week 9...

Here is a quick recap of week 9.

Exercise: 4 days.

Water: not enough.

Points tracking: 3 days.

Pigging out: 2 days.

Weight loss: 1 pound.



We celebrated my family Christmas on my dad's side this weekend, so the weekend wasn't the best for eating. Friday night we had egg salad sandwiches and Pringles in the car on the way up. Exciting I know. I've decided egg salad definitly isn't my favorite, but it works for Lent and abstaining from meat on Fridays, especially if we're in the car!


Saturday we had a good breakfast, bran muffins, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Lunch we had potato and corn chowder...yum! And club sandwiches. Then some snacks later on in the day. And for dinner we had lasagna, salad and garlic toast.

Sunday morning before Mass we had butterbraid and orange slices. For brunch we feasted on my grandparent's famous buttermilk pancakes, baked ham, toast, and eggs. So it was definitly a pigout weekend! Plus I had a couple regular Dr. Peppers and a couple screwdrivers.



I was just happy to see a loss this morning! :)

Week 8 recap...

Well, week didn't go so well. I gained a little over two pounds. We've had a rough patch at our house the last two weeks. First were the fevers that the kids both had and then last week, everyone was throwing up and had diahrea with the exception of me! So after taking care of everyone all day, with the exception of Kevin, who took care of himself, by staying in bed! I was way too exhausted to workout and now I'm paying my dues today with my weigh-in. I didn't eat a whole lot last week, I was too busy with everyone to have time to think about eating a lot. Then yesterday, lovely AF arrived and I think that may be part of my weight gain. I feel so bloated and water logged that I'm hoping that's where some of my gain came from! I just can't seem to get below 155#. At least I'm staying below 160#, which should be my goal for the time being! I've also been slacking in the water department thses days. I need to get better about drinking my water. I use to be so good about it! I find I do better during the week when I'm at work than I do at home.



As I type this, I've given into my cravings and am eating a frozen swiss cake roll. Kevin ran to the grocery store for me this morning before work to get laundry soap and he came back with a box of Swiss Cake Rolls as well. He said "Since you have your period, I thought you may like some comfort food" Thanks dear! It was a sweet thought however, and obviously I gave in!



Like I always say, it's a new week!
