Never gonna give up

Check out my post below if you want to learn all about pho :)

Yup today is weigh in day- I kept track of my calories this weekend diligently- yes I did eat a whopper jr on Saturday but I really wanted a whopper and am proud I only ate a jr vs a fulll whopper (with cheese), fries and a coke. Even yesterday when hubby and I went grocery shopping and he was eating fries I didn’t even have ONE- even after he offered many times. While his dinner was dibs ice cream, mine was 2 tortillas, hummus, grilled fish, tomato, onion, and some romaine lettuce and a bit of hot sauce (all for 430 calories). It was delicious! I LOVE fish :D

I guess my camera sucks at taking food pictures lol- anyone know why I’m having such problems with blurry pictures? It’s only when I do close photos…

Oh and Linda I found them!! I found the La Tortilla tortillas! My husband thinks I’m CRAZY cuz I was so happy I found them. I was looking through the area where all the tortillas are, then at the bottom corner I saw it- LA TORTILLA… OMG! IT’S LA TORTILLA! 50 calories, 10 grams carbs, 7 grams fiber!! All of a sudden the clouds opened up, the sunlight came in, I looked up and smiled as the voices sang “HALLELUJAH!” lol okay so it wasn’t that dramatic BUT it could have been ;)

After dinner around 7 pm I logged in all my calories and realized I didn’t eat anywhere near my minimum calories so I cut up 2 tortillas, sprayed some pam on it and baked them till they were crisp and ate them with some more hummus- I LOVE HUMMUS! I cut up the rest of the tomato also and enjoyed it with my healthy snack.

Later on when I watched TV I ate some 100 calorie popcorn and got in my 1200 calories for the day. I also worked out half an hour on the treadmill, it was very pathetic, I did a mile and a half in that time because I did a brisk walk at 2.5-3.0 pace. But my feet were hurting and my knees and so on so I didn’t want to push it- I broke a slight sweat and that’s good enough for me :)

I showered and was in bed by 9 pm, read my book, and at like 10 I wasn’t tired. So then I read until 10:45 and was like that’s it girl, BEDTIME! But nope! I probably didn’t fall asleep till almost MIDNIGHT. AND to top it all off around 5 am there was skunk or something outside that STUNK UP the area! I had to close the window. By the time I rolled out of bed at 6 am I was dead! I’m tired this morning and want to crawl back into bed…

Oh and what was my number you ask? 212.5! UG. It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m working on it, I’m not giving up… I’m going bike riding tomorrow with hubby- I am taking the day off since he has the day off and we’ll be going on a picnic :) I’ll take some wraps for me, some sandwhiches for him, and we’ll take our picnic basket and have a yummy lunch after we go bike riding for an hour or so :) I’m going to attribute this to the soreness in my butt and legs and arms… I just got to keep plugging along, next week 211 dammit!

Oh and I’m happy to say my sister comes home this Thursday :D Her and I have already planned to go bike riding this week and she wants to fat smash again so I said I’d make some healthy dinners with her that are meatless but I’m not following it full force with her. She’s cool with it, I told her she probably won’t gain anything back since I cook pretty healthy meals as it is :D

Have a great day everyone :)

    Keep at it and the weight will have no choice to come off with all of the exercising and healthy eating you’re doing. Yay for you!

    Have a great time picnicing with your hubby tomorrow. How cute :)

    Love the term ‘Fat Smash’ hahah! I’m going to use that from now on. *smiling*

    As for pho, man, reading your descriptions made me hungry for it SOOOOOOOO I think I’m going to have pho tonight. Yummers!

    And agreed with SunnyDaze, the weight will have to come off after all that you’re doing. Can’t wait!!!!

    Hey, what’s wrong with 212.5? You were 214.5 a week ago; that’s a two pound loss! Celebrate! :D

    Camera is too close. Does your camera have a macro setting? Use that for anything closer than 3 feet away. :)

    :: hugs ::

    Thanks sunny! I will check it out and see if my camera has anything for close pictures.

    Yeah I guess I was just finally hoping for 211ish numbers. :(

    It’s okay though- I WILL get there!
