Just the motivation I need...

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow morning starts a new fitness competition at my place of employment. This fantasy fit league challenges teams to score "fantasy miles" (points) by doing various activities. Points are also scored by walking (pedometer is used to "double dip" for points) and weight loss.

I can't let my team down!

Granted, I should be doing this for me - but I really want to just win. Anyone have that coworker, the one who feels the need to spew irrational advice? Mine feels the need to lecture on exercise and weight loss. However, she skips two meals each day - and walks once a week and gloats about her "results." She is also known to cheat on this fit league for the recognition.

Irritating.

I started this WW week on a good note - only .5 into the WPA, and I am full. The fridge is stocked with salad mix, fruits and veggies. Thank to Publix for having a BOGO sale on Diana's Banana Babies! I might have to nosh on one of those later...

Also looking forward to the season premiere of Ruby tonight on the Style Network!

Can't wait to get back into reading everyone's blog. Have a great week!

Good Morning, so far so good...

I've tracked my breakfast (1/2 bagel with egg whites, turkey and cheese; 1 cup of melon) - and packed a healthy lunch.

I'm attempting to guzzle the last half of my nalgene before heading into the shower. It's amazing how much better I feel after water and a multi-vitamin.

Today I will avoid:

• Buying supplemental snacks
• Going out to lunch at a FF place
• Sneaking candies from "free" candy bowls
• "Forgetting" to drink enough water

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Wow, it has been too long...

Wow, it has been far too long.

First - I am proud to say that for the first time ever, I have been able to maintain the weight loss. Granted, it is only 15 lbs (with another 100+ to go) - but after a month of not being stringent on WW I have been able to maintain the weight loss.

Time to move from maintain back into loss mode. Today was a moderately OP day. Made a very low point black bean enchilada dinner (click here).

Exercising will be incredibly interesting. The southern sun is getting incredibly hot, and the afternoon are swallowed by rain showers. I'm also back in school, taking 4 classes. I'll be taking this one day at a time.

Look forward to catching up with everyone!
