Tupperware and giveaway roundup!

Tupperware party last night was fun.  Lots of pretty things:

Tupperware is expensive, but it’s nice that there is a lifetime guarantee on it.  I decided on the cereal keeper.  When I am not snacking on cereal it actually lasts a long time and tends to get stale in the box, so this will be a good thing to have.

I did meet my arch nemesis at the party, though:

One thing I just cannot control myself around.  Reese’s are like my kryptonite.  Quite a few ended up in my tummy……

Giveaways around the ‘net:

Zevia at Healthy Living

Febreeze Sport at Fatfighter TV

Zensha workout wear at Team Giles

On a challenge note: Steve over at Log My Loss is doing a end of the year challenge that starts today!  If you want to end the year with a bang, view this post.   This part of the year starts the time when we all forget to take care of ourselves.  There is a ton of food, lots of activities, sometimes too much stress.  With all of that, sometimes we let ourselves slide to the background.  Join the 100 day challenge and make it the best 100 days of the year!

Challenge Day 4 and the big move

Did really well today on my challenge. I even managed to not eat a protein bar today! I am trying to break my addiction to them. Could be worse, it could be chocolate chip cookies.

Sometimes really loving food sucks. My taste buds are way bigger than my stomach (or my caloric needs). I am not always of the mind that a taste or 2 is enough. Sometimes a taste or 2 just wets my appetite and gets the cravings really going. That is why certain foods can’t come into the house, like any type of Reese’s product. I can eat an entire bag of mini reeses cups without blinking an eye (and I think that is a pound bag).

John bought some dark chocolate peanut butter M&Ms the other day, and I told him that they must be super secretly hidden and not his usual hiding places (which I know), or I knew that I would be into them. I cannot eat just a couple of those and be happy. I will easily and happily eat a cup of peanut Ms. That is the food addict in me. So, he obliged and they are very hidden….. and I’m not looking… yet.

Had a good workout today. Did some swimming, then weights. I am just finishing up the NROLW Stage 1. I’ll post the totals this weekend sometime of my progress. I did barbell squat 110 pounds today! I have done 105, and thought I would try 110 on an extra set. It is surprising how much heavier 5 pounds is. I could only do 7 reps, I started to wobble on the last one and stopped, but think I did pretty good.

So – the big move will be happening probably tomorrow to move my blog to it’s own domain! I’ll make the announcement and then flip it over. The new blog is still a work in progress, but at least the basic frame is there. I need a good logo person to make me a butterly curling a dumbbell, though!
