Psmileyf's Journey

[Psmileyf]

160.7 this morning. I'm still pleased with it!
I ate out two meals yesterday. Big wings for lunch and a salad with blue cheese and then for dinner I ate spinach and artichoke dip (on cucumbers, not pitas), a crab cake and veggies...
So no suprise my weight would be up today. Plus I know yesterday was just too good to be true.

We are going away this weekend so I went out and bought some low carb snacks to take with us. I got olive, cheese, ring bologna and I am baking some chicken thighs. I can put them in a cooler...and I think the hotel has a smal fridge. If not, they have an ice machine so I can keep filling up the cooler!

Love your new avatar photo! You look fantastic.

161.6 this morning. Not too bad for 5 days a way!

[Psmileyf]

160.7 this morning! Headed in the right direction!

[Psmileyf]

161.6 this morning. Probably has something to do with the cadbury egg and two mocha iced coffees.

[Vilya]

Ha ha!

You're doing so great. I set my goal at 170, but maybe I will end up going lower, too!

[Psmileyf]

161.6 again this morning. Pretty happy with it.

I am making a spiral sliced ham today, devilled eggs, creamed cauliflower, and roasted asparagus today.
The cauliflower calls for breadcrumbs but I think I will leave them out.

I also made potato salad, but I don't like it, so I don't have to worry about eating it. I put onions and celery in it, so I won't even taste it. I hate onions and celery.

I am also making rolls, which might tempt me...but I can stay strong.

I just made jello for dessert. Jello doesn't even tempt me.
I didn't plan on having guests, but now I have 2 coming, so I feel like I should make a real dessert, but I am not going to...FIL is diabetic and my friend is not a big sweets person. He lives alone and has no family here, so he'll be happy just to have someone to eat with and someone to cook for him.

[Psmileyf]

I should have weighed the ham before I ate it.
I bet I ate at least a pound!

[Psmileyf]

163.7 this morning. UGH!

[Psmileyf]

161.8 this morning. Makes me feel a lot better. I still wish it was lower.

[Psmileyf]

I was sure I would gain at my weightloss group, but somehow I ended up losing 1/2 lb, putting me at 163.5.
I was at an event today out of the office so I had very little liquid and not a ton of food, so I guess that helped!

[Psmileyf]

Woke up this morning really wanting Atkins PB cups, so I had a pack. Then I felt bad and thought I should get them outta the house...so I ate the last pack so there would not be anymore! Bad way to start the day!

[Psmileyf]

Did about 5 hours of yardwork today so I guess that made up for the double dose of PB cups this morning...and for lunch I just ate 2 burger patties and cheese...so not too bad...

[Psmileyf]

160.9 this morning. I'm hoping for a good day...no more PB cups in the house, so it should be better!

[Psmileyf]

161.1 this morning, just slightly higher than yesterday morning.
Hoping for a good week!

[Psmileyf]

I have committed myself to push ups every day at 4:00 - right before I leave work. (We do them in the gym here at work.)
I also committed myself to 15 minutes of exercise every night this week. I think it will be yard work, picking up sticks, getting my garden ready. I ended up doing about 45 minutes last night when I set out to do 15 minutes...
I figure I can commit to anything for 15 minutes, but if I say 30 minutes it feels overwhelming...so I will start small.

[Psmileyf]

My daughter and I did about 20 minutes worth of exercise while we watered the garden...lots of leg kicks and touching of the toes...and some squats.
I also did a lot of push ups and now my arms are SORE!

[Psmileyf]

161.1 again.

[Psmileyf]

160.7

[Psmileyf]

160.3 today!
I weigh in tonight at my group. I lost last week which was a surprise, so I'll be happy to just stay the same this week.

[Psmileyf]

Bought PB cups on Wednesday. Ate the last pack this morning. Time for me to admit that I have no control when they are around. No more PB cups.

Thursday night at my weigh in I was up one pound. I'm getting used to the normal ups and downs.

Yesterday I had lunch with a friend. I saw her about 6 weeks ago and she did not say anything about my weightloss. Yesterday she asked me all about it. I think she might give it a try.

[Psmileyf]

I ate like crap yesterday and it shows. 162.2 this morning!

[Psmileyf]

Bought some awesome new summer clothes today. Size 8.
I noticed in the dressing room I have old lady knees now!

On Friday I did 25 push-ups. Feeling good about it. Going to work on them every day at 4:00 again this week!

[Psmileyf]

My new dresses

[Psmileyf]

160.7 this morning...

[Vilya]

Oh, I love that 2nd dress! You look great in all 3.

[Psmileyf]

161.1

[Psmileyf]

Set out to do 50 push ups today...not all at once, just do them, short break and do more until I got to 50. I ended up doing 89. It was about 10 minutes total...
My arms are like jelly now.

[Psmileyf]

I ate too many carbs this weekend. A bite here and there type of thing.
Today I am starving.
This sucks.

I have been clean eating all day long today!
