I blame the ice...

So this week was a complete WASH! With the weather and school being cancelled there was not much activity going on. Sunday was my weigh in day and I painfully wrote down that number. Monday was to be the beginning...I can say I got exercise in. The snow/ice made for a full day of sledding/crashing/hiking for me and my friends. We were exhausted - it is safe to say the ice kicked out butts! However the rest of the week was not as productive. Today was the first day I was able to get to the gym due to the roads being icy. I think everyone and their brother was making up missed days tonight because it was packed. I did a lot of cardio and I think the extra bursts of energy came from being cooped up all week. I hope to be able to get back tomorrow as well. I feel better, physically, when I go and workout. I'm slowly getting back into things with just doing cardio. Might do a little bit of weights tomorrow. I'm still looking for a "trainer" who can point me in the right direction.

Eating hasn't been too terribly bad - until today. Today was just a slippage with a stop at the Golden Arches. Believe me, I have never felt so guilty eating fries in my life. But like I said - no story telling here! We've been cooking a lot at home so I've been trying to watch the portion control. I went today and got some breakfast bars. My friend Mel introduced me to the Luna bars and they are yummy! My dad does Weight Watchers so I"m trying to follow the points system. Each bar is 2-3 points which isn't bad for breakfast. I usually eat a mini-bagel with low fat cream cheese but on those days that I'm running late or just tired of bagels the bars are a good change up. Lots of protein and that yummy fiber!

My friend B*Mac is doing this weight loss pledge and I do believe I'm going to join her. The Pound for Pound Challenge has been put together by the Biggest Loser tv show. For every pound you pledge to lose, they donate $0.11 to help buy groceries for those who need it. Pretty cool idea!!

Meeting my friend Whitney at the gym tomorrow. I'm hoping to get some good tips from her!
