Ummm..not so much

So a little while ago I wrote that I was getting serious about getting back in shape. I was hoping to give Friday updates..mostly as a way to hold myself accountable, but this weekend was a little crazy so my apologies.  I'll get back on track next week.

How am I doing?

Well..to be candid...I suck at this. Halloween candy is just TOO tempting.  Plus, the more I work out the more I rationalize that I can "treat" myself.  Nice, right?   I don't have a scale and have never been a freak about weighing myself, but lets just say I'm not feeling any healthier or thinner.

Since we've been in a recipe rut and eating better is part of getting back in shape, I've been cooking more.  Last night, I decided to try something new and healthy.  I found a great cooking light recipe and had B pick up everything we needed at the store.  I started prepping...red peppers, green peppers, chicken, pasta, half a stick of butter, 1.5 cups of half and half.  Wait..what?!  Turns out my "cooking light" recipe was actually from southern living.  Fail!  But...it was delicious ;)  (The recipe, if you want it, is here.  I think you could totally use less butter and fat free half and half)

In more positive news..I'm down to 15 post-its...wooo!   I am a little nervous about staying on track when we go here next weekend for B's 30th b-day.  But let's just take it one day at a time right?   B and I have been trying to walk more and we've made it twice this week.  Walking is one of my favorite things that we do together...we get to exercise and talk and laugh for an hour.  I think it's a sentimental thing, too.  My parents walked every night (and still try to) and I used to join them in high school.  I love that we're able to do that together, too.  (PS - how cute are the post-its..a gift from my maid of honor, love!)

It's all good...I've got
