Grocery shopping

In the past, I would always have an item or two in my grocery cart that I would feel guilty for buying (Darn those Zingers!). This last shopping trip, I felt healthier just looking at all the yummy healthy foods! This game has opened my eyes to a lot of new, healthy eating options! Thanks for the great game so far everyone!

Ode to Team Utah

I like to thank Team Utah for their success of Week One.
Without the motivation, its not as much fun.
We are halfway through week three and I've already spent
My day off; I look at the rest of the week with discouragement.

I will stay away from the ice cream for my other teammates
I don't want to share the declaration of shame, on my tailgate!
In the book it warned week three can be trying
If I said any different I would be lying.

So bring on the smack, I could use the fun
Daylemarie I have been waiting to see a new one!

Go Team Henderson!

Why I Want to Lose Weight

I am no stranger to curves-I've never been a skinny girl-but since my fourth baby came ten months ago, my formerly hour glass shape is more like a beehive. None of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit so my wardrobe consists of elastic waist workout pants, t-shirts, and the cutest maternity clothes I have. In addition, I have noticed other ailments that I did not have before my body decided to be BFF with this weight: plantar fascitis (I think since my heels are in pain everyday), snoring (which causes my husband to wake me up several times at night), and I sweat more (gross!) I'm not trying to be a size 2, but getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight would be nice, and being healthier is always a good idea.  So the battle of the bulge rages on. . .

Rough Week

Sorry Team Utah! I didn't do as well this week. However, I'm feeling recommited. I need to make a couple of changes, that I'm publicly listing here:

1. Get junk food out of the house. The first week I didn't have any around, but this time we had too many tempting things looking at me from the cupboards and freezer.

2. Stop exercising with my kids on their bikes. My little girl on training wheels is too slow, bless her heart.

3. Don't let the day and meal off ruin everything else I've done. Quality not quantity!

Sorry I was using Microsoft excel to add up the points and it led me astray!! I will let Natalie do the figuring from here on out!!

Is cocoa powder allowed-I couldn't find it on the list of things to eat but I know that is not all inclusive?
