I won! -- Wednesday April 6

04.06.05 (2:30 am) [edit]

I never win ANYTHING, so I was super excited to discover a free pedometer in my Special K box today! Apparently one in three boxes has a pedometer... and the first box I picked up kinda rattled a bit, so I bought it. Not sure how accurate it is (it doesn't actually measure your stride length or anything) but still a bonus! And to all those who've been on the 10,000 step challenge... I salute you... I don't know how you did it! I went for my usual 45 min walk expecting to clock up maybe 6 or 7000... but I only made 3500. Bah humbug!

And I've achieved something huge tonight... Miles is at basketball again, I'm all alone, but I haven't binged! Woohoo! Okay so I did eat a bit too much of that delicious Mother Earth salt & vinegar popcorn (mmmm I LOVE salt & vinegar!) but that was because it was bloody YUMMY, not because I was depressed and trying to drown my sorrows. I'm pretty proud of myself, can you tell? lol.

I also challenged myself to make a new recipe for dinner... dahl with yummy toasted turkish bread (found on the Weight Watchers website). It was so good! Filling too.

I'm feeling so motivated reading everyone's blogs... it's so nice to know I'm not the only crazy one out there with a bad relationship with food!

Well, think I'm going to snuggle up in bed with a magazine... until SVU starts, that is. Miles has gotten me addicted to that show!

Hope everyone's having a good night :)

Well done on the free pedometer. I love mine now and wear it everyday (even though I rattle a little bit when I walk around at work. LOL) That recipe sounds beautiful, I love trying new things too! Good luck for the rest of the week!!!
