Back from the dead

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Well, I had what turned out to be a very awful case of the flu. It’s been about 3 weeks now and I’m just starting to feel back to normal. Unfortunately that meant I didn’t exercise at all for two weeks. Man! However, I didn’t really eat all that much either since I wasn’t feeling so [...]

Death warmed over

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Well instead of feeling better, I’ve been progressively feeling worse. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent battling a serious sinus headache/congestion, and last night, I woke up in a coughing fit and had a hard time getting back to sleep. My nose is better this morning, but this cough is something fierce. To top it [...]

Well I have been on hiatus for the past few days. I came down with something nasty on Monday night and have been battling a cold/sore throat/cough ever since. I had two days off from work this week. I know when you take a sick day, you’re supposed to rest, but I cleaned the house. [...]

Ugh, what a way to start the week. I went home sick yesterday and spent most of the day hacking up a lung while trying to keep my head from feeling like it was going to explode. This morning I woke up with a terrible sore throat so I’ve been sucking on cough drops all [...]

I survived!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

We had such a busy day yesterday. It started out by forgetting about daylight savings time and completely missing church. Whoops! We met my friends for lunch at PF Chang’s and DH and I split the stir-fried Buddha’s Feast (vegetarian) and each had a bowl of egg drop soup. You can eat healthy at PF [...]

This weekend is already set up to be a challenge. Sunday we have to go to Denver and decided to meet some friends for lunch at PF Chang’s. I might just stick to soup or something healthy if I can find it. Then we have a baby shower at 2, and then heading over to [...]

Eat to lose

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Thedailyplate.com recommends I eat 1610 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. That seems like a lot to me so I’ve been eating around 1300-1400 a day with no real results. I finally lost .2 lb this morning, and looking at other calorie recommendations from other sites as well as members on 3FC, [...]

Today sucks

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

So last night was the concert (Matchbox 20). I started out by meeting a college friend and her husband for dinner at Chili’s. I actually ended up getting a side salad and a bowl of tortilla soup. I didn’t finish either - probably ate about half of the tortilla soup and half of the salad. [...]

I had to blog about this because I just had one of the best lunches EVER.
So since I am meeting friends for dinner at Chili’s tonight, I went ahead and looked at their menu to try and find a meal that is reasonable in calories. I discovered that the chicken fajita pita is 520 calories [...]

You go, scale!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Despite not eating lunch yesterday, I ended the day by making up the rest of my calories with dinner. DH made hamburgers and curly fries (YUM!) and I had a slice of turtle pie aftewards. Not exactly the healthiest of dinners, but I ended up having right about 1500 calories for the day. Not bad. This [...]
