Just Another Manic Monday

Hola!!  Well all my worrying about this weekend was silly.   My friends actually called and told us to bring our favorite topping for individual pizza's.  I found this really yummy whole wheat pizza crust that's low in points so paring that with all the yummy veggies, low fat pizza sauce, and FF cheese we brought, I had a very fufilling OP dinner!!  It was great!! 

Today is the day off of work, a day to relax and unwind and get some major cleaning done.  Maybe I'll earn some AP's doing it too!!! 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Another day in this weight-loss adventure

Well its the weekend, and so far, this week seems to be going well.  I'm been OP all week so far and I'm hoping I stick with that this weekend.  I find that its harder for me to stay OP during the weekend.   Especially if we hang out with friends.  Like tonight, DH and I are going to our friends house, the girls are going to scrapbook (I'm so excited) and they guys are just hanging out watching movies.  It should be tons of fun.  But I can't help worrying about the dinner part of the evening. 

I'm afraid if I say I'm on WW that my friends will go out of their way to make a WW friendly meal when no one else who is eating dinner is on a diet.  I don't want everyone to change their lifestyle just because of me.  Know what I mean?  I try and silently in my head, count up the points that I will soon be eating but its hard because I don't have my trusty WW welcome book or slider to quickly calculate my points on a certain food. 

Why can't all foods just have a bold point value printed on them so life would be easier for all of us WW's?  LOL

Thanks for listening to me vent. 

On a brighter note, my skinny khakis are now fitting me and are even a little loose in the waist area!  That is definitely a NSV (non-scale victory) for me!!! YAY

Awesome WI today!!

I'm down another 2 lbs!! I was so shocked to see that much of a weight loss!!  I'm so excited!!  I'm only 4 lbs away from my 10% goal!!  Talk about some motivation for me!!  I'm so stinking excited!!

For todays menu:

B: Salt Bagel and Dt. Cherry Pepsi (3)

L: Taco Salad Wrap (10) and Dt. Cherry Pepsi

S: SF Jello

D: ??? I"m not sure.   Something for 10 pts!!! 

Woo Hoo!!!!  Bring on the week!!  I'm ready for it!

I'm changing my Weigh-in day to Wednesdays

Well I decided that Mondays were just to hard for me to find the time to get into WW and weigh in.  So I decided to change my Weigh in day to Wednesday mornings.  The WW meeting center near me has a 8am class and since I don't have to be to work until 8:30am I figure I can slip over there quickly and WI.  I just hope they keep this meeting time. 

So I was good for Super Bowl Sunday.  I did have a few cookies but all in all I only had my one plate of nachos that I told myself I could have and that was it.  According to the scale I think I might of lost .5 or 1 lb.  I haven't been really good this week so I'll be happy with any kind of loss.  Heck I would be happy just maintaining.   I need to be motivated again.   I can feel myself slipping and I dont' want to gain any of the weight I just lost.  I have to stick with it!!!

I'm going to get into the 150's by the middle of March.  Thats my mini goal for myself!!

Sloppy Joes for dinner! Mmm mmm!

Well I'm a little late getting my daily meal plan in but better late than never right?

B: Salt Bagel (yes again, I just love them so much) Spray butter (3pts)

L: Chicken noodle soup and a sour dough roll (5 pts)

S: FF Kettle Korn Popcorn and SF Jello pudding (4)

D: MM MM Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes with Baked Lays and 1 c. corn.  (10)

S: WW Oreo Ice Cream Bar (2)

Total for day: 24 Pts using 1 Flex point

I have realised that I hate walking on the treadmill.  Its just so darn boring.  I did my 50 situps last night and walked ont he treadmill for 15 min.  I wanted to do more but I was just so darn bored.  So I'm going to try a workout DVD tonight.  I've been challanged to get in 30 min of cardio 3x a week.  I think I can do that with those DVD's.  And they are a lot of fun and a lot of work!

No pop for a week!

Well I've been challanged by a friend to not drink pop for a whole week.  No big deal right??? WRONG.  I drink so much pop.  I live off of Dt. Mt. Dew.  Its gonna be so hard for me to give it up for a week.  i'm gonna do it though.  I'm gonna go through with the challange because it will make me stronger!! 

All I can say is, My god be with me.

On today's Menu

Well I've been bad posting what I'm going to eat for the day.  I need to get back into doing that.  I think I only lost a lb last week because I was really bad at writing stuff down.  And of course I haven't exercised in forever.  I just can't find the time to get on the treadmill.  By the time I get my DD to sleep, I'm to tired myself to get up and walk for 30 min.  I have no energy. 

So for today's menu:

B: Salt Bagel with spray butter and a Dt. Mt. Dew (3 pts)

L: Subway Turkey and Ham 6-in sub, baked Lays and a diet coke (7 pts)

S: 98% FF kettle korn popcorn (2 pts)

D: Haven't a clue.  I'll have 11 pts to eat.  I wonder what I will make.  A veggie burger and oven fries sounds yummy though.  MM MM good!

For my exercise goal, I'm gonna try and get in at least 50 situps today.  Some exercise is better than none I guess. 

Hello 160's!!!

Woo Hoo!! My WI was today and I'm down another lb!  I wish it was more than just one but I'm happy with any kind of loss!!  Especially after the crappy week I had.  I'm finally down into the 160's!!  I haven't been in the 160's in forever!  I can't even remember the last time I was in the 160's!!  Yay!!! 

All I have to say is 150's here I come!!

This week is just coming apart at the seams

So I haven't done the greatest this week with writing everything down that I've eaten.  On Monday after I weighed in I did the unthinkable, I went to McDonalds and had a hamburger meal.  The cool thing was, I thought every bite was gross and I didn't even eat the whole thing.  But why did I even go there?  Why do I feel like I can celebrate weight loss success with food?  ANd bad food at that!  Isn't that just killing everything that I'm working towards? 

So on top of that, DH and I go to lunch yesterday and we go to my fav. mexican restraunt.  And of course I get the Nachos I love so much that is just a heart-attack on a plate.  So I knew i had to eat good last night because of the crappy lunch I had.  I did pretty well and only ate the tiny portions that I gave myself, but I didn't cound at all how many points it was because I had given up on the day at lunch time. 

I need to get back to writing everything down.  I'm not giving up after I've already lost 11lbs!  I only have 35 lbs to go.  I know that seems like a lot now, but If I just stick with my diet, I know it will come off in no time!!  I did get in 20 min on the treadmill last night.  So thats good. 

I have to work late again tonight and we are again having pizza.  So again I'm going to have to stick to my, only 2 slices rule and not let the pizza talk me into eating more.  I have realized that life isn't always going to let you live it safely and eat only what you want to eat.  Its gonna give you obstacles to over come.  I know that I'm trying to learn a better life-style when it comes to eating and I have to learn how to overcome obstacles like this. 

I can do it!!  I have to keep up on my journaling and my workouts!!  I'm going to be in the 160's next week.  That's my goal!!!

Down another 3lbs!!

Woo hoo!!!  I'm down another 3lbs!!  I'm so stinking excited!!  : )  Only 7lbs more until I reach my first 10% goal.  I'm so motivated now to get down to 163 lbs its not even funny!!  I'm so proud of myself fo stinking to this. 

There have been so many time this week I just wanted to give up, but I didn't and I'm so glad I didn't!!  WTG Jenn!!! 

160's I"m coming for you next week!
