We sometimes have chicken burritos for breakfast - ww wrap with shredded cheese heated in ff salsa and ff cheese. Yummy. This is some fruit is one of my favourite breakfasts. We eat oatmeal most days but it does get boring.
I love your confidence and bluster! I'm personally a big believer in both. There's that cheesy quote "Shoot for the moon. Even if you'll miss you'll land amongst the stars." Sooo cheesy, but true. I always shoot high and know that even if I don't cl…
Please don't knock yourself for enjoying the holiday season. They were designed to be insurmountable. Look at the many factors involved in getting you to eat more...advertising, tradition, parties, work food, shopping breaks for food, cookie insanit…
It is sad that processed food from places like McDonald's are more recognizable and more tantalizing than real food. Keep reading, keep quoting, we all need the reminder of what fast food is doing to us.
We went to a weight loss clinic and part of the "diet" was to eat a high protein breakfast.
We eat lean meats for breakfast.
I know it sounds weird to eat ham, chicken or sometimes hamburger for breakfast, it's worked for us.
Protein shakes were l…
Interesting stuff. I myself worked at Burger King for about a month when I was in high school, then in an ice cream shop called Lic's in college.
"Old Arlene" has been winning the last few days. Must fight harder!
Those facts are certainly disturbing. Keep on reading and sharing.
You are gonna LOVE the Nike+. It's so good to have you back! CONGRATULATIONS ON 50 POUNDS!!!!!! Holy crap. That is amazing!!!
Weighed in on Tuesday and I found out that I was actually getting my Christmas present early!! I broke the 50 pound weight loss mark!! (And did it with an extra .2 to spare!). I was shocked! I've been good, but I just didn't think I was going to mak…
Join us for support, ideas and recipes for the holidays. We will all help each other stay on track and go into the New Year making healthy choices!
We miss you. Glad you enjoyed the 5K. You look great and you are just going to continue to be as successful as ever! Look forward to hearing your voice again soon!
Happy holidays! YOU LOOK GREAT! Way to go on your first 5k. So glad to hear you'll be getting a computer soon. :-)

- About Me:
- I joined Weight Watchers on May 21, 2009. I had done it online before, but this time things feel different and better. I am a stay at home mom. I'm 33 years old. I've moved 19 times in my life. I feel like I exist in a constant state of change. This time around though I am trying to direct it more.
I know I've messed up a date or two. Sooooo annoying. But somehow this was tricky for me to get right 6 months after I began. I should have done this much sooner. Just didn't. Oh well.

Start Weight - 223 (height 5'9" b/c I know I always wonder about people's height versus their weight) (the highest weight I can be according to WW is 169)
Goal - I think 160 pounds would work well for me. I did it once in my life. It lasted about 1 month maybe (sad). I know WW wants me to wait to decide on a goal weight until I lose 10% of my original body weight. So this may change.
- Plan of Choice:
- Weight Watchers
- Workout Philosophy:
- I loath exercice, I only exercise because I have to

To keep me honest...
I wrote a blog yesterday about winning over the "Old Erin"...and then she read that...and then kicked my tush.
Hard.
Failure, failure, failure.
I do not do well in a week where there is a major holiday. One day off makes me slide for the whole week. I don't ever slide more than that, but it's bad enough for me. Right now I am about to go on a run. When I come back I am going to try to be so strong and stay on track for the rest of my week (my WW weeks end on Thursdays...but I do weigh-in tomorro… Continue

Did you know...
According to the book "Fast Food Nation", which I am re-reading right now b/c I think it helps me to be stronger in my decisions, one in eight Americans has worked for McDonalds in their life? That just shocks me. That's a huge percentage of the population that has helped to build an institution that holds very little nutritional benefit for us. (And those people, for the most part, made very little financially to make it worth it.)

Best Christmas Present!
Weighed in on Tuesday and I found out that I was actually getting my Christmas present early!! I broke the 50 pound weight loss mark!! (And did it with an extra .2 to spare!). I was shocked! I've been good, but I just didn't think I was going to make it. And to do it early was amazing. Totally made my Christmas!
That being said...the trick will be keeping it off until my weigh-in on Tuesday of this week (had to do Tuesdays instead of Thursdays b/c of how the holidays fell). I wanted to enter the… Continue

Missing but not gone...
I'm still without a computer until Christmas when my sister will be giving us her hand me down one. I HATE being so out of it. The holidays have been okay so far. I've tried to stay on course. Ran my first 5K today. It was fun! And easy! (Ran with my dad and his pace is slow for me.)
I'll be back soon. I don't think I am going to make my goal of losing 50 lbs by x-mas...but, I'm not doing too badly. I gained, but I think I'm back to where I was. I have about 4 pounds to go, but I'm not holding m… Continue

fried computer
A freak electrical storm FRIED our computer. I am on my husband's blackberry. Might be MIA for a while. Thanksgiving was okay. Ran 4 miles, but overate by 15 points for the week. Thought I could be stronger. But I also feel like I enjoyed the day without losing it too much. I got up this morning, ran 4 miles, and stayed OP all day. I will really miss checking in every day. Don't know when we'll be back online. Thiis could really hurt financially at this time of year, or any time honestly. Hope y… Continue

- I don't think you know how much you make me want to be more committed to my journey. I love the way you always push past your challenges so it is my true pleasure to offer support because you make me want to do better. Happy Thanksgiving Erin!

StEpHaNiE* said… - Hey! Thanks for your comment! Movie food over here is weird. There's still popcorn and nachos but they look very unappetizing and the popcorn just doesn't smell like popcorn. And then they also have other booths that have all different kinds of fruit juices and then of course one with a bunch of korean food. I've only been once so far but nothing there really made me feel like snacking haha. And thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes :) I'm Canadian so my Thanskgiving was actually a while ago but Thanksgiving isn't really an issue for me because I'm a vegetarian (for which I am thankful after reading so many posts about how hard Thanksgiving is). I would have loved a Tofurkey but that's obviously impossible to find over here. Anyways enjoy the rest of your week!!!

Lynn said… - Hi Erin. Thanks so much for such a great comment this morning. I truly do appreciate it. And it makes me sad also. My husband is so proud of me when I do well at WW but he just can not understand that the constant eating out is working against all my efforts.

Hawtmomma said… - I marinated the broccoli in some balsamic vinagrette dressing & then I put in a veggie grill pan ( not really sure what it's called) & put it on the grill right next to my steaks. Doesn't take too long to do it though. Mine were pretty crispy but i liked them that way. I will DEFINITELY be making it again & try different marinades. Hope you enjoy it too!

Darlene said… - Thanks Erin for your comment back in October about trying on smaller sizes. I actually haven't tried smaller pants yet just because my others still fit. But it is a great idea and I think I will do try some on! I actually have smaller ones somewhere around here (you know the closet with multiple sizes! ). Thanks for the great idea!
