Last Week!!

I am SO glad this is the last week. I have developed some good new habits and am really glad that I participated and would do it again, but I am ready for a break! I did not have a good week 5. I mostly fell apart yesterday. But, it's a new day!

Hey MisFits. I'm away roadtripping for the weekend, so this in my contact for the day. I've been running the last 2 days and it's felt really great. I also managed to get 4 out of my 5 meals in correctly. Picking my entree became much more difficult when trying to get all carbs, proteins and fat. But I prevailed. And tomorrow is my free day.

I'll be on the road Monday too, so please also some communication then. And then on to the final week! Go team!

Water water everywhere

I think drinking 3 L of water is showing itself through the fact that here at work have used up our water from the water cooler before our next delivery. I'll take credit for this.

I'm singlehandedly keeping the water cooler company a float. ;)

Fitness Goal?

Can I change my bonus goal from weight-loss to fitness for the final 2 weeks? This won't give a penalty, right? I'm going to to be on roadtrips the next 2 weekends, so I'll be away from my scale for the Monday weigh-in. But I'll have running shoes! So this week my goal is to run 4 miles non-stop. And for the FINAL WEEK [what?! seriously?!] it'll be 5 miles. Both of these goals are a big deal because I don't know if I've ever run longer than 4 miles at one time, ever.

I'm still bummed that I missed out on the bonus this week. Stupid points.

Bonus!

I'm back into bonus land! This week was challenging. I was in court all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings in Lansing. I did miss two meals, but there was a salad bar in the cafeteria. If there is a salad bar, it's easy to put together the meal. I did stash baggies of sliced apples, cheese sticks and a few almonds in my purse! Today is my weigh in day for this week and not only did I lose the f&%$ing pound that showed up last week, I lost 3 more! (I'm sure that was a water pound last week.)

Yum

I tried this, as I needed some variety in my diet.  I found it to be delicious.

1/2 C Fat Free Ricotta
1/2 C Fresh Berries (I used Strawberries and Blueberries)
Dash of Vanilla
1 tsp.Honey or Agave Nectar
1 Tbs. Crushed Cashews or other nut of your choice

Ending Week 4? Good God

I can't believe it's actually the end of week 4. At times, this week has been harder, but not that much harder. I've found part of the trick is eating large salads AND making sure to eat enough. The enemy of dieting is starving yourself.
