Midweek update

Good Evening!! The week is half over. I am so ready for a quiet weekend. Today was pretty good food wise. Let me tell you about it.

Breakfast -- honey nut cheerios with 2% milk
Snack -- banana
Lunch -- grilled chicken fettuccine
Dinner -- turkey sandwich

I got sick about 30 minutes after lunch so I didn't feel good all afternoon or tonight. I have heard many people talk about having a stomach virus and I really, really hope that I don't have it. I am still feeling kinda queasy so I am taking it easy tonight and drinking lots of fluids. I am hoping that and my bland dinner will help me.

On a good note...my wonderful daughter got straight A's on her report card!! I am such a proud mom!!

I am going to start the 2010 Disney Trip Report tonight so please check it out.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Quick Mid Day Update

Okay....I have to confess. I was bad. I had 2 donuts at work mid morning!! I was hungry and instead of eating my banana I caved. They were not even that good. Why did I waste the calories on that? Well, I ate my lunch as planned (sandwich and chips) and I have had lots of water today. I will do 60 minutes of exercise today to make up for the donuts.

I also added my weight ticker from My Fitness Pal. It is scary that I am putting it out for the world to see but I show my pictures and it is not like you can't tell I am fat. I am trying to get back on track by logging everything I eat, drink and exercise. Keep me posted on your progress!!

Well, my lunch time is over so back to work.

Talk to you later!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Exercise for today

Yeah! I completed my 30 minutes of exercise today!! It was actually 32 minutes on the Wii Fit Plus tonight. I know that is not a real workout for some people but I was sweaty and got winded doing it. I am quite overweight and have not really exercised consistently for a long time. I was going to the gym and trained with the trainer but due to trying to save $$ we cancelled our membership because we were going to work out at home. Well, that has been 2 months I think and I can count on one hand how many times I worked out. That is the past and now I am focusing on today and planning for tomorrow. It had been 253 (I think that is the correct #) days since I last worked out on the Fit Plus! YIKES!! I had gained 23 pounds!!! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!! (Yes, I am yelling) I keep telling myself that some of that is because of the hysterectomy that I had done a little over a year ago. I had lost weight right after the surgery but then next thing I knew I had gained 20 pounds!! No more excuses though. I have got to focus and get those 20 off plus a 70 more by the wedding and my wedding anniversary. I can do it. It is all about eating healthy and exercising. We all know this but we look for reasons to cheat, excuses anything to not take the blame. Well, I am to blame. All those cheeseburgers, cokes, cookies, and fried foods all the time is what I did. I can do this!! If you are reading this and going through your own weighloss journey or you have finished yours, let me know. I would love to know how you are doing.

So on the Wii fit plus there is an activity called Rhythm Parade. Let me tell you. It is a good little work out. It gets your arms going and you are marching to the beat. You use the nun chuck and wii control to get the symbol. By the end I was tired, I did this next to last. Also the step and hula hoop get my heart up. Now to some people this may be nothing but it was something to me and the way I look at it I did 30 minutes of movement!!

After my workout I drank 2 big glasses of water and fixed my lunch for tomorrow. That way in the morning I can cook my breakfast and eat before work.

Tomorrow's Plan
Breakfast -- 2 scrambled eggs (with Pam spray) & 2 slices of bacon (lean center cut)
Snack -- banana
Lunch -- turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato & chips
Dinner -- Roast beef, mashed potatoes, biscuits & green beans

I feel good tonight and from what I hear after 14 days something becomes a habit. So 13 more days to go.

Thanks again tonight for stopping by!!

Today

Good Evening!!

I hope all is well for you on this Monday evening.

My day was pretty good except for a little worry mid day. My daughter's school was on lock down due to a previous student posting a hit list on facebook. The school and local police worked promptly protecting the kids in school and finding the young man. He was arrested and will hopefully get the help he needs. No one was hurt so at least we know their procedures work well.

I did well food wise today.

Breakfast - honey nut cheerios and 2% milk.
Snack - banana
Lunch - sandwich and chips
Dinner - club sandwich and chips
Snack - sugar cookie

So 1 day down on the eating at home goal.

Now I am off to exercise....nothing major since I haven't done much lately. I think I will do some light activity.

Thanks for dropping by and have a good night!!

Wednesday (10/26/11) Update

Just a little update on how I did yesterday.

My eating was pretty good.

I had a chicken biscuit for breakfast. (I am out of breakfast stuff so I made do)
I had a grilled chicken wrap for lunch.
I had chicken alfredo with green beans for dinner.

We had guest over so I did not work out. I know that was bad. So I have worked out Sunday (trainer program) and Tuesday (walked 1.5 miles at the park) this week. I need to work more on exercising every day.

I am out of food so a trip to the grocery store soon is a MUST!!

That's all I have about yesterday.

Thanks for dropping by!!

Until next time, Have a Magical Day!!

Monday (10/24/11) Update

Just a update from Monday --- It was a great day. I kept my portions in great control for breakfast and lunch but we were running late from work and errands so what did we do??? We went to a local Mexican eatery for some extra yummy food! Did I eat HEALTHY you ask? Nope, not at all unless you count the lettuce and tomatoes on my food. Okay, I screwed up! So today is a new day, and I am prepared for healthy eating and exercise today!!

Breakfast today was 1 1/2 pancake with very little syrup and ice cold water.
The lunch plan is grilled chicken breast and some pasta.
The snack plan is fruit cup.
The dinner plan is chicken and some type of sides.
Also the exercise plan today is to do some zumba at lunch (yes at work!!) and walking in the park tonight when I get home.

Let's see if I can keep it on track today better than yesterday. I will post an update to let you all know.
