Helped Christian practice tennis today--not for very long, but I ran after balls, threw balls, etc. I also did W1D2 of the C25K program. It's not too shabby! I can't wait until I can run more ( Read more... )

I think my next weight_comp Thoughts for Thursday is going to be on goal setting and rewards. More of a discussion article than the others.

This is primarily because my goals in losing weight have changed--instead of wanting to be thin, now I want to be fit. I don't think I've ever in my life been honestly fit. I'd like to be there and be really ( Read more... )

We ended up going out last night and I drank WAY too much. I also think I underestimated the points for yesterday, but that's okay cause I don't plan on using any more Flex Points this week! :)

Today has also been a bit of a soda day for me. The touch of hangover is uncool, and it make me want to drink moooore soooodaaaaaaa!

Cinder is driving the husband crazy, so I think we might be taking a long walk and trying out my new exercise clothes and arm weights!

He's been super active, so we'll see what a walk does for him. Maybe he'll get a pack and weights too!
