Learning & Moving Forward

<p>Hey friends! This week is moving right along and I hope you’re having a successful one!</p> <p>I was running behind this morning so I made breakfast at work. It was  the usual combo of <strong>PB2</strong>, a <strong>small sliced banana</strong> and <strong>oatmeal</strong> for <strong>4 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHzTq-Gqe4qTKKZl_V1cTlJgU4NdkHAtbseUNo8npNu3mhOeS1sGghj03zYFRUOOZYVh93pi_C_Uk0R8T2CDFDkw5jmZ3d7ICOssQWhGmF1RS42tlk24-lu-YO2yFd_XI2rm9cpNJR9ve6/s1600-h/DSC06784%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06784" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhltaMoBQaq8pwAeSYwUSEDDyW-OAit8q7StyuMfDr0kRLmg4duzSKDGQVB557ZYs0vNJmvvtXgByLGv2eLQNBP_tDoLy9-ZyELPClZO-BTP4cc7YlmODbhNfsPCohNBzln_i019bmF28HZ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06784" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I feel like I’m still trying to get caught up at work…slowly, but surely I’ll get there! For my morning snack I mixed up these two lil guys, <strong>ww strawberry yogurt</strong> and <strong>1/2</strong> of a <strong>sample box</strong> of <strong>Total</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTr97uRjgOvqAsYTp8Q_90RY5FXYlHY75y7qyQ6Wc9uu3tDiufiy8E6k1Lx1j-hiCh2OomjIGJXQfNSZoEFuCfiF_M4hqAPC4AJK0HHGxgMULfTq5pRV7akqNb0VG9LZQ-hv7vM00bOWAt/s1600-h/DSC06786%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06786" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qxDHroIwv8DVBaVSTw6LjihOr2suMiHkjdhu0wYp77upkaP82EXRyQ35jp2arv6HpbYoPkx3YGN1WfOa95DpsELB52HTalWc753yfW7d3JfihI9975Y9O50mFmN3QuvxkxAdSELaW1L3/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06786" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Lunch wasn’t coming quick enough so I snacked on these <strong>crunchy</strong> <strong>carrots</strong> with <strong>ff ranch</strong> to get me by and it did just the trick! The amount of ranch I ate was minimal so I’m counting this as a <strong>0 point</strong> snack. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx6qW0IF8H72jyuO4-HgnK-z2PgLiOEFmWHwEe3eNIjaWznSaftIf1PjkbRqdHEtJG54XwMkDBqteaxtPHCOJ-Dz3maYA4HyU2u-UAR2JdWmWB5eS21z4nJiKbfZIr44I7sAGhKMU2BY9g/s1600-h/DSC06787%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06787" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOIANtXM8sQ-GJcNCRBT7xvbadz4py_Yh4jbnfo3rfQpPPGm3W9c8Q_LgXoMDe4PxpwVz7RFljhoBLnj99kOMCTFL1nmGhtFyW9wtHR8dQA0zBGMaMgaaysq1opC4LTJmVMB7oIFGtD3Jx/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06787" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Over my lunch break I ran to the post office to ship a book I listed on Amazon…yesterday!! I couldn’t believe it sold that quick!! Hooray, it was only collecting dust in my house! ;)</p> <p>I had limited time at home so I had a quick <strong>turkey & cheese sandwich</strong> for<strong> 3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu1ALJOXrfIJ_YWusijvxW17CjutuQhdv9iHfFQRCSlbccwGWFI6fJ1pS1hwHK0Jk1WLg67tjrQtScvVwZHlEV4ND9oOqX38aKEDkZK07ZLzE7riAutTh0RZOkESYfA9BDmQ1cQAOYDD9E/s1600-h/DSC06788%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06788" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Si80JyI_fObFL6h_nuVDJYN4VpXRD1c5R99SADRLlVWkE61W8gFtJWLnDycU5CSqh7CLqvk2sOCjOCzUvbRAEuwPfwafq4gVU2p2aFMzvoucxU7NryYOGDst0INuj9Wun-XYzyR3BDH8/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06788" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I also had <strong>1/2 cottage cheese</strong> with <strong>1/2 peaches</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjv-2w6buLOA-aXTYWOIRs-aozMYyRsdL6ItnikNWKpKFVUOKq3ZaauIE8y1vY0nZ6GXmO7qCHCsFVZ3vs4GMHATpVQRO1__-4VIh-QgbToeyYsSLG2rTViynBgTmQiRLIrJ0hTFnOcJ7/s1600-h/DSC06789%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06789" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_hInW6bccSjQMULVdhoTK8dDQVSWdcFr3YdmnGNKjX5_IY1qGzEchYJ9bRdzqrJ41Gi0M4PSI7xAiBDfeeIArEO2Pyadc1XC_CvQ5OwKfhlitwpBtzc2EpzTsBsCO2ZTJoJGooxfn1BxZ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06789" width="404" /></a></p> <p>After my quick lunch I was craving something sweet so I went for a <strong>peanut butter fiber one bar</strong> for<strong> 3 points</strong> and it satisfied my sweet craving!</p> <p>I was uber productive at work this afternoon and quitting time rolled around before I knew it. I came home and heated up the last piece of <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/feeling-good.html">pizza casserole</a> for<strong> 6 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEv93OABTpIXGwq4g-A9cWSUmfUsjj1h76ZfnjrLtzUzG7YnzfrcYKXWKOizSnhxPecmFUQFHG77a7m7X-e6XKPmrvURi2q1Fr_VAHNqpO8U3zMwkLkWXKox40hXvCpoxOYS8GzsE06E5/s1600-h/DSC06790%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06790" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD-66GCS-VA90AVJOlRXh8_lz0m4W20_yxsA3_-7A84oPBLsl3zrw6JcuVwVtB8IFeEYHNhOlF4IscvlwkIp-JcnWMIB0rJ3og55M8fPKM_tim3lECCDGBXFFPiMegqTty3iN9Hdn0zPGM/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06790" width="404" /></a></p> <p>For some reason that didn’t fill me up or I didn’t wait long enough for it to settle. I then proceeded to have a piece of <strong>string cheese</strong> for <strong>1 point</strong>. Then I “<em>thought</em>” I was still hungry and I ate some cereal with Kyle (that’s what he ate for supper :p). I had <strong>honey nut cheerios</strong> with a <strong>small banana</strong> for <strong>6 points</strong>.</p> <p>At the end of this was more than full! Why does my head do this to me? I would have been fine without that cereal. I can’t dwell on it though. I must <strong>learn from it</strong> and <strong>move forward</strong>! That’s the only thing I can do! :D</p> <p>Kyle & I are behind on BL episodes, so we caught up on one over the internet before hitting the pavement for a run. We ran <strong>2 miles</strong> in <strong>20 minutes</strong>. I think it was tough on me because of everything I ate, my legs are super sore from the <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/ready-for-rockin-week.html">Jillian DVD yesterday</a>, and the 20 mph winds didn’t help either! But I pushed through! One of these days I need to pick  up my mileage…the Dam to Dam 20K is less than 10 weeks away! </p> <p><strong>TUESDAY’S STATS <br /></strong>POINTS = 27/23 <br />WATER =   108 oz <br />EXERCISE = 20 min run</p> <p><strong><font color="#400040">QUESTIONS ANSWERED</font></strong></p> <p>I got 2 questions yesterday and wanted to make sure and answer them before I forgot! ;) Thanks for the questions! </p> <ul> <li><strong>Question</strong>: what exactly goes in your protein shake? <strong>Answer</strong>: <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/ready-for-rockin-week.html">Monday</a> I used <strong>1 container</strong> of <strong>WW strawberry yogurt</strong>, <strong>1 1/2 c frozen strawberries</strong>, and <strong>1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein</strong> <strong>powder</strong>. I only used 1/2 scoop to keep my points lower, but still get some protein in! I really want to start adding some spinach into my smoothies…but I’m nervous! </li> <li><strong>Question</strong>: Does Kyle cook anything for you?       <strong>Anaswer:</strong> You can more than tell from my blog that I am <strong><u>not</u></strong> a “chef” by any means and I would have to say Kyle is less of a cook than I am! But when it comes to breakfast he is “<strong>the man</strong>”!!! He is most definitely willing to help, but for the most part I do the majority of the cooking! </li> </ul> <p>I know many bloggers did the “Ask Me Anything” a while back…I never did get on that bandwagon, but I hope you guys know that you are always<strong> more than welcome</strong> to ask anything at all!! I don’t have any secrets! ;)</p>
