Yep, sure is. There's one coming out for the Wii too - I'm going to get it - it's got more gadgets!

Well it didn't work for him to get the Wii, now did it? LOL

No but you know how he is. I'll never hear the end of it...........especially now that I am on my "weight-loss" kick.

You know he wouldn't like Yourself Fitness - it's a girl - and it's a real work out, no games! Mr. M tried it when I first got it, then he gave up on it, said it was too much like exercise. LOL

Now Dance Dance Revolution, I could see Mr. G trying that out.

..................................

On to my own post for the morning. Ugh! I am so disappointed. I guess I'm up another pound this morning. I know I shouldn't fret it, but it will stick here until I get it off. And that means my Sat. weigh-in will be up.

I did come home last night with some "bad" news. Not majorly bad, but disappointing.

And so when I went to get a snack (because I was really hungry), I grabbed two.

Here's how yesterday's meals went:

Breakfast: lite vanilla yogurt w/ high protein cereal and a banana, coffee, lite creamer

Lunch: Leftover chili mac (around 283 cals.) but then I ate tortilla chips with it.

Dinner: deli turky w/ low carb ww tortilla and lettuce and tomato plus a smidgle of mayo and a slice of cheese, a sf butterscotch pudding

Snack: special K bar (90 cals.) and a snack size bag of cheese nips (130 cals.)

My totals were like 1800 - about 400 more than I probably should be eating. :sigh:

HI SweatPea,!
I am sorry to hear about your disappointing night. I don't know how much free time you have on your hand but have you tried to "pre-plan" your food for the day? I find myself going over my calories if I don't have it planned down to the last snack. And by the time I enter it at night, it is already too late to correct... LOL. It helps me to set an amount of calories like 1400, and set up my food for it for the day. And anything I would want to eat above that I would think hard twice before I eat it because I would know it is over my "goal" calories. This pre-planning while it takes time it helps me tremendously in my weight loss efforts.
Just concentrate on one day at a time. And don't let the 1 lb up bring you down... Since there is no way you overate 3500 calories in one day, it is most likely a little more water .... Really just concentrate on the once a week number.
Have a good day!!!

Sorry to hear that your having a rough patch. I agree with Hajini. It's unlikely that it is a true pound. I'll call you later and then we can talk. K?
You know I love ya!
Keep your chin up. Your doing just fine!

Great advice, thanks Hajni!

I agree, dont' let one day/1 pound stand in your way. Keep chuggin in the right direction. We all have to deal with ups n downs- stay focused, girl!

Thanks all for the encouragement.

I did get on the elliptical for 25 min. and the treadmill for 30. My legs are sore from yesterday's workout. Especially the squats - owie!

Thank goodness the boards are back up, I was going stir-crazy! JK!

Well I took the dog for a 6 mile walk which took us 90 min. We both feel pretty beat.

Also, I stepped on the scale before my shower (since I didn't take one until after the long walk and cutting the dog's hair) and my weight was down -- go figure!

I'm going to try a suggestion and keep my cals at a flat number and then go from there. I had been having them fall anywhere between 1400 - 2000.

Way to walk the dog.
Wonder how much weight he lost on the hike!

Yesterday my aim for calories was 1800. However, I ended up eating a little over 2000. I was doing well, but then had to rush out of here to meet with my peeper before a meeting - but then we ended up setting up for the meeting and didn't get to chat before said meeting.

Well that's not an excuse, but I didn't account for my peanut butter and sf jam sandwich and carrots, then when I got to the meeting I was quite hungry. I then ate almost all snacks that were offered. The good thing I did was eat veggies. The bad thing: a piece of apple cake, 2 crackers w/ cheese, 2 grapes (not bad just in the total count), some dip w/ the veggies, and a small cup of nuts w/ a few chocolate chips and m&ms thrown in. I mean like small - maybe 1/4 of a cup if you measured it - but still calories I didn't need!

Today I'm sore and the top of my foot hurts - like there is some bone not wanting to behave or something. I plan on taking it easy and just working out in my landscaping - need to clear things up for fall.

Don't know, but I'm surely sore from it!

Sorry to hear that your foot hurts. I hope it gets better soon.
My abs are still sore form Wednesday! OUCH!

HI SweatPea,
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday!! We are planning to go soon, but the weather is not cooperating.
6 miles walk!!! Wow that is something!!! I am not sure I walked that much at once lately!! LOL
PS: can't trust the weight during the day though. Especially if you are used to looking at it in the mornings. It could be very different.
