Day 2 - Semi OP

Today was a little messed up b/c I forgot my tv dinner at home, but I made up for it at my mom's so maybe it all happened for a reason

Breakfast
oatmeal bar - 4

Lunch
salad, mushrooms, dressing - 1 (5)
banana - 2 (7)

Snacks at moms
3 cookies - 7 (14)
chex mix - 2 (16)

Dinner
fish with mushrooms and rotel - 4 (21)
grapes - 1 (22)

I guess I didn't do as bad as I thought

I drank 4 bottles of water, 1 diet dr. Pepper, and a cherry coke zero.

I did get on the scale this morning and it was 230.5 and then at lunch I got on the school scale and it was 232. No where near the scare I had Saturday night when it read 238. I love the fact that I'm staying under 235. The sad part is that my FIL lost 30 lbs and now probably weighs less than me. I need to get a handle on this problem.

Until tomorrow,

Back in the saddle again...

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted anything here. That in turn means I've screwed up big time the past couple of days/weeks. I didn't even get on the scale this a.m. at school as usual. I did get on the scale at home this a.m. and it was 231.5, which has been pretty close to school. I'm going to get on the scale at school again Friday. Then one last weigh in before school ends next Friday. I'm going to rejoin WW during the summer so that I have an accurate running total of my weight. So today started day one of get my act back on track. I'd really like to break 225 before the end of school, but that's definitely setting the bar REALLY high. It is possible, but not probable. Today I've tried to focus on being strong and having that will power I need to make it through. So let's make a list of all that I ate...



Breakfast

oatmeal bar - 4 pts



Lunch

tv dinner - 4 pts

salad w/lettuce, bacon bits, ranch dressing, cucumbers - 2 pts

100 cal pack - 2 pts. (12)



Snack

noodles with butter at mom's - 2 (14)

pringles -1 (15)

Emma's puffs - 1 (16)



Dinner

spaghetti w/noodles - 8 (24)

bread - 1 (25)



Evening snack

grapes - 1 (26)

peppermints - 1 (27)



The spaghetti is an estimation. I figure better to be OVER than under. Emma and I did go walk today around the block, not much, but we did it. Tomorrow maybe I can do WATP. I need strength to make it through these next two weeks.



Oh and I drank 4 bottles of water and 1 cherry coke zero.



Until tomorrow....

Ummm... Can't say much about this weekend

Well the title states it all, I can't say much about the weekend. I haven't blogged in a while and it's b/c I have gone to bed early and have done really bad. I'll go back as far as Friday. Friday was Mini Olympics at school. I got on the scale and was still 229, oh how good that felt. Although it was a gain, i was still in the 220s. I ate an oatmeal bar for breakfast, and then MO started. I ate nachos with chili and cheese for lunch, then later on in the day I drank a coke and ate a piece of pizza. I also ate chocolate chip cookies. That night we went to Nobiles and I drank 2 beers, ate a caesar salad, a crabcake and some fettucine with shrimp and crab sauce. I really don't know what other junk I ate that day since it was Friday. All I know is that I was sunburnt and tired that night.

Saturday morning I didn't eat breakfast and I went to my mom's house so we could go to Walmart. We went eat at Raising Cane's for lunch and I ate a chicken sandwich, some coleslaw, and some fries. I don't remember if I picked on anything at my mom's. That night we bbqed and invited my parents over. I ate a hamburger w/cheese, some pork and beans, and some augratin potatoes.

Sunday was Mother's Day. I think I ate a lot Sunday b/c I was sort of upset. Greg didn't get me a card or a gift until later that day and although I knew he would come through, I ate all day. For breakfast Bryan cooked us french toast. I ate three pieces with syrup and powdered sugar.. I drank chocolate milk and some Sunny D...YUMMYYYYY! Then I took Sherrie to Baskin Robbins and I ate a two scoop caramel praline sundae.... YUMMMMMYYYY!!!! My daddy boiled shrimp at lunch and I ate some of those along with some boiled potatoes... YUMMMYYY!!! Then I ate a piece of Baskin Robbins ice cream cake. So then I came home, took a nap with Emma. We went to MIL's and I ate a piece of cake with lemon filling on top. I didn't eat dinner, and sure didn't need to!

Today was a little better. Breakfast I ate an oatmeal bar and drank two bottles of water all before the 8:15 bell. I did drink some sunny delight at my moms too. I found the cheddar chex mix in the lounge and ate a good bit of that. Not sure of the amount of points, but it was good. I ate a 6 pt. pizza tv dinner and a 100 cal pack for lunch. At that point I was up to 4 bottles of water. I didn't eat anything more until I got to my mom's where I went crazy. I ate a huge plate of boiled shrimp and 2 pieces of ice cream cake. Tonight I ate a hamburger from Saturday and tried to make a cucumber salad with ranch dressing and it tasted YUCK. I drank a mojito also after I went walk with Emma. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully I'll remain on track. I did get on the scale at about 10 a.m. this morning and was up to 233 and I wanted to cry. It was after I had eaten and drank. I may try again tomorrow but not eat/drink and see. It upsets me when my hard work is screwed up by a few days of nonstop eating.

Wednesday we're planning a girls family night and Friday is teacher's night, so hmmm... It's so rough these past few weeks.....

Off the wagon BIGTIME!!

Okay so I admit I have fallen off the wagon into a huge mudpuddle and am unable to get back up. BIG BIG BIG problems this week. Yesterday I knew I was going to take 1/2 day and have lunch at Cheesecake Bistro with Stacie, so I knew it'd be one of those days. It is also Teacher Appreciation Week, which pretty much equals bad food. I know I'm up on the scale and just don't want to deal with it right now. Not much water, I drank coke and gatorade today. I don't know what the problem is.

So yesterday I ate a banana for breakfast, wonderful. Got to school and ate a donut.

Left for my lunch date, ate a mini butterfinger on the drive there

Lunch - cheesecake bistro, ate crabcakes and shared a piece of hawaiian cheesecake with stace.

Dinner - two tacos



I also snacked on a piece of Greg's pot of gold and probably something else, but I just don't remember. That's why I need to blog at night the same day. Not much water drank yesterday either. I am so busy right now with the kids it's unreal.

Today I ate an oatmeal bar for breakfast, Fabulous.

Lunch, I brought a tv dinner and a salad, which would be 8 points total, BUT Mr. A provided lunch for us and I ate my ass off. Finger sandwiches, veggie tray WITH ranch dressing, BROWNINES, doritos. Yes I damn well deserve it!

So then I knew my mom was FRYING pork chops so I went buy more and ate there. I ate two fried pork chops, a little red beans and rice, and 2 pieces of cheese bread, one piece of bread with butter, AND to top it off two dream sicles, which were AWESOME! YEP I fell off the wagon... But it's time to kick my butt and get up on it.

I also got paid two compliments the past two days. Yesterday at lunch Stace told me I looked skinny. Now I know she is my BFF but she didn't have to say anything. It could've been the skirt, but I'm going to take it as a compliment. And this a.m. while I was walking down the hall Devona (who is the most brutally honest child I know) asked me if I lost weight. So I'm feeling it. YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!!

Tomorrow is a new day and I will try and be OP.

Laziness

I didn't post last night so that I could go to bed with Greg and watch Brothers and Sisters. Yesterday wasn't all that bad of eating considering how I started out. For breakfast there was the can of Dr. Pepper and bag of raisinets. Those raisinets are killing me. I also ate a bag of those Saturday, thanks to Greg's kindness. Then for lunch I ate shower food from Becky's shower. Only one plate of finger foods and no cake, overall not bad. Dinner was a turkey sandwich and 1/2 can of Bush's baked beans.

I got on the scale this afternoon (midday) and was at 229. It was so awesome to get on and not be in the 230's. My goal is to stay in the 220's and not see 230 again, but you know how that goes. Tomorrow I am going to lunch with my BFF Stacie at Cheesecake Bistro. I cannot pass up their crabcakes nor their cheesecake, which I told her we would split. Guess I'll have to eat light tomorrow night.

Today hasn't been all that bad.
Breakfast
Oatmeal bar - 4 pts

Lunch
Salad, bacon bits, and dressing - 2 pts
Meatloaf dinner - 4 pts

Not too bad, not too bad... I want some chocolate!

bad eating equals stomach issues

Well I didn't blog yesterday b/c I was having serious stomach issues due to my horrible eating last night. But I did weigh in at school Friday morning and was 227.5 pounds. I haven't seen that number is ages. I ate donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast, a lean cuisine for breakfast, a chicken leg and fries at my mom's and golden corral for dinner. Geez did that do me in. I didn't think i'd even make it home b/c it was that bad. I got on the scale this a.m. and it was 228, which was to be expected. Today was better. I ate scrambled eggs with turkey and cheese and two pieces of toast for breakfast. Lunch was a turkey sandwich and a salad with bacon bits and ranch dressing. Dinner we went to Fatty's where I ate a salad, 1 1/2 cheese sticks, 3/4 of a club sandwich and a few fries. Overall not too bad. I drank two bottles of water, which normally doesn't occur on the weekend. Tomorrow is Rebecca's shower. I hope everything turns out okay there, no drama... My goal for next week is to see 226. That would surely make me really happy. 225 is my first real goal that I wanted to see. My next then would be 214, which would be 30 pounds since my 29th birthday.
