 Happy Friday to you all…. Well i had my WI this morning and i was STILL the same which was a huge disappointment i really thought that i lost because i really beefed up the working out and really watched what i ate so i was very disappointed when i saw i had stayed the same. So i felt like damn you smart one’s food that i have eaten way to many of i want some real food, now this could have been a tragic moment because all i really wanted was to stuff my face with McDonald’s french fries and i was actually sitting in the drive Thur fixing to order when i just could not let myself do it to myself so i got the southwest salad and i defeated the fat kid inside of me who was telling me “just eat your worries away with the french fries”. Well the salad was really good especially for 5 points and i really did not even use the dressing that came with it. I was very proud of myself. I am excited thought the bf is taking me out to eat tonight with some of our friends to this New Orlands type Blues club (which i have never been to) and i did a little shopping for some new clothes because mine are too big at my fav store New York & Co. and bought the cutest top so i am going to be strutting my stuff tonight. Well again i hope you all have a wonderful weekend…

Ok there is these new lays potatoe chips that are made with Olean cooking oil and they are only 1 point. I love them they taste just like the good fat kind but i was doing some google on olean cooking oil and all i found was good comments not the bad. So my question to you all is do any of you know anything about Olean Cooking oil and is this good for you? You know why make food that is not good for you, it would be so much easier if everything was healthy…

Today was a good day i was still at maintain from last week, i have gotten where i will have this loss and then maintain for three weeks and then a loss and repeat so what gives. I have been eating my food limit and excerising at least three times a week doing lots of walking and really watching what i eat so whats the deal. Its just taking sooooooo long for the weight to fall off and i am getting alittle impatient with it. Also i am stressing about some issues with me and the bf and about doing some planning on when we are going to get married because i really want to buy myself a new car but i dont want to put myself in a financial bind with purchasing a new car and then we decided we are going to get married so we are going to do some serious talking this one out. Ok i am just stressing now. Thats one thing i love about walking is that it just relieves stress so good i really dont know what i am going to do come the winter. I have been thinking of joining the YMCA here in town and doing actually working out but i did not want to make the commitment and then decided thats not what i wanted to do. Got any suggestions on the YMCA and how they operate?

Wow how the week has flown by, i just wanted to do a quick update with everything since its been since monday that i have posted. Well i have been walking like crazy and really watching what i eat after saturday seeing the numbers go below 170 i am just addicted to seeing it again especially since the 160’s was just a short little stay and i really want to see it again and soon. Today i gave my self a little treat since the boss was buying lunch so i ate a salad with chicken from the steak house in town and boy was it the best especially since i have been eating smart one’s for lunch here for the past two months. I really have grown to love those smart ones’s especially since i am not a big cooker. I really want to get at least to 160 by my birthday which is in january but i have decided that i am not setting myself a goal weight in the end because i want to just see how far i can go. Now i am not going to let my self get to skinny(like that would ever happen) its just that i have not been past 160 in a really really long time and i just want to test the waters.

Well i had a wonderful weekend did alot of excereising sat and sun did an hour walk but i did eat my ap points this weekend which was fine with me. Saturday morning i did see that i had lost three pounds putting me at 167 but then i was up sunday but just me seeing that 167 was enough motivation for me to get my butt in gear and really jump on the wagon. It has been along time since i have seen the 160’s so i was pretty excited about seeing them. I just feel like i need to break a couple of eating routines which is hard. I have also been having a hard time telling when i am full or not and actually dont feel full until about 10 minutes after i eat which makes me wonder well am i eating to fast or does it just take me longer to feel full which sucks. Well food front i did use my ap but i felt is was well worth it so i will skip on posting what i ate but i will tell you that a small (really small) piece of pecan pie but it was so so so good. Well Happy Monday.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. The bf and i are going out to eat tonight so i wanted to use the least amount of points today so that i would have alittle room on the points just in case. Tomorrow we will be hitting up the collage football game and that means lots of walking invoved but thats fine with me the more the better. Too bad sport events dont serve healthy food options. It would be so much easier if they would make more resturants that offered WW items. I really like Applebee’s but after so many times you get tired of eating there. Me and a co worker was joking today that too bad there was no such thing ever invented called junk food or foot that was not healthy for you. I really like eating healthy because i know its better for my body and for me and i usually enjoy a healthy mean more then eating a un healthy meal just because i know its not good for me and the whole time eating i keep thinking of how many points is this putting me behind. Well i hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  

Breakfast - WW Blue berry muffin - 3 pts

Tonight is the bf softball game and i am going to go about 45 min early so i can walk the track. Around the track once is a mile so i am going to try and walk around it as much and as fast as i can. I figure the faster i walk the more times i can get around it before the bf plays. I dont know about you all but boy am i glad that tomorrow is friday, hopefully i can get in some good excerise over the weekend.

Today was WI and i maintained which was really good especially since i had the little splurge on sunday so i was greatful for staying the same, at least i know i dident mess up to bad. Why is it that its so easy to put the pounds on but so hard to take them off? I hate that. me and my mom who is a very small framed person was talking today and i was telling her about all my skinny clothes fitting me now and i stated to try and remenber when did i gain all this weight. Well let me rephrase myself on that one. I have always been a “big boned” person i would not say that i am fat i am just larger then i want to be and i have always been a larger person its just that i have lost then gained then lost then gained. Well back to the point right before i stated working the job that i am currently at i was small in size but i was running every day doing a couple of miles a day. When i stated this job the other two women i work with are very large women and i guess that i was trying to keep up with the jones’s. Not that working with them is any excuse to pack on the pounds but that is really when it all started. I am almost back to where i was two years ago and i only lack maby a few pounds and i will be there. I think i was about 165 when i started working here. That may sound like a lot to you all but to me thats where i was and i felt good. I still would love to get below 160 because i dont ever remenber being below that number. Lets remenber its just a number and when did it start to control my life?

Well i am trying not to stress over a number i wont to get to where i feel good about myself and the way i look. I feel like if a number is the issue then i will stress over gaining a pound and i dont wont the rest of my life to be about a number, because weight is not what my life should circle around and i will not let it i just wont to be happy with me. So i have set a new goal and it is TO MAINTAIN WHERE I AM THE HAPPIEST AND FEEL THE BEST AT THAT WEIGHT…. There it is out in the open for you all.

Ok so my main goal this week was to up the fiber that i am eating daily and i really can tell a difference. The cereal i eat in the morning has alot of fiber in it and i actually holds me until i eat lunch and before i was having to have a snack in between. I finally started taking my multi vitamin this week also but i really cant tell a difference but i will give it one more week to kick in. I am so glad it finally Friday yea yea yea. Me and the bf have big plans for the weekend. First his uncle who has been in Iraq for the past year is finally coming home so we are having a welcome home party for him which is so exciting. Then saturday we are hitting up the collage football game and doing some tail gating. (ROLL TIDE) Then some more celebrating on sunday for the uncle.  I didnt get to walk as much this weekend as i would have hoped for but i made due. My goal is three times a week and i only got in one day for 30 min so that means that sat and sun i will be doing my 1 hour walk. Well i hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

This morning i was searching for something to wear and since i have not washed clothes in forever my choices on clothes were limited. Then in the back of the closet i found them, what you may ask well this pair of blue jeans that i could squeeze into this time last year but they always made me look like i had duck tape stretched across my butt so i would always have to wear a really long and loose shirt to cover the denim duck tape on the butt and the enter tube that was hanging out the top of my pants and then i finally just said forget it and throw them into the back of the closet unti this morning and they were just calling my name (tina tina wear me today its time to breath today) so i pulled one leg up and ok we were doing good now the other and they fit and not only that but they are loose. So i Just had to report that today i have on a pair of those skinny jeans(no not the one’s that are tight around the ankles) you know the one’s that you haven’t see in like 6 years that were in the very back of the closet and they fit good (sorry i just had to repeat that last sentence because its almost too hard to believe) I feel like i should give a speech to thank all the one’s that have helped or something.

Well i just stepped on the scale and from last wednesday to today i have lost….. DRUM ROLL PLEASE…  three pounds yea for me (doing my happy dance) so that puts me at exactly 170 which would be a grand total of 15 pounds so far. Wow that great… Well i had been 173 for two weeks and saturday and sunday me and my trusty walking partner did an hour long walk and i really ate good over the weekend so i offically broke to the zero instead of the three. Also i went and did a little shopping this weekend because alot of my clothes are getting pretty big so i was down a whole dress size or two depending (you know how stupid clothing sizes are) I was buying pants in a 13 (alittle lose) and the one’s i bought this weekend were 11 and wow did the clothes really fit me great.

Ok now on to something that i just had on my mind. I know you all have atleast heard about the britney spears performance last night on the MTV music awards. Ok beside what everyone is talking about with her performance i was just so mad when i heard the news talk about how big she look and out of shaped she look. To me she look great especially after having two children (hope my abs are that flat after two) I mean come on people why is it that the “perfect” body image for a women is 5′9  100lbs or less. Who really thinks the bulimia look, looks good. I DONT i think it looks gross. Yes i would love to be 120 at least but i dont want to look sick. Well this is the one stand that i will take for this girl even thought she really does some crazy stuff.. ok sorry just had to vent that on you all

Sorry i have been mia the past couple of day on posting my food, i am going to get back in the habit of posting it. The bf’s sister had her baby yesterday so we spent my excerise time at the hospital. Here she is baby maddie hopefully the pic will show up for you all to see.

Well happy belated labor day to you all hopefully it was a good one for you. I did really good during the holiday weekend. I walked sat, sun, and mon and even did alittle running and even ate really good and made good choices. Saturday we had a collage football game here in town and it was so hot that im sure there is someway that i got a point for the sweating and a gallon at that. ( hopefully that counts) Then we had to park about a mile and a 1/2 away from the stadium so i did that walking but it was well worth it. I just love football season especially where i am from even if you not a football fan you still show your support and act like you are Yes i am from a big college football town.

Well i made some pasta salad sunday and used this pasta noodle that i just stumbled upon. Its a veggie pasta and it was so good. It was only two points and excuse me but i forget what the name of it is so i will have to get back to you all on that one.
