Candy Corn M&M NSV

Candy Corn M&Ms.  Does anyone else love them as much as I do?!?!  Most people I know, hate them, with a passion.  Me on the other hand, I cannot get enough of them.  If I buy a bag, it is usually gone within 2 days.  Therefore, I try not to buy them since they're not to good for a healthy diet.

You're probably wondering why I'm blabbing on about Candy Corn M&Ms.  I am doing so because they play a part in my NSV for this week.  My step dad bought me a bag on Saturday, and instead of eating the entire thing in one sitting, I have actually been controlling my portions!

One serving is 23 M&Ms and costs me 220 calories.  I have been a very good girl though, and have only been eating 12 at a time which runs about 115 calories.  After I had my portion last night, I stared at the bag for a while, wanting more.  Instead, I was strong, folded the bag up, and put them back in the cupboard.  Because of my self-control, I am going on day 6 of having the same bag which is still about 1/3 full.

Anyone that knows me, knows this is a huge accomplishment.  I have a ginormous sweet tooth that usually gets the best of me.  Nick & I have not even bought Halloween candy yet because I'll probably eat it all, and Nick doesn't feel like taking the time to hide it from me.  When we buy stuff for s'mores, Nick hides the chocolate bars until we actually have a fire to make proper s'mores.  It's hysterical, and a little bit sad, that I am 26 years old, and I need to have candy hid from me.

I hope everyone else is rocking some great NSVs!

Wednesday Weigh-In

Good morning, lovelies!

Another positive weigh-in this week.  Down from 172.3 to 171.7.  Not a huge loss, but a loss all the same!

There are only 19 days left in my Diet Bet, and I still have 5.1 lbs to lose.  Completely doable, but I need to stay focused and on track the next few weeks.

As for Ashlee's 150 miles in 15 weeks, I logged my first 2.30 miles last night.  

I went grocery shopping after work so I didn't get home until almost 8.  Nick made dinner, and had already eaten, so after putting groceries away, I sat down to eat by myself.  After eating, Nick wanted to watch an episode of Breaking Bad.  We're only in season 3, and I'm addicted, so I couldn't say no.  

By the time the episode was over, it was past 9.  We're old people in the fact that we're usually in bed by 9/9:30...in our defense though, we get up at 5:30!  I really just wanted to curl up and go to sleep, but instead, I made myself get up and take the dogs for a 40 minute walk.  

I also chipped away a tiny bit of my goal for burning 3500 calories this week.  I may have only burned 204 calories, but at least it's something!  Only 3296 to go...

I'm taking the challenge. Will you?

Ashlee over at A Step in the Right Direction has proposed a challenge.  A great challenge to encourage activity and get your booty moving.  The challenge is to log 150 miles in 15 weeks.  You can get your miles in by running, walking, jogging...anything that gets you moving!

The obvious break down of the challenge is to do 10 miles a week.  All in all though, it is completely up to you as to how many miles you do each week.

Head over to Ashlee's post to read more, grab the button, and join the challenge!
