Fit Friday!

Sadly, Liz (at Savvy Seasons) stopped doing her 'Water Diet' Party each week because there wasn't many participants. She is however still giving us weekly updates on how her water diet is going. I thought I would continue to post my progress too, because it does help to keep me motivated, and also accountable. 

Look I even made myself a button :-)  I'm not making this a 'party', so to speak - firstly I don't even know how to add a Mr. Linky to my blog for you all to join in, and secondly if people didn't want to join in with Liz (who on average gets over 20 comments a day) I would hardly think that anyone would want to join in with me , I don't even know 20 people that comment regularly!! (but for those of you who do comment regularly, please know I REALLY appreciate it, and I love reading your comments). I just don't expect you all to join in with me simply because I want to post about this on a weekly basis.

Fit Friday is what I've decided to call Friday's posts. I can't say that I'm feeling all that fit, but it is Friday, so at least 50% of that statement is true ;-). So, how am I doing?  Well, not too bad, but not great either. I could put a lot more effort in to getting fit and exercising more but I don't. I'm not going to the gym as much as I was before the new year, but I'm trying to create a schedule that works for me.

This past week I've been trying out some new dvd's at home. I'm just not one of those people who LOVE to go up to the gym, but I don't want to quit totally. So I'm going to the gym about twice a week right now and doing some workouts at home.  Wanna know what I tried (if you're on Facebook you may have seen this). . .

I got this out of the library this week, and I have to tell you it's quite the workout (and no, I wasn't dressed like that when I did it!). It involves a lot of arm movement, primarily over your head or out to the side, and by the end of the workout I felt like I'd lifted 50lb weights for an hour!!!  It was fun though, and I plan on doing it a few more times before I have to return the dvd to the library. I also got out a Denise Austen dvd, and a Karen Voight

As you know I'm on Weight Watchers, and that is going well. I'm finding it easy to keep track of my points, but there are days I would really like to just eat anything I want (and by anything I mean all the 'junk' stuff, like chips and chocolate, or McDonalds!!!), I just don't cave in to those cravings though. Well, not all of them, I will allow myself some chocolate every now and then. The other day I had my first Cadbury's Creme Egg of the season - it was delicious :-)

I've also discovered this yogurt this week. . . 

I love Stoneyfield Greek yogurt plain, but recently started trying their flavored ones. I always get the 'Oikos' kind, but to be honest I don't even know what that means? And this yummy key lime yogurt, well I didn't even know it was Dannon and not Stoneyfield until I uploaded this picture. I have both in my fridge and I thought they were all Stoneyfield! Well anyway, they are all pretty good, and the key lime one is like having key lime pie without the fattening crust!! Delicious with fruit chopped up on top.

Well anyway, before this post gets too long, the main update this week is that I am down 4lb since Christmas :-) And hopefully on my way to looking 'fab' for the Summer!
