The karmic streams have let loose upon me yet again to thwart my dieting efforts.  The past few weeks have been riddled with activities and weather that simply got in the way of putting my full efforts into my daily routine.  For the most part, other then grocery shopping I haven’t done much walking at all.  But I haven’t stopped completely, I have been doing resistance exercises with those rubber bands that clamp to your doors which actually does give me more of a “burn” then my usual aerobics.

Which brings me to today, which I had already twittered about..  Thinking I’ve been doing well on the diet side of the equation, I treated myself to a McDonald’s breakfast of a Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit.  Of course no sooner do I finish that, our office baker comes on by with a warm tray of coffee cake!!  Well.. it would have been rude to say no.. so

Ironically, I seemed to have lost the weight that I gained while I was actively dieting and exercising hard.  Go figure!

Heading into my 3rd week of the 100-Day Challenge and I’m feeling great!

I had to hold back from being disappointed from this mornings weigh-in, I did gain back a pound from last week but as I thought about it I remembered that I dropped 5 the previous week (which people have commented that it was a bit too much) so I’m still averaging a 2 pound loss per week average which is probably very realistic.  I really need to drop 50 total, more would be a bonus but as I always profess.. just happy with the downward trend.

Looking at my activity report, I’m very happy.  I just went out and started walking and moving with no goals in mind.  As it turns out a flat-trail walk of 1-hour is very palatable to me and during poor weather, a half hour with the resistance band goes well too.

Oh.. and for those of you who caught my utter about the old ladies power-walking…  I’m sticking to doing my own solo walks at my own pace.. I’m enjoying my alone time.

That’s it for this week.. I’ll keep y’all posted!

It never fails, whenever I thik I’m on to somthing I’m a day late and a dollar short.  I got myself all excited after I posted this thinking I was on to something, but a quick google search shows it’s been done. 

But still I have to ask, if it’s so abundant on the net.. why doesn’t Pizza Hut open at 6 a.m. and serve this stuff?  I know I’d be there!  It’s like the perfect car-food!

Oh well.. there’s always my idea for Pepperoni Pizza Bites, where instead of using dough for the crust you actually use a large burt crispy pepperoni and pile toppings on top of that.  I think that would outsell muffin tops!  Any investors?

I’ve always been a sucker for something new, especially if it’s candy and placed on the front counter at my morning stop convenient store where I get my coffee every morning. 

I’ve never really been a huge tic-tac fan, actually not a big mint fan in general but seing that this tic tac was a new fruit flavor I figured I would have to give it a try.

Well.. bold is an understatement.  You get a HUGE fruity burst of flavor from the tiny little tic tac.  Good thing it’s 1.9 calorie per tic (or is it per tac?) … with 37 pieces in the zippo-sized flip-top box they only weigh in at 70 calories.  This is good because it all went into my mouth at one time… pretty good sugar buzz

There’s some fun stuff at the official Tic-Tac Website.
