Low Carb

It's amazing how creative I become when doing a low-carb diet. Instead of settling for a hamburger patty topped with cheese, a masterpiece was created. Well, maybe not a 'masterpiece' but something yummy. Keep in mind that the fridge and pantry are always empty as well.

Dish name: "Thank God I'm Not Watching My Calories"

Ingredients: Scrambled hamburger meat, veg-all (however much you like), slices of onion, chili powder, salt, pepper, sour cream, topped with cheese!

My sickness symptoms has now moved in my respirtory system. It's not real bad - but I can tell it's there. Nothing Mucinex isn't helping with. So, going to the track tonight was out of the question. Plus it's entirely too hot outside. Instead, I am going to clean house, begin packing for this weekend, research student loans, and go to bed early. Hey, at least I'm still being productive.

Update on the Bigest Loser Contest: Wednesday will be the official weight in - but so far I've only lost 1lb. Puft. That stinks!

Back to the Track

i'm exercising by crackie. by myself or with others...i don't care. my weight is steadily creeping back up to where i started this past Christmas. i would expect it too because i haven't been working out or exercising in a month. i went yesterday by myself and will again today too. my goal is to jog at least half a mile (total) and walk about a mile and a half. it also makes me sleep better, get up earlier, and feel better during the day. i have been so blah and groggy lately and i know that is the reason why. no more i say....no more!

Annette (a lady i work with) and i are going to start a belly dancing class week after next. i have always wanted to because it will be a unique experience (and help with my scandalous dance moves)! I am really excited and can't wait to see how it goes! it is once a week - sunday afternoons. i hope i like it...but knowing me i am sure i will.

i have dedicated one hour on my lunchbreak to studying for the MAT. today i got 40% correct. out of 100% that is. still terrible, but better than the first test. a friend of mine is studying too. she made 28% so i don't feel SO bad :-)

now it is time to start packing for my trip to Maine this weekend. better get to it. then it's off to the track!

Ciao-*
