Fit Friday #2

Okay once again another installment. I have done better about eating breakfast and packing lunches. We made some chili that I could take to work as it is quite cold in my office...I definatly wanted something warm to eat. The bad part of it being cold in I am less inclined to exersice. After this weekend with daylight savings I am hoping to walk Emilia to school. It has been too dark to really consider it safe to walk her. After tonight we don't have plans in the evenings so I am hoping to get a chance to exersise a little more...it is just so hard to pack it into the short time I have in the evenings....

It is also hard because today there are 10 million Halloween parties going on here at work and off course it's all healthy, homemade snacks - NOT!! Step away from the cupcakes!

Well I am hoping that this next week will be the start of a whole new outlook.

Fit Friday #1 (on Tuesday no less)

Well this first week of Fit Friday was a disaster. I was amazed when I wrote my food down at what I was eating. I have realized that I definately have to start eating breakfast and start packing my lunches. It has turned cooler so I am hoping to stock up on some soups to eat at work. We are also heading into the dreaded Holiday season with all of it's caloric wonderful food.

Here are my goals and what I have actually done in red.

Start walking my daughter to school - it's not far, but I am trying to create layer's of good choices. Haven't started as yet.
Eating a healthy breakfast every morning. Have done this a few times, but when I don't I tend to have really bad eating habits during the day.
Packing my lunch with lots of healthy snack choices. I haven't really done this, I am going to go get some soups and healthy snacks from the store tonight.
Exersice in the evenings at least 3x a week. Haven't started this yet.
Go for a walk or a bike ride on Saturday mornings. Didn't do this one either....I have been booked the last two Saturday's from Morning to night.
Not buying any more junk food. Since I haven't packed my lunch I have eaten out a few times. I did refrain from digging into the bag of candy that I bought for Halloween that was calling my name. Seriously....I heard it.
Quit TWD. (It is a great baking group but I can't have all those goodies in the house anymore) I did quit, and I haven't baked as much as I used to. I did have to bake one chocolate and caramel cake for a lost bet. (Who would of thought gas would go below $3! But I am glad I lost that bet.)
Buy a scale. (My daughter was playing with the last one and it broke) I am going to try to buy one tonight when I pick up the healthy snacks...
Blog HONESTLY about what I eat daily and post it every Friday. I am hoping that it will keep me honest in my food choices. ok....this is a hard one and embarresing....but I said I would do it so....

Fit Friday - The Beginning

Okay...so I am going to bravely join this Fit Friday that Missy over at It's Almost Naptime has started. Technically they are doing it to get fit for the Holidays...and of those who have joined they are looking to lose 15-20 lbs. Me...I am looking to lose over 100 lbs. Yep you read that right One Hundred. Now before you panic I am not trying to lose that all before the holidays. But I am looking to get a great head start and to also be aware of what I am eating during this Calorie-laden times.

Since puberty I have always been overwieght. We did not have such great eating habits when I was growing up and so I am still in the process of trying to create good habits. When I was little I was skin and bones just like my kids. I am hoping to become healthier so that I can play with my kids longer than 5 minutes without losing my breath.

How I plan to do this:

• Start walking my daughter to school - it's not far, but I am trying to create layer's of good choices.
• Eating a healthy breakfast every morning.
• Packing my lunch with lots of healthy snack choices.
• Exersice in the evenings at least 3x a week.
• Go for a walk or a bike ride on Saturday mornings.
• Not buying any more junk food.
• Quit TWD. (It is a great baking group but I can't have all those goodies in the house anymore)
• Buy a scale. (My daughter was playing with the last one and it broke)
• Blog HONESTLY about what I eat daily and post it every Friday. I am hoping that it will keep me honest in my food choices.

Well...that is all I can think of for now. Will keep you posted.
