    Feeling so much better today. It may be the fact I slept for like 16 hours yesterday. I found my kickboxing dvd!! Woo! It was stuck in between some stack of DVDs out of the case. But now i can't find the remote to the blu-ray player and it won't work without it. So I'm going to wait until baby naps and do it in the other room with the old DVD player that doesn't need a remote to work. I tried it on the ps3, but I'm not smart enough to work that contraption.

    So that's my agenda, kickboxing for 20 and walking for 20 then cooking dinner tonight. I have an interview with IMAlive (www.imalive.org) today for starting my online suicide prevention stuff. I'm stoked. They'll be calling in about 45 minutes and I totally have no idea what they're going to ask but I'm cool with it.

    What should I cook for dinner? (I'm a vegetarian, keep that in mind. lol)

    I have created a little goal for myself. I've decided that I will take one superfood a week, find a recipe and make it. Small step on my way to healthier eating, but it helps to break the cycle of eating the same stuff all of the time. Plus, wouldn't you know it, a ton of fruits and veggies are superfoods. This is totally gonna help bring variety to my diet AND help me consume more veggies than just bell peppers, green beans and salad. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited to start knocking these foods off my list.

    Thats an awesome idea!!

    FINALLLLLLLLYYYYYYY!!!!

    After a week of eating right, watching the cals, etc the scale finally budged. I mean, i was the same exact number down to the ounce for 10days and that has nevery happened before in my life. Maybe from being sick? Who knows. And all it took was feeling healthy enough to workout and it jump started. yay!

    Oh my goodness I had the BEST potato the other day and I forgot to share. I had a veggie spud at McAllister's here in town. I've lived in Texas for over a year now and had never gone. I got half a chicken panini with half a spud, and it was yum. Potato covered in green peppers, tomato, olives, onions, mozzerella cheese, etc. Ahhh!!! I think i'm going to start loading my taters at home. :tongue:

    Finally reached the big 6-0 lost since starting MFP in September. Woo!

    Had my interview and the lady was kind of.. I don't know but not very friendly. She was straight to the point and just not a very warm person but whatever, it's done so I'm okay with that.

    I also had a NSV today!
    I bought my first pair of shorts (ever) over Christmas and pulled them on today and they fit like a glove! I was so stoked. I can't wait to wear them with some leggings and combat boots.. Yeah, that's my style. Lol.
    Also tried on the pair of 14's I've been eyeballing and I can get them on just not quit closed but close!

    Chopping it up to a good day.

    Hope everyone is having a good week. We keep getting hit with storm after storm here in lovely NH, at this rate the kids will be in school until August!

    Goals for the week: Not beat myself up. I had an epiphany during my run last night (btw it was almost 10pm) I overslept in the morning so I decided to run at night. Didn't go so well after a full day at work then home and kids! The run wasn't pretty and it wasn't long, probably my worst time yet. So I've decided that I'm going to cut myself a break and make up for it today.

    Victory for this week: Since I didn't run much last night I successfully turned down the ice cream cake at work today and kept on driving past the Burger King. (That was a pat on the back!)

    So nothing but water all week, and I will kick butt running tonight! Can't wait for the weigh in on Monday. :bigsmile:

    Happy Thursday!

    Welcome feetypajamas!

    jaspersmommy - Congrats on the big 60! Woot Woot - Shaking pom poms for you! Very impressive!

    I wish I was at home we are trying a new veggie recipe tonight - chickpea hamburgers without the bun. I'm sure you could find a recipe on line. I'll let you know tomorrow how they are.

    I'm jealous of all you guys with workout games. Now that we'll have a spare bedroom soon, I may have to invest in a gaming system.....

    I have another little NSV today. :)

    My sweet, darling little boy signed "eat" and then "more" when talking about his snacks. Then he proceeded to clap for himself. He's so very awesome and I'm a very proud mommy.

    I had a really crummy day today but my workout definitely made me feel better :) and kept me away from all the negative ways I deal with frustration. Score for nsv! Now I need my motivation to tide me over this weekend because I want a better lose than 0.4lbs!

    Heya pin-up girls. I haven't been really checking in with this board too much as I was on vacay, but I'm back now and plan to post more so as to get to know you guys better. I wanted to share a NSV today. I have fibromyalgia and it's been a lot better the past year but I still get flare-ups from time to time. Well, I woke up a zillion times last night as I my legs and hips were really, really achy. I debated staying in bed all day to "pamper" my sore little self but I got up, got the dog going and went on a bit of a hike in the snow -and you know what??? I feel 100% better!!!

    That's very awesome!! Glad you are feeling better and extra glad you were able to overcome that silly little voice in your head! Mine really didn't want to do anything after a stressful day at work and then grocery shopping, but I got home and did some yoga with my mom and I felt so much better, physically and mentally.

    i haven't heard anyone refer to a NSV before and I love it! A nice fall back for the days I lose my battle with the chocolate bar :smile:

    thanks for the link at sparkpeople. It's a great read. My scale doesn't seem to move much. I get my NSV from the measuring tape. Lost 3 inches so far

    My NSV is that I went out to dinner with a friend last night and made a good food choice that was healthier than most on the menu. It was tempting to get the big huge cheeseburger, but I went with fish tacos...a first for me. It was adventurous and a much smarter food choice. I was pretty proud of myself for not saying "screw it, I'm out to dinner, I'll get whatever I want". The thought of my efforts being thrown out the window for one high calorie meal wasn't worth it.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Precious! I'm so happy for you and, as a fellow mommy, proud for you and your son too!

    So my bf is now watching how much he's eating and drinking a ton of water. He's been doing it for 2 days and already dropped 6lbs. No fair!!! lol Guess I'm one of those who needs to take my own advice. :laugh:
