Unmotivated

I have been so unmotivated lately. I'm just not in the exercise or "pay attention to what I eat" mode.

Going over my day here is what I ate:

Breakfast - 2 string cheese pieces, small can of V-8
2.5 Coffees with slenda and 15 cal creamers in each

snack - 1 peanut butter cookie (our Boss's Day present to our Boss)

lunch - Butternut squash lean cuisine

more cookies - 3 more to be exact

Dinner - pecan crusted chicken breast, yukon mashed potatoes, green beans

post dinner snack - chips and salsa

halloween pack of peanut M&M's

So not the meal plan of a person paying attention to what they are eating.

I have been putting it off to, "Oh, I'm nursing, can't restrict my calories too much"...yeah right, cookies are essential to nursing mothers.

I peeked at the Weight Watchers website the other night. I am thinking about it. I know I will have to be ready mentally or it will be a complete waste of my time and money.

just putting it all out there..

Challenges

I am loving the weekly and daily challenges that have been suggested on other blogs. Summer at Something to chew on is making daily challenges and Lyn at Escape from Obesity is making weekly changes.

They have some great ideas of added some healty changes to your day. I think this week I will focus on the one they have in common...drink more water. Since staying at home, I think my water intake has slowed down. I am off routine and I will make an effort to get more water in my day.

Yesterday was a good food day for me. I started with a smoothie at 9am, then a Nutty Mixed up Salad from Jason's Deli at 12:30. It was so good!!

Then I had an afternoon snack of a Grande Non-fat Vanilla Latter from SB's.

It was leftover night at our house for dinner. For me this meant chicken, spinach, & Orzo soup that a neighbor made and some black bean, corn dip with some chips.

I had a bag of Annie's cheese bunnies as an evening snack.

Then we went for a 2.5 mile walk to Starbucks, where hubby bought me a green tea.

That is the best day I have had in a long time.

Checking in

I have already fallen off the wagon so to speak. This getting back to healthy habits is going to be a lot harder than I thought. There have been some low points in the last week or so since I last posted.

Low points are:
I have been eating candy..sneaking it actually. I say sneaking because I am doing purposely when hubby isn't at home.
Not cutting back when i go out to eat.
And going out to eat too often
This weeks weight is 196.8 (yuck)

High points are:
I bought the Biggest loser DVD and worked out to it twice since getting it last week.
I went on a LONG walk with the family on Saturday and Sunday.
We even kicked the soccer ball around the park on Sunday.
