2:42 pm - Victory and disapointment
|
Got back from vacation this past Monday. North Carolina, Charlotte, Atlanta, Baton Rouge, New Orleans. My diet lasted for one whole day, then I blew it off. I had bread, french fries, ribs, chocolate, pasta, and lots of wine, and it was goooooooood. I did not go to my weigh-in last week (I was too scared), but when when we got back from the trip I busted my ass on the diet and worked out every day. Today was my weigh-in and I lost 0.2lbs, which I consider a HUGE victory. My group leader was also impressed. So I'm feeling good,
I got some disappointing news in my meeting today. Apparently ice cream does not count as a dairy serving. Why the hell not? It has milk in it. And cream. Isn't that dairy? What the fuck? So I have not been getting nearly enough dairy in my diet. It's kind of hard when you hate milk. Cheese (even low fat cheese) has a lot of points. I hate milkshakes, I hate yogurt. I am going to give pudding a try. And I guess I will try putting milk on my coffee (yeccchhh!). If that doesn't work I don't know what I'll do. Why the hell doesn't ice cream count? Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and eat some pudding.

4:24 am - 20+ and counting
|
So I weighed in this morning after my 11 hour work shift.... very tired, mind you. I normally don't stay for the meetings on my work week because I'm exhausted. Today they pressured me to stay for the meeting. Why? Because I have hit the 20 pound mark, baby! 21.4lbs, to be exact. They wanted to congratulate me so I stayed. Yay!
Next week will be the big challenge. Dave & I are going on a road trip. Travelling can be very difficult for dieting, from what I've heard. Not to mention we will be going to Louisiana with all that yummy cajun & creole crap. Mmmmm... biegnets. Dave also wants to stop at some rib joint in Atlanta. I looked online at their menu. Not very promising for me. The only thing that looks fathomable is the 1/2 bbq chicken. Yes... HALF a damn chicken! I can't even have any of the sides. So I get to watch Dave devour his yummy ribs and 3/4 of my chicken. That will be fun. It's ok though... we are going to IKEA! I can't wait. I was telling people at work about my road trip. They asked, "Why are you going to Atlanta?" My reply was "Because there is an IKEA!" And everybody nodded their heads in recognition. Dave has never been there, so he just doesn't understand. I will make him a believer in cheap put-it-together-yourself cutesy particle board furniture with funny names yet!

12:08 pm - GOL!!!!!!! (As in futbol telemundo)
|
I made a huge comeback from last week... I lost that 0.4lbs I gained plus another 2lbs, which brings my grand total to 18.6lbs, which means I have reached my 10% goal! I was given the coveted bronze keychain at the meeting, as well as a thunderous round of applause. I'm feeling good. It's also time for my monthly pic update, so here I am:
I wish I could make the boobs get smaller, though. My husband does not agree.
current mood: happy

4:01 pm - Amy's getting upset!
|

At last week's meeting, our group leader told us about this wonderful way of baking a cake with diet soda that came out to 1 point per serving. So right after the meeting, I went to Publix, bouthg the ingredients, and made the cake. Delicious! That was a week ago. Today I made another cake and this time, I acutally looked up the points value on etools. 4 points per serving!!! What the hell is this group leader trying to do to us?? No wonder I have been feeling fat and lethargic all week. Between that and the belgian waffle at IHOP, I completely blew the diet this week. Tomorrow I have to weight in and I know I have gained.
current mood:  pissed off

8:13 am - Whew

I just got back from my weigh in and I lost 0.8 pounds this week! Much better than I thought. I would not have been surprised if I gained by the way I pigged out on Super Bowl Sunday.
Total weight loss now: 12.4lbs.
current mood:  tired

9:25 pm - Yuck

I have really been craving spaghetti & meatballs the last several days, so I decided to make them tonight with whole wheat spaghetti and ground chicken in the meatballs. The spaghetti was delicious. The meatballs.... not so much. Maybe I will try ground turkey next time. Anyway it was 9 points for a big portion, so at least I'm full.
I would like to add that a Sara Lee commercial just came on tv, and they are using the "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song from Ren & Stimpy. Is that really necessary? I like Sara Lee as much as the next person, but it does not make me want to do the happy dance.
current mood: tired
current music: watching "Full House" reruns

1:12 pm - My first big struggle...
|
I have been doing really well on WW for the past month. I have stayed within my points, getting in all my health checks, exercising a lot, and using hardly any of my weeklly allowance points. Then yesterday was the Super Bowl (crap, am I allowed to say that? Will the NFL come after me???). Not only that, had to go to my 3 year old nephew's birthday party in the morning. I thought I had prepared myself. I made a bunch of appetizers that I got off the WW website (creole-stuffed mushrooms, mexican style beef & cheese wontons, and chocolate chip blondies -they were all very delicious, by the way). Aaanyway, so we went to the birthday party, which was at my in-laws' house. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were sympathetic to my diet and put out some healthy low-fat munches (veggies, lo-fat pretzel thins). Of couse, they were all served with deliciously fattening creamy dips, which I could not resist. I thought a little bit wouldn't hurt me. Later on, I figured out that I had eaten 6 points worth of dip alone! Other than that, I was able to resist the BD cake, but I was so torn up over the dip issue that I was unable to congratulate myself. Then later on we went to Geo's house to watch the Supe... oh wait.. the "BIG GAME." I brought all my lo-fat appetizers, which were meant to be consumed in moderation, but of course I ate about 4 brownies and 10 wontons along with my 4 beers, etc. I got home and excruciatingly added up all my points, and it turns out I used all but two of my WA (weekly allowance) points for the week! And I still have 4 days to go! So I must be extra good the rest of the week. Let me tell you, it was hard getting up to jog today, but I did it, so I feel a little better now. But hey, we all screw up a little, don't we? It's just a matter of picking yourself up and getting back on track.
And by the way... congratulations Tony Dungy!!!

12:26 pm - So I decided to join Weight Watchers
|
So here I am again. I haven't used this journal in quite a while, but since I've joined Weight Watchers, I've decided to use this as my weight loss blog. So here it goes.
I got married on November 11, 2006. When I got my wedding pics, I was absolutely horrified with the way I looked. How did I get this way? I jogged 4 times a week. Well, apparently you have to actually eat right, too. {{sigh}} I knew I had gained several pounds in the past year, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see anything different. Sure, my clothes were tighter, but that was the washing machine's fault, wasn't it? (((DENIAL))) So I decided I would join WW. Since the holidays were immediately after the honeymoon, I decided to wait until January to start. I wanted to enjoy eating during the holidays! On my wedding day, I weighed 180. During the honeymoon (cruise), I gained 5 pounds. After the holidays, I had gained 3 more pounds, bringing me to grand total of 188lbs when I joined WW. Since I wouldn't allow any pictures of me to be taken after the wedding, I can't show you what I looked like at my peak weight, but here is one of me during the cruise, somehere between 180-185lbs:
My goal is to get down to 140lbs. I have now been on WW for 1 month, and have lost 11.6 lbs. Here is a pic of me that was taken yesterday:
Ahh.. much better. I was actually able to fit into size 12 jeans in this pic! I still have a long way to go, though. Stay tuned as I will post more pics, struggles, and triumphs throughout my weight loss journey.
