Take 3

Actually yesterday was better than the previous days have been and I've now discovered it's TOM week (a leetle early) so that does explain some of the chowing down. Well a lot of the chowing down actually.

Had more water yesterday than normal.
Had a decent (smaller) lunch
Had a small dinner
Very few snackie type stuff before dinner
Did have a Haagan Das ice cream bar after dinner but .... otherwise I was good.

Goals for today are the water thing, the fruit & veggie thing and well that's it... baby steps.

Take 2.

So I realize when I have this bloody blog open I tend to be more concerned about what I put in my mouth. I did not do very well this week. Did go camping on the weekend and apart from the margaritas, managed to do quite well with food. it's the snacking at night that is killing me.

Tonight is chicken and prawns so I will be a good girl and not snack when I get home. I also need to do my due diligence and slice up my veggies at night so they are always on hand.

So - no change in weight but at least I'm thinking about it again.

Step 1 - keep the blog open.
Step 2 - drink my water
Step 3 - no more ice cream!!!

should be easy, right?

We'll see

A rough start

Well it was a rough start yesterday. I did very well at work, eating roughly 2/3 of my allotted points for the day which would provide me with 12 or so points for dinner. Well that didn't happen. When I got home, dinner was not yet made - I know bratty to say, but when there is no dinner there is no plan. And when there is no plan, there is utter chaos!

I ate a granola bar, nutrigrain bar and 2 chocolate chip cookies while waiting for a decision on dinner. Then when a decision could not be made, I ate a small bowl full of tortilla chips. Do you see where this is going?

Nobody is hungry for dinner so I shared a bowl of pasta salad with R and then had a hamburger bun with a slice of cheese in it. And then another one (although R took 1/2 from me).

Then we went out and got ice cream. A small bowl of cherry ice cream.

And then I had 2 cans of ginger ale.

Fail. 

But.... I recorded it - used up most if not all of my weeklies. I think I under estimated some of the items but at least I tried.

Let's hope today goes a bit smoother.

OMG seriously??? It's July

And I've gained back almost all the weight that I lost....

So I'm here again. Starting WW again officially even though I never really quit, I just stopped tracking completely.

Back at it today.... wanna be down 15 by September.

Where does the time go???

Well, I'm still alive.

Today is the SLOWEST day EVER!!!

Short recap - had a good weekend away with big N! He had a great tournament and we received a number of interested envelopes from scouts and a few emails upon our return home for other tournaments. Glad to see that he is succeeding and is only 11 years old (well almost 12).

I dread the day when he has to leave me to go play in some god foresaken hick town in Saskatchewan but for now, I'll just be a proud mamma!

I managed to work out one time while I was away. It was soooo hard. Need to get back on the road and start running again. Will start this on the weekend cause our weekend is quiet.

I managed to lose 2 lbs while I was away which brought me to a total of 19 lbs lost! And then I started eating.. EVERYTHING in site I might add. I am now up 4 lbs... gah. I hate the sabotage game I play with myself.

Giving myself the weekend to regroup, get back into exercise and then starting up WW again on Monday. Really want to get down another 10 by summer... We'll see.

That's it for now. I'll try to post more because more means I'm accountable.

Happy Friday!

Here we go again...

Tom week which means bad choices, pain and suffering. Gawd, sometimes I hate being a girl!!


Yesterday I managed to stuff down my gullet  -
Breakfast - oatmeal, blueberries and coffee
snack - banana
lunch - cheese/turkey sandwich, cucumbers

Here is where the day takes a drastic nose dive:
Snack - pack of wine gums, Atkins coconut snack bar
2nd afternoon snack - 5 triscuits

Dinner - 3 slices of chicken/pesto pizza
1st after dinner snack - fried tofu

dessert - skinny cow ice cream
2nd after dinner snack - 2 chocolate cookies.

Nuff said.

Needless to say - need to drink me some water today and rid myself of the shame!

Crazy Ass Weekend...
