One Down, One to Go!

Well, the first of two big graduation parties happened last night. I was so excited when I got in the food line and the first two things I encountered were a bowl of plain, fresh fruit and a wonderful mixed green salad with dressing on the side. Ah, what a relief. I didn't have to blow a lot of points. There was also lasagna. I had a miniscule piece. It was very saucy with little cheese so it didn't do too much point damage. I also treated myself to a very small rice krispy treat with a cup of black coffee. Whew!

The next one is Sunday. It should be a little more difficult to navigate, foodwise. That's okay. I'm prepared to use my final cheat day for it. I might not need to as I will be running tomorrow (4 extra points) and I still have a bunch of 'weeklies' left. I just don't want to starve on Monday and Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. I just know that this same family had the most incredible food at their other son's grad party last year.....I don't know that I'll WANT to resist.

Long Time, No Post

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. Last week I had another two-pound loss. This week I gained it back. Not sure what that's all about. I've been very faithful to both Weight Watchers and my marathon training. I look better and feel better, though, so I guess that's what matters. I had my first June cheat day on Sunday but usually that doesn't hurt me, weight-wise. I probably will have to have my other cheat day on Sunday. Major graduation party with lots of incredible food.

I've been Wii-ing a lot lately and having a riot! I love the Wii Fit! ....even if it does call me names(like couch potato) and mock me when I can't complete a pushup. ("C'mon! Those muscles aren't going to work themselves, you know"). Oh, thank you Mr. Virtual Trainer. Anyway....I am so spastic when it comes to some of the balance games like crossing the tightrope. My 6-year-old practically runs across. I've made it only ONCE! I'll stick to the ski jumping for now...since that's the only game in which I can kick everyone else's keister!

I suppose I shouldn't worry about the weight for now. If it's true that a woman's body thinks it's starving to death during the first 30 minutes of exercise, then the marathon training should help whittle the weight away. Until now, all the runs have been thirty minutes or less. Come June 30th, NONE of the runs will be less than thirty minutes, which is both exciting and terrifying.

I'm off to abuse myself just a little more with the Wii Fit......

Have a good weekend!

First, the Good News!

I lost another TWO pounds this week. For this, I am grateful. Extremely grateful. However, I logged on to the Weight Watchers site and fed them said weight loss information. Guess what else I lost? Another two daily points!!! Unfair! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Twenty daily points???? I'll starve to death, I tell you!

I better go eat some broccoli and simmer down.
