Happy Monday!

Hello there bloggers. Welcome back to Monday. I hope everyone's day has been at least as good as mine, if not better. That's not to say that I have had a wonderfully fabulous day, but it hasn't been bad. That's more than I can say for some previous Mondays. Today, my little brother and I went to go see The Green Hornet at the dollar theater. I have to say I was rather good snack-wise! I took some carrot and celery sticks with some ranch dressing mix (just the powder) and a serving of cheerios. I have a weakness for popcorn, so I was especially proud of my restraint.

I have not gone to the gym yet today. I had a hard time getting going this morning. I woke up with a sinus migraine, took some meds, and went back to sleep! When I woke up again, my headache was gone, but I got busy with other stuff and blah blah more excuses. I'm not giving up on going today, though! If all else fails, I can always do a walking video later. The only reason I'm not going rightthisverysecond is because I just ate, and I'd rather not be sick.

I keep forgetting to a) take a picture of my weight in the morning and b) set a new goal. The reason I haven't been taken pictures of my weight is because it's not changing. While Ms. Skinny-Pants has lost almost 20 pounds, I haven't even lost 10. Part of me is really discouraged, but then I think about the amount of stress that I've been under lately. I'm one of those lucky people that holds on to my fat when I get stressed out. I think I could probably stop eating completely (no, I haven't and I wouldn't!) when I'm under pressure and still not lose a pound. So I'm still logging my food, and trying to make it to the gym as much as possible. So my goal for the next 2 weeks is to workout at least 10 times. That's five times a week. I'm including today in that 2 weeks, so I'd better not waste it!

Alright... I'm not quite ready to go to the gym yet, but sitting here blogging isn't working off anything! Later all!

**EDIT** I bought a new exercise DVD tonight after I posted this. I did the workout tonight, and it really kicked my booty! That takes care of today!
