Okay....for the record I may have broken or fractured my foot. I think I forgot to mention that. I had it x-ray'd (is that a word?) yesterday and am waiting to hear back from my doctor. In the meantime she suggested that I stay off of it as much as possible, and NO TREADMILL, doctors orders. Well.....who am I to go against the advice of my physician!
I stayed within my calorie budget for the day, but as the night wore on I got to feeling anxious about skipping a workout. I know me....miss one day and before I know it another 3 months have gone by without so much as a jog to the mailbox.
And then a funny thing happend.....My husband.
Now I'm not saying we did or we didn't, but I will say this.....sex counts! And sex done well should probably count for double. :O)
Just a little something to think about the next time you've missed a workout!

THE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN
Here is the plan if you would like to follow along:
1. figure out how many calories a day you should be consuming
in order to lose weight. (7 calories x your current weight)
This is the net amount per day you should be eating.
Net amount = calories eaten minus calories burned
through excercise.
Example: 2200 calories eaten minus 450 calories burned on
treadmill= 1750 net calories.
2. Try to eliminate or drastically reduce the "white foods" you
eat. White bread, rice, pasta, flour, sugar or anything made
with these ingrediants.
3. Work out 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. No excuses.
(This does NOT have to be done all at one time.)
4. Keep Track of your calorie intake and your exercise and
weigh in only once a week.
That's it. It's just that simple and just that hard all at the same time!! Good luck to us all.
Also- if you would like a template of the Excel spreadsheet calorie and food log that I use, Just send me an email at WeighLessLiveMore@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send that to you.

Coupon Kitchen
A Tasty treat made with this weeks coupon finds:
This week I had a dollar off of Duncan Hines Cake Mix. Last week I had a dollar off of Cool Whip. I bought both.
The cake was on sales for 1.66, so I paid .66
The Cool Whip was on sale for 1.25, so I paid .25
I purchased the Duncan Hines Spice cake mix (It had fewer calories) and instead of making a cake, I made cupcakes. The box said it made 12 servings (based on the cake) at 270 calories per serving, so I did the math. 270 x the 12 servings per box = 3240 for the whole cake. I made 24 cupcakes. 3240 /24= 135 calories per cupcake.
When we're ready to have one I "ice" the top with the cool whip for a cool 10 extra calories. I get a great tasting cupcake treat for only 145 calories! I think kids would love these and not really miss the heavier icing version. :O)
