I am so glad that this week is coming to a close! It's been a rough week at the office, I'm surprised that I've been able to stay on track, but then again I really haven't had a ton of time to think about eating anything else other than what I've brought for that day! Anyway....<br /><br />DH said we were invited to some friends' house to watch the national championship  and my first thought is "oh no!". But I asked if we could just make supper before we go and that way I won't want all those snacky things that they always have at their house. And it worked out great. I brought some pringles to have as my healthy snack, although I did have a few M&Ms, but they fit into my points for the day and I was able to stop when I had eaten a serving size!<br /><br />Tomorrow's Friday!! Can't wait for the weekend!!

And good news...DH & I have decided to join the "real world" and get internet, hopefully in the next couple weeks. So that will make posting so much easier, rather than trying to squeeze it in before or after work! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week...it's hump day! <br /><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"><link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"><style> </style> <br /><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"><link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5Ctemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"><style>  </style>

It makes things so much easier now that we don't have to buy FF foods and full fat foods! ;) He has also given up pop (coffee was about 6 months ago and he's still doing great!). And I'm glad he wants to be more healthy!<br /><br />I had ww tonight and I think I am seeing the results from my gorging last night....gained 2 lbs. But I am not going to let it get to me. I am going to stay focused, track everything I eat, get in good gym time, and hope for a big loss next week.<br /><br />Tonight at ww our leader talked about KISS - Keep It Simple & Sustainable, all about tracking and choosing. That is my goal this week is to be really good about tracking (no matter if it's healthy or not) and making smart choices. She gave out these little sticks at the end that she had written "Stick With It" on...cute! Also that ww banana nut bread bar that I ate today was a free one she gave out at the meeting. It was just ok...it left a bad aftertaste....but I was very grateful for the free sample of new product!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifKaDWITpFbWiKZMQ8o6UcoaaVexChk3asu0hIKOlqO-Oe1KwOKS0IR_Ovj13p1E7S6IhWZMGBPLjCAzlHKMdvv1njl3aWFyGRo-JonHSOxysx42sUZ-e1ra894jtC5quvcorVCDYJqJOM/s1600-h/DSC01637.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288554592475810834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifKaDWITpFbWiKZMQ8o6UcoaaVexChk3asu0hIKOlqO-Oe1KwOKS0IR_Ovj13p1E7S6IhWZMGBPLjCAzlHKMdvv1njl3aWFyGRo-JonHSOxysx42sUZ-e1ra894jtC5quvcorVCDYJqJOM/s320/DSC01637.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a>

Classes start next week and so we were SUPER busy! But I guess I can't be a a "stay at home wife"....not yet anyway, so now is just as good as any time to get back into my normal routine!<br /><br />I was doing so good today, but when I got home I had a horrible case of the "muchies"!!! And I didn't control it (which makes me really sad). I ate yogurt, fiber one bar, cool whip, chili with sour cream, cheese, & crackers, peanut butter w/chocolate chips, chips & salsa....way too many points! What was I doing....I need to get out of this mode of snacking like I did over the holidays.<br /><br />I know I've already mentioned it, but I earned my 10% key chain from ww over break and lost 2lbs over the holidays...rather than gaining! I was pretty proud of that (although secretly I was hoping for a bigger loss!). My scale at home says 177.5! It is so exciting to see it go down, down, down!! I did have a gain last week at ww, but I figuring that I would since I ate really bad 5/7 days before my wi, it was only .8 lbs, so I think I can live with that!<br /><br />2 of my 3 sisters have gone home now (the 3rd one lives in the area). I was definitely sad to see them go, Wendi (my younger one), was my gym buddy over break and it was fun to work out together! I got all my Christmas stuff put away last week before I had to go back to work so now life is back to normal...I think anyway!<br /><br />I hope everyone has a SUPER week and stays on track!<br /><br />Btw, I am hoping to get my goals setfor January and get those posted! Need to figure them out soI know what I'm shooting for this month!<br /><br />For those of you BL fans....are you super glad that Michelle won or what?!?!? I am so excited for next season to start tomorrow too...it always pumps me up!

So the week of New Year's was definitely better (eating wise) than the week of Christmas, but I did splurge on New Year's day and didn't eat very good and went out with my sister on Friday night and had a few too many drinks! But I think overall it was an ok week and I am hoping for a loss at ww on Tuesday.<br /><br />Now as far as exercising I was a gym rat this week!! Earned 44 APs!! It is nice when you don't have to rush off to work or some other function and you can have a nice long workout! I am definitely feeling it though, pretty sore! But that's a good thing!<br /><br />Since I'm back to work now I should be back to my normal schedule of posting everyday! I hope everyone had a great New Years and a wonderful 2009!<br /><br />Here is a quote that I found that I really like:<br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.<br /><br />Neil Gaiman</span>

I was super pumped! I couldn't stay for the meeting though because we went out tonight with some friends for Christmas to Joe's Crab Shack. It was my first night and not eating well this week.

I was really hoping that since I was more active & eating healthier that I wouldn't get sick this winter. I really didn't do much at all today, tried to relax and take it easy. Church was cancelled because it was blizzard like conditions outside with the blowing wind & drifting snow. I hope I can kick this cold before Christmas comes, I don't want to be sick when I'm off work. Sorry for the short post!

I think I might do it through the holiday season just to keep tabs on where I am at and then in 2009 try to weigh less. So I hopped on the scale this morning and it said <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">180</span></span>!!! That means I lost another1.5lbs and I'm down 22 lbs total!! I am so pumped!! My goal is to be 179 at the wi on Tuesday before Christmas!<br /><br />We had supper tonight at a friend's house. It was such a fun night, but I totally went over my points. I think this is the first time since I started almost 7 weeks ago that I ate <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">WAY</span> too much! But I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm enjoyed myself for one night and that's it...this is <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">NOT</span> going to make me fall off the wagon! I have to say though it really surprised me when I got home and was adding up all the points that I ate...<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">WOW</span>! No wonder I was overweight because this is how I always used to eat!

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!

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!!
