Off my butt!

Well after that last blog I had talked myself into going for a walk……..and actually the drizzling rain was very refreshing…only walked for 30 minutes because it’s been a few days..about 5 minutes into my walk I got a stitch in my side….I hate those annoying pains! I refused to turn around and go back and forced myself to keep walking…Eating a yummy pear now!!!!

I’m SO not used to being hit on by guys or getting attention but now when I’m out walking I am getting a few heads turning..lol…I don’t walk to work anymore at 7 am because one morning a guy yelled something out to me and some other guy beeped……like i’m not strutting it or something or doing anything to get this attention…so after that morning and the next morning a girl was attacked in her apt building by two men…(which is literally 5 mins from my house ) I have opted out of walking to work so early….even though I loved it because it totally relaxed me before I got to work. But it’s crazy now that I have guys hitting on me and yes in a way it feels good but in another way it’s annoying and i’m just not used to it…I just want to walk or have a good time out with my friends! arghhh

Had a good weekend!

Went out with some friends last night and had a total blast……..Danced for about 2 hours straight!!!!!!!! If i sit at a club I’ll just be ready to fall asleep! Went to my best friend’s house before we went downtown and I had saved a lot of points for drinks/snacks………I was so happy to see that she had strawberries and a yogurt dip prepared…….carrots and whole wheat baguette with spinach dip and multigrain Tostitos and some nacho dip thingy..(that I only had a few of). We got home at 3:30 am after a really good time!

So I woke up this morning and decided to weigh myself………….151.5! How is it possible to be down 1.5 lbs in 2 days????? THAT’S LIKE 1.5 LBS FROM MY GOAL……I am wondering if i was retaining water on Friday ( my weigh in day ) because Thursday I was 152………..very odd and SOOOO  frustrating! I’m so close to 150 I can taste it! lol

Well the weather is all yucky (fog and drizzle rain) here lately and it feels like its been FOREVER since I went for a walk!  I know I shouldn’t let this stop me and really should be walking no matter what……….someone give me a good kick please? I need a walking buddy so badly…….it’s so easy to say no when it’s just myself :-(…And I have a Tony Little Gazelle in the living room and a taebo video..so really there is NO excuse for this laziness that’s occuring!

I am wondering what I’d do without Extreme Pita ( a local pita restaurant…I’ve had it twice this week).A regular grilled chicken pita w/out cheese is only 5 pts…………………and with a tiny bit of light mayo or whatever i get on it I just add an extra point….chicken, mushrooms,onions, green peppers on the grill then put in a whole wheat pita with TONS of veggies………..it’s my absolute favourite!

I’m also obsessed with anything in 90-100 calorie packs…….I LOVE those Quaker Drizzle snacks for only 90 calories. For anyone who is having a chocolate craving I suggest a Hershey 60 calorie chocolate stick ( they come in a box of 9 and only 1 point each!) There are different kinds ( mint, milk chocolate, dark, and caramel………mint is my fave!) I buy them at Walmart for only 1.77 a box! I usually have one of these EVERY night for dessert..LOL.

Anyways I kinda went on and on here tonight……….I hope you all don’t mind!

Have a great week!
