2011 weight loss goals

Strive to do something every day that will help me be more healthy and lose weight. Yes, I could just put be more healthy, but for me, being more healthy is plain and simple. Losing weight. Any doctor would say the same. Of all the things I can do to improve my health, losing weight is the most important for me right now. I will strive every day to...

1-take (2) vitamins
2-stretch
3-15 min of exercise (something, anything!)
4-drink 8 glasses of water
5- eat a serving of fruit or veggie with every meal or snack
6-avoid 'fake' foods (anything with basically no nutritional value other than calories)

309.8 Fun evening

Last night my husband and I got a rare date night, and it was fabulous! We went to Zupas! for dinner and I had the nuts about berries half salad (I am not a fan of salad, but I LOVE this salad) and a bowl of cream of cauliflower soup. It was SOOOOO delicious. I am an official addict. I probably would have been better off with a soup that wasn't 'cream', but I love the cauliflower soup and decided to let myself have it. It DOES have vegetables in it, after all!! Big thanks to my good friend, Tamara, who introduced me to my new favorite restaurant. btw-for some reason most of the day yesterday I seemed to have an insatiable appetite. It didn't matter what I ate, within 20-30 min I was hungry again. I just kept trying to make good choices when I was hungry and drink some water and wait it out. By the time we were done at Zupas I was stuffed, and remained so for the rest of the evening. Thank heavens.

These are the masks I made for the masquerade ball.


After dinner we attended a masquerade ball! Some friends of ours put on an annual 'mock'tail party and we were able to go this year for the first time. We had a blast dancing the night away and I got my exercise in while we were at it. :~) Much better than the treadmill, I must say. My sweet hubby wasn't feeling the greatest, but he knew how much I had been looking forward to it, and so he indulged me. We didn't dance as much as we might have if he had been feeling better, but we still got quite a lot of dancing in. I probably would have lost more weight if it weren't for the three 'mock'tails I indulged in (although one was made with diet Sprite). They were delicious, though, and worth every bit of calories. (It's not like I drink mocktails all the time, right!) I was so full from dinner that I didn't even touch the mini chocolate cupcakes and other hors d'oeuvres except for one cracker with spinach dip on it. Delicious, btw. All in all it was a fabulous night, and I was a little worried I wouldn't lose anything or possibly gain because of my indulgence, but it turned out alright after all. I still lost some weight, and what more can a girl ask for but a night out on the town followed by a little weight loss. :~)
