no small task Put down some bags of garden soil...more exercise...they were heavy Put up a wooden border to keep the dirt away from the grass Today I finally planted my Iris', lilies, and  Aquilegia Took a break to write my blog I want my flower garden to be all Perennials so each year I will have a beautiful display without much work.  The hardest part will be keeping the invading weeds out!! Time for a shower!! Stay healthy and enjoy the weather!!

13 Weeks!!

It has been 13 weeks since I started this challenge to myself...here I am down 20 pounds...that is better than a pound a week!!! I started losing even before New Years Day!! I feel so much better...today had two bonuses 1. I hit the 20 pound lost mark 2. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT I HAVE LOST WEIGHT!!!! Wow, what a feeling. I was at work, spent some time talking to a woman who I don't see very often and when there was no one else around she said "you're doing good losing weight...I was checking it out.. you look good" I thanked her and told her how much it meant to me to have her say it. She is heavy, also and I think that those of us in that club really want to make sure that we recognize each other for our successes. It made my day! I have a meeting on Thursday and I am hoping that I can find one of my smaller skirts that fits so I can wear it...what a great feeling that will be! I am already fitting into some of my smaller clothes. My big pants are fairly new so I am ...

Let's Recap...

Now seems like a good time to go back and look at my goals to see how I am doing. The last set of short term goals I set were these: 1. Eat a more balanced diet (less carbs, more protein and...silly as it sounds...more fat) 2. Stick to between 1300 and 1400 calories a day 3. No Lattes for a week... put $2.00 in my goal jar for every day I don't drink a Latte How have I done? 1. I really make an effort to eat protein with each meal...sometimes that is a handfull of nuts...I added them to a salad the other day and it was very good 2. Doing well here, I seldom go below 1300 and although I do go over 1400 some days, I rarly go above 1500, my top end goal is 1560 so I am eating a good amount of food 3. I have had one or two non-fat lattes since I started this goal...just like diet soda, the less I have them, the less I want them. I will review my other goals tomorrow!
