WW and Three Doors Down Concert


So, tonight was a blast! Randy had such a good time :) He looked like a little kid all excited :)..Anywho, we got lawn tickets and we picked a good spot. Unfortunately, you get the ones who like to smoke weed up there also and it's really hard to breathe!! You'd think with the wind it'd be okay, but no, it stunk and stunk bad. I have never ever smoked weed (and never will) and the smell was horrible!!! I had a deep down gut feeling that we should move and about 1/4 of the way into the Three Doors Down concert I said, "Randy, let's go now!". We move down to the end of the hill right at the walkway at DTE Energy Theater and stood for it and the smell was gone!! Randy got irritated at me because I was complaining so much about it and it kinda put him in a bad mood. But I really couldn't take that smell any longer :(. We found out it was right behind us a little bit up when we were on the lawn. Anywho, we're standing there for about 2 songs and this guy and girl come up to us and said, "Do you want these?" and she points down to where they were sitting. I said, "Are you giving them away?", she says, "We're leaving, here...". OMG, they were like 27 rows up in the pavilion.....my gut instinct turned into something great!!! Don't you just love it when that happens?? Randy's mood improved right away and he got to see his favorite band up close :) That made me happy too.

And, here's the food for today...I dipped into my weekly 35, but it was worth it...I ate the Pizza for dinner at like 5:45 pm and the McD's at 11:45 pm ....so yea..I was hungry!

It was really a great food day for me. I thought it could have been way worse. Sure, I used some of my weekly points, but I can right?! Of course I can :) I love Weight Watchers :)

After looking at it, it's like a maintenance day for me if I was counting cals :) so yay!

Changes


Buckcherry is my favorite rock band and yes, that's a picture of them at Crue Fest a couple weeks ago :)

If any of you know me as well as Randy does, then you would know that I change my mind on everything if I'm not happy with it lol. Yes, I've changed my mind yet again on weight loss. This is really hard for me to write about because once I write it down, I have to stick to it. At least that's the point of sticking to something you care about. Anyways, I feel like I have all this freedom with food choices when I count calories that I'm not picking the best food to help me lose weight. Counting calories is awesome and I recommend it to everyone, but I think I need to take another step back (AGAIN) and try something that I know works.

Weight Watchers.

Now, how many times have I said that I'd do this?!?!? And, how many times did I fail?!?!?! Every time I say that I will do Weight Watchers, I end up doing it for 1 day and 1 day only saying it's too hard and I quit. I feel like a quitter and I feel like I'll never reach my weight loss goal. Lately, I've been feeling down about my food choices and I need a big CHANGE!!

I will stick with it for more than 1 day and I will add 5 extra points due to the 35 weekly points outside of your dailies. We'll see how it goes for 1 week....that's how long I'm giving myself lol.

I will start Monday...take care :)

UGH!

179.5 lbs today...WTF?!?!

I think I know why I'm up. Going from eating barely nothing in the beginning of the week to eating normal again messed me up. I added bread (like I normally eat) and my weight came up a tad lol. I'm okay with it because I know it's my normal food. Gonna count my calories today and measure my food to see if I see a loss soon :)


Today's food wasn't that bad. If you look a few days down below you'll see the same things I ate today because I had to work so it was work food. I had 3 Fruit Punch Icees though which was really bad lol.

Tomorrow is a new day. I have to work, but I'll play what I'll eat :)

Learning How To Read Sheet Music...

I have known for a while how to read it, but it was back in elementary school when I learned it lol. So I went online and found some free sheet music that I'm using for my keyboard and it's so much fun. I'm really slow right now, but I'll get better. I'm trying to use both hands, but right now I'm focusing on just my right hand lol.

Here's my food for today :)
  • Breakfast
    • shredded wheat cereal (170 cals)
    • strawberries
    • splenda packet
    • skim milk (90 cals)
  • Lunch
    • Kerby Melt w/ sour cream from Kerby's Koney Island (dunno)
    • water (1/2 glass)
  • Dinner
    • easy mac (230 cals)
    • peas
    • 2 ff hot dogs w/ ketchup (little bit) (100 cals)
  • Snack
    • small bag of whoppers :) yum (280 cals)
If the Kerby Melt was 600 cals...(which it's probably less than that..) then I'm under 1600 again :) I did so good today too!!! :)

I'm going back to staying under my cals and just eating normal food. The 3 days that I ate practially nothing, I almost starved to death lol. I felt like I wasn't eating and I felt miserable. I will lose my weight at my own pace thanks :)
