A Little of this...a little of that....

First...tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Tracy Yukish from Biggest Loser Season 8. My girls and I were shopping in Target and around the corner this lady comes pushing a cart with a little girl in it. I just happened to make eye contact and we both smiled at each other. After she passed I got all excited and tapped my girls on their shoulders telling them that we just passes Tracy from The Biggest Loser....one of our favorite shows.

Both of them were a little disappointed that they didn't see her so we backtracked to find her. At least so we could introduce ourselves and let her know how much we enjoy the show and how entertaining we found her. I love that she was open about playing the game from the get go.

She looks fantastic and is very friendly.

One tip she shared with me and I'll pass on to you is....have a "free" meal once a week. Sit at the table to eat it...once you leave the table....you are done.


Second....I ate out for breakfast and lunch today. I knew I would be doing this all week and did pretty good staying on point. Of course had I not used up almost all my weekly points on Sunday I wouldn't have had to be so careful today, another day that I am very hungry.

I came home from eating breakfast [egg beater western omelet lite on the cheese and half of my side order of hash browns] and ate an apple because I was still hungry. We went to Mimi's for lunch and I ate a Cobb Salad with a low fat dressing, half a blueberry muffin, and their chocolate mousse dessert....but at least I left their feeling like I actually ate something. I also stayed within the points I allotted myself for today...YAY!!!

Lastly....I've been doing good "sneaking" in extra activity. The other afternoon I was sitting on the floor playing a game with my children. I started doing various floor exercises and even had one of my children bring me my elastic band so I could do some resistance exercises. The biggest problem was that I would accidently knock the game board and we'd have to guess which spaces were covered. Glad my children are good sports.

And I am still parking further away when I go to an establishment. Two benefits of parking further away is that I don't have to get stressed about getting the closest parking spot....and....I never have a problem finding a spot...:-) Of course with this cold wind cutting through us I don't blame anyone for wanting a close spot...but on the positive side....the cold wind just makes me walk faster.
