Please take my POLL! And some Caffeinated Randomness Friday


Chilly but SUNNY day in NC today! Supposed to warm up to around 50 today, maybe 60 by Sunday - I can't wait! I need to clean up the deck and yard in a bad way. Or just sit outside and read. :)

Or take a walk! Yes! I want to take a walk with my pups and not freeze half to death. I bought the best invention ever (well, for people with dogs) several months ago and finally got to test it out on the last warmish day we had. A double dog leash - it's wonderful!! No more am I getting tangled up trying to hold two leashes when I take the pups out for a long walk. I highly recommend it if you have more than one pooch.

In other randomness: I'm trying to lose weight. Really, I am. But the stupid scale keeps going up and down the same. two. pounds. every other day and it's frankly bumming me out. Like, totally. :( I think I'm just going to stay off of it for a month or so because inevitably, I get on it and see that it's gone down a bit, get excited, then get on it the next day and it's gone up again, get bummed out and think "Forget it! This will never happen!" I've been going back & forth trying to decide whether to do Body For Life or Weight Watchers. I got in the best shape of my life doing Body For Life several years ago. Then gained 30 lbs due to some medication I had to go on for 10 months. Ugh. And I haven't been able to get it back off again. BfL is INTENSE, and I was eating basically nothing but chicken, brown rice, oatmeal and cottage cheese - which I like, btw - and I was a beast at the gym - working out about 10-12 hours a week - HARD! But I have several friends who have lost, and kept off, tons of weight using Weight Watchers.

So, question: what do you think I should do?? BfL or WW? This is an informal poll and I really do want to hear what you have to say. Please tell me if you've done either, and what your results were with the program!

That out of the way, I think I'll log off now and go do a Walk Away The Pounds DVD. Actually, there are some awesome success stories with WATP, too. So let's add that to the poll, too! Do you do these workouts? If you've lost pounds and inches with it, tell me about it!

So here are the options:
Body for Life
Weight Watchers
Walk Away the Pounds

What say ye, readers??

Balancing Act

Since I have yet another crazy-busy week going on, my blogging is suffering yet again... But! Have no fear, I have my Exemplify post to share with you from a couple of weeks ago. I think I forgot to link up to it here before, so here goes...

I love how God tells me what to write about. I literally sat down to write my Weekly Wednesday Whatever and had NO idea what to put on the paper (errr...on the screen). So I did what I knew would work - prayed! And sure enough, within a minute or so, the idea for Balancing Act started forming. I hope you'll enjoy it, comment on it, and link up to it for your readers! Be sure to check out the rest of Exemplify while you're there - it's an amazing site for Christian women!
