Weekend Update

Apparently, I need some serious work on my weekend activities if I am gonna be PHAT someday!!! Here are some of the things I learned this weekend.

1. Yoplait Whips Dolce de Leche yogurt is good for you; as long as you don't eat 4 of them in one day!!

2. Apparently, my lazy butt moves around far more at work than at home. Saturday, I only logged 3669 steps!! And I walked the dogs, did dishes, folded laundry. I gotta figure out where to locate about 3500 more steps on the weekends!!

3. A buffet around a BBQ grill is still a buffet and should be treated as such. A friend of my parents came in from New Mexico and he prepared the most wonderful meal on the grill including some authentic Mexican dishes that were absolutely delightful!! Everything was grilled and no fat was added but he started at 1 and we were still eating at 4!!! It was so good! Corn on the cob, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, rib eye steaks, tortillas, goat cheese.... I get full again just thinking about it!! I have no idea how much I ate, but I am certain that it was too much!

4. You can't log your steps without wearing your pedometer. I kept my little nephew overnight Saturday, and I forgot all about my pedometer until Sunday evening! So, as "punishment", and a reminder to put it on in the mornings, I only logged the 2007 steps I managed to count officially. I know there were many more that I missed that morning but I can't be sure how many so, I will keep myself honest and only include the ones I can account for.

5. Jalapenos, coffee, and roughage DO NOT MIX!! I am not feeling so good in my lower stomach region, if you know what I mean!!!

Otherwise, I had a great weekend of fellowship with family and friends.

Perhaps we were seperated at birth! I love West Side Story! Not enough people in today's world appreciate the movie musical...What's wrong with all of them. When I saw Dreamgirls, one of my friends brought her husband. He only came, because he didn't know what the movie was about. Everytime someone would start singing, he would sigh. It was quite funny. Have a great day!

Yes, I am doing Couch to 5K and I love it. At first I was a little concerned because I started it when I was around 270. I just made sure I had the right shoes, and I run on a treadmill. (which helps absorbs some of the shock) Eventually I will make my way outside. The program really works. I remember week one when I was running for 1 minute, and dying! It's been amazing to watch my stamina grow. I've got a link to the program on my blog, you should check it out.

Glad to hear you had a great weekend! I just love spending time with my nephew too and I'm sure you burned a ton of calories just chasing him around! I didn't do too well with my steps either and also need to find ways to get more steps in, maybe I'll try shopping next weekend! ;)

You certianly did learn a few lessons, huh? I don't blame you for only counting the ones you recorded on the pedometer. Hopefully you will remember to wear it from now on!
