I'm a bloggin' slacka

Its been a couple of days since I last blogged, so here I am. I've been doing good with eating in moderation which is my goal. We had turkey dinner last night for no particular reason, and I did pretty well at minding my portions. My Mom made a spinach salad - which was uber yummy - to go with the meal, so I loaded up on that.


For dessert, she had made chocolate cupcakes with fondant icing (my fave) and I had 2; I think this is just fine though because I haven't had any kind of "over-indulgence" for 3 weeks now. YAY! The exercise is still an issue, although I do run around a lot at work all day, lol. I think I might take a walk on my lunch breaks, even if it's just for 15 minutes; it is SO nice out.


I'm down 5 pounds, a pretty decent loss for 3 weeks I think. Even if I lost a pound for 3 weeks out of every month until the wedding, I'd be a whopping 18 POUNDS lighter! I ended up taking the beautiful tight pants back - the last straw was when I found that they were dry clean only...grr


Here was what today looked like:

banana - small
2 tbsp PB - need to buckle down on the PB

turkey on a small bun
pickles & cukes
thinsations
gingerbread hot chocolate - 140 cals - yum

cadbury thin

Chicken pita - Opa Souvlaki
medium FF chocolate frozen yogurt - Yogen Fruz

steeped tea 2+2 sweetener


Not too bad, I think I've found my favourite supper out - at the food court anyway lol. We're meeting with a real estate agent soon to look at condos & townhouses, and getting pre-approved on Monday - Woot Woot!

Not too shabby

So, I was back on track today and sported my new pants, white t-shirt, and wine coloured blazer. I wish the pants had a little more give to them, or any at all. They are rayon, polyester, and wool, talk about tight lol.

Anyhoo, here's my menu:

1/2 grapefruit - nothing else to eat...
Nescafe w/milk

Smart Ones Rigatoni
1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
Oreo Thinsations

hot dog + bun & 0 point/low cal condiments
salad
fruit & yogurt parfait

Toffee cadbury thin


Should be interesting to see what tomorrow's menu will look like. I have a year end party for work (fiscal year) and I have no idea what they're feeding us. I have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be pizza or something equally bad; it's at a movie theatre - weird eh?

Retail Therapy

Oh so sweet...


I decided to take a bit of my tax return and unload it at Ricki's. I got some really nice things to add to my wardrobe and feel that much better about my new 9-5 life; they include:

1. Black pin stripped dress pants
2. Wine coloured short sleeved wrap shirt
3. Brown Blazer - $30 off!
4. Wine Blazer - LOVE it!
5. 2 t-shirts (white & hot pink) and 2 cami's (cream & wine) to go under the blazers

I love my new clothes and I think they will definitely make me feel more professional, especially the blazers. When I tried on the pants, I was very happy to see that the size 12s were way too big, 10s it is; not too far from single digits!

Here's today's eats:

yogurt

Nescafe w/milk

kraft dinner (easy mac) -- blech!

pudding

about 600 calories worth of cookie dough - I'm only human

grilled chicken pita wrap - Opa Souvlaki

LF frozen yogurt - Yogen Fruz

Chips Ahoy Waffer stix - meh

Not the worst day I've ever had, trust me. I'm still not feeling so great, hopefully that goes away soon. I've got a brand new outfit to wear tomorrow, right down to the socks! Should be a good day. I'll be weighing in tomorrow, I'll keep ya posted on that.

Oink Oink

Yep, I'm a pig. I guess the good news is that tomorrow is a new day. I've got quite the headache today that is making me want to eat whatever I have to to avoid feeling or being sick. To keep me honest, here is my menu as of 5:30p.m:

Brunch?

2 slices veggie pizza + 1 small slice BBQ chicken pizza

Yogurt & granola cup from Good Earth Cafe

Supper?

Steeped Tea - 2+2

3/4 grilled chicken sandwich w/o mayo - McDonald's

small fries - didn't eat all of them

Enough crap for one day? I think so...

Mmmm, Pizza

I did really well today with food and work, until my Dairy Queen salad had a bunch of brown lettuce in it and a caved in to the yummyness of Pizza 73. On a positive note, although I did eat 3 pieces of pizza, it was vegetarian.

Got Food?

Life Cereal

Nescafe w/milk

cheese & breadsticks handi-snack

leftover hamburger helper - 1-1.5 cups

banana cream yogurt

cadbury thin

grilled chicken from my brown salad

3 pieces veggie pizza

I'm going to try to get activity in tomorrow, I haven't got as much I would have liked this week, but that will change.

Today's Menu

Okay, since I didn't post it earlier, I'm doing it now:

banana
1 TB PB
Nescafe w/milk

Gardennay broccoli soup
4 saltines
grapes
1/2 cup cottage cheese

cadbury thin

Tim's tea 2 + sweetener

homemade hamburger helper stuff - about 2 cups
pudding

Snow snow go away!

Holy Lightning ! We've had at least 9 inches of snow here in the last day and a half. Our poor trees look similar to the ones above, just not as pretty. What we have is a big, wet, heavy, slushy mess! It's friggin' April, we shouldn't have almost a foot of snow on the ground. Hopefully it all melts in the next couple of days and makes everything all springy again.

Work was good today, I was so on top of my game. I got one of my Bridget Jones movies today - finally. So, I think we'll curl up under a blanket with our kitty and watch it :).
