No gain….a slight ( and I do mean slight) loss…
November 4th, 2009
but a loss is a loss. .2 pounds! LOL lets see, what weighs .2 pounds? A sock maybe. LOL But seriously, after loosing 7 last week, I didn’t have much hope for this week, and hey, I didn’t gain .2 pounds, I lost it! LOL But boy, the pressure is on for this week! LOL
I need to bump up the exercise already. I knew it was coming. I know I can’t lose without good sweating. I know this. I need to do it. I was hoping it would last longer. Ya know, just watching what I eat. No matter how I try, I will never be a fan of sweating. Sure, I go through spells where I dislike it less than other times….but I never LOVE it. I guess I need to dust of Jillian and Bob, and go back to doing them. I did see some results when I was doing those videos. Its a half hour for goodness sakes….its not like its half my day! I do have to snicker at the WW meeting when they talk about how little exercise steps add up, like parking far away from stores and taking an extra lap around the grocery store. Ya……not for me.
DH managed to come home and get the boys out for dinner. I came home after the meeting and nuked the other half of my Olive garden pasta primavera….a respectable 7 pts. Had a 1//2 cup 3 bean salad for 1pt. Still had pts left over to use ( some week days, its hard to use them all…but man, on the weekends, I have NO problem using them up and then some!) I had 8 oz ff milk and 2 black bean brownies. Was a .5 shy of my daily total. I think next week I might try the crockpot idea. I picked up the dining out guide at the meeting last night too. It is pretty complete. But DWLZ is still better. Only not as accessible on the go. It’s a smallish book, so I could pop it into my purse easily. Looking over the restaurants in it, ( which as you know, restaurants are my BIG problem zone) most of the places I eat, I do normally choose the best meals…..I almost NEVER do fried anything. I guess, I need to work on portion control. But having it right there to guide me, should help. I am miffed at the amount of fast food restaurants and the four ( yes four) pages devoted to cold stone creamery! I mean come on…..do we really need pts on small, med, large of just about every combo they make? I think Cold stone Creamery should be a once in a while treat…..you don’t need that many stats for it, for goodness sakes! I think you know when you walk through the doors, this isn’t going to be a diet friendly place. Go to Mcdonalds and get a small cone or even a small hot fudge sundae WITH nuts for far less points than ANYTHING they have at cold stone! LOL I would really like to see more sit down, chain restaurants included in there. NOT everyone in America lives on Fast food, ya know.
So that’s about it for me today. Stealing LT’s mantra….don’t forget to sweat, and neither will I!!! ![]()

Yes! I am the same way… I have to exercise in order to lose. Wish I was one of the folks that could just diet lol! Congrats on the loss… a loss is a loss, you’re right! Dining out is my downfall, too, so hopefully the guide will be helpful!
We have a Coldstone by our house and we never go… mostly because I gripe about paying $4-5 for ice cream hahaha.

LOL @ the parking comment. So true. When I went on a cruise someone said “take stairs instead of elevators it’ll help with the weight gain”…nope doesnt help much lol
Every loss is a loss and deserves a YAYYYYYY
Yes I do have a lot of a skeletons.. these are too embarassing to share with people in real life… so my blog becomes an outlet

A loss is a loss! I could definitely do without the sweaty exercise. I don’t mind the strength training type stuff as much I mind the huffing and puffing type of cardio. Well, it really should be more heart-pumping than huffing and puffing…
LOL, four pages of Cold Stone Creamery stats! Too funny. Unless there are a lot of people out there subscribing to the “ice cream for dinner” philosophy of of eating. Every once in a while I think eating a hot fudge sundae instead of dinner would be appealing. But not on a regular basis. I would miss my “real food”.

Well, swimming is not a sweaty exercise, but it sure is a big cardio/muscle scultping burn off the pounds workout! I’ve only been to Cold Stone once, like 5 years ago when my three nieces were visiting and for 5 people it was almost $30! Can’t imagine anyone spending much time there. Good job on the loss–even a little counts. Oh, and thanks for the wallpaper laughter–I finally got how unfunny it was when I tried removing it from 100 year old walls!

Yay! A loss is great. Nice work!
I agree about the points books, I wish they’d have more chain restaurant foods in them too. Also a few more ethnic foods would be good too (though that’s gotten better). I love DWLZ and probably use it more than the books.
