Hello!
Time ran away from me yesterday as I worked a longer day and everything got pushed back from then on.
Did a ton of walking around yesterday which added up to an hour, this included walking across site to a meeting (15min), treadmill in a super hot room (30min) and having to trek up and down a stupid long haul way 3 times because my camp room key didn't work (15min)- while lugging a computer bag and a duffle bag.
Food wise was not so incredibly fantastic and it started to go down hill yesterday night. Probably because I was super tired being up at 4am and awake until 11pm. Though I did sleep super well as my alarm took me by surprise this morning.
Today was not so hot either as I got a little bit of disappointing news and the lunch options kind of sucked today. I did not pack my lunch in the to go kitchen this morning and suffered the consequences.
I have definitely not mastered the emotional eating, however I did have the flexpoints so all is not lost.
Diligence must return so that I can see 186 on the scale on Saturday. I am confident that I'll do it.
Got the yoga paws today and they're neat. I just tried the hand part on and it's cushioned. I'm thinking I'll love this during downward dog as that always kills my hands.
Alright my friends I'm a little zonked so it's early to bed for moi.
Hugs!!!

Destroyed in seconds
No not the show, it was my manicure. Got that today with my friend T and then I got home and decided to resurrect my wii. I managed to mangle 3 nails in the removing of the backing to the batteries on the remote (this was hours after the manicure). I haven't used the wii in ages and thought I should play. Well when I don't use it, I don't leave it plugged in (saving energy people) and the cables hook in the front of my tv so I unplug those to.
Well it was on Friday I decided to play and I couldn't figure out why there was sound but no picture. Today I went online to find the wii manual and it turns out I had the red, white and yellow plug ins in the wrong order. Yeesh. So today I played a little volleyball.
Afterwards I re-did the nails with some nail envy and clear top coat. They still look fabulous.
I'm thinking of picking of the EA active as I've heard so much about it on the blogs. I think it might be a good addition to the workout regime.
My favourite games are sport related so I was also looking at the Mario and Sonic winter olympic one as well.
Plugged my WW weight in to the National X-Weighted challenge today as I've completely flipped my decision to treat the weigh ins seperately. It would just be more special when I hit goal at WW combined with x-weighted.
Got a nice little "Oops" announcement as I'm averaging 1.7lbs per week on the x-weighted challenge and I'm supposed to be averaging 1.8lbs - really? You're going to give me flack over .1 lbs?
Just looked up the town closest to site and it's -35 with windchill. I'll be packing the long johns that's for sure. The lovely thing is it's supposed to be 0 in Calgary on Wednesday.
Doing great on the points and water today and I'll be doing yoga shortly. The runners are coming to camp so I can hit the treadmill again. On track to day 9 in a row of being OP.
Took the measurements this morning and I lost 1.5in off of bust, 1.5in off of abs, 2in off of hips, 1in off of right bicep, and just shy of an inch of right thigh. I'm taking these measurements every month so this is after 1 month of recommitting to WW.
Alright my friends slightly random post but that's all I got for today.
I hope all of you are having a fabulous Sunday.
Hugs!!!

Shazaam!
So you know I was hoping for 188 today, well I hit 187.8 instead. Shazaam!!!!
That's 5lbs down from last week so I've eliminated the 1.6 gain and am still on track for 2lbs a week. I am 1.6 away from hitting 10lbs and my first 5% goal. If I can do it next week that will be exactly 2lbs per week since I rejoined WW.
Next weekend I also retake the measurements.
Happy dance time!
I think this loss is due to my accidental Wendi week. Coming off of Edmonton which were higher point days I went straight into OP days. Midweek resulted in using some flexpoints therefore a higher day and then smack into OP days for the rest of the week. Plus the last few days I was very very conscious of salt intake. Water was fantastic and I made the treadmill workouts a bit more difficult by adding higher inclines.
Zipped into Safeway to grab milk and some organic roasted garlic tomato sauce, my Safeway has finally installed the self service tills so I zipped through there.
I was on a mission to get home fast as I had planned to see Avatar today. I left the WW meeting 10min early. Well I got home and re-checked the movie times. There's no matinee today at this theatre and the only showing is 9:25pm. My friend checked the times last week, they change on Saturdays. I phoned her and told her the news. No other movie really interested us so we've put that plan on hold for now.
That's cool with me as I'd rather not spend $13 on a movie I didn't really want to see.
I have household chores to do anyway and I'd prefer to get that done today. Tomorrow I see my friend T and we're getting our nails done and of course I leave for site super early the following day.
A thing that struck me in the meeting today was this "If hunger is not the problem, food is not the answer".
The topic today was emotional hunger vs. physical hunger. I'm definitely a boredome eater. Lately I've created a meal schedule and a food cut off time for myself to avoid the snacking and I've pretty good at sticking with it.
This week I'm sticking to the same plan of cardio and yoga, however I do drop a point in my daily points so I'll have to keep that in mind in the food plans.
If you weigh in today I hope it went well and I hope you all have a fabulous Saturday.
Hugs!!!

Stick to schedule
I decided to stick to my Saturday morning weigh in after all.
Today was meant to be a day off, so it's a day off. I'm just relaxing and reading then yoga.
Water is on track, food is on track and I saw 188.6 on the scale at home so I'm hoping for 188 on the nose tomorrow.
Later,
Hugs!!!

Switch it up?
I woke up at my own by 6:30am today, so I just decided to get up. Then I thought I should weigh in today.
My thinking swayed by it's supposed to be -1 today and tomorrow morning it will be closer to -10 and snowing. I'm meeting a friend tomorrow at noonish to finally check out Avatar so a little sleep in on Saturday wouldn't be so bad.
I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a super decent number. There is a meeting today at my local WW at noon. I also thought opportunity to check out a different leader. Decisions I tell ya.
I decided to eat a little breakfast and about an hour before I'd have to leave for today's meeting I'll step on the scale again and see. You know the mission is 188 so I'm not sure if one more day will make a difference or just aid in next week's weigh in. Plus if I weigh in today the grocery store is across the street so I could take care of that today.
Yesteray I received the Germany Lululemon hoody. This is the size smaller one. I managed to get it zipped up but it's very gurdle like. I think it will just about perfect when I hit my 10%
Last night after work I headed over to the Body Shop in search of lightening touch - my favourite under eye concealor. I've been checking since the re-opened downtown just before Christmas. They still didn't have it. Well enough is enough I'm moving on. I headed over to Shopper's Drug Mart and started checking out some make-up lines. The salesperson asked if I needed help and I told her what I was looking for. She suggested Benefit Erase Paste. This has the same light refracting effect as Lightening Touch but it's in a jar. I'm reading the instructions and you can use it not just on eyes. I will be testing this out and report my findings.
I'm in love with the Ultra Cleanser from Kiehl's - this is definitely a keeper. I like the Ultra Moisturizer and it's holding up alright to some wicked cold weather.
I also wandered over to Origins and picked up a jar of Starting Over, I'm pushing 40 and while I occasional poll people to guess how old I am they still say 28, I'm very conscious of getting older. While I embrace that I become more confident as I get older I am fighting the signs every step of the way. Look for a review on that as well.
Alright might be back later, hugs!!!

Long weekend...ahhhh
I worked late tonight to give myself tomorrow off and I'm so looking forward to sleeping in. I've been running on empty the past few days with being busy and thinking of the mounting work a head of me. Two people are under the weather at work and I'm not taking any chances.
Tomorrow will be sleeping late and working out.
The gym bag did not go to work with me today as I knew that I'd bringing my work computer home for site on Monday. The stuff I need to cart around weighs a ton. I realized I'd be staying later to get a few things done.
I'm supposed to do yoga tonight but now that I've had dinner I'm not feeling it.
This just means tomorrow I need a cardio workout and a yoga practice, super manageable I must say.
Completely on plan today so food is in check. I've taken my vitamins and flossed every single day since I re-started my journey on Jan. 2. This is day 6 of staying OP.
I really wanting to see 188 on the scale on Saturday so that will keep me in check tomorrow.
Hope you had an awesome Thursday!
Hugs!!!

Gym buddy
Hello,
40min of cardio is completed on the treadmill after work. I had my work mate with me and time flew as we chatted. I didn't need my ipod even.
I had intended to more yoga tonight but right now I think my priority is a hot bath. It was a fairly busy day and I'm feeling a wee stressed.
I applied for a new job at work and my current co-workers are super supportive and very encouraging and it's freaking me out. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their positive thoughts but I don't want to get my hopes up to wind up disappointed.
I just want to focus on what's in front of me and whatever happens will happen.
Food wise I dipped into flex today as I was busy with other work mates and they bought me lunch. I didn't where we were going. It was Chinese food, I had zip idea on points so I tried to choose well. I did o.k but some of that stuff counted higher than I thought.
Tomorrow I'm with them again. I think I'll steer them the way of Subway. My gym bag is already packed for another date with the treadmill.
I'm debating taking Friday as a flex day. I think I just might.
Hope you all had a fabulous day.
Hugs!!!

Mind over matter
Hello again my friends,
I'm back home again and the trip home was relatively uneventful with the plane taxing forever to where we get off and the 7 car pile up on the way home in the cab.
Today I packed my lunch in the to go kitchen again assembling my chef salad. This time I scooped the egg yolk out and just ate the white. Then I realized I should have grabbed more eggs. If 3 egg whites are 1pt, that's an awesome way to add the protein to the salad.
When I got home I had to shovel my sidewalk and I do feel pretty zonked when I get off the plane. The plan was yoga tonight and I had to fight myself to do it. I convinced myself to just roll out the mat and change into yoga friendly clothes. Then I thought you can just do one episode of Namaste as opposed to two. I just started and kept going through the 2nd episode. I've done the Exalted Warrior and Sun/Moon episodes 3 times now. Tomorrow I'll do Sun/Moon and the 3rd episode.
A co-worker who's based in Fort Mac is in Calgary for a few days so she's going to come with me to the gym tomorrow. That's handy motivation as I now I have to go. I was planning to any way but that extra influence isn't a bad thing.
On track for day 4 in a row. Yes my counting OP days has restarted since my Edmonton trip.
Alright I'm going to watch BL on the dvr and then to bed for me.
Later, hugs!!!

Snaps for IT guy
Alas all it took was some unclicking of boxes for me to be able to access the world wide web...yeah!!!
Sunday night I did do 40min of yoga after I spent 25 very unlike zen minutes trying to find the DVD. I took it to Edmonton with me, unpacked it and then couldn't find it. After frantically looking it was hiding under a piece of paper. I calmed down enough to have a nice practice and by 7:30pm I was totally zonked.
Went to bed early waking up every couple of hours until shazaam the alarm was going off. I had a kamikaze cab driver to the plane but after that all was good. I snoozed on the plane and stuck to my food plan 100%. -30 with windchill greeted me, yippee...not.
Work went well, despite finding my phone and network cable had gone missing. I had loads to do and everything came together pretty well.
When I got to camp I went straight to the gym and did 40min of a very brisk walk. Discovered the only way I can do treadmill without boring myself to death is to do intervals. Every 5min I changed something like speed or incline, but keeping them short I could totally stay entertained for 5min, add the good tunes and the 5min are even more entertaining.
I had heard a rumour that a nutritionist had been brought to camp to make the food a wee bit healthier. Today I had the cajun meatloaf with veggies. Normally the meatloaf is kind of scooped out so the serving sizes are totally random. Today it was in slices that actually looked like a normal serving (palm of hand size).
Came back to my room, had a shower and now I type to you while half watching the Bachelor. It will be an early night as it's another long day tomorrow.
Yes, camp is nearish to Fort Mac. These are yoga paws.
The goal for tomorrow is to stay OP and do yoga when I get home. The dvd is safely in the dvd player at home.
Hope your day was fantastic.
Hugs!!!

Fictional buses
I had to go in to work today to pick up some papers I need for site tomorrow. I had originally intended to go yesterday but with all the snow I thought I'd put it off until today.
Well there was snow again today but I really had no choice. I looked up the bus that stops close to my house and within a block of where I work. I headed out about 5min before the bus is supposed to be there. There was another woman waiting so I thought well that's a good sign. The bus was supposed to be there by 12:06, well by 12:20 there was still no bus. I gave up and walked to another bus that's about 5 blocks away. I didn't wait long and a bus arrived.
I hadn't gone into this building after hours yet but it was super straightforward. Got what I needed and on the way out thought about stopping at the mall but then I saw a bus so decided to go home. I saved money and temptation as I hadn't had lunch yet.
Just whipped up a super quick lunch consisting of Ikea's Rosti and Meatballs, and some peas. I love the frozen potato pancakes and their 2 for 1pt.
Now the plan is to hit the yoga mat for 40min, pack for site and be in bed early.
I'm taking the runners to site this week as I need to focus on the cardio. The plan is cardio Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I'm going to do yoga daily if I can, I'm not taking the mat to site on Monday as I've scaled down in bag to make it easier to cart around but the mat won't fit. The mode of transportation to camp and back are school buses. It gets super tight in space as those things are not designed to cart adults in full winter wear carting luggage. I got the Ecotex duffle from Heys in Lilac, I'm hoping it will be way easier to identify in the dark when I get to site too. The majority of bags are black and all look the same in the dark.
I ordered a pair of yoga paws yesterday so I will have a very easy packable option soon.
Stepped on the scale this morning and it said 189. I then checked it 3 times. I'm more determined then ever to keep that going till weigh in. There was a girl at my meeting that hit goal on Saturday and her weight now is my goal weight and I think we're the same height. It was kind of surreal to see what I might just look like.
Hope you're enjoying your Sunday.
I need to call my work IT guy tomorrow to sort out my internet issues with my work computer so if that's fixed I will check in tomorrow from camp. If not, I'll talk to you on Tuesday.
Hugs!!!!

Last week the fabulous Enz and Counting Girl gave me this, I'm totally flabbergasted and quite honored. I've never received a blog award before.
I'm sure you've seen these a lot lately and of course the rules are to state 7 things about yourself that others may not know about you and nominate 7 other bloggers.
For the first part:
1. I'm the only person in family born in Canada, 98.9% are born in Germany.
2. I speak 4 languages - English, French, German and Russian
3. I've been told I'm a good singer but the only time I do it is if I'm fairly certain no one else is around.
4. I had a skin cancer scare a few years back, melanoma the deadliest of the bunch. Caught in time but I'm now a mega promoter of sunscreen and practicing safe sun.
5. I have an addiction to kitchen appliances i.e Cusinart griddler, Kitchen Air mixer, blender and immersion blender. I almost bought a quesadilla maker but talked myself out of it.
6. I'm a science fiction geek. Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Gallactica.
7. I dance at the bus stop in the morning, of course if no one is around. I'm not sure if any neighbours have seen it as I am there at 6am and the moment I think I'm spotted I stop.
Now for the 7 bloggers, the thing is the ones that pop into my head have already received this award. So I'm thinking we should find the unsung blogs that other might not know about. I will nominate one and that's Carol. I admire how she never gives up when her body is fighting her.
If you know someone that we're all missing out on please leave it in my comments and I'll add it to the roll on the side of my blog so others might link to it.
Oh yes the weigh in - Up 1.6, I love Clare (my leader) as she congratulated me on a controlled gain. Oh yes it could have been much worse with the food and the alcohol so I didn't throw the whole plan out the window. I swear that will be lost plus a bit more by next Saturday. I walked to and from the meeting in sideways flying snow.
I hit the grocery store after weigh in and my fridge is stocked with healthy and savoury. I'm ready to start my on plan routine again. I made it 18 days last time, now I'll beat that.
I purchased a little extra motivation last night as I got an email from Lululemon with their "Cheer them on" stuff. I bought the Remix hoody Germany (I own multiple hoodies with Canada on them) pictured above. I normally wear a size 12 in their hoody but that was sold out so I went with a size 10. The plan is to be in it shortly.
Have a groovy Saturday my friends.
Hugs!!!

I'm back and the blip
I had mega computer issues while in Edmonton which resulted in not being able to access the internet, hence no blogging. I missed you guys.
I hit my first blip since re-committing to WW. I wasn't good all the time and I wasn't bad all the time. I made healthy decisions and unhealthy decisions.
The treadmill at the gym was broken and the hotel gym was pretty sad.
Activity was pretty much non existent as the days were long, tracking was abandoned, water was pretty good, flossing and vitamines were on target.
I am totally expecting a gain at weigh in tomorrow and that's o.k. This is a blip not a train wreck. I'm a mega back on track immediately.
I'm not beating myself up about this. I had a pretty enjoyable time being stuck in a hotel for 3 days.
This Monday we start a fitness challenge at work. Every 30min of exercise count as a point. If you get 8 pts in a week you get your name in a draw for a prize. Plus there's a prize for the highest number of pts during the challenge. I'm so in.
All right my friends I'm now off to catch up on your blogs.
Hugs!!!

Time just flew
My day went pretty fast today, I was busy and all of a sudden it was 11am and then it was 3pm. I was just trying to get organized before heading off to Edmonton and man that sucks up a lot time.
Actually packed my lunch today and stuck to my pre-planned day really well. I bought a box of the WW 1pt bars Chocolate Caramel on Saturday. I had one in my lunch bag and when I got the 9am munchies (I have breakfast at 5am) it totally hit the spot and I was fine till lunch.
Came home and immediately went to the yoga mat. I tried the new dvd yesterday and I really enjoyed the warm up portion and then it got wicked fast. I guess that's why they call it power yoga. The dvd is definitely a keeper but I think I need to work my way up to it. Tonight I went back to the Namaste dvds.
A long time ago I went to a yoga retreat given by Kate Potter, she's the one who created the Namaste series. I had off and on tried yoga up until then. I adore her work and felt the need to brush up if I was going to do 2 days of yoga. So I kind of crammed yoga. I would do the warm up and the main part of one episode followed by the warm up, main part and savasana of the 2nd episode. I would do this twice then I would start with 2nd episode and add it to the 3rd episode, repeat and so on. I learned to really love it and didn't make a total fool of myself at the retreat either.
I'm doing this again and starting at the beginning. It works out to 40min of yoga and sort of easing myself back in to it. I've lost a lot of flexibility and it feels fantastic to stretch out those muscles. My shoulder is getting better a little every day. It doesn't hurt it's just lost a bit of range. The dvd is coming to Edmonton as I want to do this daily. The runners are coming as well so I can take advantage of the hotel gym. According to WW online 40min of yoga is 2 Activity pts - that's neat.
I'm also introducing flexpoints into my week, just a couple so far as I do want them as security when eating out.
What will be difficult for me is I'm a daily weigher, I stand on that scale every morning to track my progress. There will be no scale until I get home Friday evening. I've only seen a scale in the hotel I stayed at while in Montreal. That will an interesting experiment on my part.
Alright my friends, I never did that pack list on the weekend so need to go do that so I'm somewhat organized tomorrow.
Hope your day was fantastic.

Sunday surprises
I was puttering away just about to do load two of laundry - bed sheets when my friend T phoned. She was on her way to a pedicure and asked if I wanted to come along. I thought why not.
Got the pedicure and then zipped into Walmart. She had shopping to do and I picked up some stuff as well. I got a jar of popcorn kernels, T's suggestion. I forgot that 3 cups air popped is one point. I can't even remember that last time I air popped popcorn. This was today's afternoon snack after I searched my basement for my airpopper. I'll a bring some to work tomorrow as well as a good low point snack.
I also picked up a box of frozen Prime stuffed chicken breast with prosciutto and swiss (4pts per breast), I thought it's a good quick protein, the box was $10 for 3 breasts but I still thought that's not bad as chicken is expensive. I also got a pack of Skinny Cow sundae cups - cookie dough flavour - 2pts per cup. I'll review when I have a chance to try them.
At the meeting yesterday I bought one of the new points calculators, of course I didn't have it with me while shopping so I've now put that into my bag.
I recently started my regular post grocery shopping routine which involves calculating the points and writing them with a sharpie on the container before putting the groceries away.
I opted not to go for a walk as I wanted to enjoy my beautifully soft tootsies for a day but yoga is definitely on the schedule as soon as laundry is done.
Looking forward to not having to get up insanely early tomorrow as I'm staying in town the next two days as I'll be away for the rest of the week. The computer is coming with me so I hope to still blog.
Oh yes on target to be tracking and being OP for day 15. They say it takes 4 weeks to make or break a habit. I'm half way to creating some very healthy habits.
Hope your weekend was fabulous.
Hugs!!!

Lazy Sunday - not exactly
I had an unplanned 2.5 hour nap yesterday, right after lunch I felt a little zonked so thought I'd lay down. Yeah, that kind of killed all my chore plans for yesterday so that's now all been moved to today. Apparently I needed the rest.
So on top of house cleaning, laundry and making a packing list for my trip I also want to head outside for a walk as it should be about zero celsius at 1pm plus I want to try the new yoga DVD I got from Lululemon. It's called "power yoga for happiness 2 with Eoin Finn - surf edition". This is the dvd I walked in on when I was at site that week and thought the gym was empty till I saw the girl on the floor. I'm not a surfer but the blurb on the back of the dvd also says it's good for "landlubbers".
I watched the last 10 min of it as she was on the floor and I was on the treadmill. The ocean was in the background and that's one thing I'd love to do one day - yoga on the beach. It's 2 Dvds with 6.5 hours of yoga with one long routine broken into 7 routines ranging from 85min (full routine) to 34min. Apparently also good for all levels as well. I also enjoy that the instructor is Canadian or maybe just lives in Canada.
Since I've been back to meetings I haven't really been using much of the 35 flexpoints, the max so far was 6 in one week. I've always believed they are there to be eaten but now I'm a little scared to go there. I know that's stupid as I had great losses before when I used them. I'm debating to I use them on purpose or use them for emergencies..have to give that a think.
Alright I better get laundry started, might be back later but if not have a fabulous Sunday.
Hugs!!!

Down 1.8 - 5lb sticker!!!
Had no idea what the WW scale would say today, when I stepped on my scale this morning I got readings that said 189 in pajamas and 191 in my nike sweatpants and t-shirt.
I walked to weigh in and when I stood on the scale it was 191.2, down 1.8. For a brief nanosecond I was disappointed as I was kind of hoping for 189. Then I realized the following things:
*Down 1.8 is exactly what I need to be on track to be at goal by July 10
*I would normally be up a couple of pounds this week thanks to the hormone fueled snackapalooza.
*That's 5lbs in two weeks on program. That's half way to 5% off of my body.
Heck I should be doing a happy dance. When Clare handed out the 5lb stars my hand was the first one up to say I get one.
This was a rough week. I was crazy busy all week and a wee bit (some days not so wee bit) stressed. Water was not fantastic and neither was exercise. In all honesty I thought I was hanging on to program by the seat of my pants. Yesterday there was cake in the kitchen, chocolate mocha cake. I shaved off a sliver of that cake and savoured it - then I wrote in my tracker.
The week in review:
Tracking 7/7
Flossing 7/7
Vitamins 7/7
Cardio 3/7
Yoga 1/7
Water - Technically 7/7 but my goal is 2L per day and I got 6 cups.
At the start of today's meeting we had a bit of guest speaker. Darlene who is another WW leader lost 160lbs in 2 years. She told us some tips that kept her on track. This included tracking, making it a priority and moving more.
What really struck me was when she said the key was attitude. I totally believe that. A positive attitude has been my focus for the past few weeks. I have to 100% believe I can do this. This means letting absolutely nothing get in my way.
On Friday as I was leaving a couple of co-workers where saying that Friday is pizza night in their houses. Of course their both skinny but I thought no pizza the day before weigh in. I thought I can have pizza on Saturday.
Today I got some Yves soy pepperoni, a pillsbury pizza crust and I'll make my own pizza tonight and way less points then ordering one. The other thing we talked about in the meeting was staying satisfied.
I'm still focused and I will rock Edmonton this week as well.
I'm wondering how the x-weighted weigh ins will work. The site still says week one. On the show you never see their first week weigh in. There's nothing on the site explaining the weigh in either. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Alright my friends, I'm going to go fill my water bottle. Enjoy your Saturday!

Oy vey what a week this has been
My new 3 month tracker is now completely up to date and it did go into a ziploc bag on the trip to work this morning.
As I was watching Biggest Loser last night I was thinking how I'm not rooting for anyone. There are no personalities that appeal to me and I started wondering if people are now being picked for how heavy they are. This is the biggest cast they've had. Normally in the finale you some amazing transformations. I get the feeling the finale this round will only be the first step like it was for Shae.
I could not sleep last night, I tossed and turned forever. At one point I looked at my alarm and it was 1:30am - not a good time to get up. I finally did fall a sleep and woke up thinking I wonder what time it is now. It was the time I'd normally be standing at the bus stop. Aaack my alarm did not go off. I jumped out of bed and then forced myself to stop and think. I grabbed a glass of milk and took my vitamins. I grabbed a granola bar and tossed into my bag. Then I got dressed and called a cab.
Where a granola bar is not a fantastic breakfast I didn't want to run out the door and hit the food court for breakfast. I was in a super time crunch as I had a meeting first thing this morning as well. I did go to Opa for lunch with some work mates without knowing the points and was a wee surprised when I looked it up and it was a whopping 13pts. I didn't eat the entire thing but I'm counting it at the full points. The good news I had the room in my day due to my low point lunch. I will still finish today on track despite my not so great start to the day.
I did buy a new alarm clock on the way home as this morning's snafu has happened a few times now. One more day till weigh in - the first weigh in of the challenge as well.
I'm hanging in there.
Hope you are too :)
Hugs!!!

Noooooooooo!!!!!!
This was my reaction this morning when I went to retrieve my 3 month tracker from my work bag. It was wet. Apparently I didn't close my water bottle properly and my tracker acted as the sponge. Of course everything else in the bag was dry. Before breakfast I was ripping paper towel to place between the pages.
At lunch I decided to go buy a new tracker as I really want this thing to be a nice record of the next 3 months. I popped into the meeting downtown to get it. I didn't have my weigh in book but I told them my membership number, where I weighed in and my leaders name and they finally agreed to sell one to me. I did find out that you don't have to prove membership to buy the food products. My friend who does WW online was with me so that's cool news for her.
This morning I wrote out my day on a piece of scrap paper. Tonight I'll copy all the info from the old tracker into the new tracker and from now on that thing is going into a ziploc bag and then into whatever purse or bag I'm carrying around.
It's now for sure I'm going to Edmonton next week. I'll be home Mon leave Tuesday night and come back Friday night. Eek that's almost 4 solid days of eating out. I will make wise choices and ask for things done my way. I will be hitting that hotel gym every night I'm there. I'm staying near the airport so I'm doubting food options will be abundant. I just need to make it work. My room isn't confirmed yet but I think it may have a mini fridge. I can use that to my advantage.
I'm perfectly on plan for day 12 and even thought I left work late I still hit the gym for 40min on the treadmill. I was so not feeling like it but I sucked it up.
Just finished dinner and watching Biggest Loser on the pvr. Then it's a hot bath.
Hope your day went well my friends.

The call of the snackapalooza
Hello!
Hope everyone is having a great week. Just got home and I love landing in the dark in Calgary. All the lights are so pretty and they go on forever.
My two days at site went well. Didn't touch a french fry, used 6 flex points on Monday but that's it and I'm under 2pts today (I'm trying not eat 2hrs before bedtime) though I may have a glass of milk. That's 6/35 on day 4 of WW week.
I was sitting at my desk today and I actually felt the snackapalooza vibe kick in. I felt a little different and then there was the instinct to go find food. Well I had a bag of celery sticks next to me so I ate a couple of those and wrote "Discipline above Desire" on the bottom of my tracking page. I'm watching that closely and will be viligent. Day 11 of tracking dang it and I want to make it to Day 14. This has to be the first time I've recognized the urge before actually inhaling something like a chocolate bar.
Water was a little tricky on Monday but I got the 6 glasses in - I normally shoot for 8. Today I'm on target.
I made up a 30min yoga practice to do on Monday as my computer couldn't get an internet connection for me to log in to myyogaonline.com.
I was on the plane thinking do I really want to lug my computer and my gym bag to work tomorrow. I then thought don't be an idiot, you can handle lugging your computer and gym bag to work tomorrow and you haven't done Cardio since Sunday.
If you're interested in the recipes I pictured the other day, I did put the links on the posting the day before or go to www.cookwithcampbells.ca and you'll see it.
Alright my friends I now need to take out the garbage and unpack.
Until tomorrow...hugs!!

Yummy
Alright I'm back. Meals are completed and safely stored in the freezer as individual servings. I had the Mac n'Cheeseburger Casserole for lunch (the round dish), it was yummy. The Chicken/Broccoli casserole looks pretty good and that will be lunch one day this week.
Got a 54min walk in just a wee over 5km. I had to stop and give someone directions which caused a wee delay. Dishes are washed and cab is booked for tomorrow morning, so now all I need to do is have supper, but my clothes away, pack and roll out the yoga mat.
I'm bringing my travel mat to site this week. I'm thinking I'll have to work later tomorrow as I've got loads to do but I'll bring the mat even if all I do is 20min of legs up the wall.
I'm totally on plan for Day 9 in row so far and I'm planning to repeat what I did last week at site.
I made mulitple attempts at a before photo and none turned out well, curious light angles (windows), only getting half of myself, a bit blurry. I'll probably try again next weekend.
Hopefully my camp room's internet connections works this week so I can post tomorrow (couldn't last week) but at any rate I'm sending you all positive vibes.
Take care of yourselves and I'll talk to you later.
Hugs!!!
