Still Wii-ing

Yesterday was an OK eating day.

B'fast: coffee with the usual flavor, sugar/splenda, Fiber 1 cereal

Snack: Activia lite yogurt, fruit & nut bar

Lunch: leftover homemade vodka bow-tie pasta with added zucchini, garden scallions, mushrooms, garlic salt for a little kick and 2 small pcs. garlic butter bread (pattern with white simple carbs?)

Snack: Banana, walnuts

Dinner: Salmon sprinkled w/ brown sugar, yellow potatoes and home canned sweet corn (what's up with 2 more white carbs? green vegetable anyone?)

Can't live w/o something sweet: 1/8 C. chocolate chips

Workout-wise, I was pretty worthless yesterday. Was sore from Wii (I can't believe a Wii is kicking my butt).

Today I spent almost an hour playing Wii yoga, strength training (focusing on core and upper)and balance. Again, I can't believe I'm sweating on a Wii. It's fun burning calories on this thing, and I don't even realize I'm doing it. Silver dress, I'm coming.

Having a food plan and maintaining my food journal is beneficial. Today's plan is a cheat dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I've been craving a big 'ol Kobe Burger, and that'll give me leftover half for lunch tomorrow. Before I even take the first bite, I need to cut it in half and put in away in the "to-go-box." That way I'm not tempted to stuff myself. :) A full report will come later. :)

Happy Fitness, my Friends!

Where's my ice cream?

Like I need ice cream! Yesterday's food choices were pretty good:

Coffee - with flavor & splenda/sugar mix (I can't do straight splenda)

Fiber 1 cereal

Activia lite yogurt, 1 banana

Lunch: 3/4 can dry tuna, cherry tomatoes, 1 pc. sourdough bread (love that white bread)

Snack: protein shake with fruit, orange juice and a scoop of protein

Dinner: steak, sweet potato with butter buds sprinkles, splenda and pecans, lettuce & tomato salad

No dessert - that's a HUGE accomplishment. I read some of my Jane Austin book and had "food for thought" instead.

I am sore from yesterday's workout! I had a meeting this morning, so I'm postponing a workout. I did walk the dog a short way this morning, and at my pitiful fitness level, that counts as exercise.

I'm feeling emotionally drained today and will decide about a Wii yoga or balance session later. I'm still thinking of the silver dress and how I don't want to be a stuffed silver sausage when I wear it to Vagas. :)

VEGAS BABY!!!!

How about this - a workout?! Yes, believe it or not, I did work out today after a LOOOOOONG vacation. Lordy, I'm feeling the lard.

Here's the deal - me and my best girl are headed to Vegas over Labor Day. That gives me 5 weeks. It's been a long time since I've had any reason to actually "look great and feel good about myself." Life has pretty much sucked - I have been living with an alcoholic and it's taken a toll on me. Thankfully, I am now living with an alcoholic in recovery and I have found Alanon. It's a support group for family and friends of alcoholics. I've found a lot of peace there.

And much thanks to my BG for asking me if I was up for a vacation! It's just what I needed to get my lazy butt in gear.

So today, I did some Wii workouts for about an hour. It's that time of year when it's too hot to be outside and I cancelled my gym membership and bought a Wii instead. It made sense, since I can't seem to find my way to the gym anymore. What a sad commentary on my life. But Vegas is coming in 5 weeks!

I will be focusing on getting some daily exercise and decreasing my sugar intake - I just love desserts! I have a problem crashing in the evening, so I'll post how the day was later, when it comes to food.

Wish me luck, my Vegas body is 5 weeks away...
