Where have I been?

I have really been lazy about posting, and lazy in working out. I think this weather is really getting to me. Thankfully, the last 2 weeks, my WW weigh-ins have been for losses - only 0.4 each week, but a loss is a loss. And yesterday, the weather was decent enough that I could get out and walk at lunchtime. Yay me!

Not sure there will be much workout today. It's raining/snowing, so I probably won't get out at lunch and we are doing a secret shopper at the movie theater tonight, so I don't think I'll be home in time to workout before bed. We shall see.

Slacking...

Friday night was our office holiday party. I probably ate more than I should but not as much as I could have. So overall, not a bad evening. The party was at the ICA and the food was just ok, nothing great. The excitement of the evening came when the fire alarms went off midway through dinner and we all had to evacuate into the cold Boston evening. And the ICA is right on the waterfront, so it was even colder. So glad we had the car keys and could run to the car.

Saturday and Sunday, I worked job #2. I was so exhausted last night that I could barely move, but I did do 30 minutes of step on the Wii Fit.

This morning, up at 5:06 am and it is a balmy -2 degrees outside. Needless to say, I won't be walking at lunch today. I did do my 10 minutes of Wii Fit running and I plan on running again tonight, after the WW meeting.

Speaking of WW. I'm not expecting anything good tonight. We shall see. With all the hours I have been working at the store, (5 out of 7 days last week) and the holiday party on Friday night, there wasn't much time for working out. And this week doesn't look to be much better. Work tomorrow, Friday and Saturday and I am on-call for Wednesday and Thursday. They really need to hire more people that can work an evening shift because I can't be working every day of the week at both jobs. It was less stressful during the holidays than it is now. The money is good (well, not good as in I'm making a huge salary, but good to make some extra), but burnout is not.

No Workout Friday

I have this clock that is supposed to be controlled by some place in Colorado. I'm guessing it is via satellite or something. Every now and then it goes a little screwy. Today was one of those days. I remember waking up around 4:15 and going to the bathroom. I climbed back into bed to go back to sleep and then my husband was bouncing around again, so I was yelling at him for waking me up. I roll over and look at my clock and it says 3:43. HUH? So I look at his clock and it says 5:43. I was supposed to be up at 5:07 so I could work out and head off to work.

Needless to say, no workout today because of the clock. And of course, we had snow overnight (and it is still snowing now at almost 9am) so I had to clean off the car and make that rather unpleasant drive to the train station. It was quite slick, but I made it and now I'm at the office. The office where we have delayed opening until 10:00 am.

And tonight is our holiday party at the ICA, so there won't be any working out at home tonight either. Oh well. I did run for 20 minutes last night, so at least I got that in.

Quick post!

I know it has been a few days, but life gets busy and blogging just isn't the first thing on my mind.

Had a WW meeting last night and when I weighed in, I was only down 0.2. Yes, it's still down - hooray, but I wanted it to be much more. I did have sushi for lunch and it filled me up quite a bit and I was still feeling full when I went to the meeting, so it is very possible that that is what caused the number to be less than I wanted it to be. Hopefully next week's number will make up for it.

I really need to get more veggies in my diet, but there are only so many things that I like during the winter and I prefer to eat my veggies fresh and raw, which is not always easy with winter veggies. I need some new ideas.

Whole Foods help!

I just entered a contest to win a Healthy Pantry Makeover from Whole Foods. This would be amazing for me if I won.

I would love to shop at Whole Foods all the time, but I just can't fit it in the budget right now. When we were in AZ last summer, we visiting the Scottsdale store several times, even having lunch there one day. Yes, I said we had lunch at Whole Foods. It was fantastic!

I know that I would really benefit from a Whole Foods Healthy Pantry Makeover. Wish me luck!!

Slacking

I seem to be slacking off this week. I think the blizzard in the middle of the week threw me off. I need to stop letting these little blips in the radar stop me from keeping focused.

I was home all day on Wednesday because of the snow and while I did get out and shovel, so that was some activity, I got lazy and didn't really workout like I should. I had plenty of time during the day to use the Wii Fit, but I just didn't do it.

So it's time to re-focus...again.

Cover Girl

A little off-topic, but I wanted to share. And beauty is part of getting fit and fabulous, so maybe it's not off-topic.

I've been a Covergirl for as long as I have been wearing makeup. How about you? Isn't Covergirl the first makeup all teens wear? I still wear Covergirl today because nothing gives me the coverage and the colors like the classic Covergirl.
