Welcome

Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.

Tamzins Double Dog Dare You Ticker!

My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

One foot in front of the other

Blarg... I'm having a tough couple weeks. Pulled up my socks, well packed them up and took them to the office - had a weights workout on Monday and then managed to get in a walk after work today.

Slowing slipping into better habits again.

The M&M bug struck again today - luckily no cash helped me with that battle. I now have a full can of diet coke in my desk drawer. Whenever I have a craving for it I just pull the drawer open - look at it and that pretty much does it for me! ha! Funny how the brain works.

Slowly plodding ever onwards! Water is getting better as well.

Wednesday...here I come!

WI today - 293.4lbs

Better!!

Right....We had a friend in town tonight from the big D and we had ... of course... dinner plans.

HOWEVER TODAY...... I ate LOTS of good healthy food in the daytime and at dinner was not that interested/starving! Between the three of us we shared 1 appy. and I had a beautiful Butternut Squash arugula salad with pumpkin seeds and lime vinaigrette. SO delicious. We all shared a strawberry scone for dessert. I have to say - I feel REALLY AWESOME about taking control of my eating out - to enjoy it, and also to manage my intake. I got some sweet, some fatty, but I ate a great salad and LOVED it. Hurray!

Finished inputting all my info and I am under calories and that feels pretty darn good.

I've not done great at water today - trying to get some more in. And tomorrow is Friday Food Frenzy... however its my turn to bring something - egg white, asparagus, red onion mini (muffin sized) frittats. :) I can't wait.

Also - to delve into the TMI region of things.

I got my period today finally after about 7 weeks of waiting. I had to go off the pill - NOT trying to get preggers (everything to do with not having HC in the 2 months of time that I am uninsured between leaving Canada and getting covered at the office here and I refused to pay $200 for a check up to then have to pay for 2 months of pills - my gawds I'm cheap!). So, anyway, currently the hubby and I are on an "all oral program"! LOL Great for me - and I do love to put stuff in my mouth!! HAHAHA!! Anyway - feeling bloated and ug, so that has a lot to explain it.


This mornings weigh in - 292.6

Fatal Flaw....

right....its bed time and I just got in the door and have been out since I left for work this morning at 7.30am....this has been one long ass day.

I knew that I had an appointment with our accountant right after work to discuss my taxes as they are going to be complicated this year - with immigration, foreign property owner, etc etc...

I ate REALLY well today, but knew that I was going to be eating dinner out post accountant meeting and then spending the evening with friends at the coffee shop.

Fatal Flaw in planning.... instead of eating more in the day of my foods, I knew that I would be eating out so made sure to reserve calories... instead, I was famished and over ate at the dinner out ... and then since I was already in "shove food in my face" mode, we got to the coffee shop and I had a muffin and a latte. I am over on calories today by 600. Damn....

Need more water today as well.

This mornings weigh in was good - back down - 289.8lbs.

right - bed time - tomorrow morning is going to come fast!
