Vents and Friday Faves

I love Entrecard. I've used it not even a month, and have found so many great blogs through it. However, am I the only one who gets totally annoyed when I go through my inbox to drop on everyone and have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the widget? It makes me not want to drop. And, what about the ones who don't have a widget? Some I give benefit of the doubt that they're new. But, its annoying to find so many.

Only thing I'm missing today is my dairy. We have 2% milk, and I won't waste my points on it. I did have 1/4 c part-skim mozzarella on my bbq chicken and veggies tonight. So, I guess I'm doing ok.

And, I'm getting ready to have my second rum and diet pepsi! I'm still not over my points.

Today is Friday Faves, and I'm going to share five weight loss websites that I've come across that I plan on returning to (all open in a new window):

Links:

Exercise to Fitness - The latest entry is "10 Reasons to Choose Exercise." I should post this on my fridge.
Diet Recipes - I'm always on the lookout for new healthy recipes.
Lazy Fitness - Some great exercises you can do in seconds, at your desk.
Three Fat Chicks on a Diet - Full of weight loss resources
Hungry Girl - "I'm not a nutritionist, I'm just hungry." I remember when I found her site. I fell in love. Its definitely worth it to sign up for her new letter.

Now, for my top 10 Entrecard droppers in April. I started April 10th. I'm really glad to have found that site. I had no idea how to find blogs otherwise. Thank you all.

Friday Faves

TGIF? Well, being unemployed, the truth is one day is just like the next to me.

But, I'm proud of myself. I've been doing well with my points. OK, so its only Day 3 of my return to Weight Watchers, but I haven't been doing the mindless eating, or making a late-night pb&j sandwich or bowl of cereal.

I'm not quite sure what today's menu brings. Its almost 11 am, and I've yet to eat breakfast. Or shower *sniff*. Usually Friday nights means calling or going out for dinner. Many people get frustrated with weekends. They can't stay on track. I enjoy them. I look forward to weekends because I allow myself one meal per day to have something I don't normally have. Tonight will be pizza or Chinese (or one of the chain restaurants) and liquor. More than likely, the leftovers (and more liquor) will be had tomorrow evening. I don't go buck wild and eat everything. But, this is my treat. I count them in my points. And, I'm a happy girl. You can always add some extra activity/exercise in if you really feel guilty. Do some walking. Play in the park with your kids.

I've designated Friday as the day I will share five new blogs or sites that I've found useful or interesting. These sites most likely will have to do with being healthy. However, I never forget, in order to continue in this lifestyle, we need to make ourselves emotionally happy. So my Friday Faves might include humorous or pamper you sites, or sites that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

In no particular order:

Gina's WW Recipes - This is going to be a favorite of mine for a very long time. I love new, healthy recipes. I've got a small collection of Weight Watcher cookbooks. And, Gina has calculated the points already.

Cranky Fitness - She's a recent find. But, has great advice on nutrition and health, bitches & moans, but makes it oh-so-humorous.

The Fit Shack - One of the first sites I came across as I restarted this journey. I found her through Entrecard, and even if I don't comment every visit. We both suffer with emotional eating, but she's working through hers. Good luck JoLynn!

Liz Harper Fitness - Has an extensive list of articles. Whenever I visit her site, I always forget that I landed there to do my card dropping, and get lost looking through her site. Great info!

HealthNutWannaBeeMom - Heidi always has something enlightening on her page. Vitamins, microwaves, foods to fight wrinkles (at 42, I need to start thinking about those).

OK, my stomach is nagging me. I'm going to go throw some color in my hair, then make oatmeal with raisins for breakfast.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
Do you have problems staying on track during the weekends?
If not, what tips can you offer?
