Back Already!

Yes, I'm back already and in my quest to get back to Vegas, just got on the treadmill. Lasted for 60 minutes! My goal is 30, and I usually can stay a little longer. I burned somewhere between 3 and 9 activity points. Trying to figure those things drives me crazy, so I usually round down. This time on, I went hard at the beginning. After a quick warmup, I ran, at around 4.5 to 5 mph for 100 steps each two or three minutes for the first ten minutes. This really gets the heartrate up and the sweating started. I really need to get a heart rate monitor. Maybe I'll make that a short term, 10% goal.

I find that, while I am on the treadmill, I have to set small goals. Okay, I will go five more minutes, or I will stay at this speed for one more minute. I also have to watch tv. Today it was Top Chef. I know for some reason, I seem to watch a lot of food shows! It's killing me. Tuesdays are usually a good night for the 'mill, cuz I watch Big Loser. I am so hooked. I know they lose way more weight than we can at home, but it's still motivational to me. I like the people much more this season than last. Also DietTribe is interesting. Other faves are Big Band Theory, Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee, hgtv shows and food network shows. Yes, I watch way too much tv. So sue me.

Since my weigh in yesterday, I guess instead of 20 lbs to Vegas, it is 17.4! Every pound counts. Ate good today too. Made a shrimp salad from leftover boiled shrimp. I try to keep that around. It's so easy to do, with the easy peel, and low in points too. Put carrots, celery, a little avocado in, and a little of the skin of my middle knuckle. Ah, that must have been the extra somethin' somethin' that made it so good. I have a major injury to my birdy shooting middle finger, and it hurts like hell. Ah the sacrifices we make to lose weight. I do love my mandolin. It makes short work for slicing and dicing. I just need to use the damned guard that goes with it.

I am having T bone steak and corn for tonight,and will still have a few points left, not even counting my activity points. I am thinking those fresh blackberries in the fridge will be delicioso with that 5 calorie spray whipped cream which is so yum.

Good night for now to all. Thanks for reading. Please click on the adds and leave a comment. I'm trying to get back to Vegas!!
