Chris1979's Journal, 24 June 2010

My weight is up 0.2 lbs today. It's probably just retained water so I'm not too worried about it, especially because I know I've been doing the right things.

Last night I worked out again, doing better at not slacking off. It still makes my heart pound though! Definitely a good workout. :)

Afterwards we did the Wii again. There is this game where you have to move around hitting blocks to add up to 10. It's supposed to stimulate your mind while having you move around. It is hilarious to Salem that I, who was a finance major in undergrad, can't for the life of me get more than 3 stars out of 4 on that game. I can't seem to add up to 10 fast enough lol.

I also tried that hard "Dance" yoga pose again. At least this time I made it through the alloted time w/o falling so that was an improvement. I'm hoping doing a couple poses each day will help me be a little more graceful lol.

Food was PRETTY good. I have to qualify it because I made grilled chicken tacos and I had 2. They are filled with mostly healthy things: corn, tomato, black beans, fresh cilantro, low fat sour cream, and reduced sodium cheddar cheese. The soft flour tortillas were my downfall. I shouldn't have had 2.

Today I'm continuing with the fruits throughout the day. Yesterday I made it through the day without feeling hungry at all. I've also switched my normal 2nd and 3rd cups of coffee for plain tea. I still need that caffeine!

My best friend's mom, and then verified by WebMD, stated that Niacin vitamins can help bring down cholesterol. Vitamins are buy 1 get 1 free this week at CVS (for the store brand) so I picked some up yesterday.

I must say that I feel better, happier, because I exercised. And I slept well because I was exhausted from working out. These are good things, and I keep needing to remind myself of them so that I don't slack off.

Anybody getting the new iPhone 4 today? If so I'm jealous!

THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) It's PAYDAY
2) USA advances!!!
3) Tons of compliments on my new sweater which I only paid $4.99 for!

Have a great day friends! :)

Good girl still doing those workouts. Which one are you on? I have never played with the wii. My son bought one and then decided to sell it. He is always buying and selling things. lol Keep doing the right things Chris and enjoy this day! Those taco's don't sound bad at all. After all we have to eat something.

Hi Chris good job on the workouts:) I am trying to get more focused on that part!! So I have a ?... Do you like the wii? We looked at one for my kids but opted to get the ps3 instead now I am wanting one for myself just for the fact that you can use them for exercises. They sound really fun! As for the 0.2 gain it must be water retention I know on really hot days that's what happens to me to. Keep up the good work Chris and hope you have a great night.

I'm not sure that I've seen the new pic but, anyway, you look stunning. I agree totally about the exercise, it makes me feel high, that's probably the main reason why I keep going back for more (lol). I'm not sure about the Niacin and the cholesterol but it can' hurt to try. Have a great weekend Chris!
