Much needed girls night out!

So, I am very excited about my girls night tonight! It has been a very busy week and a nice way to end it! I have had a good week foodwise. Stayed on program for the week and have some extra points to use tonight to get popcorn at the movies! We are going to see Taking of Pelham 123. I love John Travolta and glad there is finally a new movie with him in it! (besides voices - Bolt). Tomorrow is my weigh in and I know this has been a good week with about a 4 lbs loss. Which is great...nice dent in my 20lbs that I want to lose. That much closer to my goal!! My exercise has been ok this week. Could have gotten more points (13 as of right now). But, I am not going to feel bad because I did get more than I have been the past few weeks.

My debate is cutting my hair. It has been long for as long as I can remember and I am scared to cut it!!! But, I think cutting it will help me move forward to the image of myself that I want. I think I will book a consult with my salon and see what they say! My hair is very thick, is partly curly (underneath is wavy, top is straight). So, I fear that if I cut it short it will be puffy and big!! But I guess with the tools and gels that are out there these days...I can control that. Just scared to make that change cause if I don't like it, I have to deal with it while it grows out again!!! Guess I just have to do it!!! Won't know till I do!!! Most people I consult say to cut it. It goes past my mid-back area...so quite long!! 

Anyway, going to have fresh fish that husband caught on his trip up to Thunder Bay... Mmm. We don't have fish very often so it's a nice treat when we do. My son loves fish!! We should have it more often!

Well, I will give you guys a review of the movie tomorrow..hoping it is a good one!

Almost the weekend!

Hey there...Well, lastnight I started getting those evening cravings...and I had a bowl of broken up chocolate sitting on the counter...mistake... I started picking at it, then I had it on the couch with me...then I realized what I was doing and put it away...!! So, I had 2 waffles instead... I am still ok for points... Just don't want to do that on a regular basis.

So, this morning I have my son (who is 20 months) and am watching a friends son (who is also 20 months). They play well together and have been buddies since they were 3 weeks old. Usually I have 3 toddlers running around but today I have 2 till the afternoon. So, my son actually let me sleep in till 7:30 this morning which was great! 

I am finding that if I have my morning tea before I eat... I not as hungry. So, this helps me keep my breakfast points to about 3 or 4. I like to save points for later in the day when I know I have a harder time.  Today's breakfast is Red River cereal and an apple. Feeling full already and not even finished!

Anyway, I am going to try to get on the treadmill again today while the kids sleep. I did my run yesterday for 25 minutes. Not the full 5km but at least I got on it! I have a week and a half till the 5km run and want to be a little more prepared for it. I have a hard time running in this warmer weather as I just started running last October through the winter. So my body needs to adjust. 

Well, enough for now. I need to go and get this day started!

This is Me...

Well, here I go again...for the final time. I am doing it this time. 20 lbs to go and I need to focus this time. I am losing the weight with Weight Watchers Online and started back on Program on Sunday June 7th. Today is Wednesday and the scale says that I am down 3 lbs already. Feeling good about that. Just need to keep it up. The kids are down for their nap and I am dressed, ready to go for a run on the treadmill. I have my 4th 5km run on Father's day and I haven't ran in a few weeks. So, I really need to get a few runs in before the 21st. So, I guess I should stop writing for now and go do it...before my time runs out and one of the kids wake up!!

More to come.
