First Set Back

Well, at least this is NO surprise!

I will admit, though, I really did absolutely no damage control yesterday. After noshing on Burger King and two huge bowls of cereal, I consumed 100 calories cakes, grapes, yogurt and chocolate before heading to a steak house for dinner with DBF family.

So, in retrospect, I could have minimized the 1.4 lb gain. Oh well, onto a new day!

Last night, I bought some new workout pants because my current ones have shrunk, lengthwise. I'm excited to test out my new duds today. Except they are BRIGHT blue... oh my.

I also invested in Activia, and dumped those Good Belly shots I was taking. Aside from being just nasty to taste, I truly think they messed up my system. Hopefully, Activia will be better - it definitely tastes better.

To sum up, more exercise this week. Starting now. :)

So til next time, keep reaching for your dreams.

Where'd the exercise go?

This week, I very much traded exercise for warmth and comfort.

I'm bracing myself for WI tomorrow. With -7 on the week, and icy cold fingers just typing this - the outcome is not looking positive.

But its ok, just need to pick myself up by my bootstraps and try harder next week!

I did find a neat website: http://www.mapmywalk.com/

Using Google Maps, it will measure the length of your walk wherever you decide to go!

Keep reaching for those dreams (and stay warm)!

Thank Goodness, Its My Thursday...

Its the new TGIF, TGIMT!

These past two days have been wretched for eating correctly. Ever have those days of busting through work at your desk and realize its almost two hour past your normal lunch break?

Ugh, I hate stressful work weeks.

I am, however, doing better about eating my point this week. I've enjoyed an occasional Starbucks drink, some bacon and even chicken parmesan.

Now I just need to find a balance between eating when I am hungry, and eating my points. I've been able to do both really well - but I don't see the results I want.

Ah, the learning processes of life.

I am .2 lbs from my 10lb mark. I really hope this will be the week!! But getting motivated to workout this week is absolutely killer. Its cold outside, its been stressful at work, and I am incredibly sore (still) from my class on Monday. Volleyball was canceled last night due to rain. I as up at 4:30 this morning, and quickly jumped back under the covers.

One day at a time, tomorrow will be better - I can feel it!

Keep reaching for those dreams!!
