I'm not dead!

Goodness gracious! I have been working and I no longer no how to manage my time! I haven't even considered blogging, cause I've been too busy being overwhelmed!

Let's see. Did my weight training class Monday & Wednesday before work. Been working full days. Vegged Monday night. Last night did a fast 5.7k walk (well, fast for me). Tonight I did a good just over 11k walk with my walking group. I actually ran home which was just around 1.25k. It just poured rain on us. But that didn't stop us!

I was glad to start a new WW week today. Last week was disastrous. I was over by around...20pts. I am totally freaked out about being so close to my goal. Anyhow, moving on, moving on. Certainly being back at work for this little contract has been a challenge. I'm not used to having to "find" healthy alternatives. Hats off to the gals who are working often, or every day and making the plan work.

My puppy has been spending his days at a doggy spa daycare. He is so cute. He is completely spent by the time we pick him up because he doesn't stop the whole day. He gets so excited even when we drive up to the building. The ladies at the daycare just laugh at how hard he plays while he is there. He has been fast asleep on the couch since we brought him home at 5:30. He won't move now until we wake him up to pee before he goes in his kennel for the night.

I guess that's all I have for tonight. Hope you had a healthy day!

Weekend Update...Warning: snoozer ahead!

Mmm, not much to update. Friday we dropped daughter off at brother in laws. She is off having the time of her life, and I am officially in moping mode.


Who wants to hear what a food snob I am? When we walked in I was HORRIFIED to see that sister in law was feeding her family....KFC!!!!! I seriously felt like I had walked in on a scandal. They had a whole BUCKET of chicken, fries and two kinds of salads. We actually haven't eaten KFC since I was pregnant - some 16 years ago. I always say to husband, who eats that stuff? Well, I guess now I know! If we get fast food, it is almost always Subway, which we feel is the lesser of the evils. I know, I know, I need to get out more!


Anyhow, yesterday we went shopping to buy some new curtains for daughters two rooms. We were supposed to wash her walls yesterday, but didn't get to it. That is now on the agenda today. Yesterday we shopped, shopped and shopped some more. Then we napped (eye roll), made dinner and watched a DVD. 3/4 of the way through the movie, I tallied my day up and said to husband - I have to go for a walk (I needed the activity points) - so we actually paused the movie and I went on a 40 minute walk with the dog! He stayed home and played Wii. Groan!!


This morning I have already done a 7k walk with a friend over some really hilly terrain. Garmin says I burned 666 calories! Husband is watching some golf - he has also already golfed himself 9 holes. We are going to wash walls and see The Dark Knight this afternoon. I can't wait. I am going to have the children's package - the little drink and bit of popcorn. It is easy on the pocket book AND points! Plus, I'm such a loser - if I get a normal drink, I have to go to the bathroom DURING the movie!!

Not much else to report. Pork chops & corn on the cob for supper tonight. Yum. Last night, the reason I needed the activity points was because I went nuts and put butter on my corn. What a loser! Not tonight!!


Have a healthy day bloggers!
