Weigh In Monday

And I'm up. To 155.2. That's a gain of 0.8. Not doing too hot the beginning of the year. What went wrong?? I spent the day with my son on Friday and enjoyed a donut for breakfast, a mini hamburger and fries for lunch with part of his sundae, but I did eat leftovers for dinner that night instead of hitting up McD's. =)

Then Saturday, since I had a donut on Friday dh was like go get a dozen donuts for breakfast on Saturday. So I did. So I have a donut for breakfast and then we went to Hometown Buffet for lunch (where I was NOT good) and then for dinner we went to Jack N the Box. So talk about a whammy of a day. I keep  telling myself I need to make a list of what I can eat at the various fast food restaurants since we do tend to eat out a TON and I still haven't done it. Maybe I'll work on that this week.

I am still on track with TJ. =) Yeah. This week is a light week thankfully as I need a small "break". But I will continue to wake up and do it. AND I will continue to run this week too. I have my 5K coming up in a couple weeks and although I know I probably won't do better than my last time, I would like to finish right around 40 mins so I better keep going.

I need to journal better this week. Needless to say I did NOT journal Saturday or Sunday (and I did pretty good on Sunday. Call no journaling Sunday pure lazyness). Today is going to be interesting as I have training outside the office and therefore have to eat out for lunch. I am bringing my breakfast (yogurt and rice cakes smashed up to be mixed together). I guess I could have made myself a sandwich or salad and brought that for lunch. Hmm. There is still time. We'll see.

Upcoming Review - Stay Tuned!!!

Remember back in December I talked about an upcoming review for CSN Stores?? Well, I received my product - the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender about a week before Christmas. With Christmas and New Year festivities there was NO WAY I was going to be able to pull this baby out and use it but guess what?? I have an upcoming recipe I am making this Sunday that I plan to pull it out and put it to use. So stay tuned!!!

Week One Perfect 10 Challenge Update

Well my first week of the New Year, ain't that great. It's basically 50/50. But I will turn it around because I plan to be very close to goal by the end of this challenge. In fact. I plan on losing 14 lbs during this challenge. I can do this! I WILL do this!!! Here's the update (I'll condense my 2010 goals that fit into the Pefect 10 window):


2. Journal EVERYDAY - Did NOT journal 1/1, 1/2 or 1/3

Turbo Jam Challenge - Update

So as you can see above - I've been doing pretty good on my Turbo Jam Challenge! I've only missed three days so far. YEAH! It was SO hard to wake up this morning. Ugh. But I did it. I wanted to sleep longer but I got and was glad I did when the video was over. One more day this week of TJ and then I can rest for two days!!

Book Review - Letters to Rosy

I read Letters to Rosy by C. Ellene Bartlett and thoroughly enjoyed this book! This book was a little difficult to understand. At first, I thought this whole book was written as letters. It is not. It's written with a letter and then a story attached to the letter as if writing a short story. There are two ladies writing back and forth and each woman is telling a different story. The way the author shows this is by using numerals for one person's chapters and written out numbers for the other person’s story. I have to say, I really enjoyed the stories once I figured out how to read the book. Both stories were beautifully told and very intriguing. Definitely a good book to read.
