planning a productive Saturday

Woke up and had a grapefruit: 2pts

Gotta walk the dogs soon...

then I want to make a good breakfast, a little treat from the usual cereal and milk I have every other day.

2 piece of bread: 3
egg and white: 2
syrup: 1

7 pts total

After breakfast, I'll go home to bike and hit the PO.

And the Sara's shooting Bear this afternoon.

Healthy dinner tonight; fish tacos??

Update:
Got back from my house a while ago. Great workout; lots of activity so far today... awesome!

Pretzel snack: 2

9pts

pasta: 4
squash: 2
oil: 3
cheese: 1

19 pts so far....

Estimate for dinner

tortillas: 3
scallops: 3
avo: 3
oil: 1

10 pts...

that's 29 total for the day, leaving a few for a snack, wine or dessert. What's it going to be???

crackers and wine: 4

33 pts

gonna have a pudding, too... needs something sweet: 2

35 pts total

TGIF

I am up soooo ridiculously early... dogsitting will do that to you. I figured I could take advantage of the extra time planning my day. Yay!

Cereal w/ milk: 2
banana: 1
bar: 2

chili w/ broccoli and goat cheese: 6
pretzels: 4

15 pts so far

Not biking today, but def will tomorrow. Took the dogs on a long walk... felt good.

Ok, wine and cheese night got a little out of hand, but not toooo bad. In the past I would have had all the wine and cheese AND had a big dinner later. There was really no dinner at all last.... Sara and I snacked a bit when we got back, but nothing major.

Wine: 9 pts
crackers: 6

cheese: 10

40 pts total

Over, but not by much, condsidering I did go on a long walk.

Feeling great - a new week!

Ok, new plan here. NO MORE EATING ACTIVITY POINTS. Once I get close to 200 maybe I'll consider it, but now is the time for hardcore action. And the past two months have been a great experience in curbing my appetite and controling my thoughts.

Good day so far (sort of):

cereal: 4
banana: 1

fruit/pastery: 2

yogurt/oats: 4

chili: 5

16 pts so far.

15 left for dinner... make a big salad!

I'm heading to Steph's to dogsit tonight and will definitely be taking a lot of my own food.

Good workout on the bike!

I've had some random stuff to tack on to the 16 pts

one bite of cake: 3?
chips/other random: 2

21 pts.

salad: 3

24 pts.

pretzels/chips: 3
pb pretzels: 2

29 pts

scallops: 3
sweet potato: 1
fennel:0
arugula/lemon:0
oil: 2
35 pts total

skinny cow: 2

ice cream: 4

41 pts.

Damn, so much for not eating AP's! Even with those I went over a few points... definitely should NOT have eaten the ice cream. Damn it, Kelly! Only eat when hungry!!!

Middle of night eating... yikes

I woke up at 2:30 in the morn, unable to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking of food, recipes and how hungry I was. Finally at 4:30 I gave in and had a banana and piece of string cheese. I suppose I should count that for today, huh?

Late night snacks: 4

breaky: 4

random snacking: 4

damn, 12 pts already and I haven't even had lunch yet. Well, due to WW this evening, I'll probably eat a very minimal lunch anyway. I'm pretty stoked to weigh in today... def feels like I've lost more weight. OH yeah, I CAN BUTTON MY FAVE PAIR OF JEANS AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Damn, that felt freaking fantastic.

Still unsure of a food plan for the rest of the day... may end up eating the rest of the leftoverS. May or maynot bike. I like to take Wednesday's off from exercise, but i may get up on it anyway to get the heart pumping. We already went on a pretty sweet walk this morning; got stuck in the rain though.

Ok, off to shower and present!

Update: Gained 1.8! WTF???!!!

Oh well, onward and upward I suppose. I just made an amazing veggie chili... Dayna's winning recipe.

banana w/ pb: 3

more random crap: 5

bar: 2

chili: 6

28 pts so far

Got a bit of bike in... burned about 150 cals. Not bad for Wednesday!

Good job, Kelly. keep it up; the scale will reflect your efforts soon enough. remember those jeans!

Tuesday

Another day with lots to do... got up and took Lucy for a long with morn, so I feel pretty on top of shit. What a great way to start the day!

Breaky as usual:

cereal w/ milk and berries: 4

snack: leftovers: 8

lunch: pasta:4
cheese: 2
veggies/vin: 0
oil: 2

20 pts so far, damn!

Ok, lunch was revised... I shaved five points off by making soup and toast for a mere THREE points...

so, that's a 17 pt total for today so far. I'm not going to eat my activity pts today. I have 15 left for dinner, which I'll be eating very lightly.

Pasta: 5
Oil: 2
Cheese: 3
veggies: 0
vinager: 0

That leaves enough for a glass of vino!! 3 pts there, which only puts me at 28 pts, w/o using Activity points!

Maybe I have the ability to eat like a normal person afterall. Yeah, we'll see about that.

Self promise from earlier today: Must workout and have a light, light supper.....

Monday Monday

It's a rainy Monday here... and I'm having a difficult time convincing myself to walk Lucy. Maybe a 40 minute bike ride instead? We'll cross that bridge when we get there, since I'm totally exhausted from yet another night w/ less than six hours of sleep. Must invest in better earplugs- this is getting ridic.

Cereal w/ berries: 4

SO: 4

8 pts so far

I'm making Ty dinner tonight. Honey-ginger chicken w/ baby bok choy and asparagus. Hopefully they're ok with brown rice... but I can be flexible and eat white I suppose :)

I'm starving right now but need to hit the road for another presntation. Dentist at 3:00 as well. Busy day.

Ok, my entire afternoon/evening is canceled... taking a nap instead and NOT feeling guilty about it.

OSCAR DAY

I'm so excited for Steph's party tonight... mainly because I'm pumped to actually watch the Oscars since I've seen so many of the movies.

All the food and booze will be a little tricky.

Cereal w/ banana, blueberries and milk: 5

I already on an awesome walk this morning and will definitely ride the bike before I head over to Steph's.

Lunch plan:

Soup: 2

Drinks: 9
Sliders: 8
Cheese: 5
Crackers: 3
Random: 5
Cake/Ice Cream: 7
Samosa: 4

Ok, probably somewhere between 40 and 50 for the day... Not bad, not bad..... I'm happy with that, considering the alternative. And I never felt overly full at the party. And of course, I'm hoping that I overestimated. Tomorrow is healthy dinner night with Ty... shouldn't be a probably. No more drinking until weigh-in!

This afternoon I want to do my usual favorite activity of hiking salad rolls to the top of Mt. Tabor. Fun! Oh, I also need to get my brows waxed. And I need to go to the post office. Not much else going on though, which is nice since I may be sick. Or salmon poisoned. We'll see I guess.

Planning another day

Well, besides the piece of chocolate, animal cookies, and extra bite of pizza last night (my guilt forcing me to acknowledge this), I think yesterday was pretty great. I didn't do to much activity, but the walk was great. Back on the bike today. It feels great to be done with my assignments.

Anyway, I'm trying to effectively plan my day so I make sure to get it all in...

Ok, I realize I didn't finish posting food from yesterday. I ended drinking the remainder of my points at Mint and the Wonder. I did have one of the best drinks ever, though, at Mint (Dragon Milk, a creamy sake drink, mmmmmm), so it was worth it. We split a ceasar and fried prawns (I only had to prawns). I gave Steph the grilled bread. Good work, Kelly!

My hard work paid off this week, as I lost over 3 pounds again! I'm almost to 15 since the new year... pretty stoked about it.

Not sure what's for dinner yet, but I'm going to keep it on the light side. Gotta stay low in points until Steph's Oscar party. Yeehaw.

Love you, Kelly! You deserve this.

where did Friday go?

Well damn, yesterday was busy... I barely had time to breath.

I figured points and determined that any of the food I ate at Tabla was extra points... and unfortunately I have no idea how many. The good thing is that we shared everything, so I definitely didn't stuff myself or anything. I will have to consider that my big night out though. I was going to go to Kent and Steph's for ribs tonight, but I think I'll lay low at Amanda's and watch the dogs and knit and catch a movie and make a healthy dinner. Maybe Nick will want to join in........

home

I'm home but definitely want to move.

I was annoyed yesterday because I tracked all of my points, but it didn't save. I think I only was about 10 over, which wasn't too bad.

As for today, I tracked my points earlier on paper and figure I have about 15 or 20 left for the day. I'll have to be careful at HH w/ Missy. NO beer at the Blazers game.

UPDATE: LOST THREE POUNDS AT WW!!

To celebrate we went to Rock Bottom Brewery downtown and to the Blazers game, which was an f'ing blast!

We split the sliders and hummus plate. I also had a pint of the lightest beer they make. Then had some gummy bears and a tiny piece of chocolate at the game. NOT BAD!! I'm not in the mood to figure points, but at least I tracked everything today. I'll get back to the points tomorrow. But for now I'm going to celebrate passing under the 250 # mark. Feels so good.

will be glad when today is over

Nice, Kelly.

At least you tracked it all... but still, not cool. Especially after last night and that talk you had with Megan. If you can't get control, nothing will ever change for you. Start practicing control every minute of the day. Tomorrow will be a no booze day. Actually, no more booze til weigh-in.

Guilt

So after dinner last night I went a little out of control. I opened some pasta leftovers and dug in with a fork. And I also had some chocolate. In reality, it probably wasn't THAT many points, but still. It was a fabulous example in losing control. Today my goal is to stay in control every minute of the day. I have a lot to do: Hike, work stuff, vet, return stuff to Steph's, exercise, homework etc.

UPDATE: Wow, just got back from a hike, and it's painfully beautiful outside. Too bad the remainder of things on my to-do list don't involve being out there. I may have to hurry and get them done so I can catch some rays.

I can't believe it's Friday again.

I'm meeting with the bosses and coworkers today, but will probably opt out of drinking/eating with them. Didn't get a real workout in yesterday or the day before. I did go on some nice long walks with Lucy though. Back in action on the bike tonight. I also wnat to try a new recipe tonight.

She is enough of a badass woman... I know she'll be ok.
