New week. New stuff

I did well with the core plan. I lost 2.4 lbs this week. Brings my total up to 8.8 I hope to get some exercise in this week and make it to 10 lbs for next week. I have switched my day to get weighed in on Thursdays and I'll stay for the meeting as well. They say it easier to take and keep the weight off when you go to meetings.

Beware of the Ice

That is my new motto. I went to get groceries yesterday and had a heck of a time getting the cart to the car because of all the ice in the parking lot. We had a nice warm day on Tues so there was some melting and where ever there were puddles froze overnight and made crusty patches which are murder to push a cart through. I found it a little easier to pull the cart rather than push and was almost to my car when I slipped I tried with my left foot and hand to stop myself but landed pretty well on my tailbone. and slid under the cart as far as one could go I am pretty sore and my right shin has a sore because that is what stopped me from sliding under the damn cart. I was sore all over last night but a nice warm bed and good night sleep and I'm not too bad off today. A bit of a headache and some pain when areas get touched( hips for some reason and neck right knee and left shin.) I do not see any bruises and am surprised as I landed hard and it hurt real bad. I don't know how long it takes for bruises to show but I presumed before now oh well.

I got weighed in yesterday before getting groceries and lost.4 lbs. This week I am trying the core program and it seems to be going well so far. I am hoping to get some exercise going but will not be walking on the skating rinks that the town call sidewalks.

I tried a recipe that I saw on The Biggest Loser" It was sauteed veggies and chicken with marinara sauce I served it on spagetti squash and it was a big hit even the boy ate more than one bite ( he had two of the summer squash, two of the chicken pieces and three or four bites of the spaggetti squash.) This is one recipe that I will make again but not too often as I dont' want them to get tired of it lol. Anyhow I was pleased that they all liked it anyway.

Sunday roundup

Slow going on the weight loss another low week this week. .08 lbs it puts me at 6 lbs total so its not so bad. They say that if you lose the weight slow it will stay off better so I'm sure to keep it off it I ever get it all off lol. I had to lose almost 30 total so at this rate i'll be down to goal at christmas lol. I am hoping that I can get into exercising at least two or three times a week I don't like to exercise so its a struggle. I do have a hip hop dvd and if its appropriate for the kids then i'll do it with the girls as they love hiphop. I hope to check it out tomorrow after coffee with the girls.

Dh and I went out last night for our valentines/anniversary dinner at an italian resteraunt it was really good we shared seafood appetizer and salad and I had seafood fetuchini and he had chicken rotini with prochutto everything was very good. Then we got desert we had wanted a chocolat trio but they were out so dh got biscotti and I got tiramisu neither one was that great but might have been had we not had our hearts set on the chocolate ones. We will definetly go there again.

Happy Birthday

To Dh. He asked for chinese food so I bought eggrolls and made chicken fried rice, chicken balls, egg foo yong, wonton soup( first time making this) and for a surprise fortune cookies(first time with these also). Supper was great but I'll be finding new recipes for the two new ones as they didn't turn out as I had hoped they were good but I feel could be tastier so I'll look.

I haven't sat down and figured the points for this meal yet I did well with amounts that i took and didn't use any sauce for the chicken balls and did not have egg rolls( I know they are about 4 or5 points and I usually have two so I stayed away from them all together).

I did well with water again today but didn't get exercise in I find it hard with the volunteer stuff this week so hopefully I'll get into the swing of it next week.

weighin results

woo hoo I lost .6 lbs again. Well at least I didn't gain.

Wednesday post

I haven't been doing well with eating the last couple of days dh has been away and for some reason I've been in amunching mood so needless to say I went over points yesterday and Monday yesterday was just 4 points but Monday was 7 or8 I am disappointed in myself and have been trying to drink more water and walk more to help even it out.

Normally I get weighed in on Wed morning but DS had appointments and wasn't in school at all( they have half days on Wed here) so I couldn't get weighed in I will go tonight after he gets tucked into bed. I am not sure how that will affect the scales but I know at home there is a difference of anywhere from 2-4 lbs. So it should be interesting. Hopefully I'll post the results tonight if not then first thing in the morning( as soon as I remember lol welcome to my world).

Movie night

We went to the movie last night and I was able to set aside enough points for popcorn with butter and of course we get there and the machines are out of butter so I had extra points left I'll use them one day this week for a treat.

I tried on a pair of pants that I bought a while ago with the low rise and they fit me well enough to wear. I still need to tone up the tummy muscles but for now a loose shirt covers it nicely lol. I had planned on trying on my shorts as well (I bought these just before I got pregnant with the youngest) but once I got the pant on I decided I didn't want to jinx it so I'll do that next week lol.

Still doing fair with the water some days better than others. Doing well on lunches getting the points to a reasonable count so I can have a snack in the evening. I am weighing a lot of my food to make sure I get the proper amount and I found out that I'm not using as much cheese for bagels and too much for grilled cheese so I have to be more careful about that in the future.

Friday update.

Did well with eating today. Didn't do as well with the water though only two glasses( I only count the ones I drink from my bottles not the ones I have at supper or during the day when I get them from the filter container when I get the kids some although today I only had one glass at supper so total for today is only three ).

Didn't get out for a walk or exercise today but I did get a nap lol I needed a fillup of sleep for some reason. I hope to get some oranizing of the youngest toys tomorrow I wonder if that will count as exercising...I am thinking of weight lifting lol.
