I hear so many people talk about running a 5K. I would like to run a 5K but I really do not want to let certain people know I am aiming toward this. For instance, I have a coworker that I have mentioned before. I think she would want to give me advice and I really don't want it. Maybe it is jealousy since she has been successful. Maybe it is the attitude that she knows what I should do when really we have very different lives. I have a child, she does not. I have to take care of my husband, hers is pretty self sufficient. I have more paperwork...yada yada yada.
I am doing the Wii Active 30 Day challenge right now and walking a few days a week. Both leave me breathless. I have missed my workout for about 3 days now since I have been sick so I need to get back on the wagon tomorrow.
I am thinking a year from now might be a good goal. I want to surprise everyone and just do it. BTW....Let's hear it for more procrastination.

I Find Myself Sitting
Celebration first. I lost 2.6 lbs this week. I am down a total of 7.something. I am so thrilled. I concentrated all my efforts this week on staying within my points. I was either under 1 or 2 or over only 1 or 2. I used some of my weekly allowance to go out to dinner on Friday night. We ordered Chicken Saltimboca (breaded chicken breast with Prosciutto ham and cheese on top) served on top of spaghetti with sauteed spinach. I took the spinach and a little spaghetti and 1 of the 3 fillets that come with this one meal. We gave the baby a fillet and ordered her a pasta. I ate a little of her pasta. Hubby had a fillet and all the spaghetti. We ordered side salads with house Italian. MMMMM....I also ate a roll. This was after all my night out and I am not depriving myself.
Onto other news. I had a UTI that I was on antibiotic for. Finished that on about Tuesday. While out to dinner on Friday night I was freezing. Sweating my tush off on Saturday morning at WW. Never did take my temperature...guess I should have. I had a sore throat from Friday night on. I went to Urgent Care on Saturday after WW. Negative strep and negative mono but based on how my throat looks they are presuming strep. The antibiotic earlier in the week could cause the negative rapid strep test. I don't feel overly horrid so that is good. This is my third bout of strep in a year. Yucky.
Now why do I find myself sitting...other than being sick? Well I just do. I have a boat load to do. I have a good little baby that takes 2 hour naps and goes to bed at 7:30. I sit and watch TV or play on the computer. I could be doing school work. I should be. I had so much time today and got nothing done. I procrastinate without realizing it now. It just happens and then the day is gone and I realize I did nothing. I did pick up the basement and clean off the counters (they had become a catch all) and I made Fiber one muffins in mini muffin tins. MMMMM one point snack.
SO now that we know I have a problem with procrastination. I will be bidding everyone good night as I go to pick up baby toys and write sub plans before bed.

Good in Theory
Using the blog to record what I ate was great in theory but very poorly executed. I can't always use it during the day and then I was spending extra time in the evening to copy from WW and put it in and then format it so it would be readable. Not an efficient use of time. So no more Daily meals blog. I will leave it up since I might come back to it.
How will I remain accountable to the internet world you ask...Well, Facebook. Granted the people that read this are not on my facebook but lots of people that I know in real life and even see daily are. I guess it was about a week ago I put 33 out of 32 at the end of my status. I had a lot of friends comment and send me messages since they knew what it was. I had a few ask about it. It just became a little habit. I would update my status before heading to bed and then add my points for the day at the end. Kinda weird but works for me.
Now to celebrate. I am down 4.6 I lost 3.6 week one and then today was down one more. My cousin has lost a total of 7. Yipppppeeeeee for her. I am excited for her. I tried a new recipe today and made an old standby that I love.
Typically I make 1/4 of this recipe and hubby and I eat it all. Now this recipe is for 2 casserole that serve 8-10 each. You do the math. I was eating about 2 servings essentially and a serving is 8 points. This time I made 1/2 of the recipe and seperated it into 4 small disposable casserole dishes as opposed to 2. We had one tonite and the rest went into the freezer. We broke open a bag of salad and had a tasty salad with dinner. It was enough but I am a little hungry now. I am also 10 points shy for the day. As I get more accustomed to making food with correct portions and not eating emotionally I think that will be a problem.
