Come visit me at Girly Bitz. It's my other interweb hangout.

Weigh in. Schmeigh in.

It was supposed to be weigh in day yesterday, but I missed it because I was out having fun. I was going to weigh in today, but I just haven't done it yet.

Honestly? I don't really feel like facing the scale this week. It's not that I think I gained. I actually think I'm down at least a pound. I just don't feel like weighing in.

It's weird how that happens some weeks. Things have been going well. My eating has been good this weekend, although I haven't had a chance to stop by and post my eats. My exercise was pretty good. I took advantage of the weather and walked three days last week. Then, it snowed and got super cold again. Boo.

So, I apologize if my not weighing in ruffles anyone's feathers. Yes, this is still my fat fighting blog. Yes, I'm still committed to releasing my inner skinny. Yes, I'm still struggling with all of that.

Moving on, my goals for the coming week are the same as they always are. I plan to stick to healthy meals and stay within my points. I plan to walk at least three days outside (weather permitting). I plan to do at least two days of Slim in 6. MB and I also plan to restart the Couch to 5K either this week or Monday. It depends on our schedules and when we can plan time to run together.

I'm feeling good about things and I know I will have a good week.

So, how are you doing?

Eats for Friday 2/18/11

My eating was weird for Friday due to the sudden onset of what I like to call The Bubble.
(dun...dun...DUN)

The Bubble is this evil thing that happens in my belly every now and then. It feels like someone has taken a bicycle pump and just keeps inflating my innards until I feel like I'm going to pop. My belly looks and feels like there is a giant beach ball full of lead in there.

Hotness.

Nothing moves (you know what I'm talking about) so I can't get any relief. Things don't typically move for a day or two after it hits.

Again with the hotness. Can you stand it?

When it happens, it hurts like hell. I can't walk upright. I can't move all that well or fast. I get all sweaty and clammy. And I can't eat.
Why would I want to cram anything down my throat and make The Bubble angry?

Sheesh.

So, that hit me around lunchtime and I wasn't able to eat anything until dinner time. I was able to go for a walk, which was nice. The Bubble let up just enough so I could move and not look like a woman in labor trying to get herself to the hospital via one very muddy sled dog minus the sled and the snow.

Anyone heard of such a thing? Please diagnose me. I welcome your medical expertise.

Eats for Thursday 2/17/11

The Sickness has left me and it was gorgeous out today. Skye girl and I decided to hit the trail.
Well, I decided and forced her to get in the jeep, which she hates. It involves a step stool and some lifting and a lot of canine anxiety.
Anyway, I was surprised to find the trail with so much snow and ice left over.

Skye girl didn't mind. She was having a blast. She also seemed to enjoy all the mud puddles she found along the way. That dog just loves getting dirty! She's such a redneck princess!


I got quite a workout trudging through all that slush for an hour. :)
