How on earth did I let a girl on another site make me crave ice cream!?!?
So yesterday was another off day. I shouldn't be having off days this week, my goal date is next Tuesday and as of this morning I'm 5lbs away. Of course I was only 3lbs away on Wednesday so we'll see what happens.
Anway as for yesterday, I was a good girl and got up and did my AbJam video. Brakfast was 2 multi grain waffles with syrup and then lunch was my usual salad and a lean pocket sub thing. Then DH informs me that he has to be in court at 6 and wants to know if we are going to grab a bite to eat before or wait til after for him to cook. Well there was no way I could wait until 7 to eat! I was really upset to cause there was no reason he couldn't have gone home and showered and gotten ready for court then cooked dinner to be ready at 5. Instead he sat on his a$$ at his buddies house. I really wanted to yell at him, but at the same time it is my job to make sure what I eat is healthy. It just bothers me that he doesn't work, but makes a big deal if I inconvience him. Anyway for dinner we went to Friendly's and I had the Chicken Fajita Quessedillas with fries. Then I just had to get the new Cake flurry thing they have. I do have to say it was Amazing!!! We got home from court about 7 and watched a show about Pagans, it was pretty cool, but then it was almost 8 and DH said he was going in the bedroom and I said "Well I'm going to do my 20 minute cardio workout" Can you believe it, at 8pm I decided I was going to stick to my plan and do my work out! I felt so good about myself when I was done, but my tummy didn't. I wish I had the time to do it before eating, but oh well.
At least I had one accomplishment out of the day. Oh and I have no idea how many steps I had because my counter fell off when I was making my lunch and I forgot to pick it up. Tha'ts why I did the video instead of the walking machine!
Yup, that's me!!! I went home from work last night and used my walking machine until I reached 10,000 steps! DH seriously needs to grease the thing though cause I could barely hear the TV over it squeeking.
I went way over my calories yesterday with about 1900 cause we had meat loaf for dinner, but I worked out twice so that made me feel better. I have noticed that I tend to be more leanient (sp?) when I work out though cause I use it as a crutch to eat things with more calories because "I worked out so I can eat more and it won't hurt" Well yeah it won't hurt, but it won't help either, DUH. Over all it was a good day though, 1900 caloires, 10,700 steps, and 4 bottles of water for 95 oz of water.
And after last night I decided that each evening I'm going to use the walking machine until I reach 10,000 steps. I think it's a great goal! So I got up this morning and did my Ab Jam video. I love that one, except I have to work on strengthening my back muscles too.
That's what I did this morning. I've decided that Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays I'm going to do my Turbo Sculpt DVD in the morning and in the evening I'm going to use the Gazelle machine I just got. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm going to do my Ab video in the morning and either a cardio DVD or the Gazelle Machine in the afternoon.
I didn't do so great on the eating yesterday (about 1700 calories), but I did get in 10,670 steps. It took me 3 hours to get my household and grocery shopping done. I also did the Turbo Jam DVD in the morning so I think I did pretty good over all.
We're having meat loaf for dinner tonight so I have to be really good today!
but myself... I would blame DH, because he wasn't willing to drive back to my work to get my grocery list, but later he wasn't the one who put the food in my mouth. I had something planned for dinner, but it didn't work out that we made the home made sauce. Instead we had spaghetti with canned sauce and of course DH insists on having beef and sausage in the sauce. So instead of making him keep it separate I just ate it that way too. And of course the sauce is one of my favorite foods so I had two helpings.
And did I mention that TOM arrived on Sunday so instead of losing weight I've gained 1.5 lbs. How am I ever going to get down 4lb by next Tuesday? I really thought my goal was obtainable. Maybe if I work out twice a day until then it will work! Oh I did get up and work out again this morning!!!
Noe, I didn't have a GREAT weekend, but I did get my butt out of bed this morning and do my 20 minute cardio workout!!! I'm so proud of myself! I already have half my steps for the day in and I've already drank a bottle of wather that I normally wouldn't have. Still not feeling great about my body, but in a good mood. I even still had time for my hair and make up!
The weekend wasn't great. Friday night I did good, we had Shrimp Creole and it was great, and the best part was that DH like it. Then Saturday I made a Frittata for Breakfast, but it wasn't unitl almost noon, so I ate it as lunch, and being that I didn't eat breakfast I got to have 2 burgers for dinner and 2 helpings of Garlic Roasted Veggies. Now I shouldn't have eaten all that for dinner because I wasn't hungry after I ate my first helping. I'm disappointed in myself for that, but I'm over it now, Live and Learn. Yesterday wasn't good at all. I got extra walking in because we went to the Maple Festival. It wasn't as good as it used to be. All the craft people had the same general stuff, and there wasn't anyone with quilts or anything. After that we went to Denny's where DH decided he wanted to get the Nachos appetizer and of course I got the Mushroom swiss burger for my meal, even after saying to DH if we are getting nachos I should just get a side salad for my meal. So I ate way too much and felt uncomfortable afterwards, and then I went home and sat on my butt! I think that's the worst part. But it was my only meal for the day, beside the snack of the Choclate chip icream sandwich I had. DH ran to the store just for that purpose and when he asked if I wanted one too I said of course with out even thinking about it. But that's ok because after that weekend I'm more motivated to exercise and eat right!
Yesterday went pretty well over all. I was running late so I only ended up having a plum and a banana for breakfast. Then lunch was a salad and a lean cuisine flat bread, they are just amazing. Dh ended picking me up a half hour early from work so that was nice, and it was even better since it was sunny and kinda warm out.
When we got home he let Toby, our little pug out and yeah he got lose again! And this time he headed for the main street. I thought I was going to die when he ran out into that road. And then I watched him almost get his by a big truck. I was so mad at him cause I had to run after him, but at the same time I was so happy that he was safe. He ended up running right back to me after he got in what exercise he wanted. Oh and did I mention he tried playing with a St. Bernard. So instead of going home and making dinner we had to go to the Tractor supply store to get a new hook for their leash cause Toby is Hudini and keeps getting out of it. After that running I didn't feel like cooking so we went to Friendly's and I got the Buffalo Chicken salad. I know it's not the best salad to get get considering the buffalo sauce (are you seeing the trend) and blue cheese, but it's better than a burger and fries. Either way even if there was 1000 calories in it I would be just at the 1600 calorie mark. I didn't drink enough water yesterday either, but thanks to Toby I had plent of steps in.
Now for the title. I need to have a good weekend to lose another 1lb this week. But the good news is that we don't plan on doing much of anything so I will be home to cook healthy meals! Plus I'm hoping my FIL is feeling better so we can got get that exercise machine.
OK, so I did great yesterday... until I got to pool. I have 2 weaknesses when it comes to eating and it's pizza and chicken wing/buffalo flovored things. And what did they feed us at pool last night you ask... Pizza and wings, and let me just say they were amazing! I just couldn't help myself and I felt terrible after eating them, but do you think that stopped me from going back 2 hours later and having more pizza, NNNOOOO!
All I can say is that Pool is over and the temptation is gone! Also last night was the championship match. In our league there are two devisions with 8 teams in each division. We play everyone in our devision twice and everyone in the other devision once. Well in the regular season we can in 6th in our division, but in play-offs we won our division and the championship match me played the winner of the other division, which just so happened to be the other team from the bar we shoot at. It was fun I suppose. It's a race to see who can win 8 games first. Well we were up 7 to 1 and ended up losing. Yes I said losing. I can't believe it. I shot pretty well, but it wasn't enough. I have to say I'm glad it's over though. I'm sick of seeing my mother and her boyfriend get drunk every week and having to be out late. Next year DH and I are going to be on a Sunday mixed bowling league with his friend and wife. I'm not too fond of the friend but it has to be more fun than the pool. At least with bowling you are involved in every game where at pool you sit around and wait for your turn to shoot 3 games.
OK well I'm done rambling for today. I need to step up on the eating from it I want to reach my goal of 175 by my birthday on the 15th. That's 2 weeks to lose 4lbs, or more depending on how much damage I did last night!
Have a great day, I know I will (my jury duty was cancelled)
Well yesterday was a good day! For breakfast I had Fruity Pebbles and my coffee. I would have had some fruit, but I forgot it at home. So for a snack I had a sugar free pudding. Flor lunch I had a large salad with Kraft's new FF Italian Ceasar dressing...YUM... and a cold-cut combo sandwich. I didn't think I was full, but I decided to wait a few minutes before getting another pudding snack and it turned out I was full. When I got home from work around 4:30 I was a little hungry so learning from my mistakes I ate a plum, which kept me from eating chips or something. Dinner was Sauteed Tilapia and Breamy Broccoli soup. The fish was great! and the soup was OK, I need to figure out something to give it a little more flavor. Maybe adding some cheese. And then being that I had eaten less than 1200 calories for the day I treated myself to some dorito type snacks. 150 calories in 18 pieces, I ate 27 for 225 calories, bringing my total calorie count to 1362 for the day! I also drank 3 bottles of water which is about 80 oz.
In other news, there is nothing on the baby front just yet. My chances this month are pretty slim cause I should have O'd when I was sick, but we did BD once so maybe. I plan on testing on my birthday, the 15th if TOM hasn't arrived yet. I don't think I'll be too upset this month cause if TOM arrives at least I can party with my friends who are coming to town to celebrate with me.
Well I have Jury Duty tomorrow so I better get some work done today!
And another new start, just like any other day! Yesterday was good until I got home after grocery shopping after work and I put all the groceries away. I really didn't feel like cooking and I was starving so DH made one of those Campbell's Complete meals, it was herb Chicken. Which I would have been fine if I just ate that, but while I was eating I just had to have some of the buffalo pretzel bites that were sitting in front of the computer. I guess I didn't really do too bad cause I think my total calorie count was around 1700 and that's still less than 2000, which is what I would be eating to stay where I'm at so I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm going to turn this into a learing experience and a new goal.
Don't let myself get so hungry I don't care what I eat. Even if I have to have a few pieces of fruit to get by why I make dinner it's better than eating the junk. Fruit and veggies have vitamins a body needs.
So there you have it. That's pretty much my whole day. Oh and it was 5:20 when I got up this morning. Still not enough time to work out, but hopefully I'll be there soon. I should have the gazelle machine within the next week so maybe I could at least get on that in the evening.
I really am. My favorite pair of jeans is constantly falling below them so I have to keep pulling them up so that my butt crack doesn't show and then my shirts always ride above them unless I'm wearing something big and baggy. It's so frustrating!!!
I had a terrible eating weekend! I guess it could have been worse, but I'm still disappointed in myself cause I have no self control.
Friday night we went to Friendly's for dinner and i got a burger and ate a few Buffalo tenders. No big deal cause I didn't eat too many caloires in the rest of the day.
Saturday I had an omellete breakfast with onions and turkey bacon and FF cheese, one egg and one egg white. Then we were to go grocery shopping but DH was hungry again and you never go to the store hungry so we went to Ponderosa. I got grilled shrimp and ate Ceasar salad with lots of veggies and didn't eat my fries. And they had Wisconsin Cheese soup that I couldn't pass up but I only had a little with a roll (that of course they brush melted butter on the top. Oh did I mention I ate the shrimp with lemon only, no butter. But them DH pointed out to me that they had Chocolate valcano cake, yeah I had to have a piece with vanilla ice cream. So for dinner I had a bag 94% fat free popcorn.
Sunday we went to my MILs for dinner. I did good at the meal cause she made turkey and I don't like turkey so I ate potatoes, that I had to have regular sour cream on and lots of broccoli and cauliflower. and two dinner rolls. The major problem came when she pulled out the pretzels and ranch dip. Yeah not low fat and so good. We were sitting there playing a game so I don't even know how much we ate. And then she pulled out the apple pie with cinibon cinnimon and frosting! Yeah she guilted me into eating 2 pieces. I could have said no, but OMG!!! I keep offering to bring food when we go up there to hang out cause I know my food is way better for me, but she won't let me. She even wanted to pay me back for the pretzels we brought and I said no so she said I had to take them home then.
I'm back on plan today though and things are going to be great cause I was still down 3lbs from last week this morning!!! And I managed to get out of bed at 5:15 so I'm going to set my alarm for a little earlier tomorrow and see if I can get up at 5.
