Phew!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I for one am glad that it is Monday. Well, except for that whole work aspect. I could do without that. But I’m glad it’s Monday because I’m more structured with my eating during the week. For some reason over the weekend I just let loose with the eating. I guess things weren’t so bad [...]

You know that saying…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Food

I know they say “nothing tastes as good as thin feels,” and for the most part I guess I agree.
But seriously, a Turkey Tom from Jimmy John’s probably tastes as 99% as good as thin feels. I can spare the 540 cals. OMG. So good.

Christmas dress!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Fashion

Being as the hubs and I both work for companies that like to throw parties, I needed to find a new Christmas dress to wear this year. I looked high and low at David’s Bridal, where I got my last dress (which I love!) I wore it to two years of company Christmas parties, and [...]

Official weigh in day (end of week 3)

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Weigh in

Still holding steady at 202.6 today was a very pleasant surprise this morning. Since last week’s interesting “gain,” I’ve lost 2.2 lbs. I also noticed that while I did lose some inches-wise, it was not as dramatic as the previous weeks… which leads me to a possible theory. My body may lose inches first (but [...]

Watching it go down

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I feel a little nerdy, but I really look forward to getting into my office every day and tracking my weight so I can watch the little line on the graph continue to go down. I think making a visual was a great idea for me so I don’t get discouraged by fluctuations or temporary [...]

Two victories!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Victory #1 - I love Chipotle. It is THE best place to eat. I love it. I’m originally from Denver and ate at the original Chipotle a lot in high school as it was right down the street. Good stuff. But bad for you. The burrito I normally get is over 1,000 calories. YIKES is [...]

Another food post

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Food

My favorite lunch is leftover roast beef from the night before with 1/2 cup mashed potatoes and gravy made from the beef broth. I would make pot roast once a week if my husband let me. The day after pot roast night is always a delicious, fulfilling lunch day. It definitely rivals -if not overtakes- [...]

Graphs, charts, blogs…oh my!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Food

I made a daily graph with excel that tracks my weight so I can overall see it’s downward trend. I hit 203.6 this morning and feel this is a “true” loss. Yesterday I did get my butt to the gym and went hardcore for 45 minutes. Hooray!
there are a couple of exciting things to write [...]

Monday Night Football

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I think it’s because I had lots of options to choose from. I ate barely half of my brat, and mostly filled up on veggies and…err… spinach artichoke dip… and wine. Yum. Eventually I put the food away because I knew if I didn’t, that artichoke dip would later end up on my hips or thighs.

L: 6 morningstar “chicken” nuggets (285 cals), celery and 1 wedge lite laughing cow cheese (35 cals), yogurt (110 [...]
