Latest Healthy Find: Giant bottles of Smart Water. It sounds so stupid, but anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a sucker for a gimmick. Smart water has all sorts of sassy and snarky comments as benchmarks down the side of the bottle and it makes me laugh so I end up drinking more. HEY! Whatever works!!!
What I tried: Weight watchers, Atkins, Moderation, Stress
Size fluctuation: I'm one of those people that has difficulty striking a balance between healthy living and going off the deepend one way or another. I have to be super careful on both ends of the scale. My size fluctuation from my biggest to smallest NOT including pregnancy would be 10 to Double Zero.
Theories I live by: I don't want to be in a car accident and die having been on a diet that day.
Current Weight: I don't really weigh myself, but I'd guess about 120.
Eating habits: I'm a poor planner lately so I've been eating out WAY too much. I would like to start planning better and grocery shopping so I can eat a bit healthier.
Exercise: My true love is Yoga and I also like to do the eliptical trainer because I find it is the only cardio machine that is easy enough on my knees. I'm shooting for a minimum of three times per week.
Start Weight: At the highest 142, after my last baby. At the lowest, I stopped measuring but it was well under 100 pounds.
I Can't Resist: Creme Brulee. Oh. My. God.
Indulgences: I love the smoothies at Sweet Peas in Los Gatos. They are actually pretty healthy, but feel like a real indulgence. It's just milk, yogurt, honey, bananas and strawberries. No sherbert or ice cream like those other nameless smoothie places.
