Updates & Hot Date

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

1. My thighs will be less than 20” at the largest part. (Today they are 21.5")
**Update: Haven’t measured again, it’s only been 11 days!

2. I will find 5 healthy foods I will eat that I’m not eating now.
**Update: I found 1 new one! Tilapia – I baked it in the oven with salt & pepper, and it was fine. It’s got 23 grams of protein in 4 oz! Woo hoo!! Oh, and as a bonus, no one complained about the smell & my little guy has got a very sensitive nose.

3. I will do 100 consecutive toe pushups.
**Update: I haven’t worked on these too much. My streak so far is 25.

4. This one isn’t really up to me but, I would like my new healthy lifestyle to rub off on my husband & teenage daughter. I’ve seen some good things happen already – like hubby completing c25k & daughter doing dvds every now & then. I hope to see more of this in 2011.
**Update: Hubby still talks a lot about losing weight. The more he talks the more it’s in his mind, so this is good. He’s got a goal to lose 16 lbs by April. On the other hand, seems like my little guy has been eating more junk.

5. Complete a 30 day self challenge. One of my Spark friends just finished one & I enjoyed following it. I will come up with one for myself for January.
**Update: Joined the 28 Day Bootcamp. That will give me a 30 day (I exercised the 2 days prior to starting BootCamp) exercising streak for January. Not sure yet what I’ll do after that.

In other news, I’m not digging the nutrition I know I should be getting, meaning I’m indulging in things like pizza (that thick crust is soooo good), ice cream (I had a couple of bowls over the weekend), & popcorn (we have a Whirly Pop, so I have control over no butter, no salt, but I do use the oil to pop it). I’m sure there are other goodies I’ve not mentioned, but you get the idea. I feel like a toddler stomping their foot cause they are mad & they want something. I want my junk & I want it now!
My husband is planning a hot date for us on 1/22. I would like to “hotten” up as much as I can. Having a specific event to prepare for seems to help me stay focused. I realize to get the best results I need to cut this junk out of my diet. What will win out? My desire to hottify myself (What? A person who is already healthy can have goals, too!) or my desire for the drumsticks in the freezer here at work? We shall see.

    A hot date is certainly motivation! A new outfit would provide some incentive!

    I like 'hottify', may I use it? emoticon

Wow, what's with the Jan 22 date? You and your friend have dates with hubbies, and I'll be celebrating my twins' 30th birthday. DH and I will celebrate our 32nd anniversary two days before that, but probably not have the hot date until the weekend. Think I'll take Annie's advice and find something slutty to wear. OR is that just too sick and wrong for a woman of my advanced years? emoticon

    Sounds like you are doing really well. I agree with bogusannie - you already look great - so dress slutty, your hubby will love it! It's great to have a goal though, something to work toward. I always find that motivating.

    That is exactly where I'm failing, in the nutrition department!! I'm cooking more but I'm eating more, too. Ugh, I just wish I didn't like food so much. Have fun on your hot date!!

    Amy - it sounds like you are finding balance....please don't forget that. You have managed to continue on the exercising -continue to get a perky backside, and have some of the things that you love as well.

If you give up the loves altogether - there will come a day where the binge monster will find you - and sometimes he stays a long time - and you have worked too hard to let him come back.

I also read on another blog this AM, that we should talk about "releasing" the weight and inches instead of loosing them. It is a play on words - however - when we loose something it is usually with the intention of finding it again - and we don't want to find this loss.
