Splenda!

I have discovered Splenda packets!! I already knew about splenda and try to buy products with Splenda when possible.

Did you know they make mocha flavored Splenda! And it is oh so good in coffee!! They also make vanilla and hazelnut!

Exercise!

I did it, I took advantage of a hotel workout room. I have never done that! I always take clothes, but always have an excuse. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine and it felt good. I felt like I was in good shape, even though I haven't been doing a great job with working out lately.

Another small victory is I made good choices for dinner tonight and prepared for breakfast tomorrow. I am traveling for business right now and opted to run to the grocery store rather than go out to a restaurant. Go ME!!!

No Weigh In

Due to traveling I did not weigh in this past Saturday and will not be weighing in next Saturday. However, I have been keeping track of my weight at home. I prefer to hold off on posting my official weight until I weigh in again.

I am doing good, struggling a little lately, feel like I hit a wall. I HAVE to pick up on my exercise. I got the Dance Revolution Hottest Party for our Wii. It comes with the mat on the floor to dance on (yes, like what kids do at arcades!). I am very excited to start using that as a form or exercise! I also need to move my hand weights downstairs and do some weight work during commercials when watching my shows. I figure Mon and Thurs are my two tv nights and if I start doing a little on each of those nights it is better then nothing!

Wii

Yes, Nintendo Wii is now a staple in our house. Why you may ask? Well, I had heard what great exercise it could be, and mentioned that to Jason at one point and he brought it up again, and we bought one. Last night Jason and I golfed. You have to use a real golf swing. We both had sore shoulders the next day. Tonight we boxed (no, not with real gloves, and no, not hitting each other!!). If you get your feet into it too you can really get a good workout in. I had to move the furniture and Jason got mad cause I kept getting to close to the tv, like if I got closer I would hit the other guy better or something!!

It has gotten Jason and I both off the couch in the evenings for awhile and I think will be my main exercise each day (other then walking up and down the stairs 5M times each evening). There is a Dance Revolution game I would like to get, and Nintendo is coming out with the Wii Fit in January 2008. There are also a couple fun kids games we can get for Trinity.

Weigh In

Today was my weekly Saturday morning 7:00am weigh in (yes, 7:00am).

Current Weight: 151.8

I gained .8lbs this week. In my mind that is nothing. I can definitely say I expected to stay the same or gain. I have struggled lately with cravings and missing foods. Also, last week was a long week with work, I was tired and kinda emotional, so eating was an easy fix to blank time at work and not wanting to do anything, so fill the time with eating. Why not, huh??

I am hoping to push that re-start button and keep going.

Cute Old Navy Halloween shirts!

This might sound silly, but I have always wanted to buy one of those cute little Old Navy Halloween shirts. But, they are just that, LITTLE!! Last Halloween I got Trinity one there, and tried on a large. It was a bit small. Well, today, I bought one, in Medium!!

MY FIRST CUTE LITTLE OLD NAVY HALLOWEEN SHIRT!!

Now I just have to find somewhere to wear it too!!

Also, I have always admired tight fitting sweaters with tight fitting long sleeved shirts under the sweater. I bought those today too, at Old Navy of course, and yes, in Medium!!

It is these small victories that keep me going.

Weigh In

I am a little late posting about my recent weigh in, sorry. I missed last weekend because we were in Portland for the weekend. So, I weighed in on October 6 after two weeks, and I was down another 3lbs!

Current Weight: 151lbs!

I am feeling great. I have found some great new meal ideas and absolutely love Trader Joes!! I even figured out how to make myself an omlette! I am loving garden veggie egg beaters!
