The Healthy Tales

Think Thin Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Bridgette over on the No So Blog.  I have been participating off and on since November 2008 on my other blog, The Blonde Diaries, but decided that it fits better over on this blog since I’m trying to journal about being healthier and exercising.  I have to admit I can’t remember the last time I participated.  I think subconsciously I have decided to not post unless I’m being good.  Well, that needs to change!  So I am going to vow to participate every week from here on out.  I really have no excuse and with this new blog, I will be able to tell fairly easily if I’ve participated or not since the post count is still a little low.

So let’s get going.  I did weigh myself last Thursday with every intention of blogging about it.  I was at 150.4 per my Wii Fit which is the scale I am using.  This morning’s weigh in had me at 150.1.  So a .3 pound loss.  Not a huge loss but a move in the right direction.  I think eating soup for lunch and light dinners has been working in my favor.  There is also the dvd workout I’m doing – Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred.  I’ve only done 4 days but I am feeling really good doing it.  I was hoping for a larger loss but I have been eating out quite a bit with a friend as she is going through a rough time at work – layoffs and pay cuts.  She’s made it through all of that with just a 5% cut so hopefully things will get better and we will quit meeting up frequently for drinks and gorging on food.

I am hoping to hit 146 before my friend’s wedding on April 25th so it will be back to the gym, more 30 day shred, and running on the treadmill.  I am going to try and trade soup for fish or other protein based meals.  Wish me luck!
