From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

I did not intend to keep combining these two topics, but apparently that is how it is working again this week. Next week I will try to separate these out because they really aren't very related, but for now it will work. Get off your Broom.  This was a particularly hard week for me. I did well with work-outs Monday thru Thursday, but then I had Friday off, so I did not take the time to work out. I did a lot of cleaning though, and more cleaning, and more cleaning. And then on Saturday I had two separate Halloween parties at my house. The first was a witches tea for the ladies of our families. I had a really good turn out, and lots of amazing foods, which is where things got dangerous. After a couple of hours of tea and snacking the ladies left and we began to reconfigure the house for our adult party. Also a great turn out, but even more food, and worse snack foods. Couple this with alcohol and coming down from the stress of getting the house together and I went down hill badl...

I realized that I never did my Get off your Broom weekly update this week. I'm a slacker that way. I thought I would do it now then to update everyone who is following. I got up every weekday morning to work out for an hour before getting ready in the morning. I am taking the stairs instead of the elevator to the 5th floor where I work. I am still doing my WW stuff. I even downloaded a new app for my phone to replace my written food journal which was almost full. The weekend saw a bit of change though. We went to the Renaissance festival on Saturday and if you have never been let me just say that like any fair most of the food is fried or junk food. I didn't do too bad and offset a lot of the eating with all the walking. Sunday was my family reunion and that is just a full day of eating. Again I didn't do too bad, but it was still more than I would normally eat. In the end I came out with a little gain, but feeling really good. Starting the new week I am going to focus on...

It's officially October!!! Huzzah and Hurray!! The Halloween madness has already begun for me. So far I have one swap mailing out tomorrow, and two more that I am working on. I have been hired by a friend of mine to make him a cape. I am holding two separate Halloween parties. And attending a couple more. I need to get my costume together and accessorized. All while going to school and working full time. My plate is full and I could not be happier. This is my favorite time of year. Divine craziness at it's best. I have also decided to join The Domestic Witch in her Get Off Your Broom: A Witchy Fitness Challenge I am still working toward my weight goal and thought this would be a great and fun way to keep myself encouraged and hold myself accountable. Our fearless leader gave us some mini goals for the week and so without further ado. Goal 1: A picture of you ( before picture). Goal 2: Weight: 204.5      Bust: 45       Waist: 39      ...
