Whew...what a busy day. And before I even begin, I did lots for myself today!
It started with taking care of myself in terms of waking up early enough to head to my weight watcher meeting. I had three clocks set! (myold alarm clock, a substitute and my phone). I woke up and headed out to my Weight Watcher meeting, out the door by 6:15AM. I lost 1.8 pounds. I'll take it. It's a loss. But it just burns me up. I gained more than that last week...so I'm still behind!!! But hey, it's a loss!!
I left my meeting and went down to the City Market and saw my mom while she sat at her booth. After visiting with her I headed to the gym. (the second thing for me!) I did 1 hour of cardio and then 30 minutes of weights. My mantra of "exercise does not hurt as bad as being fat hurts" really worked. I kept saying that to myself when I wanted to stop!
I left the gym and hit up two stores and then treated myself to lunch. This would be the third thing for myself as I'm usually too cheap to go out on my own (I'd rather save my money to go out to eat with loved ones) But I treated myself today. After lunch, I headed to more stores...and finally got home at about 4PM. I got my groceries put away...and had a few minutes to spare before making dinner. TOnight I made todd's favorite dish...Cajun Seafood Pasta. I had buttered noodles and veggies. For dessert I made Caramalized bananas......I watched the food network while I was on the elliptical today...and this was a recipe that sounded really good to me. So I made it. It was very good!
After dinner I grabbed my camera and headed out the door. Just a short drive through the battlefield, but if felt good!
Of course the lights in the house were turned off at 8:30 for Earth Hour. :-)
Now I'm just relaxing......
Soooooo is it bad that I watched the Food Network while working out....and actually made a recipe that I gathered while working out???????

Good for you on taking care of you!!
Hey, a loss is a loss take it and run :)
Lol, I watch Food Network at the gym quite often. I'm glad you took some time for yourself today!
I gave you an award on my blog tonight. :)
Congrats on the loss!
1.8 is a great loss & you're heading back down. So, despite last week, I say you're ahead of the game. It may sound crazy to you, but it's my logic and it has served me well ;) Always (try to) focus on the positive.
Before you commented about watching the food channel while working out, I actually laughed about it. That is some kind of torture...working out AND watching the food channel. Hilarious!! REally....you crack my UP!!
When I find myself watching the food channel, I switch it off....it's so much agony.
