weekly weigh-in
8:18 PM
oooh, look at me! two weeks in a row with this wednesday check-in!
so this weekend, i kinda half-assed the calorie watch. meaning i quit counting them once i decided to indulge in the oh-so-fabulous carne guisada with freaking wonderful homemade tortillas saturday evening for dinner. was it worth the exorbitant amount of calories? hell yeah! was the mexican martini that accompanied my meal? not so much. luckily, it was just awful enough to only drink about a quarter of it. hey, i gave it the benefit of the doubt. i'm more upset by the wasted $9.50. (nine dollars and fifty cents!? seriously!?)
now, as i'm remembering, i sucked on sunday a bit too. i started my day o' sucking with the yummiest at-home breakfast concoction in awhile.
{egg and ham on french toast bread and strawberries
with a yummy french pressed coffee in a snowman mug (in july)}
do you like how i cleverly focused in on the only healthy portion of this meal?
ok, yes, i could have made this healthier: replace the you-shouldn't-even-try-to-resist-me-i'm-so-good french toast with some sort of boring whole grain variety, maybe replaced the fried (in low fat cooking spray, i might add) whole egg with like, hardboiled egg whites, and turkey bacon in place of the ham. . . but all i'm thinking about is how much better it would have been on my panini press. yeah yeah.
i ended my sunday by finishing off a small bag of chips(-) with chancellor (+) in bed (-) while watching lost on netflix(+). hey, the positives balance out those negatives.
although i do indeed know better, i'll absolutely blame this on HEB ("heeb" as i call it, my local grocery store) for enticing me to buy things i'd never normally buy with their "meal deals":
Buy this package of lunchmeat
(we ordered more than we can sell by the expiration date)
and get cheese, wonder bread, koolaid mix,
and this here FABULOUS bag of chips

FREE!
OH!
and buy this huge hunk of pack of peppered bacon
and get this FABULOUS loaf of french toast bread
(that will haunt you in your sleep with it's yumminess),
rosemary skillet potatoes,
and whole wheat muffins (to go with your toast)

absolutely FREE!
all i saw was FREE times 4 or 5, times 2. and like a drone i succumbed to the clever marketing and came home with a bunch of junk I DON'T NEED IN MY KITCHEN!
ok so that was this weekend. but this week i've been a good little girl and i weighed in this morning at 183! that's a loss of 1.2 lbs! holla-freakin-lulah!
i'd like to thank:
 |
| {oh my goodness, try them!} |
for making quick choices easy
and Taco Cabana
(for NEVER getting my order correct and forgetting my chips and queso)
and making this week's weight loss possible.
oh, and i also gave in and downloaded yet another calorie counting app to accompany my other 37 on my phone. myfitnesspal. amber and stephanie use it and it's not too much unlike what i've been using.
:EXCEPT TODAY:
i accidentally happened upon the barcode scanning button and after one touch of my broken (thank you irie) touch screen, it pulled all of the nutritional info per serving for that item and whoa nelly! now i'm excited. i was scanning everything in sight. this new fun-ness will make this less enjoyable task of watching what i eat. . . . fun-ner, at least.
holy crap! yay!
happy losing!

Yay for weight loss! I love Crystal Light...especially the kind with caffeine.
