To Busy to Eat!

Yesterday I didn't have time to walk, but I did do my home core work. I'm trying to figure out how to do the sit-ups that will help slim my waist and not just make me look bulky. Karen, you got any ideas for me?

Speaking of Karen, yesterday I photographed her "BootCamp" exercise class. I had taken this class last summer for a month, she really knows how to whip you into shape. Anyone interested in a great personal trainer or wants to join her classes, she teaches in Escondido and Ramona; here is her contact info:

Later in the day I took Hope and another senior girl friend down to Oceanside Pier to do a photoshoot of senior pictures. I knew with the coming weather pattern, we'dd get some good sunset pictures, I was right, it was beautiful! We sure are lucky to live in such an awesome place.

Today's Eats:
Breakfast - small bowl of granola with strawberries and low-fat milk
Lunch - 1 hard boiled egg, 10 potato chips
Dinner - 1/2 Chipote Burrito in a bowl
Dessert - 1 square of milk chocolate
I just didn't really have time to eat! I'll try to get more greens and fruit in the coming days!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!

Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23

No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.

My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.

I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.

It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!

Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
