Been a little off plan the last couple of days. Not so much off plan but definitely more tempted than in the last 2 months. And unfortunately, have fallen into those temptations a few times.
Cookies, Atkin's coconut bars.... not good.
So dipped into my weeklies a bit this week and I can tell on the scale. Just finished my lunch which was a japanese box lunch at our favorite Japanese place. It consisted of:
3oz chicken - or there abouts. I ate about 2 oz.
3 pieces of tempura (veggie)
2 pieces of cali roll, 2 pieces of salmon roll, 2 pieces of tuna roll
miso soup
sunomono salad - didn't eat this.
AND A WHACK of SALT/SOY! mmmmm good
Time for water and time to stay on track for the weekend. Wanna be at 194 by monday. We'll see.

Ta Da....
It's cute right? It's even cuter now that I'm out of the salon and no longer sitting next to Kim Kardashian look alike. The SPITTING IMAGE! I wish I had the guts to take a picture... but I didn't.
Lunchtime - cottage cheese, veggies/dip, wasa crackers and almond butter... MMMMM not.
Crushin' on Oz
I have a secret crush on Dr. Oz. Ok - maybe not so much a secret anymore. A few weeks back when I was sick, I took to watching him and found that each episode I watched, I learned something. I'm all for educational programs ya know!
So I started to PVR his afternoon show. S thinks I'm nuts, but whatever, I'm crushin on him. Leave me alone.
Yesterday's episode was about his quest to help a 31 year old woman that is over 700lbs. She graduated high school at over 500 lbs so this has been her life. She was on the Dr. Oz show because she wants to do something about it. What I loved about this episode was the frank discussion with her that her medical numbers/results from her blood work are astronomical. Death sentence numbers. And he was frank about it. No pussy footing around with her, she needs to do something and do something now. It was a good episode..
We'll see what today's epi brings!
In other news - today is haircut day. Not sure what I'm going to do with it.... but here is my before (god what a bad picture)... but before pictures are always bad...
But I think my hair is worse... flat boring.....blah.
Hair at noon - will take an "after" AFTER.
peace out!

Coming clean
So in my last post I mentioned a Sausage McMuffin. Yes, I ate a Sausage McMuffin. It wasn't planned. I didn't go out and buy it with the intention of eating it. Here's the story:
Every Tuesday morning big N has early morning practice. That means he leaves the house at 5:20 with dad. Sugar and I pick him up at 7:00 when the practice is over and as a treat I thought I would pick them up breakfast at McDonalds. Sugar ordered his big breakfast. I ordered Big N gets 2 Egg/Sausage McMuffins, a carrot muffin and a chocolate milk.
Don't bash me because I feed my kids this. They don't eat it that often and seriously, they are more fit than I ever have been or dream to be... I digress.
Well after I picked up big N from practice, I normally drive them home, where they proceed to get ready for the day and head to school. I drop them off and head to work myself. When we got home yesterday big N turned to me and said that he was not feeling well so that meant me switching up my day to work from home.
He had a tummy ache and felt dizzy so he was not hungry, had a shower and went to bed. I dropped Sugar off at school at 8:45. At 9am I stopped in the kitchen to put the coffee pot on and saw the bag sitting there. At first I thought, nah... it's not even going to be warm anymore. But then I thought, well I can heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave. So I did. I threw out the egg, (cause Ew) and proceeded to warm that bad boy up. It was a little soggy when I removed it from the microwave and I remember saying to myself, this is not going to be good. And it really wasn't. I ate it all though. I'm not sure why...
After I ate it I figured out the points for it. 10 PTS! look see for yourself:
and honestly, about 30 minutes after I ate it my tummy started doing flip flops and I had multiple trips to the bathroom. I will spare you those details.
So it was gross - I counted the points though. I'm pretty sure I won't do this again but kinda felt I needed to come clean with it.
So there ya go. Enjoy this little cartoon I found today - Pretty much sums it up!

Obsessive Compulsiveness
I worked from home yesterday because big N was sick. I love working from home because I save the 2 hour round trip commuting time, I can throw in a load of laundry and I typically eat a bit healthier when I'm at home.
This was all true for yesterday with the exception of the McDonald's Sausage McMuffin in the morning. We are not going to talk about that though - not now anyway.
One problem when I work from home is my obsession with the scale. I will weigh myself each and every time I go to the bathroom. If I am drinking a lot of water (which I'm trying to do these days), I can be in there every 2 hours sometimes more often. That's a lot of times to stand up and down on the scale. I hate this about me, but it's just something I do.
Am I the only freak out there?
This morning though the scale did move to a brand new value that I have not seen in awhile, it was very exciting. I'm not writing it down on the blog though, but I do have it in my little notebook here as motivation to keep going.
Also need to make a note to myself to buy a new set of batteries for the scale... for backup just in case !!
Squueeeee...
oh and the Sausage McMuff had me in the bathroom for a whole different reason yesterday... not doing that again anytime soon!

shhh, although it's not really a secret..
That I need new bras!!! It's a good thing I guess that my boobs are shrinking, but not a good thing in that I need to now go to the store and get a better fitting bra. It's one of the things I hate shopping for most, other than a swimsuit, cause that is the absolute worst, isn't it?
Ok - Hair cut on thursday, I'll go bra shopping on friday - or maybe after work tomorrow. I still need to find something to wear to the dance on saturday too. I think it will just be my fall back black pants and a blouse of some sort. I don't really feel like dropping a bunch of money on an outfit that might (hopefully) won't fit me by the start of summer.
Down 1 lb. Which is a bit better from the stalemate of yesterday. So 196. Feels good. Hope to be 194 by next monday... we'll see.
I was 201 on Feb 1st and I'm 196 on March 1st... hmmm gotta kick myself into gear here!
