What's Cookin?
Hello ladies! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was quiet but productive none-the-less. I worked out both days and stayed on plan. Even felt frisky enough to eat out. I had the Margarita chicken, steamed veggies and corn on the cob at Chilli's. It was 16 points. But loaded with veggies and I lets not forget I have 30 points to eat up a day. So good there. I also made it to church. Very good service. I managed not to cry this time :) I also deep cleaned my bedroom and cleaned out drawers and washed all my clothes and sheets! So very productive weekend for me.
I ended the weekend by cooking a nice healthy dinner. It was Penne RIgate w/chicken. A recipe on the back of the Healthy Harvest whole wheat penne pasta box. It was tasty and totaled in at 13 points and this is just by MY caluculations, nothing for sure. A little high but still full of veggies and wheat pasta. Needed a little more flavor but it was full of veggies and the oil I needed for today so not too shabby.
Here's the final product:
And the little man who watched my every move in hopes of dropping a piece of chicken,lol. He had no luck.
.
I made a big oops! Instead of counting my lunch at 16 I counted it as 6, OOPS! So After recalculating my meals I've had to take 6 allowance points. I don't feel too bad because I've only used 10 this week. And I don't see myself going off plan tomorrow or Tuesday so I should be ok.
Today I got to work out at the gym. OMG, it felts sooo good! How I missed thee. I did 10 minutes warm up on the bike, 15 minutes of running on the treadmill (I did my mini goal of running .5 mile without stopping) then I did 10 minutes on the X-tracker and 10 minutes on the elliptical for a total of 40 minutes cardio. Ended with 100 sit ups so a good work out for me! Tomorrow I'll add weight training in.
I weighed myself at the gym...I know I shouldn't but I was curious. It said I was 211, which means 5lbs down. I DONT THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE! That means I've dropped a pound a day. But if I go on Tuesday and have more than 2lbs gone I'll be happy. I know it doesn't have the same calibration as WW but if it's close I'd be a happy girl come Tuesday...I can only go down further. I think the thing that is helping me the most is that I know this is a LIFESTYLE change and when I went to the grocery store today, it was like a habit to pick up the more healthier choices. I didn't even CRAVE the stuff I'd normally want. I picked up some 100 cal pecan cinnamon rolls, mmm! You can warm them in the microwave. Should be tasty.
I'm very proud of myself. I didn't think I'd make it 2 days counting points and look at me, I've completed day 5!!
So today while I was grocery shopping (I went after I went to the gym) a guy hit on me! I've seen him around campus a few times but didn't pay him any attention(not my type anyway) but he saw me (still in my work out clothes, which happen to be yoga pants and tshirt) walking past him and I said in my head "Watch him look at my butt" sure as I walked by him and his friend stopped their conversation, then I looked back and sure enough they were looking at my butt, LMAO! Then he turns around and catches me...I know it took alot of courage for him but I had to turn him down (I DO HAVE A BOYFRIEND) and he wasn't my type,lol. But it felt good to be hit on, I have to admit :P
Ok, I'm gonna get going.
