Happy Dance!!!!!

Morning Peeps!!
Today is weigh in Friday and although I had a less then stellar week:
I lost a pound and a half!
Now, you may  be asking yourselves what the big deal is. In the words of Fire Marshall Bill, "Lemme Tell Ya Something!"  After being at such a standstill for the last 4 months!  It feels amazing to see that number go down!!!  One could almost argue that I lost 3.5 lbs! BUT I really think when I first weighed on Friday I had some kind of water weight issue or something.  But I KNOW for sure, I lost 1 solid good pound-o-lard!  Yippee!  Do you know what this means?  I can officially make a little graph thingamajig for my blog!  Woop!!!


PS.  That sexy chick at the top?  That would be my inner self doing the happy dance!! 

Yummy!

And I'm not talking about food for once!  I've decided to give myself a new motivation!  Shoes...expensive...delicious...shoes!!  When I hit my goal of 100lbs lost, I'm going to be treating myself to something along these lines:

Aren't they scrumptious?!!  I've never owned anything designer...I like to tell myself it's because of the expense but in reality...it's my weight.  Shocking, I know!  I just thinking heavy women don't look right in heels.  It's like all that weight is balancing on those tiny little heels...not good.  There is the rare exception.  My sister is plus sized and looks amazing in heels but we are built VERY differently.  She carries all of her weight in her top half, leaving her legs to look long and thin....not so bad sitting atop a pair of gorgeous heels!  I, on the other hand, am well proportioned....meaning BIG everywhere. Ugh.   So, I very rarely wear them....and surely wouldn't drop a grande on a pair, just for them to sit in my closet!  I can't wait.  Just picture it...a much smaller, much sexier me....wearing these....and maybe even some clothes too! ;)

No news is....

BAD NEWS!  At least that's what it means on this blog!  I've been having a really hard time staying on my diet this go round.  Like, harder than normal.  Lately, it seems like even when I'm eating right, I'm hungry!  In the past with WW I've only failed b/c I gave in to a craving- NOT because my stomach was growling and no matter what healthy item I grabbed I still felt hungry!!!


Oh well, it's morning, and you know what that means.  A fresh slate!!  I'm going to try extra hard today!  I have Zumba tonight too so that is always an awesome way to feel healthy and on track!  Besides that, not much to report.  I'm going to weigh in tomorrow, even though I know it will NOT be pretty!  But I'm going to do it because if I start skipping weigh ins....thats when you know I've lost all hope! :P
I'm off to find me some Thursday thin motivation....

This is how I feel today!

Weekends are hard…

It’s so hard to stick to my diet on the weekends!  This past weekend I went to a friends bonfire where she was serving:

~celery, carrot sticks and other various veggie munchies with light ranch.

~Pizza

~s’mores

~white chili

~chips and salsa

~Mini-cupcakes

I am very proud to report I ONLY ate the veggies with a little bit of light ranch!  Go me!!!  I mean, we were there for hours!  And I was the only one who didn’t eat the naughty food! :)  I’m slightly proud. 

In full disclosure, I have to admit, I did have a few adult beverages but I even used diet pepsi as my mixer!!!  I have NEVER done that before! 

Sunday was a little harder.  I went to my parents and besides the healthy fruit and veggies they had (thank GOD!), they had these hot wings that were breaded and fried!!  Ugh.  I was S T A R V I N G.   I kept munching on the veggies and fruit but it was just not helping.  I broke down and had ONE chicken wing and took all the skin off.  So, not that bad, but I would have liked to say I didn’t eat it at all.  Then, for dinner my mom made baked ziti.  I brought my own HUGE spinach salad and ate that before I ate any ziti in an effort to not eat as much ziti.  It worked decently.  I ate less than I normally would thats for sure!  When I got home last night, after a few hours I was           ST A R V I N G again!!  I was like ‘what the hell!?!?!?’  But I couldn’t ignore it anymore.  I ate.  Nights are the hardest part of my eating life.  I am craving sugar and tired and weak!!!  I ate a lot.  Oh well, today’s a new day baby!!  I’m back on track!!  (You know how I love the mornings!!)

Peace out.

Good news/Bad news…

The good news: I just ate the most delicious chicken spinach salad made by moi!!

 

The bad news:  I could totally eat another one.         NOW!

*sigh*

Mediocre Much???

So, yesterday as a whole was so-so.  Not great, but not bad.  It started out stellar!  After I walked a mile I went to Zumba and sweated like nobody’s business!  I Luuurrrv me some Zumba!!  It is the most fun exercise God created!!  Anyway, I never eat dinner before zumba b/c it makes me sick. :/  That is a bit of a problem b/c when I get home, it’s like 9pm so I’m eating a SUPER late dinner and we all know Oprah says that’s a no no.  And also, I’m so hungry by that time that I know I eat more than I should, even if it is something low fat/healthy.  So after I ate my healthy spaghetti with lean meat sauce, I got that feeling.  That holy-mother-of-God-if-I-don’t-have-sugar-NOW-I-will-Die feeling!!!  But that’s okay because I know me.  I know it will happen and I have a few things on hand.  I ate 2 WW 2 pt ice cream choc covered bar thingys.  But my husband was out of town.  And when my husbands out of town my self control goes from 10% to –20%!  SO I went BACK to the Godforsaken kitchen.  The good news is I didn’t go crazy and grab the whole bag of candy corn like I would have last week!  I got it out and counted out 10 pieces, which is 1/2 of a serving! When it was gone I could feel myself wishing for more, so instead of going back to the kitchen, I went upstairs to bed!  So, you see it was a bit of a win! :)
