day 2

so yesterday apparantly went great. i stayed on plan, drank my 4 bottles of water and the scale showed me the love this morning. down to 178.8. not enough to get the dress done up, but still great success. hopefully i see the numbers go down alot over the next couple days. my goal is to get that dress done up by friday.

today my day went like this:
bfast - chocolate chocolate chip banana muffin with a tea (3pts)
snack - nature valley apple cobbler bar and another tea (2pts)
lunch - sandwich thin (1pt) with 1/2 c egg beaters (1pt)
snack - 100 calorie slimfast chocolate caramel bar (2pts)
dinner- 9 ravioli (4) spag sauce (1) cheese (3) breadstick (3)

tonights snack will be weight watchers kettle corn and a bottle of water. this will put me at 23 points and 3 bottles of water in. just need to fit one more in before the night is out. will also be playing 1 hour of just dance on the wii again. it was lots of fun and im sure it helped with the scale.

a new start...

so today was officially day one of me being back on plan. i NEED this week to go well so that i can get in that dress with no alterations needed. this *should* be enough to keep me motivated... at least it was today.

so this morning i get on the scale. it reads 182.2 (holy crap!!) i weighed a bit lower on a friends scale (180.2) but since this is the scale thats going to be used the most this is what i'll go with. hopefully alot of these pounds will be flushed out quickly by simply upping my water (ive been nowhere near my 8 glasses lately)

I'm allowed 23 points.  my day went like this:

breakfast   chocolate chocolate chip banana muffin (3pts) with a cup of tea (0pts)
snack        watermelon (1pt) <although i dont think food should be counted but w.e.>
lunch         arnolds sandwich thin (1pt) with 1/2c eggbeaters (1pt) and 1 slice cheese (1pt)
                 yoplait light yogurt (2pts)
snack        100 calorie slimfast chocolate mint bar (2pts)
dinner       Asian chicken drumsticks (5pts) 1/2c noodles (3pts) corn on the cob (1pt)

this leaves me with 3 pts left for weight watchers caramel apple popcorn tonight
(but only after a game of just dance on the wii for exercise)

AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

So not only did i stop posting, but i also stopped dieting. bad bad idea.

I went with my girls shopping for bridesmaids dresses on July 9th. Now, almost 1 month later the dresses are in and I cant do mine up!!!!! I cant freaking believe it! In just 3 weeks is the wedding.

Starting tomorrow morning i am back on plan following weight watchers, my hope is to lose 5 lbs this week which will hopefully be enough to get my dress done up. Otherwise i'm going to have to go this weekend and have it let out which i really really really dont want to do. In the event i do get it done up it will keep me motivated enough to stay on plan for at least the next 3 weeks so this doesnt happen again.

wish me luck!

(my first "diet" recipe is baking now. Skinnytaste's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. Since i follow the old plan these are only 3 points and perfect to go with my morning tea. Cant' wait to try them!)

only mine are glaze less cus i used up all my icing sugar making cupcakes for DD2's birthday this weekend.

weigh in day!

so i havent really been posting much lately, but really the only thing that changes daily is my dinner. i've been really good about sticking to my plan and am really proud of myself. especially today. weigh in day. today i weighed in at 173.4 pounds thats a LOSS of 5.4 pounds after being on plan for 7 days. i am so happy! if i can keep this up i'll be right where i want to be in only 5 or 6 weeks. I really hope the upcoming weeks i lose as much and this wasnt a one time deal. its definately enough to keep me motivated to keep going.

so here's what my plan is for today.

breakfast - chocolate shake
lunch - 1 pc of bread w/pb and brownie meal replacement bar (i didnt eat morning snack)
snack - special k crisps 100 cal snack
dinner - hot dog. maybe 2.
snack - 100 calorie skinny cow chocolate truffle ice cream bar. (really excited to try these)

sf day 4 (wed)

im running out of things to say aside from posting my food so i'll just get to that for now.

breakfast - slimfast french vanilla shake
snack - banana
lunch - slimfast meal replacement bar - chocolatey cookie dough
snack - chocolate cheerios bar (similar to a rice krispie square but with chocolate cheerios)
dinner - 3 mini burgers with coleslaw
snack - individual skinny cow chocolate brownie ice cream cup (FREE! and 150 cal)

so proud of myself for sticking to it and cant wait to see the number on the scale on Sunday!

its harder to post with DH home in the evenings so i missed coming on yesterday. still staying strong with my slim fast diet. im determined to stick to it an entire week to see how much weight i lose. just going to take it one week at a time.

snack - banana
lunch - slim fast meal replacement bar (chocolately cookie dough)
snack - special k bar (chocolately crunch)
dinner - 1 1/4 c smart pasta with tomato sauce, gr chicken, green peppers and 1 slice garlic toast
