It’s Tuesday! The day where confess it all…

I have actually been doing pretty good this week. WHAT?! I know. I think the start of the new team challenge has given me a burst of motivation! Go Weight Loss Warriors!!

*I did have some candy over the weekend.

*I haven’t done my 5-mile long run yet… I had an something bad happen to a bone in my foot Thursday night when I was tucking the kiddos in and went in yesterday for an x-ray. Should find out today if it is actually a fracture or not. Nonetheless, it is feeling good, so I think I am good to go!

*I am feeling a little left out since I am not shredding with the rest of you!

Gosh, I’m BORING this week! *yawn*

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.

Well, well… Is it really this time again, ALREADY??

Overall, it hasn’t been a bad week…

I have been tracking my foods using SparkPeople. I have overindulged with cookies (the in-laws sent them home with the kids Sunday – eek!), but I have been counting them and making adjustments.

I have been tracking my exercise with dailymile. Oops. Wait. I haven’t exercised. Shit. BUT, I did go to the gym this morning.

I bought veggies and Pirate’s Booty (for snacking) this weekend. Aaargh!

I took the kids out for dinner for Kane’s birthday last night and even though I really wanted french fries, I ordered off the Weight Watchers menu and got steamed veggies. They were good. Shhhh… don’t tell anyone.

Until next time, friends…

Hello, Monday.

*Saturday, the 3 younger kids and I attended a Pie Social at their elementary school. This event included a cake/cupcake walk for the children. We left carrying two full-sized cakes and 6 turkey cupcakes, complete with Nutter Butters.

*I wish I could say that I did not shove any of that shit in my mouth, but alas, I cannot. I don’t even LIKE CAKE THAT MUCH. What the hell.

*I am that annoying girl at the gym who keeps sniffing while she is working out. I totally admit it. I have had a “sort-of” cold for ages now and my nose insists on running the entire time I am working out. There are only so many times you can hit pause to go blow your nose. I was cringing every time I had to sniff. Please tell me you have a miracle solution for this!

*I have been pretty good with working out, whether going to the gym or doing EA Sports Active More Workouts! Woo-hoo!

Until next week… (and I am sure it will be a doozy!)

Is it Monday again already?? Here goes:

1. I am still in a funk. I wake up every morning with a fresh happy outlook and most days, by oh, say 11am, I am already looking forward to the day being over. I need to get out of town for a bit and relax. So bad.

2. I went to the gym last week and did 3 miles on the Precor AMT. It felt pretty good. Until the next day, now my back is bothering me again. Shit.

3. We are cooking up some fabulous ideas amongst us SJ writers. I can’t WAIT to tell you about them. Hah.

4. I have not gave a damn about my eating this last week. See #1.

5. I have the opportunity to win $1000 for educational materials for my children in this photo contest. I will love you forever if you go vote. For realz. Pass it on. Make your neighbors vote too. And yes, I am going to keep mentioning this until the contest is over. Get used to it. ;p

6. We have THE SICKNESS making itself known in our household. Today, it’s one of the twins staying home. He is basking in the glory of being an only child.

That is all! Have a good week, shrinkers!

Hmmm… Where to start?

1. Lose for Good party with lots of tasty beverages, as well as CHEX MIX.

2. I love chex mix. So much.

3. I also made jalapeno popper dip. Served it with Baked tortilla chips though, so it’s okay, right?

4. I am so, SO grumpy and bitchy lately. For realz yo’.

5. I feel like I am getting sick, only I have felt this way for over a week and haven’t ever gotten sick yet.

6. No exercise.

1. I am excited by what I saw when I stepped on the scale this morning. Usually Mondays are the “bad” day. Hopefully I can keep it up through Wednesday and have some good weigh-in results!

2. I am down in the dumps lately. I feel like I am just “getting by” and not really living or doing much of anything important. I hate that feeling.

That is all for today. I know, I am kind of a Debbie Downer. ;p

Hmmm… Where to start?

I have not been exercising (still), I could be going on walks or something non-strenuous like that, but I haven’t. Truthfully, this back issue has really kicked my ass and I am a little depressed on how quickly I fell out of shape! At physical therapy last week, I did some simple lower core work and was sweating bullets and had sore abs the next day. Crap!

The kids are back to school on Thursday and I am hoping to get back into my working out groove! Hello YMCA and EA Sports Active!!

I had another bunkhouse weekend which included drinking lots of beer and eating salty, crunchy food goodness.

I journaled my first two days back on WW, then fell off after that. I am going to make a sincere effort to track foods and points every day, including those of which I am out of town!!

Have a good week, everyone!

This is the day of the week when we confess our sins and triumphs! Here goes:

1.  I did not weigh-in last Wednesday, but did when I got home from L.A. I was down THREE pounds.

2. I practiced moderation while I was away. Why is it easier for me to eat better while I am away from home?

3. I also had a bit of an upset stomach, which could have something to do with the weight loss. The scale will tell, no?

4. I like green olives in my Miller Lite and people think this is odd. Come on, ‘fess up! Who else does this? Erin and Megan, I KNOW you do!

5. My back/glute/leg injury is starting to feel better!! Not normal, but way, way better! I have been going to the chiropractor and physical therapy 2-3 times a week!

That is all for this week! Let’s hear your confessions!
