240cals for 11 oz - would you eat it too?? 3 mile run 1 mile walk -EDITED

As you all know today our Anj stepped down from being a leader of Wildcats because she lost her job.  Without internet access she can’t be as proactive as she wants.  Well, I am taking her place TEMPORARILY as the leader for the Panther because we want our Anj back.  In the interim, Nicole will take my place as third leader.  We want a strong team, the same team that Anj dedicated herself to for so long.  WELCOME ABOARD MISS NICKY!

I have to say I don’t like change.  Today was hard because it forces me to make changes.  I loved how things were.  But the cycle of life is all about changes.  Today was a really good day aside from bucket loads of tears that were shed.  I have yet to loose focus.   Instead I’m more determined to do it then ever.

I’m off to my 4 mile jog/run/walk.  It has to be a low cardio day because I’ve been back at my routine with full force.

GUESS WHAT THIS KITTY DID 16 LAP AROUND THE TRACK = 3 MILE RUN AND 1 MILE WALK!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to a nearby school and ran the tracks.  WHoo hooo!  I feel liberated!

I am so proud of myself.  AUNT FLOW is almost here; any day now.  I wanted chocolate so so so so bad.  I can almost taste it.  Instead I opted to warm up my sweet  potato the steamed ones.  It’s not as good as chocolate but the craving is gone.   240 calories for 11 oz - can’t be that.  Now if you could eat 240 calories of food - what would you eat?  I want the chocolate but the sweet potato is a great filler.  UH HUH!!! And so sweet too!

Tomorrow I plan on getting 310 push-ups in.  WORKIN’ MY BABY BACK IN NOW!!!  I did some yesterday but I won’t count them.

    I like sweet potatoes but not a lot of them. I know today has been hard on many buddies :( I wish them all the best.

    Mmmm, I love sweet potato! And I just bought some green tea today ~ great minds must think alike :)

    I thought of you this afternoon, I actually put “There’s No Stopping Us” on my iPod and listened to it during my 3-mile walk (lol).

    I’m proud of you too, my friend. Keep it up!

    It was sad to see her go, even for a short time. Many tears today like you said. I was telling hubby about it and got choked up.
    I sent a thank you to you and Nicky for stepping up and filling these spots that have been opened in the cheer forum (I think it was that one).
    PMS isnt far away for me either. I have to have some chocolate. I noticed I tend to be a real witch without it during that time of month. Deal is, small portions not a whole bag lol. I want to say that you should be proud though for finding an alternative that works for you!
    Muffins, ohhhh…now thats something I havent had in ages…oh yum lol.

    I eat dill pickles to get rid of chocolate cravings and a big fat one is 25 cals. can’t beat that.

  12. Dagny @ March 27th, 2009

    hmmm lets see….chocolate…day after weigh in…of course I’d eat it!
    I just hate eating high calorie food that has like no nutrients or anything healthy, you know? like “empty calories”
    but in the end, I am for 20% 80% rule, meaning if at least 80% of my calories are healthy, 20% can be a small splurge

  13. backtomyheydays @ March 27th, 2009

    Silly questions….

    What are the wildcats? I assume some kind of workout or exercise challenge? What are the rules and regs? How can I join?

    Thanks!
