Weigh In Day!! :)

8 Jan

My last weigh in day of 2010 was Dec 18th – my first weigh in day of 2011 was today, Jan 8th. Today was a gooooood day! 😀

I actually lost weight over Christmas holidays…go figure! lol. 😛

Now I know the weight loss isn’t all real, I have been stupid sick with no appetite so I know I lost weight because of being sick, but still…having a good weigh in day is just…a good day! There is a high probability I will gain some of the weight back, or at least maintain, once I get better and am eating all my daily points but hey, let’s not ruin the moment with thoughts of what is to come, ok? 😛

I lost a whopping 4.8 lbs!! 😀 😀 😀 Talk about a happy dance moment on the scale this morning! teehee That puts me at a total weight loss of 26.4lbs!

While I was visiting the family over the holidays I went shopping for jeans (I was also looking for tops but failed miserably, lol) anyways, I got to buy jeans that were way way way smaller then anything I had worn in a looooong time! The new jeans are 3 sizes smaller then the largest pair of jeans that were in my closet at the beginning of this journey, 3 sizes! Holy Crap! So, these new snazzy jeans I bought I wore today when I went for lunch and shopping with a friend and I noticed I kept having to adjust them a bit, you know, pull them up a tad here and there. Mostly over what used to be my lower gut but now is like a lower mini-gut (cause it’s getting smaller, get it?) I did the pull-out-waistband-check that we all know and love/hate and the jeans are already becoming loose on me! OMG! A-frickin-mazing!

Now, again, I know that the rapid loosening of the jeans is because of the rapid almost 5 pounds weight loss due to being sick, but let’s not ruin this moment either, k?

Today was full of lots of good moments. happy sigh.

Another happy moment was when I was trying on some tops and I noticed that my waist actually indents in at the side, so, I like, have a waist…huh. I kept staring at myself in the mirror at the store because I was so fascinated by this. lol. I couldn’t afford the top that I was wearing when I noticed this (which is too bad really) but I am gonna keep an eye out in the store and see when it goes on sale…maybe I will buy it then…hell, maybe it’ll look even better on me then?!

So, overall, Christmas break didn’t kill me or my weight loss, in fact, it seemed to help it. shrug. Go fig. I now have 14.8 lbs to go before I reach the outter number of the weight range that is my goal to be at by the end of this journey – I am over halfway there…wow. I think that deserves another happy dance…

who happy dances better then Snoopy?

My Lungs Make Noises – weird…

5 Jan

Ok, when I was still at my parents I wasn’t eating all my points per day once my bronchitis started up cause I had absolutely no appetite. I liked this cause I thought “Hey, this means I will lose the weight I put on at the beginning of the vacation while eating all that amazing food!” Well, today was day 2 of being back in the real world and I am still having trouble eating, sigh. I don’t want to undereat so much my body holds on to everything and refuses to lose weight cause it’s freaking out I am gonna starve it – I just don’t have an appetite. sigh.

Today I stayed home from work, I know! Only my second day back and I called in sick, *rolls eyes* but hey, I was dealing with side effects from the drugs the doc put me on and I was quite busy trying to cough up both my lungs – I wasn’t able to deal with work as well. 😛

Did you know your lungs can make noises? I so didn’t know this…lungs can gurgle and make wet noises and they wheeze and whistle…oddness. It’s kinda entertaining in a “I wonder if I am going to drown in my own body” kind of way…

So yeah, today was spent trying to sleep, reading, watching tv and not being hungry. lol. Nice huh? I managed to eat 14.5 points (I am s’posed to eat 21) and that was by sheer force! I keep trying to think of something high in points but small in portion I could eat to use up my remaining points but all the foods like that make my stomach curdle at just the thought. I don’t want anything sweet, or salty, or well…anything.

Guess today is gonna be another low points day…maybe tomorrow will be better?

Back to the Real World

4 Jan

Aaaahhhhh, my first day back at work since going on vacation mid-day December 22 2010 – can I go back to vacation please? lol. 😀

I didn’t go in to vacation thinking “I am going to eat whatever I want screw the points!” but that is how it started, shrug. I couldn’t even bring myself to regret the food I was eating – it was that gooooood! 😛 I went out for lunch on my birthday AND had a big bday dinner with the family – oh yum! I also hit up a Red Lobster, Joey’s and Cheesecake Cafe – not to mention Christmas dinner!

Well, there I was on an unplanned eating binge when I got sick, I thought it was just a cold with a nasty cough so for a while I kept up with my plans but by last thursday the cough was so bad and I had a bunch of other symptoms that were uber nasty and I spent two days in bed. ugh. What a suck fest! I mean, it’s bad enough being sick and I am grateful I didn’t miss work because of being sick but to miss out on vacation stuff because of sickness?! Not Cool! Naughty immune system! *tsk tsk*

Can I say though, if a person has to be sick they should definitely be sick while visiting the parents cause man, my mom treated me sooooo good! 😀 She made me tea and hot lemonade, brought me food, checked up on me to see how I was doing, got me a hot water bottle…all kinds of things! If I’d been here I would have eaten nothing and drank nothing and been oh so miserable, my mom is such a rock star. 😀

Eventually I got it together enough to go out and have some fun again, yah!, but since Thursday I have had almost no appetite…which ok sure, not good cause it’s only happening cause I am sick but yah! cause the weight I am sure I gained from all the food I ate at the beginning of the trip started to slip away, phew! lol.

Now, I don’t actually know what I weigh right now, if I gained or lost, cause I didn’t weigh myself at my parents (the scale there doesn’t match my scale so it freaks me out when I use it heh) but I am hoping I lost…or at least stayed the same! The whole getting sick thing may end up having a happy side effect. 😛 Won’t know for sure till saturday tho…why is saturday so far away? sigh.

Oh, and little sidenote, the cold is actually Bronchitis, nice huh? I went to a doctor this morning before I went to work and that is what he said, oops! Guess I should’ve listened to my mom when she said “go to the doctor” lol.

Where’s The Wagon??

28 Dec

You know that saying about “falling off the wagon”? Well, I have not only fallen off but that damn horse I am supposed to get right back on has hitched the wagon to itself and gallopped away, bastard. Oh, and it appears it loaded my willpower on to the wagon before bulleting out of here cause I haven’t seen that guy around here for days and days and days. I shake the fist at the lot of you! *shaking fist* grr.

Don’t you just love the holiday season? A time of stores being filled to bursting with all kinds of high calorie treats, a whopping big meal on the 25th, or the 24th…or possibly not at all depending on your religion, but for me, Whopping huuuuge meal on the 25th and of course the days surrounding that day are not exactly filled with meals or snacks that are healthy. Yummy? You bet! Healthy? Not a shot in hell! lol

Let’s do a brief recap to see just how badly I fell off that wagon called weight loss…the 23rd was my bday (Yah!) so there was a big dinner, I got to pick it so it was spaghetti and turkey meatballs, garlic bread and pecan pie (I didn’t feel like the traditional chocolate cake, shrug)…I don’t really remember what I ate during the day that day and that’s just another sign of how far off the deep end I have gone cause I have stopped writing down what I have been eating…tsk tsk to me. So, one slice of that pie was 8 points…*rolls eyes* that was the beginning of the end I think…

Dec 24th is generally finger food nibbly type stuff in our house and this year was as expected. There was egg salad mix on open faced dinner buns, sausage rolls, mincemeat tarts (which I didn’t eat, ick!), various cookies, chocolates etc. I had some of the egg mix on buns, some sausage rolls, some random nibblies I can’t remember, oh my, this not remembering is more scary then knowing…who knows what I did and have somehow blocked myself from remembering?!?!

Dec 25th traditionally starts off with a cinnamon bun, YUM! I had a measured out serving of Life cereal and milk (back to my old school ways, lol.) and an orange…however, I caved and had a cinnamon bun too…I think it would have been better to just eat the cinnamon bun but at least I got some nutrients and food groups from the cereal milk and orange, right? I nibbled on raw veggies during the day so that’s not so bad but dinner…oh man, dinner, Amazing! I love my mom’s christmas dinner, her and my brother do all the work and it turns out frickin perfect every time! So there was turkey (duh!), stuffing, mashed yams, roast potatoes, carrot and parsnip, vienna sausage, fried mushrooms and of course lots of gravy and cranberry sauce…tastebud heaven! 😀 I didn’t even try to pretend I was taking a proper portion of any of that, I just took and ate! My sister kept getting on my case about how many points I am eating but I am trying to ignore her, that’s her sense of humour and altho it’s not funny to anyone but her it’s just the way she is, shrug. One day out of the year I can try to over look it, right? Right…well, maybe…lol. Dessert was Sherry Trifle, omg, so so so so goooooood! My mom makes that (I made the custard this year, so I can officially say I helped with christmas dinner, lol) and the trifle turned out perfect! I had two servings of that…I know I should be hanging my head in shame but I just can’t, it was so good and it only happens once a year…

Normally I have seconds with christmas dinner but my poor tummy is not used to eating large portions or such a mixture of foods anymore so it rebelled at even the thought of it, lol.

Hmm, you’d think after that things wouldn’t be so bad, that they’d go back to normal…well, nope. 😛

Dec 26th I drove my bro to the airport so I ate brekkie late, I had oatmeal and toast, that part was normal at least lol. Then I was out at a movie that a friend let me pick and she paid to make up for not buying me a bday present, nice huh? Well she also decided she was gonna buy me goodies to eat at the movie and I wasn’t allowed to say no so I ended up with popcorn and a root beer, not even diet cause they don’t carry that, evil! I ate way more of the popcorn then I intended but it was so yummy and I found I just kept mindlessly eating, oops, and well, root beer hello? Already established that is a weakness of mine! lol. That evening I baked banana bread and had a Guiness…now the banana bread is not for me so not eaten by me, yah! but that was 3 points worth of beer 😛

Dec 27th I had my leftover christmas dinner, leftovers are better somehow then the original meal, weird huh? So, the full meal all over again except the turkey was on a piece of toast so I could have a hot turkey sandwich…I look forward to that all year! That kept me full for a really long time. That is also the day I started getting a cough and generally not feeling well. I went for a late dinner with MJ at the Cheesecake Cafe, I ordered the BBQ beef burger, it comes with back bacon on it but I took it off (just wasn’t feelin it, ya know?) and I cut it in half cause I still wasn’t all that hungry. Well, for someone not all that hungry I managed to eat half the burger and a lot of yam fries – the yam fries and dipping sauce there are truly excellent. 🙂 The waitress was way delayed getting us our food so they comped us a dessert and even though neither of us really wanted dessert we figured we can’t pass it up if it’s free, right? So we split the Terry’s Chocolate Orange cheesecake. It was alright, I am glad we didn’t pay for it cause it tasted like plain chocolate, none of the orange flavour that is the point of the Terry’s Chocolate Orange. It was funny, we were all “we’ll take a couple bites then get it boxed up” and while talking we managed to eat all but two bites! lol. We left that remaining two bites cause it made us feel better not actually finishing it, lol.

That brings us to today, I am sicker, I actually took Benelyn last night cause I felt that crappy, eek! I hung out with my nephew today so we saw a movie, played mini golf, bought him some sweeeeet skater runners (he’s ten and I just had to do it!), he wanted some Mexi Fries from Taco Time so I got him those and he insisted I eat at least one so I did, shrug, he’s only ten! He doesn’t understand diets! Then when I got back to my parents place I had some homemade turkey soup. I wasn’t really hungry, and still am not, but I ate it cause I know I should be hungry and all I’d had up to that point was some toast and one mexi fry, shrug, I figured give my body some nutrients, right? I have dinner plans for this evening so who knows how that will go…and plans that involve a restaurant tomorrow…this is gonna kill me!

I am really starting to worry about how much weight I have put on…I don’t want to get back home and find I have gained back anymore then 2lbs, cause that’ll suck and really bring me down, but I dunno, every morning I swear I am gonna eat healthy and get back on track and something goes wrong…I really wish that horse would at least bring me back my will power…

Let The Over-Indulging Begin!

21 Dec

It has officially started for me, ugh, the season of over indulging with our food. My poor stomach is already hurting! lol…I laugh but it really does hurt. *rolls eyes* I got a bunch of goodies in the mail from Australia and from England…ooooh, that chocolate is gonna hurt me but taste oh so good. Yum!

Today I got taken out for lunch to this great Japanese place, heaven in my mouth! I got a lunch box so there was the cold noodle salad with shrimp, chicken teriyaki, sushi rolls (two each of california rolls, tuna rolls, salmon rolls and cucumber rolls), miso soup and mixed tempura. Oh man, so good. In part it was soooo good cause the food was amazing and because it came out of the blue (I didn’t know I was going to be taken out for lunch and surprises are always fun!) and because I never eat like that so it was an uber treat. 😀

Let’s see, yesterday what did I over indulge in? Oh yeah, almond tarts, is there anything better then almond tarts? Doubtful!

I seem to be leaving all my willpower behind, sigh, all that hard won willpower out the window in the face of almond tarts and Japanese lunch boxes. 😛

I had planned to way treat myself tomorrow at the airport and eat…ready for this? Fast Food that isn’t Subway! I know! Crazeeee! However, with the way I feel right now, so not gonna happen. I am lucky and can take a half day at work so I’ll have plenty of time to get to the airport, leaving me no excuse to not get something healthy-ish to eat. I think instead of fast food at the airport I’ll have one timbit or something equally small, lol.

Ooooh! Good news tho! Last saturday when I weighed in I managed to lose the weight I had put on the week before so I am back at my 21.6 pounds lost, phew! I am so glad I got back there but seriously, with how fat I feel right now I might as well not have lost anything. Ick. I hate this feeling and I can’t figure it out. I mean, ok, I ate Japanese for lunch but I’ve eaten worse and not felt like this…and for dinner I had some toast cause let me tell ya, so not hungry after that huge lunch and the lunch totally killed me for points (I am guessing, the tempura alone killed my points really so why bother trying to tally them up for today?) but what’s with this heavy in my tummy feeling? If this is what’s gonna happen everytime I eat something fried (the tempura) or salty (soy sauce) I will so be pissed! 😛

On a totally unrelated note…why can Keanu Reeves look totally awesome in a long black jacket and all black outfit complete with shades (like in the Matrix) but if someone tried to pull off that look in real life they’d just look like a loser? Oh the oddness of life…lol

Early Turkey Dinner

16 Dec

One of the companies we work with treats us oh so well. 😀 They bring in food for us quite a bit – usually pizza, but hey, it’s the thought that counts. lol. So today they brought in lunch for us and it was so nice! The lunch was held in one of the larger meeting rooms, they put fancy table cloths on the table, used real dishes and silverware, there were even the Christmas Crackers – you know, the ones you pull apart and you get a silly toy a joke and a crown hat? teehee. There was turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and veggies (the veggies were parsnips, carrots and squash – all roasted) YUM!! There was also champagne and dessert was a variety of tarts, brownies, cookies etc.

The plan was to eat lots of vegg and not too much of the rest, lol, that was before I got in there and could smell everything! Altho, I don’t think I did too poorly. I had a small amount of everything and put some cranberry sauce on the side and some gravy on the turkey…I mean come on, you can’t skip the cranberry sauce and gravy! Oh, when I say everything I don’t include dessert in that, I didn’t touch the tarts etc. – lemme tell ya, that was hard cause I was still hungry! lol

I can’t decide if I was still hungry cause I was actually hungry or if it was a mental thing. shrug. I always have a huge plate of food when it’s a turkey dinner…after all it only happens once a year, lol, but this time not so much so it may have been a mental thing since those around me had plates piled with food and they went back for just as large portions of seconds…I was feeling deprived, which is silly cause I ate a bit of everything…but not in the quantity I wanted. sigh.

Today I ate:

50 grams Shreddies = 3 points

1/2 cup 1% milk = 1 point

*turkey = 1/2 cup = 2 points

*mashed potatoes (= 1/2 cup = 2 points) = 4 points

*stuffing = 1/2 cup = 4 points

roasted veggies = 0 points

2 timbits = 4 points

1 Fiesta Salad = 5 points

1 Thinsations chocolate covered pretzels = 2 points

So about 25 points eaten…could be worse! lol.

The foods with * are approximate points values, I got the numbers from the Weight Watchers food book. I doubled what they say mashed potatoes are because these ones were uber creamy and  I feel they must have been very bad for me. lol. I took super small portions of everything since I wasn’t able to actually measure anything so I am fairly confident that my guesstimates for points are accurate-ish. 😛

This whole week I have had a constant low grade sensation of hunger, it sucks. I am not sure why it’s happening, I am eating my points and today I went over, but, shrug, hunger pains. It’s almost 10pm where I am and I could so go for some toast, or even a small meal! Ridiculous! Every night I have gone to bed feeling hungry and woken up the same way, 😛 ick. I hope whatever this is it passes quickly, and I sure hope the scale on saturday shows I am down cause at least then this constant hungry feeling will be worth it! lol

A Good Day Deserves A Cookie!

15 Dec

Mmm Mmm Mmm I just ate two super duper yummy cookies, and I don’t even feel guilty about it! ha! 😀 The reason I don’t feel guilty? Cause they are (or were since they are already in my tummy, lol) my reward to myself for not screwing up today. Yah me for not screwing up! 😛

Yesterday was the cake, the day before the chocolates…I was determined to not cheat today, not even budge a little and I didn’t! It was almost like I had to prove it to myself, make sure I could still hold firm to my eating plan without little detours to little nibbles high in calories. You wouldn’t believe how relieved I am that I was able to manage, phew. I wasn’t even tempted by any of the food around me at work, it was easy to ignore it and when it was offered to me to just say no.

No! NO! Nooooo-ooooo! nooooOOOOOOooooo! Don’t you just love that word? lol

heaven in your mouth! Yum!

Just above is a pic of the cookies, 2 cookies are 3 points but lemme tell ya, that is a well spent 3 points! 😀

I must be used to proper portions because it doesn’t even seem weird to take only two cookies out of the container anymore. I make a bit of a production out of it, lol, food is not just blindly eaten in my world (anymore), every bite is savoured, enjoyed, fully tasted…so with my evening treats I put them on a plate, make a cup of tea to go with them and sit all comfy on the couch so I can eat the treat slowly and fully enjoy myself. It takes a little longer then normal to eat two small cookies but that’s ok – it’s about enjoying the food now instead of stuffing my face.

Although, having just said that, when I am really hungry I look at my food and think “that’s all I get?!” I always think it won’t be enough even though it always ends up being enough. Must be a mental thing. shrug.

Today I ate:

50 grams shreddies = 3 points

1/2 cup 1% milk = 1 point

1/2 cup diced peaches = 1 point

1/2 cup Maple Baked Beans = 2 points

1 piece toast = 1 point

2 triangles light laughing cow = 1 point

1 Activia yogurt = 2 points

mixed raw vegg = 0 points

85 grams whole wheat pasta = 5 points

1/4 cup Alfredo and Sun Dried Tomato sauce = 2 points

mixed cooked veggies and grilled veggies = 0 points

2 Hershey’s York cookies = 3 points

Total points eaten is 22. sigh.

I was so happy I hadn’t screwed up today but while writing down my food list I realized I forgot to put in my tracker the 1/2 cup diced peaches I topped my shreddies with. Oops. So I guess I really didn’t earn the cookies I ate…but I already ate them so not like there’s anything I can do about it now. shrug. And really, that’s not a fail, it’s not like I snacked on the chocolates at work, I just forgot to write down some fruit I ate…I think that’s an acceptable mistake, and no reason to feel guilty about the cookies in my tummy. 🙂

I Ate Cake?! Shit…

14 Dec

I started off this week with the intent of being uber strict – No cheating, very careful counting of points, possibly exercising more then once a week – drastic stuff! lol. Well, the week is going doooooooown hill quickly, *rolls eyes*. I am learning to hate this time of year! Ack!

Let’s see, Monday I ate two chocolates which alright not the end of the world, hell, I didn’t even use any flex points to fit those in so not good I nibbled at work but it didn’t negatively affect anything. Coolio. Today (Tuesday – duh!) cake at work! CAKE?!?! FUCK!!!!! I have been sooooooo good at not eating all the various goodies that come in to work – especially the cakes! Well, the cake was cause Friday it is IF’s bday but she’s not here Friday so we celebrated her bday today – she’s like the office fave, she’s so awesome. You know how every office has that one person that knows the answer to every question? She’s that person and we all luv her cause sure, she knows everything but she’s not snotty about it at all! 😀 She’s our rockstar. 😀 There was no way I couldn’t eat a piece of her cake, she would have been insulted…I am not even kidding, she really would have been!

The cake came from China Town, yum, so it went like this: layer of sponge cake, layer of whipped cream with fresh fruit, layer of sponge cake, layer of whipped cream with fresh fruit, layer of sponge cake, top layer of whipped cream then lots more fresh fruit. So, I was able to delude myself that it wasn’t such a bad for me cake cause there was fruit, LMAO! Let’s just ignore the god knows how many eggs are in that cake and all the whipped cream, *rolls eyes* At least I took a small piece, that should count for something right? lol. Ok, I know it doesn’t but whatever! No way am I insulting IF!

I had to guesstimate the points for the cake, cause yeah, no way to figure that out, shrug, so there we go…the so-called-uber-strict week started off with chocolates, now cake…and even if tomorrow goes all good Thursday is a catered lunch we had to rsvp to and we are being kinda forced to participate in cause it’s a company we deal with who is bringing lunch to us to say thanks for our business…why does not insulting people seem to always revolve around eating food? eesh. It’s apparently a Christmas Lunch so everyone seems to be expecting a turkey meal but we don’t actually know for sure what we are getting…hmmm…this could be bad. Erg. I am toying with eating a healthy lunch right before the catered lunch arrives and then just pretending to eat what they bring…I haven’t decided for sure yet what my action plan will be…guess we’ll find out Thursday! lol

Today I ate:

50 grams Shreddies = 3 points

1/2 cup 1% milk = 1 point

1/2 cup Maple Baked Beans = 2 points

1 piece toast = 1 point

2 triangles light laughing cow = 1 point

1 Activia yogurt = 2 points

1 piece IF’s bday cake = 4 points?

3 chicken strips = 4 points

mixed cooked vegg = 0 points

1 tbls honey mustard sauce = 0 points

2 Hershey’s York cookies = 3 points

Total points eaten is 21. That could be off if the cake was worth more points then the 4 I guesstimated but let’s leave me with my delusions shall we?

Now, for the honey mustard sauce, it is 1 point for 2 tbls, when I first ate it (on the weekend) I measured out 2 tbls and didn’t use even half of it, so this evening I measured out 1 tbls and again, I didn’t use near all of it…so I maybe used half. I decided the small amount I use isn’t enough to be even worth 1 point hence my couting it at 0 points. Even if I am wrong and I used a bit over 1/2 tbls that is still only 0.5 point and not gonna kill me….well, least it won’t kill me quickly…:P

Just Cuz They Change You Don’t Have To

13 Dec

Those of you who actually go to weight watchers meetings, or know someone who do, already know that weight watchers has unveiled their new program – yup, another new program. It reminds me of facebook, you get all comfy with how it works, think you know what you’re doing, then boom! they up and change it on you. shrug.

Normally I say embrace change, change is good, it keeps you on your toes and stops you from stagnating in life…however, this one time I say NO to change! lol. 😀

Not that I am against the new program, to be honest I have only a limited amount of information about the new program, and you can’t be against something you don’t have full knowledge about right? Right! Open your minds people! 😉 What I do know is this: your minimum daily points is higher, so are how many flex points you get, fruit is free and wine is now worth double what it used to be. So yeah, not enough knowledge to say yah or nay to the new program.

The reason I am saying no? Because the old program works just fine for me, I don’t go to the meetings so it’ll take a while for me to accumulate all the new books an stuff, and from what I do know of the new program it will really only work if you do go to meetings because of how the points are now calculated. I can’t afford meetings, shrug, so old program for moi! 😀 I don’t mind that I am not learning the new program, I already have so many points memorized for certain foods that I am not in any rush to scrub all that knowledge and learn all new points, lol, I am lazy like that. 😛

Those of you using the new program, kudos for you, feel free to send me any info you are willing to share so I can learn more about it. Those of you sticking with the old program, well, all my info will still be current for you. 😀

Today I ate:

50 grams Shreddies = 3 points

1/2 cup 1% milk = 1 point

1/2 cup diced peaches = 1 point

1/2 cup Maple Baked Beans = 2 points

1 piece toast = 1 point

2 triangles light laughing cow cheese = 1 point

1 Activia yogurt = 2 points

mixed raw veggie = 0 points

2 chocolates = 2 points

85 grams whole wheat pasta = 5 points

1/4 cup Alfredo and Sun Dried Tomato sauce = 2 points

mixed cooked veggie = 0 points

2 pieces bread = 2 points

2 tbls honey = 2 points

Exercise points earned = 3 points

Total points eaten 24 which is my daily 21 points and my 3 exercise points. 😀

I had two chocolates at work today, one was maple flavoured the other was strawberry creme…not that they weren’t good but I don’t think they were really worth 1 point each. shrug. Least I know for next time. 🙂 It’s probably good I ate them though otherwise I’d be trying to figure out two more points worth of food to snack on and dude, I am so not hungry! Yah!

No Longer Am I That Girl, sigh.

12 Dec

So, I am no longer the girl who can say “I have lost 21.6 pounds so far” nope, that’s not me. And why is that not me? Cause I had a week of either eating way too many points or way not enough points and I gained weight…yeah, you read that right…I gained.   😦 With the weight I gained this week I have now only lost 20.8 pounds total. And yeah I know, I shouldn’t say “only” but that’s how it feels, like an only. sigh.

Least I didn’t gain so much I have a total lost under 20 pounds cause that would just be an epic fail and worth way more then 1 sad face emoticon.

This weekend has been an odd one. Friday was partying with friends to celebrate a bday, I drank water all night cause I was driving and didn’t want to deal with figuring out the points involved in drinking, lol. Go figure, I am way sober cause I don’t want to have to figure out the points for a drink, *rolls eyes*, sometimes I am definitely special. lol. Saturday was chillin, gift wrapping, and nannying for two highly evil demonic children. I am not even kidding about the demonic…altho maybe it’s more like psychotic. shrug. Either way, I am never going back to that house again! The oldest of the two boys threatened to hit me with a broom, a broom! WTF?!?! Grr. Then today was sleeping in, shopping, errands, and eventually home to have a relaxed dinner and cup of tea. Ahhhh, the best part of the weekend! lol.

I’m not sure why but the past couple days I just wanna eat, sigh, not huge meals or anything, I just want to snack. shrug. I bought some dark chocolate peanut M&M’s when I was out shopping – I couldn’t seem to help it, but I haven’t cracked them open yet so least that’s something. sigh. I keep wanting to just grab a nibble of this or a bite of that – you get the idea…it’s damn annoying! What’s worse is I am not even hungry but if someone put some kind of nibbly anywhere near me right now I’d more then likely nibble, willpower be damned! lol

Today I ate:

1 cup cooked oatmeal = 2 points

3 tbls maple syrup = 2 points

3 tsp brown sugar = 1 point

2 pieces toast = 2 points

1 tbsl light peanut butter = 2 points

1 werther’s chocolate = 1 point

6 chicken strips = 8 points

mixed cooked veggies = 0 points

2 tbls honey mustard sauce = 1 point

1 thinsations yogurt covered pretzels = 2 points

Total points eaten is 21. 🙂

The chicken strips are a new and yummy find. 🙂 They are from Safeway and are the Safeway Eating Right brand, 3 strips = 4 points. Now, normally I would only eat 3 of them at a time, along with some veggies but I had a lot of points left over by the time I was making dinner and I was quite hungry so I figured I’d eat 6 and see how it went. lol. They are quite good. They are not deep fried or trans fatty or any of that stuff. So…kinda healthy chicken strips…well, the healthiest you’ll ever get I s’pose. Normally I could never afford them, they are like $12 for a box! But my parents rock and sent me a gift card for Safeway so I bought the strips when doing my normal grocery shopping. 🙂 I figure they are a good investment since there are like 8 servings in a box, so 8 meals for $12, that’s good isn’t it? I am also trying to buy things that will last in the freezer till I get back from my christmas vacation – I will be crazed broke when I get back after christmas so I am planning ahead for that and buying things I can eat then, so frozen stuff, canned stuff…ya know, non perishable stuff.  Ah the joys of planning ahead, lol. 😀
