Recap from yesterday

Okay - so I did not get a workout in yesterday. Lots of reasons, but I just decided that I am definately gonna fail if I try to commit to working out every single day this summer - so Iam gonna shoot for 5 days a week at minimum and if I do more, awesome! I am such a black or white person, so I am trying to break that habit and find the gray in things. For me, 5 times a week is gray - at least for now. I did great again on my diet though - no coffee or soda and no caffeine headache to speak of, so I think I am over that hump at least.

I discovered a great breakfast. I take about 1/2 cup of 0% fat FAGE greek strained yogurt (you can get the big tubs at Costco), drizzle a little honey on top and top it with that homemade granola I gave everyone the recipe for. IT IS DELCIOUS!!! It is now my new craving - but I am limiting myself to breakfast. I am trying to make up a pitcher of fruit and veggie shake and drink that 3 times a day - this keep me from feeling hungry during the day and for me, is a real treat. I really like the shakes alot. And I am trying to have a salad with chicken or some kind of protein every day as well. Then, I try to have a reasonable dinner (sound slike a Slimfast commercial huh!). So far, I have done great on avoiding processed food and am eating as much whole food as possible. I even resisted the movie popcorn and candy yesterday and opted for a handful of dried fruit and nuts.

Susan, I am very seriously considering getting the Wii Fit Plus you talked about - any idea when they are coming out or what makes it "plus"?

It looks like the official participants are me, John, Kathy, Paula and Susan. Unofficially, I think Matt and Kim are following and may post occasionally. Diane, Kathy said you still check in every once in awhile. We would love to hear from you on how you are doing.

Paula, are you there? Looking forward to hearing how today goes for you. I told you I was gonna harass you and I'm gonna. Also, I got my baseline weight (FINALLY) yesterday, so we are good to go for our little side bet. For those wondering, I am going to Ohio to visit Paula and my family mid-July and Paula and I are doing a little mini Biggest Loser competition to see who can lose the most % body weight between now and then. The winner has to buy the other one dinner. We are poor - so I have to win - GAME ON! Although, it sound slike Paula is pretty committed to winning too - we shall see.
