TGIF

First let start by telling you how happy I am that I finaly got a music player on my page. I'm so proud of myself when I do computer things with out having to ask my husband how to do it. Okay now to my post..................


I’m so happy that today is Friday, it’s been the week from hell here at work and I can’t wait to get as far away from it as I possible can. The stress at work is making me want to eat and I’m really trying to fight it, I’ve been good so far today and I wasn’t to bad yesterday. Tonight is going have it’s challenges tho, see I’m meeting on of Austin’s old co-works and his wife for the first time tonight. Nate and Becky are newly Weds like Austin and I. I believe that they got married in October, we were invited but couldn’t't go because we used all of vacation time to go on out honeymoon (the wedding was in MD I think). Anyway I guess he suggested that we go to the Texas Roadhouse and my husband being my Husband was like sure thinking that I could go on the internet and find the points of what I wanted to eat like I always do. As you know the Texas Roadhouse does not have information on there website regarding things of the nature so I guess I’m stuck with salad, I don’t want to blow my whole day in one meal I’ve been good and I really want it to stay that way. Beside being nerves about the food choices that I have to pick from there, I don’t do well with new people. I tend not to talk much and some people take that the wrong way, I’m just not good at breaking the ice and starting conversation os I’m hoping that Becky is. It’s time to take off, I have to pick Lucian (the puppy) up at daycare (yes I send my puppy to dogie daycare:) ) before I can go home and get ready to go. I’ll be back tonight to let ya’ll know how it went and a food journal.

Daily Weigh In!

Today I did some good things and some not so good things:

Good things:

1. Worked out this morning
2. Tracked everything that I ate so far today
3. Drank all my water today and its only 4:10pm
4. Planning a healthy dinner for tonight

Bad things:

1. Ate to much at lunch. I has a business meeting and I should have gotten what I told myself I was going to get ( cup of soup and salad) instead I got a cup of soup (it was on the creamy side) and those dumb chicken mini rancher things that I see all over TV. Let me tell ya something……they better then that taste so don’t even waste the points. I’m estimating that they are 5 or 6 a piece.
2. Drank 2 big diet cokes at lunch and then another 20oz when I got back to the office after I told my husband that I was going to stop drinking it. I told him that I would stop drinking it because he heard from someone that the fake sugar in to isn’t good for your ovaries and since we want to have a baby in the near future he asked me to kick my coke habit and I agreed. I failed miserably at this today.

Other then those two things I'm doing okay today. I lost 1.2lbs last night at weight in thats puts me back to 159.6 wich is back to where I was before I gained that pound last week. I'll beack tonight to post my food journal.

Oh my Goodness

It's been a while since I posted! Okay the big news................I'm NOT preggers, as disappointed as I am, I'm also kinda of happy....(if it's possible to be these to things at once) because I really don't think we can handle that right now with everything that's going on.

The remolding is going very slow, we keep running into roads blocks on the journey to our new bedroom.......but hey that's life and I just have to deal with sleeping on a futon in the dinning room. Also the puppy is turning one and the past few days have been very bad, doing things like peeing in the house, and ripping stuff up, things he hasn't done in months. I have a feeling it's because we cut back on taking him to daycare. It's just expensive to hake 3 times a week, so we do 2 times a week now. I just don't think the walks do it for him anymore, he needs to be with the other dogs and run and play all day long. I haven't taken in a while because I had off Thursday, Friday and Monday. Whats that you ask...how what the holiday?

Do you really want to know? It was.....well lets just say it was something special and no not in a good way. Lets see I did really good Thursday and then Friday I ate way to much at dinner, we went to Olive garden after church and then I ate a ton of candy. Saturday wasn't much better, I went to Kutztown with my mom to pick my sister up from University for Easter and on the way home my sister wanted BK and I know I could have controlled myself, but guess what I didn't and I had a chicken sandwich meal and yes it was fried and it had cheese on it. Then it was 9:00pm by the time I was hungry for dinner and by that time I didn't feel much like cooking so I made a frozen pizza, I had 2 slices witch isn't that bad. Then Easter came and I ate half a pound of twizzlers, mini snickers and all other kinds of candy before lunch which was stuffed shells and about 2hrs later I went to my husband family and had another whole meal. Can we pig....because that's what I am I totally didn't need to eat that much, not in a million years. Wednesday will tell me just had bad I was and I have no one to blame but myself, I do it every time. I'm always shooting my self in the foot.

Happy St. Patty's Day

just a little note today....I did good eating wise over the weekend. I didn't drink nearly enough water tho. I don't really drink much of anything when I'm home so that's something that I need to work on.

I still didn't get my TOM and I'm stopping at the CVS on my way home to pick up some test. I'll update again tomorrow

Yay it's Friday

Today I had a good day on program today,unlike yesterday....okay thats not true I had a good day yesterday untill I ate negative 19. thats right people I ate negative 19 points yesterday. Want to know how I did it? Well even if you don't I'm going to tell you.....

it all started yesterday morning when I went to get dressed and as I was putting on my work paints I noticed that I couldn't possablie pull the belt any tighter, I had to wear jeans to work not a big deal. Anyway back to the story, so I get home from work and I tell my husband that he needs to take me to Old Navy toget paints, so we go.
We drove to NJ becasue there is a Shope Right near the mall there and I wanted to stop in to see what Weight Watcher food they carry, I bought so much and the chocolate chip cookies. Then we went to the mall and I got my paint and as always I was starving and we decided to go to Don Pablo's. Not a big if I would have gotten the momma's skinny enchiladas like always, but I didn't I got 2 chicken and a cheese with rice and a corn cake. There was nothing left on my plate when I got done.

So anyway today I'm back on track, I'm going home to make homemade pizza crust and all. I think the hubby and I are going to watch a movie and clean the house tonight. Talk to ya'll on Monday. Have a great weekend

Baby.....Maybe?!?

Tonight is weigh in and I'm thinking that did okay this week. I started a little challenge 2 weeks ago to lose 26lbs by memorial day, that's 2lb a week for the next 10 weeks. Doable? I think so, if I can keep my head in the right place.

Which has been kinda hard for the past 2 weeks or so, see I haven't gotten my TOM yet this month and I'm not taking my BC anymore because it wasn't agreeing with me and lets just say that the hubby and I have been careful, but not really careful. The long and short of it is that I haven't taken the test yet because I didn't right down the last time that TOM came so in reality I don't know if it's late or not so I'm going to wait until Saturday and if I don't have it by then I'll take the test, witch I bought the last time this happened (I was on the pill and it was still late) so who knows, my weight loss blog could be turning into a baby blog. I've always wanted a baby, but we wanted to have a summer baby because we both have winter birthdays around other holidays which is easy when your birthday is in November and January. Anyway we thought it would be nice to have something to look forwarded to in the summer, but I'm going to take what God gives me.

Well that's all for me today, I'll post my food journal after I weigh in. Wish me luck, I'll be so happy if I'm preggers.

Did I tell you things are better

Because if I didn't.....they totally are. After that craptastic weekend that I've had, I managed to get myself back on track with counting points. I even went back and journaled everything that ate this weekend. This is a big step for me in changing my all or nothing attitude. Tomorrow is weight in and I think that I'm going to do really well, I'm down like 2lbs on my scale at home but we all know how I weight myself (in the morning and nude ). No gym for me tonight, I'm still feeling a little sick. Morning Scale Reading: 159.4

Not feeling great today

but my eating is under control after all hell broke lose over the weekend. There is really nothing else to update on, I haven't been doing much because I don't well. My husband gave a lovely cold that he got at work. This weekend was filled with running around, eating out and cleaning. We bought a new fridge this weekend, I can't what to get it here is picture if you care


It was a little more then what we wanted to spend, but for the money and the brand it was hard to pass up......so we didn't. We also decide to get a new stove, cabinets and floor in the kitchen. We are thinking of doing a slid in stove. We are thinking of getting white washed cabinets and a black cherry, white tile floor. I love hearts and would be hanging them everywhere. I think that's it for me.




Here is my food so far today. I'll update it with dinner as soon as I know what I'm making :)

Weigh in update

Last night was my weight watchers meeting and as I suspected I was up. Not a whole lot but when you've gained and lost the same 3lbs for the six months you don't want to go up. This week I think is going to better for me, so far today I've done really well and I have 7.5 points left for dinner and I'm planing on making low crab chicken soft tacos with spicy chicken that I cooked earlier in the week.
I was thinking alot today about were I want to see myself come Memorial day. I've been going to beach that weekend for the past 3yrs with my husbands family. I really want to look good in a bathing suit this year. So if I work really hard I can hit my Weight Watchers goal by that time, or come close to it. If I lose 2lbs a week for the next 12 weeks I'll be at goal witch is 135lbs (personal goal 115lbs). I think that this is doable, plus its going to give me motivation. So I'm going to be working my little butt off till then. I know I can do this.
This is my food for today:

Today is just Craptastic

That's right I said it......craptastic. It's dark and cold and rainy and all around gross outside. I'm really not looking forward to the 45min drive home from work that I have. On days like today it will could take me anywhere from 45min to 2hr to get home depending on how people are driving and fender benders. I am happy to report that my eating was very good today, that's 2 days in a row, I just have to keep going and keep eating within my points. The weekends are never easy for me, I'm ether way busy and forget to eat and by the time I get around to it I'm so hungry I eat everything or there is nothing going on and I have to fight to keep myself from snacking the whole day. I really have to start being stricter with myself on the weekends, I don't want to blow everything in just 2 days and that's seems to be the pattern of things.

It's Monday

And all I can say is I'm tired. Saturday night I baked two cakes and cupcakes, for Julia's puppy themed cake. The cake came out really nice, I forgot to take pictures of it to post but it came out looking like a puppy. I didn't have a really good week eating or sleeping wise. The husbands snoring is out of hand and I've been sleeping on the sofa on and off for a few weeks now. It would be nice to sleep next to my husband, but when you wear ear plugs and you can still hear him snoring it's better to just go in to living to sleep. I don't know why it drives me so crazy, I can't stand the sound of it, when there is a commercial on the radio or TV and someone is snoring I have to turn it off, it makes me go nuts. Well anyway back to the point of this post, I was tried and their for feeling lazy and that turned into making crap choices for food because I didn't feel like doing anything because I didn't sleep. And as a result of that I'm feeling like I don't want to eat good today, but I'm making myself or I'll never get back on track. Weight in is on Wednesday and I want to stay the same because I don't think losing is an option at the moment.
