You know..the things you'd like to do before you "kick the bucket". I don't have a written list (though I am a list maker.. I'm suprised I don't actually have one.) But in my mind, my bucket list includes many things; two of them were fulfilled this past Saturday.

The treadmills are programmed for different things one of which is a 5K. So, I decided to see how far I could actually run it. I did the 5k (3.1 miles) in 46:41 and ended up running 38 of those 46 minutes. I was shocked that I could run that long. I knew I'd finish the 'race', but figured I'd walk more of it.I decided that every Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172032795066650716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492217675911784443.post-35094722026255445922010-01-20T13:27:00.007-05:002010-01-20T13:37:09.849-05:00New food...I decided to try something new this week. BOCA burgers.I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I worried not only about the taste, but also the consistency. I chose this flavor for no particular reason. It was low in calories and fat, and had a lot of protein.I grilled it in a non-stick pan and put it on a toasted deli thin 'roll'. I added some grilled onions, tomato slice, lettuce and of Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172032795066650716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492217675911784443.post-75464015943414840312010-01-20T13:13:00.005-05:002010-01-20T13:36:09.830-05:00Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 52Well...it wasn't a great loss, but I'll take it. I was diligent in tracking all my food intake this week. I've incorporated more vegetables into my everyday diet and now include a baby spinach salad with carrots and tomatoes along with 1 tsp of olive oil and red wine vinegar as salad dressing every evening with dinner.

This cold weather is getting me down. I still exercise daily...but I was so hungry last week. I didn't splurge on anything 'sinful'...just ate more of what I usually eat and that resulted in another gain.But, I've regrouped (as they say) and feel as though I'm back on track.

I realized this week how regimented my life really is. I get up at the same time every day and eat meals/snacks at the same time. But last Wednesday evening, my daughters came home with dozens of homemade cookies and cupcakes in hand. So the next 5 days were off my normal routine. That is, however, no excuse...but I did enjoy Christmas in all Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172032795066650716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492217675911784443.post-64544143030501168832009-12-28T21:29:00.001-05:002009-12-28T21:30:32.146-05:00Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 48This week's weight loss1.4 lbs for a total of 66.2 lbs gone.I got another '5 pound star' today!!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172032795066650716noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492217675911784443.post-37972462964214545962009-12-20T21:08:00.003-05:002009-12-20T21:09:05.307-05:00Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 47Another good week..This week's weight loss: -1.0 lb for a total of 64.8!!Joannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05172032795066650716noreply@blogger.com0
