Day 4

So sore today. I worked out on the elliptical machine. That is to say that I actually used it for something other than hanging my clothes on it. Like a fool I did not stretch well afterward as I was just so grateful to be done. Now I'm paying for my foolishness. My legs hurt all night, and thus, I did not sleep well. I'm not exactly a happy camper today, but I'll make it. I plan on purchasing the Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred workout as it has received nothing but rave reviews, as well as a heart rate monitor. Why? Because everyone says that's the only true way to monitor how hard you're working, how many calories you're burning and if you're doing the most to burn fat. I'm down with that. Plus I'd rather put in my calories burned for activity points than rely on what they have in the WW system. Just seems a bit wonky in that respect. As soon as some of my rewards points certificates come in, to Amazon I will go.

I've been eating Lean Cuisine meals every day this week for lunch. In and of itself, that's pretty amazing for the dining out queen. Well, at least at lunch. I really enjoyed the Chicken Carbonara. It was pretty tasty plus it had bacon, bacon!, and pasta in it. Love that! I figure, I'm not only making sure I'm eating better, but I'm spending less. A $2 meal versus a $7-$10 meal depending on where I ate. That's got to be good right? That's not to say I won't visit my favorite hangout (Welcome to Moe's!) every once in a while; I just won't be doing it multiple times a week.

I signed up for the Hungry Girl newsletters. If you don't know who she is, she is a WW follower's go to source for all things tasty. In her latest edition she mentions VitaTops which are apparently muffin tops that are only 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber. Pretty amazing. If they taste even halfway decent, I may have to buy a case or two. They're only 1 WW point for a chocolate muffin top. Yum. Think I may conduct a recon mission to my local Publix to see if they have them in stock because I'd rather try it out first to find out if it totally sucks before I invest $30 for a box from the company. Just sayin. So far Hungry Girl has not steered me wrong so I'll trust in her. :)

Tonight I try Meatless burger. Wish me luck!
