Results: Week Two

A lovely picture of the Sears Tower, er, Willis Tower from my office window.  Yeah, I can't see it either.  GO AWAY SNOW!

Well, my weight is exactly same this week.  This is pretty typical during that one lovely week of the month where I cry at commercials and greeting cards.  I am not kidding, that commercial with Dan Jansen just slayed me this week.  His sister Jane dies and he wins a medal six years later and carries his daughter Jane?  Pass the tissues, please.

THE GOOD: 
  • Still no Diet Coke!
  • Have gotten into the cooking at home habit
  • Tons of vegetables and fruit
  • Worked out four times last week
  • Those chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels lasted four days in my cabinet, which has to be worth some sort of Olympic medal.  I'm not saying gold, but maybe a bronze.

THE NOT SO GOOD
  • I think on Saturday I would have eaten my arm if I could have dipped it in chocolate.  I am going to blame it on my hormones.  In my defense, his daughter Jane!  I mean, please, who could handle that without chocolate?????
So, yeah, I think overall I'm doing pretty well.  The plan this week is more of the same, although hopefully with less weeping and googling of "Send Dan Jansen Sympathy Card."  I have big plans to visit the new produce place that Kim recommended and to try some of the fruit ideas you guys were kind enough to give me.  I'm also going to research places to move where it never snows, ever.  That island on "Lost" really doesn't look so bad, although the whole traveling through time thing could get a little annoying.

Same view, last July.  Someday the sun will be out again, so they tell me.

I tend to find weeks where I maintain just as victorious as weeks where I lose. :)

I dig Cermak. So does yelp! Hopefully you do too. Went there tonight, actually. Lots of fruit and veggie goodness for < $10 that'll actually last the whole week. (Take that, Stanley's.)

Still, I can't wait until the summer farmers' markets come back. Nothing beats that.

I am going to head over there either this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm also ridiculously excited- I love Stanley's but I do end up having to throw 25% of it away.

I need to get into the farmers' market. I live right near the one in Lincoln Park but I have only gone once. I am terrible at avoiding the hard sell so I try to avoid stuff like flea markets and carnival barkers ;)

The commercial gets me every time, and I am not an emotional person at all! Maybe it is because I am from WI and we heard so much about him and his family. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Jess! Glad I'm not the only weepy one.
