My husband got a 6 month gift membership when I joined in November but he couldn't cash it in until last week. We went together and took the kids to the gym daycare. I haven't been utilizing this daycare situation because my membership only allows one kid. The other one costs me $3.
I was freaking out about leaving them....because I've never left them with Non-family or non-friends before. My freaking out was for naught (even though the daycare lady spoke limited english)....they loved it, didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back.
I need to find $40 in my budget for monthly gym daycare.
Hubby and I didn't work out together. But it was comforting having someone in the gym that I knew. And it's really entertaining to watch your husband look for you in a crowded gym.
I don't know if I can stand this man getting any sexier....

Before we left the gym I asked one of the trainers about getting my body fat measured. She ushered me into a little room after weighing me and punched my info into a video game controller with metal handles that she then had me hold for 10 seconds. One nice thing...she looked visibly surprised when I told her I was 40. The bad news....I have 40.3 percent body fat.
I really, really need to find money in my budget for daycare....
After our workout we went to The Village Inn across the street. It was probably a bad idea because my LOSEIT app didn't have a listing for any of their food and I checked online after we ordered and had trouble finding any nutritional info.
We went with the Healthy Start Crepes...they are new to the menu as of last Monday and they contain egg whites, turkey sausage, artichoke hearts, spinach, tomatoes and covered in a lemony hollandaise sauce. It came with fruit too. Out of season cantaloupe, grapes and pineapple.

I ate the fruit, some of the crepe and hollandise and then just the inside of one of the crepes. I got full fast and left a lot!
I've emailed The Village Inn to ask for nutritional info....so far I haven't heard from them. In the meantime, I don't think I'll be eating there again.
It's hard to know if a meal is really healthy without the numbers. You know what I mean?
I'm addicted to apps and enter my food and exercise into several of them everyday. There is also one that i just track my weight with a date goal. It does some analyzing. I'm all about analyzing...I'm a Virgo after all. Here is what this app told me this weekend.
At this rate, I can reach my Target Weight of 190 pounds on 9/28/2015!
Basically...I suck!
UPDATED: Village Inn wrote me back and said they don't do nutritional data for their menu items....but thanks for inquiring. I won't be dining at Village Inn until they get their act together.

2015?! That's messed up!
ReplyDeleteYou don't suck. You can meet your goal sooner then 2015. It is only 13.8 lbs after all!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you can figure out how to work daycare into your budget. Maybe the gym has a family rate where you can have more then one kid, or if your husband got a separate membership then he could also have 1 kid. Other ideas are to see if any friends or workout buddies at the gym have a free kid pass that they aren't using that you can utilize.
Good Luck!
First of all, you do not suck and if you say that again I'll have to smack you. Second of all, yay you for making conscious choices while eating out because that is a big step in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteSo... when you don't know the nutritional info on something here is what you can do to get a good idea break down the ingredients and enter them that way to get a rough calorie count.
I hope you are able to find the extra $ to use the childcare... perhaps skipping the McDonald's drinks? lol
One of my apps projects when I'll lose the weight. Thankfully it varies everytime I input a new weight but sometimes it says "never'.
ReplyDeleteOuch.
Ok. You aren't going to like me for saying this - but it's true. We are what we eat. You know this and I know this. I actually LOSE weight when I take a few days off from exercise, because I lose muscle mass. But I am SO HAPPY when the scale budges! Really.
ReplyDeleteIt is really REALLY hard to cut back on all the foods we want to eat for the length of time it takes to make a big difference. I was doing pretty good up until Christmas and then ate a ton of crap during that week through New Year's, and I'm back right where I started. Don't give up eating out - give yourself one day a week as a 'free' day - but don't make it a huge free-for-all either :) Maybe just take it easy for dinner?
The exercise does help - but it's what we put in our mouths that makes the biggest difference. And man, do I HATE feeling like I have to 'deny' myself all the time :) I could live on chips & salsa and jalapeno poppers. And wine and chocolate. And gummy bears. Could you imagine??
love you!
Uh, what's up with that app? You will lose the weight FAR before then!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever recieve the nutrition information for the Healthy Start crepes at Village Inn? I've been searching everywhere for the facts and found your story. I just ate the Healthy Start crepes (most of it at least) and thought it couldn't possibly be healthy! I wasn't expecting such a large portion or all the sauce...but it was soo good :P. I'd really be interested in hearing if you've gotten the nutrition info. Also, keep working toward your goal; you'll get there! Don't become frustrated if it doesn't happen right away, although it'll definitely work for you before 2015 ;)
ReplyDeleteThey wrote me back and said that they don't do nutritional info on their menu items.
ReplyDeleteVillage Inn FAIL!
