Over 200 New Year New Me Part 14

Awesome job!! 30 to go! Time for lots of hard work!

50 squats?!?!? Impressive!

I will keep doing my baby squats and hope my knees improve over time! Maybe when the body they are supporting is lighter they'll feel better?

I had sushi for lunch. yeah. Well... uhm... yeah.

MARI COME AND YELL AT ME!!!! The smart cookie system on MFP places sushi ads to the right of my screen all day and that doesn't help me much. Not any ol' sushi - but a picture of an Alaska roll (smoked salmon and avocado) which is my favorite!

I'll get my Week5 Day1 of 5K101 in tonight and then put in at lest 30 minutes on the upper body part of the circuit training weights. Maybe I'll also get on the elliptical for 35 minutes - that would probably help quite a bit! maybe even enough to allow me to have a smoothie for dinner?

LittleSpy - bugs don't bother me but I'm a fool when I see some poor little grass snake! There are big ol' black snakes in the attic at the farm and even though we have NEVER had one 'inside' the house I get all creeped out sleeping there. We only know they're in the attic because we find *gulp* big snakes skins up there!

Positively_Me - my sister and her wife are now making their own yogurt thanks to you! They make it by the half gallon, splitting it out into four pint jars. They're making smoothies for breakfast every morning using the yogurt, frozen fruit, and honey with a little vanilla for a flavor boost. I told them to try tossing in from fresh spinach for an extra kick!

mstahl: RAR! :yawn: (I know thats yawning but it can be yelling too! haha) I'm yelling at you! Why am I yelling at you? For eating too much sushi? Just dont eat too much of it, lol, its the rice that gets you. I wouldnt mind some either, but you could always try cutting back calories with a veggie roll or try eating nigiri sushi instead. Some places even make it with brown rice, which is best. (like publix!) also try other japanese fare, like udon or miso soup.
I recently went out for japanese and split a plate of eel sushi rolls with a friend as a small appetizer then had a seafood hotpot soup. Udon noodles are made from wheat, but alot of other japanese soups have rice noodle in them which is lower calorie...Coolest part, this restaurant served me YAM noodes in my hotpot. They're really cool! They're made from yams and are negative calories, read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirataki_noodles

Zero calorie noodles? :noway: FTW. Just be advised and season them well.

Calories - record shows just under but I'm a little over - just too lazy to find a smoothie with the same exact calories as the one I ate for dinner :yawn:
Water - not quite but pretty good over all!
Exercise - Week 5 Day 1 of the 5K101 - it was three sets of 8 minute jogs with two minute recovery walks - I had to stretch the last recovery walk to about five minutes before I could do the last 8 minute jog:ohwell:

Proud - that I actually JOGGED EIGHT MINUTES and I did it THREE TIMES! Granted... the last jog I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure a walker wasn't gaining on me:embarassed: I even RAN the last minute!

Now I'm icing my knee! OUCH both my left quad and my left knee are killing me.

Off to bed and tomorrow it's low impact swimming at the rec!

Awestfall-You are doing amazing!! Congrats on your first 30 gone

Momma-I think it's awesome that you've gotten your daughter involved in eating healthier. I found my fiance and I were rewarding my 2yr old with treats that weren't good for her so we've stopped that and now reward with activities like swimming or going to the park. I realized I was setting her up to want junk [she's great right now, loves everything from broccoli to liver and onions]

lil debbie- You've got 2lbs, 2lbs til you hit that 30 gone mark and you're gonna do that in no time
