Please be my Guinea Pig

Hey everybody! I previously mentioned to you that I made a new Couch to 5 K podcast. One of my dedicated followers picked all of the new music. He loves the music, but I think it’s a little too slow for running. It has lots of Rock, Grateful Dead and a whole week dedicated to the 80′s.  Most of the artist I’ve never even heard of.   However, I realize that my original podcast is geared toward my age and music demographic.  I want to expand and reach a larger crowd, and help more people.  Is anyone willing to try it out? If you are willing to be my human guinea pig, just leave a comment or send me an email and I’ll let you know how to get a copy of it. Thanks! 

 P.S. PETA lovers please don’t attack me. I just used “guinea pig” as a figure of speech. 

Chicken and Waffle Breakfast

This morning started off with an all you can eat Fried Chicken and Waffle breakfast at church.  I was so apprehensive about it.  I’ve done a really good job of keeping my points these past few days, and I was so scared I might go overboard and eat too much.  My Big Little sister was hosting it, otherwise, I would have skipped it all together.  I took my time in the buffet line and tried to make good choices.  I ate 2 wings, turkey bacon, eggs and one waffle.  I skipped the grits, pancakes, sausage, croissants and orange juice.  The weight watcher program works if you work it.  You can eat everything, just in moderation.  It felt so good to feel in control, especially in a setting like that.  The rest of the day was super busy and I ate at the closest fast food place, Jack in the Box.  I didn’t have time to look up points, so I relied on the menu and the healthy dining symbol.  I got the steak teriyaki bowl.  I figured anything is better than a burger and fries, right?….. WRONG! When I finally got a chance to look it up, I discovered that it was almost 800 calories!!!!   I was so mad.  In what world is 800 calories “healthy dining”???  It tasted good but it wasn’t worth all those points.  I only had 3 points left for dinner.  I drank a lot of water and ate a Healthy Choice frozen meal.  Which ironically enough is actually a ”healthy choice” I ended up only using 2 of my weekly overage points.  Not so bad considering I was bamboozled by Jack in the Box.  Lesson learned, look up the points BEFORE you eat it.
