Down .6 again this morning, for a total of 5.8 lbs.  This seems to be a stalling point for me.  Hopefully I will be able to get past this and tomorrow morning I will be down and can continue to move forward.

Breakfast was two whole wheat waffles with peanut butter and banana slices.  This is by far my favorite breakfast since starting this diet adventure.  I had a bag of cocoa roasted almonds around 11 on my way back to the house, because we were so slow at work today I was going home to get Em's birthday invitations and my coupons.....so invitations have been made out and my coupons are organized.

I did a shitty job of grocery shopping last Saturday because I was in such a hurry and had to get home for the sex toy party I was hosting.  I got all the stuff on my list, but apparently my list didn't include any lunch items......so I was pretty shit of luck this week and finishing up things in the fridge.  So today I was out of food and had no lunch.  I ordered out, large garden salad topped with chicken.  They have no low fat dressing and their house dressing is basically oil.....so I got Caesar, I know not the best choice, but it is what I had.  I will admit I ate entirely too much chicken and the bread that came with it.  Hopefully I wont regret that in the morning.

There was no afternoon snack because I was so full from lunch.  Dinner was left over Chinese food - (maybe) a cup of beef and broccoli, a chicken finger and two crab rangoons.....with a glass of cranberry grape juice.......I think I may be getting a UTI.  FML.

My knees have been killing me all day and my back has been wicked tight.  But I went to Curves anyway and had a pretty good workout.  That is three days in a row and I will go tomorrow as well, Friday is a no go as I am having people over for dinner for a mini old high school group get together.

Down .6 this morning!!! Yay for heading in the right direction again.

Breakfast is a Yoplait Blueberry Greek yogurt, which I am gagging down again this morning and my Keurig Ice tea.  I only got half of it down before I tossed it around 11 o'clock.  Because it took me so long to eat half the yogurt I obviously did not have a morning snack.  Lunch was a chicken sandwich the same as yesterday with 100 cal snack pack of cookies.  My afternoon snack was a 90 calorie cheese stick which was scrumptious and 100 calorie fruit crisp.

Dinner was a cheeseburger with 50% fat free cheddar and no bun.  Covered in fresh tomatoes and homemade dill pickles thanks to Mallory and Luke, I also had a side of cucumbers and tomatoes with yogurt ranch dressing.

Curves kicked butt tonight.  I did one time around about 15 mins before Zumba started and we Zumba'd for 30 mins.  I have come to the conclusion that I am completely uncoordinated and Zumba seriously kicked my ass.

I could talk some more, but I want to start making Em's tutu for her birthday party...so I am out.

Back to the grind

I have been absent from my blogging.  Last week was so busy and this week and the month of September aren't any better to be perfectly honest.  I am going to try to blog and keep everything updated.  I have decided that I am going to "change" the way that I blog.  I am going to try to write after each meal.  It will still be contained to one post and only posted once, but I think if I take a quick 5 minutes during or after each meal, I will be able to stay on top of it and at least get something out there for the day.  So if my blogging sounds funny, like each meal that I am eating is currently happening, it probably is....does that make sense?  It makes sense in my brain - so deal.

This morning I was running late as usual for a Monday.  I was up a pound this morning maybe a pound and a half.  I honestly couldn't remember what I weighed on Friday.  But honestly I ate like shit all weekend so I am completely not surprised and glad that it is not more than that.

So back on the band wagon today.  Breakfast was a Strawberry Yoplait Greek Yogurt which I gagged down this morning and a DD medium ice coffee with skim and splenda.  I bought the Greek Yogurt on recommendation and because it was on sale and I had coupons.  I don't know how I am going to eat the three left that I have in the fridge....they were fucking gross!!!!

I didn't have a snack this morning because it took me so long to get the yogurt down.  Lunch was a chicken sandwich  on an Arnold's flat bread with mayonnaise and mustard along with a 100 calorie snack pack of Cheezits. 

I also went to Wally World at lunch and got some new clothes to work out in for Curves.  2 pairs of capris, 2 pairs of full length pants, 5 light weight tees and 3 light weight long sleeve tees oh and three new sports bras.....so now I can be fashionable while working out.  YAY me and tonight will be my second night at Curves, I would have gone over the weekend but they don't have enough members that go on the weekend so they don't open on weekends anymore.  But if I go like I say I am going to go, 5 nights a week, then I don't have a problem with taking the weekend off.   And if anyone tells me to take a nice long walk on the weekend to make up for it the next time I see you I will punch you in the fucking face.  The way I see it is I have made a drastic change to my diet and I have gone from being pretty much 100% sedentary to looking forward to working out a minimum of 3 nights a week with the hopes of getting in 5, so don't push me.  I am pushing myself as it is.  I am already irritated that I will be seeing Emma an hour less every night.  I know some of you are saying whoopie, no big deal, but I actually enjoy spending time with my daughter and taking her places with me so again fuck off.  That is the end of my rant for now.

My afternoon snack was 100 calorie fruit crisps and a cheese stick.

Curves was great tonight.  I pushed myself and could feel it in 90% of the machines I used.  A "full" workout is going around twice.  Which is what I did and eventually I would like to get up to 3-4 times around, but that will come in time.

Dinner tonight is split chicken breast with Mesquite Chicken seasoning, salad and Dustin and I are splitting a baked potato....I can't wait for dinner, which is currently cooking on the grill!

Its been a couple of days.....I haven't fallen of the band wagon, but the last couple of days have been rough.  The days have gone well, but the nights/dinners have been difficult.  I need to go grocery shopping and get myself re-established.

On the plus side I joined Curves tonight, but I was not able to work out.  Tonight was one of the Zumba nights and by the time I was finished with the paperwork and measurements and everything else...there was only about 10 minutes left of Zumba, which I was not going to pay extra for.  So I asked if they get the room back together in time for me to be able to get a work out in before closing.  To which they responded they need about 45 minutes to walk me through everything the first time.  Which I don't really need, but its what she said, so I have to stick with it.

So my first work out will be tomorrow night....I will be running late for girls night.  We are having dinner at Applebee's, but I already have my dinner picked out after looking at the nutritional information on the website.  I am going to go with one of the 550 calorie meals.  Either the steak with asiago or the chicken with stuffed portabellas.  Both sound super yummy.

I don't really know what my weight is at the moment....my scale has been broken.  It is still reading weight it is just way inaccurate.  I would get on one morning and be down like 5 pounds, so I would weigh myself again and it would be different and different and different.  I bought a new scale today, so I am hoping that it hasn't been way off for some time.

Emma is sick, for the first time.  She has a cold and is absolutely miserable.  I feel so bad for her, she is so stuffy and the baby saline is not working well.

I am getting back on the blogging band wagon.  Promise!!! For those of you that care, lol.

I had so much to say earlier.....was going to vent/rant a little.  But I am just going to let it go.

I was up .8 from the weekend, which I fully expected and I am super happy that it wasn't more.  I don't remember if I blogged on Friday or what I ate during the day.  Dinner was a baked chicken something or other, with potatoes and a roll.  In the car on the way down I had a 100 calorie snack pack of Cheezits and a Twix Ice Cream bar.

Saturday was not good, not good at all.  Breakfast was fruit and a toasted bagel thin with light butter.  Lunch was a hamburger, some chips and some pasta salad.  There was tons of junk at the party and I pretty much picked all day.  There was no dinner, I was full and felt disgusting.  the night ended with a Mojito.

Sunday was not really any better the morning started off with Dutch waffles, which are super fucking yummy and I don't think there is anything remotely nutritional about them.  We got on the road to go home shortly after breakfast and had lunch on the road which was cheese pizza and french fries.  Emma had her first taste of cheese pizza and loved it.  Dinner ended with pizza as well, I was too tired to cook anything and so was Dustin.  It was thin crust onion and garlic and chicken.......so good.

So like I said, I wasn't surprised that the scale was up this morning but happy that it wasn't a lot.  On another note, I don't know what the problem is when I travel.  But I literally did not shit all weekend long, which I don't really understand.  I don't have issues with going to the bathroom in public places, so why I cant go while traveling is beyond me.....and extremely uncomfortable.  I literally went after like 10 mins of walking through the door.

I wasn't overly prepared for this week.  I haven't gone grocery shopping and am going off of what is left in the fridge.  So this morning was blueberry yocrunch yogurt.  Lunch was a portabella marsala cafe steamer.  I also snacked on fresh cherries that Jan brought in today.  I also had 2 100 calorie snack pack of cookies through out the day.  Dinner was a haddock fillet, with corn on the cob (fresh from Jan's garden) and salad.  All super yummy.

I am pretty confident that I will be back down tomorrow if not all .8, pretty close to it.

quick post again tonight.  I was down .2 this morning.  Not a lot but enough to count.  Bringing the total to 5.8 pounds.

Breakfast was 1 cup of berry kashi cereal and 3/4 cup of 1% milk along with a V8 Fruit Fusion.  I did eat breakfast at home this morning and I still wasn't too hungry for a snack around 10:30, but I had one anyway.  It was a 100 calorie fruit crisp.

Lunch was a Lemon Chicken cafe steamer that had green beans and cherry tomatoes with pasta.  YUMMY!  I had a green apple about an hour earlier.

Dinner was going to be late.  So I had a couple of wheat thins with some red pepper hummus.  Dinner was a beef roast with a baked potato and peppers and onions.

I have a feeling that I am not going to be down tomorrow.  I wasn't really hungry all day....so I guess we will see.

Posts might be off this weekend, because I am leaving for NJ/NY tomorrow after work.  I am going to try to remember my lap top.  Here's to hoping!

ok, I am going to be a loser and just do a quick blog. Because I literally just walked through the door and my husband looks super irritated that I am on the computer.  I was down .6 this morning, but I think it is actually 1.6 from yesterday for a total of 5.6.  WOOOOHOOOO

Breakfast was a yocrunch blueberry yogurt and a fruit fusion.  I have been trying to eat breakfast at home vs at work...it almost an hour earlier and snack time is more appropriate.  I had a snack around 10:30 a 100 cal fruit crisp.

Lunch was a balsamic chicken cafe steamer that was super yummy and green apple.  I was still a little hungry but held off for a little while.  I ended up eating a cheese stick and 100 cal snack pack of cookies.

Dinner was going to be late bc I had a hair appt right after work, so I had a 100 snack pack of cocoa toasted almonds on the way.  And dinner was left over spaghetti again.  I didnt measure tonight, it was definately more than a cup but not as much as I would have liked to eat.

That is all!
