Oh thank you so much! I don't feel pretty but every once in a while I feel like I could be. I've been watching that show "what not to wear" lately and there's been quite a few women who lost alot of weight on there. I have no idea how it would feel to look really good and in clothes that fit right everywhere...but I've been trying to imagine :D Maybe when I lose all my weight I can get nominated. I'll have no problem parting with my ugly clothes, lol.
 
omgosh i know what you mean.. i am already starting to scope out what i would like to wear... =P especially at the mall... i have such a great fashion sense... but i hide under layers. D:

hehe i would help to nominate you^^

Yea I know...guess after last semester I've still been recuperating and getting my peace and quiet "me" time, lol. Just surprised me yesterday when I had been fine and then was suddenly irritated but I guess it shouldn't. I was relaxing then suddenly had to go into "wife" mode, lol. And for some reason when he needs HIS space everyone better all clear but when I need mine he gets his feelings hurt and thinks I'm being a jerk and becomes even more demanding. Anyway as you can tell from my food yesterday I had a shut down and refused to cook :X After two weeks we knew that was coming. But ya know, I deserved a break...so what if he overcooked the macaroni for the mac & cheese :X I mean REALLY overcooked it, lol. I'm learning though and I said "no honey it's great...you can't screw up mac & cheese".

Anyway here's my food for today:

breakfast swirls-280
1 1/2 cups soy milk-150

rotisserie chicken- 700
mashed potatoes & gravy-350

Total-1480
 
Food for Jan 31st.

breakfast toaster scramble-180

sweet & sour chicken (healthy choice meal)-390

Huge salad (spinach,lettuce, grape tomatos, avocado, cheese, turkey lunchmeat, ranch)-750

piece of cake-400

Total-1720
 
Morning Lisa..how are you????

i am good...had a rough day yesterday but i am not off track by anymeans..

have a great sunday

go arizona!!

Hey Lisa! Sounds like you had a really great day eating wise! Hope everything else is going great too!
 
Well I thought I had a great day too until I remembered....I had a junior bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's when starving and carting the girls around. Why did I think small meant it couldn't be that high in calories?

So that 1720 was actually 2090. Still under my absolute max allowance by 10 cals but I'm wanting to stay around 1900. And yesterday...omg I was bad. I started off good but the last several days I've felt like I was starving and had some major sugar cravings. And I don't think that cake I didn't turn down on Saturday helped any. Yesterday I had another junior bacon cheeseburger, food from a grocery warmer (chicken strips and cheesy potatoes) and cake....ALOT of cake. My estimated total is around 2800 calories. And I made myself total it so I'm aware next time what the calories in some of these things are.

Anyway I need to get my butt to the store. I didn't have fruit for the weekend which usually helps ALOT. And the frozen meals I had left weren't too appetizing to me. Guess I bought them while shopping hungry and everything looked good, lol. Anyway poor planning as usual didn't help me this weekend so next weekend I'm going to have stuff ahead of time well thought out.

So today it's back on the wagon, lol.

On a good note I finally feel thinner...my t-shirts feel loose and long instead of short and tight. And why does my pain level in my back and hips always go down when I'm losing weight? I'd still like to get to the bottom of that. Maybe 20lbs does make all the difference.
 
:rant:
One thing I forgot to mention is I was REALLY upset with my husband yesterday...still am but not as much AT him anymore but just upset. That new rotisserie I got and have been using so much. Well I set the rotisserie gloves on top in a hurry the other night. They're huge rubber bright blue gloves and the rotisserie is white. Hard to miss...least I would think so. He decided to use it for the first time while I was gone yesterday and left the gloves on it! It melted the gloves into complete goo and burnt it onto the top of it so bad I can't get it off without removing paint.

Oh and on top of it he called me at work to admit it so I was upset THERE and couldn't even see how bad it was then told me I couldn't be mad at him or chew him out because he felt bad enough...wow ok. When he said that I think that in reality he DIDN'T feel bad enough at all.

Accidents happen but seriously that was stupid. He couldn't have checked on it the whole time and he admitted he was playing "call of duty" which definitely equates with "head up his ass". And how do you miss big ass blue gloves on an itty bitty white oven? He had to have moved them just to get the door front closed. Just upsets me because I was taught to take care of things and I feel like with him always being careless I'm never going to have anything nice. Sorry this is so negative but I had to get it out.

The only thing I can think to do is finish pulling the burnt mess off with the paint and I'm going to go to the hardware store and get some appliance/oven paint and try to repaint it. If that doesn't work well then he's buying me a new one! We don't really have the $100 but well then he can just go without a new game he's going to want to buy sometime soon. The thing sits on my counter and looked nice but it won't now if this doesn't fix it.

OMG me too! Way ruined my diet this weekend :ack2:

THAT is all good news, wonderful! :hurray: :cheers2:
 
Thanks :) I did better today for sure. Was too stressed to eat :X. I can no longer be upset with my husband now because I outdid him. I was moving furniture today and set our tv down on the couch. I checked it to stabilize it and thought it was ok but a few minutes later it was on the floor face down and shattered. I could have cried. What's worse...my husband felt bad for ME and wasn't even mad. So I'm an ass, what can I say. Lowe's suggested we get some paint at an auto store that can take hi heat so I'll be trying that probably tomorrow on my oven. Can't fix the tv though...it's by the curb :(
 
OH NO! Accidents happen. Don't worry about the TV. See if you can find any on Craig's List, or at a yard sale or something.
 
Oh no!!! My brother is the same way, and was always doing silly things like that. One time he put the toaster on the stove which was still hot and almost burnt the house down! Boys...

I hope today is going better! About the weightloss, feeling like you lost weight and loose fitting clothing is a better indicator than weight! I'm glad you are feeling the progress!

So yesterday I ate some s/f pudding before I left. Then when I got to work there was a ding dong in my mail box. Well not just mine. Everyone's. I'm thinking about it now thinking ironic since all of us are trying to lose weight right now and the boss knows it...and she put them there, lol. What's worse...I ate it thinking it was maybe 200 calories. Boy am I learning! That bad boy was 368....SOOOOO not worth it. Didn't even taste that good and for that many calories I'm gonna have a REAL piece of cake. But honestly I need to quit with all this sugar lately. Some is ok but anyone notice a pattern? Oh did I mention I ate an oatmeal cookie too? Bah!

So what was 1115 is actually 1783.

Haven't made it to the store yet but tonight is my Friday so tomorrow I'll get some fresh fruit and healthy stuff I like so this stops.

Great idea :) I'll check over the next few days. There's a used store near my work I'll check tomorrow too.

Yea it's nice to finally feel different :) I love that loose clothes feeling. I'm putting the scale away for a few weeks or going to try to anyway because I should be getting TOM soon, especially if these cravings are any indication. So I'm just going to keep on trucking and then I can have a BIG weigh in later and get super excited. I don't want the scale to freak me out like it did last time.


Ok today's food so far:

smart ones frozen meal-220

spinach & feta cheese omelette-450
hashbrowns-250
toast-250

1170


The omelette was so good. We're having burgers for dinner but I'm cooking them on a george foreman grill so that should help some. I'll come back and finish posting my total later.
