Sunday

Yes, had to change that hideous blog template
Much better! And my first picture too!
Hope you can read it...that comes from http://postsecret.blogspot.com/
New ones are put up every Sunday
And I read them first thing each Sunday morning
I love them
There are some that are very naughty too!

I have had a very nice day
I worked out in the flower beds for 2 1/2 hours today!
Cleaning them out and getting them ready for wonderful Spring
You can't tell me that I didn't earn some activity points on that!
I'm going to reward myself for all that work with mulch
I haven't had any in years
Plus, it make the beds look some much nicer

I went grocery shopping this morning
Why is it when you come home from grocery shopping it is like freakin Christmas for the kids?
They want everything...poor Chloe was making out her menu for the next week after that!

I made my version of a very yummy chicken salad
Just canned chicken, FF sour cream, sliced almonds and a little seasoning salt
It is wonderful! And only 3 points! Lot's of protein too!
I ate it in a pita
Hell I will eat it on anything or plain it is so damn good!
For dinner I just had a WW frozen pizza
Did also buy lots of fresh fruit so I have been snacking on grapes and strawberries
I'm so glad this is a new week so I can keep better track of my flex points
It was hard last week since I started on a Tuesday and ate like a pig those first 2 days of the week
I am over by 1 so that will be the beginning of my flex points for the week

I'm looking forward to wearing new clothes!
One of my wonderful buddies has lost weight and gave my some of her 16/18 clothes
I was really needing it too
Now I don't need to spend money on clothes until these get too big for me
Which ought to be a very long while...

Saturday

Man, yesterday was a recuperation day
I did a lot of sleeping and laying around
Stomach is better but now I have a freakin crick in my neck
Oh it never ends....

I really didn't eat a whole lot yesterday
Still working on that lasagna...had that for lunch
I think I figured the points wrong
I was thinking it would be 6 servings and it is more like 9
So maybe that's why my points have been a little high

Made hamburger patties and couscous for dinner

I forgot to say that I did get on the scales Friday
And I really hadn't gained any weight
I am at 215.8
Yes, I'm saying my weight now
Maybe that will help motivate me

Goal setting...
I would like to be below 200 by the end of May
That's only 15 pounds
That should be doable

Thursday & Friday

I'm not digging the new blog template and colors

Thursday
It was freakin amazing that I stayed on program considering it was another day of hell
But I did-I was over by 6 points
The lasagna I made was great! Points were a little too high on it
But it was worth it!
I did end my day with a glass of wine

Friday
I haven't felt good all day
Headache and stomach cramps
I know both are related to stress
I did stop and get Prilosec on the way home...it kicks it almost instantly
So I will just stay on it again for a while
Then we also went to Cici's for dinner-DAMN IT
My body didn't feel good and I didn't want to mess with dinner
I hate that I did it considering I have held out this week

Tomorrow is another day...

Day ???

It is a fuckin' miracle that I'm bloggin' tonight! In the past, I would have already had my ass in the bed!
It has been a hell of a day!
I'm at my computer with my 2nd glass of wine

I'm very happy to say that I made it through the stressful day and stayed on program
I'm over by 8 points and that's ok
For dinner I met Herb and the kids at Burger King
I chose the grilled chicken and a small coke (did refill once but counted it)

I'm not counting the 2 glasses of wine...that's battle pay baby

I did make a pan of low fat lasagna for dinner tomorrow night
Yum! Can't wait!

Day ???

I do plan to count up what day it is
But that is going to take some thinking...
Don't have it in me tonight

I did stay on program today
I do have a headache but I'm also tired as hell
Ready to go to bed but I wasn't to blog tonight...got to get back into it

So here goes...
I did take my food diary with me today and write down food and points
I am ending the day at 26-right where I should be
I wanted to weigh but a little afraid-so I will just stay with my plan and wait until Friday
Something I didn't say yesterday, I also want to get back to drinking lots of water
Chicken Parmesan (no breading) with whole wheat pasta for dinner

Here I Go!

I have no idea what day this is on my journey

But I am starting back
Yes, I was sick in Feb. and part of March
Spring Break is over
So there is no more excuses

This is the time of year that I tend to over eat due to stress
And this is a stressful time of the year for a teacher

Tomorrow is the big day that I will start again
These are the things that I plan to work on:
Only weigh once a week...maybe Fridays
Exercise whether it be walking after school or around the block with the kids...just move-But I also am not going to beat myself up if I don't get to it. This is a stressful time of the year as I have said and I don't want to add anymore stress...so let it go if it doesn't happen
I'm going to carry my food diary around and write things down as I eat...instead of at the end of the day. Maybe this will make me more accountable for what I eat.
If things are still not going well, I will join WW and go to meetings
I will blog every day to every other day...I seem to stay on track when I'm blogging on a regular basis

Please give me your encouragement...I'm going to need it
