Morning – I know I was MIA Wednesday.   I weighed in today and I am up to 171.4  L   I totally fell off the wagon the last 2 weeks, I have not been doing good over all and WW took the hit as well.  I promise my self that this week I will be back on the wagon; I promise that I will count EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth – I will think before I choose food when we go out. 

Today – I have work and then my DH and I are going on a date (something that we have not done in a long time yet we need so very badly)   we are going to play Darts WOOHOO.  I love spending fun time with him J   tomorrow we are going to a Hockey game with some friends (FUN).  I think that the last 2 weeks (well more) have been very busy and I have been home a lone a lot and we have been going out to eat a lot due to only being able to see each other while we were out eating.    Last night we talked and we decided that we need to set each other 1st and then worry about everything else.

I love my DH – he is my best friend!

Morning ;

 

Oh where do I start… this weekend I was so weak I didn’t stick to anything I said… I did however make some SMART choices but I didn’t make a lot of good ones.

So Friday we ended up staying home (that was good – keep reading) So I ate very healthy and good things J

I actually had a salad with chicken nuggets for dinner

On Saturday I was good 90% of the day.  I started with a banana and then had a Robek’s shake for lunch.  Dinner was a different story L  we went out and I ate, and ate, and ate.. For dinner we split a bowl of soup it was good.  It was like chili. And I had salmon 6oz, cup of mashed potato, and green beans.  Then the freaking desert ( I so could have done with out it.   It was apple cobbler with ice cream.  But this cobbler came in a soup bowl..  Yeah a SOUP BOWL it was HUGE…. We split it for the 2 of us and my little brother in-law helped.  There were people at the table that got 1 for them selves and ate most of it AFTTER having dinner (YUCK)

Sunday was another day where I went over board with eating.  I went to get my bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding, after we went out to eat and I made a semi good choice- we went to 99 and I ordered a ½ order of a salad with honey chicken strips. It was 8 points.  And that was it BUT that evening I did the same thing as the night before.  We went to the Cheesecake factory - my DH and I split the Cajun jambalaya pasta dinner.  We had the chicken pot stickers (they are bumplings).  We finned the dinner with splitting a pumpkin pecan cheesecake.  All I had to drink was water (thank God I did that right)

Well anyway no need to cry over spilled milk – time to buckle does.  I CAN NOT GAIN WEIGHT!!!

Today (my menu is up top) I think this is a good day… I just have to make it thru the night without binging out!

 

Oh yeah the bridesmaid dress I need a MUCH smaller size then I thought.  Was kind of GOOD – the girls were like whatever size you think you are you need to get the dress is 2 bigger. So I was like NO way am I getting this dress in a 14 or a 16. so I asked for a 10/12 and the 12 was  good 5 inches to big in my back.  And the 10 was great (if I am pregnant the 10 will fit me great) J

Here is the link for the dress and the color is POOL (love the dress, not the color)

Afternoon ladies and gentlemen;

 

I think that I finally realized that I have a problem…  I was just walking with by GF and I stated something that I finally faced – “I am a binge eater” for the last 2 weeks almost I have been doing nothing but binging at night… I would be okay if it was veggies and fruits but its not… I am eating wafers, cookies, ice cream (empty foods)  I noticed that I am not feeling good – I don’t look good (at least to me).  I just can’t find a way to stop this.  I told my DH that we need to stack the house with healthy foods – no more cookies and other junk foods; I don’t want to cut him off so I said that if you get it can you please place it some place where its not staring me in the face.  This is something totally new for me – I have NEVER done this before…  I don’t know what is going on… Last night after eating dinner I also had wafers and some veggie chips and ice cream (that was 10 points from my Flex that restarted last night)

I am going to plan on eating okay tonight, I just had salad with chicken for lunch and I still have 15.5 points left for tonight (we are going out with friends so I have to save the points) I will not over eat AGAIN!   DH is going out with a friend from work and I’m going to meet them for 1 drink and dinner and go home. Saturday I plan on drinking my water and eating healthy foods – I will eat salad and I will have soup and I will not eat anything that have sugar (candy and ice cream mostly) Sunday we are going o tag a tree and I will bring my water bottle (I need to drink more on the weekends) I will also make sure that we eat healthy while we are out. 

 

Today- I again walked almost 2 miles in 45 minutes with my GF… I love walking at lunch – breaks up the say and makes me not walk to kill my self with all the work I have.   Oh yeah check out what I ate today – tell me what you think I should have for dinner J

Morning J

So get this, I forgot to weigh in this morning – I will do that tomorrow morning!

I didn’t have a good night again last night… I don’t know what is going on – I feel like I’m boredom eating….  I was not hungry at all and I still ate cheese L with that I went over my weekly points (8pts).  Well... Just like that I tossed the full week out of the window L

I plan on walking today at lunch (I hope that I don’t get pulled into a meeting where I will be over lunch) I plan on eating EVERYTHING healthy and not over eating this week…. This has to stop – I am doing so well, I can’t just throw is out of the window now…

This weekend I have a plan:

Friday – I plan on going food shopping after work and getting fruits and veggies to place in the house – I want to have healthy food to snack on when I’m home VS junk (for low empty points)

Saturday – I will be out most of the day.  My mom is leaving to LA so I will be with her (   I have to drive her to the airport) so by the time I return home it will be like 5pm.  After that I plan on my DH to be home and we might go out some place J that will be nice (someplace where there is no food)

Sunday – we plan on going out with friends to “tag” a Christmas tree.   This is a place that is in my old town that has a GREAT farm.  We will Tag a tree and then maybe buy some new ornaments and drink some hot cider… I plan on eating light and drinking my water J  

Working from home... + and - of it.

Morning!

Before I go into any more detail I would like to show off my meal plan for the day (maybe next time I will even take pictures J

22pts

B: egg whites, toast, veggie burger - 6
L: soup, crackers - 3
S: apple - 1
D: Salad, tuna in water, cheese,  
S: class of 2% milk - 2

Workout – walk with my doggies 2 miles (4 circles by my house)

 

This morning I ended up working from home (I was waiting for my Medication to arrive FedEx) my meds come on Ice so I have to sign for it.  So anyway…  if you read this blog you are probably thinking “that’s great, I want to work from home as well”.  Well,,, I might prove you wrong in a minute (if you keep reading)

Working from home 101:

I get up maybe a little later then usual, and he day starts… Working from home is a lot better then in the office in this prospective – you get more work done without people bothering you…  The bad thing is you don’t get to talk to anyone – if you have a question you have to AIM them or try to track them down in the office…. Oh yeah lets not talk about the things you miss out on when you are working from home… On Monday when I was not feeling great and worked from home – people went to lunch and then has an Edible Arrangement delivered   ( I missed that)  I was at home WORKING.  Normal day for you ends what 5pm well when you work at home you get so into your work that you miss the 5 pm mark and end up realizing that at about 7pm when your other half gets home and asks  “honey its 7 what in the world are you doing” J

So you still envy me and want to work from home?    Oh yeah the upside – you don’t have to dress for work or sit in traffic J

 

Anyways back to my WW day. 

As you can see above I think that I have a good plan made out for the day… I just have to stick to it and not get diverted into the kitchen for snacks (that seems to be another downfall for working from home – kitchen is only 10 steps away and its free)

I plan on meeting my Goal of 5 LBS by the end of this month J   I have 4 more to go!!!!

 

 

 

New Beginnings

 

I faced all my fears and came to a conclusion!!!

I must be happy with my self before I am happy with others.  Over the last few years my weight has been up and down (up more then down). 

To new Beginnings

I started back on weight watchers (my self without meetings) in September J I have lost a little over 10 lbs at this point and I’m going strong… I stay OP daily and I get activity points daily.

My friend Lori (HI) makes me walk everyday at lunch.. this is the best I can do for my self J  I also started walking the dogs DAILY when I return home….

I plan on posting the routes that we walk daily that way I will stay accountable with my self and everyone else.   I will do my best on posting my menu’s (if you want to make comments on what I’m eating or on what I’m NOT eating please feel free!!!!

Summer is on the way

I’m getting ready for having my surgery on Tuesday, I’m really okay with it, I am not afraid much. I has started a new healthy lifestyle 2 weeks ago and I am keeping with it. I think this is also keeping my mind of the fact that I’m going in the hospital. I have become a vegetarian!!! Yes you herd that right. I have to tell you in the last 2 weeks I feel great and  I have no issues with anything, I snack a good amount but its only on fruits and veggies during the day. 

The last 2 weeks we here in CT have been getting great weather so I have started walking with my dogs, we do 2 laps around by my house, I think that 2 laps might be a little over a mile but this is good because I will be able to walk this after I get home from the hospital and I don’t have to drive any place or anything. 

I think that I have come to a realization that I will not be a toothpick skinny mini that I once was but I will be healthy; therefore, I an eating healthy foods.
Adam has been on “Herbalife” for almost a week and he is enjoying it very much, I would have to say that he seems to be more upbeat and uplifting. For him we are struggling with eating junk more then anything. I will say that it is just a hurdle that we will overcome in the near future. 

THe Holidays have Past

 

Well, the holidays have passed. The food has been eaten, and the gifts have been given away. We all looked back at what we did and made insane goals of what we want to do in 2008. Here are some things I would like to do in 2008
  1. Get to Goal Weight
  2. work-out more at the gym
  3. ride my bike this year as much as I can
I think that the 3 things that I went for are in a reachable standard.  I go to WW every week (I have been thinking of maybe stopping by more then that just to see if I can get more help). I thin that my big part in Wight Watchers that worked last time but not this time is not eating my weekly points. When I don’t eat them I drop, when I eat them I gain.
I also started Pampered Chef this year, I had one party and it was great I now have 4 more booked for the next month. I didn’t think that I was going to like it but to be honest with you I think that it’s a lot of fun and I enjoy every bit of it.  I have made the Hot brie at a party and all the people that booked from that as me to make that at their house so that makes like VERY easy for me. I also have some cook books that I bought at Weight Watchers and I plan to use them for the cooking shows as well (never know when someone can eat the fatty food or would like something that is better for their health.
Well this end another post from me, I will try to get here tomorrow to do an update but most of them should come on Mondays due to me having my WI on Saturday mornings.
Till then

1st stormfor the season

 

So this morning I got up to a day that was going too turn out to be the 1st storm of the season, this storm was names ALEXANDER (my brothers name) it’s funny cause last year he was sooo ad that it didn’t now, so I guess he was smiling down today when we got out 1st snow of the season. He would have loved this, and he would have loved to go snowboarding with me this weekend, that was our favorite thing to do together in the winter.
I think we got a foot of snow today, my ride that normally takes bout 15 minutes took me hour ½ to get home. My Truck was okay in the snow (I still didn’t get snow tires put on) oh yeah Adam told me that we are going to have more snow on Sunday WOOHOO!!!!
On another note, I got my Tom last night and I wanted to peak at the scale today and I was no a happy camper when I saw that the number is WAY it’s (well not really) only 1 lbs but still that’s a lot in the wrong direction. I know that it’s from TOM and I have water retention but it’s still not something that I really wanted to deal with, I really wanted to just go to every meeting with a loss or maintain NOT a stupid gain. (Well I just hope that I will drop that weight maybe something else.
