I'm Baaaaacccckkkk

So the whole New Year's Resolution to document every day my journey to weight loss freedom fell by the wayside. Somehow I've been just too busy to write down what's going on, or just felt like it was monotonous to say, exercised, ate a Lean Cuisine four of five days. I have been pretty good and I'm down about 8 lbs. That earlier 10 lb. weight loss was an aberration thanks to my scale freaking out and telling me it needed a new battery. That's fine I guess as all the weight loss experts say you shouldn't lose more than 1-2 lbs. per week if you want long term weight loss. Well, everyone but people on that are on The Biggest Loser, but I don't count them because who can workout 8 hours a day and have their meals made by nutritionists? Just sayin.

I do let myself have a cheat day, which has been Saturdays. I don't go crazy but I do allow myself a burger or sweets. This week was bad though as we went to the Medieval Faire (yes, it had an "e" at the end of it) and I ate a few bites of my daughter's funnel cake and then had Burger King afterwards. Which would have been par for the course if I had left it at that, but had my niece's birthday party yesterday at the roller rink and ate a piece of pizza and a piece of cake. Not so good. I did exercise both Saturday and Sunday though so I'd like think it sorta counteracts what I ate. :)

New program, Turbo Fire, which is currently kicking my butt. I'll keep it up though because in 30 minutes I burned almost 400 calories. Not bad. And that was on the wussy setting (not the official title of that, but that's how I'd describe it to others). My hubby thinks the instructor is too perky but I like her. She keeps it light and interesting so who cares if she's a little on the cheesy side?

Today's lunch is good ol' Lean Cuisine and I think spaghetti tonight after exercise. Love me the carbs. This is why I could never do Atkins. :)

On a side note: I'm trying to take some inspiration from my guilty pleasure of the moment Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. The people on that show (or at least a good percentage) are pretty hot and crazy ripped. Sure, it's not Emmy award winning fare but who doesn't love some sex and violence, not necessarily in that order? Anywho, loved the previous season and feel sad the main character, Andy Whitfield, won't be back for the next season due to cancer. Hope he gets better and maybe they can bring him back for a third season, or I guess it would be a fourth as this is the second season but it's a prequel, too complicated. Oh well. I'll just have to contend myself with the hotties on this season. Main guy, while not as hot as Andy, has a nice smile and killer abs. Hope he can bring it throughout the season.
