I did a lot of cooking today. I made some DELICIOUS Portuguese Kale Soup (recipe below) and some Chewy Low-fat Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies (recipe also below). We were supposed to go to a friend's house for dinner tomorrow night, and it's my job to bring the dessert since I'm all Weight Watchery and stuff.... Well, right after I put the cookies in the oven I got a call that her oldest son is SICK so we won't be going over there tomorrow night. So, now I have two sheets of COOKIES staring at me! And DAMN - THEY ARE SO GOOD!!!!!! Three points each. I ate 3. That makes 9 points. Must go to Zumba..... :)
Speaking of Zumba (I know - I know... I'm obsessed!!!!) I went today and had a GREAT and VERY sweaty workout! Nakeeya's class on Saturday mornings absolutely KICKS MY BUTT!!!!! And it's so much fun! I'm already starting to think about what moves I'll be busting in my Zumba classes - it's gonna' be FUN! :) Lots of booty shaking! :)
I started a challenge a few weeks ago to lose 2 lbs a week for 7 weeks - a total of 14 lbs. I lost 3 lbs the first week and NONE this week. :( So, today's weight was 151.8. With the crappy eating I did last week I didn't DESERVE to lose any weight - and I'm glad I didn't! If I had lost weight I would have happily kept on eating like a HOG and gained weight next week. I do NOT want to gain! I'm SO CLOSE to being in the 140s!!!!! I just want to get there so badly, but I keep sabotaging myself with bad food choices. What is WRONG with me?!?!?! Am I afraid to succeed? I don't think so, but perhaps I should put a little more thought into that one.....
I DO know that I don't want to be fat anymore. I really wish that I had all of the time in the world to just work on ME! Once I'm at the gym I usually want to stay longer, but there is always something competing for my time. I know that is a horrible excuse - but that's what happens! I've got so many people that NEED me all the time..... So, how to I solve this?
Today I just said - I've GOT to go to the gym. I've GOT to get my Zumba on. I've GOT to exercise. I asked for help with the boys & I went. I was so happy that I did. I felt great! (Tired, but great!!!!) There is something so affirming about doing something for yourself. I'm going to be making maple syrup tomorrow (perhaps even doing more tapping which means a hike up a hill!), then I'll get to the gym on Monday since I just found out I don't have to work. I will work on MYSELF! :)
Have a great night and I hope you're trying my recipes. Can someone PLEASE tell me if they're actually cooking any of these? They're such a pain to load - if no one is cooking them I'll just TELL you about them instead of posting them!!!! :)
