Hmm what to say...

Three times I have written on here and 3 times I have deleted it.   I had several trains of thought but got interupted and lost them.
So now, I am not neccessarily wordless but subjectless.

I will however, make a confession.  I have been doing well with tracking etc. but the last 2 days my water consumption has decreased... gotta get that back up again.
Tonight hubby was sweet enough to take me to subway for dinner where I know I can stay OP but then he ordered 2 m&m cookies and didn't eat them.  I didn't need them, I wasn't hungry but they are SO good!  So I did - I ate it. Only one... but I know where he is keeping the other one *smirk*  I hope someone else gets to it before me.

About an hour after we got home I started craving cheez wiz!   Can you believe it?  I love it on Dempsters (white) toasted bread.mmmmm and for some reason I just HAD to have one.
Stupidly I made myself 2 when one would have sufficed.  But since  I have had it I no longer want it - it hit the spot.
Now to head to my tracker, write it down, smile, and go to bed without beating myself up over it.  It was a choice.  Maybe not the best one but I will count it.   This is about change and not depriving one self.   If I would have said no to myself I may have done something worse - like go for the chocolate chipit container and grab handfuls without measuring. 
Okay, gotta go count this up.

My New Chair

Yesterday I was in town and decided it was TIME.  Time to get active.  I bought a new bike 2 years ago and I have only ridden it about 4 times.  I paid a lot of money for it, don't want it stolen AND I didn't want to get it dirty!  Okay, really dumb excuse but *blush* its true!

I have been chatting with my son who is into working out - we don't always get to the gym as it takes a lot of time out of our day/evening.  So what better way than to bring the gym to us.
This is what I have done so far...
I have removed a chair out of the living room and bought a stationary stand for my bike that has tension.  I can ride to my hearts content while watching TV or a movie, not sure if I could attempt playstation 3! Or maybe try upper body workouts with the Wii!. 
My physio therapist told me I needed to strengthen my knee and cycling was the way to do it.


I tried it out last night and Karl walked into the room and turned into Jillian (trainer from biggest loser)  I told him to watch out or I will make him go on the bike! LOL

Jeff just made himself a pull up bar that he plans to set up in the basement - we also have a punching bag that needs to be set up.  I am looking for other tidbits to add to our home gym to work different muscles.
Now to just use it.
