No More Excuses

Today was an all together GREAT day! I did better on trying to eat my points worth of food; which I'm glad because looking back at yesterday... before supper it was almost like I was starving..and this morning it was like I hadn't eaten enough last night and couldn't wait to fix breakfast!

My totals for today:

• Daily used: 33
  
• Daily remaining: 3
  
• Weekly remaining: 49
  
• Activity earned: 6
  
• Activity remaining: 6
  

Today, while reading through all the blogs that I follow, I came across Chrystal's blog about the Fitbit. I had never heard of it before today, but it seems like a pretty cool little gadget to have!

Here are some of the things that Chrystal explained about it & if you want to visit her blog for the whole thing, her website can be found at the bottom.

FEATURES:

• Steps (The Fitbit Ultra accurately tracks your activity all day long, counting every step you take.)
• Distance (See how many miles (or km) you walk heading to the coffee shop, to lunch, or just around the house.)
• Calories Burned (See how your activity translates into actual calories burned.)
• Floors Climbed (Fitbit Ultra includes an altimeter to track how many floors or hills you climb throughout the day.)
• Flower (Your flower will grow and shrink, depending on how active you've been lately.)
• Clock (With the time at your fingertips, you can work out and still know when you need to be home.)
• Stopwatch (Hold down the button for 2 seconds to time an event, such as a walk, run, or a sleep period.)
• Greeting (Give your Tracker a fun name to easily identify yours vs. your spouse's.

WHERE TO WEAR IT:

• Pocket- Clip your Tracker on your pocket for easy access throughout the day, or slip it inside for protection.
• Waist- The waist is the optimal position to wear your Tracker. A belt holster is included for thicker belts.
• Bra- Women often find the center of the bra to be the most secure and discreet position.
• Wrist (when sleeping)- Slip it into the included Fitbit wristband at night, and find out about your sleep patterns.

So for supper today, I tried my very first Weight watcher recepie from pinterest.

It was pretty yummy! 1/2 cup is only 2pts!
The only thing that I did different is that I cooked them in a rice pot instead of the oven. I'm sure if I would have done them in the oven, they would have been crispier but they were still awesome. If you want to try the recipe, here is the site:

~If you want to do it in a rice pot like I did, follow all the directions except of course but it in a rice pot (make sure to put no-stick spray all inside the pot) and add 2 cups of water (2 cups of water may seem like a lot but there will not be any water left by the time it is finished cooking).

Thought for the day:
