Yay FitBit!!!

My FitBit Zip bit the dust last week after less than six months of ownership. I bought it back in December and already needed a new battery in March. Kind of a huge strike in my book seeing as how the website said they should last six months on a battery. No biggie, stuff happens. Could have been a bad battery. Anyhoo...fast forward to this month (last Thursday to be exact) when I ended my day with 728 steps. Really? Hmmm...seems a little odd since I can get more steps than that sleep walking in the middle of the night!! So, I emailed the company and explained to them what happened. After troubleshooting a couple of things (including a new battery) they decided to mail me a new FitBit Zip. Guess what arrived today?! Yep, my new FitBit Zip!


Since I went a few days without adding up some points, I decided to jump on the treadmill and make up for some lost time. My daughters decided that it was too nice out to walk indoors so we took it to the street. It was nice walking with my two girls and our pooch. {The poor thing is out cold right now!} It was a great evening!!!


And finally, I stumbled upon this quote today and decided that I absolutely love it!! It just might become my new mantra!!! Have a WONDERFUL evening!!!

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming

Day 1 is Done!

Yesterday was another "day one" and in the past I may have patted myself on the back (or not) and moved on. Today I am going to evaluate how I did yesterday, here we go! I did not have my FitBit charged in advance so I lost about a 1/2 day of steps and ended my day with only 3,721 steps. I guess it is better than zero. I stuck to my meal plan! Woohoo!! Here is what I ate: Breakfast: Oatmeal w/1 tsp of turbinado sugar (0 PPV) Lunch: Whole Wheat flatbread pizza with FF shredded cheese (w/1 tsp EVOO), and no salt tomato sauce (w/1 tsp Italian seasoning). (0 PPV) Afternoon Snack: Starbucks Venti Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte (0 PPV - I LOVE Simply Filling!) Dinner: 93% Lean Ground Beef Burger on a Whole Wheat sandwich thin, FF sharp cheddar slice, homemade sweet potato fries (w/1 tsp EVOO). (0 PPV) Evening Snack: Flatout Fold It, FF ricotta cheese, frozen blueberries, 1 tsp turbinado sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon (0 PPV) I drank 75 oz. of water! Yay me! I did not earn my 2

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi
