I haven't been updating. Frankly, I've been bad. Ever since Kentucky, I'm finding it hard to get back on the workout wagon. I really want to start Couch To 5K. I'm at the point where I'm telling myself when the weather improves. I really wanted to start yesterday, but it was freaking cold.
Anyway, I really just wanted to mention this. I bought my dress for the Belmont Stakes (found one, yay!). It's a size smaller than all my dresses since I've had a need to buy dresses since 2007. Woot!

Wow...
I got busy. I stopped updating, didn't weigh in although I was WiiFitting. This morning I weighed in. I am proud to report that for the first time in a long time (sometime in college), I weigh less than 170lbs. This is weird, but I like it! I'm not going to lie, I didn't think I had it in me. But I guess I do! I can do it if I try. I'm just fearing the point where the number stops going down, or takes longer to go down. That's when the real challenge will start.

Bad
I know I haven't updated. But that doesn't mean I've quit the battle. I'm down 10lbs from that nasty weigh-in at the doctor's office. That does make me feel a lot better. It's a little scary when the number was allowed to get that high. I mean, it's bad. I'm only 5'3 plus a bit. There is no reason I should weigh that much other than lack of self control.
The new problem? A holiday coming up. At least it's just Easter. Easter isn't nearly as bad as Thanksgiving or Christmas. But I am going to make a dessert. I think I'm going to try using egg substitute and Splenda. The egg substitute should be fine, I think. It's not like the taste of egg is a part of the dessert. And I don't see why the Splenda should make it any different either. I'm really excited to make this and no diet is going to stop me! It will just slightly alter my course.

Does freaking out burn calories?
If so, I am a calorie burning machine today!
Breakfast was my cereal. I had lunch at home (left work early since racing was canceled) and ate a frozen veggie thing of barley, sugar snap peas and carrots. Delish! I love it. For dinner I had the Lean Cuisine pot stickers. They really are super yummy. I love them. But not as much as I love Zenyatta!
I'm going home for my weekend. Eating there is going to be tough. We'll see how it goes. I might have to allow myself my first "something special" since starting this thing.

New plan of action...
In an attempt to actually update every day, I'm going to start a post in the morning and save it, updating throughout the day, and HOPEFULLY remember to publish it before bed.
Anyway, while I have not been good about updating, I've been just fine about keeping on! Cereal for breakfast, fruit cup and FiberOne bar for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. For some reason, I haven't even been having dessert. I think it's because I've been eating dinner so late.
Why do I eat dinner so late? I've been doing my half hour on WiiFit when I get home from work, but I give myself a little downtime before getting to it. By the time all is said and done, I'm usually not getting around to dinner until 7. To tell you the truth, I kinda like this. I think it's good to have my meals spread out. They go about 9-1-7. I'd rather, actually, be taking my lunch at 2. Carmen always starts pestering me to go if I'm not gone by 1. I just use the first race as lunch time now, it works.
It's been a lot of fun playing with WiiFit Plus. What I love the most are the new games and the calories burned counter. The Island Cycle came gets my heart rate up and I really feel the burn in my lower half, which is something I desperately need. It just hurts my feelings a little that I can't find the final flag on the advanced level! I've resorted to doing the basic one a few times, but it goes so quickly it's annoying. But Rhythm Kung Fu? Oh my god! Most fun thing EVER! It's weird, I actually get excited to play it! It really feels more like a game than exercise. If it wasn't bed time and I didn't want to get myself going, I'd go play it now! I feel better now having something I look forward to doing.

Uh oh...
Slacker weekend. I did just a little bit of WiiFit Plus this weekend. Seems I somehow have more motivation during the week when there is less time? At least yesterday I walked around stores a lot and today I did more of that as well as at Belmont. Eating was not good on the weekend. The problem wasn't even eating bad stuff, it was not eating. Most of this was due to the fact that I'd get up late and my first meal wouldn't come until lunch time. I tried a new cereal by Kashi that I loved. Then I went to three stores and can't find anymore of it. Bummer. Lean Cuisine is going to be my new dinner staple, I think.

Starting to feel it
I'm really hungry. Do you ever get used to the hunger when you cut back on quantity? Yogurt, fruit cup, Lean Cuisine pizza. Call me crazy, but I think those things are really good. And I did my time on the WiiFit. I feel like the weather is so lovely I should go for a run, but I am not even close to running yet. This weekend, I need to go grocery shopping. Any suggestions?
