Trying again tomorrow!

Awful Day Monday

I don't want to go into detail about what made my day so awful....just know that it had to do with an appointment and a RUDE RUDE awful mean woman! I was so nervous and upset when it was over that my eye was twitching! I came home and bitched to my mom and Kyle and cried and then went and got chinese take out and a bottle of wine. The food was delicious and the wine relaxed me..and I am feeling better now. However my diet went to hell...but oh well. I really needed a little food therapy...and yes! I know that is what has gotten me to my overweight self..but dammit..it DOES help! LOL

Before the "therapy"...my points total was 12.

Back on track! Sunday - C

I had a great day yesterday. OK, let's be honest...I had a great day Friday too, lol! It's not so much what I ate, but what didn't I eat? LOL!

Friday night, after all that eating at preschool and being taken out to lunch by friends, I had a big brownie (the ones that were a gift), and then we went to Red Lobster for dinner.

Yesterday, P and S made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. As part of my gifts from family members, I got stuff that I love from California...Mother's cookies and See's candy. So, I had some of each of those. For "lunch" I had two leftover cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster. During the afternoon we had BIRTHDAY CAKE! Yum! Then, I realized I'd basically no protein, so I had some cheese (and french bread). (I swear...it's no wonder I'm overweight...my cravings are always carbs and cheese.) So then! We dropped Shan off at her sleepover, and went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We'd never been there, and it was DELISH. We had salad, and bread, and then I had fish & chips for dinner. We shared a piece of Lemon Raspberry cheese cake for dessert. After we got home and settled in bed, we each had one last piece of b-day cake. OMG...typing all that out is pretty awful, lol...but it was a lot of fun. We had a really nice day.

So this morning I get up and weigh...and uh...the scale said 203. That's FIVE pounds up. Yikes! I'm not going to sweat it, because dammit, it was my birthday! But I definitely have my work cut out for me this week!

Breakfast:
granola bar 2 pts.

Um...Houston, we have a problem, lol! I had another cheat day. I didn't plan to, and I know that's a bad thing. A lot of things didn't go the way I thought they would today, lol!

We went to WalMart this afternoon to buy food for Tiki and Azure, and ended up at a car lot and bought a Jeep Commander. (LONG story.) Anyway...we had to take it out for a celebratory drive, and ate lunch/dinner out. Then we had cake when we got home, etc.

I promise...I am ON THE WAGON tomorrow!!!

Have a great day--Love you!!!

In honor of Cindys Birthday weekend...

I am weighing today too. and eating pizza for dinner. Tomorrow will also be a cheat day and I will get back on track on Sunday!!

My weight today was 288--I am down 6 pounds from last week!!! Total loss 16 lbs!!

Breakfast
2 pudding cups--2 pts

Lunch
none

Dinner
pizza, steak hoagies, boneless wings (????? pts)

Day Before Birthday Friday

Um...I'm going to use today's weight as my weigh-in, because people are being SO sweet to me, and treating me to lunch, and bringing me birthday cakes, etc....and it's SO not good for my diet, lol! Birthdays only come once a year, and I refuse to "be good" on my diet and not enjoy my birthday, or ruin my friends' surprises!

Breakfast:
Smart Start bar 3 pts.

Surprise at work:
Cupcake (again! lol) 6 pts.
Fruit Salad 2 pts.

Surprise Lunch!

Suprise! Brownies brought to preschool
??? pts.

Dinner (Red Lobster):

Salad w/Bleu cheese dressing
1 cheddar biscuit
Linguini Alfredo with shrimp

Dessert:
Skinny cow....real cake tomorrow, lol!

As you can see, people dropped in on me at work all day today, and just kept showering me with cards and sweet gifts. There is no way I was going to turn them down, or deprive myself of my birthday treats. I say you only live once, and it's the REST of the time that matters diet-wise. It's not celebrating birthdays that makes you fat!

So! I weighed in at 198 yesterday morning. Weekly loss: 1 lb. Total lost: 12 lbs.

I'm planning to have a cheat day tomorrow. Back on the wagon Sunday!

Week 4 weigh in

I'm annoyed.. my scale showed 294 my moms showed 293. I really WANT to use the 293..but that doesn't really make sense, huh? so..I'll take the 294 and say I am down 3 pounds for a total of 10 pounds lost!

Can I just say, that I am annoyed (again HA!) That you have lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks and I've lost 10 in FOUR..plus I weigh 100 pounds MORE than you...I should be losing just a tinge faster than you and it's really tanning my hide! *cough* bitch *cough* ;) ;)

However..I can't believe what a difference losing 10 pounds has made in how I feel. Can't wait to see what 10 more feels like!!

Can I get a "Hell Yeah!" ?

I got on the scale this morning, and it said 199.8!!! Woooohooooo!

Food on Wednesday - Cindy

First of all...Zaxby's...YUM! They have THE BEST chicken fingers in the world. Patrick and Shannon love the "Zax Sauce" for dipping too, but I think it's kinda yucky. It's like ranch with a little hot sauce in it. Anyway, I just get ranch for dipping. Patrick says their wings are good, too. But what I love are their salads! They are bomb-diggity! I get the "House Salad, grilled, with bleu cheese." It's huge, and delicious. It comes with texas toast...but I'm not eating that any more, because it adds even MORE points...and at 16 points...it's plenty, lol! But yeah...go try it! We love Zaxby's!

Today was a NO willpower kind of day. Today was my first day not having to work for diapers. It was also the first day both of my kids were at school and I had "NOTHING" to do--or nothing that I HAD to do, you know??! So, I went with my mom to run errands and we went to lunch. I had a tuna melt, onion rings, and dessert!!! NO WILLPOWER!!

Then, we went and bought K a new (to him) truck for work. We didn't get home until 9--then kids in shower and bed and fast food for K and I for dinner. At that point...I figured what the hell and had a spicky chicken sandwich from Wendys, fries and a freaking coke.

HOWEVER...I DID go and sign up for water aerobics and Zumba tonight. It starts next Monday. I will be exercising at least 4 times a week!! I'm really excited!!

I didn't get to the grocery today and I MUST go tomorrow. It's very easy to give in to temptation when I am not being "fulfilled" at home, you know??

Don't be too disappointed in me!!

Silly little thing, weighing in...lol!

I mentioned it in my frustrated post, but I was up 2 lbs. this week...at 205 lbs. I'm pretty sure it was due to AF being late/due, because I stayed within my points all week, and drank my water too.

Still, I need to do better at getting exercise, and more fruits/veggies.

Soooo, yeah. I guess I took the day off. Back on track tomorrow.

Frustrated too!

I'm not giving up, because dammit! I want to be thin. I want to wear cute clothes! I want to not be embarrassed by my body!

But this sucks. I have not cheated one time this week. I have not gone over my points. I have drunk my water EVERY day.

And as of this morning, I was up two pounds. Fucker.

That said, my period is like...a week late, and I have no idea why. I'm like 99.99999% sure I'm not pregnant, lol...so I'm just all bloaty and fat feeling, and the weight is just NOT moving.

Can my period please just come, so all this extra water weight will "whoosh" away?

We actually ordered a pizza tonight, because I'm in a foul mood (about other stuff) and I'm not down any weight anyway. Bah.

The scale is not moving this week. I don't know if it's because I'm not exercising enough, or if it's because my period is due ANY second (actually it's late), or if I'm eating too much dairy, and not enough veggies? I dunno...but it's kind of a pisser, lol!

I think I'm in a rut of foods to eat...although maybe it's just that I hate prepping food, and I always feel too busy to prep something good and healthy. I really need to make prepping/planning my food a bigger priority, although...not this week.

Late Tuesday Food Post

Woooowie! it was a long day! My jobs were fine, but I started feeling really bad around lunch time, and still had half a work day to go. So by 6pm, I was nearly dead, lol. I came home from work, took medicine, and basically let P & S wait on me hand and foot. Ugh.

Anyway...here's what I ate today. I'm a little mad about the piece of cake, lol...but I really can't be because it was bought to "celebrate all the September birthdays (of which one is mine!) at work"...so yeah. I had to have some.

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Labor Day

UGH..this weekend has just been a bad one in the way of food and dieting. Today we are going to a cookout and I already know I am going to eat what I want..plus dessert. LOL I haven't weighed yet because I'm scared. I know it's going to show more than my 295.5 it showed on Saturday. I can't decide if I should weigh today and just deal with whatever it shows. OR take Saturdays weight and make that my weigh in for the week...really..I'd rather have a saturday weigh in date anyway.... that way I could make Saturday night my "cheat meal" night.

Thoughts???

Sunday Fair

We took the kids to the county fair! You know what that means!! FAIR FOOD!!! I did ok. the worst thing I ate is fried pickles. LOL I did NOT eat the funnel cake, fried oreos, fried snickers, or fried twinkie I wanted to eat!~ so..go me! HA!

Breakfast

(I'm guessing on the lunch and snack based ont he nutritional info I found on the internet and adding a point. hopefully, it's close)

Total--13 pts

snack
fried pickles--4 pts

Mmm Donuts (Sunday Food)

So, I'm still not feeling very well.... And then, Patrick woke me up saying he'd gone and gotten donuts. LOL! I had two. I don't exactly know the points of them, but I know that Krispy Kreme donuts are 5 pts. each. I'll count these as 6 each because they were a bit denser than KK's.

Breakfast:
2 donuts: 12 points.

Snack:
6 triscuits 2 pts.

Lunch-ish:
9 triscuits: 3 pts.
1 oz. colby cheese 3 pts.
Total: 6 pts.

Dinner-ish:
granola bar 2 pts.
drinkable yogurt 4 pts.
Total: 6 pts.

Total: 26 pts.

I know these food choices are weird, but I'm still not feeling good, and really don't feel like cooking or eating much at all. I'm still drinking my water though.

Edit: OK, I figured that since I had donuts earlier, I might as well eat my junkfood for the week, and have some ice cream too, lol! I didn't figure out how much I had, or how many points it was. Probably a lot. 3 scoops...but it was good!

OMG!

OK, I weighed today instead of tomorrow this week...because Patrick brought home donuts and I wanted to eat a couple. LOL! But holy cow! The scale said 203! That means I lost 6 lbs!

Woot!

Loss this week: 6 lbs.
Total loss: 7 lbs.

Sick Saturday

margarine 2 pts.
Total 3 pts.

So, I had brunch and then 2 hours later went out to lunch with my mom. LOL She and her husband have seperated and he moved out very quickly yesterday--he moved to FLORIDA. So..she needed some girl time. We went to Olive Garden and I ATE..I'm not even going to attempt to count the points I consumed. We'll just call it my cheat meal---and I'm eating the leftovers for dinner. LOL

Hot Damn take 2!!!

So, remember yesterday when I wrote my "feeling discouraged" entry?!? and then I said I weighed and I was to 298.5 so I was down a pound and that felt better?? Remember??

Guess what?!?!

I weighed this morning...and I shit you not...295.5!!!! I could hardly believe my eyes. seriously, I kept moving around because I thought there was a glare on the screen making me see the wrong #!!! LOL
