I know, I know, third post of the day. . .

But it's really helping me to blog at night in my bed instead of hang out downstairs near the fridge!!!

BTW - I have absolutely decided I am not ordering Vitalicious again.  On top of my earlier comment about them not really being worth how expensive they are. . . . I remember now why I don't keep any chocolate in the house.  BECAUSE I WILL EAT IT ALL, regardless of how good/not good it is.  I ended up having 3 Peanut Butter Chocolate Vitatops in a row!!!  Luckily, they ended up being 5.5 points altogether, so I still stayed within my daily points.  And I did an hour on the elliptical again tonight, still in the fat burn zone.  I can't really get in the cardio zone if I'm reading a magazine on the elliptical, but I get too bored without one.  Anyway, very excited about getting my HRM!!!

This is the Heart Rate Monitor I bought - in case you were wondering.  I wanted one that would display carlories burned and the customer reviews sounded good.  I'll be sure to give you the 411 when I get it in the mail.

Oh, and one more thing!  My health insurance plan covers a weight loss program through plan!!!  I get assigned to a personal weight loss coach, and we have phone consultations every two weeks.  I got all this info in the mail (big workbook, a pedometer, a few worksheets to fill out about goals, etc..) and I'm super excited.  And the best part?  I set a weight loss goal with my counselor next week, and if I reach it, I GET A HUNDRED BUCKS!!  Ok, granted its 100 bucks in my health savings account (like Flex health savings) but it's still a monetary reward!!  So yeah, I talk with her next Thursday morning (Feb 27th) so I'll let you know how it goes!  I'll be interested to hear her take on realistic goals for me. 

PS - I heart American Idol.  A lot. 

PPS - I clearly love my boyfriend entirely too much because I keep checking the score for the Indiana vs. Purdue basketball game.  Nick is an IU alum (twice technically - both undergrad and law school) and I know that he'll be DEVASTED if IU loses.  So I keep checking.  Good lord. 

This is weird

B is a Purdue alum.  I'm not kidding.  On the other hand, I really doubt he cares about the game (or even knows about it?).  I hung out with him tonight -- we made pizza (and my half was healthy) and he didn't mention anything about it, so I assume he isn't into it.  Omg you dropped the L-bomb.  !!!

Anyway, you're right about finding something to keep busy.  If blogging works, keep at it!  anyway, I'm going to sleep.  Have a happy Weds!

yup

He did grow up in indiana.  not too many of us here are natives :-)  another weird coincidence is i'm traveling to baltimore that week for work.  i'm flying back on march 8th though (the saturday).  maybe we'll cross paths somewhere at the airport! 

I have to avoid

almost anything sweet and chocolatey. Or at least I can't have it in the house. I can't tell u how many times I have binged on good tasting and horrbile tasting things because they were sweet or chocolatey. So glad you blogged instead of binged!!!! Way to GEAUX!!!

Awesome about the HRM and about the weight loss program! More incentives to keep working it!
