Blah Week

This week at work has been pretty stressful. A lot of unknowns are out there and I don't work well with unknowns :(

I weighed in today and lost .2 pounds, I feel a little dissapointed because I worked the WW plan and worked out, but only .2 loss??? But, then I spoke to a co-worker and they said, "hey it's a loss and not a gain right?". Very true! I still lost weight this week and should not feel down, but proud. I was so use to seeing bigger numbers in losses, but I should be exuberant that I did not gain .2 right??? So yes, people, I lost .2 this week and I'm proud! I'll just keep working at losing more next week.

Went to the gym last night with my mom. I swear I would work out more and more if I could just watch television while I do it. Last night I caught the very end of Law and Order and sweated while walking on the treadmill. I wanted to do some weights, but didn't feel that motivated. I will tonight though.


Did a little better this week and even jogged at 4.4 mph for a few.

When I got home I attempted to make french fries, with butternut squash. I saw Hungry Girl make it on her new cooking show on the Cooking Channel. The food I would eat everyday without hesitation is french fries, YUM! They are the devil to me I swear. They definitely didn't taste like my usual french fries from McDonald's but they are a good substitute. I should have left them in a little longer so that they could crisp a bit more, but I doused em' with pepper and dunked em' in my ketchup and mustard blend and they were good. They were a lot sweeter than normal fries, but if I'm in a rut and need a fix :) then I can go for them. PLUS, they are 0 WW plus points for a serving. I ate mine last night with my dad's homemade meatloaf. I'm not usually a fan of meatloaf, but this was pretty yummy.


I will be headed to Hawaii next month and then New Orleans in April, my two vacations for the year. I uber excited about both vacations, but I need to get ready for em'. I would like to lose another 10 pounds before I go and try to get my arms and legs beach ready. I'm still debating on whether or not I will fake and bake before I go. Lemme tell you all, that I am pasty white. I tan pretty easily, and am originally from Hawaii (even got me some Hawaiian/Filipino blood) but I look whiter than rice! A nice base tan is what I need :) I'll keep you updated on what I decide.

A Week of Goodness!

Whoo and Hoo, I'm down another 1.8 this week for a total loss of 7.6!!!

This week I had a craving for shrimp so I researched a few recipes and came across Cilantro Lime Shrimp. If anyone knows our family, we eat rice with everything! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I'm trying to stay away from rice, hardest thing EVER! I wanted something to eat with the shrimp other than a salad, I'm not the biggest fan of shrimp with salad. More research and I found this recipe for Quinoa. Lots and lots of protein in quinoa and it was fairly easy to make. I bought mine from PCC in the bulk bins, love going there and shopping in the bulk, note to self....when writing the number of the item also write what it is...I have something that I can't remember what it is! I'll have to make another trip down there :)


This week I also got my butt to the gym. I did a yoga class on Saturday, not a fan...must say I love my yoga instructor on Tuesday evenings, but the woman on Saturday just annoyed me. She was rude, very short with people and chewed gum! Ehhhh.

Saturday - 60 min. yoga
Monday - 90 min. hula
Tuesday - 60 min. yoga
Wednesday - 36 walking
Friday - 10 min. standing abs (thank you comcast free workout videos)

My heel still really hurts when I walk so I took it very easy this week as you can see below :)

I LOVE GETTING FREE STUFF! The gym was giving out free samples of Craisins, which are my all time favorite snack :)
My sis-in-law treated me after for pho, ooooh, pho how I love thee!
