Weigh In Day

OMG!! I lost 3 lbs this week :)

I am now 186 lbs :)

Today went so well. I was hungry when I left the house for the mall, but I curbed my cravings while I went shopping for a bathing suit top. I will show my side view because I have stitches on my chest from a skin biopsy. It's really cute though.



I would show the front view but like I said, I have something there lol. Anyways.....I had fun with Randy and my fiance at the park today and at the mall. My diet went very well. I ended up with a total of 25 points so I'm right on target :) Here's a cute pic of us at the park for a fair :).


Well it's time for bed because the 3 1/2 day weekend is over :( I go back to school tomorrow for student teaching. On Wednesday I'll be at the Middle School observing the math classes so I'm really looking forward to that :)

Have a great week!!

Diet Update

Well things have been going extremely well! I am losing weight!! So happy about that.

It seems like on Sundays I get really depressed.....it's really weird.

So tomorrow is my weigh in day :) Wish me luck!

Right about now is when I stop my diet and binge on food. Well, I have not found that I want to do that because I'm eating all the foods I love in moderation. I keep having these really good days where I'll be like, no I can't have a Taquito today (from 7-11) because I had one yesterday. I like doing that because that's what healthy people do. They have extremely good food in moderation.

I had saved my 35 extra points for the grad party on Friday night and we ended up having pizza :) I weighed on Friday morning just to see what I was and then on Sat morning I was lower than Friday :) That pizza had nothing on me!! I am doing so well :)

Although, the past 2 days I have been extremely hungry!!! I think it's from Friday night's pizza and crackers....... I'm handling it very well by going all the way up to my points (26) instead of the 20-23 I usually go to. So, I'm still doing well.

I hope tomorrow's weigh in goes even better :)

Day Before Weigh In

Yep, that's right. Tomorrow is my weigh in. I hope I lose. I don't think I'll gain at all :) I am however going to be on my period this week so I might gain water weight......but I'm not sure.

Today was such a busy day. I printed out certificates for all my students because they just completed a new math book this year (connected math) and they deserve the credit! I also just made a thank you card for a student because she bought me a bookmark that says Teacher on it :) How cute?!

Okay back to my diet. I am doing so well! Yesterday, I had a lot of opportunities to stray from healthy eating when we went to 7-11 and when Randy's dad bought pizza. I went home to get my food and came back to his place to eat my food. I did so good!

Here's to a great week :)

Wonderful Week

This week has gone so well! I have been doing Weight Watchers for just about one week and let me tell you how fabulous it is. My weigh in's are on Mondays so we'll see where I'm at, but I started at 192...again :(

Last night was our pizza night so we had that and then I had chips, but before dinner I was spot on like always.

I have eggs and toast for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and usually a box meal with some protein added for dinner. I'll have a snack after dinner and that's pretty much my whole day.

Weekends can be tough, but so far so good.

Oh and when I say I'm doing Weight Watchers, I'm doing it a little differently. How I'm doing it is that I believe that: 50 calories = 1 points value. I do not keep my tracker with me. I just assume that 50 cals = 1 pt. So, I will look at the label and do the math. If it's high in Fiber and low in fat cals then I'll go one point beneath the original. This is so much easier for me than having to be so strict with the "rules". I've done WW before and I'm not gonna go back to basics. I'm not doing the momentum plan either because I'm not attending meetings. I'm really on my own. No one prepares the meals for me but me! I'm responsible for what I make and eat and I have to be proud of what I eat. Does that make sense?

I'll be adding more photos like I did last year soon enough :) Have a wonderful weekend!

I Hate This...

I was doing so well and then I feel right off the wagon due to stress. I don't have a job that pays anything because of student teaching so right now I'm so stressed due to that. If I had an income, things would be so much better. Right now I only get about 5 dollars a week from my mom. That's it!! I mean she gives me gas money, but that goes in my tank lol. I know I'm lucky to even be at home and have a roof over my head, but c'mon.

I don't own any credit cards so it's not like I can just go to the store and buy food or clothes. I have to ask for money all the time and being 22 and not having an income makes me very depressed. I never thought that I could be THIS depressed......................ever!! I want to lose weight, but the drive isn't there because of my depression....

help me please....

Doing Awesome

Hey there. I wanted to share my daily plate menu with you all.

http://www.livestrong.com/profile/mellowyellow821/

That is where I track ALL of my food choices :) I'm pretty proud to say that I have stayed under 1500 calories since last Monday. On Friday it says that I only ate 642 and that is wrong. I ate a little bit under 1500 calories but I couldn't find my dinner food on the website. That day I did the calculations in my head and it turned out better than I expected. This was because I went to National Coney Island and ate a Hani....:) Yum!

Anywho, this week went extremely well and I have to say that I feel better about myself. I particularly do not feel good about myself today, but that's the depression talking I'm sure. I just woke up after a 2 hour nap and that's how my Monday's normally go.

This week I plan on having eggs and toast for breakfast. My cereal is good, but I want a lower calorie breakfast so it'll last me longer throughout the day. My lunches are still okay. I usually have a sandwich and some chips. This week I have been measuring out 1 oz of chips to take with me for lunch and it works, but I want to buy a lower calorie type of chip. I saw these new Late Night Jalapeno Popper chips and they were 150 cal for 1 oz. So good!!! My dinners consist of a salad and a smart one's meal such as the fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. So yummy!!! So all in all, I just plan on changing my breakfasts and my choice of chips. I think I'll do better this week.

Also, I feel like I'll lose inches before weight. Not sure, but I know the weight will come off gradually. I'm in no hurry to drop weight. I just want to make this a routine.
