The only thing about the ticker....

I chose a fish and don't fish die if they stop moving....poor, poor fishy...sorry. I will try to keep you moving but you only get updated once a week and that might not be enough for you.
Sorry, feeling goofy after a bad day at work, which I believe is because I didn't do my exercises this morning. I always feel so much better when I have a couple of cups of tea in the morning and get in all of my exercises. So, I think that was the cause. The upside is usually a stressful day would lead me to make bad nutrition choices and today that wasn't the case. I am going to have my popcorn now and then I will brush and be done for the night.

My new tactic

To stop after dinner snacking beyond my daily calories. I usually go for calorie free foods like celery, but my new tactic is brushing my teeth right after I am done with my calories for the day. Who wants to eat with a mouth that tastes like Listerine(tm). Not me that's for sure. So that is my newest strategy.

Working my butt off....hopefully literally

I got up, worked my in-laws garden for 2.5 hours, came home swam for 10 minutes, then started cleaning the house and going up and down the stairs with laundry. Hopefully this will help burn off the bbq ribs I had last night...
Tonight we are having chicken breast, corn on the cob, and coleslaw. I have to make tuna salad for us for work this week.
Talk atcha later. I have to keep moving or I will lose my momentum.

Today was the only day

That I didn't exercise this week and it is only because my abs hurt so bad from the past couple of days work outs. I worked today though so I went at least 7000 steps so I figure it is still okay. I am going to work out tomorrow, and might even swim so there ya go.

Weigh in day.....

Lost the 5lbs I gained last week, and an extra one to boot. (confusing since, I am never able to lose that much in a week.) Maybe I confused my body with loading it with bad for me stuff then going back to yummy food.
I am still hooked on the celery & Laughing Cow(tm) cheese, and blueberries were on sale this week so who is loving the Fiber One (tm), almond milk and blueberry combo? (me)
I made coleslaw again, this time I used a KFC(tm) recipe I found online, so it isn't the best for you but I substituted light mayonaise, and fat free milk, and low fat buttermilk and switched 1/2 of the sugar to Splenda(tm) so.... It isn't as bad as it could have been. I really do have to work out the calories though so that I can count it because the way I made it this time it is definitely not a "free food", much better for you yes but not free. (probably about 50 calories per 1/2 cup serving, I would guess but I will have to work it out for sure.
I have been much better about doing my exercises this week. I have done some everyday and my muscles are pretty sore today as yesterday I had the day off and did an extensive workout first thing.
Well, I should go get ready for work now.
You need to try this celery with Laughing Cow(tm) lite garlic and herb cheese though, seriously it is awesome. The cheese is only about $2.98 at Wallmart and sooooo worth it if you love and miss good cheese like I do.
Also I love my new weightloss ticker at the bottom of my blog...it let me know that I am 4lbs away from having lost 50lbs since Sept. I can't believe it!
