*FOOD-SWAP-FINDS*
I have always loved me some McDonald's breakfast. My favorite is the sausage egg mcmuffin which comes at a hefty 450 calories, 27g of fat and 10g saturated fat - YIKES!
I found a healthier alternative which is quick and easy to make in the morning. Maybe even faster than going through the drive through to get fast food!
It is a sausage egg flat bread sandwich made by Special K. I thought the taste was good (less greasy) and the savings in calories (-210) and fats (-16 and -6 saturated) definitely make it worth the SWAP!

2013 - Healthy Reset
Clear your mind of can't. -Samuel Jackson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes I just love being so cliche. Nothing like a New Year to reset and begin new again. After a long 5 months of feeling bad about myself and letting myself gain too much weight it is time for a new start. My sister-in-law and I have put together a healthy weight loss challenge adapted from this.
It involves not just losing weight, but putting in place a healthy lifestyle rewarded with points and of course a chance for some $$$$! I will keep you posted as I begin on this new challenge and if you want to get involved give me a shout! Taking the before pictures tonight...ugh!

12/23/12-Santa Hustle - this was a fun, but difficult race. Much of it was spent in crowds of people running on ice so I had a very slow time (just over 32:00) but all things considered was extremely happy that I did this:
12/11/12 - Oh have I been slacking! With everything going on lately I have been a total slacker when it comes to being a decent fit and healthy person. I came to this realization awhile ago, but finally came to a breaking point after seeing an unflattering photo of myself! Ouch! The tough thing is I get all fired up to get in shape and then I have an IUI or a surgery and get scared to do "too much". However lately I have just been flat out lazy lately!
So I decided to sign up with my sister-in-law for this: http://www.santahustlemilwaukee.com/
I have been doing short runs off and on lately so I really need to buckle down and get ready!
I want to track my workouts here:

December = 500 Minutes of Cardio Challenge
This December I decided to challenge myself (along with a friend :) ) to do 500 minutes of cardio in December. This is roughly :30 4x per week (not too crazy). Setting a goal to challenge yourself is a great way to motivate yourself to get to the gym when it is so cold and dark outside. Anyways, I will keep you posted!

12/13/11 - 275 minutes to go!

Congrats on your half marathon! I can't even imagine. I'd like to start running and being more active (perhaps it'll help us in the baby department!) Hope you can help with pointers!
