Véronique Chapter 3 the 170's one last time!

Ok so yesterday was a bad day emotionally but I didn't over do it on bad food! I even went for a walk again today :) I am starting to enjoye these walks I go out I see people I get to think of things outside my own little problems.

I got my criminel check back....no suprise they found nothing so now I am just waiting for the person in charge of stafing to book an appointment for an interview! I got my haircut today.....it's much shorter (for me) then usuall but I like it....there was a lot of damage and I wanted to be able to do something with it for the interview. I am now decided weather or not I should color...I want to and the colour I chose is medium auburn....it's gonna be very different from my dark blond...I need a change but what if I end up with like pink or purple hair???? so I am debating if I shoud or not!

Breakfast
multi grain bagel toasted with butter (1/2 tsp for both sides)
coffee

Lunch
a noodle salad with tones of brocolie in it yum!!!

diner
I am craving greek salad with chicken!
 
Ok so today is a weird day. I found out, one of the women that made so much trouble for me at the cheese factory got fired on monday. I tought that would make me happy or you know think what goes around comes around....but it doesn't. I actually feel sad for her...besides her children that see only sees every other week work was her reason to live, she hardly had any friends outside of co worker, and recently seperated, and I know she has huge money issues her car was repossed last fall......I am wondering if I should try to reach out to her....even if she never reached out for me when I lost my job...Hubby says I should try to go after her job, I don't know. I am thinking of calling the old boss and then just see where the conversation takes me.

Breakfast
bagel toasted with butter(1tsp)
coffee

Lunch
JUNK chip stand crap.....
yurk

Diner
Greek salad left over from yesterday

I drank lots of water today 32oz X 2 and then a few glases extra
I am thinking of having wine with my salad like 3 oz .
 
Hey Veronique,
That would be nice of you to reach out to her but don't feel bad if you don't because like you said she never made an attempt. It might bring some good carma though.
Hope you have a great weekend!
 
Hey forum friends.


So I decided not to call her...if she needs anything from me she also has my number. I am not responsible for her loosing her job, so I can't feel bad, I knew it would happen because every single time the boss asked her about a project he had her working on it was never done, she always had something more important to do.

Food had been ok I didn't write it down but I stuck with mostly fruits and veggies until last night when I had a piece of cake and a bit on wine 2 glases. No weight in till next week from now on I am not weighing in when TOM is here.

Has anyone on here tried ZUMBA? How is it....looks fun I just might try it!
 
Hello Forum friends

ok so yesterday we where suppose to clean our yard with the kids but hum it was freezing cold and rainning cats and dogs, we ended up sleeping in the afternoon and then going for a movie at diner time....we went to see Rio really cute the parts I saw anyways my 2yrs got bored with the movie after 45 min so I missed most of it after I took him walking around the cinema so he wouldn't start screaming and disturbing other people. needless to say we ate popcorn and then off to mc donalds before heading home. I guess Sat was my cheat day.

Breakfast
egg cheese, and a pc flat bagel
coffee

lunch
grilled cheese sandwich
coffee

diner
mc donald thai chicken (grilled) salade
a few sips of iced tea.

snacks pop corn no butter added and a few sips of strawberrie frutopia that was too sweet for my tast. I didn't get much water in yesterday so got to do better on that today. and my only work out was running after my son!
 
Ok so a quick recap of my week so far...I have been keeping busy getting clutter out of the house so it stays clean longer.....so that has kept me busy and thinking of other things then food...I am such a pack rat! I still ate too much junk for my taste...instead of having meals this week I mostly ate a good breakfast and then snacked for the rest of the day. I am not looking forward to my weight in I did some walking yesterday but today is freezing and raining cats and dogs! Mabe dancing tonight!
 
Hello Forum friends...I am back after being off the wagon...I am sure I am back in the 180's,,,,I kept drinking pepsi and I ate tons of bake good...damn those cinnamon buns and donuts, I can't change the past couple weeks so I have to do damage controle...first off I threw out the remaining bake goods and sent my hubby to do the grocerie shopping after work with strick instruction to stay away from baked goods and chips cause I am craving those also he can't bring pepsi in the house, he prefers coke anyways! I also bought internation delights coffee whitners to replace my surgar and cream in my morning coffee at only 40cal a tsp it should make a difference...Today I was gonna keep busy and away from food by washing and storing my winter stuff but I have no access to my laundry room because they are painting it. I am gonna have to find something else to do cause watching tv will only make me want to snack....evil comercials! So I always had weekly goals.....this week will be to cut my snacking....I will only have one snack a day....also I want to eat Salads for at least one meal a day!

breakfast
cinnamon bun (this was my wake up call! I threw out the reste )
Coffer with whitner

Lunch
tuna salad with 2tbsp of dressing and 132 cup of whole wheat croutons

Diner
chick peas sauteed with mushrooms, green and red peppers, spanish oignion on whole wheat rice.

I used to be vegan but hubby is not and now with the kids I don't want to do 2 meals everyday but I want to start including my vegan dishes again they are low in fat...and healthy, I think it would benefit my kids to eat both meat and meatless dishes. Hubby's brothers and dad suffer from high blood presur and colesterol (OMG I can't spell) Hubby just had a check up and he is in perfect health so I think the fact that he eats red meat only 1 to 2 a week is a big help!

Fitness wise I have been going on walks when the weather permits almost everyday but this week I want to start my old 3km walk I used to do, and get some running in there too....I don't only want to be skinny I want to be fit and healthy. I wake up every morning dead tired and I am fed up with it...falling off the wagon did make me realise I am not the same persone I was years ago when I would just find excuses to my tiredness....I ate crap for a week and I felt like crap...you are what you eat comes to mind right about now. I am off for my walk before the rains starts.....I will catch up with other diaries later in the afternoon!

WHoo Hoo!! it's 11:30 am here and I walk the 3 km and came back home just as rain was starting, I am very proud with myself for actually pushing myself out the door and not use the excuse oh it's looking like rain mabee I should stay home!

Hello Forum friends

so yesterday's diner didn't go as planed I didn't have time to go to the store so I ended up eating chicken cesar burgers, basically 3ounce of chicken cut in two I grilled it then I ate it on a bun with a bit of ceasar dressing instead of mayo and I topped it with lettuce, and spanish oignion and 1/2 a teaspoon of parmesan cheese on each burger....what I shouls have done is make a chef salad along with one burger, it's a process....I felt too full after eating too I tought I was gonna be sick but instead of sitting on the couch and pasing out I did some house work to help burn the extra burger.

breakfast
coffee x 2
egg with 1ounce of cheese and a whole wheat toast slightly buttered.

Lunch
legume salade with 1 or 3 teaspoon of dressing

snack
orange

diner
I want to eat the chick pea with sautteed mushroom thing I was gonna do yesterday.

I will have to do indoor exercise today perharps dust off my weights it's been raining all morning.
 
Those are two things which always get me, convenience and preparation. Sometimes the groceries are around but I really have no time or will to cook them. I think it's great that you kept active afterward. One thing I really like about you Veronique is you keep pressing on
 
Ok well I have been away on purpose....I weighted in at 187lb last week I was so disapointed in myself that I just decided to quite.....so who know where I will be this friday TOM is gonna start soon so I know that usually add 3 to 5 lb for me but still I let myself go....I have to make time for me the house work will still be there afther my walks...I need to talk to the hubby as well so he can cook 1-2 meals a week give me a break.....I just wanted to write this down....I have been drinking my 3X 32oz of water everyday since last week and I am getting better at eating better .....I have done this before I know I can do it again!
 
sorry to hear about the gain Veronique, but like you said, you did it before and you can do it again. I also had a gain on my last weigh in, and I'm determined to make it the last gain for a good while :) You can do it Veronique! Don't get discouraged!!
 
I weighted in at 187 last week so this morning I decided to step back on the scale and 184.5lb and it still TOM so I am thinking a lot of my gain was water weight? I haven't been walking much cause it's raining all the time or so it feels.....I have been doing extra house work like moving furniture into the shed and keeping busy so I am snacking a lot less and trying to eat 3 healthy meals a day...with some healthy snacking in there but only when I am actually hungry not cause I bored.....

Something happened this weekend...and I am shocked at my hubby's lack of emotion towards this or mabee I am over reacting.

A couple years ago we lived in a village about 15 min away from where we live now...a guy that was attending the same school as my hubby (it was a special school for deaf people and also there where classes for people with learning disabilities or are autistic and other such problems) That guy used to come at our place to visite way too often...he always wanted to use our pc to go online we let him at first but once we saw he was going on porn sites we stop that and told him to get internet at home......he was mad but still came over to use the internet...and he always ask if he could babysit my daughter and I always said no cause I didn't think he had the maturity to babysit he was in his 20's physically but mentally he was 12 (that is what his social worker said) So we moved a couple years ago and only saw him a few times since we would call him up and he would meet us for a picnic in the parc. We found out that he was arrested for possesionof child pornographie. That completly freaks me out...I know he never touched my daughter inapropriatly ....but the fact that he was in my house, and I never tought for a minute that she was in danger .....shouldn't a mom sence something like that....I know just cause he looked at the stuff dosen't say he would have done it. I had him on facebook I now blocked him and my hubby said I shouldn't have done that ....that I should treat him like before and let interact with our kids like before....that is if we bump into him.....I want nothing to do with this guy...I don't want my kids any where around him. Am I overeacting? I got to go I have to get ready for my job interview tommorow morning! I will bring this back to a weight loss diary soon!

Thank you for stoping by Xe it's always nice to know I am not alone on here!
 
I am happy to announce that for the next 6weeks I am employed, at a very nice salary, then it's back onto unemployment until September when I hope to get the job once again! The interview felt more like a conversation that will now be followed by a 6 weeks trial......It's nothing I haven't done before so I know I can do it! People seem to get along well there is even a mother - daughter working there....also my father in law but we are in different departments so it's all good! I went grocery shopping today and bought all kinds of healthy salad making ingredients and fruits and oatmeal for breakfast I am back on track!
 
I don't think you're overreacting Veronique, that is so disgusting and I can imagine the horror you felt knowing he was in your house. Moms can't always tell who is dangerous from who is not, sometimes even the most trusted people have bad intentions. The GOOD thing is that you did not let him take care of your child and you know he did not harm her. People handle shocking news differently, maybe in some time your hubby's perspective on it will change.

On a positive note, congrats on the job and I'm happy to see the scale going in the right direction for you :) TOM sux
 
Hey Xe.....never apologies for when you don't have time to be on here ...I just apreciate when are on here! I understand that you have a life to live outside of this website!!!!

The first day went well.....very slow compared to the cheese factory but I am guessing that is only because half my job is photocopying and the printer decided it needed a service call at 9:30 this morning...at least I had the attendance from April 1st to input in the computer for 4 different schools I did all of one up to the 20 of April today so I guess I will be be on that tommorow again

I am actually looking forward to my weight in tommowrow, Tom is gone, I didn't snack much since wednesday and no pop all week! I could do better with water!....I am a work in progress!
