It's Monday & Goal Setting!

I am feeling much, much better about getting myself back in gear.  I signed up for a 1/2 marathon in June (the Rock-n-Roll Seattle) and my exercise has gotten so much better! :-)  My husband thinks that it was a good idea to sign up for another race.  It gives me a goal to look forward to and I like setting goals! 

The winner is...

After having my hubby pick the number 1 or 2, the winner of the Yoplait gift pack is Mizz White!!  Whoo hoo!!  Please e-mail at weightoflife@gmail.com with your contact info and I will get that out to you!  Congratulations!

Back into the groove…

I worked out today and yesterday.  Yesterday, I worked out at home following the Bottoms Up Workout by SeeJaneSweat (she is 43!!).  It was the bomb, but I’m paying for it today.  My butt and thighs are in pain, but it is a good pain.

Today, I went to the gym and did cardio (elliptical and bike).  I don’t think I could have taken much more.  My thighs and behind need to recover.

Okay, off to get the family ready for the week!!  Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the Yoplait Swap gift package!

Yoplait Light Swap!

Okay you guys, although I have been MIA, I have a give away for those that are still visiting my blog.  It is for Yoplait Light (which I buy and love).   I’m a big yogurt fan and enjoy eating it for breakfast and a snack.  Since Yoplait Light is low in calories, it is a good alternative when trying to lose unwanted pounds.

What you should know about Yoplait Light and ways to burn calories:

Yoplait Light yogurt offers 33 different options to choose from in fruit, pastry and dessert flavors that contain around 100 calories or less, providing endless swapping options.

Visit www.Facebook.com/Yoplait to share your favorite food, exercise and fashion swaps, find recipes and quizzes. Alison Sweeney, host of "The Biggest Loser" and author of The Mommy Diet, offers this Top Swap Tip on how she maintains her weight with a hectic schedule.

• "I'm all about easy solutions, and making simple swaps in my diet helps me lead a healthy lifestyle while juggling everything else. I swap a slice of my favorite red velvet cake after dinner for a cup of Red Velvet Cake Yoplait Light which can save me almost 300 calories, without even thinking about it."

Swap your way to fabulous with the following tips from fashion guru, host of the Style Network's "How Do I Look?" and correspondent for NBC's upcoming series "Fashion Star," Jeannie Mai.

• Swap the bus for a 15 minute walk on the way home, and you can save 60 calories.¹

Where are you?

Sorry that I’ve been away.  There is no excuse, just that I have been focusing on getting my life together.  Still looking for a permanent job and trying to just get my eating and exercise under control again.  I have been so stressed lately with trying to sell our house (we got an offer) and trying to figure out where we go from here. 

Anyway, for the past week I’ve had a cold so I haven’t felt like doing much of anything. I know, I’m such a big ball of fun!  LOL! 

I vow to get back to blogging regularly.  I need something in my life to be consistent.  Hopefully things will change for the better, because I need it.
