Day 212, 213 & 214

Saturday
I made good choices because I knew that I would be eating and drinking at the party
We had a such a good time eating, drinking and playing cards

Sunday
No good food choices
Mostly junk
Upset stomach...body is rebelling

Monday
Back on track
In a pissy mood though
Tonight I figured out why, spotting
So this is the wonderful period week...it explains the migraine all day
Breakfast-granola bar, coke and english muffin
Lunch-bagel with cream cheese, applesauce, pudding
Snack-coke, muffin
Dinner-spaghetti with meat sauce and 2 oranges
Snack-2 point snacks and hot chocolate with FF milk
I'm over in my points but my body is telling me I need a little extra calories in my body this week

Day 211

Damn this has been a great day!
Started off by weighing and I have lost 2.8 this week then that brings the grand total to 46.8
That freakin' rocks!

I saw a picture of myself in last years yearbook. Oh my! I was a honkin' cow! I'm going to copy it next week and post it all over my house. It looks like a totally different person!

Only had to work half a day because I had a head CT scheduled today
I was a little stressed about it because several people had said it was pretty rough
Hell! My appointment was at 1 and I was out of there at 1:11!
So I went shopping by myself!

Tonight, went to a work party without my children and had a blast!
It was so nice to be around adults with no children hanging all over me and screaming "Mommy!"

As for food:
I stayed right on track for the day
Than ate a little extra tonight
But I had planned on that since I had some flex points left and most of all...I deserve it!

Will not post tomorrow night because I will be a slumber party in Jenks with no children!

Day 209 & 210

Damn, fell asleep again last night
I have been so tired this week
But work has had me workin' like a dog so....it happens

Wednesday:
After being so hungry yesterday, today I was fine
Breakfast: english muffin, juice, coke and granola bar
Lunch: applesauce, bagel with cream cheese, pudding and oranges
Snack: 2 point cookies, coke
Dinner: chili
After dinner snack: had points left so I had a coke and popcorn

Thursday:
Breakfast: english muffin, juice, coke and a granola bar
Lunch: chili, 2 point Doritos, jello with peaches
Snack: 2 point cookies
Dinner: 2 slices of Little Cesears pizza, pudding

Today I did something that I haven't done in a very long time...I tucked in my shirt! I liked the way I looked too. I have also been able to wear 2 pair of jeans that I have wanted to wear so bad. They are some of my favorite colored jeans!
The black ones are very slimming too!

Looking forward to weighing tomorrow!
Still have 20 or so flex points left and I plan to use those Friday night at a happy hour at a co-worker's house then Saturday my cousin is having a sleep over for her 30th birthday
It is a party filled weekend!

Day 208

I haven't been feeling good the past couple of days
Caught a cold from the boys
I felt horrible this morning but I'm feeling much better this evening
Maybe I'm starting to shake it

I don't know if it is being sick or if I'm PMSing but I want to eat so bad!
I need more calories
I have held out all day but have done some munching tonight
So I will be dipping into those flex points a little more today
I finally stopped snacking on the high calorie stuff and put grapes on the counter
Now I have been snacking on those...a much better choice

Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese, granola bar, coke and juice
Lunch: rice and left over chicken from Sunday, applesauce and 2 oranges (clementine's)
Snack: 2 point cookies
Dinner: Tried to help with my big appetite and got a Lean Cuisine deep dish pizza and it was 7 points, pudding

So I have had 36 points for the day
10 over
But I needed it
I was trying to save it for this weekend though

Day 206 & 207

Sunday:
Sorry, fell asleep last night before I blogged

So proud that I didn't get on the scales today
I really have been chained to them lately
Weighing every morning
So I'm trying to get away from that

Breakfast: coke, juice, bagel with cream cheese and a granola bar
Lunch: last of the soup and a oranges
Snack: 2 point cookies
Dinner: Whole wheat pasta with chicken and white sauce
Snack: pudding
Over by 1 point
Damn I love the Flex plan!

Monday:
I have officially lost 45 pounds!
I have been fighting this since December
So glad I'm over the hump!

Breakfast: english muffin, granola bar, juice and a coke
Lunch: I have to say that I was really worried about this meal. There was a luncheon at work today. One of the gals putting it on was a fellow WW gal.
So she put point totals by each of the WW friendly foods! How wonderful is that? So I had soup with a little cheese, slice of french bread, and 2 cookies
Snack: 2 point cookies
Dinner: left over Chickfila sandwich, 2 point Doritos and 2 oranges
Snack: pudding
3 points over

My goal is not not get on the scale until Wednesday
Slowly weaning myself off of that damn thing

Day 205

i have been in a good mood until half and hour ago...
Picture me trying to clean Goldie's butt with the hose...its frozen and at the same time Chloe screams because she has spilled 1 quart of apple juice on the kitchen floor
Oh what fun!

Ok, now for my day:
Breakfast: oatmeal made with FF milk (the regular kind...no more of the old fashion rolled oats for me for awhile)
cranberry juice
Lunch: tortilla soup and a coke
Snack: apple
Dinner: Chickfilla grilled chicken, small waffle fries and a large coke
Over by 1 point
No big deal

Day 203 & 204

Thursday
Well this was my last day on the core
Thank God!
I just couldn't take it anymore! Why the hell should I do it when I haven't lost weight in 2 weeks!
Why not just go back to the flex plan?
So tomorrow back to the old plan!
I did have a little binge when I got home. Herb had Pizza Hut so I had to have some! I have been craving pizza so bad!
So I ate 2 pieces...not bad then I ate 4 cinnamon sticks and the icing to go with it. Damn it was good!
I was really feeling bad about it then I got to thinking that I had 20 flex points left for the week and that probably equaled 20 points.
So just don't use any more flex points and I'm good

Friday
Holy Moly! What a great day in the flex plan world!
I was so damn happy to have a bagel for breakfast!
I added up points when I got home and I still had a lot of points left
So I got to have a little extra snacks tonight
Something I haven't had in a while...
God Bless the Flex Plan!

Day 202

I'm in a much better mood today
I even wore some pants today that I haven't wore in a very very very long time

Breakfast: breakfast sandwich and a coke (FP-2)
Lunch: chicken quesadilla and a orange (FP-1)
Snacks: grapes, apple and pudding
Dinner: I was very excited about dinner tonight and then a little let down. I found a recipe for tortilla soup that was core friendly. Made it last night and let it cook in the crockpot all day. It was ok. Nothing great...a very tomato based soup unlike my idea of a tortilla soup
But I did have 2 bowls with sour cream

Please God let me have a weight loss on the scales in the morning!

Day 201

I was in the biggest funk this morning!
I hated my life!
I woke up with a migraine for it seems the 100th day in a row, no money, you know it goes on and on
On top of all that, I am getting frustrated that I haven't lost any weight in a week or so
But I just needed a swift kick in the butt

I did notice today that my pants are falling off
That's always a good thing

Breakfast: breakfast sandwich and a coke (FP-4)
Lunch: baked potato and a orange
Snacks: pretzels and grapes (FP-1)
Dinner: chicken quesadilla and grapes (FP-1)

Even with my funk and wanting to eat because I was feeling down
I held out and stayed with Core

Day 200

Wow! This is a big day! 200 days!

Back on track after this weekend

Breakfast: oatmeal and a coke (FP-2)
Lunch: last of the lasagna, orange
Snacks: pudding and banana
Dinner: baked potato with spray butter, FF cheese and FF sour cream
apple

I was proud of myself today
I had a meeting back at my house with Sooner Start at 4 and we walk at 3
But I decided to stay and walk then just rush home
I'm making exercise a priority
That's a good thing!

Day 198 & 199

Sorry didn't get around to blogging last night
Went to Tulsa for a birthday party and was very tired when we got home
Not counting the 3 cranky children that were screaming at each other

Saturday
Breakfast-leftover lasagna and a coke
Lunch-medium coke and grilled chicken sandwich from McD's
At the party-piece of cake, a little chips and queso
Dinner- We went out to dinner and I didn't do so hot. Plus I got a couple snacks to munch on and keep me awake on the drive home.

Sunday
Breakfast: oatmeal and a coke (FP-2)
Lunch: Today was D's birthday and we took him bowling. So, I never got around to eating lunch. Only had a rice krispy treat with icing (FP-3)
I did eat the final bit of the chicken stroganoff with no noodles about 3 when we got home.
Dinner: leftover lasagna, banana and an orange
Think I may have a cup of hot chocolate later

Now I have to figure out what is for dinner tomorrow night
Getting a little tired of the same food...

Day 197

Today I was in a little bit of a funk
I don't know if I was tired or what

Breakfast: oatmeal and a coke (FP-2)
Lunch: still eating on the chicken stroganoff, orange (FP-1)
Snack: coke, apple (FP-1)
Dinner......well, I really wanted to eat. So I gave in. I figured I have been so good since the 26th that I deserve a little something extra. We went and ate Mexican food. I had chips, cheese dip, tortillas, 2 cokes, beef fajitas and a sopaipilla. You know all that food and the best thing was the coke and sopaipilla! So maybe next timeIi feel a need to do this, I should get a coke and a snickers! It would be less points and calories!

Day 196

Hello my little blog darlings!
You think you are a loser?
Well, wait until you hear this!
I just took down my Christmas decorations tonight!
Oh well, at least it is done!

Today I have felt thinner but the scale seem to have lost its mind
It goes up a pound and down a pound
So that is why I haven't mentioned it
Yes, I am weighing every damn day but I'm trying not to put too much stock into it
I had a lot of people notice my weight loss today too
So damn it, I know it is working

Breakfast: oatmeal and a coke (FP- 2)
Lunch: left over chicken stroganoff, pudding and a banana
Snack: a medium sonic coke (FP-3)
Dinner: Something new! I made lasagna! whole wheat lasagna noodles, spaghetti sauce, hamburger meat, FF mozzarella and LF ricotta (I couldn't find FF ricotta so I will need to add a point for this)
apple (FP-1)

Day 195

Today is going to be short and sweet
I'm tired as hell
I woke up in the middle of the night with a migraine
Not a good way to start a day

Breakfast: oatmeal again (it is very filling...I think even more filling than the sandwich), coke (FP-2)
Lunch: soup and added hamburger meat, orange
Snacks: 2 puddings, coke, apple (FP-2)
Dinner: left over chicken stroganoff (FP-1)

Day 194

Breakfast was much better!
plain oatmeal made with FF milk, brown sugar Spilenda and FF butter spray
coke (FP-2)
Lunch: left over hamburger patty, couscous, applesauce and an orange
Dinner: Was Wonderful!
I made chicken stroganoff in the crock pot...I would eat this even if I wasn't watching what I was eating!
FF sour cream
98% FF mushroom soup (FP-1)
1 envelope of onion soup mix
chicken
I served it over the yolk free noodles
Man it was good!
After the kids went to bed, I fixed myself some more pudding, but only ate half of the box instead of the whole damn thing
I could still eat it all though
Moderation....

Day 193

Damn, another day of a horrible headache
I freakin' hate this!

2 food finds that got me excited...
I have been looking for FF/SF pudding with no luck
Today I found it and it is the bomb!
Orgasmic baby! I haven't had something that sugary since Christmas
My tummy was so happy!
I also broke down and bought Spilenda. I have always been against fake sugars but then today I saw Spilenda Brown Sugar!
I plan to eat it in my oatmeal tomorrow
I am getting tired of the breakfast sandwiches so I'm giving oatmeal another try
Also going to use FF milk and butter spray
I will give you a report tomorrow

Food Journal
Breakfast: kashi blueberry waffles and a coke (I didn't get my breakfast ready the night before so I had to use some extra flex points) (FP-5)
Lunch: Sucked! 3 slices of ham, left over couscous, applesauce and a orange
Snacks: apple, orange and FF/SF chocolate pudding
Dinner: hamburger patty and left over pasta with red sauce

I also trying a new chicken recipe in the crock pot tomorrow
Actually looking forward to trying some new foods tomorrow

Day 192

It would be so nice if I would weigh tomorrow and I would be at 45!

I don't know what is up with me but I have been a raving bitch these past 2 mornings
Not fun

Food Journal:
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich, coke (FP-3)
Lunch: left over fish and an apple
Snacks: popcorn, coke, orange, grapes (FP-3)
Dinner: salmon and couscous (I learned that the couscous taste a lot better when you make it with chicken stock instead of water)

I got to looking at my WW book today and I can have FF sour cream with out counting flex points on Core!
So I didn't go over last week

Day 191

43.8 gone!
Almost 10 pounds in a week and a half!
Yesterday I was hating Core
Today I am lovin' Core!

Ok, so I tried to make some smoothies this morning and it turned into the Great Smoothie Fiasco of 2008! I ended up burning up the blender and throwing it in the trash! So...I need to get a new blender

Food Journal
Breakfast: I had planned a smoothie but...ended up with an orange
Lunch: Coke, left over chicken from last night with FF cheddar rolled up in a low fat/high fiber tortilla (FP-.5)
Snacks: grapes and apple
Dinner: I tried a new recipe Parmesan Crusted Talapia
It has some herbs, FF mayo (I hate mayo so I subbed FF sour cream) and Parmesan cheese. It called for breadcrumbs but I left those out since I am doing Core (FP-2)
Also made some potatoes by slicing them up with a 3T of low fat butter and Parmesan (FP-2)
Both were so good I had a serving and a half
But you know I have been kicking butt so damn it! I deserve it!
I'm actually out of flex points for the week but I am not stressing over it

Speaking of deserving it...I also treated myself to a hunk of that fancy chocolate from Christmas...only 5 points
That is a hell of a lot better than getting a pizza or a buffet

15 more pounds until I can go back to regular WW

Day 190

Today was so hard to stay on Core
I wanted something else so bad!
I had a coke mid afternoon for 2 points
Not bad...it could have been a hell of a lot worse!

I have started something new...
EXERCISE!
A friend and I started walking after school in the gym
Our goal is to do it for half an hour 4 days a week
So I figure my 2 point coke will be covered
Maybe that will be my incentive to exercise
You know I will do anything for a coke!

Food journal
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich and a coke (FP-3)
Lunch:the last of the rice and pork chops, applesauce
Dinner: I made the whole wheat pasta with chicken that I always make
But instead of using white sauce, I used red
Yes, it was good but not as good
Damn Core!
Other than my coke which is x'ed out with my activity points
I only used 3 flex points again
Excellent!

Day 189

I am .2 away from my lowest weight the middle of December!
Thank you Lord!
Not bad a little over 7 pounds in a week!
This Core plan is kicking my ass but it is taking the weight off!

Food Journal for today:
It is pretty much the same from the last couple of days
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich, grapes and a coke (FP-3)
Lunch: applesauce, left over pork chops and brown rice
Snacks: apple, applesauce
Dinner: 2 bowls of chili (I shouldn't have had 2 bowls but I was so fuckin' hungry...if there was a horse in my backyard he would have been a goner!
With the Core plan you are suppose to eat until you are satisfied but not stuffed..so)

Check my points used today! 3 today! But I did want another Coke so damn bad. I usually have one in the middle of the afternoon. I didn't. I really wanted one this evening...but I didn't.
But...Kristy and I are going to start walking after school, so I will have a couple of activity points tomorrow. Maybe I can have that 2nd coke

Is it bad that I am obsessing over a freakin' coke?

Day 188

I went to the dentist this morning
So my mouth has been a little on the sore side

Food journal
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich, coke and grapes (FP-3)
Lunch: WW Strawberry banana smoothie made with a banana and FF milk (I went by WW today and bought a box of 7 smoothies for 7.50...and it sucked! I will try it a couple of more times but I was not impressed)
Snack: medium coke from Sonic (not a lrg...that's a good thing), grapes and 2 oranges (FP-3)
Dinner: I made chili for dinner and it was very good and added FF sour cream (FP-1)

I'm nervous about going back to school tomorrow and staying on Core
But it is all about planning ahead with me
And tomorrow's meals are planned
Just need to remind myself
One day at a time

Day 187

This is going to be short
I have a massive headache!

Food Journal:
Breakfast: breakfast sandwich, banana and a coke (FP-3)
Lunch: left over hamburger meat with FF cheese on 2 high fiber tortillas (FP-1)
Snacks: banana and grapes
Dinner: I made pork chops on top of brown rice with mushroom soup-the healthy request Cambell's soup was 2 points for the whole can and the whole can in the casserole equaled out to 6 servings (FP-1) I have to say that this was pretty blah but I was hungry so some salt and I ate it

I feel like I have lost some
My jeans that I had on today were a little on the loose side today and they weren't earlier in the month
