Exercise: I bought a new DVD last night at Walmart called "Pilates/Yoga for Anybody". I'm going to do that here in a few minutes for about 20-30 minutes. I'm giving myself 3 points for 1) exercising at all 2) trying something new and 3) 20-30 minutes activity.
Water: 64 fl oz
Challenge: Putting up with my mother all day, fishing things out of my packed up boxes, moving my computer up to my room, just general getting things done....

first of all, let me just say that I had forgotten how much fun it is to have cable and how much I love pop culture. I'm watching American Princess now on We. So my challenge was to do exercise before watching tv.
Food: fabulous dessert: 1/2 cup Cool Whip Free (60 cal) + 1 tbsp peanut butter (95 cal) + 1 tbsp chocolate syrup (50 cal). 205 cals total. it would be nice to have the reduced sugar chocolate syrup, but well I didnt. You could use like strawberries or something instead of the peanut butter for less calories, but the cool whip free is delicious instead of ice cream.
Exercise: 35 mind blowing minutes of pilates. that was preceded by 4 hours of walking around the mall helping my mom shop.
Water: steadily drinking. already had 64 oz, probably will have more.
definitely want to lose weight after seeing all the skinny girls at the mall today and all the stores that I can't even shop in because I'm too fat. There are some beautiful clothes out there, and I want to be able to wear them. sigh. just one of the many reasons I'm doing this for myself.

So I'm watching Ellen on Oxygen (seriously, this cable watching is O.O.C.*, I'm becoming a pop culture junkie) and Felicity Huffman is on there. Out of the women on Desperate Housewives, she is my favorite because A she has the most realistic character and B she's not obnoxious. But as she's standing next to "regular" women from the audience, she looks like a toothpick and very waifish and wan. The "regular" women look colorful and robust, but very large. I'm totally weirded out.
Anyway,
Food: even though I had lunch out today, I chose pasta with shrimp and broccoli and tomatoes so it didn't totally kill my calories, but I did leave out the daytime snacks because of the sauce. Other stuff was good. Need to eat more fruit and vegetables though, I had several starchy things today.
Exercise: took the puppy up the street a little way because she was really hyper and my mom started yelling at me about it. really what I wanted to do was come up here to my room and do pilates and relax. I may still do pilates, in which case I'll add the points in later.
Water: Drank so much I had to pee every hour at work. Luckily my coworkers are really laid back and don't mind the frequent breaks, especially since I don't dawdle. Or maybe they thought I had diarrhea.
Challenge: to tolerate the idiot customers who call in pleasantly and to sell lots of add-ons. I sold a ton of "gourmet griddles", and one guy actually bought every single item on our current promotion. I wish I had all that money to buy all sorts of crap. I also mastered a new order processing application today at work. Good times.
My challenge for tomorrow is two fold: to go to the gym and to get my resume done. someone beat me up if I don't do it.
*O.O.C. = out of control
***Update 1:41am***
I just did 50 minutes of pilates/yoga. so I win the rest of the exercise points for the day. yesssss!

I didn't do either of my challenges, so that blows. I ate chicken tenders for dinner because I really really wanted them. Which would have been fine if not for the rolls and butter I ate and the beer I drank with them. I did go for a 20 minute walk around my neighborhood, and went up the big hill instead of going down it and then looping around the other way, so I guess that's good. But overall not my greatest day.
Today will be better, except that I haven't exercised yet. I'll probably do pilates when I get home. The thing about that though is I'm not sure how good it is for weight loss. Like I know it's awesome for like flexibility and strength, but it doesn't really burn that many calories. Any thoughts? I do need to start going to the gym and getting on the elliptical. I just do.
