Sorry I didn't post last night! Our internet was not working. UGH!
Well, today I have been given even more motivation to lose weight than I had before! My little cousin, Holly, who is more like a sister to me got engaged last night. I am going to be in her wedding, which means a new dress. And for once... I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid! She's losing weight right now, so hopefully we can continue to motivate each other (from afar).
So after the rough day on Wednesday, Thursday was an AWESOME day! I did not have breakfast because we were hurrying to gymnastics. I once again spent an hour spotting Jameson in his gymnastics class and was sweating harder than he was by the end. We came home for lunch, and I made him and my sister a pepperoni pizza to share. I made myself tuna with a bit of Miracle Whip and put it on a Light Flatout wrap. I also had about 2 Tbsp. of hummus with multi-grain and flax seed crackers. After Jameson's nap, we took a walk up to the park in town to the Farmer's Market. I walked the dog and my sister held Jameson's hand all the way there, and we switched on the way back. It was 2.6 miles roundtrip. We also bought fresh sweet potatoes. The kids got large peanut butter cookies, but I did not. For dinner, we went to Panera Bread Co. I had the Pick Two combo with a grilled chicken caesar salad and a smoked turkery breast sandwich (and the french baguette). All three of them got the pastry items for dessert and ate them right in front of me, but I didn't! AWESOME DAY! I felt great!
Yesterday was good too (although not as good as Thursday). I didn't eat breakfast again because I just can't find anything I like for breakfast that isn't awful for you! For lunch, I made Jameson a PB&J sandwich and Jordan 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. I made myself one of the Old El Paso tortilla stuffers. It's rice, black beans, and steak that you heat in the microwave. I then rolled it in one of the Light Flatout flat bread wraps again. It was really good! From 5-8pm I was at a 31 meeting and then visiting with some girlfriends. I had a SMALL glass of Moscato, a beer, a few cheese slices, and 2 small homemade cookies that were awesome! At 9pm when we got home, I had some leftover spaghetti and meatballs from Wednesday night's dinner. I ate a smaller portion this time! I also spent a while yesterday doing some housework.
Tomorrow is weigh-in day! I will let you know how it goes!
You are doing great! Although, you shouldn't skip breakfast so much. You can have fruit, though I know you hate that. Cereal isn't too bad, even the sugary kind isn't crazy horrible, though I would go with something better. Oatmeal is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!! And what a great motivator! (Congratulations, Holly!) I agree; not great to skip breakfast everyday. It doesn't have to be breakfast food...roll up a piece of turkey breast and light cheese, a tiny bit of peanut butter on apple slices, something like that. How about the flavored oatmeal? It comes in sugar free, which is even better. But you're doing great, and we're very proud of you!!! That 2.6-mile walk was definitely very good for you! Keep up the good work; we're here cheering you on every step of the way. And don't get discouraged if you do good and the scale doesn't move; when you're not losing pounds you're losing inches. Remembering that got me through a lot of rough spots and plateaus when I lost weight. You're stronger than any craving or temptation, and you've been successful at anything you truly put your mind to. So keep moving forward, striving for the very best you can be! You're a beautiful person, and you deserve to reach this goal and feel as great as you are!!! Love you!!!
