Tonoogle Talks

I hate when I plan to do something and then it seems all hell breaks loose and one thing after another pops up. Today is one of those days. I planned today to go walking at the mall to start my week out right with exercise, then come home and wii and EA Sports Active. Seems life had other plans for my day.

I again have made plans to walk in the morning but this time I have my step-mom going with me.  I have to pick her up at 8:50 am seeing how the mall is across the street from our neighborhood. There should be NO excuses for me not to walk.

Tomorrow is another day and I will not beat myself up over it.

Today started another 30 Challenge with EA Sports Active and the Wii Mommies. Both, are AWESOME by the way. Anyhow, they together with my inner-will will be my strength to get me back on track. As of this morning I have lost 45 pounds officially and an excited to hit the big “50”. When that happens we are going shopping, not grocery shopping mind you we are going to by an new pair of sweats or something that will keep me warm I think I am still used to Florida weather.

BTW any “Fashion Police” out there I NEED YOUR HELP! I am not kidding, I am not being negative I am totally 100% serious. I would post pics but well don’t have any because I know it’s bad. If you need a project to work on; work on me. I am sure you have your work cut out for you.

Short one today, as I am running out of time. I should have had this done last night but I didn’t.  I slacked and watched the Daytime Emmys. Everyone there was absolutely beautiful and Congrats to all the WINNERS out there. For next year, Look out because @Ali_Sweeney and James Scott is going to WIN!

Today’s Fittness Friday might be a little different; different as in not so much about working out but keeping yourself and your mind clear and focused. We all know what we have done this past week; whether you have been good or bad it’s ok to slip up. We all have a time when we need to take a break mentally or physically. We do however need to realize what caused the slip-up and try to avoid it next time.

I am the world’s worst (honestly) about putting things off till a later time. This week I have done that exact thing with my work-outs. Being honest with everyone that reads this I am by no means perfect as much as I would like to say I am (just kidding) I am not. I have been very excited about the 45 pounds so far but it is slowing down to the point I am seriously slacking. However, I do realize what I am NOT doing.

The past few weeks I have been struggling with details at home (it would have been awesome) with my mother in law (MIL) moving in and getting things planned to go and get her. Now, she is not coming so I feel that I wasted some very good work-out time that I could have fit in. It was the choices I made; I put myself on the back burner. I have heard several times from several different people that you can’t take care of other’s unless you take care of yourself. I agree with that 100%, if you are not 100% you don’t feel good about doing anything.

So, here is a CHALLENGE, I am not saying that I will lose 10 in a week or walk a million-billion steps but by next Fittness/Food Friday Post I will have done my wii 5 days and my EA Sports Active at least 3days and walked at least 4,000 steps a day. Not sure how to show you all daily but I will take a picture of my Wii and EA Sports Active calendar’s and post them with next week’s post. The steps well I will figure out something.

Remember, Drink your water and eat healthy.

Food Friday

What is your green veggie choice? Mine I think is broccoli and zucchini and it’s a newly found greenie for me. I never liked green veggies or anything green for that matter. Try slicing your zucchini like a cucumber and putting a little veggie seasoning on it and popping it in the micro-wave to steam it. Don’t steam it too long cause you don’t want it to lose all its fiber when it’s done let it sit a bit to cool before you eat it so you don’t burn yourself.

Make sure to eat your veggies. It will help in giving you the extra energy for being more ACTIVE and help you stay healthy.

Till next week.

To my defense I tried to get married with no shoes on but he refused.

My Random Tuesday is becoming not so Random.

I look forward to Tuesdays because I can actually write like I think.  Seems I can get away it. Lately I have been thinking a lot about why I do have a blog. I have come to the conclusion that I just like to talk and the thought of someone actually reading what I have to say is kinda cool.

I used to write and I actually wrote a book it was enough to be a book. My dad asked me if I still had it and I do he thinks I need to send it to a publisher.  All they can do is say no, get lost right? I might ya’ never know; I will have to think about that one for a while.

Do not take this wrong I love dogs. I like to sit outside on my back porch and the neighbors in back have the yeppiest dogs ever. If a bird poo’s they start barking. I am talking about the real high pitched screeching ear piercing bark. Is it an insult to buy them a muzzle?

I have to go to the grocery store today. I went this weekend but didn’t get everything because of the foot issue plus I WAS NOT going to Wal-mart on a weekend. I am now going to try going to the grocery every couple of days instead of all at once.  I was told it would possibly save me money need to save money.

Oh hey, I do not have a dish washer but I want one really bad; I also want a disposal. I am going to start looking at them.  It’s time to remodel the kitchen. There is one problem, my stove is ancient and BIG I will have to get another stove in order to have a dish washer and lose a cabinet but I will do it.  It’s worth it.  I HATE DISHES.

We have someone cut our grass; which is great but they don’t weed eat one side of our garage drives me nuts. We have this huge concrete table with three concrete benches in our back yard and he has slowing knocked the benches over and NOT picked them up. This has been over the last 2 months and I cannot take it anymore.  I told hubby that he has to cut the grass from now on.  The guy was here on Sunday to cut our yard and hubby just noticed the last bench this morning; Ohhh, how observant he laughed. 

I guess this is as random as it’s going to get for today. See you tomorrow.

Lord, have mercy! It’s the beginning of yet another week. I am not a fan of Monday but someone told me to think of it as another beginning so sounds good to me.  I am going to try and think of it that way from now on and see how that works for me.

I hope this Monday it not like last Monday. Last Monday I was stung by a bee ok I stepped on the friggin thing. I am allergic and well I guess it wasn’t a rally bad one because I didn’t have breathing issues or anything of that nature but my foot did swell up like a balloon a small one. The swelling and itching stopped for about 4 hours then steadily got worse until today when I went to the Emergency Room because I could not move my toes. Now it really didn’t look that bad but hopefully I will be starting a job this week and I will have to wear shoes URGG I HATE SHOES.

At the Emergency Room first of all our insurance co-pay went up from $50.00 – to $150.00 I am not a happy camper but I did get my very own bed and TV with cable. My dad went with me because hubby was on call this weekend and Dad and I sat and watched the movie “The Fugitive.” I must say it was kind of nice being able to spend time with my dad but it cost me too much money.  I told him next time he had to be a cheaper date and he just laughed at me.

Anyhow, a friend of mine from high school works there I didn’t know that until she popped her head in to check on me.  I thought that was GREAT, I don’t get to see them much and I really enjoyed our like catch up but she had to run as she was at work. We will catch up again soon I hope.

When the Dr comes in he looked at my foot for like 2 seconds and then as he was standing in the door leaving said I was getting an antibiotic and tetanus shot, he did confirm that it was an allergic reaction to stepping on the bee. Although, everyone else was really nice and I enjoyed seeing my friend again; the Dr. I would say well not so friendly. The question would I go back if need be yep sure would, maybe the Doc just was having a bad day. I heard that there was a trauma issues so maybe he was stressed. I give him that.

My foot is doing better and I can bend my toes today (Monday) so hopefully it will be all over soon.  It wasn’t like life threatening of anything but dag’ on-it it hurt.

See yall tomorrow.
