So I got ready and then saw we had a two hour delay. That made me happy 'cause then I knew I could get in a nice long work out! So I got to the gym by 7am and by 9am I saw that we were closed! Let me tell you...I was ecstatic!!! I was the only one in the cardio room tho, so it didn't matter that I was jumping up & down with a giant smile across my face!! If I could do cart wheels I would have done them all the way to the weight room!! THREE DAY WEEKEND!! And then two day work week next week and I'm off for almost 2 weeks for Christmas break!!<br /><br />Ok I'm done celebrating...sorry! :)<br /><br />I don't think the fried food affected me last night. The scale stayed the same. (yes I weighed...I'm know I'm naughty!)<br /><br />When I left the gym my sister (the one from Georgia) called and said they wanted to go to Ames (a town about 40 min away w/more shopping options than the town I live in) for lunch at <a href="http://www.hickorypark-bbq.com/">Hickory Park</a> (one of my fav. restaurants there!) and then shop. So since I had the day off we decided to go! It was a fun time with my sisiters, all four of us ended up going! I feel that I made smart choices at Hickory Park, I know my sides are a little odd, pickles & corn, but they were the healthiest choices on the menu! And I didn't have dessert (everyone else did and I didn't have any desire to have even one bite!) We went to Sam's Club, Target, Best Buy, and the mall! And then the whole way home we sang Christmas carols...so fun!<br /><br />I am totally getting into the Chirstmas spirit and trying to enjoy other things about this wonderful season than having my main focus be all that fattening food that is around...so far, so good, but I have a feeling this coming week will be the hardest. But I <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">CAN</span> do it!

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the day off tomorrow! They are expecting us to get almost a foot of snow!!<br /><br />We had a "Christmas Social" with the Enrollment Services area tonight. And it was just drinks and appetizers...so everything was FRIED! But I feel that I did pretty good. I think ate about 4-5 cheese balls and probably less than 1/2 c of onion peels. What I wasn't thinking about was my drink, I had Diet Pepsi with grenadine, not even thinking that there are calories in grenadine! But I looked them up when I got home and I think between the 3 drinks it was probably about 200 calories, estimating high! I was kinda bummed with myself though that I did that completely unconsciously!<br /><br />It's almost the weekend!! Happy Thursday nite!!

It's so crazy to think back that far! We don't have any plans to celebrate just the two of us, but we went out for Mexican with all my sisters tonight! A local bar has 50 cent tacos & $1.50 margaritas on Wednesday nights! I really would have had way more than just one margarita, but I decided switch to beer because I knew what the points were! It was a fun night. Do you think 4 points was enough for a regular sized glass of a strawberry margarita? <br /><br />Looks like my area is in for another snow storm. They are predicting 6-9 inches of snow for tomorrow through Friday morning. Keeping my fingers crossed for another day off!<br /></div></div>

My youngest sister who is home from college in Florida is staying with me and I made a deal with her that if she would go to the gym with me at least 3-4 times/week I would pay her membership. But keep in mind I am usually at the gym by 6am and she is <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">NOT</span> a morning person at all! But she agreed and went with me this morning and my other sister (the one who lives in the area) was there too!! So 3 out of the 4 of us sisters were together...working out!! It was so fun!! She is also helping me out part time in my office so it works out good, we work out, make our breakfast, and go to work together!<br /><br />I had the most AMAZING orange this morning!! Mmmmm!!<br /><br />It has been snowing since about mid-workout this am. I keep thinking that we're going to close, but I need to keep in mind that finals are going on right now and it will probably take a big storm to close, but lo & behold, we closed an hour early!!<br /><br />I had wi tonight. I didn't make my 10%, but did lose 1.2 lbs. So I am going to be happy with that....even tho I really wanted to make my 10%. I know that lifting is going to affect the scale. I guess I am just going to work hard and hope for my 10% next week!<br /><br />My younger sister & I made our little pizzas and watched the BL tonight. We were rooting for Michelle the whole time, I'm glad she won! She looks AMAZING!!! Also I can't believe that America didn't listen to Ed and voted him in instead of Heba...wow! But yeah, it was fun to see everyone's transformations, very motivating!!

It's so hard to not see the scale go down like it has been the first 5 weeks. But I need to keep in mind that using the scale to determine progress can be very misleading, it's just hard when that is what I have relied to measure my success for so long. But I think now that I've added weights to my routine I am not going to weigh everyday so I don't get discouraged seeing that same stinkin' number!<br /><br />Today is our "Christmas Potluck" at work. And guess what the only time I've been in the break room was this morning to make my oatmeal before work. I have absolutely NO desire to even go check out what kind of full fat goodies are back there. Now last year at this time is a whole different story, I think I was probably on plate 3 or 4 by mid afternoon, not this year!! No!!<br /><br />Two of my sisters who live out of state got back today. Today it's one of their birthdays, the big 30!! So we had a family get together for her. My Mom made homemade potato soup, ham & cheese sandwiches, and our family's all time favorite, Oreo ice cream cake. Guess what.....I didn't eat any of that!! I brought my own can of Progresso soup and was just fine! It feels good to make smart choices!<br /></div></div>

So I figured I would just hit the salad bar and be good, which I started out that way, but had a few other things. And overall I think I did ok. The only thing I wasn't sure on was the Cashew Chicken, I counted it for 3 points for 1/4 c, but it might not have even been that much.<br /><br />I absolutely love the PB2. Thanks to everyone who has posted about it on their blogs! PB is one of my favorite things and the amount of points it is for only a tablespoon or two was never worth it for me, but this is so much better points wise! And the chocolate PB2 is great too!<br /><br />I also did the 30 day shred DVD, Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser. It was a good workout for only 20 minutes, she really keeps you moving. My gym has the weirdest hours on Sundays so I didn't make it there, but I felt better doing at least a little something. I really want to get my 10% on Tuesday. I'm just nervous since I started lifting this week that I might not make that big of a loss, the scale hasn't went down since Wednesday.  :(<br /></div></div>

I think I could just stay in the gym all day! It always feels so good to get in a nice long workout and not feel rushed. I finished week 4 of my <a href="http://bellaeats.wordpress.com/about/10-mile-training-program/">training </a><a href="http://bellaeats.wordpress.com/about/10-mile-training-program/">program</a>. Today was a 1.75 run/walk. I did a 1 min warm up at 4.0 mph and then ran the rest of the time, 17.5 minutes straight at 5.8 mph! I couldn't believe it! I know that isn't the fastest pace, but I feel like I'm getting more endurance.<br /><br />Ok so here's a topic for discussion - amount of clothing worn in the locker room...so I would say that I'm not too "conservative", but also not going to walk around the locker room naked. So Friday morning when I was getting ready in the locker room there was this girl who was also getting ready, but zero clothes on and she was drying her hair in front of this floor to ceiling mirror. It was just kinda weird. And maybe it's just not my "thing", but I would think she would be a bit more comfortable if she put on a towel or at least got dressed. So what are you thoughts...do you girls do this??<br /><br />I finally went through the "health food section" at the grocery store today.  I think the most exciting things that I found were the PB2 and 1 point tortillas that are HUGE! I also got some more ww ice cream bars....so good! Since I've been having an "ice cream treat" now DH wanted some ice cream so I bought him his all time favorite "Bunny Tracks" and I'm proud to say I'm not even tempted to eat it! Oh and I also picked up a couple magazines, WW & Oxygen. I'm excited to read Oxygen because it looks like it's really all about fitness and lifting weights!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZufVz_E5szXwmhjvqD2Uvgpel4GiQFxWYd6dhwG-FBBpNCjHEYQW6YBK28WLvadw_ZrNrL78ch5OF4b4yC-pPYmQwPPiEqfNcL9PkNYnxWAeaF4VLJHxOgvX5x5chLU8zKtv2b2hpf1J/s1600-h/DSC01428.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280020623832386866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZufVz_E5szXwmhjvqD2Uvgpel4GiQFxWYd6dhwG-FBBpNCjHEYQW6YBK28WLvadw_ZrNrL78ch5OF4b4yC-pPYmQwPPiEqfNcL9PkNYnxWAeaF4VLJHxOgvX5x5chLU8zKtv2b2hpf1J/s320/DSC01428.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a>

It was really good and I am pretty proud of myself. I only ate half of everything on my plate and I'm pretty sure I stayed within my points range. Do you girls think I estimated correctly? Or am I way off? It's so hard to know.<br /><br />I am so ready for the weekend. Not too many plans, need to get a few last minute Christmas gifts and I want to get in some good long work outs so I can hit my 10% on Tuesday. I am excited though because 2 of my sisters are coming home, one is from Georgia and the other one is going to school in Florida, so it will nice to have them around these next couple of weeks for Christmas. And the one from Florida wants to get a membership to the gym with me while she's home so that will be fun to work out with her!<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span><br /></span>

Nothing too exciting. Worked out this morning, went to work, got off at 2pm, and went home to work on some "household" projects. One thing I know for sure, I'm ready for the weekend!!<br /><br />Since I've been working out in the mornings I have been trying to leave a few minutes before work to make my oatmeal, but days like today don't really allow time for that. So it just seemed like it messed up the rest of my day "food wise". I know it's not good, I really need to be better about getting all my points in or at least shoot for 20! So that's my goal for tomorrow, eat 24 points!

That means I've lost 20.5 lbs!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped it's seems beyond belief!!<br /><br />So I went the gym like I usually do in the mornings, and planned to have a weight session with my brother-in-law, but he wasn't there. :( So I just decided that was my plan to lift today so that is what I did! I didn't do a lot of free weights, just the weight machines but hey it's better than nothing, right?!?! I did about 8 different machines that worked your arms or legs 15 reps each, 3 times. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow! And I also got in a nice run at the end of my weight session. I do have one question though, when you are calculating your AP's do you consider weight lifting a "moderate" activity? I really didn't know how to categorize it! Thanks in advance for your input!<br /><br />It was back to work today, but that's ok, because the piles on my desk seem to be getting bigger lately, not smaller!

I looked out the window and thought for sure we should be, there was a GIANT snow drift in the back yard. But I got dressed anyway and trudged through the snow to the garage and slid, I mean, drove myself to the gym! It was me and two of the personal trainers there and that was it! So it was kinda nice. Right when I was starting my workout, which I figured I would have to cut short to leave extra time for the bad roads to get to work on time, I saw on the news that we were now <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">closed</span>!!! I was so happy!! And that also meant I could get in a longer work out, so that is exactly what I did. I hope it will help with the wi tonight.<br /><br />I weighed this morning (just like always!) and for some reason the scale went up 2.5lbs. I think it probably has something to do with all those random snacks I ate last night instead of a healthy, well balanced supper. Note to self: DON'T DO THAT AGAIN! But I am not going to let it bother me, my goal this week was to get another 5lb star at ww and I feel pretty confident that I can pull that off!<br /><br />I enjoyed my day off! I cleaned up the house a bit, wrapped Christmas presents, organized the storage room, watched "Step Brothers", and had some nice time with DH. I love "snow days"!<br /><br />Since my scale went up this morning I was nervous about what the ww scale would say. But I went and lost 5lbs! So for ww I've lost 17.2 lbs total and got my next 5lb star!! Very excited about that. I would really like to get to 20 lbs next week and that will be my 10% as well!<br /><br />Watched BL tonight. For some reason I wasn't into it all. Vicky drives me nuts!! I really hope Michelle wins. I didn't vote, but I think if I did I would vote for Heba. How about you guys? Can't wait for the finale next week. Has anyone heard if there is going to be another BL in the spring? I sure hope so.
