Hi BSers. You know what? The scale says I am One Hundred and 47 pounds today. I do not know WHEN I have been this low but I think it has been at least a year. I am not going to Update my official weight until this weekend, but I am ahead of my goals and feeling good.

I am even wearing my “smaller fit” uniform pants today and they are still snug, but I can fit into them.

Okay so my tip for the day is this : if you have some exercise equipment like a treadmill, a bike, or in my case my trusty Gazelle and you REALLY don’t feel like working out… tell yourself if you work out for just 15 minutes…. about a mile or 100 calories burned… you can have a little treat.

Now the treat has to be something that IS GOOD but also less calories than 100. For me I use “No Sugar Added” Fudgesicles. I usually have one after my first mile but I am eating eat while working on my second. Even if I eat two or three I am only taking in 70-120 calories but two miles will burn about 200 calories.

 My point is, be kind to yourself and compromise…. give yourself some indulgences but don’t over indulge. You can’t really sit there and burn off a bucket of fried chicken in just half an hour but a sweet little sugar free fudgesicle will lick a chocolate craving… PLUS it has calcium and fiber!

Have a great Monday!

I didn’t sleep very well last night… I think I took a nap from about 7pm to 8:30pm, watched a little TV, then fell back asleep. Anyways… I got up at about 3:30am. I am on Dayshift this week. Perhaps tonight I will be so tired I will fall asleep easily at 8 or 9pm. But then again, I think I want to watch Monday Night Raw on cable.

 Yeah I kind of like “pro” wrestling. so what?

When I said I was going to try aND visit 10 BS Blogs per day, that wasn’t meant as a limit… that was a MINIMUM because usually I visit NONE. I’ve been so busy lately it just has not been a priority.

I’m feeling good and Gazelle-ing and doing my Leslie Sansone DVDs and this week I am going to do my strength and resistance training via Power 90 Sculpt! DVD and I’ll let you know how that goes.

Oh for you British folks and the ones who get BBC America on cable like I do now, have you ever seen the show “You Are What You Eat?” It is GREAT. Absolutely hilarious. That lady really pulls no punches.
