If you read that...at least you can't say I didn't warn you! So yeah, last week was ugly. But I didn't go overboard, really...there just wasn't much in the way of healthy food.

The good news is that I lost 3.2 pounds this week! I don't quite know how I did that, since I skipped working out 3 days last week, but I did and I'll take it. Total weight loss is currently 15.2 pounds - thrilled! These first few weeks when the weight comes off very quickly are always exciting...I just have to learn to maintain my pace when it slows down, because it will.

I'm home now and ready to get back on track. I cleaned out my fridge and went grocery shopping yesterday, so I'm looking forward to doing some cooking this week. I have the ingredients to possibly create 3 new recipes this week. Tonight I'll be trying a deep dish pizza casserole that I've been looking forward to for 2 weeks now. Other recipes to try this week are Slow-Cooker Salsa Chicken over brown rice and then an unnamed BBQ chicken recipe that looks pretty simple.

This week:
1) keep going for 64oz of water a day
2) three new recipes
3) increase workout
4) no eating past 9pm (got a bit lax with that this week)

No need to get complicated. Here's to another good week!

Um. Excuse me. Since when did you do shots? Because everytime we hang out, you're like, "Noooo.. I don't DOOOO shots!" Is this because we're not really friends?

of all the things you could have chosen to comment on from this god-forsakenly long post, i love that you chose the 3 shots. THAT'S why we're friends.

i don't (can't, really, unless me throwing up all over your counter is secretly something you want) do shots of straight hard liquor, which is the only thing you ever want to take shots of. so maybe if you make me some beej shots, i'll be all over it.

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...
