The journey from fat to fit. Road trip, woo hoo!

Breakfast. Coffee

Lunch. JC tuna and crackers, chips, granola bar

Dinner. JC fish and chips, salad, another granola bar

Munchies: had a handful of bbq chips and a diet coke while watching TV

Breakfast: coffee

Lunch: JC panini and chips, iced tea

Dinner: TBA but will be a JC meal UPDATE: had my JC turkey and potatoes, but then later had a pc of chicken (breast, roasted) when DH showed up with a roasted chicken from the grocery store for no apparent reason and the smell was too delicious to pass up.

Exercise: DH and I have our swing dance class tonight, which is a lot of fun and very aerobic. Yay! UPDATE: danced my butt off, very sweaty, but fun!

Wow, this week has gotten away from me between insane work schedule and sick kid who has not been to school IN SIX SCHOOL DAYS, oy.

In reverse order:

Wednesday: breakfast-coffee; lunch-JC chicken and potatoes, iced tea; dinner-ravioli and a lot of wine (watching a movie with girlfriends) followed by CREAM PUFFS. So delish.

Tuesday: breakfast-JC muffin and coffee; lunch-beef gyro and diet coke; dinner-JC meal, but I can’t even remember what it was

Monday: breakfast-JC muffin and coffee; lunch-JC tuna kit plus JC cookies and diet coke; dinner-big salad PLUS pizza. Three slices, to be exact. It was so good, but, yeah, so not plan.

EXERCISE: NOTHING YET THIS WEEK. How sad is that?

Weigh in: 163.0, down 1.2 lb this week. I thought it would be better, so I’m a little disappointed. But then again, better than a gain I suppose

Breakfast: JC French toast and coffee

Exercise: 3.2 mile walk before weigh in

breakfast: JC muffin and coffee

lunch: chef salad and diet coke

snack: coffee and 1/2 a buttery croissant

dinner: a tiny bit of chinese noodles and all of the cabbage that DD11 picked out of her chinese food, a bottle of water, the other half of my croissant, decaf coffee and a JC vitamin bar… ghetto dinner, who?

exercise: one hour dance class with DH, but it was not very aerobic tonight

WEIGH IN TOMORROW. I AM FEELING OPTIMISTIC

Um, hello, where did the week go? I don’t know if I can recount everything, but I’m going to try.

Exercise: one hour swing dance class

Wednesday:

VERDICT: 100% on plan with food PLUS exercise. Win!

Saturday weigh in: 164.2, which is down, like, half a pound in a week. Insert sad face here.

Saturday food was on plan until dinner time, and then we went to a wedding, where i drank my weight in wine and ate lite appetizers, so no big meal. Nibbled a quarter pc of cake. Danced to the point of extreme tiredness and sweatiness, so that counts, right? Oh, almost forgot. DH and I went on a 3 mile walk Saturday morning before my weigh in because I was feeling guilty about friday night happy hour : )

Sunday food was on plan EXCEPT for happy hour with girlfriends after we went on a kayaking trip. My arms are like limp noodles today. We kayaked for two hours, then went to happy hour, where I had a small salad and split with one other gal an order of calamari and an order of terikaki beef and mushroom “tidbits.” These are happy hour size portions, so small. And I only had one beer.

So all in all, food was no 100% on plan, but nothing excessive except for the Saturday night drinking binge. And exercise was good. I’m calling it a successful weekend : )

breakfast: JC french toast

lunch: JC tortellini soup and 1/2 a “serving” of wheat thins

dinner: JC fajitas and a salad

happy hour: salad, cup of chowder, 1 beer

exercise: 1 hour dance class

breakfast: skipped

lunch: chicken sandwich, fries and diet coke from burgerville… grilled chicken, but still

dinner: JC panini, iced tea

snack: granola bar

exercise: one hour swing dance class with DH in which we MOVED the entire time and I was a sweaty mess by the end. which is good, because my walk with a friend got rained out yesterday, so I needed to burn some calories.

I’ve had a horrible stomach ache all day. I thought having my gallbladder removed would be the end of my issues, but apparently I was indeed suffering from IBS and not gallbladder disease. Nice.
