Popcorn?

Yesterday was a fantastic eating day for me- until I got off work.

I had yogurt with crushed granola for breakfast for 8 points
I had 2 oz of chicken breast with fat free swiss and half a cup of cottage cheese for 6 points
I had another granola bar "two-fer" for 4 points and an apple (0) for a snack
I had 3 oz of shredded bbq pork for 6 points

That's 24 points.

Then I proceeded to gorge on popcorn. I have no idea how much I had! the label on the canister (Yes, *canister*) said that it was 3 points per serving, however, the serving size is scratched off the label!! Go figure! I know there are 24 servings per container however. It was a 3-type canister filled with regular, cheddar cheese, and caramel corn. I am not fond of caramel corn so no extra damage there! The strange thing is, it doesn't say what the nutritional info is per type of popcorn, just what it is overall. Perhaps they assume that you will eat a serving and it will equally be divided into the three types?

Anyway to be safe, I said that I had 4 servings (theres a looooot left) for 12 points


For some reason, I am unable to access WW.com and also on my app on my iPhone. I cannot even add items to the "untracked" folder. I've been having issues with the app since they switched it over to PointsPlus and even downloading the updates, deleting the app and reinstalling it still gives me issues. Grumbleee!

Strange websites aside, I also Zumba'd today using my Kinect game. And while it's not the same as going to a class (for one, the instructors big ass isn't in my face and I am not tripping over gym equipment) it is still a lot of fun and verrrry hard. There are beginner and intermediate classes as well as some others I think? But I've only done one of the two beginner's classes. It breaks it down into 5 minute sections and its 25 minutes long. By the time its over, I'm sweating hard, I can barely think as I try to count the beats to keep in sync, and I am out of breath. Worth it though, when I see how sore I am only a few hours later.

Points consumed: 36
Activity earned: 6
Mood: GREAT!
Hunger: nil
Thoughts?: Feeling a little nauseous but that could be combined stress and the effects of taking my birth control pills. I always get nauseated the first few days taking them after I've had my lady time. Over all a fantastic day! Yay! I can do this :)

I switched my schedule around so I could have a longer weekend, and I am so looking forward to it. I cannot wait to be done with this week. I am getting so stressed due to work being insane (to the point where I think this is not worth anything they pay me- and the money is *fantastic*- but I keep pushing through. It's because of the holidays. I will see if its any better by February, and if it's not for me, oh well, its not for me. At least I tried and tried.) I take a Xanax daily. I am going to run out soon and have to go to the doctor to get another fill lol :)

Between tech issues on my end and their end, and the never ending calls, its been a nightmare...In fact, thats all I dream about. :(
But while I am on the calls with the customer I am having a great time, laughing, and keeping them entertained, so it has its good points too. I now definitely have no problem talking to people, whether in person or on the phone.

Workout: Arms and Buns

I did 2 workouts yesterday off of the 10 Minute Solution: Target Toning. I did the arms and buns. It was a lot of fun, however, I only earned 1 ap because it was a light effort. Still, light effort or not, I am sore today. I used my new 3lb weights. I upgraded from 2 lbs, and I could definitely feel the difference. My biceps are sore, which definitely means one thing: They exist!!

Thats exciting news!! I would love to have real guns some day.

I did the bun workout too as I mentioned and I didn't find it that hard, but you know what? My ass is sure sore today, and all the back of my leg is too.

Unfortunately I couldn't do any more than just those 2 workouts because my knee is really acting up. I am sure you are all sick of my whining but its effecting my day to day. Next week I will be able to go to the chiro and get that taken care off. I really need my knee adjusted.

Maybe he will let me take pics of my xrays so I can show you how effed up my knee is and what it is doing to me. Last time I went, he said that I still had all of my cartilage but my knee cap is out of place, and the muscle attached is incredibly weak. I am worried that I am losing cartilage, or worse, getting bone spurs. So definitely, the sooner the better.

Tomorrow is payday, which means part one of my vlog will be under way. I won't say what it is, but I hope that you guys like it. Saturday will be the rest of it, and it should be up late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.

I am also going to do a bonus video because I am renting Zumba Fitness for the Kinect, and I will be testing that out and showing you how ridiculous  sexy I dance.

Its also time for some photographic evidence as well. Probably early next week, maybe Wednesday at the latest, I am going to upload some before and now pics. Some will be from my wedding day/graduation/etc and of course how I look now.

I can finally see a difference in how I looked 2 months ago, so I think its time to show you guys too!

And lastly, but not least, I want to say thank you to all of my commenters, friends, and lurkers. While I enjoy the sound of my own voice, its great knowing you guys listen or at least laugh with me.

I never imagined anyone other than my gramma and mom would read my blog and I can't believe I've gotten so many followers now. I like all 62 of you.
