I'm a Fine One to Talk

By Anonymous -
Ok... Katie! You can not start your diet by beating yourself up. YOU CAN DO THIS. But awesome job on planning for tomorrow. One little hint??? I assume you did consume liquids of some sort today -- those count. But water is 0 points. Alcohol will kill you.

And I'm a fine one to talk. We went to the baseball game tonight -- you know with hot dogs and stuff. But I think it was ok.

So, overall my day went something like this:
My daily allowance is 22 points.
Pilsbury cinnamon roll (YUM-O!) 7 points
Orange juice 2 points
Water 0 points
Heavy yard work -1 point
Whole grain English muffin 1 point
Fresh fruit blend 2 points
Yoplait light yogurt 2 points
2 hot dogs + 2 buns 5 points
Root beer 4 points
Ice cream (and not the lo-cal kind!) 4 points
Smirnoff Ice Rasberry I have no idea --- probably 100 points.
For a grand total of at least 26.... but probably 126.

So, tomorrow I will be good.

Ladies, the Weight Watchers muffins and cookies are delicious and pack a surprisingly yummy taste in just a few points. And if you're needing chocolate -- Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are the BOMB.

Keep it up girls. We will be sexy bitches by the end of the summer!

haha.. Kim, you are hilarious! First, I LOVE how motivating you are. And really great information in your second post about calories in/ calories out. It totally makes sense. Here's my dilemma: I love food. And I really wish I didn't have to stop eating chips, pizza, french fries, etc. I mean, I know I CAN still eat them, but it would ruin my whole day! And I'd have, like, hardly any points left over. And it was funny because I was thinking, 'Maybe I should just eat whatever I want and workout hardcore,' but then I saw your second post and agreed that it would probably make me eat more. Oh, well! I just have to try to be good -- but I can't subsist on grilled chicken and veggies forever! ;-)

Dude.... Katie. Check the flex points. It is these little pieces of heaven that can allow you to have your occasional indulgence. Just not overindulgence. And chips??? Guess what! They have Pringles 100 calorie packs and they are fantastic! I think they are actually the real deal - not diet food- and they are just marketed to retards like me who have no control over portions. So with this, you get like 10 chips in a cute little pack and you eat them and are happy, instead of eating like a jillion chips and then feeling like 43LL since you overdid it.

You need spices! Plain grilled chicken??? Blech! You need to get some cool spices or make a mango chutney to grill with it and make some like tropical deliciousness.

I Wanna Be the the Awesome After Picture!

Okay, so here is good news:  the Doritos are officially out of the house.  The Snapple is out the house.  No more of that temptation!  (And seriously, I don't even like Doritos that much.. why did I buy them??) I'm going to consider this past week a failure, but from this point forward I'm going to work really hard to make progress.  I'm really bummed about my knee because it means that, in order to lose weight, I really need to zero in on my diet since I'm kind of limited with the cardio.  I'd rather pig out and then go for a nice long run, haha!  I think I can pretty easily figure out how to make healthy breakfasts and dinners, but lunches and snacks are my weakness. Maureen, any good, healthy, low-point lunch and snack ideas?  In the past, I have snacked on oyster crackers, fruit, carrots, etc.  Sometimes, though, when I snack I'm not really looking for a fruit or veggie.  I know that's bad and I should just get used to it!  ...

Not necessarily great, but could be worse?

Okay, so as of last post I said I was W-3.  I'm still technically W-3, but a couple days ago was W-5.  This tells me that, even though there might be a pound of two of fluctuation, my weight is at least on a downward trend!  (I'm not W PLUS anything, anyway.) In terms of counting points, I've been really bad.  Okay, by "really bad," I mean I haven't counted points since my last points post.  I am, however, at least being cognizant of what I eat and am trying to make better choices.  Today, for instance, my honors Sophomores were going to be watching V for Vendetta.  One of my students asked if he could go make a bag of popcorn.  I said, "Of course!  As long as you make me one, too."  So he comes back and hands me on of the bags.  Feeling guilty and fearing undoing the small loss I have accomplished, I changed my mind and gave the bag to another student in the class.  Soooo, not a huge deal, but I saved myself probably a coupl...

Return of the Coup!

So it's been a while.  (Five years, I think?)  And I am probably W+10 from when I first started this coup.  To be fair, I've had a third child, but it's really no excuse.  When I sit down and look at things, it has nothing to do with baby weight gain --I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight within a few months.  It has everything to do with my diet and, not to make excuses, but probably a lot to do with the "busy"ness of being a working mom: feeling too guilty to take time away from my boys to go for a run, turning to frozen pizza or McDonald's to get a quick meal in between caring for the kiddos and grading / planning, and choosing to zone out on my phone rather than going for run when I find myself with even a half hour of down time. I lost all the weight I gained after having Rhys fairly quickly, but I was still almost 15 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight with Ty.  So I took a picture.  Probably 3 months after Rhys was born, I decided tha...
