Operation Flat Tire, Week Three

Not much to say today, just thought I'd check in. Forgot to post Fridays weigh in, down 0.8lbs, not as much as I wanted but it's a start. Went for my first run since march on Saturday with my bestie and it went surprisingly well. Did a little yoga last night in the form of a hour and fifteen minute long Hatha yoga class, and tonight my knee is bugging me so it's a little r&r with the pups tonight. I'll leave you guys with a pic of one of my pups, Dex. Toodles!

Cabin Times

My idea of the perfect weekend? Heading out of town to a place with snow, trees, no kitchen, no bathroom, and miles of quadding trails. Heaven!

The other half owns a tiny little cabin about 3 hours out of town, so just far enough away to be relaxing and just close enough to be able to go all the time. And my dogs love it too. Enjoy!

Operation Flat Tire. Week Two

I've been a good girl all week, eating my homemade chicken chili for lunch, my homemade oatmeal for breakfast... So what did I have for lunch today? A&W. Yeah. Gross. My bestie and I have a theory that you have to eat fast food once in a while to remember how disgusting it is and how horrible it makes you feel. Today def did that.

My weigh ins are on Fridays so that's just two days away and I'm hoping to be down two pounds. My goal is one or two pounds a week, which is entirely realistic and sustainable, so here's to a better lifestyle!

I'll leave you kids with a pic of my dinner tonight. Go sushi!

Operation Flat Tire. Week one, day three

This trying to eat healthier jazz kinda got derailed last night when the boy and I decided to go play a little bingo in the afternoon, then, because we were having so much fun and he can never pass up an opportunity to gamble, ended up coming back for evening bingo with mommy dearest and then staying for late night bingo. Yeah, bingo from 3pm till midnight, we are rock stars like that.

I used to go to bingo all the time as a child with my Nama, and last night definitely brought back memories. We would go up to Halfmoon Bay to visit and if we were good, we got to go play bingo. If not, we would get a treat brought back. Always in the form of a chocolate bar. She sure knew the key to my heart.

So back to the food. Last night consisted of lots of pop, chicken fingers, candy etc. I had a chicken chili simmering in the slow cooker but it ended up just going into containers for lunches. Oh well, healthy eats during the week.

In terms of setting myself up for success, I've learned a few things about myself. The main one being that weekends are not a time to commit to healthy eating or exercise. I never make it to the yoga studio on the weekend and I love food, so therefore, love eating out. As long as I stay somewhat healthy during the week, I won't feel so bad about the weekends.

Operation Flat Tire. Week one, day two

After getting sick and tired my health issues as of late, it's time to fix things. Today is week one, day two. My goal is to be a yogi more often, hopefully get back into running, and eat healthier.

I'm getting back to weighing myself every Friday and it looks like I have about 30lbs to lose by June 1.

This mornings feast is homemade blueberry banana walnut oatmeal. Yum!
