Update!

Not going to type everything right now....just want to update my miles from the last couple of days.

New total = 66.5 miles

Surviving!

Making it through this difficult week....by the skin of my chinny chin chin! Ha! Did my exercising yesterday and looking forward to some more today...believe or not when you get really into and start working out hard you actually get a "buzz" off of it. I think that's a good thing don't you?

Did my cleaning job this morning and just had lunch. Getting ready to start some Thanksgiving cooking/baking. I'll be able to get it all done today so I don't have to bake tomorrow! =D Instead I can do cardio! =D =D

1 mile from the other day and 5 from last night.....

Total Miles Executed = 60!

Detox

Well the bday dinner is over...thank goodness! I ate more than I should have (but it could have been worse! =) and exercised less than I should have. Tomorrow is all about the detox. Lots of water, watching the calories and lots of cardio! I have two days to be back on track before Turkey Day. Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Death By Sugar!

Well, today's party is over....strategy working so far. Only small piece of cake left which will go to kids and T tomorrow! =) I did eat a little bit of cake and ice cream and had some dip with baked chips. The dip was really yummy, but I felt totally gross after eating the cake and ice cream. It's amazing how it effects you when you haven't been eating that kind of stuff for a while. My lunch was very good! I had the Chicken Spendinie (spelling?) (grilled chicken on skewers with roasted vegetables. It was fantastic and would definitely order again! And the calories fit into my budget! =D

Now, time for pie baking.....that's not the half of it.....T has requested chicken wings for his bday dinner! =O I'm planning on maybe having a couple but then eating something else...just not officially sure yet. Will I survive? YES!

No exercise for today. =(

Back in the Saddle!

I'm back and burning rubber! lol Did about 115 minutes worth of cardio and strength training. Feeling really good. I was surprise at how easy it seemed for me tonight. I did light walking on Thursday and nothing major on Friday...more of a day of rest. Apparently, my body really enjoyed the rest! It's becoming addicting...I guess that's a good thing since I have to do this most likely the rest of my life if I want to control my weight....lets not think about that right now! lol

The deadly cake has been made. The pie will be made Monday. I'm supposed to go to eat tomorrow at the Macaroni Grill =O I've already checked their menu online to give me some lean options. I will survive! =D

Total Miles Snuffed Out = 54!!

Sinful Sweets! =O

Today we went to craft day for our little homeschool group and had a great time! There was lots of yummy goodies to be had- both sweet and savory. I did partake of them, but tried not to overdo. One thing I notice, if I do eat those type of foods then I seem to have a harder time controlling myself throughout the rest of the day. I had to do some shopping this evening for some exercise gear and then to the store for some groceries. Monday is T's bday.....UGH! He has requested his fav cake and also a cherry pie- YIKES!! Not to mention later that same weekend is Thanksgiving......=O I'm officially frightened. I've been working really hard these last two weeks and I don't want to blow it all in one week. So they say the key is to plan ahead. Strategy....take cake with us to his family's house and share it! he, he.....there will be enough people there that most if not all the cake will be gone before we come home! So that leaves only the pie to worry about lurking around the house and staring at me...hmmmm....perhaps we could arrange an accident for it. lol No no, I'm just kidding, but perhaps I can challenge myself to leave it just for him.

Thanksgiving is another story....I'm trying to think of some ways to lighten the meal up, but still enjoy what I like the most. I really like a traditional style meal for Thanksgiving...I think more than anything is some of the memories that go with it...not to mention turkey and cornbread stuffing is to die for! I will also be trying to boost my cardio as much as possible to help burn off any unsavory calories that manage to make it into my mouth.

Didn't get to post yesterday...went cookbook selling so I got some walking in, but not as much as I would like. Plan to get back with the routine tomorrow morning.

Fully Loaded!

Was loaded with energy today! Did one mile on treadmill and two sessions of aerobics! Woot! Woot! Food intake awesome! Been really tracking my intake. Trying to keep the calories in check while consuming nutrient dense foods. Once you get in the groove it gets a whole lot easier!

Total Miles Conquered = 47.5!
