So when ya gonna post?
SWEET June 28, 2007
I’ve told you about how my MIL was so happy that she weighed less than me, I’ve told the other countless times she has twisted the knife that she put in my back.
WELL…..She came out the Monday after Father’s Day and OH MY GOODNESS, she was quite rotund! Of course she said she was holding fluid in her stomach, yep, that’s my problem too……HELLO…..you eat too much and don’t do any sort of exercise! She always tells us how she just can’t seem to make herself eat because she’s too sick. She always tells us that she never goes out to eat anymore. Just about everytime Hubs talks to her on the phone, it’s her cell and she’s out to eat! And, as I’ve told you so many times before, if I’m talking to her on the phone, she’s smacking in my ear!
ANYWAY…..She came out yesterday to drop her dog off. She’s going out of town(that’s another post entirely). She was wearing…….are you ready?…….. My old capris! These are a pair that I gave her when Hubs and I lost our weight! Yes, I gained most back, but I’ve lost a bunch this time also, and there’s no way they would fit me again! I was so excited. HA HA HA……that is what you get when you are so ugly to someone…..call me up and ask if I weigh so much and then squeal with delight and say how happy you are that you don’t weigh as much as me. COW.
Ok, I’m all better now!
Yesterday was such a good day for me, with everything that happened!
All That And A Bag Of Chips!!
Meds June 17, 2007
I said in a comment on the ’scales’ post that food just doesn’t taste the same. Well, I finally put my finger on why! Ya know that feeling you have in your mouth after you’ve eaten a peppermint patty? That’s kinda how my mouth feels all of the time. It’s a very weird sensation, AND nothing tastes quite like it’s supposed to!
Yes, I know I’m strange!!
Scales June 14, 2007
Hubs and I finally got a new scale yesterday. It’s reading about the same weight as the other did. But it’s doing crazy like the other one did also. This morning I got on the scale and was pleased, according to that number, I’d lost 20 lbs. So, I go and do my morning shot, and then go back to the bathroom and I weigh again and according to the scale, I’d gained 2 lbs! Either way it’s a loss. From last Thursday, going by the higher number, I’ve lost 3 lbs! Not too bad, HUH?
That’s 17 lbs so far!
I did get some weight training and cardio in yesterday. Hubs and I did deadlifts and I’m feeling a little twinge in my inner thighs this morning. If history tells me anything, then I am anticipating sore inner thighs tomorrow!!! We also did shoulders and I can feel the area around my shoulder blades this morning. They don’t really hurt, I just know that they are there! It’s a good feeling, even knowing that I probably won’t be able to move tomorrow, I like the feeling of knowing that I did something!
Hubs is off again today, so I’ll stay after work and walk on the treadmill.
SOY June 6, 2007
I’ve read that soy can help with PMS. I can’t find the little book that I had, but there was an article I read about dairy products to avoid and that soys should be increased 2 weeks before your cycle. Now that I’m taking progesterone, the symptoms are gone, but I am curious if my body could use the soy anyway!
Now that Hubs and I are back on the wagon, we have stocked up on protein powder. He likes his with 2 scoops(50 g protein), milk, 1 banana and ice. I’ve started mixing mine with Chocolate Soy LIGHT and I’m only using 1 scoop (25g) and the past 2 mornings I had 4 strawberries with that!
I think that’s a great breakfast! I really like the light version of the choc soy. #2 loves choc soy milk. I get it for him and have always liked it but always thought it was too thick. This light version is just the right consistency!
Strawberries June 4, 2007
We were at Whole Foods today and they had the big clam shell of strawberries on 2/$5. SO, I decided to get one. I just washed and pitted 5 and sat down to have them as my evening snack. I didn’t soak them for the day in sugar and told myself that they’d still be good and I can learn to like them without all of the sugar.
WELL
OH. MY. GOOD. NESS
These were the best strawberries that I’ve ever had!! The sweetness of them is indescribable! There was one bad one and maybe that means that they are super ripe and probably shouldn’t be left in the fridge very long. BUT, instead of eating the whole damn container tonight, I’ll refrain and eat them with breakfast in the morning!
Close To Home June 3, 2007
We’re a little behind kids, so in order to get caught up
…Summer vacation…
will only be 45 minutes this year!
Movies June 3, 2007
As you know, I love movies. The problem is, I like to eat heavily buttered popcorn while I’m watching movies. AND one bag isn’t usually enough. So, I haven’t allowed myself to buy any popcorn in about 2 months.
I watched Mission Impossible 3(more about my feelings of this movie in another post) this afternoon and was doing very well. I got my cell phone out and checked my email and then I played a few games of Pop-It, and then I got the lotion out and rubbed lotion on my feet and legs to keep my hands busy a little while longer. I also had a huge bottle of water. This was a great ploy to keep food out of my mouth and worked very well, for this movie.
Then I got busy around the house, tidying up and sorting laundry. Then I saw that Mission Impossible 2 was coming on. So I sat down with my water to watch it. I wasn’t so clever with my hands during this movie and ate a whole bag of Kettle lightly salted chips. Luckily I only bought the 5 oz size! I keep telling myself that this was just a minor set back and that I shouldn’t blow a whole day on one failure!
BUT, I also haven’t walked today. I’ve been moving with mopping and sweeping and laundry, but I haven’t spent 30 minutes on the treadmill. I can’t give myself an excuse, not even for one day. I know me, if I give myself an inch, I’ll take a mile!
Hubs is off tomorrow, and I’ve already got gym time scheduled for when I get off work!!! I’ll just have #1 with me and he like to get in the ab lounge while I work out!
I do have dinner planned, so we won’t be at the mercy of the 2 fast food joints in town! We’re having something very simple, grilled chicken, green beans and zucchini!
