Finally! Two pounds down!

Week: 3
Weight: 250
Weight loss to date: 10lbs

As of Monday I was officially down two pounds from the week before. It took long enough!

Technically, it was my fault. I'd had several lunch meetings and it's difficult to portion correctly and know exactly what's in your damn chicken salad! I just kept staying at 252. Finally I'm on my way to losing more weight. I'm damned determined too! My Mexican or Carribean vacation depends on me losing 50 pounds by New Years Eve! UGH!

I am pretty sure that I can do it if I'm diligent. A bitch just can't give up ya know!

The Mr. says I'm making him fat because of all the cooking I do. The problem is, he doubles and triples the portions in comparison to mine. Now who's fucking fault is that??? Hmmmmmm?

Yah, not this bitches!

I made WW mac & cheese last night and we had barbequed chicken on the grill and steamed broccoli. I made some queso blanco w/jalapenos for the Mr. to put on his broccoli. I cheated a bit and put some on mine, but I didn't eat a ton of it like he did so I didn't exceed my points yesteday. In fact, I had 5 pts left to burn that I didn't touch!

I'm feeling better about dieting now. I'm glad I can eat real food and enjoy it! That NutriSystem shit is for the fucking birds! Some of the food was good, but for the most part, I didn't really like it. Plus, I spent a lot of money on it and I had to spend extra just to supplement. I bought tons of fruits and veggies to complete the program. It ain't cheap!

Okay, I'm done. Gotta run and get ready for work. I meant to post on Monday, but I totally forgot. I could actually be down a pound or two since I last weighed. I'm only going to weigh in on Mondays so as not to worry, worry, worry about.

Later blogosphere!

Week 2 on WW: Weight 252 - STILL!

Okay, I know where I went wrong. I ate normally this weekend rather than watching my points. In fact, I was BAD. My boss took me, the mister, a co-worker and her mister, out for dinner at this fucking fantabulous Italian restaurant called Maggiano's. If you live in ATL or know about the ATL you may have heard of it. We went to the one at Perimeter, there's another one in Buckhead. Both are equally delicious.

So, I had calamari, chicken parm, egglplant parm, veal picatta (YUM!), two salads, a pasta dish and DESERT!! My two favorites, creme brulee and tiramisu.

Now, before you go thinking I ate all this food as separate entrees by myself...we had family style so I took a small portion of everything we ordered. DAYAMB! It rocked in case you couldn't tell how I felt about it.

So, that is why this bitch hasn't lost a pound in a week!! I'm shameless I guess. But, that dinner was a fluke. We don't normally eat like that. In fact, me and the mister went shopping yesterday and bought everything for WW recipes that we wanted to try this week and next. We're ready! I also brought a WW meal to work with me, but not before I sabotaged my day with Chick-fil-A! I was starvin Marvin! I had a multi-grain bagel with chicken, cheese and eggs on it. I'm guesing 12 points just for the sandwich!

So, now more than half my days points are gone with the wind from my backside. Guess I'll be doing the old salad thing for dinner. No biggee though. I'm down with roughage.

So, my blogger pals. Keep your fingers crossed for a fat bitch. I'm looking for an eliptical or treadmill within the next week or two. This bitch needs to move some fat!

Love yas!

Weight Watchers anyone?

Alright, two full days on Weight Watchers and I've lost a pound. A good start. I'm back down to 252.

I am having real salt cravings right now. The last thing I need! I don't need the water retention!! I know most women carry around an extra 5 lbs of water weight all the time. I don't know if we ever really lose that!

I've been downloading a ton of weight watchers recipes from the web. I have some killer ones. I made One Skillet Beef Stroganoff for myself and the Mr. He loved it! It was really good! I have never really been disappointed by WW recipes so I think I'll be okay. I've done well so far on portions, I just have to stay away from chips & dip! My biggest craving right now!

Now, as for exercise, what is that?? Well, the Mr. and I have been walking some, but it's very hot and muggy here in the summer time so I have been talking to him about getting an eliptical machine for our room. We have a huge bedroom with a 96" tv on the wall. I could ride that eliptical machine while watching something on TiVo. Perfect! My endocrinologist told me that I would burn 500 extra calories if I did 30 minutes of eliptical as opposed to 30 minutes of treadmill. I'm up for that! I could lose buckets of weight if I get one and get on it 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I'd rather buy one than get a membership to a gym. I hate going to a gym as an super fatty while all the skinny's around me glisten and look beautiful while they work out. Doesn't do much for my self esteem at least. So, I'm gonna start looking around for an eliptical machine.

I'll be back around on Monday of next week, unless I check my weight and I've lost more and get excited and can't contain it!

Bye Bye NutriSystem, Hello Weight Watchers

This sucks. I have to go off NutriSystem.

It is totally messing with my digestion. I have to stop it and eat normally to actually go take a dump!

I may have lost weight the first week, but the second week I was totally backed up and that NEVER happens to me. So, I ate Steak and Shake and an hour later - SHAZAM! I dropped a few pounds in a few minutes!

I know it's gross and all, but I think I need to stay away from this stuff. I cancelled my membership and I'm going to go back to Weight Watchers. I can follow that mother so well and lose 3 lbs a week if I drink my water and keep my points down.

So, switching gears here. Keep up people!

:)

Oy Ve! The Holidays!!

Yah, life's a bitch.

The 4th of July holiday weekend was great fun, just sucky for my weight loss journey.

I gained a lb! I am now 253. We'll try again on Monday, July 10th. Wish me luck!
