Excitement!!

Thursday, March 03, 2011

I just discovered Spark's fitness tracker, and it is amazing. I was able to use this little map to create a walking route for myself. Then Spark calculated the calories burned. Just amazing to me. Also, I was able to find exercises with the fitness ball that I like and add them to the tracker. Spark is so well organized, it is like they think of everything!!!

  

Spark Points and Scotland

Wednesday, March 02, 2011

Just discovered the Spark points game, and as a teacher, of course, I always used points, so the format is familiar to me. We need all the motivation we can get!!! I read the article on comfort foods because of the points, and now I want to print it as a reminder. I bought Irish oatmeal and am making it for breakfast. I recall having the most wonderful porridge at a bed and breakfast in Scotland. McCanns steel cut oats is about as close to it as I can get. Speaking of Scotland, I love the Bertie books by Alexander McCall Smith.

  

A Week From Tuesday

Tuesday, March 01, 2011

Have not done a blog for a week and did not even realize I got "points" for doing it!! Well, I always liked writing in diaries since I was ten years old, so this is easy for me. What is not easy is drinking all that water. The reality is I actually feel just better, when I do it.

  

Tuesday Domino Effect!!!

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Very disappointed with myself. That lunch yesterday had a ridiculous amount of calories. And I had too much wine with dinner and then was craving sweets after dinner. So that is a double whammy. Then, I could not sleep because of the wine, so now today will be hard to work out!! What a set of dominoes!!! One bad thing leads to another.

My goal to lose 1 or half a pound my Monday will not get anywhere with a 2800 calorie day!!

The good news is I am doing this blog, I recorded every bite, and today is a new day. So, we can start all over again.

I should reread my blogs one day.

Yesterday is gone, today is present (rejoice in it), and tomorrow is another opportunity to continue on your determined path. Report Inappropriate Comment

Monday Morning

Monday, February 21, 2011

Weight: 149. Goal next Monday: 148.

Had terrible indigestion all day Sunday, on and off, looked up foods to avoid this morning, and they are the same as foods that make you fat. (except for oranges)

Not sure where to go from here.

Am pleased I figured out a sticky point of parent's taxes. Used my puzzle skills on real life issue. Kind of fun. Lots of websites with various hints led to the solution.
