Since I only cooked half of my cube steak for dinner the night before last, I decided to chop it up and add it to my morning hash – 4 ounces potato, 3 ounces cube steak, baby spinach, 1/2 cup egg whites and 1/2 ounce of cheese. I only cooked the steak half way at home though so when I warmed it up at work it didn’t get too tough – worked perfect!
Another stunning day in Chicagoland – I can’t even remember the last time I ran outside, in January, in a t-shirt! Some of you saw this photo I posted on facebook (that I actually uploaded from my blackberry – getting so techno!). After looking at it posting it here, it kinda looks like I am hailing a taxi!
I ended up doing a 5 minute walking warm-up and then decided to push the first 1.5 miles – and ended up doing it in 16 minutes! The second half of the 1.5 miles was my normal walk to a song, run to a song – finished in 36 minutes and then did a 5 minute cool down walk back to my office.
I passed by a semi-frozen pond behind one of the subdivisions – it was cute because it looked like one goose was walking slowly seeing how far he could walk on the ice while about a dozen geese watched him.
When I got back work just got super busy – you didn’t miss much of my lunch, it was a turkey sandwich on the healthy life bread and a cup of my thai butternut squash soup.
I ended up working until 12:15 a.m. last night – which I hate to do on a Friday night. š Especially when I should be hanging out with Tony at home.
I only had a 240 calorie lean cuisine for dinner around 7:30, and when I called Tony to tell him I was coming home he asked if I was hungry and I said I was a bit peckish. I came home to a lovely plate of shrimp cocktail, a little bit of cheese and crackers and some pickles – perfect! Thanks honey!
I set my alarm to get up for the WW meeting, turned it off thinking I’d get up in a minute, and ended up missing my meeting completely. I did discover that my one scale was exactly what the WW scale was last week – 164 pounds on my scale last week was exactly what was on the WW scale.
So the moment you’ve all been waiting for, right?
-1.4! I’ll take it. I’ll be back in the 150’s before I know it!
I still have operation closet today – I never finished that project from New Year’s weekend. Other than that, we don’t have much planned. What are you up to this weekend?
Have a great Saturday!
Biz! You work too much! š
Congrats on the loss, that’s wonderful! The weather has been so nice. I’ve been running lots, but not outdoors due to this cold I just cant shake! Hopefully the weather can hold out til Wednesday and I can get out then!
1) Steak for breakfast (cubed or not) is never a bad thing š
2) Tony whipping up a shrimp cocktail for you is the bomb!
3) Apparently, the geese think you will have a mild winter since they haven’t left yet! What nice weather you are having!
I can’t believe how warm it is! It’s really weird!
What a nice hubby making you a late night snack! Sorry you had to work so late, but I hope you are enjoying the rest of the weekend!
Hurray for your loss! Yes, you and I will both be back in the 150s soon enough.Tonight however I was treated to a meal of carbs and more carbs – pasta, bread and a little bit of chocolate for dessert. Hurray for carb loading pre-marathon. Thank you so much for your support Biz. I can’t wait to post my race recap. Have a great weekend and enjoy those warm January temps!!
I like it when the scale goes in the right direction!
I am trying to decipher my “to do” calendar. I can’t figure out what I wrote. Church tonight and we take Squirrel back tomorrow. š At least the weather is nice, like y’all have.
I’m finally below 162 again set a goal of 154 by Feb 27th that is 8 weeks from when I started my personal challenge. I am serious this time with tracking my food and following a plan:) Theres a new book out call ” Run Your Butt Off” I’m on week 5 of that so you have lots of company in your journey.
Congrats on your weigh in. Your husband is a great guy to support you like that!
Hi Biz, that is exactly what I weigh – for today at least….haha! Have a good weekend.
Okay Jody – first one to hit the 150’s owes the other $5! Up for the challenge? š
Don’t even go there – but I’ll contemplate it my friend!
Hope you’ll have a nice, relaxing weekend! I cleaned out my closet a few days ago, and it felt so good!
Great job on the loss!
Love that scale! I am on operation closet today too. As soon as I GET OFF MY BUTT. Good job, have a great weekend!
That Tony is a keeper! Great job, kiddo!
great job on the WI! š
TAXI! š lol
Congratulations on your weight loss, keep up the great work.
Great WI!
I just went outside to get the mail & thought for a brief moment it was Spring! I thought for sure I’d be freezing going outside in a t-shirt – in January – in NY, but boy was I wrong. This weather is so confusing!
Congrats on the weigh-in Biz! I’m having my first SBD weigh-in on Monday to see how it’s working. I’m excited!
My weekend is full of cleaning and working out. I’m excited not to have much planned.
LOVE that you are getting such nice weather in January! Whoop whoop on that run, too! š
It so sucks to have to stay that late on a Friday night, but how wonderful of Tony to have some tasty food ready for you…what a sweetheart!
Enjoy project closet. Sounds fun, especially the satisfaction you’ll feel when you’re done!
I hope to find the hat you gave me in my mess – I know I wore it grilling on Christmas Day but I haven’t been able to find it – I feel lost without it. š
Whoop! Great job on the weigh in! I love that you’re still fitting in outdoor workouts! Its GORGEOUS here too. We had our pump launch this morning (indoors), but I’m heading out for a walk with Kay and my Aunt here soon. Tony is such a sweetie for making you something delicious to come home too!
Yea to the 150’s, you’ll be there soon! So nice of Tony to make you a snack when you got home that late. Mine would have told me to stop at Taco Bell. š
Got a late start this morning but I”m off soon to spend my $132 rebate check from Costco! Free trip to Costco, I’ll take it!
Ha – your taco bell comment made me laugh out loud! Have fun shopping – score! Just don’t buy any onions, okay, thanks. š
