Becoming a Butterfly

Another MONDAY!!  I survived the weekend.  I did terrible IMO but guess it wasn’t bad enough to piss the scale off.  I had weird eating schedules all weekend.  Friday I didn’t eat dinner (Chikfila) until about 9pm (which I never do because it really screws my tummy up) but it didn’t bother me.  I’ve gotten back into ordering unsweet tea instead of coke now.  Sometimes a diet drink but they dont really agree with me that much.  I thought I was allergic to tea for a while, but maybe not.  Saturday we had breakfast and then didn’t eat anything else till we had mexican food out of town for dinner.  When we got back into town I was hungry again and finished off some chips and queso.  Sunday we had hamburgers and fries for lunch.  Hubby was making a Digiorno pizza for dinner, but for the second time in a row he left the cardboard underneath it and it ruined.  So, I chose to eat 2 bowls of Fiber One cereal instead.  It was a much better choice. 

I do have to say that Fiber One cereal really cleaned me out this morning.  I know…TMI.  I went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the treadmill.  ( I went Saturday too and ran for 1.25 miles and walked the rest.)  But lately my lungs have just been killing me.  Any of you runners have that problem?  What’s wrong and how do I fix it?  I came home had breakfast.  I got on my hands and knees and scrubbed my carpets with a dry cleaning compound.  So that was a work out in itself!  I then started to work on raking leaves in the front yard, but people kept stopping by to chat with me.  People I dont know but live in the neighborhood.  Didn’t get too much done - only a couple trash cans full.  I then came in to vacuum up the carpet stuff bc it had to sit for 2 hours.  Then took a shower and got ready.  Didn’t have time for lunch so just had a handful of blackberries and a cheese stick.  Snack was a few pistachios.  Dinner I made a La Tortilla wrap with turkey meat, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, red onion, and then had some celery and bell pepper to snack on with it.  OK OK A few baked lays too….not too many though.  Oh and I better fess up.  Probably had 3 things of snack sized halloween candy.  It may be the death of me.  CHOCOLATE!!! 

I got so much done today again.  I’m feeling very good about it.  Hubby and I also got lots of chores done Sunday morning so that was nice for a change.

OHHHH… took kiddo to his fall festival at the karate school on Friday night.  Him and some other boys, all about 4-6 years old, were rough housing and Cole managed to hit his face on another boy’s head and his face was just gushing blood.  I couldnt tell where from I thought it was his lip.  Well…long story short….it was his 2 front teeth…one of which was very loose.  The head of the karate school came in and said he would pull them.  Cole was terrified (he’s lost 2 teeth, but he doesn’t like to even wiggle them) .  He had the first one out before Cole even knew what was going on.  The second one he’s like “it’s not really loose but it’s bleeding real bad you want me to just take it too?”  I said it’s what he thought was best and cole said it was ok…Well that’s what he thought till he was screaming that it hurt.  But Mr. Liles got it out quick.  So, at a halloween party my 6 yr old lost his 2 front teeth!  It’s so bizarre to see them gone.  He looks like a little old man who forgot to put his teeth in! 

Went to hubby’s step-great grandma’s 100th bday party on Saturday out of town.  Got to see lots of people I dont really know!  But they all remember me and flock to talk to me.  They are the sweetest people and always make you feel special.  There was a little down syndrome girl there and she latched on to me at one point.  I was sitting on the floor playing with my 2 year old niece and she just sat next to me and petted my hair.  I asked if she was going trick or treating and she said yes but she’d go with me.  It was pretty funny.  You either love me or you hate me I guess!

Oh so I guess I should post my Monday weigh in weight.  It was a flat 208.  2 mondays ago I was 212.8 and last monday I was 215.8.  So…big difference either way really.  Not sure about that 215+  I know it was TOM and I was sick and had a yeast infection…I was really a total wreck.  OH well I wont try to over analize it anymore, but whatever I’m doing…it’s working! 

SW=225  CW = 208  I never really make goals..I just see where I make it.  But mini goals are probably 205 (20lbs lost), 199 (which I cant even imagine at this point), and 182 (just seems like a number I used to always get stuck at.  I’d say my ultimate goal is to be a size 12.  I’d love to be smaller, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.  Hell…208 is the lowest I’ve been in probably since shortly after having my son.  But then count the 9-10 months before that.  So probably 7 years. 

Here’s to a good rest of the week and hope you guys are kicking it up a notch too!!!

*update* I forgot to say I drank probably 3/4 of a bottle of Riesling wine yesterday…oops!
