A Schedule and a Thank You

I haven't posted what I've been up to lately because I'll be honest to say I have been up to no good in regard to my eating.  I'm in my last trimester of nursing school, and my schedule has been packed.  This has lead to a lot of convenience meals and quick grabs of whatever I can find in the house... and typically I want to grab the bad instead of the good.

I was reading Weight Watcher's Magazine last night and found a great tip about scheduling out your food like you would your day.  Since I'm great with schedules, I thought I would give this a try.  So, last night I sat down at the computer and wrote out exactly what I would be eating for a day to stay within my Weight Watcher's Points.  It's only the morning of the first day, but I'm really excited.  I already know what I'm having for lunch, dinner and possible snacks for today.

I also decided to schedule my exercise for today as well.  I have a great 2 mile hilly road that I like to run, so I was out of bed at 6:00 a.m. ready to run!  Unfortunately, it was raining and I hate running or walking in the rain.  A light sprinkle is nice, but a downpour is not.  I looked at my running partner:

Who would have been thrilled to go either way, but I decided against it.  The smell of wet dog running around the house is not a good one.  So I improvised and turned on Exercise On Demand and pulled up a 2 mile Leslie Sansone video and went to town.  I wrote it on my calendar (my exercise log) like Mary said here.

We also wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Angie at Angie's Healthy Living Blog for the Sunshine Award she gave us.

Angie, we are so sorry we never responded to this award.  With four people on the blog, it's hard to know who is going to do what and we all thought someone else was posting the thank you.  So, as part of the award, we need to nominate 12 people to receive the award.  Since we are new and still growing, we wanted to thank each one who is following our blog:

1. Steffany
2. Erin
3. bfmanbeck
4. Lisa
5. Stacy
6. Terri
7. Valerie
8. Tracy
9. Keelie
10. Beth
11. And back to Angie again

I thought we had a few more followers, but I'm not sure why your names didn't show up when I went to the Followers link.  If we missed you, that's why and we apologize.

Okay, I hope everyone is ready for their week of getting healthy.  Let us know how you're doing.
