Up a Pound

I was up +1.2 pounds today.  My theory? I've been doing okay on the food - but need to drink more water. I still need to work on eating all of my allotted points for the day - I have yet to eat all of my points in a given day, so that could be affecting my loss now as well. Also, last week was very stressful at work, so that could have something to do with it.  Ah well.  I look forward to evicting the poor sucker by weigh-in next week :-)

Food Plan for Today:
B: Yoplait Light Key Lime Pie & 1/4 c. grape-nuts (6 pts)
S: Apple w/ 2 babybel wedges (3 pts)
L: Gina's Lightened Up Asian Peanut Noodles w/ Chicken (10 pts)
S: Grapefruit (0 pts)
D: ??? Either Peanut Noodles again, or Cold-Weather Soup (again). (Soup - 6 pts; Noodles - 10 pts)
S: ???
E: None unless I do some therapy exercises - DDD flaring again

Oh- instead of regular rice noodles for the Asian dish, I used No-Oodles.  Essentially the same concept as the Shiritaki Tofu Noodles and I think the price is about the same.  I liked them and will be using them again!

Lastly, on the genealogy front, only 64 more days until the 1940 census is released!!!  I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am :-)

Yuck

This was my lunch today.  It was not good -at all!  I even tried putting salt on it thinking that it would be edible (PS - I rarely put salt on anything).  It still wasn't good.  Never again.

1/10/11 Weigh-In

Hooray!!  I lost 5 pounds last week :-)  I'm one excited woman right now. My goal is 1-2, but I think because I was re-introducing the good foods and not eating the bad foods, my body must have done a cleansing of some sort.  Fine by me.

This morning I got up early and did Wii Just Dance 2 for 20 minutes, and then did the Biggest Loser Power Walk and Cooldown.  Have to say, I was impressed with the Power Walk and am excited to do it again.

Weigh-In

My first weigh-in of 2011 was not good.  Not good at all! 

Tonight I'm going shopping so that I can stock up on healthy veggies - I really should have done it this weekend, but I was in a perpetual state of laziness.  Which is why my foods today aren't exactly the best....but they're not the worst either!

Food today:
B:...work was crazy so ended up eating my breakfast for lunch
L: Cream of Wheat (3 pts), 1 tsp Splenda (0 pt), 1 cup 1% milk (3 pts) = 7 pts total
S: None yet - brought 4 small clementines (0 pt), string cheese (2 pts), and applesauce (0 pt) = 2 pts total
D: ????
E:  Either Walk it Out (Wii) , Just Dance (Wii), or Zumba (Wii)

The Second Day of the Rest of My Life

I have a confession to make. I'm a chronic scale junkie. I weigh myself everyday, first thing in the morning right after I use the bathroom. Normally, it keeps me on track. I understand weight fluctuations, so seeing the scale fluctuate a few pounds here or there doesn't really bother me normally. At least, when I'm good.  When I'm other than good, I tend to forget the fact that I own one.  See, if I don't know the numbers I don't have to be accountable.

I know my journey isn't all about the numbers on the scale. I still need to take measurements - that is something I need to work on.  Maybe a picture....but then again, I hate getting my picture taken because then I'd have visuals. But that's the thing with shame. I feel such shame at how I look I don't want any reminders.

Two years ago I was at the other end of this journey.  I was steadily losing.  I could shop anywhere for my clothes ~ not just the plus sections. I felt better.  I exercised everyday.  I made healthy choices and stuck to them.  Now, most of my clothes don't fit and I refuse to buy bigger sizes.  (Maybe one day I'll post on emotional eating - that's my biggest downfall)

So this morning I weighed in.  Down 2.2 pounds.  Yay me!!!  So I wrote it down in my Scale Journal and will talley up the average for my "official" weigh in next Monday.

Today I'm just living for today and the choices I make within these 24 hours.  Can I fit in a walk?  Can I drink more water than I did yesterday?  Can I prep my food tonight so I don't have to rush to do it in the morning?  Sure I can - the question is what will I choose to do for me today?
