Pounds Lost this Week: -2.4 lbs
Pounds Lost to Date: -22.0 lbs
This is a 2 week result since I missed
last week’s weigh in due to vacation.
Not bad considering I allowed myself a few splurges on vacation (ice
cream once, a couple dinners out and some wine). I’ve also finally made it over the 20
pound hump that I had been teetering on for the past couple weeks. Wohooo!!! I tried to make good choices
while away and also took all the opportunities to stay active with yoga and
walking. I guess it paid off since I
didn’t gain anything.
Here’s this week’s dinner
menu. I decided to add the approximate
number of points also for added reference (it’s also on the recipe once you
click through on the link).
Sunday 3/24: Baked Chicken Thighs with Dijon & Lime (5 pts)
and sautéed squash (0 pts)
Monday 3/25: Slow Cooker
London Broil (6 pts) with steamed mixed vegetables (0 pts) Adapted from this recipe. Left out the potatoes &
halved some of the ingredients due to size of the meat I used.
Tuesday 3/26: Leftovers
(volleyball night)
Wednesday 3/27: Loaded Baked sweet potato (8pts)
Thursday 3/28: Taco
Thursday! (using ground turkey & whole grain shells ~6 pts) with fat free
spicy refried beans (2 pts)
Friday 3/29: Spicy shrimp fried rice (8pts)
Saturday 3/30:
Roasted whole chicken with rosemary and lemon (5 pts) with side of
steamed broccoli & garlic (0 pts)
One late night after work last
week, I was sorting through the mail and I came across an envelope stuck in-between
the birthday cards I was opening. I knew
right away what it was without even seeing a word written on it. Just from the way it looked I knew it had
those two little words stamped in red across the font. Those 11 letters we all dread... Jury
Summons. Mother f#?@!%.
The last time I got called was
over 13 years ago when I was in college out of state. I was excused from service back then so I've avoided it about as long as I'll ever be able to. I
guess that means you could call me a jury duty virgin since I’ve never ever
gone or served. I am due to report April 1 (if my number is called) so this
should be interesting... To be honest, the
‘Law & Order watching’ half of me kinda wants to be picked for a cool case,
but the ‘I have a life and don’t want to be sequestered for weeks away from my family’
half of me doesn’t. We'll have to wait and see what happens on April fools day ;-)

Considering what a bad girl I was
this weekend I’m calling this a huge WIN!
I turned thirty um...something this weekend and saved my weekly points
for splurging this weekend. I treated
myself to take out Friday night, a few cocktails and to a very nice brunch on
Sunday where I had a dessert that was definitely not WW friendly. I tried not to go too crazy, but I guess it
was just enough though to keep me from my average 2 lb loss. I’m just happy I didn’t gain! (although, would have been nice to make it
over that 20 lb hump)
I am leaving tomorrow to visit my
mom in Florida (she’s a snow bird) so no meal plan for this week. I am going to try and be a good girl on
vacation and to squeeze in some exercise in while I’m down there. They hold yoga on the beach every morning so I’m
going to try that out while I’m there. I
packed my work out clothes so if I packed them I have to use them, right?!?
update: I re-weighed myself this morning (I couldn’t
help myself) and I was down 3 lbs! I
guess I had that much bloat on me from the salt & booze. Hopefully I can keep that loss until my next
weigh after I get back.
Pounds Lost this Week: -2.0 lbs
Pounds Lost to Date: -19.2 lbs
I am very happy to be seeing the scale go down again this week. I’m soooo very close to 20. What a tease! Hopefully I can report in next
week that I have achieved this milestone.
While my pants are fitting big on me and I definitely see a change in
my face, it doesn’t feel like almost 20 lbs to me. I certainly need to start toning up now that
I’m starting to get into a better place.
With the weather getting warmer, hubby and I have resolved to getting
outside more and walking together. It
will be a bit difficult during the week with work, but I’m doing to discipline
myself on the weekends.
Here’s this week’s dinner
menu. So far I’d say there have been
more hits than misses with what I’ve cooked.
Another bonus that’s come out of this diet is that I’ve sharpened my
cooking skills and experimented with some new dishes I’ve never tried before.
Sunday 3/3: Nothing fancy.
Got a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket & paired it with some
salad
Monday 3/4: Slow cooker beef & broccoli
Tuesday 3/5: Leftovers
(volleyball night)
Wednesday 3/6: Spicy basil chicken with brown rice
Thursday 3/7: Sante Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers
Friday 3/8: Spicy shrimp fried rice
Saturday 3/9: Birthday
Dinner for hubby and I out with our little guy!

I was fully expecting to have no loss or even a gain this week since I
cheated so close to my weigh in day (Saturday & Sunday). Girls weekend away was such a great time but
I ate (& drank) my week’s worth of points ;) It was completely worth it though. Next week will be the true test since everything
I ate won’t show up until next Monday’s weigh in. Thankfully I have volleyball this week and
will try to fit in some extra exercising to balance myself out.
Here’s this week’s dinner menu
(only 1 recycle from last week since I had forgotten the squash needed to be
baked for 1 hr ahead of time so I scratched it last minute last week & will
remember to bake it Thursday night in prep for Friday)
Sunday 2/24: Leftovers
Monday 2/25: Slow Cooker Thai Chicken - this was ah-mazing. If you like Thai food I seriously suggest giving this a try. I added some hot sauce for a bit of kick.
Tuesday 2/26: Leftovers
(volleyball night)
Wednesday 2/27: Leftovers or something quick - we have
Kindergarten orientation this night (eeek!!)
Thursday 2/28: Taco
Thursday! (using ground turkey & whole grain shells) with fat free spicy
refried beans
Friday 3/1: Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese
Saturday 3/2: Chicken Francese - Lightened Up
Pounds Lost this Week: -3.2 lbs
Pounds Lost to Date: -16.2 lbs
I’ve made it past the 15 lb mark!
Sweet!! Like I said in a previous post,
I’m not counting down to a specific weight number per-say, but if I had to pick
a number I would choose to be back to my wedding weight (isn’t that what all dieting
married women say? LOL) I’ve made it halfway in only 6 weeks so I don’t
see why I couldn’t do this. The only bad
thing about my loss this week is that I also lost one of my daily points :( I have barely been touching my weekly points
or activity points that I earn so I’ll be fine and just dip into my weekly
points if I go over any day.
Here’s this week’s dinner menu
(reusing some of last week’s because I forgot about lent starting & had to
edit/substitute after I published last week.
Sunday 2/17: Chicken rollitini stuffed with zucchini &mozzarella - this was delicious!! Definitely going
on repeat.
Monday 2/18: AsianGlazed Drumsticks with zucchini tots
Tuesday 2/19: Loaded Baked Sweet Potato
Wednesday 2/20: General Tso’s Chicken with brown rice
Thursday 2/21: Leftovers night
Friday 2/22: Baked Spaghetti Squash and Cheese
Saturday 2/23: Girl’s
night away (a splurge!)
