This morning i did my usual routine but i wanted to share a little bit of the conversion that took place this morning with you all. I hate you, why do you do me this way, why cant you just do what  ask and not make things so difficult on the both of us. I think its time you start doing right out your out of here. i hate you i don’t ever want to talk to you again. Now you are wondering who in the heck is she talking to. Well this was the conversion i had with the scale this morning, that’s right Tina is losing it i was actually talking to the scale. We started out with a pep talk but that did not help since i was up today. I really thought i would be down or at-least the same but i was up. Well me and Mr scale or not on good terms right now and i told him he better straighten up or we would be done for good.

Now that i am to my scenes and i have snapped back to reality i started thinking why do we let the scale predict how or days will go. I know i read something like this not long ago on someone’s site (i apologize i don’t remember) but why. Why do we let weight become such a big deal in our lives why cant we just be happy with who we  are without wanting to change ourselves? I have found that i have told myself often that if i could just lose the weight and be skinny that things would just fall in to place and work out for the better but the reality of all of this is that everything will be the same just i will be smaller and lighter in size. Why do we women think like this??? the bf say’s that women always want more that they are never satisfied with what they have and yes i feel like i have a urge to want more then what i have, whats wrong with bettering yourself? Alright sorry i have been MIA the past couple of days but there has been so much going on. Oh and guess what a friend of mine has decided to start WW with me yea…. It just makes it more fun to have someone doing it with you and it motivates me more to eat right and to lose. Well i have been playing around with my eating to see how my body reacts to certain foods i have noticed that if i eat something with lots of fiber in it for breakfast that it will actually hold me over till lunch but if i don’t by 10:00 i am having to eat a snack and then by lunch i am starving to death. Well i will end this here hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I heart you all…

Yesteday on my journey through publix for a new breakfast food to eat i found thisSpecial K with red berries cereal- ok ok i know this is not new but i tried it for the first time this morning. I was really suprised at how good it was i thought that it would suck but really i was wrong it was good. I have seen it on tv before but thought the red berries to be like raspberries and such but it is actually strawberries (just wanted to clear that up for you all) I have been eating the special k ceral bars and i thought i would give this a shot for something with alittle different taste and i have to say i really enjoyed it. Ok here is the run down on it. Has anyone ever tried that Curves Cereal? I applied to get a free sample of it but didet want to purchase a whole box and it not be good at all.

I have never in my life been ready for the weekend to be over with. For some reason i just killed my points and used up all of my “activity” points. I had the bf’s birthday and that means cake(ugh) It would be fine with me if i never looked at another cake again in my life. So i will give you alittle run down on the weekend activities. Friday we ate out with a group of friends who was taking the bf out for his bday. Well we sit down to look at the menu and there is nothing that was even any where close to my points range. Not even any light salad dressings or salads at all. (oh this is going to be a long night) Well i end up eating a grilled chicken sandwhich with french fries. It was good but i knew that the Saturday my butt would be up an running to work it off. Well Saturday was not bad stayed in the pts. Sunday i just could not feel up for some reason, there was something that my body wanted but i could not figure out for the life of me what it was so i ate and ate and ate until i was tired of feeding my self.  So this morning i am feeling the effects of my eating spell, But i just said well i already did it now lets just move on. So here the day goes.

Told you it was bad. But today is a new day and i am just putting the bad behind me and starting over.

Last night was so much fun with my nephew. He is two and just a bunch of fun and a hand full. You never know whats going to happen when he’s around. We walked to the play ground and boy was that a hoot. Then he  said ” aunt tina carry me and run” oh so i am feeling the effect of that yes in deed. I dont know how you mothers do it, man i am just pooped today after spending just a couple of hours with him. There must be something implanted into you gals with children right after delivering your child because i sure dont have it. I wanted to share alittle chocolate comic with you all to start your day off with a laugh, and remenber you have to think thin to be thin.

Chocolate Tips & Facts

If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you’re eating it too slowly.

Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

Problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car. Solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It’ll take the edge off your appetite and you’ll eat less.

A nice box of chocolates provides your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn’t that handy?

If you can’t eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. *But if you can’t eat all your chocolate, it may be a sign of a deeper problem.

If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge.  Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

Equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is a balanced diet.

Two phrases: Money talks. Chocolate sings.

The preservatives in chocolate make you look younger.

Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?  A. Because no one wants to quit.

If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose.  An entire garment industry would be devastated.

Put “eat chocolate” at the top of your list of things to do today.  That way, at least you’ll get one thing done.

Ok so thats what i have for the day. Ok i know i know the oreo’s but i just could not help it the nephew was feeding me (ugh) and it was just too funny. He would eat a bit then me then him then me. I am trying to start charting more and more of what  i eat, although i do chart in my head and do my points that way but i think i need to do more of sharing. Dont have a whole lot to say today but then time is very short so i will have to fill in tomorrow morning on everything. I plan on have me a good walk tonight after work and i am very excited about that.

I know i know i have already posted today but i just had to tell you all about this wonderful sent from heaven snack i just had. Hershey’s 100 calorie wafer Bar oh this thing reminds me of a kit kat they also have the chocolate covered pretzeles but have not tried them yet. Perfect for that ” i need chocolate day”

Last night the bf and i ate at Applebee’s for supper to celebrate our two year anniversary. I had the WW steak and shrimp with teriyaki sauce. OMG it was so good. I highly recommend if you have a Applebee’s any where near you go try the WW foods they have on there menu what i ate was only 7 pts and it was so good. I think all restaurants should jump on this trend and start putting WW friendly meals on there menu. This is my new fav restaurant.

The bf and i had a really good weekend at the comedy club we saw this comedian named Heath Hyche ( google him) he was so funny and we had a really good time. Now this week is the bf birthday and i like to make a big deal of birthdays so i have alittle something up my sleeve and no there will be no cake, i have already told him that but i am going to make him some of roni brownie’s and if anyone else had a good recipe for a cake or pie of some kind, something good for a birthday i would love to use it if you dont mind. Well hope you all had a good week. Now for my menu..

Lunch - WW Smart One’s 4 pts

Salad with FF ceasar Italian - 2 pt

Supper @ Applebee’s - 7pts

First off i hope you all have a wonderful weekend. No i didnt have anything unexpected happen to me today (thank goodness). Lastnight i cooked (yea) the bf was very excited about that. What did i cook you ask? Well i made a WW friendly chicken pot pie. Oh it was so good and just full of veggies. I’ll post the recipe later i forget to grab it when i came to post. Tonight is date night for me and the bf, so thats so exciting we are going to the comedy club, maby i will laugh some calories away. I went shopping today about bought this very cute casual black skirt that tie’s in the front so i plan on wearing it tonight. Most of my clothes are big on me now so i thought it would be nice for the bf to see me in something that actually fits and its a plus because its a skirt and i have great legs. Thats one part of the body i will tell that is great and would do nothing to change it. I always thought i was shaped wierd. I have very athletic legs (you can tell i walk) and i think they are pretty, i dont have a big butt or big hips, but the belly now is where i tend to gain my weight. I have pretty much come accustom to way to hide it. I have a few little tricks to cover it. I always wear a belt, i buy my pants loose in the waste but fitted everywhere else, i like pants that have alittle streach to them, wear shoes with a little height to them to make me look taller and slimmer, if my pants are dark i wear a light color shirt or opposite, the big belts you wear on top of your clothes does wonder to hide a belly, dont wear empire waist shirts unless the waist is at least three fingers wide, oh i have so many to name.  Anybody else have any tricks they use to hide that certain part of there body??? I have a whole lot of things to do this weekend. Got to get a baby gift, the bf’s bday gift, another bday gift,  and i am going to walmart on a hunt for new things to try. So i will feel you all in on the update come monday. Have a good weekend all. Oh and i am trying a step class this weekend. Wish me luck im gonna need it.

First off Steph i feel your pain..

I have been having some problems going to the bathroom the past couple of days, yea its been like three days since i have pooped, i always get like that at TOM. I started off really good yesterday in my skinny jeans but as the day went on i started thinking about it and then you know that’s trouble and by 5:00 i am feeling really ugh like eventually something has to explode. OK so i have done everything possible to get me to go drank water like crazy, eat lots of fiber( i mean lots), and so on I really didnt want to go the laxative route but it was a last option. So Yesterday me and my trustee walking buddy (my mom) decided we were going to up the Annie and instead of walking two miles like usual we were going to try for four miles. At this point i would like to thank god that the bf did not go on this trip. Well about three miles from home the urge hits me and i have to go, i mean then right now i don’t care if its a ditch or the side of the road i have to go, forget wiping i will do that later just get this evil devil out of my tail end. Ok of  coarse we were three miles from home and no where in site to go potty. So i decided that the best option is either i go in the woods or poop my pants. Well that really wasnt a hard decision especially since i knew the bf would be at home by the time i got back and that would have been hard to explain if i pooped my pants so i head for the woods. I was like a dog running in circles looking for no poison ivy shit i don’t need that on my @ss, and no snakes, oh that would be embarrassing. So i find my spot and let the freedom from this evil world begin oh the relief. Then i actually start thinking ok now i am going to have to suck up the rest of the walk back with shit on me because there is not toilet paper hell i just went in the woods. Lord what if someone saw me out here pooping in the woods, my butt may end up on utube. Then my mother has the bright idea of using my undies and just leaving them in the woods, oh quick look to see which one’s i had on and BINGO they weren’t the fav pair so out there somewhere is my pretty little purple panties with shit covered all over them. Hey it worked thought and today im back to the relief of not being full of shit. Oh and if you find my panties in the woods and you actually pick them up you can keep them dont worry about returning them. Next time i think i will just stick to the laxative and stay at home.

First off i just want to thank you all for your wonderful comments you all left me. It makes me feel so loved by all you bloggers. (tear) The feeling I had yesterday by wearing my skinny jeans was something that no words could ever descripe and then this morning to log on and see what all you wrote to me it was just the best…. Well sorry this is short i have a really good story to tell about yesteday ( i feel you steph) involving poop, excerise, and hurting pain. I know you all cant wait but i promise i will tell all. I heart you guys…

Yes i am doing the happy dance again today. Well let me start off from the beginning. This morning i was trying to find something to wear to work. Where i work the dress is usually casual jeans and a nice shirt. Well i was tired of wearing the same old stuff each week so i did a little venture into the closet(about got lost in there) well i pulled a couple pair of Capri pants that i haven’t see in about two years. Now two years ago when i wore these they were snug and i haven’t seen the old girls since. Well i thought to myself “hum i wonder if these bad boys will fit, what do i have to lose” So i slipped the first pair on and * drum roll please* THEY FIT. Actually they were lose on me. Can you believe it they fit. I was so excited, i was jumping up and down like a little school girl. I could not believe it. The thing is they looked good on me actually looked good. So i became brave and took the second pair off and THEY FIT TOO.  Then the third pair and for the record i quiet wearing these because my butt looked like duck tape stretch across it, like i was melted and pored into them, and THEY FIT. Wo0 hoo what a morning. So today i am wearing the denim pair and i look flab-ulous. my butt hasn’t looked this good in a pair of pants since ever. So now here i am strutting my stuff like i am on a cat walk batting my eyes, and working that run way.  Boy does this feel good.  One more thing some-days i don’t eat my total pts given to eat, is this a bad thing or should i make sure i eat at least my min of points?

 Breakfast - Special K 80 calories cereal bar - 1 pt

Lunch - Smart one’s - 4pts

Cup of grapes and cantaloupe

Snack - 1 string of mozzarella FF cheese - 2pts

Supper - Spaghetti - 8 pts

Water - XXXXXXXX

Exercise - Walked the neighbor hood pushing the nephew for 20 min.

Breakfast -  Grits no butter

Lunch - Smart One’s Chicken stirfry - 4 pts

Cup of grapes and canalope

Snack - Hostess 100 calorie cupcakes

Supper - Popeyes chicken with coleslaw and two bite of pecan pie

Water- XXXXXXX

Ok so here’s the story on the popeyes. The bf and i were eating with his grandmother and this is where she want to eat. So after some serious arguing and eye rolling with the bf i gave in. I had fried chicken strips, coleslaw and two bites of pecan pie i with stood from the biscuit (yea) It really wasent as good as i had hoped it to be. I was pissed when we left because i keep thinking ok i could i ate so much more of stuff i really want to eat for this crap. I could have ate a pool full of veggies instead of this. I really dident want to use my banked up points on that crap i was saving that for some good ole icecream. Thats what i wanted.

Alright i wanted to see if anyone else have this happen to you. Since some people (females) have found out that i am on the WW and have lost 10lbs they have been trying to test me to see if i will give in to stuff. To say the least they are not supportive at all. for example Fridays at work we eat out they know i am on WW and they choose to eat at Taco bell or like i call it taco hell. WFT ok yea i am not eating, was my response. Well they get mad ok kiss my tail end. Thats the way i feel lets compromise. Nope thats what they wanted and they would not compromise at all. So it seems like i will be eating on my own on fridays. The little devil on my shoulder was saying well you are just jelious because your tail end looks like the side of a truck..LOL But i keep my mouth shut for this time.

Yea yea for me(doing the happy dance) i just weighed myself this morning and the scale was down two pounds. I was in a little of a rut with the weight just staying the same for the past three weeks so for me to be down is a huge lift. Happy Friday to all by the way and before i forget i hope you all have a wonderful filled weekend. My morning did not start off very well, i found out that my nephew who is a dog passed away (:( so sad) they think that someone gave him antifreeze and it killed him. Ok now im on the soap box, ok so i understand that some people just dont like animals/ pets but just because you dont like them dont mean you have to kill them. In my family our pets are like part of the family, i have a jack Russell named sassy who is my child. Well this dog was my nephew. Well to say the least my brothers and his wife decided to do an autopsy on the dog to find out for sure. Ok im stepping down now off the soap box.

I have a date night tonight with the bf so i am very excited about that. I think we are going to eat at Applebee’s that way i wont break the WW plan then maby a movie or rent a movie. I have to give it to the BF he actually has been supportive of the WW thing. Last night he decided that he would go with me on my usually walk which blew me out of the water. It was really nice to be able to just talk to him and there be no tv, or radio or anything else going on. Ok now for the menu.

Breakfast - Special K cereal bar

Lunch - Subway turkey breast  with lettuce, mustard and pickles ( i know i know ) oh an oh wheat bread

Supper- Turkey burger (oh so good) with ketchup and mustard.

Snack - Quaker mini delights and a stick of FF Mozelle cheese.

Well Steph gave me a name for now that is. I am Super Fab Barbie. We are those barbie’s who have not been officially named yet but just waiting for the perfect name to come about. We are Super Fab, dressed to kill, and so hot just the touch will burn your skin. Stand back Ken the Super Fab Barbie is coming through.  Oh yea we are Super Fab Barbie.

Ok so i see alot of you have your Barbie names and i have no idea of what my barbie name I should be, any suggestions????? Man this sucks cant even come up with a dang barbie name.

Well i hope you all have a had good first half of a week. I’ve done really good with my WW stuff. I dont weigh till friday so im hoping for a loss (cross your fingers tina). I bought these Hostess 100 Calories Chocolate Cream filled cupcakes, and they are so cute there is three little cup cakes in a pack. I havent tryed them yet but i will let you all know how they are. I know they come in carrot cake and yellow cake which is all cream filled. I tryed this new dip last night that i made ww friendly so i will post the recipe later. Oh by the way how in the world do you guys get the new tabs at the top of  you pages, beside the about me section?? Alright i will get to what i have eaten so far today.

Well until tomorrow. Happy Wednesday

Happy Monday all… Well i had an very exciting weekend but did not eat too well. Yes i tried i really tried but the plus side is i did a whole lot of exercising. Well first we had 2 funerals and one birthday party this weekend and I’m in Alabama and its about 100 degrees outside so the two funerals gave me a whole lot of sweating(if this counts) I mean why have an hour funeral OUTSIDE when its freaking hot. So think sweating for an hour times 2. Then the birthday party was a BBQ so that lead to alittle bad eating. I mean i really tried but the bf’s family was trying to load up my plate with food. Before you ask no these people are all very skinny people so i was like ok why load up my plate when you don’t even eat. They all know that i am doing the WW thing but it was like they were trying to break me. I man come on be a little supportive. I did stay away from the birthday cake thought. I walked about four miles and the bf has bought him a new boat and we did a little water skiing and oh boy do i have some body hurting especially in the legs i didnt know could hurt. What a workout that was. Well i was too afraid to check out the scale this morning so i skipped today. I did try something new this weekend that i had ready about on someone else’s blog. it was a WW friendly pizza. i used wheat flat wraps and cooked it a little to be a little crispy before i put everything else on it then i put tomato sauce on it, some FF cheese and some turkey pepperoni on it. It turned out to be really good. Also, i have tryed some grilled chicken strips on it, a little bell pepper, some onions and FF cheese. Oh so good. I’ll have to pull a Roni and start taking pics.

NEW FIND ALERT

another new find that i have found was these Quaker Mini Delights in the Chocolatey Drizzle. They are only 90 calories and they are really good. You get alot more in the bag then i ever expected and they took away that chocolate crave i was wanting. 

Something else i found this weekend was these Quaker Ranch flavored Rice Cakes. They were not indivually wrapped but you can have 12 (i think) in the serving size. Not sure on the calories right off hand but i will check and let you all know, but i know they are WW friendly.

Well i hope you all have a WONDERFUL MONDAY…

Finally its friday yea yea yea….. Well i have a quick question i wanted to run by all of you bloggers. I love mexican food especially at this certain restuarent. well the proublem is i havent been able to find anything that was not blowing my point that i can eat. So if any of you have any suggestions please leave me a comment or shoot me an email i would love to hear them. Well so far i will give you a run down on my week. I really tryed to turn it up a notch this week with my eating and walking/running. well so far i have really loved all the waking i’ve been doing it almost like a stress reliever and a meditation moment at that, its just so quiet in the mornings where i live so you can almost just relax and walk if thats a such thing. I did really good on my eating today to (pat on the back) just making really healthy choices. I really am enjoying this weight watchers thing (if thats such a thing) Its just that in the past couple of weeks i have been stuck at the same weight just maintaing the loss and thats it. I guess its better to maintain then to gain but its almost like just eating on potatoe chip out of the bag its just hard to do and with the losing of the weight after you get alittle taste of it then you wont more and more and more. I guess its like my BF always says women are never satified. So are we ever satified with what we have or do we crave for more?
