			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For some time now, I have been hearing about Revolution Money Exchange. The premise of this company is very similar to PayPal. It’s a way to send and receive money through the internet by only using an email address. Best of all…there are <strong>no fees!</strong></p>
<p>I’m not one to try things out first. I tend to sit and observe and then perhaps give something a try. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that they are giving out $25 bonuses right now until May 15th so I kept a very close eye on things <img src="http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I finally felt good enough about the company and their reputation, so I signed up.</p>
<p>Signing up was easy and setting up my web account took less than two minutes. Right away, there was a $25 deposit into my account. In order to access that money, I had to set-up account information and had to give my social security number. That was the big reason why I was sitting back and watching this one.</p>
<p>Here is a link if you want to get your $25 and I&#8217;ll get $10 from your referral. No pressure, only do this if its something you are wanting. But I am having DBF sign up too, so I&#8217;ll get $10 from his referral and we&#8217;ll get a total of $60 between us. I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s enough for a date night <img src='http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/laceyq/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m feeling a little obsessed with the scale lately. I&#8217;ve been Weighing in every morning on my personal scale at home. It&#8217;s been dictating my mood and my eating habits a little too much lately so I&#8217;m gonna break this addiction. I&#8217;m going to try to get into a healthier Weighing pattern. I most likely won&#8217;t be able to WI on Thursday due to a work conflict, and I don&#8217;t really have any other meeting choices, so I&#8217;ll just go a week without WI.  I&#8217;m gonna try to only Weigh Myself every 3-4 days at home. I like doing this to just make sure I am on track. So&#8230;the next time I want to get on the scale will be Thursday (my normal WI day). Then after that I&#8217;ll Weigh one week from today, and try to not weigh until my offical WI day next thursday.</p>
<p>Ok, I feel better now that I wrote it all out. I am still eating healthy, and working out harder and more often than ever, but I feel like if I get on the scale in the morning and it shows me a good number I do good. If it is up at all, or not down as much as I think it is, I&#8217;ve been limiting my food intake and skipping dinner so hopefully the # the next morning is better. I haven&#8217;t been eating all my daily points on some days either which I know is bad&#8230;so I am stopping it NOW.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I signed up for my first 5K, it&#8217;s on May 10th&#8230;that&#8217;s coming up pretty soon.  I would have never thought I would run/jog for leisure. It is really hard for me,  I feel like I&#8217;m gonna pass out, but I love it at the same time.</p>
<p>I have never been a runner. Even in High School when I weighed 105 lbs I still couldn&#8217;t run and ran like a 20 minute mile&#8230;seriously. I just was never fit, never had any muscles, and was lazy. I hated to breathe hard and sweat, so I never did.</p>
<p>I got on the treadmill at the Y last night and I have been doing between 2 and 2.5 miles, jogging about half the distance.  Well last night I went for a total of 3 miles and was jogging for 2 of them :)  YEAH ME! I wanted to test it out to make sure that I could do it without dieing&#8230;and I did! </p>
<p>This 5K will definately be a challenge, but I don&#8217;t have any huge goals or expectations of myself. I just want to give it my all, but finish at the same time. Then I&#8217;ll have a baseline for future &#8220;fun runs&#8221;  (that should be an oxymoron).  There is another local one here in July, so hopefully I will be able to improve my time for that one. I&#8217;ll let you know how it turns out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a great weekend all around. I ate well, had a good time with friends and family. Even went to a movie with DBF, we only go about once every two years believe it or not :)  We saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and thought it was very cute and funny, we&#8217;ll probably buy it when it comes out, and since we only buy like 1 movie a year that says a lot too!</p>
<p>I ate well all weekend, and I had a huge NSV yesterday. We went to a chinese all-you-can-eat buffet, and it&#8217;s such good food. I had one small plate but only choose steamed veggies, steamed shrimp and some white rice. I know that there were probably some oil/butter with the steamed veggies and shrimp, but it was WAY better than the options I usually make. Then as a treat I went back for a tiny 2nd plate that had some sauteed mushrooms, one cheese rangoon, and 2 small pieces of General Tso&#8217;s chicken. The cheese rangoons and General Tso&#8217;s are my absolute favorite. But I filled up on the other stuff so I just wanted to &#8220;taste&#8221; my favorites. It was perfect!</p>
<p>The scale is totally happy with me too. Its down about 3 lbs from last Th WI. I just need to keep it up until Thursday this week and then my loss will be official. I am going to scrutinize everything I put in my mouth to make sure this great loss sticks around :) </p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t been to the gym since last Thursday, so I&#8217;ll be hitting it hard. My goal is to make it there 5 times a week. I only made it there 4 times last week, which is still pretty good. I have a really rough schedule at work this week, but I&#8217;m gonna fit in a workout when I can, If I make it a priority I know it will happen!</p>
<p>Have a great OP Day!</p>

After a week of liquid diet and losing 2.4 pounds when I got my wisdom teeth out last week, once I could chew again I kinda got a little out of hand. </p>
<p>I am determined to be at my lowest weight ever by next WI, which would be a loss of 1 pound. I know I can do it. I have worked out 4 days this week so far. I think today will be my day off, then maybe a good cardio workout on Sat, and some weights again on Sun.  I am determined that I am in this for the long haul, and one little gain isn&#8217;t gonna set me back at all <img src='http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/laceyq/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> Hope everyone has a great weekend!</p>
