I don’t know about you but I am SOOO glad today is OVER!!!   The whole day was just …. well… I think the picture says it all!!  Yup!  That pretty much sums it up!!  Starting with exercise! My morning walk with Kaki kicked my tush!!  I swear that hill got steeper over night!!  Then the whole getting back into your day to day routine after you’ve had time off.  UGH!!  Even eating!!!  Several days of eating too much food, (some NOT the best choices!) then try to go all day without munching??  THAT’s hard!!  I guess I should be thankful I was at work where there isn’t a lot of available food to munch on.  OHHH LOOK!!! Did you see that?!?!  I found a silver lining!!!  On that note……. See ya tomorrow!

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html  you know… the voting site… in case you haven’t…… you know……. voted.  For me!

Well, the holiday vacation is over. (I don’t wannnnna go back to work!!!  I like VACATIONS!!!)  DH took me to see Sherlock Holmes today GREAT movie!!  That was a perfect way to end the weekend.  But now, it’s time to get back into my routine.   I’m working on laundry, the house is cleaned up.  I’m even planning on getting to bed early, 6:00am comes wayyyyyy to early when you’ve been sleeping in.  I really need to get back into my walking/exercise routine!  Yes, that does mean I got on the scale this morning.  NO I didn’t let out an earth shattering scream but I did say a few choice “BAD” words.  So now… back to work.  I like being in my skinny clothes!  At least I had only a minor gain!  I’ve been known to really put on weight during the holiday’s so a couple is okay…… and well…… I did deserve them.  I really REALLY ate a lot!  I did NO exercising!  But now…. I am ready to get back to work!! 

Soooo… anyone wanna come over and finish my laundry so I can go to bed early?! 

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html   AND!!!! you only have to hear me beg for votes for a few more days!!  December 31st, is the last voting day.  (What?  You thought I would forget to add this link?!?!  Have we just met?!?!)

What a great day!  Before I went to bed last night I cleaned the house just to make sure today was a no stress 100% relaxing day!  I didn’t have to do anything!!  DH even did all the cooking!  We watched back to back movies.   I caught up on emails.  Ahhhhhhh perfect!!!   I take holiday vacations very seriously…. I don’t even exercise.  That’s bad, I know….  I haven’t even gotten on the scale to see the damage of this last week.  I guess I better do that tomorrow morning…….. so that sonic boom of a scream in Vista?  Might just be me!  I’ll let you know. http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html  you know… the voting place?    See ya tomorrow!!

Merry Christmas from all of us (even our daughter & her family in Michigan via webcam) to all of you! 

See ya tomorrow!

Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve been runnin’ around like a crazy woman today!! In our house Christmas Eve is our big meal then tomorrow morning is presents and homemade quiche. The house is clean. The presents are wrapped. Turkey is cookin’, pies are done. I am sooooooo HUNGRY!!! Do you think I can gain the whole 28 pounds back in one night?!?
Merry Christmas…. I know I didn’t get you anything this year…. but that doesn’t stop me from askingyou for one!! (MAN!! That’s SHAMELESS!!! Now don’t you really want to vote for me?! I’m considering it my gift!!!)
http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html

I really want my old workout routine back please.  I promise not to complain it’s too early, it’s too cold, it’s too far, the hill is too steep JUST DON’T MAKE ME MOVE ANYMORE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Mom’s mobile if finally empty (with the exception of a few large things my daughter Selena & I needed help moving).  The mobile is clean (okay NO white gloves allowed within a mile, but at least it can be shown if then need arises)  Mom is mostly unpacked.  I’m exhausted!!  But, I took every opportunity to make today my workout (I plan to eat whatever I want on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!! So I need to store up exercise credits… that will work right?? I took tons of trips up and down stairs.  Scrub floors on hands and knees. Did squats using boxes as weights. 

Now I’m off to make my homemade Cranberry sauce and my Christmas Day quiche.  Ohhhh makes me hungry just thinking about all the goodies to come my way!!

By now you know the last paragraph by heart…. vote for me!!  PLEASE!!  And I’ll see you tomorrow!

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html

Today’s exercise consisted of moving!  Nooo not the moving like a workout dvd or a power walk.  But the moving as in finally getting my Mom moved out of her mobile.  We are about 75% moved!  WOOO HOOOO!!!! I had GREAT help!!  Zac (I swear the guy is as strong as an OX!!  Boxes I could barely SLIDE ‘em to the next room he was pickin’ up like they were empty!)  Selena and Dan both came to help after they worked a full day!!  I have the best kids!!  Tomorrow morning 7am the fun begins again!! (I really prefer walking with Kaki over this moving workout!!  Besides Kaki let’s me be done in less than an hour……. this multi-all day workout I’m not likin’ at all!!!)  I’m sooo not telling you about my diet for the day.  (Seriously, does anyone eat healthy on moving day!? EVER?!?!)  See ya tomorrow!

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html You know… incase you haven’t voted yet!

Well, I was doing pretty good until I sat down to update my blog. Now, all of a sudden I can hardly keep my eyes open!  WOW I don’t normally go from 60 mph to DONE this quick.  But I am seriously so sleepy I think I will call it a night.

Okay you know the drill at the end of the blog….

(Yes, I cheated this is the exact same ending as yesterday… but I’m HUNGRY!!!  I want FOOD!!)  See ya tomorrow

Yup, that’s me.  Little Susy Homemaker!  I was on such a ROLL!!  Double batch of fudge DONE!  Double batch of Brandy Sauce DONE!!  6 batches of Biscotti….ahhh…… NOT DONE!  Seems SOMEONE … DH  I mean RH (RH for ROTTEN Husband) forgot to buy flour.  (okay maybe I forgot to put it on the list.  BUT I baked all day!!  He HAS to be in trouble for SOMETHING!!) But 3 batches are done.  I have sampled and tasted and picked at  the crumbs all day.  BAD BAD BAD CONNIE!!  THIS IS WHY I DON’T BAKE!!!!!  I eat too much when I do!

BUT! I have a fix to the holiday weight gain!  I’m so excited!  I get to have a House Party and try out YOUR SHAPE it’s a new Fitness game for the Wii staring Jenny McCarthy.  The game arrived today.  I’ll get it set up this weekend and practice a little before my party.  The game looks pretty cool!  It has a motion tracking camera that projects your workout on the tv. The game has over 400+ exercises. I’ll let ya know what kind of a workout I get (hopefully!) this weekend.  Cause with all the munching I’ve been doing I need a boost in my workout! 

Just so you know, I’m making sure that there is a link to the voting site at the end of every post just in case you still haven’t voted.  My hope is you’ve found my journey inspirational and you will vote for ME ME ME!!  One vote per email address here is the link http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html so you go vote…and I’ll see you tomorrow!

I missed my blah blah blah post last week.  It’s amazing how the holiday’s throw life into fast forward! This week I walked with Kaki minus the weighted vest but added the new Sketcher Shape Up shoes.  I dunno if this would make anyone else say “hummmm I wonder…..” But, I have these nice new and expensive shoes ($109!!) would adding the 30 pound weighted vest make the soles wear out faster?  Would it do anything to the curve of the shoe?  I think it’s just me being a ding-a-ling.  I mean I was 28 pounds heavier…That’s almost the vest weight.  So wearing the vest shouldn’t make a difference.  Right? Anyway, I added the jump rope 3 days this week.   I was sorta good with my food choices.  It’s CHRISTMAS TIME!!  There is so many temptations!! Homemade cookies, fudge, breads.  IT would be RUDE not to sample!!  (Besides I think I heard somewhere if you stand balanced on one foot calories don’t count!?  Ya know like if you eat over the sink they don’t count either.  I’m sure that has to be right!!) It’s just so hard to stay on track!!  (Did I mention I’m making Biscotti tomorrow?! And fudge?!  I’m not real bright sometimes!!)  Anyway, I’m down 28 pounds!  YEA ME!!  2 pounds to go, but, with a Christmas party this Saturday I’ll be happy if I can keep from gaining 5 pounds!! 

Okay here’s the beggin’ part….. vote for me … vote for me!!  One vote per email address here is the   http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html so you go vote…and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Apparently the whole leaving the size FOUR pair of jeans at the store has caused my body to rebel?! I have had such a major headache today I can’t keep my eyes open.  I think it’s my bodies way of saying ARE YA INSANE?!  You need PROOF!  Get the JEANS!?!?  (Are ya buyin’ that?  At all?  Even a little??!)  Okay fine me either.  But I am going back to bed.  See ya tomorrow!

Did ya vote?  Okay wait… did you vote FOR ME!?  http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html  Thank you!!

WOWOWOW!!  I went to Kohl’s after work tonight shopping for a pair of jeans.  (Now my disclaimer here is the jeans I tried on had stretch to them but STILL!!) I HAD MY BUTT IN A SIZE 4!  That is a FOUR!  The last time I have EVER been in a size FOUR there was a T following the 4!  A FOUR!!! A SIZE FOUR pair of UGLY jeans.  Which is one of the reasons they didn’t come home with me.   The other reason is I would have left that sticker down the thigh that said 4 on the pants…. and really!?  I’m obnoxious enough without the sticker.  A FOUR?!!?  I even went out and picked up 2 other colors convinced that the jeans were marked wrong.  They weren’t!  I could zip them up and STILL BREATHE!!!  Just to be able to say I own a size FOUR pair of jeans I may have to go back tomorrow.  Ugly or not a FOUR is a FOUR!!  A FOUR!?  I am still amazed.  A FOUR?! WOW!!

Now it’s the VOTE for ME!! plea. Click on the link below.  The voting box is up on the right hand side. Do I have to remind you the name?  It’s Connie… Me ….. (you know …. that girl in a size FOUR PAIR of jeans?!?!?!)  Did I mention I could even SIT DOWN IN THEM!?!?  Okay sorry… I’ve never been in a four before! I’m a little A LOT amazed and shocked!

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html 

Do you really want a really great ab workout?!  Go to lunch with a good friend!  Wait… not the lunch part exactly. But go to lunch with a girl friend that makes you laugh like crazy!!  Tita THANK YOU!!  My stomach still hurts!!  I’m even counting lunch as my exercise today! I would have walked this morning but you’all know I can’t walk without Kaki!  (So it’s all Kaki’s fault I slept in!)  BUT! I really do try to have to have SOME type of exercise everyday and today I picked eating  laughing!    See ya tomorrow!

Here comes my plea for votes!!     http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html

How many weeks have I been trying to deep clean (ohhhh who are we kidding… skip the deep part) clean this house?!?!  This house is SO CLEAN right now that I can’t decide if DH and THE dog should live with Kaki & Lee or send them to live with Selena & Dan.  

I’m exhausted!  But floors are scrubbed, laundry is done and even the fish tank is clean!!  Oh this feels GREAT!!!!  Wouldn’t it be great if you could do a deep clean on your house and have it stay that way for ohhhh EVER!?!?  Or at least a week!?

I forgot to update you about the Sketcher Shape Up shoes.  I wore them all day on Thursday and then on Friday I was SORE!! From wearing SHOES!?  How amazing is that?!  The shoes are comfortable.  But they do make you stand up straight.  They do make your abs contract. The shoes work your glutes, calves and thighs!  I recommend these shoes!   The Shape-Ups make me wish I could wear them with a skirt!  

Okay, I’m off to fold that last load of laundry and wrap some packages that have to get mailed this week. 

See ya tomorrow!  

Ohhh and did you remember to go vote?  (As in vote for ME?!)  It’s only one vote for email address.  So yes, Ray you and Lael can both vote for me!!  http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html

So now the challenge of Holiday dieting begins!!  Today is the first Christmas/Birthday party to get through and still manage to lose another 3 pounds by the end of the year.  In my favor is the fact that everyone I know is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution.  And not in my favor is that EVERYONE I KNOW is aware I’m on a diet for the Half Year Resolution.  I either get the LOOK that says “Can you have that!?”  or “So how’s the diet going?!”   So I will try and set a good example tonight.  BUT if I drop my napkin under the table tonight it is NOT POLITE to follow me!!  I’ll be back up at the table in a moment and just because I have crumbs on my chin doesn’t mean I was cheating!!! 

If you haven’t had a chance I’m hoping you will take a few moments and go vote for me!  (Me as in Connie!)  Thank you!!  THANK YOU!!!!

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html

Oh and Happy Birthday LEE!!!!  You’re HOW OLD?!?!?

The voting site is back up!!  So to recap…..I am hoping you have found my journey to be inspirational as well as entertaining. If so please… VOTE for ME!!  If not… well, vote for me anyway!!   (As in me me me Connie me me me!!!)

The voting box is up on the right hand side.  It looks like this time you have to enter your email address and date of birth.  You won’t get any emails from Channel 10!!  It’s just a validation step. 

So please go vote!!  Ohhh wait!!!   Now would be a great time to show before and after pictures wouldn’t it?!?! 

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html 

Okay now you can go vote.  See ya tomorrow. 

 Today was my weekly phone call withTyler at WellStrong Fitness.  Since I’m down again this week (27 pounds total!!  WOOO HOOO!!) Tyler wants me to add an extra time with the jump rope, I don’t have to do a lot 5 to 10 minutes a couple times a week should do it. The little extra exercise will help my body continue to burn the fat.  Burning fat GOOD!  (course I’m still irritated that HotFLASHES don’t burn fat!!)  This is day 3 that I wore my Sketcher Shape-ups only today I wore them all day (They are very comfortable! It’s 10:00 p.m. and I still have them on!) The way the Shape-Ups are designed with the round soles you are forced to align your body when you walk which made me very aware of my abs. My abs feel like I did a bunch of crunches. Now, I wasn’t sore this morning when I woke up, but before today, I’ve only worn them for my walk (so about 50 minutes each morning).  Today however, I’ve had them on all day!!  That might not have been the brightest idea I’ve had if I’m sore tomorrow.  I’ll let ya know.  (LOL like I’m NOT going to complain if I hurt!  HELLO!??! Have we met!?!?)  See ya tomorrow!

Okay commercial done.  WHEW!!  You’ll be happy to hear I didn’t put my hands on my head.  I stuttered thru a couple of takes and Trudi worked her magic and put them all together to make the winning video!?  It will be if you’ll go vote for me on Monday!  Did ya see how I just threw that right in there?!  THAT was shameless!!  (Here is the link, ohhhhh it’s just painful to watch myself talking about MYSELF!!)  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Half-Year-Resolution/227962245163?ref=mf

So I rewarded myself and I bought new shoes!! I bought a pair of Sketcher Shape-ups for walking.  (DH can’t make a fuss over these….. because exercise shoes don’t count as real shoes!)  I’ll let ya know what I think next week.  I wore them on my walk with Kaki this morning and I didn’t feel any difference, but the video says you may be sore in your thighs and glutes the next day.  Trust me you’ll hear about it if it’s true.

Okay now you can go watch the after video.  Here is the before picture to remind you where I was when the Half Year Resolution started on July 1st. 

(Do you think it’s lazy if I re-post this same entry on Monday when voting starts??)  

See ya tomorrow.

I may not have exercised this morning, but, I’m sure the hyper me runnin’ around like a crazy person burned a lot of calories. I’m taping my 60 second commercial at Channel 10 tomorrow.  I need to dazzle and intrigue people to come read my blog and vote for me.  So far I’ve ruled out begging Paaaaaaaaaaleeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeee for 60 seconds. I figure that MAY NOThave the desired effect, cause my voice will get all high pitched and nasaly…. naaa not a good idea.  So…. words… I have to have words.  I also need to figure out what to do with my arms. Don’t be surprised if in my little commercial my arms are over my head and “dream talk mumbling” is pouring out of my mouth. Oh it’ll be funny to you… entertaining even!  But will it make strangers vote for me?!?  Probably not.  So, other than the whole words thing…… I’m ready.  Dani at The Loft Hair Design in Escondido cut and styled my (very cute, if I don’t mind saying so myself!)  hair.  My outfit is picked out.  My toes are painted… I’m ready!! Except ya know…. for the words thing.     See ya tomorrow.

P.S. I love you guys!!  I really am such a lucky girl.  Thank you for all the comments and notes from yesterdays blog.  You made my day!

It’s been a long time since I’ve thanked you for reading my blog.  I try not to write sad and depressing blogs but I did tonight. (Yes, you should TURN AWAY!! Turn away!!) But it’s important that you know I appreciate you.  I am a very lucky girl to have you all in my corner!! I really think that with all the stress going on in my life this year had it not been for the Channel 10 Half Year Resolution and this blog I would be at least 30 pounds heavier instead of almost 30 pound lighter. From the small stuff like moving my Mom in with us. To the big things like, grieving over the loss of my younger brother who on Christmas Eve 2008 lost his battle with cancer.  (How long do you suppose it takes before I can go a whole 24 hours without crying?) I can’t believe it’s almost been a whole year without him and almost 3 years since my younger sister died.  (I’m seriously contemplating becoming a hermit in a year. Starting with my father it’s been a funeral every 2 years!!  Soooo I’ll need one’aya to drop off junk food when I go into hiding this time next year!!)  Keeping weight off and losing weight is something I guess you have to be mindful of every minute? EveryDAY!?  Shouldn’t it get easier!? Like, days when DH’s Multiple Sclerosis knocks him down I still want to hit the bag of M&M’s, potato chips and peanut butter. (Did you know that is a really good sandwich?!  The potato chips are the bread and the peanut butter keeps the M&M’s in place! It’s just DeLISH!  Am I a ROCK STAR gourmet junk food chef or WHAT!?!!)  I have learned to have better choices in my kitchen and I try not keep my trigger foods around in large quantities. But it’s a constant battle!!  Like… peanut butter, yes, I know… peanut butter isn’t a bad choice… normally. BUT, it is a BAD choice when you are using a LARGE SPOON and eating it straight from the jar. Anyway, even with all the things I’ve learned your support and comments have been the most important to me and I want you to know how grateful I am to have you in my corner!! It would have been too hard to do this alone. Yup, yup I am a lucky, lucky girl!!   See ya tomorrow!

I guess there was a glitch with the Channel 10 Half Year Voting link.  Sooooo hold off voting till I post again please!!  But PLEASE be sure and come back to vote!!  (Don’t make me whine… more!)

I will be back to post tonight…… this was just a test… had this been a real blog post there would have been ……. oh never mind.  I will be back!

Just sort of UGH today!!  Have you ever just woke up sad?  No reason.  Nothing bad has happened.  I just am having a sad. I want JUNK FOOD!  I want mass amounts of chocolate.  AND potato chips!! I want to curl up in bed.  I want a good book.  Hot cocoa (with tiny little marshmallows AND whip cream). 

Congratulations to Dan and Heather who are in Las Vegas with my daughter Selena.  They ran the Rock and Roll half marathon today.  Dan finished with 2 hours 46 minutes.  Heather finished with 2 hours 20 minutes.  HOLY MOLY!  That exhausts me just THINKING about running that far. I mean REALLY!?!  Running that far… and no one is chasing me with a hatchet?  … I don’t think so.   So now I’m off to do a Jillian Michael’s DVD work out.  Since I DO plan to have a hot cocoa with little bitty marshmallows with my dinner.

Ohhh I had to come back and beg for votes again!!   Whew… that was a close one!   Thank you so much for voting!!!!!!!!!!   http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html  I’ve heard from several people that my links are cutting off the voting box on the left hand side. So if that happens please copy and paste the address into a new browser window. That seems to work.  Thank you again!!

   I know I’ve whined before how much I hate moving/packing.  But tonight as I was helping pack up my Mom’s place it dawned on me…. why not as least have a little fun.  So some of those packed, sealed and categorized/labeled boxes have odd and random items as well.  Things that mayyyyybe came from the trash pile.  Ohhhhh it’s just a small random sarcastic thing that made packing not as bad today.  So my exercise today was: lifting, bending, walking, stacking, folding…..over and over and over again.  I’d like to say we are DONE… but I’ll be hiding more ‘treasures’ a couple more weekends.  BOY, I’ll be glad when the sale goes thru on the mobile and I can gather the troops and stop dragging this out!! 

Quick reminder to go vote!!!  If you’ve found my journey to be inspirational as well as entertaining I’m hoping you will VOTE for ME!!  I’m wayyyyyyyy behind in votes!  So please vote now!!  Thank you so much!!  (That’s Connie…….. me me me!!!)   http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html 

See ya tomorrow!

The voting site is up!!  I am hoping you have found my journey to be inspirational as well as entertaining. If so please… VOTE for ME!!  If not… well, vote for me anyway!!   (As in me me me Connie me me me!!!)

Don’t worry you don’t have to go thru withdrawals quite yet I will continue to blog up till the very last day that Channel 10 will let me!!   The voting box is up on the right hand side.

http://www.10news.com/halfyearresolution/index.html 

I need a ‘can’t sleep’ night every once in awhile, cause I got tons done this morning all before 7am!  Now if I could just get that momentum back tomorrow (my day off) I’d be a happy girl.  Wait… the cleaning part won’t make me happy (I haven’t completely lost my mind! YET!)   BUT, the CLEAN house will make me feel sooo much better.  I’ll crank up the music and make it my workout too!!  Okay, that’s the plan!  Now let’s hope I don’t ‘snooze’ button myself into laziness!!   See ya tomorrow!

I choose tonight’s picture because it was cute and inspirational.  But it’s backfired big time!!  I’ll be dreaming about french fries or a stuffed baked potato.  Okay, this is NOT HELPING!!   But, I REALLY want an order of French Fries and a side of … well… anything chocolate actually.  Dieting would be so easy for me if I could be one of those people that could care less about chocolate.  (It’s hard for me to even imagine those people really exist!!  It’s not natural!!)  How come the foods I’m not crazy about like brocolli or celery can’t be the fattening foods?  Ohhhhh maybe a hypnotist could make me believe that carrots are the ‘wrong’ food…. then I’d really ONLY want carrots??  Now that’s something to think about huh??    I hope you had a great day.  See ya tomorrow.

DH went to the doctor today.  He is on the road to recovery, but he should expect about 2 more weeks of the same aches, cough and sore throat.  It’s a nasty cold, thankfully nothing more serious.  Now, the part that no doctor has ever in my 51 years ever said to me…… But to DH the doctor says ”Your weight is getting to low.  You really need to eat!”   Nope… never ever heard those words from another living soul …. let alone a doctor!!   I get a cold and I gain weight!  Of course, even when he is well, DH says he wants to lose a couple pounds and 15 minutes later BAM!!  pounds gone!!   I would ask to trade places for a couple weeks… but boys have cooties!   Anyway, thanks for all the well wishes for DH.  I’ll see ya tomorrow!

Let’s see….I’m trying to decide what to blog about tonight.  I don’t want to tell you I had Pizza AND CAKE for lunch (Happy Birthday Dr. Louie!).  I don’t want to tell you I didn’t exercise today. (Kaki’s sick… remember I can’t walk alone…. scary ummm big dogs??  Okay fine I’m just lazy).  DH still sick.  House still an overwhelming mess.  And what I really really want right now??  A big Reese Peanut Butter cup.  Yummmm.  It’s a good thing I’m as lazy as I am or I would be sitting in the middle of candy wrappers with a chocolate mustache right now. 

Instead?  I’m off to bed.         See ya tomorrow.
