Sunday - Goals Day! (Week #8) - ON MONDAY

Ok, so I forgot about this yesterday. But like I said, I was enjoying my time with John. I don't get a whole lot of time with him these days where he's relaxed enough to enjoy himself. So, we enjoyed it! Watching movies (Takers - which was good, Megamind - which was cute, and Unstoppable - which was AWESOME) and playing cards. It was good.

So, how did I do from last week? Well, I didn't lose too much - 2 pounds though! I'll take it. That puts me at 193 pounds. Not too shabby. At least it's a loss this week!

And, well, my goals were ok. I wanted to eat better, work out more, and write down what I eat. I did fairly well with this stuff. I can't say I did amazingly well, but I did ok. Obviously if I hadn't had those couple of really slack days I would have lost more, but it's ok. I need to not complain about 2 pounds. That's a healthy amount of weight to lose.

So, what are my goals for this week?

#1 - Keep writing all of my foods down

#2 - Maintain healthy eating

#3 - Workout, workout, workout

#4 - Drink lots of water

Should be easy goals, since the first 3 were fairly attainable last week.

Welcome to the first week of March everyone! It's currently -31 plus the windchill - can you tell how NOT excited I am to leave the house? I might not. I was going to go and apply for some jobs today, but I just don't want to leave the house. I might just stay home, workout with the Biggest Loser and walk on my treadmill. It'll be a test of will - being stuck in my house with food all day long is not preferable, but I have mostly healthy foods here anyway so it's not too bad. I made John take all the cookies I made this weekend to work so I won't eat them. I can't stop at one or two! Just can't!

Have a good Monday!

Sunday - Goals Day! (Week #8) - ON HIATUS

I forgot all about blogging today, again! John and I just played cards...fun! Yes, that's what we do when it's too cold to go outside! I won gin, he won crazy 8s, and then he killed me at Chinese Crib. Lame-o. Normally I kill at cards, but not tonight. Oh well.

Off to bed to watch a movie. I think I just shocked John because I've never watched Dumb and Dumber, and I really don't plan on it. Lame-o once again.

Night all!

Hmm...

I really have nothing to talk about...this is weird.

I'm going to bed. Maybe something interesting will come to me tomorrow.

Friday Night

So, tonight we're going out to a comedy show. It feels so nice to be going out! I haven't done my hair or put on makeup for a while. Feels nice!

I think I'm going to start the job search Monday. I've got a lead on a job, so I'm going to go and drop off my resume. I'm getting really bored. And not to mention, I hate that I don't have money coming in too. I mean, I think we're fine in that regard, but what if we go more into debt because I'm not working? I don't like that. So, I need to get something. I was thinking I need to volunteer, but now I'm thinking I need to get a job. Something to bring some money in. I'm just not comfortable not making money. It's just bad news.

So, that's it for me today. Excited to go out!

Sick in Bed

Yup, I'm in bed. Been in bed most of the day. Damn stomach. Going to miss Oil Wives tonight. I just don't think I want to be out of bed for too long. Thank goodness that we have cable in our room now. I'd be so bored otherwise. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow!

Almost Forgot!

You know, I've been so busy today (well, my kind of busy) that I almost forgot to blog!

Today has been "wash the blankets" day. I've washed 2 handmade quilts, 2 comforters, and 3 fleece blankets, plus 2 loads of sheets and towels. Only one more comforter to go, and then my couch covers. I think that'll have to be left for tomorrow though. Busy washer/dryer today!

I've also recently gotten hooked on Jersey Shore. Don't ask me why, but I'm loving it. They are so dumb! Did you know that The Situation and Pauly D thought that Canada was actually "Canadia"? So stupid! But so addicting! Damn MTV.

Now I've just finished watching America's Next Top Model and now I'm watching the new show Shedding for the Wedding. Jam packed TV day today!

Today was my "rest" day for working out, so I did a quick 15 minute workout, then went for a walk at the track for about an hour. Not too shabby.

Have a good night!

Greek Yogurt & Other New Things

Have you had Greek yogurt? I've heard so much about it, and I know that I had had it before, when I lived in Kamloops, and I do not remember it too fondly. BUT! I talked with my sister today, and she told me to try it, so I thought, ok, why not? Especially when she described it as "delightful" - I knew I had to try it! So, I found a multipack, and bought it. Little did I know that it wasn't the "good" Greek yogurt with lots of protein, but, I figure it's good enough to get the taste (and I'll feed it to John until it's gone and I can buy the good stuff) and I LOVED IT!! There is a coffee flavoured one, and let me tell you, it is delightful. So delightful. John didn't like it, but that's ok - I think it's delightful!

And, my sister also told me about her love of quinoa. I didn't find any at my regular grocery store, so I have to go to the health foods store. Has anyone else tried it? I better find some to try. Ashley told me to get the white or red, not black because of the texture.

Now to watch the hockey game - Canucks and Habs. I have a hard time with this one. It's my favourite team from the East and my favourite team from the West. Either one winning is good for me!
