Spring into Fitness Week 1 Update

Week one is over and here's where I am. I did really well on exercise. I got up at 5 and worked out 30-40 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and we did the big hike on Saturday. Tuesday I woke up with stomach pains and stomach issues and exercise do not mix, so I skipped my workout that day. Sunday was Easter and I just didn't get a chance to workout that day. I did fly a kite that day though, so I got at least a little exercise.

For eating, I definitely ate more fruit and veggies. And during the week my eating was awesome. I did a really good job of keeping myself healthy and portioned well. Saturday morning I was really bad. My family went out to breakfast before hiking and that meant the breakfast bar at Frisches. Buffets are my achille's heel. I just want to keep eating and you know not everything I'm picking up is healthy.Sigh. At least we did go hiking after, and I ate well the rest of the day, but still. Sunday I was really proud of myself, because I kept myself away from the worst foods and really watched myself. Yay me!!

Sunday night I bit the bullet and decided to join Weight Watchers online as well. I have done so well with the weight watchers system on my own, but since I have hit a plateau I figured I would give it a try. I will let you know what I think. Hopefully that can push me past my stoppage and get me back to losing.

I am skipping weigh in and measuring this week. I have been majorly stressing out about not losing, and the fact that my wedding is only 6 months away and I can't fit in my dress. I'm panicking, so I am not going to weigh myself for a week to make myself stop focusing on that. Next week I promise.

I am madly in love with my new hat. :)

Sounds like you had a good week! Hey, don't weigh yourself if that is going to affect your outlook. Just hang in there and connect with your muscles!!

Yay you!!! Keep up the great work!! Don't do the weigh-in thing especially if it is going to push you into stress mode. Who needs that! Just do the best you can. Don't beat yourself up when you stumble. Just pick your self up into a positive frame of mind and press forward far far away from the dark land of would-da, shoul-da, could-da.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
