I'm BAAAAAAACCCCKKKKKKK.....

So I took a little break from blogging. Actually I think I went into hibernation from the whole blog world.  Sooooo what has changed... Well went and took my shorts out of storage because of this crazy Illinois weather. Its the end of March and we had maybe an inch of snow from the winter, then here in march it's 80º outside!!! Well upon trying on my shorts I found out that I need to order some new ones sometime this spring. I have went from a 44W to a 42/40W and my shorts fall off my arse!! I have made 3 adjustments to my belt (I refuse to get rid of it, ever have something that is so broken in that it feels good just to wear it... Yea thats my belt!)

Well tought mudder and warrior dash is fast approaching! June 16 & 17 will be one hell of a weekend. 4 Miles of obstacles and mud Saturday followed by 13 miles of mud, water, and obstacles on Sunday... What did I sign up for? What was I thinking??? oh well a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I never thought I would be losing the weight I have, Never thought I would enjoy running (currently in a love/hate relationship) NEVER thought I would enter a race that I had to sign a wavier that said I acknowledge that I can break bones, sprain mussels, or even paralyze myself. When I read that I knew this was the race for me haha.

This week at WW I had a 1.8 lb loss. Good news it was a loss and am shooting for 5 lbs this week! Have alot of working out to do. Started to ride bikes with my wife. So now my after work workout schedule looks like this: Get home change go for a run (between 2-4 miles) walk our dog (1-2 miles) then ride bikes in the evening (no set distance), my morning workout usually starts at 5:30 AM it includes elliptical (30 min) Jacobs Ladder (15 min) then free weights (45 min). Those of you who have not tried out a Jacobs Ladder it looks easy but man is it a workout! It works like climbing a ladder at a 55º angel and goes as fast as you do. Sounds easy I thought wow first few times I could barley go 5 min! Now I can do 15 min without looking like an uncoordinated arse...

well till next time here is a snack for you... This can work with all kinds of fruits. Just remember to divide how many you end up with into 6 to get your points total

Yogurt Blueberries

2 Cups Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt (blue cup) Honey Flavor (3pts per cup)
1 Carton fresh Blueberries (I had 60 berries in mine)

Directions:
Stick a berry with a toothpick and dip/swirl in the yogurt and use a second toothpick to push it off onto a cookie sheet.

Do all of them and place in the freezer. After an hour you can pop them off the cookie sheet and into a plastic baggie.

(I actually dumped my yogurt in a mixing bowl and added the blueberries and used a wooden spoon and mixed them all together and used toothpicks to take them out and put on a cookie sheet to freeze...to each their own haha)

6 pts / 60 Berries = 0.1 pts per
10 Berries = 1 pt...
