Ugh

I did not wake up this morning. Connor was in our bed and Taylor had cried out almost every hour last night so I did not get a good sleep so I laid in bed until 4:45am. Bad bad me. And then, since I was SO tired what i did on my way into work??? I went to the snack bar and I got a donut and diet pepsi. Why? Why? Why?

Watched the Biggest Loser last night. All throughout the entire show I just wanted to munch munch munch. I ended up making myself a salad. Better than getting the ice cream right? Especially since I did not run lat night either. Gosh, why am I falling apart? I still haven't managed to come up with a meal plan for next week either. If someone else would go grocery shopping for me, I think I would. I just have no desire to grocery shop. I hate grocery shopping. But it is something that has to be done.

Wow!

Go away for a weekend and a ton of stuff occurs! LOL!

First, I won something! Yeehaw! I forgot I even entered LOL!. Over at orgjunkie.com I won the meal planner! Something I think will help me IMMENSELY! Woo hoo!! Especially since I didn't plan my meals this week. Woops! I was busy. I went away to Laughlin this weekend to have fun and gamble. I didn't win but I had TONS of fun! AND I lost 1 lb this week! Can't complain about that!!!

Second, I now have followers! Yippee! It's the little things that excite me, what can I say. =)

So yeah, I don't have a meal plan this week. I need to go to the grocery store but until then I need to figure out what I have at home (that is weight losing friendly!) that I can make for dinner. I really don't want to go out to eat. But I also have a sick kid at home. Emily is having diarahea. :sigh: We thought it had gone away but came back again yesterday. I hope what it is goes through her system and quickly.

I would also like to report I woke up this morning and exercised. GO ME! I started back up on my Turbo Jam DVDs. I WILL be running tonight. Still have that 5K to do. I haven't run since the first week in January. If I can just end the 5K in less time that my first I will be happy. But I think I will have to run every day between now and then to get ready for it. BAD HEATHER. This will NOT happen again. I will be ready for the next ones.

First Week

Well, I lost 1.7 lbs this last week. Do I deserve it?? Not really. I haven't been watching what I eat, I haven't been exercising religiously and I've been having dessert every night. That has to STOP. It will stop. I'm in a much better mind frame this week. I am going away on a girls weekend to Laughlin this coming weekend. I think I need this weekend away from the fam to just relax and enjoy and get away. As much as I love them, I need a break too!! LOL!

Menu Plan Monday

I have planned my meals (or should I say the family meals since I won't be home Friday or Saturday night) for the week as follows:

Monday - Quick Fix Skillet Burrito
Tuesday - Chicken Fajitas
Wednesday - Hot Dogs
Thursday - Enchiladas
Friday - Three Cheese Penne Pasta Bake (made ahead so dh just has to throw in the oven)
Saturday - Pizza
Sunday - Leftovers

A Successful Day?

Depends on what you call successful. I ran last night. Felt good too! I'm severally behind in my 5K training so I have to "speed up" my days of running and skip some breaks. Not great I know but I did this to myself. So last night I started on Week 2. It really wasn't bad. Didn't feel like I haven't ran in 3 months so that's a good thing. I also found a new podcast this lady did Suz @ kissmyblackass.org. Oh yeah! It's my kind of music (hip-hop) and she put in the cues of when to run and walk for the Couch 25k program. I am so LOVING it!

As far as food, I did have a haystack yesterday afternoon. The darn Christmas candy is still sitting here on my desk for everyone's consumption. I don't want to throw it away but I know I should. :sigh:
