Let’s get straight to it: I’m up 0.2 lbs.
SO annoying.
I have had the best week.
I exercised.
A lot.
I ate decent.
I even resisted ice cream last night.
Whatever.
Keep calm.
Carry on.
Shannon wrote this earlier this week, I so relate.
Timex – check.
Gruve – check.
Heading to the gym.

I had a less-than-stellar week.
Husband was home for the first time in a month.
NFL Playoffs.
Yes, these are excuses.
I weighed in at 218.8 lbs, which is down 1.2 from last week.
Kickoff for Team in Training is Sunday.
I am ready.
My mind is ready.
My body is ready.

I have a feeling this is not going to be very pretty, folks.
I was doing alright… and then Saturday came. My husband (who hasn’t been home in a month!) got to come home from work for a few days and he does the cooking (woot!) when he is home.
Saturday night: homemade pizza. Sure, he makes me my own special portion of pizza loaded with onions, portabella mushrooms, and green peppers, but there is still the crust and the cheese!
Sunday: Playoff day. Not good. Homemade subs. Popcorn (with butter). Candy. You get the picture.
And then, to top it all off, I had a Drumstick last night. Not chicken, the awful(ly yummy) ice cream variety.
On the plus side… he and I played racquetball at the gym yesterday. Wonderful exercise. I came away with a contact-injury again.
I signed up for FitBloggin… now I just need to figure out a way to get to Baltimore!!
How was your week? Do Confess.

This week’s Monday Project is to think of five reasons why we kick ass. I can think of about 10 million and one things about myself that I want to change, but of course, like most people, struggle with the positive side of things.
So, TA-DA! Five reasons why I rock…
#1 – I’m fun. I am a complete and total dork and I know it. I like to laugh!
#2 – I completed a 1/2 marathon and now I’m doing another one. Did I mention all the money I am raising for charity? That rocks.
#3 – I run a household with 4 (for the most part) happy children while my husband is gone for weeks and weeks at a time.
#4 – I have an adventurous, restless spirit. Some people may not think this is a good thing, but I do. I love to experience new things and want to teach my children to dream big and never settle.
#5 – It’s a toss-up between this (thanks for the idea, Christy!):

Down 0.6 lbs this week.
SMFD.
I thought it would be so much better.
Went to gym this morning.
You can check it out on DailyMile.
My router died.
So I must use this awful desktop.
That is all.

I love smoothies. Not the gross, made-from-powder kind… only the varieties where you add in fresh fruit. I thought I would share my latest creation with you all. For you mamas in the group, this recipe comes with thumbs up from all four kids in my household!
One Serving:
1/2 cup Dannon Light n’ Fit Vanilla Yogurt
5 whole strawberries (I use Schwan’s frozen)
1 banana
2 oz. POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranante Juice
Blend and VOILA! Delicious! So easy to make! You can add a few ice cubes in to make it colder, I personally don’t like them.
Calories: 250 Fat: 1 gram
Full disclosure: I received samples of POM Wonderful juice for free. I was not asked to write this post, I am doing so out of my own free will!

Okay, I did it. You may have seen my tweets where I was afraid to step on the scale this morning. When I got on the scale earlier this week, it was UGLY. Downright hideous. I chug-chug-CHUGGED water last night. So much, in fact, that I woke up THREE times to groggily make my way to take a piss.
I weighed-in at 220.6 lbs this morning. That is a gain of 0.4 from last Wednesday. I’ll take it, because it could have been so much worse.
My head was barely in the game this week. I think I may be getting overwhelmed at HOW FAR I need to go. I have the tools, I have the support, I just need to utilize these and make the changes. Like Thea said last week, I need to break it down into smaller goals and maybe I won’t get so completely overwhelmed by the fact that I want to lose 55 pounds!
It’s a new day. A GOOD DAY. I have my workout clothes on, the car started, a load of laundry washing (I just had to throw that in there) and I am shutting down the computer, lacing up my shoes, and getting my ass to the gym. STAT.

Really? Another week has passed??
I have a horrible case of the grumpies today. Although, the sun did finally shine today. I laid on my chaise lounge in front of the window and took a nap in the sunlight. That was fabulous.
My appetite is FEROCIOUS. Help.Me.
I am feeling so restless. Restless as in, I really need to get the hell out of here and have an adventure. Sigh.
My workouts consisted of two EAS Active More Workouts sessions.
On the positive note, I have been eating a lot more veggies and organic than I used to. Still eating crap, too, though.
Considering weigh-in is tomorrow, I think I will be downing the water by gallons starting NOW.
