Monday...Weigh In Day

Hey people's.....Today marks my 5th week...I did my Monday morning weigh in and I was nervous but also excited to see the results as last week was disappointing with only a .2lb loss after working my butt off....so the survey says..."225.0 lbs" that is a 4 lb loss for the week...YIPPIE...I think I told you before I was challenging myself to 30 Lbs in 90 days which started February 16th....I need to be 224.2 tomorrow morning....UGH I am not sure if it will happen but we will see...I will not be utterly disappointed if I don't hit it since I am .8Lbs away from my goal and if I don't it will make me work harder for the next 30 day weigh in...so stay tuned to see if tomorrow I am able to say I did it.............

Today proved that is not always in the numbers I can start to feel my clothes fit a little different and I can see a difference when I stand naked in front of the mirror....that is not a sight to see let me tell you.....Tomorrow will mark my 30th day...this is the longest I have maintained my weight loss effort....I am going to measure myself tomorrow..I wish I had already done that but did not think about it...I am also going to take a pic...not one that I can put on here but I will take my one month picture so I will come up with something to post on the site....

I was not in the mood to eat but I did since I know my body needs the fuel to keep it going..I had the following:
1 multi grain english muffin with 1 tsp of peanut butter
3 slices of turkey bacon
1 blueberry dannon lite and fit yogurt

For lunch I went to the mall to pay some bills, bought some birthday gifts for my daughter and decided to get a subway sandwich..I walked passed a pizza shop and I said ummmmm....that is my favorite, if I could splurge on one thing it would be a pizza with extra cheese, pepperoni and hamburger....YUMMY...but I told myself nope keep on going to Subway.....needless to say I was very disappointed in my sandwich..I generally order the same sandwich as I am not a big sandwich person...Turkey and American cheese on 6" Honey Oat with L, T, O, Green Bell Pepper and Honey Mustard. I always ask if the bread is soft...if it is soft I like to enjoy the freshness and would opt out of having it toasted...if it is not so fresh I like it toasted so I can't tell that my bread is a little hard....so I asked the question and the server tells me it is soft...of course I say don't toast it then.....I tried to make it a combo with water and apples..they tell me they are out of both...I said see that is very annoying since I am trying to forgo having the chips.....so in my frustrated nature I say I will just take the sandwich......I get back to the office and bite into it and the bread was FREAKIN HARD....what did the guy not understand regarding is the bread soft or hard...SHEESH...some peoples children.....he need reprimanded and so does the person who thought it was not important enough to have a back up of apples and water....and they wonder why we make bad choices....ha ha had to blame my issues on someone else...that is the reality of most over weight people...EXCUSES!!

I decided before leaving for work this morning that I was not in the mood to cook when I got home. I went to Boston Market and got a Family Dinner...Roasted Chicken..yummy, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans and macaroni and cheese.....I ate some chicken breast...4 curl macaroni noodles, green beans and sweet potato casserole...I should have probably left the casserole alone but I think I deserved a little bit....it was not going to kill me....that is my Boston Market weakness....sweet potato casserole....I savored every spoon full.

Aria (my 5 year old daughter) and I did the Jillian Michael DVD and along with doing Level 1 we incorporated half of Level 2...when I first started i thought Level 1 was bad....well Level 1 does not have anything on Level 2....man it feels like starting all over again....I wont move on to Level 3 until I am comfortable doing both levels which turns it into a 40 minute workout.....

My daughters birthday is coming up on April 1st and my first thought is I will be able to have a slice of pizza...since that is my weakness if it is not a Lean Cuisine pizza I wont eat it and even then I don't want to make that a normal thing to eat Lean Cuisine or not....so she expressed that we haven't had pizza in a while...I said I know I am trying to lose weight and if it is around I know I am not ready to say no....I promised her i would allow her pizza the day of her birthday party which will be on April 5th. My daughters went from a traditional every Friday pizza day to none at all...So the day of the party I will indulge in a slice of pizza but make sure I eat a salad as well...and of course a cupcake...well maybe a half of cupcake...or maybe I will skip it all together since I am having the slice of pizza....we will see I will keep you posted....LOL
