Weigh In 6/25/11 and Damn Elves

Nothing gained but nothing lost either. :( ok maybe there was but i don't remember what the number was after the point was. I really need to get back on track. somewhere along the way I have become too comfortable. Today though i fell off the wagon.

THOSE DAMN ELVES and their cookies.

I tried to stick to a serving. i tried so hard but then 3 cookies became 4 and 4 became 6 and so on. Finally I just said "here kids eat them" just to keep them out of my mouth. so now i have to either have a light lunch or a light dinner. It is 10:30 and i have 14points left for the day. I do have 8 activity points in case I need it and after dh leaves for work i think i will pop on the elliptical. I don't know why i bought those cookies in the first place. i have no control when it comes to elfin cookies. NONE AT ALL. Another thing i went off the wagon with this week was licorice. yep have to stay away from that. And those mini chocolate bars. i thought i was doing ok but i guess one day i had like 3-4 of them and at 2pts each that adds up. But in my defense I had a visit from my monthly witch and you all know how that goes.

It is a new week. I got meat for Sandwiches, i have my OG dressing for my salads. all will be right again.

Yeah it is that time we all DREAD

THE CLASS REUNION

This year is my 20th reunion. i didn't make it to any others but i am kicking around the idea of going to this one. But this also makes me want to kick the weight loss in high gear. I know WW says try not to look more than 2lbs a week. But our reunion is in Aug and while i am considerably lighter than Jan. I am still not where i would like. I know, I know we all gain weight after school and there are some of us that are graced with good genes where we gain very little. and then there are some of us (ach hum) who are not only vertically challenged but gained alot of weight and as we all know on short people weight makes us look alot heavier than we are. So dependant on how much I can loose in the next 9 weeks is dependant on whether or not I will be going to this reunion. there is no way i will be at the 180 I would like to be. but if i could hit 200 that would be ok. But then I have to think about money. Oh crap, i just thought of something. i don't know if my dh will agree to me going out of town 2 weeekends in a row. i have a thing at then end of July too. (which reminds me i need to start pricing cloths to have a garage sale to earn money for that)

I been reading Facebook (amazing thing FB) and we have a reunion page and it just brings back alot of memories. My husband wont understand as he hated school but i enjoy school. Now that i think about it. Yeah at the time i couldn't wait to get out of there but now i miss it. We had fun. i wasn't popular but i wasn't a loner either. I had friends in ever clique and yeah i had fun.

On another note, my hubby got me a new camera and i am going to see if i can get a picture of me up. i wish i did a before picture but now i guess i can. maybe i can find a picture of me that my kids took without me knowing. but first i need to find my house. been doing alot of furniture moving and yard work today. I am not sure how many points I earned in Activity but yeah is should be over 10

Weigh In Day 6-18-11

Well I am down 1 pound from last week. almost to where i thought i was a few weeks ago before my scale died. i like what the old scale told me. I also like what my jeans told me yesterday. i have a pair of jeans that i got at a garage sale. that was before i got the pair from walmart. these i wore only when i went out but i didn't care for them cuz they were soo snug. even though they had some spandex in the jeans they just felt snug and were of a heavier denim. I even went so far as to put a rubber hair band on the button so that i can give me some extra give in the waist as it just was sooo snug. So we were going out yesterday and my other jeans were in the wash so i grabbed these. I was scared too. but when i put them on OMG. now they are too loose. I literally have about 3 inches in the waist and i had to pull them up from time to time. the butt area was baggy also. i went from needing extra give to needing a belt. I am still not going to buy new stuff till i hit 200 though. i have some bags of cloths by my mom from my broken sister and i am sure there are some smaller things in there. plus it is summer and my capri's are good but i think come fall i might need some new jeans.

Today (it really is the 19th) I am moving furniture around. i wonder how many points i get for doing that. it has house work but yeah this is beyond housework. Flipping 2 couches to the opposite sides of the house, shampooing the rugs (the shampooer is heavy) moving chairs and furniture around.

When is my eyes going to see what other's see

Alot of people keep telling me I am looking good and see the weight i have lost. but i don't see it. I think once i loose that fat blob that sits just below my knee then i will start to rejoice a little. I know my cloths are feeling looser and I need to seriously sit down and shorten a few of my pants cuz they are way Long on me due to loosing weight. i really don't want to go out and buy new just yet. when i hit my first goal maybe i will get some new pants. and right now it is summer so my capri's are good for a bit (course that is if it will warm up to capri weather. today is wet and gloomy and i put pants on but the bottoms got wet so i did a very 80's thing. i folded and rolled the bottoms (Come on girls you remember that, acid washed jeans folded and rolled with cardigan sweaters with collared shirt under and big hair)

this week i am going to try and hit waterfitness 4x. I am glad Emily isn't teaching on Friday. i never liked her teaching style. i don't know who Heidi is. but i will find out. tomorrow Mia isn't going to be teaching. The teacher we had today is teaching. she does things quick short jumping jacks that are killer on the lower legs. maybe that will help that fat blob i have.

On another WW blog i follow she asks what are some of my tool i can't live without

1. My WW calculator and WW scan points apps on my phone. I love the scan app becuz i can scan the bar codes and it will tell me the points. sometimes it don't come up so i have to go to the old calculator. i like that it is on my phone so i don't have to have to gadgets

2. WW online app for the phone. this way i can enter my food in where ever i maybe. it has resturants on there and i can look things up. sure there is some bumps that need to be ironned out on their end but i do love it

3. Metal dip cups. they are 1/4 cup so it is easy to measure things out and if you fill it half way that is 2tbsp of dressing.

4. food scale (though i need a WW one) i like it to measure out meat and know how much i eat. i don't use it ALL the time but it is great to have on hand

5. my scale. well when you are trying to loose weight you need to keep track on your loss and gains and if you gain go back and see where you F'd up.

6. Family and Friends. if it wasn't for them i probably would have fell off the wagon and even though some have stopped WW they are still there for encouragement and i hope that as they see me get smaller they may come back. even if they don't join WW they can see follow the plan that they learned when they were on there

Weigh In Day 6-11-11

Well it is weigh in day again. despite my new scale adding 6# on to my weight meaning that i was a fatter pig to begin with or that some where between Jan and now that it started to lie to us. i don't know but i will continue to weigh myself but not enter it into the WW site until i reach the weight that is in there. it is going to mess up the number. that being said. I lost 3# this week. YEAH probably more like 2# though i dont remember what the 0.? number was but since this week it said .9. I am thinking it really is 2lbs.

I thought for sure i would have plateau'd as i ate for crap yesterday. well actually the day was fine it was dinner that i screwed everything up by eating all you can eat beer battered walleye and then a piece of cheese cake. but i did workout twice yesterday so that is something right.

Tonite for dinner is walleye (not sure if i am going to do pan fried or broiled. hmm
with steamed broccoli and some sort of side.

I also need to get some more fiber bars as i am out and find myself wanting to eat things i shouldn't

today was going so great

and against my better judgement i got the all you can eat walley. problem with this is it is deep fried with beer batter. i think the broiled or even pan fried would have been better. i blame my hubby for not pushing me in the other direction. on top of that he got deep fried cheese curds. ugh... then when i got home i figured i F'd up my day might as well F it up more and had a piece of cheese cake. i used up all my weight loss points and some of the weekly cushion points. not a good thing to do the day before weigh in. damn damn damn. tomorrow is a new day but the sad thing is i am out of shredded light cheese for my salads :( well i am going to go upstairs and do the elliptical once more. at least it will burn off that cheesecake.
