Non Scale Victories!!

Gooooood morning my dears! Welcome to another fabulous installment of Non Scale Victories! I just ADORE this link up (almost as much as I adore the beautiful hostesses Katie and Lex) ! It takes all of us ladies (and gentlemen) in the weight loss blogging world and completely takes the focus off of the scale. Who cares what the scale says? That little asshole doesn't define you! Beauty isn't measured in pounds!

This week has been (in my big headed not so humble opinion) pretty freakin fantastic in the way of Non Scale Victories. I've finally gotten back into my routine of walking nearly every night. I say nearly because I did take a break on Tuesday due to my leg being sore... I even went on a 3 mile walk last night. After the cupcakes, fried ice cream, and brownies.. I needed that walk. I was in the zone too! It was awesome! Music blaring, 16ish minute mile pace, I was there... It was awesome... Very mind clearing.

I'm also proud to say that I only ate ONE cupcake yesterday... I bought 12... I ate 1.. There are still 11 cupcakes in my parent's house that haven't been touched.. Go me!!

Non fitness related- I started a new book! It's called Moon Called. It's the first book in the Mercy Thompson series. It's Sci-Fi deliciousness.

P.S. I am still putting things together for the April edition of My Favorite Things! Check back tomorrow for the giveaway!

No Zumba = Sad Panda

No Zumba today :( Sad Panda. Our instructor had to run her son to the hospital. Thoughts and prayers go out to Oyuki and her son..

These last few days have been murder on my waistline. Testing season is upon us, and I've been coerced given the privilege of administering the STAAR test for 4th and 5th grade. Tomorrow is my last day (Thank God!), but the dealings for STAAR have thrown my schedule wayyy off. I'm at work at 0730 (normal time for normal teachers, ACE Coordinator gets in around 10) usually without time for breakfast. They serve a snack around 10am and we have lunch at 1130. Unfortunately during the test, I have nothing to do and have caught myself snacking. Also, in lieu of my bowl of Cherrios or fruit I've had Poptarts. Leaving early also means no time to make my lunch :-(. Oh!! Yesterday was my 23rd birthday, so there was cake.. Lots of tasty, icing covered, layer of fat on my ass cake.. Delightful, amazing cake.. Yum.. Needless to say, I ate more cake than necessary.

I'm dragging my James out later tonight to take a walk.. Then yoga or toning. Need to build up my Nexercise points and burn off my morning Poptarts.. I will post pictures tonight after my walk!

There's something to be said for that catchy phrase...

What was that phrase again? Oh yeah... Just do it.. Thank you Nike.

Today was a day of complete and total ridiculousness.. Between having a kid disappear at work to STAAR tests, I was beyond ready to come home and pass out. Like hardcore ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (with the drool and everything). Thanks to James and his awesomeness, instead of a hardcore sleep I had a tasty (not very healthy, but tasty all the same) dinner and did an hour of workouts. 26ish minutes of walking followed by 42ish minutes of candlelight yoga. It wasn't as much cardio as I should have done, but there's something to be said for increasing flexibility and improving muscle tone.

Short post tonight... Yoga got me all relaxed, now its time for a nice warm shower and ZZZZZZZZZZZZs..

G'night all!

My *ahem* portly weekend...

Oy... I can't have weekends like this too often... I was a major stress eater on Friday and we tailgated this afternoon. Unfortunately there wasn't any water or diet soda at the tailgate :-/ I haven't had a real Dr Pepper in forever! It was almost too much to finish, SO MUCH SUGAR.

Hopefully tonight I'll get some work done and be able to go out on my walk and do some yoga with my fiance.. He's so super awesome.
