Thursday March 31st
I'm feeling worse this morning but I'm still mom so I'm pushing through.
I started this morning with my protein shake, it was hard because I really wanted a biscuit.. but I decided not to spend those.
For lunch I had Chinese, shrimp and broccoli, rice and an egg roll.
Dinner I had McDonald's.. but guess what.. I had a large diet coke, a quarter pounder and a side salad with my own fat free dressing.. so I didn't do too bad! I did snack on some candy from my childhood, peanut butter bars.. yummy!

Day 84... It's weigh day!
Wednesday March 30th
I started again this morning with my protein shake.. cookies and cream is awesome!
I like to dress and eat lighter on weigh in days.. I'm still sick but I'm pushing through.
For lunch I had a can of soup and a Hostess cupcake.. so let me tell you about this cupcake. I told my husband, no I don't want it.. he said oh come on it's just one.. SABOTAGE!
I go to WW.. jump on the scale.. I'm hoping for 1lb.. I get.. 3.6lbs lost.. WOW... in 12 weeks I've lost 27.8lbs. That's almost an average of 10lbs a month! I'm very proud of myself! I started at 351.2lbs and today I weight 323.4lbs!
We go to the buffet for dinner, I have a big salad, chicken (skin removed), greens, cabbage, mashed potatoes.. one roll covered in butter and half piece of carrot cake. It was a cheat meal of sorts, not sure how to count it so I exhausted the rest of my points for the day!

Day 83... Only 2 more days of catching up
Tuesday March 29th
I'm starting to feel sick. I hate this but I feel I just need to push through it.
For breakfast I made my protein shake.. and out the door!
For lunch my friend took me to Chili's. I ordered the chicken fajita lunch sandwich with a salad.. I didn't know it came with fries! She order chips and salsa, I didn't do too bad with those. I didn't eat the bread on the sandwich to save some points.
For dinner.. went back to Chili's .. I wanted to order the chicken fajitas but I couldn't and get all that I wanted.. it's dumb :( So I ended up ordering fried shrimp with broccoli and black beans.
Breakfast: 7 points
Lunch: 16 points

Day 82.. Almost caught up!
Monday March 28th
Today I have to start my day as a single mom since my husband works on overnight calls. I get up and get ready, get the kids together and I make my protein shake.. I'm out the door!
I didn't get a chance to pack a workout bag and I'm super busy at work. Mad I missed my workout!
I have a dentist appointment, and I don't know about you all but I really hate eating after I get my teeth clean. I'm pressed for time to get back to work so I stop at Boston Market. I figure I could make good choices and stay on track. I got a 3 piece chicken meal, steamed veggies and new potatoes cornbread and a diet coke.
For dinner, we had spaghetti and broccoli.

Sunday March 27th
I start this morning with a protein shake and a banana. I figure after the choices I made this weekend I needed to have a better start.
The sermon for today was amazing, about being active and doing God's work. It inspired me to get involved in more activities.
For lunch we went to Jack Stack bbq ... I had a grilled chicken salad with ranch. Well.. when we left.. we went for what.. CUPCAKES.. you know I can be mad all I want that I have these temptations but at the end of the day I'm putting it in my mouth, no one is forcing me. I had 1 cupcake.
For dinner I decided to get Chinese.. figured it was a filling food with a low point value. I had chicken and broccoli, steamed rice and an egg roll.

Lunch: 12 points

Day 79... I love playing catch up
Friday March 25th
I bought some more protein powder.. the kind from Walmart. So here's the thing, I thought I was buying chocolate but I bought cookies and cream... I was pretty bummed but I decided to give it a try.. NOT BAD AT ALL!!! I dumped a scoop in my coffee.
Today was an odd day, we had a "fun activity" at work today. I was the bearded lady.. pretty sexy one too! I missed my lunch with my friend so I ended up not going until later. In the meantime I ate a turkey sandwich, a deli creation thing. It wasn't bad..
I had a late lunch with my friend .. it all went down hill at this point!
I had a California Roll and half of a Las Vegas Roll... that roll is deep fried with cream cheese :(
After that I stopped for cupcakes.. I went in to get a few and ended up with a dozen!
We went to my in laws to hang out this evening and we had pizza. I had the thin crust from Pappy Murphy's, the Mediterranean Chicken... it was so good I had 4 slices. I thought oh this isn't bad.. I looked it up when I got home and OMG.. I thought eating a salad with fat free dressing would help fill me up but that pizza was so thin that it took a few pieces.
After dinner I ate one cupcake.. there isn't a way for me to gage the points of those cupcakes so I count them higher than maybe what they really are.
Breakfast: 3 points
Lunch: 29 points.. YIKES
Dinner: 20 points Double YIKES
Dessert: 8 points
I freaking used 60 points today.. NO BUENO!!! I tapped in to 8 of my weekly points

Day 78... I'm behind :(
Thursday March 24..
Today.. I tried yoga! I thought it was cool at first then I realized it was too advanced for me.. I realized that I needed a little more flexibility before I tackle that class again. I do want to try a beginners yoga though.
For breakfast I had 1/4 of a donut and a cup of coffee. I love it when people bring in donuts, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :)
Before lunch, I went to the yoga class.. it was a good experience.
I stopped on the way back and grabbed a salad with grilled chicken and a pasta e fagioli soup. It was very filling!
For dinner I made chicken fajitas. I used low carb tortillas, 2% cheese and salsa. It's a low point dinner and filling at the same time.
Breakfast: 3 points
Lunch: 9 points
Snack: 2 points (forgot to mentioned I munched on some chips)

Day 77.. Weigh Day!
Wednesday March 23rd
Guess what I had this morning.. 1 PIECE OF SAUSAGE.. lol and coffee! It was some protein, I cooked breakfast for the kiddos and I grabbed a piece of sausage before I left the house.
Today is weigh day so I'm trying to be extra good. I went to the gym with some friends, I make fun of them for things they forgot.. ie, sports bras, towels.. and I forgot my tennis shoes. I tried to run barefoot but that was soo painful. I ended up on the stationary bike, I need to find a more comfortable pad for that thing. I finished with some crunches.. which prompted muscle spams.. that's a good thing right??
After I left my hubby brought me a grilled chicken salad from Burger King.. it was very good! I was full and ready to go! I snacked on some dark chocolate turtles.
Finally, time to weigh in..
I lost... 2lbs!! I total of 24.2lbs lost.. I'm on a roll.. this weight lifting is really paying off!
For dinner I we had fried chicken, skin removed. Mashed potatoes, green beans and I treated myself to 2 biscuits.
Breakfast: 2 points
Lunch: 8 points
Snack: 5 points

Day 76.. Woo hoo.. catching up!
Tuesday March 22nd.. IT'S MY MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY!
I started this morning again with coffee.. I promise one day soon I will do better!
For lunch I grabbed some Chinese food, I picked the veggies as the side but knowing they cook them in oil I counted 2 points for it. I had chicken and string bean and teriyaki chicken with light sauce.
I went to the gym after work and got my weight lifting workout in.. I felt pretty good. We picked up the kids and grabbed dinner at Denny's.. kids eat free.. YAY!
I'm not sure I made the best decision, I had a Spicy Cowboy beef patty thing.. I made sure all of my sides were veggies though just in case it was the worst thing ever. I had green beans and a salad with ranch dressing. I asked for the dressing on the side so I could control how much.
Breakfast: 0 points
Lunch: 9 points
Dinner: 35 points

Day 75... I think this is a milestone!
This morning started with ... NOTHING.. horrible.. but I was soo busy.. I need to plan better to have something to grab for quick meals!
For lunch I went with my friend for sushi.. I had egg drop soup, a California roll and 3 pieces of a Las Vegas Roll.. IT WAS WONDERFUL! I can't eat that often though. Afterwards we stopped at a new cupcake place, I picked strawberry shortcake.. it was soo nasty it tasted just like dirt... well at least I have to tell myself that so I don't go back every day!
For dinner we went to planet sub.. I got a Tuscan chicken sandwich with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes. I had a Greek salad on the side.. I couldn't figure out the points for the sandwich because it's not listed on their website. I figured it was the same as their chicken parm. At that point I had 27 points left for the day so I decided to just count them all and not ate anything else with a point value.
Breakfast: 0 points
Lunch: 17 points
Snack: 8 points (cupcake)
Dinner: 27 points
I figured all of my points for today.. so none left!

Day 74... Sunday.. wow...
So I started this morning really good.. ... .....
I had yogurt, a banana and a small fat free cappuccino ... that was the best part of what I ate today.
We went to a buffet with my church for dinner. I started great with a salad with lite Italian dressing. I had a piece of steak, 1 chicken leg with the skin removed, green beans, asparagus, 1 roll, some chocolate covered marshmallows and strawberries. A couple of bites of carrot cake, about 4 fried mushrooms, 2 pieces of fried fish.. I was soo stuffed! I decided today I won't track .. I gave myself a day off..
For dinner later that evening I had 2 slices of chicken supreme pizza and a large salad with fat free dressing.. so I'm not sure of my points from this day but I won't head down that road again for a while!

Day 73.. it's Saturday!
I got up to cook this morning.. and I wasn't feeling it. So we went out.. I thought I made a good choices. I order 2 eggs over medium.. sometimes I wonder if cooks are bothered when I ask for eggs over medium because rarely do I get them.. they are either over hard or over easy.. but these eggs were PERFECTION!! I asked for wheat toast dry with butter on the side so I could control my own. Ham as my meat selection and a side of potatoes. I had coffee.. I blindly poured in half and half.. the little individual containers .. well I thought to measure AFTERWARDS... each container is about 2 tbsp of creamer.. So after I had my 2nd cu I measured 1 tbsp for my 3rd, better late than never right :)
I didn't eat lunch.. I was so busy with errands that it slipped my mind.. not eating = not good!
We met friends for dinner at Chili's.. They put chips and salsa out on the table. .I was sooo hungry that I dove in.. I had 10 maybe 12 chips max.. I didn't go too crazy.. now my kids on the other hand.. again can put away some food..
I ordered the grilled salmon with shrimp, black beans and broccoli. It was soo good.. I was afraid of the points but I decided to just go for it.
When I got home and added up my points I was very proud of myself.. so I treated myself to a full serving of chocolate covered macadamia nuts!
Breakfast: 19 points
Lunch: 0... bad.. very bad!

Day 72... and the marathon continues!
This is for Friday March 18th.. I went on the road.. watch how this plays out!
We took a day trip to St Louis.. about 4 hrs away. I knew that I was going to eat White Castle sliders so I had to be good the rest of the day :D
For breakfast we went to Bob Evans.. I had a veggie omelet made with egg beaters. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't what I wanted more of what I needed. I put some salsa on top, I also had a small cup of fruit and 1 piece of dry wheat toast with 1 packet of jelly.
We were off... my kids were hungry the whole trip of course.. any time we stopped they wanted something to eat. So first stop I grabbed a banana.. they keep me satisfied until a meal.
The next stop I got my son a corn dog and my daughter a hotdog.. My son didn't really like the corndog so I ate half of it.
For lunch we stopped at Macaroni grill. I opted for the build your own pasta.. I thought I could control what I ate better that way. I selected whole wheat penne noodles, chicken, a spicy red sauce, fresh spinach, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. The portion size was crazy.. so I ate until I was full but I made sure to eat the veggies first and I left some of the pasta. I had one slice of bread while waiting for my meal.
THEN THEY STOPPED AT WHITE CASTLE.. I was soo full from the pasta but this was definitely going down! I ordered 4 white castles. I ate 3 1/2... my son ate the other half.. I love you but you didn't tell me you wanted a burger before I went in so you're lucky you're getting this half!
That was the last thing I ate.. I was so stuffed and happy that the night ended with me passing out soon after I got home :)

I haven't been making my blog a priority.. I feel like I'm treating it like an unwanted step child.. I love you blog.. and I'm sorry for abandoning you :)

For lunch I had a Smartones and a salad.

Day 69... Still catching up
This is for Tuesday...
This morning started with just coffee.. I know.. not a great start.. but I had to grab something I was super busy!
For lunch I went to the cafeteria ... I asked the guy at the grill.. "can I get a turkey patty wrapped in lettuce?" he was like.. NO... why the heck not??? Finally I got my patty.. I had a diet green tea, a Greek salad and a banana. I had a dark chocolate turtle.
After work I went to the gym, I did my weights and spent 5 mins on the stationary bike.
I snacked on 10 Ritz crackers.
For dinner we went to the buffet.. I was like I can attack this with EASE... I started with a HUGE salad with lite Italian dressing. I had a small piece of steak, I had 2 bites it was way too tough! I had a small portion of popcorn shrimp, a serving of mashed potatoes and gravy, LOTS of green beans, and some cabbage. It was pretty good.. I grabbed 2 chicken legs and pulled the skin off.. I topped it off with a small piece of carrot cake.

Day 68.. I've been slacking
I logged in thinking I had updated more recently then I had.. dang since Sunday!! Wow.. ok so now I'm catching up!
This is for Monday..
I started my day light, coming off of this weekend I wanted to get back on track, I didn't want a gain on the scale. For breakfast I grabbed a banana and coffee with creamer.. not the best breakfast but it was something on my belly.
For lunch I had a girls outing and we went to On the Border. I had the chicken fajita salad... I asked for ranch on the side and extra salsa. I counted for less dressing and to add the salsa to the salad as the dressing. I had a few chips and some black been dip. I broke the chips into smaller pieces so I didn't feel deprived.
My husband has some chocolate chip cookies in the house.. yeah it's become a lot harder!! I had 1 but they weren't bad.. it was 2 points for 1 cookie.
For dinner I made chili, topped with some 2% cheese and some multigrain crackers.

Day 67... I'm trying to fight my way back to the top!
As I'm getting ready for church I know that I have to do better today.. yesterday was a complete and total train wreck! I started with a vanilla protein shake.. I left the banana out and ate half a banana separate.
For lunch we went to Red Lobster... dun dun dunnnnn.... sigh.. I wish it was easier to fight the temptation of those wonder cheese biscuits.
I choose the Sailor's Platter.. it actually was a pretty ok choice.. I had broccoli as a side and a salad with ranch. I did have 2 biscuits though.
After we left we stopped by the cupcake place.. I really need to stay away from temptation, this weekend I was drawn to everything bad .. all at once. I understand that this plan is flexible enough that I can have those things but not all in one weekend!
I was sooo tired that I came home to crash, daylight savings is wonderful isn't it???
For dinner, I knew that I needed to be really good. We had Chinese and I order chicken and broccoli with steamed rice.. now that I think about it.. I didn't ask for steamed rice she just knew. She actually said when I called.. oh I miss you.. where have you been. Sad that I'm a regular "voice".
No dessert tonight!

Day 66.. I think I've hit the bottom!
I wake up to cook breakfast for my troop... I made 28 sausages, 16 pancakes and 16 eggs.. I'm sure I could've fed the homeless of my city!
I had a small portion of eggs, 2 sausage, 1 cup of orange juice, 2 pancakes with lite syrup. I also cut up strawberries with a sprinkle of sugar.
The bad eating starts now.. I ate 2 chocolate covered macadamia nuts.. they are soo good but soo bad!
For lunch I decide well if I only eat one chili dog and a big salad then I will be good... well not so much.. I looked up the points and I'm like WOW!! I did measure 1 tbsp of chili and less than a serving of 2% cheese.
For dinner I made cheese burgers.. yes it just keeps getting better! I did again use 2% cheese and lean ground beef. I got myself low calorie wheat buns to go with my burgers. I put a lot of tomato and lettuce on my burger, I had about 10 french fries and two.. yes I said TWO burgers.. I felt my old self coming back, I didn't like that feeling.
For dessert I picked up some gelato from the mall, when I looked up the point value it was very low!

Day 65... the downward sprial
I'm at day 65 .. it's Friday and I'm ready to face the weekend. I start the morning with a banana and coffee.. I think.. I didn't track my food until Monday so I hope I captured breakfast right. I do remember everything I had.. I think :)
For lunch I had my pasta I made the night before.. I was trying to hurry up and finish my report for work so I could leave early, I was excited because my niece and nephew were coming over. Right before I left work I was soo hungry and I was going to the gym for a quick work out but I didn't want to go on an empty stomach so I had a handful of fruit loops.. I know I know.. but it was the only thing I could grab at the moment.
At the gym I work out on the stationary bike for about 5 mins, long enough to jack up my heart rate. After that I hit the weights for about 30 mins. I felt really good after my workout. I ate a cup of yogurt right after.
We picked up all the kids.. all 4 of them.. and went to Costco so I could get enough food to feed my new small army. I got hamburger meat and hotdogs.. this was the beginning of the end.
After we left we took the kids to Power Play and went to the buffet. So I figured I could tackle this buffet with ease. I started by making myself a HUGE salad with lite Italian dressing. That was prob the best decision I made.. I had 1 slice of meat lovers pizza, a tiny amount of shrimp Alfredo, a tiny amount of chicken fried rice.. btw I didn't eat all of this stuff wasn't very good. I had half a roll, about 5 pieces of popcorn chicken and about 5 fries. It wasn't horrible.. but it wasn't great. I then had a cinnamon roll... that was the LAST thing I ate that night!!!

Day 64... it's the day after
I decided to give the protein a break.. I want to see if the scale will make a difference next week. I have to change things here and there to determine what works well in my weight loss.
I started this morning with some WW Apple and Cinnamon oatmeal, I didn't care for it at all!!! I choked it down, I will use the rest of it for recipes or if I'm out of everything else. I had a few strawberries and coffee with 1tbsp of creamer.
For lunch we went to a pizza place, it was pretty good. I order a 6 inch whole wheat crust with chicken and mushrooms. I ordered a small Greek salad and asked for the dressing on the side. I used about 1/4 of the dressing the gave me.. I would eyeball it at about 1/2 tbsp. It was pretty good. Coming back to e-tools to figure those points was a challenge but I did it.
I snacked on a WW dark chocolate turtle and peanut butter bliss bar,
For dinner I made a chicken pasta with sauteed onions and bell pepper, steamed broccoli, and a four cheese sauce worth 3 points per serving. It was pretty good.. I need to put it in the recipe builder to get a more accurate total.

Day 63.. it's Weigh Day!
Going in to weigh day I always get nervous.. I want to make sure I eat light because I don't weigh in until later in the day. I also make sure I'm not wearing heavy clothes so I go right after work. I started this morning with my banana protein shake. I feel like I've become a pro at whipping those up.
I had to run an errand over lunch, it didn't take as much time as I thought it would. I then debated what I should eat for lunch.. I thought well I could go here, or go there... I came back to work and went to the cafeteria and get a salad with grilled chicken.
I went to weight watchers and I got on the scale... down .4lbs.. ok.. so yes it's a loss but not what I was hoping for. I thought well maybe since I lost so much last week I had to balance out.. During the meeting I talked about my blog... and when the leader asked what the name of it was, I hesitated because I didn't want to offend anyone. Then I thought, that wasn't my intention behind the name of my blog so I blurted it out.. the group erupted with laughter.. It was a conversation piece afterwards. I felt pretty good about sharing it, I might take the link to the next meeting.
For dinner we had Subway.. the woman making my sandwich was very chatty... she put way more Light Mayo on my sandwich than I wanted but I figured I was good with points, I would just count the extra. I had a footlong Subway Club with only 2 slices of pepper jack cheese instead of 4 (sooo yummy) no chips and water to drink.

Day 62... it's Tuesday.. YAY
I started my morning with my banana protein shake.. It's still throwing me off that there are points to add a banana to a shake. Anywho... today I have to take my daughter for an evaluation so I needed to get as much done as I could before I leave for that. Today is also the day of the funeral for the baby of a dear friend of mine. My heart goes out to the family and they are in my prayers.
After my daughters appointment, we took her to lunch. She loved being able to eat lunch with her mom and dad. It used to always be just the 3 of us so I'm sure having us to herself made her day. We went to Ken-Taco-Hut... anyone from KC knows what this place is. It was great, I had fresco tacos from Taco Bell, my daughter had a pizza from the hut and my husband had KFC.
After lunch, I took her back to school and I went back to work. I was at home so I could grab food freely, I ended up eating two banana's. They are a very filling fruit!
For dinner we went to Cheddars... soo I love their broccoli and cheddar casserole.. I was going to order that but I decided I wanted to try one of those croissants. I wish I had stuck with the casserole.. it wasn't bad but just ok. I had 2 servings of steamed broccoli and about 1 3/4th pieces of grilled catfish, my daughter finished the rest of it. I was pretty proud of the decision I made.

Day 61... Start of a new work week
I woke up this morning and I was exhausted! This weekend was crazy.
I got up, got my kids ready and made my banana protein shake. So here's the thing, when I put all of the ingredients in the shake on etools it gave me a point value of 8 vs 4, 2 points for milk and 2 points for protein powder. I called WW today and asked why, they informed me when you add all of the ingredients together because of the sugars it adds a point value. I wonder if I will keep the banana on the side next time to save 4 points.
For lunch my friend wanted to go to sushi.. I had promised it to her and I couldn't break that promise. I had a California roll, salad with ginger dressing and egg drop soup.
I snacked on a WW cinnamon bar.. WW makes great snacks!
For dinner we went to Applebees... I had the bourbon chicken and shrimp.. Applebees have lessened their portion sizes.. while this is good to help not to over eat I feel like what I had was over priced, and it wasn't very good. I also had a side of broccoli and iced tea. There was garlic butter on the shrimp and chicken so I counted points for that.
Not a bad day.. and NO DESSERT!!!

Day 60... My mom should get out today!
Before I go to the hospital I'm going to church with my family. I made my banana protein shake again.. so good! It keeps me pretty full for a good part of the day.
From church I went straight to the hospital and sat with my mom. I stayed for about 1 1/2 hrs, I had to get a report done for work and I couldn't connect at the hospital. I went to my in laws and ate dinner.. I had a big salad with low fat French, bbq'd chicken, 1/4 cup of baked beans, green beans and a few baked fries.
I got my mother in law hooked on those cupcakes, she went about bought 1 dozen. I had just one.. that was the last meal I ate for the day. It's not a regular thing that I do that so I'm not too mad at myself but I won't make a habit out of it.
I got to take my mom home! The day ended well ;)

Day 59... Saturday
My mother calls me at 12:45am to inform me that they are admitting her to the hospital. I'm freaking out but I'm so dead tired from my workout. I told her I would be at the hospital first thing in the morning. I got up right before 7 put my daughter in the shower and combed her hair. I whipped up a protein shake and I was out the door to see about my mommy.
This morning's protein shake was just banana... and you know what.. I loved it! It was so much better than trying to mix berries with it. I could drink it without having to chew!
I got to the hospital and she's in pain.. I'm there to be with her for support and trying not to get in the way of the nurse. I could tell she was happy that I was there with her, she was all alone.
I left to get lunch when my brother got there, I went to pick up Chinese food. I love going to Panda Express because I can get veggies as a side. So I got that, mushroom chicken and string bean chicken. They must have put a lot of fat in their sauces or something because my meal was 12 points.
I ate and when back to the hospital to stay with my mom.
My husband brought the kids up and we all left together, we were going to get a funnel cake but the place closed. I went to Chipotle to get a chicken burrito bowl with half the rice, mixed beans, lettuce and guacamole. I ended up going to SmallCakes to treat everyone to cupcakes for dessert.. it was soo good!

Day 58... it's Friday!
I started my day with a protein shake, I had cherries and strawberry this morning.. NO BANANA!
My friend was back from Hawaii and brought me chocolate covered macadamia nuts... oh wow.. they are soo good! I had 1.
It was a pretty run of the mill morning. I felt well enough to go to the gym today.. I ran on the treadmill between 5 to 10 mins to warm up to hit the weights. I did a full circuit of weights.. kicked my tail!
I came back to the office and had spaghetti and salad for lunch.
For dinner we took the kids out and I ordered rotisserie chicken, wild rice pilaf and grilled veggies. They took a long time getting us food so they gave us a free dessert.. it was monster size! I was good. I ate about 1/2 cup of ice cream, 2tbsp of whipped cream and 1 half piece of the chocolate cake.

Day 57... I'm on a roll!
I'm still excited about my accomplishment on the scale.. I'm on cloud 9! I started this morning with a protein shake. If you remember the powder I kept talking about that I couldn't mix in my coffee. Well it worked much better in the blender! I mixed 1 scoop with 1 cup of skim milk, 1/2 a banana and 1/2 cup of strawberries and a few ice cubes. It was pretty tasty but tomorrow I will leave out the banana.
For lunch I had soup and a salad, pretty simple but filling. I had a WW snack bar to top it off and plus I had a nasty taste in my mouth.
For snack I had another WW snack bar.
For dinner I made spaghetti with lean ground beef and green beans. I also had a cupcake for dessert.
Pretty good day!

Day 56... Today is Weigh Day!
I'm feeling a little better this morning.. I'm still sluggish and I feel like I need Mucinex. I swear Zicam is wonderful, a co-worker tried to tell me it was a placebo.. It's not in my head! This stuff works!!!
This morning I had coffee, a banana and some oatmeal.. as I sit here typing I just remembered I left my bowls in the kitchen at work.... ugh.. I hope no one touches my stuff!! Any who... I had a super busy day and I barely had time to think about eating..
Lunch I had a smart ones Chicken, Broccoli and Rigatoni with a salad with my light Italian dressing.
I barely got a glass of water in I was so busy..
So I went to my meeting.. I got on the scale .. I'm down 4.8lbs in ONE WEEK!!! Grand total of 20lbs LOST!! I wanted to shout but I kept my composure!!! Of course in the meeting the give award for every 5lbs lost and other milestones.. She forgot to mention my 5lbs last week so she did that at the beginning of the meeting. Then at the end another 5.... I was pretty proud of myself.
I'm sitting here typing this right now and my 3 year old son wants to hang off of me.. Kids want their attention and they want it when they want it.
I went to the store to pick up a few things for dinner, we decided on spaghetti. I picked up some salad stuff and I was in the pasta aisle when a lady come over the PA.. Pizza 2 slices for $1.. that didn't excite me.. but then she followed.. Family size pizza's for $3.. and well.. who am I to turn down such an amazing price.. so I got 2 .. 1 sausage and 1 veggie. I'm still struggling with this illness so I only ate one slice because I made a big salad first.. I was soo full.. I FINALLY GOT MY PIZZA! I was happy that I was able to eat one slice and feel satisfied. I plugged everything in to my tracker and I have 24 points left for the day.. I might have strawberries for dessert!

Day 55... ok.. I'm sick :(
I woke up this morning feeling really crummy.. I've been taking Zicam so I think it's taken a lot of the edge off of it... but I can still feel the crummy :(
For breakfast I had coffee with creamer and a banana. The mushy feeling and the hot liquid felt good for my throat.
Lunch I had some minestrone soup and 2 crackers.. not a huge appetite today.
I did snack on a cupcake.. but it didn't taste all that great.
Dinner we had rotisserie chicken with cheddar broccoli noodles and green beans. I only had 2 pieces of chicken.. it's usually like 3 or 4.
I did have some candy for dessert but I counted it.. 4 points.

Day 54.. Monday .. I'm starting to feel a little ill
I have to talk about my morning. So anyone who knows me knows I love me some coupons.. If I don't have to pay full price then I'm excited! I bought a Chick-fil-a calendar and each month there's a coupon. I had a coupon that expired on the last day of February for a yogurt parfait and a bottled water. I felt that would be a great start to my day... so I pull up.. I order my free items and they offered me a free spicy chicken biscuit. Who am I to turn down something free.. I pulled up to the window and didn't give them a dollar... I got to work and I checked the nutrition information for the parfait and the biscuit.. The parfait was 8 points and the biscuit was 12... sigh.. I can't eat both. I gave the biscuit to my preggo friend, her baby boy enjoyed it :)
I forgot my lunch so I bought a salad at the cafeteria. Grilled chicken and light Italian dressing. I didn't get cheese or the bread that came with it, I also had a cup of soup.
I went to the gym to get a personalized work out with a trainer at the gym... I feel like I will make great progress now that I know how to used these weight machines properly.. I'm excited!
For snack I had a WW sweet and salty bar. WW makes some really good snacks :)
For dinner I had 1 cup of Hamburger Helper (thanks hubby) and broccoli.
I wanted dessert so I had a banana.

Day 53.. I have a sick baby :(
I'm at home from church today, my son woke up with a fever.. so of course mommy to the rescue. I'm looking at him and he's already 3 and it seems like just yesterday he was crawling.. now he's a walking, talking, FIGHTING.. little person.. so when he's sick and he wants to cuddle I take full advantage.. I usually pay for it later with my own sick bug.
I made myself 3 eggs and 2 pieces of toast with reduced sugar jelly for breakfast. My stomach is shrinking and I don't need to eat as much.
For lunch I had 2 pieces of toast, some 94% popcorn and 1 mini cheeseburger... again not a huge appetite.
Dinner I made roast with potatoes, carrots and onions. I made broccoli as a side and serving cracked wheat rolls. Dinner was GREAT... and no I'm not biased.. if it wasn't good I'll say so. To top off my good behavior I had a cupcake.. I really need to put my foot down and not let any more of these in to my house!
