Uggh - Ate Too Much

This is the first time that I have felt over-full in 2 months.  And its on veggies :)

I followed all of the serving sizes faithfully, but still couldn’t finish my dinner.  Who knew that cauliflower could be so darn filling!!

Cooked a fantastic recipe that was recommended by my eldest daughter.  She’s amazing, and I hope that someday, I can do what’s she done.

Reblog if you've never seen yourself thin.

I’m pretty sure I was a fat baby and stayed that way.  The only time that I ever remember thinking that I was even close to being thin was just after high school graduation - size 9.  It didn’t last long and I never felt healthy.

Gotta Love a Good Workout!

Feel great today after doing the circuit at PF.  I up’d all my weights, and really pushed myself.  I saw my hubby jogging in place at one point, and OH NO, that just wouldn’t do…

so I starting jogging laps around the outside of the circuit.  Got in two complete laps 2 times.  Doesn’t sound like much, but trust me, for ME, it is a LOT!  And its a start.

I also took my measurements for the first time today.  I’m probably not going to take them every week, but more like every month.  I’m pretty sure I’ve loss inches so far, but since I didn’t take them in the beginning, I can only go by how my clothes feel - and they are starting to feel better. :)

Spectacular Sunday Weigh-In

Week #8

Starting Weight:280

Last Week: 268.2

Sunday 7/31/11: 264.8

Change: -3.4

Total Loss to Date: 15.2 LBS :)

HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE, HAPPY DANCE!!!! This is so amazing to me!  I have to admit, I was a little concerned that vacation week would catch up with me this week, and even though I was really good this week, I would have a gain or a smaller loss because it was because of vacation week. 

This is good. And Spectacular!

According to my friends who have gotten through, Pottermore site hasn't changed yet.

This came from two different friends, one in England, one here in Florida, and they don’t know each other so I doubt they’re trying to trick me (not that they ever would, either.)

My reaction:

The picture makes this one of the best posts I’ve seen in a while!!!

“I’m so sick of weight-loss shows. I’m sick of people coming out and revealing new bodies and then belittling the old bodies they once had, bodies that some of us possess. Contrary to popular belief, being fat doesn’t mean you hate yourself, it doesn’t mean you lack self-respect, it doesn’t mean you deserve to be humiliated, degraded, ignored, and dehumanized; it doesn’t mean you’re ugly or stupid or worthless, but that’s how society wants us to feel and I’m just sick of it. If I’m not dieting, if I’m not spending every moment of my life counting calories and apologizing for the size of my body; if I’m not taking the abuse and the punishment and the cruel looks and the hateful words, if I actually dare to accept myself, then I’m crucified. I’m sick of living in a world that tells me on a constant basis that I am not good enough, that if I just lose weight I will be worthy of the conditional love it has to offer. I don’t want any part of a world like that. I will fight that world and, in it’s place, I will create a new world, one that is my own, one that is made of art and poetry and feminism and compassion and intelligence and pleasure and love, love for myself and love for others, love that has no conditions and no limits, love that too many of us are denied.” —A Drowning Woman: Being Fat (via crossingtheasymptote)

Back to Work (and workout)

First day back at work today after our vacation and we were back in the gym tonight.  My tendonitis has calmed down and I was able to do the circuit tonight.  Came home and iced the elbow as a preventative measure!

I’m still basking in the glow of the fact that I gained less than a pound while on vacation.  This tells me that I’m starting to get it — starting to understand what an appropriate portion size is and what alternatives are available to the high-fat diet that I used to eat.

I am bothered by one thing - why now? What is making this time different? 

Will it last?

Let's Talk WW Eggos and Nutella

In my opinion, this is possibly the absolute best use of 7 WW+ Points known to man/woman… seriously.

1 - Eggo Nutri-Grain WW Waffle

1/2 Banana (only because a whole one won’t fit!)

1 - TBSP Nutella

Toast, slice, spread, eat.

I suggest eating this at home, but if you want to be daring like me, you can eat it in the car.  Granted, you will need to check your mirror carefully before being seen in public due to the likeliness that you will have Nutella somewhere on your face.  Lacking a mirror?  Wear dark lipstick and no one will notice! :)
