Who, me? Exercise?

Well...the Weight Watchers website has been promoting starting a walking or running team to train for a 5K walk/run. So I went to their website and signed up as a team of one. I really was just looking for an idea for a fun way to exercie, since I'd really rather not... They offered a free 8-week plan so I went ahead and signed up...and before I knew it, I was looking for a 5K to commit to. So hopefully one day this week I will be headed to Albuquerque to fill out an application. It's called the Cherry Garcia Run and takes place in Albquerque on June 28, 2009. Let me tell you, if it happens it will be a "first" for this 51-year-old un-athletic grandma...

18 again!

It's official! 20 pounds gone and all my size 22W jeans were falling off big time. So I went to Walmart today and bought some real live Levi's from the REGULAR section, size 18 REGULAR!!! I put them on easily, tucked my t-shirt in, and left all the tags on so I could dance around the living room. WAHOO!!!!!

Easter candy...


How easy is it to consume just one jelly bean...twenty or so times in one day...? Interspersed with just one little Dove chocolate egg...3 or 4 times? I didn't preplan enough so now I am stocked up on my sugar-free Russell Stover's individually wrapped portion controlled CHOCOLATE!!! (Actually, I didn't do too bad, considering...and I did log and deduct points for the snitches that I took...) Dinner was lean ham, boiled potatoes and red cabbage, YUM and low points. And a plug for "Over the Moon" brand of milk. It comes in half-gallon cartons and they have fat-free and 1%. It has about 10 calories more than regular milk but they add extra milk protein and calcium and that makes it taste WAY better than regular fat-free milk. I am a convert!
