Weekly workout challenge, weight update, and Randomness

I'll start with this weeks workout challenge. If Pushing an actual push mower (not a self propelled one, and actual you must push or the mower won't go push mower) counts as a workout I complete 345 min this week! If not then I completed 295 minutes. I am still not meeting my min goal at the gym of 300 min. I should be at the gym for at least an hour a day 5 days a week. Ok it went like this:

Monday-60min elliptical
Tuesday-30 treadmill, 20 stair stepper (forgot how hard those are), 20 min walk/run w/ the kids. Have you ever tried to pace yourself with a 4 yr old on a bike? My kid is kicking my booty!
Wednesday- I had a dental apt, so nada at the gym but 20 min walk/run w/ the kids
Thursday-65 min elliptical, 20 min weight lifting, 50 min cutting the grass w/ an actual push mower
Friday-60 min elliptical

For next week I am shooting to hit at least 360 at the gym. I have looked over my calender there are no apts so I should at least be there for my min 60 min cardio a day, and my goal is to add weights to M/W/F and hopefully at least 3-4 walks w/ the kids and I really need to get to adding the leg lifts back into my everyday schedule. But for now I am shooting for a min of 360 next week

Weight update: Monday had me at 216 which means I was down a lb, but by Wednesday I was up to 219! and nothing had changed!!!! But it is that TOM so I am hoping that was the issue and decided I would go w/ Monday's weight of 216. I have not added it to my tracker yet though because I will wait till next week. I did however I add it to my WW online info and since I lost a lb I lost a point =( that was kind of a bummer. So anyway we will see what this Wednesday has to offer although I am not hoping for much as it will still not be the "best" weight in time for me.

Total Randomness, but I went to the store today because I wanted to buy a scale that kept track of my weight in smaller increments, thinking that is I could see even the once change maybe that would make me feel better. The cheapest one they had was $18 and although I can offed $18 I was sitting there in the aisle at target thinking, "I already have a scale that works fine, do I really want a new scale? or jeans are on sale this week for $19.99 do I want new Jeans?" I think it is clear to anyone reading this blog I of course bought new jeans. they are pretty snug.  I always wear a bigger size at target then anywhere else. The 18 fit when you buy them but they stretch so much that I bough the 16's because I know they will stretch and honestly I wouldn't have bought any as I would like to be a smaller size but it is cooling off and I have to have something to wear. So I have a pair of jeans lol.

Ok so if any of you are WW followers share your fav recipes! I am trying to figure out things I can eat and that my family can eat without the whole house being on a diet.

Ok well happy Sunday everyone!
