Super disappointed

Ladies, I may have to drop out of this challenge.

We're having some financial problems currently, and my husband feels one thing to help would be to eliminate our cable and internet connections to save money.

Don't know if it's going to happen for sure, but thought I'd give you a heads up. If I seem to disappear from the radar, then that's what happened.

I'm granting you both (Gwennaelle and Khourt) admin priveleges to the blog, so you can make changes if you need to.

Hope you choose to continue on with the challenge!

Thank you Mikki for the "healthy" link you posted.

I am going "healthy" too in my posts. Here is a little Breast cancer campaign awareness:

Dr. Oz says....

Wow, I got 5 points yesterday.

Just, wow!

I didn't keep a food journal yesterday, and I can't remember what I ate. I'm pretty sure I went over my limit though.

15 for today.

Way over my calorie limit.

I did exercise though.

I really need to plan out a menu for myself.

I think I'd do much better that way.

Saw this great list somewhere the other day. I added it to Pinterest and now I'm adding it here.

Click on the picture to go to Dr. Oz's page with this on it.

It's much easier to read there.

I really like Dr. Oz.

I think if he thinks the stuff on this list is ok, then it works for me too.

Saving my spot...

Just a quick fly-by post before I get more detailed tonight (when the kids are in bed) but yesterday was a LONG day for me and today wasnt much shorter. I ran 11.25 miles yesterday (longest run EVER) and today I feel surprisingly well. Not walking funny or anything ;)

The 2nd Team Losh event (hosted by the local homeschool 4H) happened tonight and we were able to attend. Losh had a blast. Ill get pictures and a better update on my progress later..

Ive been on track with eating healthy, but snacks are still killing me.

I am not done with my soda bottle yet :)

My Aïkido class got canceled because only the girls showed up (3) and on Thursday we are supposed to put the tatami back in the closet. Being only four it was nearly impossible so the teacher canceled the class.

So I worked out at home a little to have my exercising for the day.

Tomorrow I am buying a new thingy for my heart rate since the other one is not working. I should be able to use it on Saturday :)

Gosh I just remembered that I must take my pics back from the café where I was exhibiting them! They are going to hate me if I just leave them there.

Anyway my points for the day are 21-1=20

Back on the right track

I ran 45 minutes today because I could. I know I won't be doing this again as a regular thing.

I got 23 points but I am taking one out because I bought a bottle of diet coke which I intend to enjoy! Dang it :P

I had to go for it, it is not like it jumped in my fridge by accident. So I got 22 points for the day :)

Craptastic Week!

I'm blaming it on my period. That's all there is to it.
Oh my gosh, I was so sore yesterday! My cardio/sculpt workout on Monday tore me up. All I could bring myself to do yesterday was some very low key stretching. Like 10 minutes worth.
I have these fabulous varicose veins, and since I'm on my period, they're SCREAMING at me. They didn't help matters yesterday. Thank goodness, I thought to wear some compression hose to work last night. I think I would have been dying otherwise.

To top it off, I have thrown all caution to the wind when it comes to making good food choices. I had like, two cups of chocoalte nut crunch popcorn for breakfast yesterday. Actually it was more of a morning snack-I skipped breakfast. I made a special trip to the store JUST for a Pepsi. Thank gosh the food selections at work sucked last night. I made myself a turkey sandwich. I think that's the only thing that saved me from going over on my calories. But let me tell ya', I 've got my calories goal set pretty high, so that's not really saying much. I'm only aiming for a half a pound per week weight loss goal.

So, I managed 18 points yesterday, thanks to my high calorie goal. I think I should lower it, because I'm not even losing that half pound a week right now.

Haven't got my workout in yet today, and breakfast has consisted of a Pepsi and half a donut. Looks like I'm off to another spectacularly unsuccessful day.
