Well by some miracle of miracles I am down 2 pounds this week! I was so excited when I stepped on the scales this morning. I am feeling so good about myself! Last night at church someone even asked me if I had lost weight and told me I looked great! And my sister noticed as well. :)
This week I have a lot going on. My husband is graduating with his doctorate so tonight is his banquet and tomorrow is his graduation. We will have a lot of family in which equals a lot of delicious food. We have a…

Once again, I did not exercise. I did not do anything! I am in some kind of slump and I don't like it! My husband who is normally very active and always has to be outside doing something has been sitting on the couch all the time. He says, "I'm learning to take it easy".…

NONE I feel terrible about it but I think my body was just all messed up from the weekend of weird sleeping times. I was just exhausted and I had a headache. Not to mention I also worked an 11 hour day yesterday. Blah. That's…

Hello Everyone! Thanks for the sweet comments on my last post about blowing it. I am happy to report that I did not continue on a binge. I got right back on track and I stuck to my points Saturday and yesterday. The scales are also moving in the right direction. I normally don't step on the scales until weigh in day but I guess I was just nervous about it with all that I ate. I have to keep reminding myself like Roni does sometimes that one night of eating is not going to reverse every bit of wo…

Well ladies I blew it last night. It all started when I did a favor for one of the ladies at work yesterday. To thank me, at about 4:00 she brought me a Diet Coke and a Milky Way. Those are my favorite. So I ate the whole stinking thing. At the time I was like, well no big deal, I can still stay in my points if I just eat a healthy dinner. Then I went to my mom's house and they decided they wanted to go to Zaxby's to eat. I love Zaxby's. They have the best french fries and chicken fingers in the…

Hey guys! I have been a little MIA these past couple of days and I feel out of the loop! It's not even like it's been all that long, it just feels like it since I haven't posted my food in a couple of days. We had to go to Nashville yesterday so I barely went anywhere near a computer. We did eat out for lunch and splurge a little bit but I just counted it all to my extra 35 points. It doesn't bother me to splurge on one big meal because with my activity points I feel like I am getting to splurge…

I am so stinking annoyed because this temporary crown will not stay put! I went to have it fixed again this morning but it popped off at lunch. It is going to be at least a week until my permanent crown comes in. I guess there are a lot of smoothies in my future. They gave…

Breakfast/Snack:
Applesauce - 1 point
Lunch:
A few French Fries - 2 points - I only got to eat like 5 or 6
Lunch is where it all went to crap. My temporary crown came off! I don't get to go back to the dentist until the morning to fix it. I had just barely started lunch before it came off so I had to throw it away. So all I can have is liquids/food I don't have to chew. Blah!
Snack:
5 Dove Chocolate Pieces - 5 points (It melted in my mouth, I didn't have to chew. Bad choice though, I know, I…

Mondays kinda suck because you have to go back to work but they are great in that there is at least some structure to the day. I eat breakfast on time, I have my snacks planned out, all that good stuff. If only there were more hours when I get home from work! I am going to make myself do the Shred again today. My goal is to actually do 30 days in a row of it, just like it was made for. I am very curious to see the difference at the end of those 30 days. On top of that I have laundry to do and I…

I just had to write and say that I just did the 30 Day Shred Level One. Holy cow am I in worse shape than I thought! I had to follow the beginner lady and even then I took at least 5 breaks. I even got so worn out at one point that I turned it off. I was like, Forget IT. Then I caught my breath and I thought of how much better I would feel if I just finished it. So I did! I am going to keep at it because I was really kind of embarrassed to say that I couldn't even do it the whole way through!!!…

So today was weigh in day. I GAINED a pound. A whole stinking pound. Ugh. It's totally all my fault because yesterday I did so well until the evening. I stuck to my plan, I ate within my points. My mom and I made spaghetti and veggies and then I went to church. I had no points left but I was fine with that because I was totally satisfied. Then I got to church. Where they were having a potluck. I had some 7 layer dip, some pigs in a blanket, a piece of zuchinni bread, and some pasta salad. And I…

I feel so like blah today. I didn't get anything done last night that I wanted to except I did fit a short walk in. When I got home my husband was sitting on the couch and it just looked so inviting so we spent the evening watching episodes of The Office. It was nice but I wish I would have at least cleaned house. That would make me feel so much better. I woke up in a great mood but then got the lovely news that my car is going to cost $550 to fix! Also, I had to go the emergency room a few week…

I have so much to do tonight! My car is broken so we have to take it to the shop, then I need to do a major cleaning of the house. There's laundry and vacuuming and floors and on and on. I also need to do some grocery shopping. I am out of yogurt to make my smoothies and fruit and snacks. It makes it hard to make a good choice when there's not much to choose from. And somewhere in there I need to fit in a run. I have not been running since last Tuesday and although I have been walking and played…

Well I didn't exaclty eat all my fruits and veggies yesterday but I did have a NSV because I went to a cookout/pool party last night and brought a turkey sub and baked chips and played volleyball for a couple of hours instead of sitting around and eating hot dogs and cookies and gossiping. :) I also drank all of my water. I felt really good at the end of the day with the choices I made. Here is my journal!
Breakfast:
Oatmeal - 2 points

Pretzel Sticks - 2 points

Well I have to say I definitely ate my extra 35 point this weekend plus some activity points. I didn't go crazy but I did not eat very healthy. I felt fine about it though because on the first day alone we walked about 8 1/2 miles! Then Saturday we walked some more, then Sunday morning we walked 3 miles on the beach before we left to come home. I insisted that we park in one place and then walk everywhere each day. My legs are pretty sore but it's a good feeling!
We were not able to eat at Paula…
