Yesterday, we went to William's family house in Boston for a triple birthday party, so this was a test of not eating too much and being picky about what I was going to have. Since they ordered pizza and a cold cuts tray to make sandwiches, I had to estimate. I did not add mayonnaise as it was too high in calories, but I did add mustard which was zero. About 2 slices of two different types of sandwich meats, and a slice of cheese (Swiss), and finally 2-4 tablespoons of coleslaw. I had a cup of coffee black with some sweet n’ low, and later a decaf Diet Coke. I think I did okay, breakfast was at Dunkin Donuts, so I know how many calories I had, as it is not the first time I’ve had their awesome turkey bacon breakfast croissants, so good!!! 390 calories though, and an iced coffee, slim milk, and sweet n’ low. So not bad, and for dinner, a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #14 ~ Keep on Trucking
I’m not really post-dating, I did weigh in yesterday morning, and it’s Sunday today, so I am kind of post-dating the date. I usually call it posting about it over the same weekend, so yay! Even though I put yesterday's date, just for my own records, so I don’t get confused. I’ve been doing reasonably well, until Friday, when I goofed up. William texted me and asked if I felt like having a Subway, sandwich and I thought yay great! They have healthy sandwiches. We had a Subway sandwich a few weeks before, he asked me to email him what I’d like, and I am always a stickler for details and getting all the calorie counts. Well I waited until the last minute and I hadn’t done it yet, so I checked my email and copied an old email and sent him it, even though I read it said Teriyaki Chicken and that is yummy and I knew it would be. I glanced at Continue Reading
Weigh-in #13 ~ Got it going on!
So here I am again, post-dating my weigh-in. I don’t know why I do it, I should blog about it as soon as I weigh in, but so many things come up right after, then before I know it, the week has passed. Sorry, but I will do the post-dating just to keep it on track for myself. So last week I showed you the photo of the blouse, and it arrived this week, I tried it on just to see how much I have to go. I got it on, but I know I have still a lot to lose before I can actually be wearing it, it’s even more beautiful in person. Anyway back to my weigh-in, here is this week's photo! I know for some it may not be much to be losing, especially when you compare me to an extreme weight-loss person, I would do it, but I don’t think my life story is sappy enough. Oh yeah I lost 0.7 lbs, as I mentioned it is not much, but at least I didn’t gain, Continue Reading
Weigh-in #11 – Surprise, Surprise
I weighed myself and was happy to see I lost 3.6 lbs, yay. I was super excited. I hate yo-yo-ing, but what am what do I to do? Just keep going forward. I am still eating meals from Weight Watchers, Smart Ones, and Healthy Choice, I’m really liking Healthy Choice a lot more, but Weight Watchers has some nice meals too, Smart Ones continue to be a bit boring, but I can’t be too choosy right? I am now seeing more of a change in my body, which makes me so happy, I’ve come a long way to finally be here. Throughout my entire life, I had tried losing weight but was never able to achieve what I wanted and I didn’t understand why. I thought hmm maybe I have a thyroid problem, but it’s evident now, that is not the problem. It was obviously my eating habits. I am the kind of person that will put on weight immediately, which sucks big time. My Continue Reading
Weigh-in #8 – Still going strong!
I decided to begin post-dating my blog posts because sometimes I don’t have time to post an entry, although I should have made a habit of doing it, right after I weigh in, in the past, it has shown it doesn’t work that way, so I may post-date some of my posts like this one is from last week, week ending June 7, 2014.Last week was also a success, I’m happy to report. I lost 4.3 lbs, which made me happy and put me right at 300.7 lbs. I think I am doing good, but as most people would say, they wish it would happen faster. I just have to be patient, and it will happen. I have not started my walking regime, and the weather has been wonky, yeah again it sounds like an excuse but it’s really a reason for me. Especially because of my knee problems. I knew it would always be an issue, and it would never be like it was before the injury. Last Continue Reading
