My Big Fat Life!

So it hasnt really been going as planned but I kinda got back on track today a little. Just been feeling a little overwhelmed here lately & like I cant get anything accomplished. Plus Ive been sluggish too which I know a little exercise would help but I just cant seem to get it all together. Work has been crazy & Im so wore out when I get home. But Im gonna get back on track tomorrow & hopefully that will be the last time I fall completely off the wagon!!!!!!

So Ive asked for a gym membership for Valentines Day. Hopefully I will get it!!!!! I think that would help alot & just make time to go after work which seem to be a prob for everything. But Ive got to get busy cause its just a little over 12 wks until the anniversary party! I would like to lose about 25 lbs by then & I think its doable with alot of work!

So heres the menu for tomorrow:

B: oatmeal- 2 pts

L: Lean Cruisine- 6pts, 100 cal pack- 2 pts

D: ????????

Well here we go again………Im bound & determined to make this the final time too! So this time last year I was down 30 lbs & I let it all come back! Why did I dop that? This time I have to make major life changes & stick with them. So my biggest challenge seems to be the hubby! He wants to eat junk & eat it late! Or his fav thing is a trip to the Waffle House after a night of drinking : ( But I cant let that get in my way!

So the plan is to continue with the WW plan. Ive done it in the past & it works so Ive got to get some willpower & keep it up. Theres a few girls at work that are doin the whole lifestyle change so it should be ok at work. My biggest prob with eating seems to be eating when Im not hungry. I seem to do that alot when Im bored or dont have anything to do. So I plan to fill my time with house chores & have to get busy with my school work! You  would think the money would be the biggest motivator to get me started with school! Ive got to start planning out my time a little bit better too! We do tend to go out alot for drinks & I usually drink Mich Ultra which isnt too bad but my consider switching to dt & rum which doesnt have alot of calories but will hit the wallet a little bit more unfortunately.

So I have a couple goals that Im working toward this year. The first one is an anniversary party that we are planning in April. I would love to lose some weight before than so I can feel better about myself & look great! I would love to get a very cute dress to wear also! The second one is for our annual vaca in Sept with the bestie & her hubby. We are either goin to the beach or a cruise & I just wanna feel better about myself!

So tomorrow morning I will weigh in & I plan on getting up early at doing a 30 min workout! Not sure about the menu yet but I will blog then to let ya know! Wish me luck!!!!!

Ok so I have to get my butt moving! I have no idea why Im not motivated anymore! Ive got to start getting back on track! I havent been doing that bad but I havent been doing very good either. My eating today was ok but Im not really sure how many points I have ate. Ive got to get back to tracking everything & writing everything down. I havent been to the store since before vaca so hopefully I can get there sometime this week before I go off the deep end! So I did do a little exercise tonight. I got on the elliptical for about 10 mins & it about killed me! So Ive decided that Im gonna get up at 5:30 & try to do 15 mins on the elliptical & do 15 mins more in the evenings. So hopefully I can build up! Ive been trying to figure out how many pts chili is & I cant find it anywhere! Cant wait till I get to the store & I wont have any reason to cheat! So heres the menu for tomorrow!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: chili- ?

D: chicken- 4pts, GB- 0 pts, corn- 2 pts

So I hope you girls have a great day! We can do this! We have to!

Ok so it was a very bad wknd! Im not even gonna but down what I ate cause its so bad! Its was like I couldnt get enough! But TOM did come yesterday so I guess thats what was making me eat everything in sight! But its a new day so Im starting over! So Im gonna eat very little the nxt couple of days to try to counteract what I ate over the wknd! Sorry but I dont have much time to write today! Heres the menu for today!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: LC- 4pts

D: chicken- 4pts, GB- 0pts, corn- 2pts

Ok so much for starting over! So I didnt follow the dinner menu. I had spaghetti instead woth ground beef which prob wasnt good & now Im eating ice cream. What is wrong with me! There is no way I will lose this wk but I guess Im gonna weigh in anyways & be embarrassed! I hate bein on my period! It makes me a crazy lady!

Well what a day today was! I am sooo tired & I have so much to do! Gotta clean house tonight & get some laundry done. Came home to no electricity. Called the electric company they had shut it off today. Why I have no idea! We just paid the bill 2 wks ago! So they told us we had to pay $202 to get it back on. So they come back out here to turn it on & after we paid it & they turned it on they tell us we are up to date till NOVEMBER 6TH! WTF? I was so pissed! Hubby was cussing & it was awful! But what do ya do?

So eating wise today was a good day! Didnt drink alot of water but food was good! Ended up having garlic chicken pasta fro dinner so should be under my pts. Still dont think Im gonna weigh in tomorrow but I will check the scale in the am & see what it says. Hopefully I will burn some calories cleaning 2nite!

So here is the menu for tomorrow!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: turkey patty- 3pts, cottage cheese & pineapple- 3 pts

D: not sure!

So I need to return my library books tomorrow & pick up some more. Hopefully they will have the 2nd book in the Sookie Stackhouse series! I think Im hooked Rikki! Which I need to get your book back to ya sometime! Well gotta start the house cleaning before my butt gets stuck to the couch! Have a great day girls! Love ya!

Well back to reality! I hate coming back from vaca! It really sucks! I have so much to get caught up on & have no idea where to start. I came home to my plumbing tore up. My FIL has been stuffing TP down a toliet that doesnt work good so everything is backed up & I cant do laundry. So Im making trips down to the in aws house & it sucks! Plus a house full of chores to get done!

So I did terrible on my diet this wk while on vaca! Based on the scales at work I gained 2 lbs back but I feel like more! So I will prob use my no weigh in pass this wk & hope I lose more nxt wk. I have to start my tae bo tapes soon or I will get lazy. Im hinking Im gonna have to do them in the am cause I dont really have time after I get off since we have been working so late.  But Ive got to start doin some form of exercise!

So I didnt do too bad today even tho I had pizza for dinner. Here was the menu!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: LC- 7pts, cottage cheese & pineapple- 3pts

D: Little Caeasars pizza 3 slices- 13.5

I need to go to the store to get stock up on some stuff so I wont cheat any this wk. Think I may make some taco soup. Its only 1pt for 1 cup & that would last awhile too! I didnt drink alot of water today so gotta get back on that. My boss said i am drinking too much water & if Im gonna drink that much I need to eat more salty foods. So Im not sure about all that? Who knows?

Well here is the menu for tomorrow!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: ground turkey sandwich- 5pts, cottage cheese & pineapple- 3pts

D: undecided right now!

Well girls have a great day tomorrow!

Ok so yesterday was weigh in & I lost 2.2 lbs. I was pretty happy with that! I wished it was more but I didnt have an excellent wk. So we wont really talk about what I had for dinner last night cause it was bad! Very bad! It did involve Olive Garden Rikki! But today is a new day! I had to run to Walmart & pick up some stuff for our trip & then we went to the hubbys parents to pick out some of his grandmothers jewelry that we wanted. I ended up getting one of her brooches ( not sure about spelling). I got one of my grandmothers as a wedding present from my aunt so I thought that would be neat gifts to our kids as soon point!

So while I was at Walmart I picked up a Tae Bo tape. It has 5 different exercises in it & it says you will see results in 7 days. A girl at work got it & she loves it. She was so sore after the first day! With winter coming I figured that I would need something to keep me busy indoors! Not sure if Im gonna try it before vaca or wait till I get back but Im excited about it!

So Im supposed to have girls nite tonite but Im not sure if Im gonna go. Ive just got so much to get done but the time we leave. Ive gotta do laundry & pack & straighten up the house plus get stuff ready with the dogs. And not to mention I really dont need to drink my points at this point after what I ate last nite! So I might stay home & get everything together. That would prob be best to keep me out of trouble!

So heres the menu for today & Im sticking to it very tightly!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

S: string cheese- 1pt

L: LC-5pts, 100 cal nutty bar- 3pts

D: garlic chicken pasta 1 1/2 cups- 7.5 pts

Have a great day girls!

Oh girls! Ive had a bad day! I was super busy at work today & we had a meeting at lunch & the guy brought pizza! I shouldnt have ate it but I was weak & gave in. It was thin crust & was a veggie pizza but it was so bad! Its just been a rough day! Hopefully I will have some sort of loss this wk cause if I gain I will die! But I guess I can only move on & do better tomorrow! But I am gonna be so good in florida! I was looking on a website & trying to decide what I can drink when I down there. I think Ive settled on Dt Coke & Rum. Its only 2.5 pts but hopefully I can keep the drinking to minimal! Maybe just a couple nights!

So I am having a girls nite on fri nite. Its a bday party & then going out afterwards. Im so ready to hang out with some girls & chill out! Its been a couple wks & I can feel a good time coming on! Oh guess what I got the other day! I bought my ticket to the midnight screening of New Moon! So excited about it! I will be so tired the next day but it will be so worth it! Just hope we arent that busy!

So tomorrow is weigh in & Im very nervous! I hope that I can lose at least 3 lbs but I would like to lose 5 lbs. I know thats sitting my goals a little high but I can do it if I just sit my mind to it! So heres the menu for tomorrow! Hopefully I will have semi cheat nite after weigh in!

B: cereal bar- 1pt

L: LC- 4pts, string cheese-1pt

D: Black bean burger from Chili’s as served-9pts, maybe some fries!
