FRIDAY 2/21 - Cardio & Cafe

Okay gang we've made it through another week.

I live for my weekends (even the busy ones). I think I'm an oddball because I do much better staying on track on the weekends than I do during the work week. Just got to make it a point to drink, drink, drink. It's also much easier to get my exercise in. I wore my pedometer one Saturday last year just to see how many steps I'd take during the course of a cleaning, shopping & laundry day. It was over 12,000. The majority of those were taken right inside my house. That's far above my normal, sedentary lifestyle. I think it just might be time to clip that little gadget back on my waistband and shame myself into action.

The plan for today is another simple one:

Commute: Coffee

Breakfast: 1/2 cinnamon Bagel with cream cheese

Lunch: Frozen entree

snack: Peanut butter & celery (I swear I'm addicted to it!!!)

Dinner: Mexican  (either fish taco or shrimp fajita)

Yall have a GREAT day & be sure to remember those vitamins and fluids!!!

Morning! I signed my family up at the gym yesterday and was all set to get up this morning and have my first workout with a trainer and my baby girl started coughing pretty bad.....  Poor baby. I thought she was getting better. Anyways, maybe if the cough clears up we can go do a workout when daddy gets home or at least I can. Speaking of working out.... So I was talking to my hubby about what I should eat before I go, I said a shake at first and thought it wouldn't sit in my stomach as long as something solid. So than I mentioned some turkey and a string cheese and he said it was a bad idea and yet again compared my stomach to his.  Does anyone else have this issue? Even after all this time he still doesn't get it sometimes! Anyways.... Thanks for listening to my rant.....

my eats

breakfast: 3 eggbites (artichoke and spinach) some sour cream for sipping and a slice and half of bacon. COFFEE!!!!!!

lunch: turkey chili and salad

snack: a shake and later a Greek yogurt raspberry with some mini chocolate chips thrown in

dinner: taco night I'm going to try really hard to not have a shell! I have a wedding to be in in November and bride wants strapless 

About to take my vitamins and water already poured. Have a great day!!!

Well....I weighed for the first time in two weeks......after agonizing over being off track for days.....and guess what....I weighed exactly what I weighed two weeks ago !!!  I was SO relieved !!!

i hope all of you have a great weekend.......talk to you next Wednesday........I am leaving early (5:00 am) Sunday morning for a three day conference with 5 high school girls and another sponsor in San Antonio !   We are staying right on the Riverwalk.  I know we will have a great time and learn lots at the conference.  It is a conference for TAFE......Texas Association of Future Educators. 

Tess said she needed to take some time off...feeling overwhelmed with personal life issues sometimes interferes with our online life.  She did say, however, if you (we) had any questions that you may send her a personal message, however. 

We miss her but we all can relate.

I got fitbit as a birthday gift and I like it...on day I do OK, but not so much when I get only 3-4,000 steps.. 

Most days I get close to 6500 steps.. not a lot... but if I try I get over 8,000 (my daily average goal that I am not meeting)

I put on my jeans today .. they used to be OK, and I needed a belt before to keep them on.  Not today.. Crap. I had a muffin top... (at least in am)  so I really need to get on the plan.. 

It does not help that I just made a whole 9 x9 x1 fudge to replace the chocolate I can't have (cocoa, coconut oil, some coconut milk, stevia + nuts) .  I know I can't - should not eat protein bars, whey protein shakes,  or cheese or any dairy... or my fav 85% chocolate..  or anything with soy.. so I tried to make some substitute.. I did too good of  job.. But I do hope I can portion that... 

Coffee + miralax

fudge... 

peanuts.. 

turkey meat with veggies

kheema + not sure??? 

wine (we are going out) 

not sure.... what I have for LNS  

exercise: cleaning the house and dancing...
