Week #7!!!

 I finally made it to week #7 of my weight loss journey. I still have a lot to lose. Still fat on my stomach that I'd like to see G O N E!!! I have time before summer. Feb, March, April and May. So even if I just lose 5 pounds a month that is 20 additional pounds lost! I'm hoping for more weight loss at least 10 per month 40 pounds not including January! I'll be under my goal weight at that point! Just have to keep it going. Sometimes it's difficult. 

Yesterday I only worked for an hour. After, Steve and I went skiing in Hastings for an hour. Cross country skiing burns 472 calories per hour. A good amount of exercise/calorie burn!

I would have liked to go to the gym too, but instead we did a few store purchase returns. Plus, I did some quote and Invoices that I needed to get out. 

After Skiing we went to Tuesday night Bingo! 

I was one number away from winning multiple games and finally won double Bingo for a win of $47 dollars which paid for dinner/tip and a little extra bingo cards. I haven't won in awhile, so that was nice! 

We also got there for happy hour prices, saved a few dollars on drinks and got the taco special, which made for a cheap dinner. We also bring our own salsa to make them taste better. 

I felt hungry last night even after eating two taco's without cheese! It sure didn't help smelling all the fried food around me. Always tempting to get a 2nd beer, but I didn't. I stuck to my pre-planned meal/calories. Still ate above 500, at 850 for the day. 

Lunch- popcorn 3 cups 130 calories

Dinner - 2 beef tacos on soft tortillas 500

1 beer 180

1 small cutie 40

Today, work will be around 3- 4 hours = 400 calories burned

I want to ski this afternoon another 470 calories burned

Maybe go to the gym for a massage and to lift weights tonight. 

I also have to start doing our taxes, some data entry. Working on it a little every day. First I need to sort the bags and go through the receipts to make sure they are in the correct pile. It aways feels great when this yearly project is done! 

Logan left yesterday morning at 6 am with two friends to drive down to Alabama to stay with another friend for the week. They arrived at 11:15pm last night! 15 hours of driving with some stops for gas and dinner took an extra almost 2 hours on to the drive. He will either come back Sunday or wait till Monday. I'm thinking they will be going out Saturday night, so will not leave by 6am, might as well rest up and come home Monday. He goes back to college in Milwaukee, Sunday. We plan to drive him back and will stay in the dells for the night at the Casino. I got a $100 deal for the night. Much cheaper then staying in the city with an additional parking fee and of course hotels are more expensive.
