Sunday, Fun Day

Happy Sunday Teaspoons, 

I don't usually like Sundays: you know it's back to reality the next morning and you have to get back in the routine (lunch making, alarm setting, etc.). Today actualy turned out ok though! My (skinny) boyfriend and I woke up to a snow storm. We went outside to shovel a little which meant I got a little bit of exercise in. We then decided to go for a walk in the blizzard. Came back, ate lunch and went out again! With winds gusting at 100km/h and with rocks to hop on and off from, I came back home with rosy cheek and a elevated heart rate! Now I'm a little soar everywhere and it feels great! Who knew a stormy day wod turn out into a full day of working out? I now feel rejuvenated and ready for the week ahead! 

Hope you made the best out of your weekend too! 

Till tomorrow, keep on tracking!

Be My Valentine?

Good evening Teaspoons!

How did you Tuesday go?  Only one more day before the weight-in.  We'll see tomorrow what kind of impact my trip to my parent's house did on the scale.

Valentine's day is coming up quickly!  The store are filled with teddy bears, hearts and chocolates.  What are you're plans for V-day?  Are you planning a romantic supper with your love one?  Or a fun outing with your single girl friends? What ever you will choose to do on Friday night, it will most then likely involve food.  So here's a few trick to survive V-Day.

1)  Make SURE that your boyfriend/girlfriend realise that buying you chocolate won't make you happy but rather annoyed (because you will be tempted to eat some).  So point him/her towards other things you might rather get.  Think flowers, a gift card, a good book, a card, a hug or a kiss (I rather have a hug or a kiss anyways).

2) Don't stop yourself from going to the restaurant if that's what you want to do.  As I said many times before, you can still have a life even though you are tracking what you're eating!  So plans ahead!
                     - Do a quick workout that day so you'll have extra activity points;
                     - Look at the menu online (if available) and choose wisely before going. 
                     - If you are really hungry because your restaurant reservation is later in the evening,                 
                       eat something before going! We tend to make poor choices when we are hungry because
                       everything looks good on the menu;
                     - Stay away from words like "creamy", "buttery" and "fried".

3) Have fun! Valentine's day should be about spending some quality time with someone you love.  Whether it be your boyfriend/girlfriend, a family member or a friend.  So enjoy your night and do something fun!  Go bowling, go to the movies, go shopping, go for a walk, etc.  As long as you are enjoying each other's company, that's what counts!

Late updates

Good Day Teaspoons! 

Sorry I haven't wrote anything in the last couple of days! Being back home meant spending time with my family and friends and I didn't take the time to write anything down. 

But here I am today, writing again. It's not because I haven't been writing that it means I lost my way on this journey! Friday, I spent the whole day skiing with my mom. It was so much fun seeing her again and spending quality time together. The weather and the snow were perfect for skiing! We had a great time on the mountain. That night, I went to a friend's house! I resist the wine to have enough points to eat a few tortillas chips with guacamole. I had to go into my extra weekly points but it was worth it! Saturday, some friends and I went to the market. I had some Babimbe, which is rice with beef. I estimated it was about 12 pts. We did some errands all day my friends and I then decided we wanted to eat supper together. Since they all know I'm on a diet, they agreed to get some groceries, split the bill and cook a healthy meal all together. Everyone helped and we had a great time! 

Now I'm on the boat again heading back home. I ate some oatmeal and a banana on the boat this morning and had a nice coffee! The sun is shining and the water is calm. It looks like it's going to be a great ride.

            Here I am with my coffee! 

Hope you had a great weekend with love ones too! 

Until tomorrow, keep on tracking!
