Today's challenge: There's SOOO much to do today, and it's going to be tough to get in the work-outs.

Actual fitness: My abdominal routine.

Note on picture: This is shrimp Alfredo. Something we cooked up in seven to ten minutes. 1 1/2 cups is only 220 calories.

Note on weight loss: I was thinking that changing how I weighed myself yesterday may have registered a gain. I weighed myself after I ran a 4 mile run and had drank a few cups worth of water. You wouldn't think I'd gain after running, but it was something different that I did. Or we can just blame the monkey...that's more fun.

And The Winner Is...

Good morning to you all.

Today you get to find out which Bomb pop tasted better. Was it Schwan's or was it Blue Bunny. I did want to mention, though, that, unlike those chocolate covered creme filled bismarks, the nice thing about both bomb pops is that they are so low-calorie, I could eat four before I started to worry about gaining weight off of them. The Schwan's Bomb pop is 45 calories, and the Blue Bunny is 40.

Well, I've put you all off long enough. I've waited for three hours now for some video footage to upload and it won't finish uploading which leads me to wonder if it ever will.

The winner is Blue Bunny. (I know that was so anticlimactic)

Yes, I am happy. I went grocery shopping last night and picked up two more boxes. That's when I noticed that Blue Bunny also makes Bomb Pops in different flavors besides the classic red, white and blue. So, yes, I did pick up one of those new flavors.

The one I picked up was called "Volcano Lava-hot cinnamon" flavor. Have you ever heard of such a thing.

Hot-flavored...ice cream.

I suppose I should taste it before giving one to one of the kids. If I know Blue Bunny it will be hot and it will taste great. Ahh...suddenly there's so much to write about.

Also, for those who don't know, tomorrow is my birthday. I've declared, like what Lil Miss Blogger did on her blog, that this week is Sunshine Mama's birthday week. So, everyday I've been doing something special.

Last night my 20-month old son said, "mama" for the first time and I also had the kids practice singing "Happy Birthday" to me.

Tonight my husband is going to take the kids out "birthday shopping" for mom.

Also, I'm not making birthday cake for my birthday. Sorry, SunshineMeg, no frosting tomorrow. But what I am making I'm really excited about because it's healthy--ier and I can't wait to eat it.

And if I ever do get that dratted video to upload, I'll share that with you too. I know, you guys are bummed because you wanted to see Sunshine Mama in action eating these bomb pops.

All I can say, is if Blogger had a phone, they'd be getting a call from me.

Happy Tuesday! Enjoy it. The sun is shining.
