Well, last night was hair night. Maybe I lost weight from all the hair I got cut off? I wouldn't know yet as I didn't have time to weigh myself this AM as I slept in!! I woke up at 7:50 and am due to work at 8am! Luckily I did get my hair done last night as I was able to get away with not washing/drying/straightening and was to work by 8:30. I didn't have time to pack lunch though but ended up with a 6 inch veggie sub from subway - yum!
Food today:
B- rye toast with PB and J (4)
L- veggie sub (5), yogurt (1)
S- low fat chips and dip (5?), piece of rye bread (1) - couldn't stop snacking, oops!
D- pita pizza (4), spinach salad (1)
Last night after our hair, L and I went for dinner. I may have blown my calorie budget but was starving. I was starving today too. Not sure what's up with that. Good weekend followed by a crappy Tuesday/Wednesday probably will not help the cause.
Last night's food : 1 caesar, spicy lime shrimp, lasagna rollups with salad plus a few bites of L's poutine.
Oh well, Sutch is life.

Monday? Already?
So, I don't know where the weekend goes. It's sad really. But, money is good so off to work I went. What a depressing morning after the weather yesterday!
My excercise motivation is apparently tied to the weather as I couldn't make myself do anything today. Tomorrow is hair day (yay!) so no excercise then either. Maybe Wednesday??
Food today:
B- steel cut oats (2)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt with 3 strawberries (1), 1c. grapes (1)
S- V8 (1)
D- veggie burger (2) on ww bun (2) with ff cheese slice (1), ff fries (3), spinach salad (0)
S- sugar cone (1) + ???
After dinner I was lucky enough to receive a phonecall from Little P. He had the phone and when L asked him who he was calling, he said "Auntie"! Love it! I learned that he had fun at daycare, drove in the "caa", played with his friends, and "no" it is NOT bath night :) I adore him!!!

Acceptable weekend?
Not perfect but I'm thinking it was OK!
Friday night is usually pizza night. Instead, we had subs. I also had some "healthy" chips later on with our wine!
Saturday was We Will Rock You day. It was great! And we went to an Italian restaurant afterwards - I had a vegetarian multigrain pizza and a Calabrese salad. I also had 2 caesars and a bit of wine.
Today we went out for breakfast (jeez, maybe we just need to stay home for a while!!). I had french toast and homefries (15???). I did housework and some laundry and then...I went for a RUN!!!!!! Wooohoooo! It was a walk/run as I went with someone else but that's OK. It was something and it was a fabulous day out! For dinner we had cheese tortellini (7) with salad and a piece of bread (3).
Overall, I feel like the weekend was better than usual so it's a start. Lunches are packed and ready to go and I have fruit and veggies in the house :)

Baffled
OK, it's not huge but somehow it's a loss??? I lost 0.6lbs. Maybe that will be enough to motivate me because imagine what I can do if I actually follow the plan??? So far that thinking has worked for today. I do have some snacks for later though.
My food today, you ask?
B- oatmeal (2)
L- hummus sandwich (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt and all bran buds (2)
S- 1 piece of bread (1) - weird carb cravings today!, small glass of Clamato (1) - weird salt cravings too!!
D- tomato soup (3), grilled cheese- mmmm, more bread!! (5), brussel sprouts (1)
S- baked chips and dip (6), 1 reese peanut butter cup (2) - I'm trying to wait for the good tv before I break into any of this!
I completed my civil duty tonight after work and I made John too! We voted and hopefully our guy wins...I have my doubts though...

Damage control
That's what today was all about. Veggies in the house makes all the difference, that's for sure!
Other than my food, I can't think of much else to report...so here you go:
B- oatmeal (2)
L- veggie/hummus sandwich on sprouted grain bread (2), cottage cheese (1), yogurt and strawberries with all bran buds (2), ww oatmeal cookie (1)
S- cheese while making dinner (2)
D- pita pizza (5), spinach salad with strawberries and chickpeas and balsamic vinegar (1), sugar cone for dessert (1)
S- not sure but I will need something!
This weekend is set to be yet another challenge. We are going to see We Will Rock You and then going for dinner on Saturday. In the grand scheme of things, this should be fine however I also have a problem behaving myself on Fridays. I guess that's something I have to deal with though. I think I'm having trouble because when I'm at goal and running, I can have 2 off nights but right now - NOT working!!

UNinspiring :(
That about sums up my life! I have not been a good blogger, weight watcher or excerciser. I haven't had any veggies in the house since Friday and I didn't care. I FINALLY made myself go grocery shopping (after having to buy lunch at work today). Hopefully that will kick start SOMETHING!!
I was the shopping queen on the weekend. I went shopping on Friday at Yorkdale and Vaughan Mills. I bought a cute pair of flats, a new pair of runners and some bath and body works wall flower thingys. Oh and some pj's on sale at the Gap.
Saturday, I went shopping again with my cousin in Markham! I bought socks, a scarf, and a curtain rod...all on SALE!
I forgot to add that on Friday, I also bought some chocolate at Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory store. I ate chocolate covered strawberries on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They were awesome but I shouldn't have gotten them! My willpower is out the window.
Anyway, here's what I ate today (before my grocery shopping)
B- oatmeal (2)
L- salad with oranges and dried cranberries and sesame dressing (4?), 2 tbsp. broccoli salad (2?), 5 tortilla chips and salsa (2), weight watcher cookie (1)
S- 100 cal popcorn (1)
D- meatless chicken fingers (5), perogies (3), peas (1)
S- sugar cone (1) - weird...i know
Tomorrow's lunch is packed. It WILL be a better day!
