When I got to work, I realized I forgot my knee brace for Zumba... oops. With all the knee trouble I have had lately, I thought I might be headed for disaster. But after taking a week off, I thoght maybe it would be ok.
After work I taught my Zumba class at school. Then when it was done, I thought, the knee is feeling ok... maybeI will hit Zumba with Katie at the Y. Definitely worth it! Hopefully I am not speaking too soon, but I can till walk and my knee seems normal-sized...
Zipped over to Weight Watchers, thinking, I might be heading for disaster. (Are you seeing a pattern here?) I have not tracked my food and points all week. I have tried not to eat like a maniac, but I have definitely been a little slack. Plus-- I didn't work out all week. BUT... I stepped on the scale... and LOST .4 pounds! Now, .4 sounds like nothing, but if you have ever been on a weight-loss journey, then you know that ANY loss counts as a LOSS!
I celebrated by meeting my friends Angie and Mandy at Moe's. I made healthy choices, except for the chips. I just can't turn down the chips and salsa. I have been known to sneak in a bag of Baked! Tostitos, but this time I was unprepared. My "Close Talker in a Bowl" was fantastic. Lettuce, grilled chicken, black beans, pico de gallo, black olives, cucumbers, pickled jalapenos, and cilantro. You don't even need dressing!

I also read that they have new (FREE) cooking classes starting again soon. I heart you, Earth Fare!
I am going to say to everyone reading (all 5 of you): if you have not gone to the Earth Fare website and signed up for their email list, do it RIGHT NOW. They send out 2-3 awesome coupons a week and everything is always delicious!
So... tomorrow is Friday... yippee!!! Happy Friday, everyone!
I went straight to the Earth Fare site signed up! Thanks Liz. As for the .4 loss - way to go!! Never ever say I "just lost" or "it was only" because it takes away from the success of that weight loss. If you look at food comparisons to that weight loss, which I like to do to help keep me real, .4 was almost 2 sticks of butter. I know you don't want that on your hips :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI signed up a long time ago for their coupons and I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've never used them. They always sound so delicious and I keep them in my inbox but by the time I remember again they've expired! You've now inspired me to use them b/c those pics look scrumptious!
