Friday Weigh-In!!

So, how did you all fare Thanksgiving? I hope you all enjoyed yourselves! And...If you enjoyed yourself a little too much, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. Put it behind you and pick up right where you left off! I MEAN IT!

Ok, so I'm glad to say that I'm back to a couple of weeks ago, although the pumpkin pie might catch up with me by next week :-0.

Current weight: 176.3
Difference from last Friday: -0.5 lbs


Oh, I also wanted to say so sorry about not shooting out a podcast for before Thanksgiving. Things got a little too hairy on Wednesday with all my holiday prep, and I just couldn't get it done. But you'll be hearing from me very, very, very soon!

Back from ear infection hell!

Sorry I've been scarce lately, I've been nursing my children's ear infections while, of course, trying to keep myself well. I've been popping the echinacea like candy. I'm going to do a quick motivational Thanksgiving podcast later, you might hear some of the insanity that is my home going on in the background!

Check in for the podcast tonight!

Take care!

Episode #7 Show Notes

Truths behind Deprivation

I wouldn't feel so strongly about this subject if it didn't come back to bite me so many times in my dieting life. I think that this is a big thing that we have to understand in order to let healthy living become a permanent part of our lives.

Here's a link to the pedometer I bought. Let me know of any others that you use and like.

Omron Pedometer


E&T Recipe # 7 - Suprise Reuban Sandwich

2 slices lite whole wheat bread
1 oz thin slices Hillshire Farms Pastrami
1 oz swiss cheese (I LOVE Lorraine swiss)
sauercraut (as much as desired)
PAM

Heat up skillet and spray one side of both pieces of bread with PAM. This will be the side that gets fried in the pan.

Pile on your ingredients and cook on a low flame until heated through, the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted. Eat with a side of golden mustard.

Audio Comments...

Hi everybody! I just wanted to let you all know that you can also send me some audio comments. Just record yourself on your computer, save it as an mp3, and email it to me at skinnyshack@spellacy.net. That way I could include your comment in my podcast and respond to you then. It's an exciting way to connect with all of you, so let's give it a go!

Take care of yourself this weekend! Let's get in some exercise at least once!

How about a weigh in?

I've decided that my weekly weigh-in will be implemented to my blog, and with some courage, to my podcast as well.

But here is where you all out there come in, I would LOVE to make an announcement of YOUR weekly weight-ins. By no means do they all have to be losses, this is a real podcast and blog. They are about the real story, ups and downs.

So if you all would back me up, I'll start this. Let's say we start this on Friday. I'll post my weigh-in, and anyone else can, too. Then I'll announce all your progress and mine in the next podcast, but only if you want me too. If you would just like to post your weigh-in, great! No pressure!

This is to make sure I stay accountable to myself. And I love doing it with friends!

I'll be making this announcement on my next podcast, so give it a listen!
