Come ON!

I'm sorry if I offend anyone but Tara on BL makes me throw up in my mouth a little. PLEASE SHUT UP!!
K, I feel better now.
Bye.

Monday and Tuesday Bite the Dust!

Yay, almost to hump day! Time is flying by these days. This weekend was busy. Dinner guests on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Drinks were kept to a minimum. Food was OK. Veggie pizza and salad on Friday. Burgers/pasta salad/snowpeas/angelfood cake on Saturday. Veggie edge pizza and a few breadsticks on Sunday! I'm sure I could LIVE on pizza and subs...no question! Ran on Friday and was supposed to run Sunday but it was yucky out!
Yesterday and today were running days instead. Tomorrow will be a day off and then back at it on Thursday!
Food today:
B- ww toast and PB and J (3)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt/cereal (2)
S- handful of chocolate covered raisins (2?), V8 plus (0)
D- veggie pizza sub (10)
S- SOMETHING during biggest loser (2-3)

Running rocks :)

Down 1.6lbs this week! So exciting! And Jen is down AGAIN!!! Go team :)
5.5K run after work today.
Food:
B- oats and choc. chips (2)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt/cereal (2)
S- motivate bar (4)
D- J's mom's bday cake and ice cream (6???) then tomato soup (3)
S- Combos (6??), fruitbites (1)

Food couldn't be more random but I went for a run right after work and we were supposed to go for cake after dinner. I didn't have time to make dinner so we went for cake right away! Hey, whatever works, right??
Points aren't as bad as I thought but maybe I underestimated the cake?? Who knows!

Good point!

Jen had a good point about my points yesterday! They weren't high enough. So after reading that, I did have some more fruitbites (1) and some 100 cal popcorn (1) and a cheese string (1). Very random snacks, I realize! I only had a 1/2 larabar that I grabbed in the AM leftover from the weekend when I tried it. The rest were downstairs and at 7am, I just didn't think about it! But I've already restocked the cupboard so I can have a motivate bar before/after tomorrow's run!
Today has still been a blah day. Again, not sure what is up. A touch of a cold perhaps? No excercise today. I should have taken Cooper for a walk/run but couldn't find the energy.
Anyway, food today:
B- steel cut oats with choc. chips (2)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt/cereal combo (2)
D- veggie burger (2) with cheese (1) on sprouted grain bread (2) with a big spinach salad (0) and 1/3c. tabuli salad (2)
S- fruitbites (1), 1c. organic cereal (2) with 1/2c. milk (1)

Short and Sweet!

For some reason, I'm exhausted today. Can't quite put a finger on why that is. So I will give a quick food summary and tell you that I did go running even though I felt exhausted. We ran the trail by W's after work today. 33 minutes. It was very windy on the way back so I think we lost some time fighting the wind!
Food:
B- steel cut oats with choc. chips (2)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt/cereal/2 strawberries (2)
S- 1/2 cinnamon roll larabar (2)
D- 2 eggs (4), 2 pieces toast (2), veggies and dip (1), V8 plus (0)
S- 12 fruitbites (1)

Off to veg for tonight!

What's a girl to do?

What is the right decision when your mom has you over for breakfast and makes you homemade waffles??? Tara's answer - EAT 2!! It was one of those situations where breakfast was breakfast AND lunch so maybe that minimized the damage but I have no idea how many points they are! Anyway, weekend is over and while there may have been some indulgences, it shouldn't break the bank, so to speak.
Activity = 30 min run on Friday + 5K run on Sunday + dog walking tonight (walk/run intervals!!)
Food for Monday:
B- steel cut oats (2) topped with 9 choc. chips (0!!)
L- Spinach salad with cuke, green pepper, balsamic vinegar (0) topped with 1/3c. tabuli ie. couscous type salad thing (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt/fruit/cereal (3)

S- cukes and vinegar (0), celery and light cheez whiz (2)

Too much Biggest Loser?

I will admit, I was hoping for more this week. I thought maybe I could replicate some of the 5-6lb losses!!! (yeah right!). I lost 1 lb.
Let's recap the week...
Regularly running again? Check.
Food on track? Check.
Downward direction on scale? Check.
It's a start (or maybe the 20th start??).

Food today?
B- cheesecake oats (2)
L- guess? (6)
S- post 30 min. run)- chocolate motivate bar (4) - I was skeptical of this one cause I don't usually like TOO much chocolate but today, it certainly hit the spot! Kinda like a brownie in there. YUM!
D- minestrone soup (3), grilled cheese (3)
S- baked chips? fruit bites? DEFINITELY cherry limeade!!!!
