Trisha's Weigh-In

I had lots of exercise this weekend :))
I had lots of food experiences, too!!
You can check it all out on my other blog.

Today I was nervous when I stepped on the scale, but ALAS!!! I weigh 209.8!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I lost 2 pounds this past week :))) And, I am now officially--albeit not by much--out of the 210s!! WOO HOO :) I can't hardly believe that I now have less than 10 pounds to pull under 200!!! TALK ABOUT MOTIVATION :)

I gave Stephanie back the Health magazine she gave me. The crazy thing was that I had bought the same magazine(for the first time) right before she gave it to me!! I also gave her a Women's Running magazine, which was also the first time I bought it.

And...

I have a magazine that I am working on to share with Trisha!!! ;)

I LOVE THE HEALTH magazine :)) That was the first time I ever read it!! I will be giving it back next week :))) And, I have one that I just finished reading and need to get sticky notes in it, too!! It's been such a crazy week...

Weekend challenge!

Stephanie here...and I just mapped my route on Google Maps. I am so excited!!!  The road is close to home and has some hills and straight stretches, just like the 5k course next Saturday.  I blogged about my husbands thoughts on this on my other blog, he wants to do this with me now!  But he said maybe next year. 

and for the record I am on Week 4 day 2 of C25K now. 

I am loving the idea of our magazine exchange!  I LOVE magazines!!  So this weekend I will be going through and checking out the one that Trisha gave me yesterday and responding on different colored sticky notes!!!!  LOL!!  how fun!!! 

So I can't wait for weigh in on Monday...I have kept off the scale all week, no peeking for me! :)

Magazine Exchange!

We are doing this super cool magazine exchange! Here’s how it works: I bought a health and fitness magazine that I wanted to read, but hadn't ever yet: Oxygen. As I was reading it, I sticky-noted (yes, I just verbed a noun!) everything that I was thinking as I read it!! So, I gave it to Stephanie today, and she will read it, and sticky note her thoughts, as well as responding to mine, and then give it back to me next week!

Then she will choose a magazine and do the same! How cool is that??? It’s such a positive way to share health and fitness and have an in-depth conversation, which is strengthening our personal connection, too. What else is cool is that we are, in a sense, recycling since we are sharing a magazine! We will expand our reading horizons, and learn lots of new tips!

We are going to do this with magazines we want to read, and even share some of our favorite health and fitness magazines, too.  (I did give Stephanie a Weight Watchers--one of MY FAVORITES--magazine with a zillion sticky notes in it as part of her present for mastering the physical challenge earlier.)

Did I mention I love sticky notes? All the more reason to love this exchange!
