Wednesday Weigh-in: Starting over!

Guess what you guys! I got a scale!

That’s right, I finally did it – thanks to Amazon and my free 2-day shipping – otherwise we’d be weightless once again. So, we're kind of starting over, with this new scale. On to the post!

Fitness:

We’ve still been getting settled and what not in the new place, so we haven’t done much working out. We’ve Wii’d  once, but nothing too intense – unless you count scrubbing the hall bathroom that was oddly covered in a fine red powder when we moved in… (I think it’s probably something their cleaning crew uses and someone just forgot to finish the job)

Food:

I think I’ve been doing fairly well, when I eat something that’s not super healthy, I do my best to limit my portion sizes – or eat more steamed peas when I’m still hungry afterwards.

Also, thanks to Lifehacker, I’ve been taking salads for lunch since last Thursday. They’ve got this nifty little “hack” of putting Salad in a jar – layered in such a way that the lettuce (or spinach) won’t wilt!

The secret is in putting the salad dressing at the bottom and then having a layer of something else to keep it from getting in contact with the lettuce portion of the salad.

So far, I’ve done Low Fat Ranch dressing, Zucchini, and Romaine; Cranberry balsamic vinaigrette, Zucchini, and Spinach; and today, I’m adding some cooked and cooled brown rice to the last one. 

This was our dinner last night

Hurdles:

Well, obviously, it’s been easier to go with the easy stuff as we’re moving and it’s been difficult to get a workout in with everything else we’ve got going on. Next week’s hurdles are sure to include Thanksgiving.

Today’s Weigh in:  154.2*

*As this is a new scale, I’m not even bothering to go back and look at what I weighed the last time the old scale worked.
