Happy Sunday!

Got back from my short trip. I did pretty well eating, other than a big scoop of ice cream on Saturday. I asked for a child’s size, which was one scoop. Well – that scoop was really big!
Tasted pretty good, though! Yum! I haven’t figured out Saturday’s calories yet. Being away from your own computer is hard when you are addicted to it!

Did Cardio overdrive tonight for exercise. I can’t believe how I am looking forward to my strength training workout tomorrow. I will be upping weights on a few of the exercises. Not sure how the weekend’s food will affect weight loss this week, but that’s okay.

Happy Friday!

Yay – the weekend! We actually started it a bit early. Forwarded the business phone to the cell and went out to a coffee shop where I had a small skim latte.
We then hit the mall, and got a bunch of Zone bars on sale at Target. $1 a bar! That’s at least 20 cents cheaper than the grocery store.

After that it was dinner time, so we decided to stop at a pizza place. I have been craving a calzone for a while, and wanted to split one with DH, since they are big. So, we each got a side salad and split the calzone. Back in the old days, I would have eaten the whole calzone in one sitting. It was a nice meal, not too filling and seemed very decadent. I wouldn’t want to do this very often, as it was more rich than I am used to.

Did my second full body bowflex workout. Wednesday was the test day to see how tired I got during the reps, and I adjusted the weights upward this time to reach fatigue. I do 2 sets of 10 reps each, with a very slow count. My muscles were shaky for a while after doing that.

Then I got the Firm Boot Camp dvd from Netflix today. Did that as well, it didn’t seem as tough as the Hard Core Fusion, but I was doing more of the beginner moves. I will keep this one for a while.

Shovel, shovel

I am tired of shoveling! I do have to say that it is good exercise, though. A nice change up from my usual aerobics. However, it sucks having to do 2 driveways.

I ate well on plan this weekend. We did not get out for our normal bagel breakfast on Sunday, due to the snow. However, I did have a gingerbread donut from Dunkin Donuts. It may be snowing, but DD is within walking distance of our house! I think the shoveling offset that donut pretty well LOL!

Nutrisystem introduced their new advanced line of foods, but none of the new entrees are online yet. Bummer.

Staying on plan over the weekend.

Well – no car this weekend, so I can’t go anywhere LOL! I could walk to Dunkin Donuts. Maybe for a latte light later or something. If I get stir crazy.

Making a big effort to stay on plan for the weekend. And the week coming up. With Thanksgiving thursday, gotta help myself anyway I can.
I have enough NS dinners and desserts to get me through until my box arrives on Monday. Doing good with my own meals.
Oat bran with blueberries for breakfast. I so love oat bran. It is very filling!
Lunch will be a turkey burger and steamed broccoli.

Last night I tried the Thai noodles in peanut sauce entree from NS. Nope – don’t like it! The tofu had a really funny texture. Of course, I don’t normally eat tofu – so maybe the texture was as it should be LOL! The sauce also had a ton of garlic in it. You know how you taste a sauce, and can tell how bad your breath is going to be?? Good thing DH is out of town LOL! The cat doesn’t care, at least.
