Ambition

Today I was feeling ambitious so I made homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast and zuppa toscana for lunch. Both were under 130 calories and very yummy. I need to stay motivated in order to keep myself from getting fast food or grabbing junk food. I sat down with Cassie and after our heart to heart about her unwillingness to try new foods and how its hindering my weight loss she seems more willing to try some of these new recipes. I hope it keeps up. I don't need her to like everything that I make, just to try it. Plus its not like I'm going to make things that I know she would never eat. The things I want to make are ones she should eat. So here's hoping...

I weighed in today at 202.6. I think the bodybugg is helping. At least enough to keep me active. If it shows that I'm not going to reach my target burn for the day then I get up and so a DVD or go to the Y for a walk/bike ride. Plus its neat to see how many times I wake up during the night. Now if only I could fix that issue. I had been doing well since I got this but then I let Cassie try it out one night and now I'm back to not sleeping again. I'm sure its just because I'm excited and nervous to leave for MN on Tuesday.

Oh about that. I suppose I forgot to mention that. Cassie and I are going to MN this Tuesday and will head home Friday. We are going to get our stuff out of storage. I rented a car to get us there and a Budget Truck to get us and our belongings home. I hate that this is a very short trip, however with 2 jobs its hard to get more time off. Plus I don't want to be to greedy with my days off since I will need 10 days in May for our FL trip.

Bodybugg

I recieved my Bodymedia Bodybugg Link and Core. Every excited to try them out. I decided to give the Core to my sister here in MI. She's been so very wonderful to both cassie and I that I wanted to thank her in a small way and since as part of the giveaway I need feed back on it I thought she was a good fit. I weighed in today at 205.

Its a neat little gadget. It records your sleep patterns, calories burned, steps taken ect. Incase you all haven't seen one. This is the Link (the one i'm keeping). Mine came with both the grey band as seen in the pics and a Black one with blue intsead of the silver.

Weight Watchers for the 8th time

I pulled out my weight watchers stuff thats been riding around in my trunk for months and months now and have decided to try it again. My starting weight is 209. I really HATE that I allowed myself to regain 11 pounds. I was down to 198 mid December. So very close to what I considered my "safe zone", guess I really don't have one. Oh well back to the drawing board. I won 2 bodymedia bodybuggs that should be arriving soon. I will post more on those later.

I got back part of my tax returns, found an awesome deal on plane tickets to Orlando FL. I purchased them, so Cassie and I will be going to Disney in May. We haven't taken an actual vacation ever. We are super excited!. I also splurged since Kohls was having 30% off, I have a friend that let me use her employee discount and had a $10 gift card I bought a keurig. It was a really good deal. :) i'm very happy with my awesome deals lately, i'm normally not this lucky so I took advantage of it. Now if only I could win the lottery ;)
