mostly on track for now
this weekend i took the hippie on a date, which involved dinner out of course. then we ended up eating lunch and dinner both out on sunday. other than that, we have been eating at home. i actually think this is pretty good. we are choosing places to go that have good quality food and reasonable portions, and only eating out a few times a week, mostly on the weekend, rather than eating out every other meal. this is definitely progress.
i am also getting a little better about planning and sticking to my plan. in the middle of a very busy weekend, we still managed to get to the grocery store on sunday so that we had the things we needed to eat at home. i am alternating breakfasts between egg ones and oatmeal ones. yesterday was eggs over easy with canadian bacon and a slice of whole wheat toast and a small glass of low-sodium V8, and today was oatmeal with half a a teaspoon of sugar, some cinnamon, half a banana, and some 1% milk. i have been making us sandwiches for lunch and packing them with some fruit. i need to start adding some nuts for the hippie so he gets more protein. then last night i made baked sweet potatoes, a small piece of maarinated, grilled sirloin, and some french beans sauteed with onion slivers in ginger oil with a little cumin thrown in for good measure. i admit i had some chocolate ice cream for dessert, but only a little bit. i am bleeding like a stuck pig, so i am cutting myself some slack on that.
yesterday, i also went to target and bought myself a pilates mat and a new DVD. i tried a pilates class at my gym a while back and liked it, but unfortunately, the only time they have it is at times when it's almost impossible for me to go. so i figure i will try it at home. i did the basic step-by-step workout last night in my living room floor, and it was actually really good. i am so weak, it's not even funny. but then--i guess that's why i need it, right? and i am going to try to make a couple of step classes at another location of my gym this week, too. i'll keep you posted.
oh, and yay for my friend kristin, who has joined weight watchers with a couple of her friends--go kristin!!!

hey there - i was on kristin's blog and linked to yours. still can't remember my username/password. anyhow, sounds like you are doing good towards a healthy new year. scott and i are trying to do better (especially scott) - i can't say i'm trying as hard. we went kinda hog wild from november on, with the move and holidays and such, and now it's wake-up call. for me, of course, i'm growing whether i want to or not! but, i can be eating healthier, and we finally joined a gym this weekend. i'm getting ready to head up there at 4. i may be pregnant, but i don't need to be as "squishy" as i am now!!!! now, cooking, that's another story - we haven't yet reached a level of normalcy in our new home that i'm cooking each night, but my goal for next week is to start preparing more meals at home - we shall see how that goes! take care, and good luck! kimmie
