I came across a "How To" video website today called HowCast.com. It's founded by former YouTube and Google employees. The site features 7,500 instructional mini-films with entertaining answers to nagging questions. Some of you may already know about it, but it's new to me, so I'm sharing anyway. :) I was just messing around and came across this video...
I ordered this book earlier this week and thought I'd see what else the author had written. In the process, I came across this video on YouTube. I can't wait to get started on the book; it sounds like it's pretty funny. :)
This was my first week back to Weight Watchers meetings and I was down 4 pounds this morning. I wanted to stop in and share that with you. I'd love to stay and chat some more, but I want to watch tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser before I go to bed. LOL!
Don't forget, you can follow me on Twitter. Sometimes I post a couple of lines each day if you want to know what I'm doing. ;)
Have you guys been watching The Biggest Loser? Here's a short video of Jillian talking to her group about how to lose a pound and what crash dieting does to your metabolism...
Since I don't have enough time these days to sit down and update my blog, I'm going to try and post short updates from my cell phone through Twitter.com. They probably won't be too interesting, but at least you'll know I'm alive and well. I can text from just about anywhere. :)
The new YMCA finally opened this week on the campus where I work, so I'm hoping to be able to work out at least 3 times a week before start work. I'd rather work out after work, but it's not an option since they close at 10 pm. Tomorrow will be my first day. I'm so out of shape compared to where I was just a couple of years ago. My plan is to walk on the treadmill at least 2 miles, and then get some strength training in. I'll go from there. A few people I work with joined the YMCA as well, so hopefully I'll have someone to work out with most of the time (I'll be more apt to go if I know someone is there waiting for me).
Ok, well once I figure this Twitter thing out, I'll start posting little messages from my phone so you know what I'm up to. Take care!
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know I'm officially back on track as of today. I'm doing Weight Watchers on my own at home. I don't have time to attend meetings right now with all of the time I spend working.
I also got moved into my new place last month, so things are finally calming down a bit for me now and I feel like I can get into a bit of a routine. The only thing I have to do now is finish my medical terminology class.
Well, I'm off to get ready for work. I'll try and drop in and blog more faithfully. I'm a very busy person these days, so no promises, but I will try. :)
I've been without an Internet connection since April 3rd or 4th. I have my new Internet set up now, but still can't send outgoing email. I've spent the past two mornings on the phone with tech support, so hopefully they'll get it figured out soon.
I'm still working up in the OR at work and loving the quiet. :) My body has gotten use to using some muscles I haven't used in a while too. LOL! Lots of reaching and bending. If I was skinny I'd probably have ripped abs. :) Well, maybe under all of this fat I've got something going on. LOL!
I'm still watching what I eat. I'm down 7 pounds so far. Everyone who started with me at work is still going strong. One woman who is in her 60's swore up and down that she usually gains 3 pounds the first week she tries to lose weight. She didn't lose anything the first couple of days and I noticed all she was eating was fruit and sweets. I told her I was going to have to kick her butt if she didn't add in some protein each day (don't worry, we talk to each other like this all the time, so she dishes it right back at me). She added the protein and now she's also lost 7 pounds. This is a woman who weighs about 100 pounds less than me. She's kicking butt all by herself. LOL!
I have the weekend off. I've been going non-stop for the past month now and I just feel like I need a break. I've decided tomorrow is going to be a fun day no matter what. I've got the day all planned out. I'm going to Cincinnati to a park that's celebrating earth day, then I'm going to hit some golf balls, then I'm going to go for a walk with Riley. Then at the end of the evening maybe I'll rent a movie and just chill out. Sunday is set aside to work on cookbook orders and get caught up on my email. It's suppose to rain anyway so no big deal.
Well, I'd better get off of here. I'm actually at work typing this. LOL! I got done early tonight and thought I'd get a couple of my tests done on the computer (we have to take tests here). Talk to you all later. :)
