I am going to my friend's baby shower on Saturday so I won't be home to weigh myself. I thought hmm Lets weigh in this morning so I wont forget to do it tomorrow. Sadly, weight watchers wont let me track it because I can only enter results Saturday or after. So Results are!! Another 2.9 weight loss! WAHOO! So now I am at a total of weight loss of 13.4 with Weight Watchers and 18.4 total since I started trying losing weight.
So now on to my blabbering- Did you know you could make brownies in the waffle iron in 5 minutes?? We had a game night last night and had two couples over so we made this. They totally crumbled coming out so it was a big heap of a mess- tasted fine though....I think they were a mess because I forgot to PAM the iron first... I never do with my waffles so I forgot for my brownies. So we were playing my favorite game- Celestial Companions- the Mormon version of Newlywed game. I was completely bragging about how we have only lost this game once and we always win- one time by over 15 points...Any guesses on which place we took? LAST...I think I jinxed myself.
So one question said - for the husbands- What calms your wife the most? When I answered I said- hmm a hug or chocolate- I'll go with a hug. At which our answers didn't meet because I am a chocoholic. I laughed and showed everyone my huge chocolate bar from the post above. So next round- What is your wife's favorite candy bar? I answered snickers and everyone busted up laughing since I just showed them my 1 lb giant chocolate bar. Adam didn't think it was too funny- we lost another point.
On to healthier things- I took the kids jogging yesterday on a path next to our house and we had a great time. I went from my house down the path and to the freeway and then back again. We stopped at the park at my Apartment complex after the run to let them wiggle and for me to cool down. I think it was about two miles? Not sure but it was about 45 min so maybe more? I'll try driving it as best as I can. I didn't run the entire thing- we walked and jogged. I use a heart rate monitor (must have for cardio workout and training) and I easily hit my 90% range (which is 185-190 BPM). Running on the street is so much harder than an elliptical or treadmill! My monitor shows me how much I burn was fat, how many calories I burned, highest and lowest heart rate- blah blah blah... So in the hour of the running and cool down I burned 750 calories!
Tonight I am going to a Weight Watchers meeting for the first time- lets see how it goes!
Here is a picrure of the kids in the jogging stroller. I couldn't get them to look at me at the same time!
awesome!! Glad it's going so well. Nice that the kids enjoyed the run....the run outside is harder because you're having to create the forward momentum, the machine doesn't do it for you like on a treadmill which is more just jumping up and down because the machine is doing the forward momentum. my husband always says his run feels much more productive actually running outside not on the treadmill.
