This could only happen to me

I wore my new fitbit for exactly 24 hours and as I was out running errands, I looked down and...nothing. It was gone. It fell off my wrist.

No more fitbit.

when at first you don't succeed...

I didn't like the Jawbone, so I have now purchased the Fitbit. First off, it is SO MUCH more comfortable than the Jawbone so that makes me happy. I have loaded the application and I am all set. Add me to your friends list if you have one.

The device will:
Track steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes.
It has a little LED that shows your progress throughout the day.
Monitors sleep and wakes you up with a silent alarm.  (????)

Let's see if tracking steps makes a difference.

More Treats!

I was recently reading a story and it mentioned non caloric treats.  Treats that you give yourself on a regular basis that don't have any calories. So, I was thinking of some things and it was really difficult to come up with a list.  (Having zero or little cost is also a major win but not necessary.)  Here is a list of a few things I thought of...

-Watching a movie that I have seen a million times
-Going to a Packer or Badger game
-Jewelry
-Making my hot boyfriend strut around in a Favre jersey (if I had a hot boyfriend)
-I still love the firefighter giving me a Tiffany box but I need to change the goal since I am not running anymore. How about when I hit ONEderland? (Technically, I would get the charm when I weighed 192.8.)  Hmmm.... this is a really good non caloric treat.

This is a very difficult thing for me.  Treats = food.  Really, treats = desserts.

I need to think about this more and reward myself more.

Monday Motivation

Weigh In

I am very proud to say I lost 1.5 pounds this week and went to the gym every day. And for the first time, I have kept to a weights training schedule! I have hit the beginners goal in 4 of the 6 areas. I am behind on squats and lunges. Lunges have always been really difficult for me - I think it is a balance thing.

While I was doing my lunges, the gym manager came in and said, "Victoria, I know they are hard but they are great for you! They'll give you a JLo butt!"  I had to laugh. Do I want a JLo butt? I want LESS butt, not a round butt!

Next weigh in day is my birthday. While I am a little bummed as my goal was to be to 199 by then and I am nowhere near that, I am happy that I am back on the ball.

Funny Friday (on Saturday) :)

You have 10 days to pre-order your Vessyl

I am a little obsessed -  https://www.myvessyl.com?referral_token=eo4cIlObFZBLt9ZKvCmWQA

Tim sent me a link to this cup about a month ago. You have to take a look. It is a cup that you can put anything into.  You can drink a beer, cocktail, smoothie, shake, juice - ANYTHING! And it will give you a caloric and nutritional breakdown and send it to your phone!

Is that the coolest thing you have ever heard of? YES!

What a great way to track your drinking calories (which you aren't suppose to be doing anyway!) It will really stop you from having a second or third whiskey old fashion!

They don't come out until 2015 but you need to order now for the half price amount.  Please use the link above if you are interested as I get a referral.

SO COOL!!!
