Its been awhile huh?
Super busy week! So busy that I only had about two days of exercise which I think showed in my weight loss. However, I weighed in this morning and....
Lost 2.8lbs this week!!!
I'm still happy with it because its still weight loss.
Anyway, on Tuesday our community started a weight loss challenge so I decided to sign up for it. Mostly because there are some organizations that open up their gyms for open gym times and organized exercise classes. So I decided that six weeks of free physical activity was worth it. And if I could come away with some cash money for winning the individual catergory...why not?
My goal this week is to 1. drink more water and 2. to excerise at least 4 times this week.
And then my other non weight loss goal is to do this blog everyday....I hope I can acheive all three!!
And on to tomorrow....
Current Weight: 252.6lbs

DAY NINE
January 8, 2012
Today started off bad. The sad part is it had nothing to do with food. I woke up with a really bad headache...I should say migraine. Awful. Then I noticed the stench of dog poop. Yes the damn dog decided to crap right beside my bed! Ugh!
But on to better things. Not a bad day with the food today. I even ate lunch at McDonald's with my daughter and I think I handled it well. Although...I did bum a couple of french fries off of her lunch..heehee!
(Gotta get her perks where ya can!)
i wanted to go walk today but my kiddo had other ideas. I can usually entice her with shopping so we bargained and went to the mall. Then we did a little Wii Sports after we got home.
Back to work tomorrow. First full week of work since middle of December...wonder how that's going to go over?
On to Monday...

DAY EIGHT
January 7, 2012
5.6 lbs!!!!!
Yep...that is my weight loss for the first week!
I'm pretty proud of that. Although I think it could have been more if I would have skipped the Chipotle last night. I think I need to have that as a reward for Saturday lunches instead, you know, after weigh in!
Food wise it was a pretty typical day and not too bad. I did make Chicken Parmasean for dinner tonight and even coated a chicken breast in eqq whites for me instead. Although I did indulge a little bit and also had some garlic bread which is.....wow....full of points! But I still managed to stay within my daily points.
Then my husband came home from hunting at my parent's farm with some cupcakes and Rice Krispie Treats from my mother. I think my jaw dropped to the floor when those came out of the grocery sack. Although after doing some investigation it is determined that a Rice Krispie Treat is only 3 points!!!! Did you hear that? 3 points! I'm so having one of those tonight! The cupcakes on the other hand.....those are strictly for the kids...I'm forcing myself to stay away from those!
Excerise was non-existent today. I should have taken the time to get some in when the kids and husband were gone. But I was cleaning the house and by time I thought about it, it was getting dark and it was just me and my daughter home. She didn't want to go and she's too young to stay home by herself. She had just played 30 minutes of non-stop basketball game so it didn't seem right to make her get back out and walk with her dear old Mom. Tomorrow is a different day...there will be a walk in my day at some point!
On to tomorrow....
1st week weight loss: 5.6 lbs----255.4 lbs

DAY SEVEN
January 6, 2012
Tomorrow is weigh-in day!!!
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little excited to see how much I have lost this week.
I did splurge a little tonight and had my favorite Chipotle. But it seems I was still within my daily points so I hope it doesn't reflect on tomorrow's scale.
I managed to get in a little more exercise today as well. I had an hour lunch break today and decided to walk around the mall that is close by the office. Then after dinner I did fifteen minutes on the Wii Fit and then ten minutes of Wii Bowling. I know it doesn't sound like much but at least I'm moving!
I have to come up with some goals and incentives when those goals are reached. Hmmm....I'm drawing a blank!
Well until tomorrow and the big result! Well, I hope its big anyway!

DAY FIVE AND SIX
January 5, 2012
I missed yesterday's post....busy, busy, busy.
Have had so-so days yesterday and today.
After entering my food into the Weight Watchers eTools Tracker tool I realized I did better than I thought but, I just didn't feel right.
Wednesday I ate all the right things but felt hungry all day long. Then we were busy all night last night so I didn't manage to get any exercise in again so I just felt a little down.
Today started off good and even thought I ate well at lunch. I went with a co-worker to Applebee's and had the Santa Fe Chicken Salad without dressing and added salsa. I also told them to skip the sour cream and guacamole.
I even managed to get a short walk in late this afternoon before it started to get dark. Then tonight my parents took us out for supper to Church's Chicken. Evidently they don't believe in anything grilled there....ugh. However, after entering in the info into the Food Tracker it really wasn't that bad.
I think this is where I need to get it out of my head that its not all bad what I eat just the amount and how often.
I also need to remember to stay off the scale until it is strictly weigh in days. All it does is give me highs and lows.
Lessons to learn, huh? LOL.
But on to another day.....

DAY FOUR
January 3, 2012
Another good day today on the diet journey. I think. :-)
Let me explain:
Breakfast: Skipped. I probably shouldn't have but had the day off and slept late then went out and ran errands so just no time.
Lunch: A Fit-N-Active Turkey and Broccoli Hot Pocket; Salad with dressing, and pretzel chips.
Snack: Orange
Supper: 2 Spicy Chicken Tacos (soft shell) with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and salsa. They were super good and the chicken was super easy to make. I'll attach the recipe at the bottom.
Snack: Jello w/Fat Free Cool Whip on top
I didn't get any activity in today though so this where I'm a little down about. I haven't felt well today with achy back and stomach so just didn't get to it. I'm really down about that but plan to walk on my lunch break tomorrow.
I really try not to weigh myself on a daily basis but I just wanna see if all of this is making a difference.
And on to tomorrow...
Slow Cooker Spicy Chicken
2-4 chicken breast on bottom of the slow cooker
8 oz. fat free salsa poured over top
1/4 c. of tomato sauce poured on top of that
Seasoning of your choice: I used chili powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt/powder, salt/pepper to taste.
Cook on low for 4 hours if chicken thawed. I cooked on high for 4 hours as the chicken was still frozen but it was done in that time frame.
Shred with fork.
Again, we made tacos out of the meat but I also thought about using the meat to make a chicken taco salad. It really isn't all that spicy, if at all.
Enjoy! I know our family did!

DAY THREE
January 2, 2012
Another good day today! YEA for me!
Late Breakfast: 2 Scrambled eggs with salsa, slice of toast with 1 tsp of butter
Lunch: 1 slice of cheese pizza, salad with carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, & tomatoes with 2 TBSP of Catalina dressing
Snack: Banana
Supper: Pork chops with a small amount of mushroom gravy, broccoli, green beans, and 1/2 cup of mac-n-cheese
I discovered today that sugar free jello is a 0 point value on Weight Watchers!!! Can you give me a whoot whoot? So I made some raspberry jello and going to top it off with some fat free Cool Whip as a snack.
We also found a deal on a treadmill today at Kmart so we have put it on layaway. We have Christmas money to use for it but we also need a new stove so we may be splitting that money between the two.
Went for another walk today with the family. I made a stipulation though that the dogs had to stay home because they slowed us down yesterday. We went a different route today so its kinda hard to determine that. The kids wanted to walk to their school which is only about 4 blocks away which we made it about 2 and I started to feel my legs hurt so I wanted to turn back around before I knew I had pushed it too far.
I am hoping though that when we get the treadmill home then I can break up the walking in the morning and in the evening.
I am sure there are going to be days where I wanna chuck all of this out the window but today is not one of those days!
On to the next day...
