Tip of the Week ~ Add some veggies to that meal!

I am a huge fan of the Lean Cuisine, Weight Watchers, Healthy Choice frozen meals for lunch.  They are quick and easy to heat up and a healthy option for working moms on the go.  The only problem is that they are not very filling.  

I have a solution: add some veggies!  I learned this trick from a friend who introduced me to Weight Watchers in college.  It's easy to bring a small-sized can of green beans, carrots, peas, corn, etc to add to the meal.  Green beans in particular seem to go well with many of the meals.

So if you are looking to healthfully add to your frozen lunch, give canned veggies a try!

Workout 55 of 2011 (cardio and abs)

Today I still cannot find my other tennis shoe which meant my only option was the elliptical (I wear flipflops on it).  I did 20 minutes on the elliptical followed by some ab work.

I'm feeling pretty good but I hope to find my other sneaker so I can do a Jillian workout soon!

Workout 54 of 2011 (cardio, weights, abs)

I have recently taken up crafting which has cut into my workout time this week--yep, that's an excuse and it's 100% the truth.  Today I finally worked out, doing 15 minutes on the elliptical followed by 10 minutes of various Jillian Michaels' compound and ab moves.

I did not complete my short term goal of 4 workouts this week, and I am disappointed in myself.  HOWEVER, I will not beat myself up over this and instead will focus on achieving any goals I make for next week.

Most Recent Weigh-in

I am really proud to say that before today, I don't know when I last stepped on a scale.  I was becoming too chummy with the scale--translation, I would think about it more and want to weigh more than once a week--so I decided to ditch it.  Today I was nervous knowing that I'd have to weigh at the doctor.  Common sense had already told me I hadn't gained weight because my clothes still fit the exact same; however, having been inconsistent with my workouts and having eaten out a lot recently, I wasn't sure the scale would be my friend.  BUT it was!  Despite slacking off on my workouts and eating out more than normal, I still weigh 141!

Talk about relief! :)

This week I WILL workout 4 times.  I'm committed to that goal.  What are you committed to this week?
