New Scale

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer| Weigh ins

So I got my new scale last night, I even got my husband to go a little bit higher and spend a little more than 20 bucks on one.  It’s one of those pretty glass ones and I really like the way it looks.  My old scale had a feature where it would send a [...]

126 pounds?!!?

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer

So I’ve needed to change the battery in my scale since, well, practically since I started this.  It was already a couple years old and had sat under the sink with a bag of fish tank rocks on it before I finally got the gumption to do this thing.  I’m a procrastinator, I always have [...]

Chia Seeds

Posted by: meowmix In: Recipes/Food

Yep I’m talking “chi chi chi chia!”  Did you know that eating your Chia pet is super good for you?  I just discovered chia seeds and I’m shocked how good these little seeds are for you. 
2 tablespoons of Chia seeds =7 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, 205 milligrams of calcium and 5 [...]

Size 7?!?! You have to be kidding me!

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer

So I know sizes have gone up just in the past few years.  Meaning a size 11 in my day (haha, that makes me sound sooo old!) is more like a size 9 by today’s standards maybe?  It’s hard to tell just how much they’ve changed but today I think I found out.
I’ve been curious [...]

Just Livin

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer

So toward the end of the day yesterday I started to feel pretty crummy so today I did a lighter workout.  I don’t feel bad enough to do nothing but I don’t feel up to 30DS standards so I just did my elliptical and yoga, I’ll save the 30DS for when I’m feeling better.
My yoga [...]

01/22/10 Weigh in

Posted by: meowmix In: Weigh ins

It’s weigh day, today’s magic number is . . .
139.5
1 pound down from last week.  Not exactly the number I wanted to see but since it was just enough to bring into the 130’s and in my home stretch, I’m happy with it!  So without further ado, I say goodbye to you 140’s, you were [...]

Chubby Fingers!

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer

So today while eating my yummy low calorie chicken burrito I whipped up for lunch I happened to glace down at my hands and my fingers looked so small to me!  I’m one of those people who even when I’m tiny my fingers stay pretty chubby since they’re short so they aren’t really THAT small [...]

Sit ups

Posted by: meowmix In: One day closer

I have something new to work up too.  Sit ups!  Not crunches but full sit ups.  I have NEVER been able to do these and since crunches became popular they never really crossed my mind but level 3 of the 30 Day Shred has them and I simply SUCK at them.  I have to stick [...]
