Just keep typing...

I just cannot seem to keep up with FB, blogging, work, family, and of course working out. Where do some of you get all the time. I am tired at the end of the day and the last thing I want to do is keep typing...just keep typing...keep typing...keep typing.

It has been a while since I took some time to write. We have been busy. Work has been crazy and the next couple of weekends at home look pretty busy...birthday party season.

I was planning on having B's b'day party at a hotel pool with a waterslide, but it was $20 per kid and then we need to feed adults on top of that...we would be into it for $250...before gift. We have opted for the cheaper version...skating and sledding at the lake, back to our house for cake and pizza. WAYYYY cheaper.

P has been trying to keep busy with his new gig, but I think he is a little frustrated as his expectations are a little high. Different industry...different turn around times.

I have been reading more and more about HRMs I really want to get myself one. It sounds the Polar F6 would be the right fit for me. hmmm how do I justify another expense? Maybe when I get my bonus it will be a little treat for me.

Gotta get to work...just thought I just write a bit.

Jillian's Journal

I am listening to Jillian Michaels podcast from last Sunday. She is totally talking about journal ling. She is telling us how important it is to journal - vent - rationalize - etc.

Now she it totally talking about keeping it private, however I think just the idea of blogging thoughts is just as important. So...I stopped what I was doing to write a quick blog.

I have a date to remove "Bob"! I thought he was going to be around for a few months, but it looks like he will only be sticking around for another month. I have surgery booked for March 12th. I told my boss today and he kind of grimaced that I would be off work. Give me a break! It is freakin surgery, if the company cannot go on then I clearly need to make more moola!

The crappy part of this is that surgery is booked at the end of week one of my boot camp! So...I have rearranged by boot camp to start at the spring session - May & June.

No time to add food in right now...

Feeling the “love”

I did the FULL Jari Love DVD this morning. Complete with the new step P bought me yesterday. I actually really enjoy the workout and it is quite tough. I clearly needed a change from Jillian.

The weekend was not great with food choices. Actually maybe not that bad…just a couple of bad meals.

We had friends for dinner Sat. night and I did my greek dinner…pork souvlaki, greek salad, lemon roasted potatoes, pitas with hummus and tzikiki. This is a favorite meal at our house. Yummy. I cut my oil down for the potatoes and souvlaki marinade and found a great lighter greek dressing for the salad. I also used light feta. So I think I made some good choices there and I am sure anyone was none the wiser.

Sunday we went to the neighbors for super bowl, snackies first ( that wonderful seven layer crab dip thing from Safeway), meat and cheese tray, and taco chips. We had homemade burgers for dinner that were fabulous.

So two meals that could tip the scales as far as my daily points, but heh, the super bowl only happens once a year and I tried to compensate with a light healthy lunch. On Sunday we took the kids to the lake for skating- I did 6 laps!! I went onto mapmyrun.com and each lap is just over 1 mile. So, that is over 6 miles of skating, no wonder my hip flexors were sore! My snack after was an apple and cottage cheese.

It looks like another nice weekend coming up, so I am sure we will be back at the lake again.

I have committed to an additional challenge in the BLC WW challenge – 1000 crunches this week. Crunches are the activity this week, and now we have a side challenge going on. The timing is perfect as I was just thinking the other day I have been neglecting my ab section.

Food for the day…
B: fruit/yougurt/protein shake
S: rice cakes and no fat cheese slice
L: WW Smart Ones chicken & veggies & salad
S: chocolate vitamuffin and PB
D: salmon, stir fried veggies, brown rice

Activity for the day…
60 minutes of Jari Love
Additional crunches tonight


WI tomorrow...
