Weigh In after week one

dnbarton — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:21:11 +0000

Last week’s weight: 153.4
Today’s scale reading: 152.8
down .6
I’ll take it (:

Not quite sure about the new community… it’s going to take some getting used to…
does anyone here know how you can invite friends if you dont’ know their email address??
I have all these people here on my blog, whose blogs I read… and I don’t know how to find them on the new community…

Leaving…

dnbarton — Fri, 02 May 2008 03:28:30 +0000

bright and early tomorrow morning… off to our ladies’ family getaway/retreat/time/break! (: I won’t be posting till Sunday or Monday but here’s the plan:

1) Oatmeal for breakfast (that’s all I’m packing, should be tough to stick to!)

2) Smart Ones for lunch (frozen WW meals)

3) community dinner. Our night is burrito enchiladas. Not too bad on the calorie side if I can make a couple w/ easy cheese.

4) snacks: popcorn & sf puddings

I’ll let you know how I do. I weigh in on Tuesday so that should be strong motivation! (: DD’s on the mend (I pray!) and it looks to be a fun (relaxing??) weekend!

Sicky & momma… day 2

dnbarton — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:54:44 +0000

Well DD’s still sick… I’m sure most of you out there know what that does to your day: not much accomplished. She follows me around and whines till I pick her up. Even when I get her to go off and play it doesn’t last more than 2 minutes! She has napped quite a bit today so that’s good… and she is soo snuggly! And for me that part is fun… because she’s not a cuddler at all… I do love that part of sickness… what a little lover. But I’m so glad that she’s down for the night! As for my eating.. it’s slowly adjusting. I haven’t quite cut out all the sweets (as you can see from yesterday and today…) but I’m working on it… and I’m working more fruits & veggies and water into each day!

Today is day one of Allison and my bet. It’s going to take an adjustment to my eating habits that I have allowed to slip.. but it’s a much needed adjustment! I knew I’d prob weigh in high today, and I’m simply excited to see that number start dropping again. This morning the scale read 153.2 - about 4 lbs up from my lowest weight thus far, and about 1 up from last week.

Monday & Sunday update

dnbarton — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:21:39 +0000

FIRST OF ALL… If you didnt’ see my scrapbook pages below (3 posts down) then please take a glance (: I am so proud of them and I hate posting new posts that push that post further down the page.

Sunday update… ate w/ in my calories, almost no fruits or veggies. ): got all my water in, skipped the gym.

Today is just bad all around. If I stop eating now, I might come out ok. ): I just chose to eat a sausage mc muffin at McD’s where my parents met me for breakfast… BAD CHOICE. I don’t know the points value and I don’t want to know. Tomorrow Allison and I weigh in and our “bet” begins… so this was my last day that I can eat bad. NO MORE!

ok. movin’ on… (:

I’m really proud of myself today. I got back on track of writing down everythign and i even spent part of my day hungry, because i knew I had quite a few points coming at dinner w/ my BIL and SIL. Strawberry Shortcake was strawberries sweetened w/ splenda and ff cool whip, and angel food cake. Not too bad in the calorie dept. and I ate a TON of strawberries. The bbq chicken was super low too. The mashed pot. killed me. They’re my favorite!

Anyway, Overall I had a great day and I’m ready to start again tomorrow!

Weigh In (ha ha ha ha)

dnbarton — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:42:03 +0000

Yep. That’s what I thought as I stepped on our new Weight Watchers scale this morning. 138.4! Could it be??? I lost 10 lbs this week! actually 14! Woo hoo!!

ha.

Obviously there’s something wrong w/ our scale. I called DH. He doesn’t have the receipt or even the box. I’m wondering if it could be off because we’ve had it in our van and traveling back and forth between our house the the house we’re housesitting at??!?! Maybe there’s a way to reset it?? IDK. Anyone know??

If not then I’m going to go to Fred Myers and just see what they can do. Maybe they would trade it for the same one and I could give them the box. Of course if it has the same problem then what??? SO DUMB. It is a $32 scale. I’d expect this on a $15.00 one, and maybe $20…. but not for what we paid. [sigh]

Needless to say… I am back to tracking points and posting them on my blog. I have been WAY too lax w/ that… and look where it got me (: a 10 lb loss! tee hee!
