Sunday / Monday

I have been DOWN for the count with the flu. I keep thinking that I feel good, but when I start moving around I feel like a train runs over me and I end back in bed. I have been pretty good with my points, but tonight I got fed UP with eating muffins and bagels and soup and send my hubby after some Taco Casa. I will say that the plus to being sick is that this morning I weight 148.6. Today happened to be my weigh in day for WW so Horray for me! I started WW last year about this time and my weight was 169! So in exactly one year I have lost 21 pounds! Here's to at least 10 more!

Lunch: bagelthin and bowl of tomato basil soup (9)

Now that I am feeling better, I need to hop back in the saddle.

I flipping LOVE the chicken Alfredo there.

Measurements and before photos

So, my hubby and I couldn't find our cloth measuring tape, so we had to settle for a piece of ribbon and our hard measuring tape... you know those metal kind.... I can't think of the right word. So, they are only kinda accurate.
Left Arm: 12 inches
Right Arm: 12 in.
Left Thigh: 21.75 in
Right Thigh: 22.5 in

I am totally awkward.

Power of One... A new ME

Hello out there!
I usually don't make resolutions because well, I pretty much never keep them. But this year I want to get healthy. General, I know.... but seriously I want to be a good role model for my kiddos and I want to outshine my super hot husband.
SOOOOO.... I came across this online community when I was googling ways to help me on this little journey called the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans (PS - Still love the Traveling Pants movie.... awesome.). The first challenge this year, which I am a few days late for is called the Power of One.

So the first items of business are my healthy living goals (read: resolutions... but not)
1: lose 15 pounds. I know, so un-original... but it would put me back at the weight I was when I got married and seriously, we all want to be that weight again.
2. Log at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. Zumba, jogging
3. Run a 5K while keeping up with my husband the whole way.
4. Cut back on the Diet Pepsi - please note that I didn't say quit.

Starting weight: 153

Measurements and pictures will be posted tomorrow.... You know you wouldn't want to miss that (insert: sarcasm)
