I just want to be thin

I want to be one of those people who have a thin body, and can eat what they want. Is that too much to ask? Yes, I thought as much. I suppose if I was like that, then I'd have to give up my winning personality or something.

I had a really weird "mental-day" today, and struggled a lot with food choices.

We camped this weekend, and was up 2 lbs. this morning. With Halloween (and three parties (2 for school, one with friends)) this week, I just sort of figured that this week was a bust, and I'd kind of have a "free" week. Not FREE like "eat whatever the hell you want," but "free" like...not counting points, and just taking what I get kind of week.

So I had to run an errand after school today, and called P to tell him. I mentioned that I was going to run through McD's on my way. He (very nicely...not judgmentally) said "Why don't you get something better for you than McD's? That has a lot of fat in it, that you probably don't want...."

He was totally right...but I got upset by the change in plans. (Isn't that stupid?) I wasn't even mad at him, but I realized that I was PLANNING to eat bad today just because the rest of the week is going to be "difficult." Today had nothing going on that would effect my eating, or was a social event like a party...yet I was OK with choosing to make bad decisions.

This is just hard, and it sucks. I hate all the mental hoops (to jump through) that exist. Sometimes I just want to eat junk because I know how. Eating healthy takes a lot of thought, and sometimes I just don't wanna!

Kyle has been home from work the last 3 days with a horrible cold and a major rash all over his body. Guess what?!? It's fun to eat during the day with a sick husband! I drop the kids at school and run through the drive through to pick us up breakfast. Yesterday (the one day I didn't bring home b-fast) we were at the dr and then the pharmacy...and we were hungry..so we ran through the drive through for lunch.Last night, the kids wanted KFC for dinner--sounded good to me..so we had that. Monday night, we had no groceries..so more take out. Today..I was out running around with mom and we stopped for lunch. It's been days and days and days of fast food and restaurant food.

This weekend, Chelsea is coming in town from TX ...I am meeting them for lunch at Bravo on Friday afternoon. Saturday, we are having a party to celebrate Tony's b-day (oct 25), her b-day (Nov 1) and my b-day (Nov 3)--so there will be Pizza and cake then.

If I would get off my ass and exercise--I would feel less bad about my un-healthy eating.I just can't seem to get (back) in the right frame of mind.

Kyle goes back to work tomorrow...and we have groceries. I think tomorrow will be a good day. I'll try really hard to keep within my points...even with the special stuff this weekend.

*SIGH*

Junk Food Jones

I'm seriously jonesing for some junk. Everywhere I turn there is Halloween candy, and yummy Fall desserts like pumpkin pie, etc. I know I can have these things...but I hate to give up my points for them. Even if I count the points, I kind of feel like I'm "cheating" when I eat them. I actually ate a handful of Reese's Pieces today, just because I felt like if I didn't eat some junk (isn't that pitiful?) that I was gonna get really mad, lol!

I've been journaling my food the last couple days, but I'd just been really busy and hadn't gotten online.

You doing OK, T?

End of a weekend of bad eating

We had a great time in KY. But my eating..since Friday (including yesterday) has been less than stellar. Back on track today. I can FEEL the difference in my body...I just feel "bleck"..you know?!?!

Stop the presses!

I worked out! Yes! You heard me...I worked out!

I did 2 miles of my 3 mile WATP tape. I'm sweaty as anything, and am off to the shower now.

Woohoo!

Just so you know...

Kyle and I are headed out of town tomorrow evening. We are going with my dad and step-mom to visit my great aunt in KY. We are going WITHOUT the kids--which has me a tinge nervous--and very excited at the same time! (pray for me...and my mom!! LOL)

So, I am going to weigh in the morning instead of Saturday since I won't be home.

Then my sister called and asked Kyle and I to go to her new house with them and help her DH unload the U-haul. So, we did..and they took us to dinner at Wendy's...and instead of trying to stay on my diet...I ate whatever I wanted. *roll-eyes*

Spicy Chicken sandwich--11.5 pts

Total--12 pts

See..this is why sometimes you should just give in to a craving. I would have gotten a small frosty and it would have been 7.5 pts...saving me 5. Of course if I would have just had the hot chocolate..it would have been a wash...but NOOOOO I had to eat the cookie!

Daily Total--43.5 pts (12.5 flex pts used) Hmm..I would have been just fine if I had not eaten my "snack". My thinking is SO screwed up sometimes. I was like. "well...I'm over my points now...I might as well eat something sweet" So stupid. *sigh*

I am having some pretty major girlie troubles today, and I am hurting so bad.

Suffice it to say, I ate what sounded good today, and none of it so far has been healthy.

So yeah...me too!

heh. I am totally having an unplanned cheat day....and there ain't nothin' lite about it!

It all started because I had Cracker Barrel yesterday without Kyle...so he was having a hankering for some CB breakfast. So..I couldn't deny my man and off we went. Their Sunday special is the BEST fried chicken..and I could not conjure up enough will power to NOT get it. so..I did. and fries. and cole slaw. yeah.

Then we went bowling and to the park....and then to Friendly's for Ice cream. Where I proceded to eat a triple scoop brownie sundae with choc Ice cream and peanut butter sauce. yeah.

so....diet today??...mmm..not so much! who sucks?!? ME! I do!! :-)

Uh...so yeah. Sunday!

I'm sort of doing a cheat-lite day. Patrick wanted pancakes this morning, so we had that...I had 5 4-inch pancakes with margarine and syrup.

Then...I had some Cape Cod chips...not TOO many, but more than a few.

And then, I had a small bowl of trail mix...peanuts, cashews, almonds, raisins, and m&m's.

So...yeah...how YOU doin?

Weighing in T

I forgot to weigh in this morning and then went and ate at Cracker Barrell this afternoon and am really full--no way am I weighing now. I weighed at moms yesterday and was 286. So, I'll just use that.

Total to date--18 lbs!

Weighing in - C

I'm at 197! I finally got rid of that stupid 4-5 pounds of birthday/water weight! Yay! Here's to lower numbers from here out!

Yikes...I just went to see what my last weigh-in was, so I could figure out my amount lost for this week...and I hadn't officially weighed-in since the day before my birthday! 9/21! Dang! That weigh-in was 198 lbs. And then I was up 5 lbs. And then I lost 1 lb. And now I'm at 197.

Sooo...I guess my weekly weight lost is...5 lbs, but it's that dumb weight from my birthday.

My total weight loss is 13 lbs!

If I had half a brain...I wouldn't have a cheat day since I ate like crap-ola yesterday. BUT...I'm going to anyway!! although...I don't foresee it as being too over the top. I usually start my Saturday off with Krispy Kreme...and didn't get any last night..so no donuts. I did promise the kids pizza for dinner tonight. I don't know what the afternoon will bring...shouldn't be too bad. actually, I'm not feeling too desperate (for "bad" food) since I ate so "good" yesterday. LOL

Tonight..I AM going back to my exercise class. I was taking Zumba and water aerobics and I have gone to ONE of each. UGH. so tonight...I am going. Kyle has to work until 6 so I made arrangements with my dad to watch the boys until he gets home. It's so silly that I paid the $$ to go and then don't you know? I don't know if I will continue with Zumba or not..I'll see...

Still at it, Wednesday!

So far, so good! I think that part of the reason I was having trouble "committing" again was that I was pissed about my weight. After my birthday festivities, the scale was showing that I was up FIVE pounds. And the next week, I was still up FOUR pounds. PISSER! Needless to say, it really wasn't making me feel like eating right. (I know that makes NO sense, but in my dumb head, it was reasonable, lol!)

Anyway...I finally just listened to you, T...and started doing the right things again. As of this morning, I'm only up .4 lbs from my 198. So, phew! I can be so dense sometimes!

Tricia, thank you so much for reminding me what this is all about. For reminding me that yes, it's hard right now...but the rewards will come. We just need to be patient, and to keep doing the right thing.

I am SO proud of you. You CAN do this without me...but I won't make you, lol!

Love you, girl. (((hugs)))

Kick my ass!

Please!

God, I've lost my focus, and I want it back! Tricia, please either kick my ass, or say something motivational, or something! LOL!

Every day, I say "OK...here we go!" And every day, I fuck up. HELP!!!

I'm still here, and I'm still going to do this...but I need a good swift kick!

(You, by the way...are doing awesome! I'm proud of you!)

Monday Monday

I took the weekend off from journaling since I knew my partner was not here to read it....and I am lazy.

I weighed on Friday again since we were going out to dinner that night. I was down 1/2 pound. I don't really "count" the point losses..I just go by the whole number..so in Tricia World, I stayed the same. I'm ok with that considering the monday night chinese food and 2 glasses of wine I had...and I didn;t exercise ONE time..and I was sick. this week will be better..I'm sure of it!
