it's been a while!

hello, ladies!


it definitely has been a while since i (or anyone else for that matter) posted last...but that doesn't mean i haven't been thinking about my health!


first off, i am definitely liking my new gym. i know i've talked about it in the past, but i'm starting to see some results, which is really exciting...clothes fitting more loosely, dropping a couple pounds (into the 140's finally!), and i'm challenging myself a lot more than i used to. yay!


i joined sparkpeople.com.  annika, i don't remember if that's the site you mentioned before or not, but i finally got around to joining it...and i'm really glad i did because i'm tracking what i eat and learning a whole lot about food and fitness and overall health.  i even made a new friend who has become my walking buddy! :)  so if you're on that site, or want to join it (for free), my username is karebare00 - become my friend!


my weakness is still chocolate...i am trying to incorporate it into healthier things, though (like chocolate milk or weight watchers chocolate fudge bars). but, i guess it's not the end of the world if i have chocolate, as long as i'm having it in small portions and am tracking it. 


any good things happening in your lives? i know that lisa's changed her workout routine and has felt more energy because of it....please share!

well, easter's coming up....what are you ladies doing to help curb the gorging? ;) i know that whenever i go to a family gathering, i want to try EVERYthing, which usually leads to stuffing myself.  i'm not quite sure what's on the menu for sunday, but maybe i'll just try to do some portion control!

and of course, tony's mom is having us over for dinner tomorrow...AND i have a potluck tonight.  is it horrible that i was considering skipping the potluck just so i don't eat too much?

maybe i'll have some slimmetry before eating and carb blocker after. we'll see.

in other news, i've been feeling kind of lazy lately in the workout department.  which, when i think about what i've done this week, isn't that bad.  i worked out on sunday and tuesday, and probably will force myself to go to the gym today and tomorrow.  when i thought about that, i was like "wait! since when did 3-4 workouts in a week turn into being lazy?!" i guess this is a good sign; i'm getting so used to working out, that when i don't, it feels like something's missing!

happy easter!
