Down a whole .4 lbs this week. Woo Hoo! At this pace I’ll reach my next goal in the year 2020. Oh well, at least I’m still going in the right direction. If I could make myself start exercising again I’m sure I would start losing more quickly, but I just haven’t been able to make it happen. Maybe the Spring weather will motivate me (if it ever gets to Missery). It’s freezing today.

btw… my total weight today is 181.8. The blog back-end is messed up and I can’t get to the scale thingie to change it. I’ll do it once the site is working again.

Weighed in this morning. Only down .6 lbs today, but I guess that’s better than a gain. I ate a lot of scones and brownies this week, so I’m lucky I went down at all.

Down one pound today. I’ll take it. Ready to move out of the 180′s though.

Stayed the same exact weight this week. It’s that time of the month and I didn’t exercise once all week… so I’m happy to maintain.

Down another 1.4 lbs today. I thought it was a fluke, but I guess my body is finally ready to lose a little more. I don’t even feel like I did all that great with my food last week, but I must be doing something right. I did exercise once for 25 minutes on the elliptical on Wednesday night. I guess that helped. I’m sorry I didn’t make it here all week to list me food. I’ll try to do better this coming week. Anyway, bummer that I missed your call today. I’ll be home all day tomorrow just doing bills and laundry. Call me back if you can. I want to find out how you’re doing. Miss seeing you here.

Sorry I haven’t been here. Long work week. Weighed in yesterday morning at the same exact weight as last week, 185.2 lbs. I’m always amazed when the scale reads the exact same weight, down to the tenth point. I like to think of that as a successful week since my lifelong M.O. has been to gain if I’m not losing. I know I haven’t lost very much in the past several months, but maintaining is actually more of an accomplishment for me. After 40 years of life I might (stressing the MIGHT) finally be figuring this thing out. One can hope at least, right?

So, How’s the WW going? I always liked WW when I did it. i know you’re not a fan though. Has it gotten any better for you this time? I saw that you called me one day last week. Sorry I didn’t call back. I was working late and didn’t see that you called until I was on my way home… late at night, in the dark, snow and ice. I’m WAY over the winter weather here. Anyway, here’s what I can remember of my food since last I was here on Tuesday.

Tuesday Jan 18 (dinner):
I just ate cereal when I got home that night. 1 bowl of Banana Nut Cheerios with skim milk…. then straight to bed.

Wednesday Jan 19:
Breakfast: 2 small scones. dc
Lunch: Smart Ones 4 mini cheese pizzas. Sugar Free vanilla pudding. dc.
Dinner: one spoonful of Chicken Risotto. 3 meatballs in sauce sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. water.

Thursday Jan 20:
Breakfast: 2 small scones. dc
Lunch: approx. 1 cup of chicken salad (some on a croissant and the rest just by itself). 1 lite yogurt. 10 Saltines. dc
Dinner: 1 California Pizza Kitchen individual frozen pizza. 1 fudge pop. dc.

Friday Jan 21:
Breakfast: 2 small scones. dc.
Lunch: 20 Saltines. 1 sugar free vanilla pudding. dc.
Dinner: We went out to eat for J’s birthday… Japanese Hibachi style restaurant. So, you know the deal at one of those places. You get the rice, noodles, and veggies and then I had the grilled chicken and shrimp with mine. dc. I really didn’t feel like I was eating that much but then all of a sudden it hit my stomach like a lead brick. Then I felt SOOOO full.

Saturday Jan 22:
Breakfast: 2 small scones. dc.
Lunch: about 10 pizza rolls. Just ate from what I made the kids… too busy getting ready for J’s birthday party to stop and fix myself anything decent. dc.
Snack: banana
Dinner: 3 slices of Pizza Hut pizza at J’s party. 1 slice of mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. Yeah, didn’t do so great yesterday. I’m sure my 185.2 is not still standing today, but no way I’m weighing myself again. I’ll make up for it during the week… or, at least that’s the plan.

Exercise: Zero, Ziltch, NONE! Don’t know what’s wrong with me that I can’t get myself to do any darn exercise. I may be my skinniest weight I’ve been since 1997, but I am much softer (muscle-wise) than I was a couple of months ago. So, that’s a bummer. Oh well.

Just a quick check in here. Congrats on the all new low. You are a rockstar!!! You have been such a champion through this whole ordeal. You deserve a big, giant pat on the back. You rock.

I did well my 1st week on WW. I lost 6.6 lbs. I tried to change the ticker but maybe its down or something because it wants me to make a brand new one. IDK. My mother is now wanting to go to WW this week to join. We’ll see how that goes. I hope I do as well this week. You know weekends are hardf for me and this one was a 3 dayer. I did well, but I am also starting with the pre-period bloat with cramps soon to follow. I hope my damn period doesn’t screw me up.

Here is today’s food:

B:2/3 cup lowfat granola cereal, 2/3 cup skim milk, banana
L: green salad, – lettuce, yellow bell pepper, chicken breast, onion, tiny bit of real cheese, honey mustard dressing, 1 slice whole wheat toast
D: Zea’s Cafe – grilled chicken breast, cabbage, sauteed corn.
S: 1 nectarine

Oh no, I’m here and looking for your posts. Had my weigh-in this morning. I’m at my lowest weight to date! YAY! 185.2 lbs. Surprising once again since I didn’t think I did all that great last week AND we went to Outback last night and I pigged out (even shared a Chocolate Thunder from Down Under with G), AND I didn’t do any exercise last week either. So, needless to say, I was expecting a gain… or at least to stay the same… but, I lost. I am really surprised, but happy of course. The kids are spending the night at their cousins house tonight for a birthday party, so G and I will go out. I think I want to see that movie about the bank robbers with Ben Afleck (sp?). I’m not a big Ben fan, but I’ve heard really good things about the movie. It will be nice to have a night off from the kids. Haven’t had any vertigo episodes since Tuesday. Not sure what that was all about. Am planning to get some new progress photos up this week. How ’bout you? I understand if you want to wait a while, but I think we really should do the photos again (at least every couple of months or so). Well, here’s the food:

Thursday Jan 13:
Breakfast: 1.5 homemade apple scones. dc.
Lunch: One WW pasta meal. 1 lite yogurt. 15 saltines. dc.
Dinner: Scoop of homemade chicken salad on two small slices of homemade nine-grain bread. 1 Clementine. Bite of Ziti casserole (wanted to taste it). 1 WW strawberry smoothie frozen yogurt bar. Water.

Friday Jan 14:
Breakfast: 1 McD’s egg and cheese biscuit (I know, bad me).
Lunch: small side field green salad with very lite blue cheese dressing. small bowl of gourmet chili. 1 shortbread cookie. water.
Dinner: Oh God… I totally fell off the wagon with this meal. Outback: 3 slices of bread with butter. 2 hot wings dipped in ranch. Side salad with ranch dressing. Grilled chicken sandwich with Swiss and honey mustard (no sides). Half of a hot fudge, chocolate brownie sundae. UGH! I seriously can’t believe I lost weight after that meal. Seriously.

Saturday Jan 15:
Breakfast: 1 bowl of Banana Nut Cheerios with skim milk. 2 slices honey wheat bread with a little butter and homemade strawberry jam. dc.
Lunch: 4 small square slices of leftover homemade pizza (with cheese, tomatoes, basil and olive oil). 2 Clementines. Half of a banana. dc.
Dinner: G is dieting, too, so we have decided not to do another big expensive dinner out. We’ve decided to do Chipolte and then a movie or something. So I will have my Chipolte grilled chix salad that I always get and maybe an iced tea instead of dc (maybe… the dc is still a possibility). No dessert tonight. I’ll let you know if I veer from this the next time I post.

Exercise:
Still working on getting back to exercising. I’ve been feeling better emotion-wise the past few days, but still struggling with my energy levels. I will re-commit to getting some exercise in this week (or trying to).
