Saturday Reporting

Dang, only a few days in and I'm a slacker.

I didn't log my food intake today because I was just too busy. So let me see if I can think of everything off the top of my head....
Breakfast:
Cup of Coffee
Peppermint Creamer
Sugar

Lunch:
Bowl of potato soup (homemade and soooooo yummy!)
Half a bowl of chili (homemade and soooooo yummy!)

Dinner:
Appetizers at Sarah's (chips and salsa and wings)

Who knows what the nutritional aspect of all of that soup and chili would be....I don't even have a clue but I do know that it was worth every calorie! The potato soup is my grandma's recipe and it's so freakin' delicious. I've been craving it for about three years and finally took the time to make it. It was worth the wait.

I didn't run today. But I had an excuse why.....I had to clean and cook and paint. Yeah....I was really busy. Couldn't even fit in a 30 minute run! I'm so lazy.

Another excuse that I'd been throwing around the last couple of days is that I didn't have my mp3 loaded with "running songs." I kid you not, this was an excuse that I used to myself for not running. I said to myself "self, you can't go running with no music, that would be dumb" so I didn't go running. Now, I have the music all loaded and ready.

While I'm tattling I guess I'll tell you my other lame excuse for being a lazy butt....I told myself that I didn't have to run or work out because I set my goal so low that I have the whole month to get the 3 pounds off...so I can slack until the last week and then fret to meet the goal.

I'm so pathetic. Grrr. Sometimes I made myself so mad. In hindsight I see how stupid I am but when I'm in the moment, I'm all about the stupid excuses.

Tonight we were at Sarah's house (our soon to be sister in law, hehe!) having game night with some friends. The TV was on in the background and this infomercial came on for the bender ball.

I need this. I think it would work so perfectly! I mean, I have an ab roller and using that is how I got so toned the last time I had big time weight loss but this ball may be even better. I'm going to look into getting one. The ab roller is stored somewhere in the garage....I haven't used it since starting this weight loss kick either. I mean, I've asked Richie to go and get it for me but he still hasn't (excuse alert). Also, our house has wood floors throughout. No carpet anywhere (and we hate it) so I'm going to have to make a makeshift pad or buy a workout mat to start using my ab roller too (excuse alert). Man, I just need to give it up!

I'm going to bed....I'm excused out tonight!
