Yesterday was another good day for me, I think I may be on a roll!
The only real mistake I made was not having breakfast first thing in the morning. I left to drop off Matthew at school and then went straight to the grocery store, normally this would have been a BIG mistake, but guess what goes off at 9am...that's right my alarm to tell me to read my response cards!
Right when I came home even before putting the groceries away I threw a piece of toast in the toaster, did a drive by spread of peanut butter and sat down at the kitchen table and ate my toast.. and when I was done I gave myself credit for it.
Later in the day I ate dinner, put the kids to bed and immediately changed into my work out gear. I give myself credit for that too it was 8pm and I was just heading downstairs to do my workout.
I opted to skip the treadmill and do some weight loss Yoga instead. I got in 30 minutes and then finished off with some deep breathing and relaxation, it was exactly what I needed.
All my sore muscles feel so much better properly stretched. It was a nice change from running on that treadmill which I still have mixed feelings about, ok I admit it I HATE RUNNING ON A TREADMILL! But you know what I just keep saying "suck it up princess you have a half marathon to run in May and it's minus a million outside!" and some how that gets me through! (I may be a little mean to myself sometimes but hey I'm working on it!)
Speaking of minus a million I hear word that we are FINALLY suppose to warm up this weekend and get into the plus temperatures, you don't even know how much this EXCITES me! Someone may need to call a search party because once I can start running outside again, I may never come back :-)
Ok I leave you with one last thing, I came across these at the grocery store and for 2 CUPS AND 86 CALORIES I had to tell you about it!
They are called CheeCha puffs. They are really light and very crispy and are so much more fun to eat then a potato chip which we all know I CANT BE WITH 1 Foot of without gaining back all the weight I lost :-)
Anyways they come in a variety of flavours, just like normal potato chips, salt and vinegar, cheddar, ketchup etc etc etc. Like I said they are very good and very light tasting and you can eat TWO CUPS for a small 86 calorie penalty :-) If you can find them I would recommend buying them!
Hope everyone has a great weekend, I have NOTHING planned except to run away and not come back!!!

you on the roll!!!!
the new year roll for sure. so inspiring, I want to jump up and join you...actually after reading this I walked up to Hubby who was getting dressed for gym and said * I think I want to join you today * he looked at me and said * no rush, no rush * give yourself a little more time off...and then I had to agree...but will do something around the house instead, walk the stairs, swing my legs - squats..LOL, see what your entries do to me!!!
You inspire.
We in for a heavy storm this weekend, it hit the UK last week and this weekend due to come over to Germany...its okay as I have nothing to do but hang around...Monday is going to be my day..
Today has been an emotional one for me, cry at a drop of a hat...dropped muesli all over the floor and cried..
Yay for being on a roll! :) Those crisp things look fantastic!
You are on a roll!
Hope you get your run in this weekend!!
♥
I can't wait to be able to run outside again too...Ontario is calling for temps in the postive next week!
Whoo Hoooo!!
Have a fantastic weekend!---Keep on rolling :)
You had a great day! :) Those snacks look interesting! :)
Ketchup chips - that's so funny! We don't have them here but someone from Canada brings them for a family friend and I had a chance to try them. Very interesting!
Good job getting your booty into work-out clothes are the kids went to bed. Very impressive!
Minus a million...I feel ya girl. I'm screaming for a little sunshine here! I may need to steal one of the animals' UV lamps to cure the winter blues lol.
Where'd you find the little chippy thingies?
Not only are you rolling you'll be running too - outside! Ya you. I just don't do the outside runs with as much excitement as I do the treadmill. I may revisit my thinking this spring (warm spring time) when I do hit the pavement. I'll try and keep an open mind once I do finally hit the street.
WAY TO GO, Syl!!! Love your energy.
I should also run outdoors this weekend. Maybe I'll try your self-lecture strategy.
Oooh those do look yummy! I'll definitely be looking for them the next time I'm at the store!

Link to Tosca's website. Have fun!
A side note, I think Tosca and Marcelle look alike. Do you agree?
You might have to run with galoshes on - it's going to be very mucky out there - but what a relief to have it finally warm up.
You are on a fantastic roll - keep up the excellent roll.
I'm soo happy you're back on track and making stuff work for you!!! I am going to have to find "something" to do tonight. I'd normally come home and do some Wii fun, but hubby has the 'boy's' over tonight...so maybe a watp dvd in my own room....
I most certainly will not be trading places with you. I wouldn't do that to your little angels. They deserve so much better. :)
Good for you for doing the run at 8:00pm. Amazing.
I've had those Cheecha snacks. They are yummy.
I do hope so much for you that you can go run outside this weekend!
As Holland is between the UK and Germany the storm is supposed to hit Holland before it gets to Germany :lol: But I hope it will pass our town. Wednesday a part of the country had heavy snow but we had nothing.
I wnat to go running on Sunday and want to do that outside because like you I hade the treadmill. But I told myself that if there is snow and it's to cold I have to go to the gym and run on the boring treadmill.
You've had a great day Syl and you deserve every credit for that!
xxx
Oh and by the way: don't you dare not coming back unless you run till you can't go further, take a boat and run further to Holland.
I can't miss your inspiration and motivation :)
Ok, I'm going to be thinking of you tomorrow when I do my 10 mile run outside. I'm complaining about low 40s. You are outside in single digits, you rockstar.
Great start to 2010. You have to reward yourself for those small things or they slide to the background soo easily.
Keep it up girl!
