It's the Weekend, Yea!!!! plus a FREEBIE for YOU!

Photobucket

Ahhhhhh, the weekend is here! Finally! It just seemed to be a long week for me!

To start my weekend off, this morning, bright and early at 8am, I had to take my son's hamster, Chip, into the vet to have it’s teeth trimmed! Yes, I said to have it's teeth trimmed! LOL I guess it is quite common but I just had no idea! $79 later, Chip is a happy camper! We were told that we'd have to keep an eye on his teeth from now on and bring him in regularly to have his teeth trimmed back... thank goodness; it will only be $20 since Chip has now become an 'established patient!' LOL (It cracks me up that I am actually writing about this!) The vet said it is very common for any kind of rodent to have this issue with their teeth. If the teeth don't line up correctly, then they won't naturally wear themselves down, hence the vet visit! LOL Yea! I get to look frward to Hamster dental bills...Oh joy! LOL

Ok, now that that is taken care of, scroll down to grab your freebie! :)

Renewing myself & a Freebie for YOU!

Photobucket


It is absolutely beautiful outside today!
You can surely tell that Spring is on its way to the Pacific Northwest!
It's a time of renewal! This year is going to be better than last year and it is starting off pretty darn good! It's been so good that I have been motivated to renew myself!

I was reading one of our Royal Muses weight loss journey blogs, Weight for the Laugh, then went and read the blog that inspired her, Wii to a New Me. Well that did it for me! I have a Wii and the Wii Fit.
I thought "I can do this!"
Then I thought "I need to do this!"
So, now that my health issues, panic attacks and agoraphobia seem to be getting under control, I am going to do this, for myself.
I am not calling it diet and exercise because those words just sound depressing.
I am calling this "My Lifestyle Modification & Movements!" LOL

On Monday, February 22nd, I started by cutting way, way, way back on my coffee intake and I'm not talking about just a little bit of coffee either. I could easily drink coffee from the moment that I get up in the morning to the moments just before I go to bed. I'm also not talking about a regular cup of java either! I'm talking about those fancy, schmancy coffees....
espressos with the steamed milk, chocolate and flavored syrups!
Oh yeah baby, I'm talking the good stuff! Well, with all of my health issues in the last couple of years coupled with my panic/anxiety attacks and agoraphobia that just seemed to take over, it surely was not good for me!

I'm not a big junk food eater so that isn't a big deal for me. I think that I just don’t eat well enough and or I eat when I am bored. I am not a breakfast person! I just don’t have time to make breakfast in the morning either. So I started to have a Fiber One bar or a piece of fruit such as a banana, with my one-cup-of-coffee for breakfast. I can take them both with me out the door on my way to work!

Another bad thing that I have done is not only skipping breakfast, but I skipped lunch for a number of years, and then only ate at dinner. By then I was really hungry! That is not good for you and it will cause you to gain weight! (Well, crap, I wish I had known that sooner!) Since the panic attacks and agoraphobia started about 2 years ago, if I went out anywhere, I went through drive through fast food, so that I didn’t have to leave my vehicle. If I didn’t go out and about, I ordered in.
So instead of doing that now, I pack my little lunch with healthy items for a snack after breakfast, a lunch, another snack before I leave work because I work 4 – 10 hour days, and then when I get home, I have dinner.
I try to drink water also during the day.

I also started to document the foods that I eat because it makes me more accountable. I am not really cutting anything out but only making sure that I am modifying the amount of calories. I am adding in more fresh fruits and veggies and of course now that I don’t have a huge coffee in my hand at all times, I am increasing my water intake!
(I need to do a much better job at drinking more water!)

The biggest thing I need to work on is movement!
I am trying to make myself walk, taking the dogs for a walk…. Whatever!
Just some kind of movement!
I haven’t used that darn Wii Fit yet! I’m not really sure why!

In the two weeks that I have been making this lifestyle modification and movements adjustment, I am finding that I am feeling better, seem to have more energy and as of today I have lost 4 pounds! Just that little 4 pounds has me even more motivated!
I wasn’t really trying to lose weight but to see what can happen with just a few modifications,
I can’t wait to see what happens when I do try!

Oh and one last comment or two.
The support and encouragement of my co-workers, friends, family and our fabulous Royal Muses CT means so much to me and helps keep me going.
It’s always nice to have others follow along and or take the journey with you!
Thank you all! We can do this!

Well, if you have read this far, you sure do deserve a gift!
How about a freebie created by me, using my new Moooo Kit?!
