Several days later...

A few days after my maiden voyage into the world of blogging, I have returned with an update. My scale now says 310.2. 3 lbs in 5 days? Maybe. Dysfunctional scale? Maybe. Who knows for sure. But either way, I'm happy. It's been over two weeks since I've had any pop or fast food, and this week I started tracking my food/water intake.

I was bad on Friday. Not so much with the food intake, I was bad with tracking it. I spent all day at my moms, etc...excuses excuses. So anyway, here's the screen dump of my week. I did not include today, obviously.

I also got these cute little badges for my FB:

(I got the Rookie Food Tracker Badge for tracking 5 days in a row. Even though I did not track my food on Friday, I did track my water intake. :D )

Next week will start another goal: gym twice a week starting 11/14. I prefer to grace the gym with my awesome presence first thing in the morning, around 4:45-5am. This is a challenging feat, however, but I'm going to try to go in the morning both times this week.

Another goal I would like to work on is doing basic calisthenics throughout the day/evening, especially when I'm lounging around catching up on DVR. These would include the following:

• Pushups
• regular crunches
• bench (chair) dips
• stretching

There's plenty more where that came from. I stumbled upon a website called military.com/fitness. There was an article (see link) that was called "Lose the Love-handles". Ok great! I'll get workin' on that.

In other, non-weight-loss news, Ryan and I went to Meijer today and decided we need to walk up and down the toy aisles. Now those who know me are very aware of our wishes not to reproduce, so this time of browsing was just for us as adults reliving toys that we loved. We looked at all the Harry Potter Legos and Pirates of the Caribbean Legos, and I had never wanted to drop so much paper on Legos before in my entire life. Legos were always awesome of course, but these were so cool and so detailed. Then of course, we made our way into the Littlest Pet Shop aisle, which is probably my favorite aisle in Meijer. They had a corgi who was adorable.

Now I'm not a kid who plays with toys anymore. However, my reaction to the toys next to the Littlest Pet Shops sounded like...a 5 year old's high-pitched squeal. A tiny (literally) thing called a Squinkie. Maybe this is the new fad? I'm not sure. But I would have loved these when I was a kid.

They are about the size of a quarter, and just so freakin' cute, I could just die. Also, they have the Disney princesses, and I about died from cuteness over the Little Mermaid set.

Anyway, onto more of an adult topic. Are any of you out there watching American Horror Story on FX? So addicting, but I absolutely love it! And Whitney, of course is rapidly becoming one of my favorite shows. Whitney Cumming's chemistry with Chris D'elia is perfect, and he's totally gorgeous, of course.

Glad you took the time to read this super-spesh entry in Befriending the Scale.
