Well. I bet if you took a picture of all the food I consumed during this week, it would be very beige/orange. Which is not good for you, according to the numerous TLC documentary's I've seen on the subject of people who eat 33,000 calories a day or some shite. The good news is that I get to go grocery shopping today, so I'll finally have some healthy food again. Oh fresh chicken breasts, I've missed you so :-)

Alright, the weight update. I lost 2.4 lbs this week, which is wholly unbelievable and I don't know why that happened. This brings the total lost to 23.4 lbs. Somewhere in my math along the weeks I screwed up because the numbers don't make sense in my head from week to week, but looking at my starting number on June 23 and the number from today, I've lost 23.4 lbs. Oh how I wish I was going to lose weight this week. Just not going to happen with everything that's going on. I'll be satisfied with not gaining too much - hopefully none at all.

Gosh, I feel great right now. Yesterday I was in a mega-funk about this weight loss, and today I'm just feeling refreshed. Yes, it helps that I had a loss, but mentally I just feel better. It has been a bit of a struggle the last two weeks; I've gotten super lax about exercising (even if DDR *is* a fantastice creation) and my water intake has been poo. Not to mention just not eating good foods. But I got a haircut on Friday and it looks cute and finally my face looks like it's getting thinner. AND my hairdresser raved about how great I looked, which never fails to make me shake my head, because when I look at myself I think, "Really?? I've still got a hundred pounds to lose, lady!" She lent me some Weight Watchers cook books too, which was the sweetest thing - it's not like we're super close or anything. So I'm going to look through those for more recipe ideas. I actually think starting to cook for myself again will help me get back in the groove.

Well this is short by my standards but I have a bajillion things to do today before Ashley gets here tonight. Hope this next week is a good one!

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...
