Wednesday Weigh In

Or not.

My days of the week are all screwed up. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but I know it wasn't going to be pretty. I've been binging a lot lately. And went to Arctic Circle last night for milk shakes. Oops! So I'm skipping that today and focusing on other things...like BzzAgent. I've been slacking there.

But this is what I know for weight this week. I'm down 4 lbs from last month, so I'm calling that a success, even if I'm up from last week.

Wednesday Weigh-In

It's blurry, but I wanted a pic that didn't include the weight of the phone as well. Down 35 lbs!!! So many random comments from people who come into my work and never really talk to me. Must be doing something right!

Wednesday Weigh-in

Thirty-three pounds. 33!!!! That's crazy. I'm not in un-charted teritory. I haven't weighed this little in about...well 9 years! I remember weighing myself before my wedding and I was 133 lbs. I'm now 4 lbs away from that. And today is our 9 year anniversary (a different post on that later). But this feels good. Oh yes, it does.

Only downside is I'm out of ACE till maybe this weekend. So I just need to do this on my own. 7 lbs to go till I reach my true goal and I think I can do that before the year is over.

Wednesday Weigh In

Yup, down 2 lbs! And I'm getting to the point where I need a belt again. My pants fit great for 20 min and then they stretch out too much. That's a pretty cool feeling,

Restarting Day 1

So this is with me holding the iPad. The first time I stepped on, it said 141.3. Then it was 140.something. Either way, it's pretty good. I bought new jeans yesterday. I am now proudly wearing a size 10! I haven't done that in years. And a lot of people have been commenting on how good I look. It's funny, because I don't feel like I've been very diligent with dieting for the last few weeks. Work has been stressful, home-life stressful, money stressful. So that was good to hear.

So today, October 2, I'm going to re-start my diet. I'm going to restart ACE (I haven't taken it in about 2 weeks) and I'm going to lose those last 10 lbs or so. And I'm going to make it so next time I shop for jeans, I'm wearing a size 8!

And I'm going to try and blog a little more. And stay on budget. And save up for Christmas. And do a bunch more stuff. But mostly, enjoy my kids while they're still kids.

Wednesday Weigh-In

I'm getting there! 16 pounds to go!

Food Journal Day 27

Got off work early so I got to eat with my family. Love that. And I stopped after 1 cookie, instead of 12. Go me!

Day 26 Food Journal

I took yogurt with me to work yesterday but forgot to eat it. Ended up eating a basket of popcorn at the end of the night. Oops. And I don't trust the numbers for calories for that popcorn but I didn't really want to search hard for it. Loaded baked potato at work has been awesome. Filling and not too many calories.

Tomorrow will be day 28. Crazy! Four weeks of journaling and of ACE. I snuck on the scale this morning and liked that number so hopefully it will stay near there. I'll also try and do a video update tomorrow as well. We'll see cause it's a crazy day. Grace has her kindergarten program and I have to work. 

Food Journal Day 24 & 25

I know no one really cares what I eat every day, but I'm posting this for myself so I can go back. And to help keep myself accountable. Working makes me not eat. I have been snackin on gelato though and I need to cut that out. Yesterday I had a loaded baked potato and it was AMAZING. I'll probably start doing that more for dinner. I snuck on the scale this morning. 156.8. That's down 13 lbs in a month. And leaves me with about 17-20 to go. Not too bad. 

Food Journal Day 23

Also pigged out on gelato samples at work. Darn cake batter one. That's not on this list. And I came home and ate half a bag of cheesy-chips. Ugh.

Food Journal Days 21 & 22

I've hit the slump. I should have been logging my food better, but the scale was still under 160 today so I shouldn't be too hard on myself. But I walked a lot yesterday and I could have done better. Ended up with milkshakes at the end of the night. But it was good.

Here's the last two days. Not 100% accurate but close.

But today is a new day and it'll be a great day!

Weigh In Wednesday!

YES! Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes! But now we enter my hurdle. The 150's. After Grace, when I did WW, I got stuck in the 150s. My body likes that weight range apparently. My goal for the next ten pounds is to eat healthily, choose wisely, and exercise! Take the girls on walks, play Just Dance, mow the lawn. Something. Maybe I'll be down to 150 by my birthday!

Food Journal Day 20

The whole point of weight loss, and successful weight loss at that, is to make a lifestyle change. To stop eating when you are full and to make smart food choices. Yesterday I wasn't planning on having any pizza. I ended up with two slices. Then I looked outside and noticed our lawn was pretty shaggy so I went and mowed it. I haven't exercised much (ok at all) in the last three weeks and that was a work out. It was hot, and our grass was long. So I got an extra 300 calories for it! We were also planning an Arctic Circle run for milkshakes. We waited too long and they were closed. Even though I was planning on a small one this time, instead of my usual large, I'm glad we didn't go. See my next post for the reason ;) Oh and dinner was chicken fajitas. I had some peppers, onions and cheese in addition to the chicken I have listed but it wasn't much and I'm too lazy to find them on MFP's database. And the rice was a homemade spanish rice that was easy to make and delicious. I'll be making that again! This is the recipe I found. It's a keeper!

Food Journal Day 19

19 days. I've been doing this for 19 days. Crazy! Yesterday was ok. My food choices are pretty boring. But I did devour the rest of the cookies last night before bed. /sigh. And all the hard lemonade is gone, which is good. I like them, but I hate drinking my calories (other than coffee).

Food Journal Day 18

Busy, busy day yesterday. Picked up our bountiful basket, got my hair cut and went to the Farmer's Market. Also went to the Willow Zoo. Best part was we walked over and back so I did get some exercise. I didn't log my food journal very accurately, but since we were celebrating our Mother's Day yesterday, I don't mind too much. I would have ended the day with a milk shake, but Bethany threw up all over herself in the car so we ended up cleaning her up in the parking lot of Sam's Club and heading home. I have tons of pics, but I'll get them posted later.

I thought for sure I'd have gone back up over 160 lbs this morning but I was still at 159.8. Woot!

Food Journal Day 17

Yesterday was another long work day and I didn't eat right. I took two yogurts with me and didn't eat either one. So when I got home I was thinking about pigging out. Ended up with just one serving of homemade Mac n' Cheese instead of four. And Mike had bought cookies and I only had three instead of thirty. Go me!

And the scale this morning said 159.8. Woot!!!

Food Journal Day 16

I ate half a pizza last night. HALF A PIZZA! Ugh. And the worst part is, it didn't really kill my calories. I wish it had cause I ate it right before bed, but that's sometimes how it works. At least I didn't order a pizza. I cooked a frozen one. So I didn't waste a bunch of money. If I had eaten more at work, I wouldn't have come home and eaten HALF A PIZZA.

Anyway, no scale today. I'm ashamed. Here's what I ate yesterday:

Half a pizza. /sigh

Food Journal Day 15

Today was ok. I made the kids corn dogs and french fries for lunch and I didn't snack on the fries, so that is success. Had a turkey burger at work for dinner so those numbers are estimates. And it's midnight and I'm not hungry so I'm not going to try and get those last calories in before bed. I feel great, and I need sleep (plus a little Stephen King before hitting the sack).

On a different note, I've been trying to find a new (old) phone on eBay and I keep getting outbid every time I bid on one. Argh. Frustrating!

And I have a hair appointment on Saturday with a girl who came in to eat (and drink) at work tonight. I need to get my hair cut so I can stop wearing this mini ponytail and the timing was right for her to come in. I hope it looks cute, and I'll post a pic. Maybe. G'night!
