Yuck...

I just ate a Burger King veggie burger, poutine and bulk barn gummy treats for dessert. Can I just say...that was STUPID!!! I feel ill. Very ill.
Smarten up!!!!

Snail's pace

Down 0.6lbs. That's all for now. L and Little P will be over tonight so I'll probably be MIA for the rest of the day. I'm behaving foodwise for breakfast and lunch. We'll see what happens for dinner!!
B- the usual (3)
L- cup of soup (1), hummus sandwich (1), cottage cheese (2), yogurt and berries (2)
D- ????

Same, same...

Today has pretty much been a repeat of yesterday...work wise, food wise, excercise wise (meaning non-existent!). The only thing I did differently is clean the house when I got home. I guess that's something!!
I really need to make some phonecalls (ie. we need someone to actually MARRY us and I need to plan a Jack and Jill) but I just hate the thought of talking on the phone right now. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not...
Food:
B- bagel and cream cheese (3)
L- black bean soup (3), hummus sandwich (1), yogurt with pineapple and strawberries (2)
S- ww cake (1), 4 melba toast (1)
D- pita pizza with pineapple, spinach, yellow pepper and hot pepper (4), salad with homemade dressing (2)
S- egg salad sandwich (3) - I just boiled up some eggs. You know, for the protein and decided that would make a filling snack. Yes, I'm weird!

I'm BAAACCCKKK!!!

Sorry. It's been busy! I'm just getting back into the swing of things.
Here's the scoop on a couple of things:
1) Wedding dress - DONE! Sample sale in London = awesome dress for awesome price!!! Bad part is, it must be last year's "model" or something as I canNOT find a picture of it online anywhere!! It rocks though. Exactly what I was wanting, I just didn't know it!!
2) Mother of the bride dress - DONE! Sale in Lindsay and Mom found 4 dresses! We all agreed that one totally rocked on her :) Done and done!
3) WW - doing OK. London could have been better but it also could have been a lot worse! I've still got some black bean soup in the freezer which is helping up the fibre. And I bought some new soy products and tilapia filets for dinner which helps get in the protein. Oh and I also bought some fresh dill, which makes everything taste like summer!!
4) Excercise - what's that??? Seriously bad. I'm going to lose all mileage that I've built up to if I don't get back at it soon. I really wish these CUPE people could settle and plow the freakin' sidewalks.
5) Little P - cutest thing ever. He sits up by himself, he crawls, he shakes his head no, he eats Cheerios, he should go in a commercial!!!
6) McDonald's has cinnamon buns now...what the heck???
That's all I can think of right now!
So on to food:
B- WW bagel with salsa cream cheese (3) - thanks for the product report on that one, Jen!!
L- Black bean soup (3), hummus sandwich (1), yogurt (1), pineapple (1)
S- WW toast with cheez whiz (1)
D- Lemon and dill tilapia (2), roasted asparagus with parmesan and lemon (1), mashed potatoes (3), salad with homemade oil/vinegar/dill dressing (2)
S- FF cheesecake pudding with berries and a couple chocolate chips (2)
S2 ?? - a couple points left for somethin'!

Little numbers

With no excercise in sight, I guess the big numbers are too much to hope for. I am down 0.4lbs this week. I'm OK with that. I've tried some new recipes and hopefully can carry the fibre/protein trial into next week. I'm enjoying my bagel sandwiches for breakfast and the black bean soup is yummy, especially since winter is not going away!
On to the next week...

Why, oh why,

must a drug rep bring in lunch on the day before weigh in??? That is the question today, folks. All in all, it wasn't awful. She brought salad and sandwiches from Fancy Pants. My sandwich was pear and brie with hot pepper jelly on a croissant. Sounds weird but was super excellent! I used the "dip the fork in the dressing" trick for the salad. THEN...came the macaroon square. It would have been ok had I resisted that!
Food today:
B- ww bagel with spinach omelette (3)
L- Sandwich (8?), Salad (2), Square (4?)
D- Black bean soup (3), grilled cheese sandwich (3), celery (0)
S- 100 cal popcorn (1)
All this sandwich talk is making me hungry. I think I'll go have more celery!!
Happy Friday to me!!! And good luck at weigh in, Miss Jen!

Not much to report...

Besides almost having a nervous breakdown at work, I don't have much to report :) Breakdown averted due to being able to successfully get Thursday and Friday off work. L and I are possibly going to London to watch her hubby coach the Seneca V-ball team. Original plan was to bring Little P as well but the game times are past his bedtime...so we'll see.
Food:
B - ww bagel with spinach and green onion omelette (3), pineapple (1)
L - black bean soup (3) with hummus sandwich - ww bread (1), 2tbsp wendy and barb's skinny hummus (0), spinach, red pepper and dill pickle (1), yogurt (1), grapes (1)
S - another hummus sandwich (1) + cereal and milk (3)
D - Lasagna (6) with ww garlic bread (1)
No points left for a snack and I still felt like I wanted to chew off my arm after work despite eating 11 points for breakfast and dinner. What's up with that? And what's up with my obsession for alphabit cereal? It's not THAT good...

Mission: Up the protein & fibre...

is underway!!! This evening I spent a few hours making black bean soup (3pts for a large serving), 1pt spinach and green onion omelettes, sundried tomato quinoa (2pts for 1/2c. serving) and cutting up pineapple and rationing out grapes.
Today's food was something like this:
B - ww bagel with egg beater stuff (3)
S- alphabit cereal with milk (3)
L- tuna (1) with salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing (2)
S- ww toast and cheez whiz (2)
D- parmesan crusted tilapia (3), quinoa (3), roasted balsamic cauliflower (0)
S- 1/4 c. chocolate covered raisins (4)
S- 100cal popcorn (1)
Yum! Tomorrow's food is shaping up to be pretty tasty looking too! I'll update you tomorrow :)

Spoiled...and lovin' it :)

Looky what I got for the day after Valentine's day...Have I mentioned that I absolutely LOVE gerbera daisies?? Too pretty!

And to top it off, yesterday was Saturday and I pretty much behaved myself. This is a first in a long time. I made a 6pt/piece lasagna for dinner with a cucumber/pepper/tomato salad tossed in ff italian dressing. AND 3pt. chocolate souffle for dessert! It was yummy. Now today, I'm going to read my new cookbook (The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook) and get some new ideas and some groceries to follow through. This WILL be a good week :) Onwards and upwards!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It was hard to get up this morning! It was also hard to get on the scale. Blah. I did, of course, gain this week. I'm up 0.4lbs. But I refuse to dwell on it. It's done. And it could have been much, much worse.
I'm probably eating pizza tonight to celebrate V-day with L and little P. J is away tonight so we'll probably go out this weekend. Already sounds like a bad food weekend! Oh well, SUTCH is life :)
Enjoy your Valentine today :)

Livin' on a prayer

That's what it will take to lose weight this week. And if I don't...meh. I don't really care. Long day at work. Wasn't feeling like doing anything when I got home. Ate like crap. That's today. We'll hope for a better day (and week) tomorrow.
Here's what I wolfed down today
B- weight control oatmeal (2)
L- salad (1), cottage cheese (2), soup (2)
S- 2 (yes 2) bowls of alphabit cereal with milk (6), some of J's habenero doritos (3?)
D- 2 grilled cheese (3), soup (2)
S- coffee crisp (2), 2 fruitsations (2)

Yuck!

I'm on the french fry diet...

I did so well today, UNTIL...I don't know what. J said he would buy me dinner cause I was tired and stressed. What did I choose? Arby's curly fries and to top it off, some mozzerella sticks. Holy gut rot! Tasted great at the time though. I could do my excercise video to make up for things but I have to be honest, I'm not going to. I'm having some trouble caring right now. Maybe it's the winter blahs. Maybe it's just me. Gotta get out of whatever it is...
B- weight control oatmeal (2)
L- egg salad (2) on ww bread (1), cup of soup (1), grapes (1), yogurt (1)
S- cottage cheese (2), veggies and dip (0)
Dinner has been covered earlier....Oops. Now if I could only get Jen to bring me a cupcake...hmmm.

Another Monday

Not much to report. Eat, sleep, work. That about sums it up.
B- Weight control oatmeal (2)
L- WW bagel with cream cheese (2), cup of soup (1), yogurt (1), grapes (1)
S1- clementines (1)
S2- melba toast (2), pickles (0), chocolate special K (1)
D - veggie sausage on flatout wrap (4), perogies (3), green beans tossed in ff italian dressing and feta cheese (1)
S3- aero single (2), fruitsations (1)
That's it...I'm done. Enough snacking already! I'm thinking that I need to try and get more protein into my day. I come home just starving and can't seem to stay full. When I look at my day, it seems to be lacking in the protein department. I'll see what I can think of for tomorrow!!

Engagement photos...finally!

The View! THE Ring!!!!!!

Preparing for the toast!

The happy, engaged couple!!!!!!!

Losin' it!! In a good way!

Want some inspiration??? Check out
JEN's blog. She has just reached 70lbs lost. And she is a great person. And she is going to be one hot bridesmaid :) Good work, Jen!!!!!!!

As expected...

Up 1.2 lbs. Well deserved after the conference and drinking on Saturday AND snacks throughout the week. After tonight, here's to a better week :)

As Little P would say....

Blah, blah, blah! That's how I've been feeling today. Sort of headachy/dizzy/shaky/sleepy. Is that enough ///'s for you? Skipped out of yet another run due to the weather and our city being on strike and not clearing the sidewalks. I came home and ate right away and then put in the bikini bootcamp. Now I feel really blah!!! Oh well. Workout in. That's what matters!
Oh, the exciting news - tomorrow is my Friday! I have Friday off for la dress shopping. Yay. And tomorrow night is chinese/drinks/hot tub night at L's.
One more day.
B- weight control oatmeal with too much water in it! (2)
L- ww bagel with cream cheese (3), cup of soup (1), yogurt (1)
S- melba toast (2), dried mango (2)
D- veggie chili (4), baked tostitos (4)
S- chocolate covered raisins (4?) yes, bad idea to have those in the house!! Especially the club pack version of them...J was supposed to talk me out of them. Didn't happen.

SO snacky!

So last night was not exactly according to plan. I had 2 bowls of chocolate special K and then a piece of bread with cheez whiz on it almost RIGHT before bed. What the F? Sometimes I wonder. I was super tired and should have just went to bed. Crazy! But I just couldn't talk my self out of eating. I'm going to blame it on the time of month but I SO hate doing that. I need to have control at all times of the month!!!!
Anyway, today I've been better. And Biggest Loser is on so that usually keeps me in check. I should cut up some veggies for later...
Breakfast, lunch and snack = same as yesterday
D - Veggie chili (4), "real" bread (3) with garlic spread (1)
S - Hot chocolate (1), maybe veggies and dip or celery and cheez whiz???

Soup day!

OK, I'm finally back and caught up...sort of...from my conference/busy weekend. To recap - I lost 1lb on Thursday again. It seems to be my number this month! A loss is a loss though. Not sure that this week will be the same with all the meals out that I've eaten since Thursday. But I did go running today.
Looks like there is a wedding date that is 90% confirmed. J and I will be tying the knot on September 13, 2008. And Jen will be able to come and not be hung over :) It works for everyone. Still plenty of details to sort through, of course....but it's exciting that I've gotten the date I wanted!!
OK on to food:
B - chocolate special K (2), 1/2 c. milk (1), clementines (1)
L - ww bagel with cream cheese (3), mushroom cup of soup (1), veggies and dip (0), grapes (1)
S - melba toasts (2) with salsa (0)
D - 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (4), tomato soup (3)
S - more chocolate special K (2) + something else...maybe more soup :)
