BIG News!!!

<p>Hope everyone had a great “hump” day!! Mine was SUPERB!!! I’ll tell you why in just a bit, but first here was my day in a nutshell. :)</p> <p>I got in a quick workout in the gym before work. I did <strong>32 minutes</strong> on the <strong>cross ramp</strong> burning over <strong><u>350 calories</u></strong>. I was a sweaty beast! ;)</p> <p>After I cleaned up I headed to my office and make breakfast quick: <strong>blueberry muffin oatmeal</strong> with <strong>1/4c fresh blueberries</strong> for <strong>2 points</strong>! <u>Good stuff</u>!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYYAN-y9hNlHRZsDtnongNhjJmk0j85dtSz0exXBy8lsokjDJAYy_IWIG28p5m0UzVjVQ_HP6UFm4GR5nPAcpBFA87LPxeIZGra7jSV5QsQbzaHNXIufNMNQSrGnqiGSMgzJitylj84TU/s1600-h/DSC07882%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07882" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTPnDuMdsu1YuMHjcMzoMuRsinX3Jo63wInhPofTDGZMW7E81k-doCGZWcnoCpSxXHNuPrwNVAZF9vXrrNEnhcGuoRtB6wb2v0lN5ZeVNvIXQMVrsVODp5TnHFaV8wwbrS-aM_AD729_3m/?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="DSC07882" width="404" /></a></p> <p>My day was busier than <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/take-that-week-1.html">yesterday</a>, if you can even imagine! I had meetings from 10am-11:30am and then from 1pm-4pm. One was a webinar so I snuck in my <u>morning snack</u>. I had <strong>1 1/2c strawberries</strong>,<strong> ww vanilla yogurt</strong>, and <strong>1/4c granola</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>. <a><img alt="DSC07883" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT6aoVMXsVOj34C75dkwQ9Ap7jhAWy8cyzWGdWUE5N-B3UiaN483E4l-gdLkxu2V-LB_lk_fPPjiuHqcFmpltiSY3lZoWnqBZ_OujGautMIAVUmdtvGPWZ5UIFsRpLAeN6YgbXhMk0QaK7/?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="DSC07883" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I heated up <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/take-that-week-1.html">leftovers</a> quick before going to my all afternoon meeting. I had a serving of<strong> fiesta chicken and rice bake</strong> for <strong>6 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OwPaP_Mm4VPVwTgPIXwFah_FtOS64CCsKP1VDqleF04cGA0OnTAxvHnUMis32w_ILjhL5h0k1XPEPM24W5p_63h4wzvGKWFhTBabeaz6M8KsQqZi6uDQ11rl3QghRN9aPuyMxZYXtOTG/s1600-h/DSC07884%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07884" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDVxPwHXz_ltZDP3_AU6-eo0NdKXBwIEon852pGhqHJnGozFeCF6Zu49qIg-QM3aRYqYZq4kLkLi4Dyk7WwQxbXPDCL2tUiFHsyKwdERgtriVQhMMuaowajII6xJ61RGac17MHDRXflPe6/?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="DSC07884" width="404" /></a></p> <p>I ended up working a little late after my meetings got out and then went with my sister, Wendi, to the 2nd half of her classes. We did the 1st half <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/07/busy-day.html">last week</a>. That is something else I need to tell you guys about!! We’ll save that for another day. </p> <p>On to my BIG news!</p> <p>Anyone remember <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/05/announcement.html">this post</a>? I finally told you guys why Kyle and I were tightening our budget belts. Well, if you don’t, Kyle left his job April 30th and went back to school full time. It was a hard choice that has been coming for a LONG time! We decided that <strong><u>happiness</u></strong> and<strong><u> time off</u></strong> are <em>WAY</em> more important that any amount of money! The goal was for him to find a less stressful job and take night classes. Well…he has been taking night classes since May and today……..</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>.</p> <p>he had a <strong><u><em>job offer</em></u></strong>!!!! We couldn’t be happier!!! So we had to go out to celebrate!</p> <p>Wendi and I met up with Kyle at Applebee's when the class got over around 9pm (I know not the best time to eat supper!). <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRG4XsZF4VtseilJoFai-ALmipwQqFWp91Jxd_sZ-XTvypTGpMHyA6IB4vmpY78ttZ0CBaPVBZF-OvBQ-UcqSGA3oD1KQtuRvB6HV5SDY3F2y4VjCtgVcJtIh3BoQ7fN1EDFw4FKv92T6N/s1600-h/DSC07886%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07886" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtQ0gGqiomSecq0nQqSn0nszgcNMQwV6qX0O847rW54JV0JXl6nLN1napSZBbn51is5Ok7d-k9E7sP6YlAmd-PWRe_vA74wmsLl00LMvfB0MAN8xmCzBuMguseobkmZInUZsJcv5EZ9-R/?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="DSC07886" width="404" /></a></p> <p>The cool thing about it being so late was that they had<strong><u> 1/2 price appetizers</u></strong>. They ordered boneless wings and I ordered <strong>chips & salsa</strong> (<em>only $1.74!</em>). The platter was <strong>HUGE</strong>!! I am estimating I had about<strong> 2 servings</strong> for <strong>7 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwyvgJds_hwzX5H9Dn_-3ww5ttcJ0EESKps4JftupMPQwxKJoJ8Eh1Jft966ebMOWaYW32TtEPTUzpZHsYi-lBUqK4D3CktSAn_BOZ1TM0sLP8TZg6yTBw3vsVuDnS46eJlb7Ki_CyVzcf/s1600-h/DSC07885%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07885" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSQSXi5XUkeCh5F7MlwDQZ3OFQtGzbL16C4c51AsW_73NNdhPbyILDkKZ95T1DiQQQ7GtaQUFMXts_YkXBYgQVSZ0fnvqSe9hi-iIUxxYQtpnEuEG6pdRejenE7xJCbLi8Myy1vJyectod/?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="DSC07885" width="404" /></a></p> <p>For my entree I had the WW option, <strong>Garlic Herb Chicken</strong> with a side of ranch.

The cool thing is that he will be working at the place that I do and it just so happens that my sister, Wendi, is working there too!! My family is taking over! ;) j/k</p> <p>We came home and finished the night off with ice cream sundaes. I had <strong>1 c ff frozen yogurt</strong> topped with a few cut <strong>strawberries</strong>, and some <strong>lite chocolate syrup</strong> for <strong>3 points</strong>! <strong><em><u>Delicious!</u></em></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJ6IoI2_i5LhpfsIUqIn6VuyTqpi-sTajffInbuPnA3HJI2tT8Rn7faYzaOJwUwz5jK-3Bn3jjb-RKQDrSAK8CpQQrfhyWOTS3SR28_sb7yBkkpnRcXek0RFTgxe3VdMyaAWW9beOuMut/s1600-h/DSC07888%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07888" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXaGQHLoh5kgsXzG78y3oFGfJsnpi8o0UcJ6ZqjbbcwrlKYNRXfOprYaoWZ-rMkWpgLVqOgBjThGRyquTqiHu_nA0D4NU2VIJTBRIQyRH9FI1RML9f5-BeSIkcPm-32oyVLLnyaz6xMwG7/?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="DSC07888" width="404" /></a></p> <p><strong>WEDNESDAY’S STATS</strong></p> <p>POINTS = 28/23 <br />WEEKLY ALLOWANCE POINTS = 5 used/30 remaining <br />ACTIVITY POINTS EARNED = 2 today/8 week <br />WATER =  112 oz <br />EXERCISE = 32 min cross ramp</p> <p>Alright guys, obviously, it’s now Thursday morning and I need to jet off to work!
