The scale is not moving....but then again neither am I.  I was pretty good on food....eyeballed in Dallas and measured when home.  Followed the plan pretty close and drank my fluids since we got back.  But I didn't exercise....too much sitting.....in the car, at games, in front of the TV, and even in front of the computer trying to catch up a little.  I have work stuff to catch up on today but I intend to get up and walk for some breaks and will make sure to wear my pedometer this week.

weight the same 241

Have a good Halloween.....don't eat the candy!

Doing better

I have been eating better and weighing and measuring for my calorie counts.  The clothes fit pretty good for the wedding... I'm hoping that they fit even better the next time I wear them. Not much to say tonight . Have a good week.

I tried eyeballing my food last week.........not my best idea.  We're in Dallas for a family wedding.....but as soon as I get home the scale and measuring cups come out.  The result was that I did not meet mt goal this week.  I and only i can fix this and I will be working on it this week.

Weight 243

Up one pound

Hope the rest of you did better last week

Playoff Baseball

Almost one year ago I went to a playoff game between the Texas Rangers and the Ney York Yankees.  It was a great game and I had lots of junk(peanuts,  nachos,  garlic fries,  beer,  margaritas, & more).  Getting home the next day i felt so bloated and when I got on the scale the next AM my weight was 295.....almost 300 pounds(if I weighed sun night I might have been 300+).  It was the day that I realized I had to do something....not just for a little while but for life.  There have been days I fall off the wagon some, and times(like when I was sick this summer) when I can't eat and hydrate like I should but my day to day eating is very different now.  I usually don't eat salad dressing unless It's at home and I measure it and even then I often don't bother with it,  I eat less in general and if I'm hungry I try to drink or eat vegies, SF jello, or fruit rather than bread, cake, or candy.  I'm not perfect like some people are but I'm different and sitting at this years playoff game Monday between the Rangers and the Tigers I thought about it.

On Sunday I went shopping with a friend for a while and came home to have my dh say......tonights playoff game has been postponed due to ran to tomorrow afternoon and the tickets are cheaper, so I thought we might go.  We have a wedding in Dallas this coming weekend so he had decided we wouldn't go to a playoff game.  After discussing it over the next few hours(and watching the prices rise) it was decided to go.  Tickets were bought online and Monday at 9am off we went.  I wore the XL womans shirt I bought  at a game earlier this year....still a little tight but wearable.  Sitting in my seat I Thought about how much more room I had than last year(and I hope to be at a playoff game with even more room next year).  My Junk food this year.....2 large diet cokes and 3 hard pretzel rods in the extra innings when my anxiety was high and I was hungry(about 100cal for all 3).  We met a friend for dinner......I passed on wine and dessert this year....had a salad, chicken pomodoro with a little pasta, and more diet coke.......last year I had a dish with fried chicken in a creamy sauce, wine, and cheesecake, garlic bread....after all the junk at the game.  We got home about 2am.....my feet were a little swollen from all that sitting.  My weight today 243...which it was on Mon am also.  On Sat and Sun it was 242.....I followed my plan and in fact Sundays plan was just a little over 1000 cal and yet monday am I was 243......I'm following my plan and will see what it is on Fri.

Next Monday is Oct 17 2011,  which will be a year from when I started and I will have lost 50 pounds.  To me that is a major cause to celebrate.......with some new nail polish,  the Hawaii 5-0 DVD and maybe some CD's I want.......I will admit in the past it would have been a trip to a favorite restaurant or a lemon crunch cake.  I still have to finish losing what I gained when I was sick, but I know I will do it and I plan to have even more room in that seat at next years playoff game.

I've been trying all week....on tues morn the scale looked good (241) and I thought wow,  I'll make 240 by sat easy.......ha.  On thur it said 243 again and barely made it to 242 today.  I'd like to blame it on eating the whole watermelon I cut up on Wed(it was great) but since that was all my fruit  it was probably ok....I had bought some peaches, etc but they weren't good and I passed them to my dh who is the leftover king.  I even made a point of doing my exercise.  My mini goal is to be 240 by next fri when we leave for the wedding.....I thought I had it made this week,  but didn't.....but can still make it by Fri(i hope).

Another week done...and I'm not sure if I'm wiser and I know I'm not wealthier,  but I am weight-less.  I was good this week, except for probably wed.  My younger son had time off this week and decided to come home....however there are fare wars bet LA/Dal and therefore it was much cheaper for him to fly into/out of there. Also he had friends to visit with and a ride back with friends......so after considering how to get him home from there....I drove down on wed.  It was my first long drive by me since getting sick....not too bad. Got him and went out to eat...we shared and my devil was saying look at those great cakes and cookies, and Mir and Allan were saying remember healthy eating and weigh-ins...... I did not track that day but did the rest of the week.  Also stopped at Central Market to pick up some more produce and got home to see that we can have some extra fruit and vegies,  if needed which will help me as I have been struggling with my food plan some days. Would have bought more apples if I had know this....as i calc how many I needed.  I bought a peach....at the moment it might work as a kettle ball....hope it ripens so that I can eat it.  Tired by time we got home....it didn't used to bother me to go down and back....but getting old.  By the way, no dessert.
