Monday 2/28/11

 I had an awesome weekend! I probably ate way too much, but I enjoyed myself. I know that I need to really start working on this, otherwise all of my hard work during the week was for nothing. It was nice to get a break from walking! That being said, we took the family into D.C. on Saturday, so I still managed to get some exercise in there! All was not lost!

Today I did the Classic Walk from the 5 Day Slim Down. It was harder to do today. Apparently a 2 day break isn't as good for me as I thought! Yes, it was harder and I was pretty winded, but I made it through!

For breakfast this morning, I had:

A 2 egg omelet with 2 small slices of reduced fat cheese.

2 pieces of whole wheat toast and a pad of butter.

4 Strawberries.

Today I started the St. Patty's Day Challenge. My stats for the day are...

-White Team -

1) Total Minutes - 28

2) Water in Ounces - 64

3) Mini Food Challenge -

Tues (3 to 5 servings of fruits and veggies)

Thurs ( Snack on wholesome or power foods today)

Workout Challenge -

4) Daily Snacks - Apple sprinkled with cinnamon. Cottage Cheese Doubles with peaches.

I have MORE exciting news to share today.  :)  Over the weekend, I decided to join Weight Watchers. I talked it over with Kevin and I really wanted to give this a shot. I think that going to a weekly meeting and having the support of others who are going down the same road as I am, will be encouraging. I also hope to learn something and change the way that I eat. I can tell you right now that I've been completely AGAINST counting carbs, etc. It just seems to time consuming. However, I know that if I'm really going to lose weight, I'm going to need to manage my intake. This is going to be the HARDEST thing for me to do. I don't want to limit myself to how much or what I eat. That being said, what I've seen so far, doesn't seem so bad... And comparing the sacrifices that I will have to make to living a long, healthy life, living always wins my vote!  I think I'm on the right track.
