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

All In One Meal

19 Sep

So I did a bad bad thing; I ate almost all my points in one meal. Oops! lol. It wasn’t even some kind of splurge thing where I decided to save my points so I could eat something really good it was just the day getting away from me and all of a sudden it is dinner time and I haven’t eaten anything.

When I went out to do a bunch of errands I planned on eating right after errand number two – that was Costco. Coscto is like a dream and a nightmare all at once – surrounded by so many things (you should have seen all the Christmas suff!) and yet, who needs to buy 3 jumbo sized boxes of Ziploc bags? Not me, I don’t even have space for them in my kitchen and yet they ended up in my cart, lol. I took them out of the cart before I got to the check out but something about that place, *shakes head*, I always feel like I want to buy so much more then what I really need. The high point of every costco trip is the hot dog…yup, you read that right! I always always always go to the eatery section and buy a hot dog and pop, I mean come on, it’s like $2 and the hot dogs there are sooooooo good! I don’t drink pop anymore but I figured I could still get the hot dog cause I only go there maybe once every 6 months or so and I hadn’t eaten anything yet today. Well, sadness, the eatery section is under construction so no hot dog for me. 😦 The bigger problem with the eatery being closed is that I had a bunch more stuff to do and no chance to get something to eat. sigh.

Luckily I had a little Weight Watchers Pretzel snack bag thing in my purse and a bottle of water with me so that held me over till I got home. The weird thing is that I kept thinking I should be hungry, I mean come on, it was like 6pm before I got home and ate but I didn’t feel hungry at all. I even managed to go grocery shopping and stick only to my list cause I just didn’t care about food. It’s so odd. When I got home I had my whole dinner figured out and I thought by then I’d be practically diving in to it but nope, I think I could have gone without eating at all and I’d of been fine…not healthy, but fine. shrug. If I wasn’t on weight watchers that’s what I would have done – not eat anything I mean. It’s not that big a deal, I used to not eat for an entire day or two I want to say all the time but that’s an exageration, but often. Now it’s ingrained in me I have to eat, even if I am not hungry, so I made myself a high point dinner and ate that and voila! I hit my points exactly. 🙂 Yah! lol

I don’t want to screw up since I had such a good weigh in yesterday…gotta keep on track! It’ll be easier during the week, as much as I am not looking forward to work least I know for the next five days I will be on a more structured eating timeline and that is always helpful.

Today I ate:

1 weight watchers Pretzel Thins = 2 points

2 timbits = 4 points

85 grams Alexia Yam Fries = 3 points

1 Chicken breast (stuffed with broccoli and cheese) = 7 points

1 cup kraft dinner = 6 points

Total points eaten is 22. I also had a corn on the cob and 1 tsp margarine with my dinner but the corn tasted funny. I am not sure how long it is meant to last in the fridge, it’s the last corn on the cob that I bought last weekend (there were four in a pack) and I have been eating them over the course of the week. I only took about two bites of it and decided to not push my luck so I am not counting points from it, shrug, too bad cause I really like it but it so didn’t taste like how it was supposed to! 😛 Speaking of how long food lasts anyone have any ideas about chick peas? I opened the can at some point during the last week…maybe last weekend…I really can’t remember, but I haven’t been eating a lot of them so I still have a bunch in my fridge and I am wondering how long I can keep eating them before they go bad…I hate how quickly so many foods go bad, sigh. I can never seem to eat things quickly enough.

I am still riding the high from having officially reached ten pounds lost so I wore a sweater/wrap thing I own that I haven’t worn in a while. I haven’t worn it for a while cause (1) it’s been summer, duh! and (2) when I bought it it fit nice, then I gained even more weight and it stopped hiding my bulges and started making me look like a big blob. sigh. I thought I’d give it a try today, see how I felt in it and how it looked. It wasn’t bad, it could be better but I was happy with it. It skimmed over me the way it is supposed to which was nice. 🙂 Makes me wonder what else in my closet I can wear now that I had gotten too fat for…guess I’ll just have to treat myself to an evening of trying on my own clothes and seeing how they fit…but not tonight cause the season premiere of Law and Order SVU is on in a half hour and I am gonna be glued to my tv for the duration. 😀
