A.M. weigh-in: 151.0 (I can literally see the 140s just around the corner!)
Lately I’ve been eating 2-3 meals a day with a snack. Or I’ve been eating Weight Watcher 1 point mini bars ALL DAY (I think I ate 10 of them yesterday!) This is not effective for me, even if the daily total points are correct. My body functions more efficiently if I eat 6 mini meals a day, spaced out every couple of hours. It keeps my metabolism stoked and my blood sugar level. I just flat out FEEL better and there’s the added bonus of never being hungry cause I’m basically always eating. This is how I’ve lost weight in the past. It works for me.
Going to the gym is great. I’ve got a routine down and I look forward to going everyday. I’m a bit sore, which is good. It means that I’m doing something! I should start seeing some results in another month or two. I would really love to have some arm definition. That is my number one goal.
But going to the gym for 45 min to an hour everyday isn’t quite cutting it. My body is used to a harder workout schedule. And I’m not seeing the weight loss results that I would like. So I’m back to 45 minutes on my elliptical in the morning. No more staying up til midnite surfing the web so I’m too groggy to get up in the morning until I absolutely have to. I used to love my morning time - it was my “me” time. And I feel so much more organized and in control of the day when I can operate at a leisurely pace instead of running around like a frantic freak trying to get everything done before I rush out the door, late as usual.
So, that’s the plan.

Decided to springify the page. Much better!!
I’m headed off to the MRI for my knee. Fingers crossed that I get approved for surgery QUICKLY!! And that it doesn’t interfere with my summer plans!
UPDATE 9:13 PM
I am EXHAUSTED!!! I did an hour at the gym right before my hour Tae Kwon Do class. OMG! The class has one man in his late 40s and the rest are kids in their teens (and a couple of black belt 11 year olds.) I am SORE. I feel old… and I need to remember to wear bladder control protection from now on!
Currently watching Yes Man for the umpteenth time - this movie was life-changing for me. I’ve heard it called recycled Liar Liar, that it’s not even Jim Carrey’s best work (and it probably isn’t.) But it’s the message of the movie that really resonates with me. Say YES to life! Embrace it! Don’t be afraid to really LIVE! That’s why I said YES to the Tae Kwon Do class. This is WAY outside my comfort zone, totally intimidating, and potentially really embarrassing. But I’m doing it - and I’m LOVING it!

I am finding that the whole weights routine is time consuming! It takes me at least 40 minutes if not closer to an hour to get through 7-10 stations. I do upper body one day and lower the next. Then I do cardio for 30 minutes and by then, my child watch time limit is almost up. I need more cardio.
Good luck with your knee!
There are several advantages to shopping online, the first one being the ability to shop at a time that is convenient to you, not just when the shops are open. The second advantage of shopping online is that goods are often cheaper as the seller does not have the costs of running a shop and having to pay wages to salespeople, insurance and all of the other running costs of a real world business.
