I am off today for the presidential doo-hickey, but it isn't a very relaxing day with the contents of my two upstairs bathrooms in my bedroom and the hallway. The workers aren't here yet, I assume they are delayed by the snow we had last night and the fact that all the local schools are opening late. I have been running around this morning trying to find the correct tile to fix the shower, but no such tile can be found anywhere, so when they get here I will ask for the next best option and run to get that. I will also get our new vanities, I already picked up the light fixtures. Can you tell how excited I am about the new bathrooms? And they look great so far, I can't wait to see them finished!
As a treat on my day off, I went to *$s and got a iced skim mocha. I am counting it as 4 points, 2 for the milk and 2 for the chocolate. The caffeine induced happiness is free free free.
We may get a nasty snow storm this weekend. Not to sound selfish, but I really hope not, I so want to try jazzercise out on Sunday. If it comes, I will walk on the treadmill (assuming i can get to it, the workers have set up shop downstairs.) Next week, my goal is to start exercising. I would like to start with 4 days a week. Mike and I will alternate days so I will exercise 3 days during the week, he will exercise 3 different days, and one day of the weekend we will do something together or both exercise separately.
I have been thinking a lot about WW points lately. We figured out the formula to calculate them on our own without the slide rule thing. If you just look at calories, then 1 point equals about 50 calories, so 30 points a day would get you 1500 calories. Sounds like a reasonable diet. But, then for every dietary fiber up to 4 you get to subtract 10. Isn't that strange? Can we not digest dietary fiber, but it is included in the calorie count? Basically, I could be eating up to 2200 calories a day or more with high fiber foods. The whole thing makes me think I should just count calories. I will keep it up though, as long as it is working.
