Day 113 - Weigh In Day

I gained, but not really....

I have been blogging for awhile and we have established a connection and I feel like we can take a leap in our friendship. Everyone knows that women gain weight from water because of....you know. So I feel like I lost this week, but it is masked by water. I'm hopeful.

Day 109 -- Late Weigh In Day

I actually weighed myself Thursday, I just haven't had time to post the weight in to the blog,

sorry. I lost a few ounces and I know that i need to work a little harder.

Today was actually the first day that I have prepared a meal. I haven't cooked anything since the two Monday's ago when I cooked a huge pot of chilli. That was probably a contributing factor to my weight gain. I know that I need to get better about preparing my food, especially with Thanksgiving around the corner. i wonder if going back to preparing multiple meals on Sunday would significantly change my eating patterns. Ummm...what kind of process do you use to control your eating?

Breakfast:
Sausage
Biscuits

Lunch:
Turkey Chilli

Dinner:
Chicken
Spinach
Brown Rices

Day 104 - Up and at 'em

My husband kicked me out of the house tonight so I had no other choice but to go work out. After a three day weekend filled with pure laziness, I was looking for any excuse not to work out tonight. It is really cold here and I wo use it as an excuse, but he just told me to put on a heavier coat lol. Oh well! I really didn'as trying tt have a good reason not to go, so I went and I enjoyed it.

On a side note, I have some really great news! My sister is going to start going to the gym! Wait I am jumping ahead...She asked our little brother to help her work out so I hope this means that she is going to gym. I am going to stay on her until she goes. I will keep you posted on her progress.

Day 99 - Weigh In Day

It was bound to happen sooner or later...I have gain this week. I gained 1.7lbs back up to 240.5 lbs, but I am not at all salty about it. I had gotten complacent and I wasn't pushing myself hard enough.  This happened the last time I lost weight. Instead of working harder when the pounds dropped, I just slacked off. I stopped working out as much, then I stopped going to the gym. Then I gained all of the weight back.  This is just the wake up call I need to get the fire back burning.  Watch I am going to come back better!

Day 98 - Slimming Down

Oh boy am I tired tonight. Bose had us do kickbox cardio with weights. I would hate/love to be in her body works plus abs class. She had us doing burpees and planks most of the class, and I actually could do some of it. I was proud of myself. I am so clumsy; it felt good to be able to do those without falling. I am glad i got a really good work out in because I was soo bad at lunch today. All that talk about cheese yesterday made me want a grilled cheese for lunch lol. It was tasty too. I have no shame.

I also noticed that my back is getting smaller. Check out the before and after pic. I love it when you can see the progression. Don't you?

Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Sausage

Day 97 - Mac and Cheese

I make a pretty decent mac and cheese. Matter of fact, on Labor day i was teased by my cousins because I didn't make any mac and cheese for the bar-b-que. As I mentioned yesterday my family has already started planning the Thanksgiving festivities and my mother-in-law made sure that my mac and cheese is on the menu.

My mac and cheese is not for the lactose intolerant, nor is it for the person who is having a lifestyle change. So in the spirit of trying to be healthy I went searching for some mac-and-cheese options that would satisfy everyone and I came across some recipes on Cooking LIght. I am really excited about the three cheese recipe, and if that doesn't work I have 11 others to choose from lol, I will try this out this weekend and let you know how it went.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Sausage

Lunch:
Grilled Chicken
Potatoes

Dinner:
Turkey Chili

Day 96 - Happy Holidays

The holiday are just around the corner, so know , that that means...food, food, and more food. My family is already planning the festivities. Not because they want to enjoy the time with their families; they want to eat lol. I am nervous about how I will handle myself this holiday season. There is so much temptation with the amount of food that is available. I hope I can contain myself.

While everyone is planning the amount food that they are going to eat, I am going to plan the type of food that I am going to eat. So for the next few weeks until Thanksgiving, I am going to research so low fat, healthier alternatives to some of my favorite Thanksgiving meals that I will share with you. Feel free to share with me as well.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Sausage

Lunch:
Chicken
Rice

Turkey Chili
