Happy Sunday, girls!
Still getting on my scale first thing in the morning. It's stayed at 131.0 - 131.6 for the past couple of weeks. Guess I haven't built enough muscle yet to affect the scale, but I'm certainly trying!
My dear hubby brought me some roses today.

Hi ladies! We had some sleet this morning but then the sun came out and it looked so pretty with the snow (only) on the tops of the mountains.
I've been seriously craving junk and high fat foods. Feeling a bit deprived I guess. At home we only occasionally eat meat and I've even stopped buying lunchmeat for a sandwich at lunch. But today I went shopping and bought some liver pate and some lean ground steak. I've been thinking about a cheeseburger for a couple of months and haven't had one yet. So I'm going to make one for lunch after I use up my veggie sausages. I'll stay within calories.
Went to the health food store and bought the oat bran to make the scones and I'll do that tomorrow morning.

Good morning, lovely ladies! Here's a sunrise for you that I shot from the front porch in my robe, brrrr
Went to Zumba last night. I was the only newbie there so the rest seemed to know most of the moves. More complicated moves than I thought. I can see it would be fun once you know the moves. Guess I did some overaggressive hip thrusting or something as I've hurt one side of my lower back. Don't plan to go back to an evening class but discovered there is an early afternoon class with another instructor. So I'll try to work that in with my gym visits once I rejoin in early March.
When I came home I threw my good intentions out the window and had a semi-binge - pbj toast, packet of baked crisps, 2 portions of dark chocolate, hot chocolate. Total cals for the day was still okay, but eating all that at that time of night wasn't good. Stayed up later than normal.
Yesterday morning I enjoyed an hour and a half Skyping with my sis in law in Australia. I love feeling so connected!
Couldn't find oat bran for my scones but hub is going into town today and I've asked him to hunt. If he finds it I'll make some this afternoon.

One of the avocados is finally ripe so I'll add a bit of that to my salad.
Hubby couldn't find any oat bran so I phoned the health food store and they have it. So hope to get some tomorrow and maybe some other baking ingredients and some new vegetarian stuff for variety.
I was going to order the oat bran online but the cost of shipping was outrageous. £3.50 for 3 bags of oat bran and £6.97 just for the shipping! Don't think so!

Zumba looks like so much fun. Unfortunately, it only seems to take place once a week at my gym, on Wednesday nights during my personal training session. Right now, the class is jammed pack with women with new years resolutions to lose weight. Its hard to find a parking spot on Wed nights because of these gals! :) Thats ok though. Its nice to see so many people excited about exercise.
Glad you were able to fine the oat bran somewhere. Its so easy to find here!
Good morning, girls! Happy Robbie Burns Day to all Scots! (national poet of Scotland)
Enjoy your time at Zumba!
Hiya ladies! How's 2012 going for everyone so far?
I looked back over my goals for 2012 and the only two I'm doing well on are my workouts and maintaining weight, and reading more books (on new Kindle). I have not meditated once but I'm going to remedy that today.
I miscalculated my calories yesterday and left out the ones for walnuts and sunflower seeds so am doing just a bit lower today. Eating the last two of my homemade oatmeal raisin cookies and not planning any baking for quite a while.

Don't know if it's the gloomy weather but I just wanted to keep eating after I finished my lunch. It wasn't satisfying. I wanted something hot so I made a Quorn patty - 119 cals - then I had black coffee with one of this evening's cookies. Sigh. And I still want more, but I won't. Already had today's salad as part of my lunch, so hope I'm not starving tonight! May have to juggle calories again, or maybe it's time to go up to 1800, at least on intense workout days like today??

It's good to see you're flexible with things--hope you get in your meditation session.
Keep on rolling with it--cheers!
Hi ladies! Sunny today but still cold - high about 7C/42 F. Felt like eating some junk today, but no guilt. I'm within calories and I'll soon finish the batch of oatmeal raisin cookies and probably won't be doing any more baking for a couple of weeks.
Went for a stroll around the garden to see what was blooming. The daffodils starting blooming a couple of weeks ago (about 6 weeks early) and are still fine even with many nights near freezing. Snowdrops and other daffodil stalks have been showing for a while now. Made the collage with Picnik but am unhappy to learn they will be closing in April. Now I need to find another photo editing site.

Im so scared to bake sweets, even if they are nutritiously dense ones. Its so incredibly hard for me to have just one, so I usually reserve baked desserts for special occasions/holidays. However, I think its great that you were able to fit your treats into your calorie budget. :)
Cheers, ladies! Hope you all are having a good weekend.

Hi ladies!
Change of plan yesterday when we got invited to dinner at friends' house. The friend's brother and wife were up visiting from England and we really enjoyed ourselves. In fact, didn't get back home until after 1am. I ate pork, haggis, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli & carrots, roll with lite margarine, small piece of applie pie with wee dollop of cream, a couple of pieces of the Ghiradelli chocolate we'd brought them from the US, 3 glasses of wine, 2 crackers with a chunk of cheddar. Dinner wasn't going to be served until 8pm so I had a bowl of bran flakes and two of my oatmeal raisin cookies before we went. Ok, maybe went a bit overboard on my splurge. Anyway....
I've worked out every day for the last 7 so I'm taking a rest day. Keeping the calories low today and will increase tomorrow.

The dark chocolate and wine really sound appealing! I decided next week would be my first "treat" and I think I will go with the dark chocolate and red wine!! Your workouts are inspirational. I think your flowers are beautiful and you are very lucky to have such a thoughtful hubby! Have a great day!
