September 13, 2008

Today's pick-me-up: I read this in the latest issue of Weight Watchers magazine:

If you feel down about losing "only" a quarter pound when you weigh in, open your refrigerator, pull out one stick of butter and say to yourself: This much, in pure fat, is GONE from my body!!"

It sure did make me smile and remember that even the seemingly smallest of losses is a good loss!!

Here is a picture of that butter:




Workouts:
its house cleaning today folks... i vacuumed the entire house, and mopped it too, put away the dishes, wiped down the fridge, countertops, table, cleared off the table...
and STILL worked out for 45 minutes! WAYW 3 Miles. Yahoo!

Breakfast:
1 whole wheat bagel with chive and onion cream cheese. Just a tad.

Lunch:
some leftover tomato pesto chicken noodle stuff, 1 slice rye bread with a smidge of butter and some garlic, yum, side salad with Romaine lettuce and light Italian dressing.

Dinner:
okay, here it goes... i will say the things i ate and tell why they are a victory in many ways compared to the "old" me...
  • 3/4 a Polish sausage (old me would have had a whole one) with brown mustard
  • 1/4 cup potato salad (old me would have had more AND then some macaroni salad, too)
  • 1 double stuf oreo (definitely eat way more)
  • 2 chips ahoy cookies (usually eat WAY more)
  • a thin slice of poppy seed cake (very very delicious)
  • less than 1/2 cup of cookies and cream ice cream (stop with whatever came out on the first scoop)
  • a small bit of soft pretzel (my own homemade ones!)
What I did NOT eat for dinner (of which I am very proud):
  • Nutella and croissants
  • Macaroni salad
  • ANY chips
  • more than one small serving of anything
  • no soda (had flavored water)
Okay, so a lot of sugar, but I need to sleep tonight anyway, so that slump should kick in reeeal soon.


Dessert/snacks:
1 8 oz glass sangria, no ice, 1 100-cal package of beef jerky, a few sips of moms sangria, a bite of homemade pretzel.

Water:
check!

Daily Vitamins:
