Oh, Happy Easter, those of you who celebrate. Happy Spring to the rest of you.

I was Holy Mo-ing over how much food I get to eat in a day: 33 points PLUS 35 extra. I'm pretty sure my meager weight loss (I'm not complaining, but last time around my losses were double those 2.2 lbs every week) was due to the fact that on Core I wasn't coming anywhere NEAR 33 points a day... and that's when I USED the extra 35! So I've been eating the non-Core foods I have around the house and mourning that 1/2 gallon of orange juice that died in the fridge. :( Rich said he'd drink it but he didn't and juice isn't core. Oh, well. Aren't I fortunate to be able to WASTE food like that. :(( <- double frown

For breakfast I had french toast with real syrup and real butter, 2 turkey sausage patties and coffee. Cost me 9.5 points. If I split my daily points into three meals, I get 11 points each meal. Looks like I'm on track. :) I have to ask the cook what's for dinner today.

I wish I could post a link to my food tracker so I won't have to duplicate the information on here (like I did with yesterday's post). This link works for me, but that's because I'm logged in on that computer. If you can read it, great. I'll see what happens to my great ambition to post my food everyday. At this point I'll only promise to update the Food Tracker.

Well, I'd better go earn all those activity points I claimed. ;)

I lost another 2.2 lbs. Hee. Except for last week, I've lost 2.2 lbs every week I've been back on WW.

So far I've consumed:

1 cup coffee w/3 creams = 1.5
medium apple = 1


I really need to eat something...

Also, another milestone: I was able to remove the bra extender from one of my newer bras (which I'd bought a size smaller than I needed because, d'oh!). 8 lbs. might not seem like much but that's how much difference it made in the way my clothes fit: minus 1 bra extender.

I've got activity points to earn (and more food to eat), so I'm out!

Update:
Lunch
1 Lean Pocket Chicken Fajita = 6
6 TGI Friday's frozen buffalo wings = 7
(I was STARVING!)

Dinner
2 small corn tortillas = 1
2 servings Beff Fajitas (not to be confused with Lean Pocket, above :) = 9.5
4 servings Jello FF/SF cheesecake pudding = 2 (believe it or not!)

Total 28 points

I get 33 points per day. I had 5 points left over, not ideal, but okay.

Thursday I got on the scale at home. Butt-naked I weighed 295.5 lbs. So I'm down 10 lbs. in a month. (My WW weight is always higher because I have to wear clothes for that one. :) I've noticed a slight change in my clothes: my upper arms and thighs aren't so tight. I have a sweet black sweater with georgette collar and cuffs that I refuse to wear until it hangs off me just right. (Right now it's tight EVERYWHERE. :( I want some more of that.

Yesterday I worked out. I spent about 1/2 hour on the recumbent bike. My knees hurt but not horribly. I'll try again this evening. I have my music and for me that was always the best thing about working out... besides the endorphins. ;) This time around I want to do some kind of workout every day. I'm not sure if laundry will substitute, but cleaning the piggy cage (which I MUST do this weekend, it smells like a zoo!) will definitely count and there will be no exercise on that day.

Today I had a handful of almonds for breakfast (about 4 points), plus an apple. I'm having lunch out, probably another potato and some meat, maybe some salad bar. It's a slow day at work... well, *I'm* slow, anyway. :D I think there will be lots of leaving early this p.m. I am right behind them! LOL

Tomorrow is weigh-in day. I'm going to switch to the Flex plan for next week. I'm somewhat limited in my vittles on the Core plan. I like the convenience of not counting, but aside from fresh fruit, there's not much on that plan that's grab and go. And I definitely need the grab and go. I'm already planning to dive into stuff I haven't had on Core, like BREAD... I never was that fond of bread but as soon as you tell me I can't/shouldn't have it, it becomes *vital*.

My icon is a "calendar girl" from the 50's through 70's. I found her on Les Toil's website. Les Toil paints beautiful pictures of fat women. A different artist drew "Hilda," but she is just so beautiful, in all her corpulent glory. Check her out.</i>

I lost 1.4 pounds this week, so I am officially back in the 200's! I never want to see 300-anything again!

Rich and I went to the Farmer's Market and bought a lot of produce. (I bought some $35 orange scented body scrub and cream as a reward for my 5 lb. loss. *cough*) Then we went to Trader Joe's and bought some more produce and frozen stuff. I lost a little less this week. Maybe because I had pizza last Saturday and fish tacos yesterday. I enjoyed both immensely, so I don't feel bad about eating it. I need to portion control my food, though. Right now I'm just throwing stuff in a big bowl and chowing down. I gotta locate those measuring cups.

Exercise: I had to sign a waiver and indemnity and make an appointment with a trainer to show me how to use the machines. I already know how to use the machines, so it should be a short class. ;) I put in a call to the trainer for the LV fitness room today. Hopefully I can get trained this weekend so I can start working out. That will definitely help me lose.

So, food for today so far...

Coffee w/ff creamer
WW Smoothie w/ff milk
...

I think I need to eat some more. My stomach feels like it's backing up, though. :( Acid reflux, I guess. I don't want to send anything else down there for a while. Back later.

"Ca-woh" just reminded me that I haven't posted here in a week.  Bad of me.  It's mostly because I've been writing, plus the WW Core plan is rather labor intensive.  Eating whole and non-fat foods is good (my skin has gotten softer... or maybe that's because I'm losing fat so it's not so tight now :), but it's a whole new ball game for me since I've always been disinclined to vegetables and anything that wasn't deep fried.

I lost another 2.2 lbs. last Saturday.  This rate of weight loss is fine by me, I won't look droopy when I've lost a lot.  My clothes are feeling a *little* bit better on me.  I'm having issues with the exercise.  There's an exercise room at LV, but I have to sign a waiver and be trained on the machines!  And I can only get the form I need to fill out when I'm at work.  I've asked Rich to get it for me, but he keeps forgetting.  Now, I'm wondering if I should go to 24-Hour again after all.  I'll see what happens.  Walking is good exercise... except when you've worn away half the cartilage in your knee and it sometimes hurts when I'm not even on my feet.  :(  So I'm kinda stuck on that one.

I have been keeping to the program pretty well.  Some days I just want to run out and buy potato chips or cookies or candy and gobble it up.  I bought the lemon WW 2 point bars at the last meeting.  I ate four of the damn thing in one sitting, so now I have a new Red Light food!  I'm sure WW didn't intend for *that* to happen.  

Anyway, I will *try* (no promises) to at least post my food here every day.  It would help me to see what I am and am not getting.  I couldn't scrape together a decent lunch (hard to make a sammich without bread) so I'll have to go to the cafeteria today.  I think I'll be okay.  ;)

So far today...

Lots of Extra sugar-free gum (which, I have discovered, gives me horrendous "wind" =:O

Plain ff yogurt with defrosted fruit
ff/sf Jello instant cheescake pudding (FYI, it does NOT taste like cheesecake)
....

Okay, that's pretty sad.  *going to get lunch*
 

Breakfast
12 oz Coke bottle - 3
oatmeal made w/milk + Splenda
yogurt and berry mix w/Splenda

Lunch
6 Caramel deLight cookies - 9
2 TJ chile and cheese tamales - 13
(eaten because there wasn't anything else *handy*)

Dinner
broiled pork chop
broccoli
brown rice
yogurt and fruit dessert

I think I'll eat the rest of those Caramel deLights. No, seriously, at least they'll be gone. :D

I'm doing laundry today. Hooray, activity points. No, seriously. A couple hours of laundry could very well vanquish my cookie points. Heavy as I am, I get more points for activity. I just have to remember not to buy the stuff unless I intend to eat it. Better not to buy it at all.

To Carol: Don't worry, I'm gonna eat. I just gotta watch what. :)

I need to figure out lunches, now that I've got my breakfast down (yogurt w/fruit and oatmeal). The main problem I'm having with the core plan is I don't have quick-eating stuff around. I mean, on Flex you've got the tv dinners and sandwiches and all. Bread isn't core. I know, I could use my points for bread every day, and I guess I'll do just that. It's just taking me a while to work my way around this thing, is all. I'll figure it out. In the meantime, I'm quite contentedly full.

I lost 2.4 lbs. this week. I was hoping it would be more, but at least I lost, which is always good. Then I made my trek to the store to replenish some of my Core foods like ff milk, yogurt and cottage cheese. I bought frozen fruit. TJ's has a lovely variety and they taste better than canned. I found grits and polenta in chubs. And there were Girl Scout cookies outside the store. Now, how could I turn those little faces down, huh? I bought a single box of Caramel deLights (nearly the same as Samoas except with milk instead of dark chocolate). And since I was so hungry (I'd run out of the house without breakfast) I ate two of the cookies, no biggie. When I got home I gave them to Rich. "Put them away," I said, then I forgot about them.

Fast forward about three hours. I'd finished all my errands (lube job for car, filling up the tank, a few more groceries) and I was home, tired but not sure I was hungry. I had a diet Coke (which made me cold, blah!) and Rich came in with a new (Core) concoction he'd created for dessert tonight. I realized that I was VERY hungry, and I had promised myself the grits when I got home.

So, I put the grits in a bowl and while waiting for them to heat up I espied the box of cookies that Rich had "hidden" guess where? On the counter next to the stove, which is underneath the microwave.

Folks, I cannot tell you exactly what happened after, except to say all common sense and Weight Watcher goals fled as I stuffed cookie after cookie in my mouth. Eight (8) cookies had bitten the dust when I was through, to the tune of 12 points. I'm thinking now I shouldn't have bought the damned cookies in the first place. That's nearly half of my 35 extra points I had for the entire week! :(

I just don't know about me.

And here is the main reason why I went on that mini binge.

Breakfast
4 oz. Coke - 1 (make that 31 points down)
2 GS cookies - 3
bowl of yogurt w/partially thawed frozen cherries

Not enough food.

Lunch
8 GS cookies - 12
bowl of grits w/ICBINB spray - 1
(rats, I need to count the points for the spray)

Dinner
Salad w/overcooked chicken tenders :(
yogurt/fruit dessert


Oh well. I had to blow my shit, eventually.

More when I eat it.

I got on the scale this morning, just to satisfy my curiosity. I was 301 lbs. I couldn't see what the decimal was, but that's okay because it was unofficial. So I've lost a couple of pounds, yay me. It's been a pretty easy week, I think I'm fortunate.

Breakfast
lite yogurt - 2
regular fruit cup - 1
shredded wheat w/1/2 cup skim milk

Lunch
Rich's chili w/corn (dinner a couple of days ago)
a few blueberries
Diet cherry Coke
And I treated myself to a cranberry/white chocolate cookie - 6

Dinner
don't know yet

I'm going to spare a little time this weekend to prepare my vittles ahead of time. I'm not late enough for anybody to notice, but I AM late and it might matter one day.

Breakfast
shredded wheat w/1/2 cup milk
yogurt and sweet fruit cup - 1
coffee w/nf creamer

Lunch plan
Spinach pie
grilled chicken breast
ffsf chocolate pudding

Dinner
Spaghetti w/meat sauce afaik :)
Salad
Pudding for dessert?

When I stay up late and/or am sleepy, I want to eat. Those Snickers on top of the fridge called out loudly last night. I managed to take myself off to bed without eating them. I kept thinking about how *light* I had been after a couple of years on WW. I want to be that way again. I want my back not to hurt if I stand longer than 5 minutes. I want my knees to quit popping (I sound like a castanet convention when I get out of a chair!), I want to be able to FIT in a chair. I want to look good in my clothes. I know one or two (or even three or four) Snickers mini's won't completely ruin my weight loss efforts (I'll just start all over again); it was the compulsion that bothered me, like I had no control. This is something I refused to deal with the first time I lost weight. Back then I was doing so much exercise that a slip or two every week didn't make much difference. I'm not exercising like that this time (so far, anyway), my knees won't let me. The compulsiveness has got to go.

Speaking of exercise, I got a free pass to 24-hour Fitness for 24 days. 24-hour Fitness was MY health club the first time around. I think of the fun I used to have there (seriously!) even now. I'm gonna cruise by on Saturday, after my meeting and see what's what, maybe try the elliptical and the recumbent bike and see if my knees complain.

I've been crazy busy. Starting on a new eating plan (I think I like "diet" better, it's a shorter term) consumes much CPU, plus I've got a blanket to do for a baby due in mid-March (the blanket, not the baby; mom's going on maternity leave then), plus I have a fic to finish that's due on Friday. =:O I've got a lot on my mind.

Back to the eating plan. It's going well. I can eat a lot of stuff on Core. Unfortunately, not much of it is grab and go. A lot of it has to be cooked or prepared in some way, so I end up not eating at all, which is not good. Would you believe, I'm already feeling smaller. (I told this to Rich and he laughed. Yeah, laugh it up, fuzzball. Six months from now *you* will be begging *me* for sex!) I guess I'm psyching myself out, but I can do worse.

Like eat up all my extra points. I'm already down to 8 and we're only halfway through the week. Today I'm going to buy a salad with some meat in it for lunch, I was too rushed to fix anything this morning. (This is what I mean by grab and go.) Most days so far, the only thing not OP (on the Core plan) is the Coke I drink first thing in the morning. I plan to stop that as soon as I run out of Coke. What? I'm supposed to throw it away? Idon'tthinkso! I did ask Rich to hide the Snickers mini's from me. He put them on top of the fridge... *headdesk* (Must remember to give him hell about that.)

I have been SO tempted to eat stuff I shouldn't... like Snicker's minis. And they have my favorite Buffalo Chicken pizza in the caf today. I was honestly going to go ahead and have it, and count the points against it, but I don't have enough points, alas, so it looks like salad with chicken in it for lunch and I need to scrounge around for some other stuff to snack on.

I have to find a workout routine that won't start my knees screaming. Walking is absolutely out. If I do it too long, seems like they overheat or something (they actually get HOT) and I'm afraid I'll do more damage. If the gym at LV has an elliptical, I'll try that. I used to love riding that. No Gazelle until I've lost a few pounds. I'm afraid I'll break it. The weight limit is only 250. :( It'll be a good alternative once I lose more. And there's the pool... I just need to get over my squeamishness about the fact of other people's private parts in the same water as I am. Yes, I know about chlorine. I wonder if it's enough. :p I have a suit and a nose clip. I need some prescription goggles to be golden.

I do not remember what I had to eat for the entire day yesterday, let alone the two days before, so I have to start the food post with today.

12 oz. bottle of Coke - 3
shredded wheat w/2/3 cup milk & Splenda
cottage cheese w/non-core fruit cup - 1
Fuji apple (best apples on the planet!)
*planned*
green salad w/chicken breast
banana
diet pop

I'll write out what I actually had later (hopefully).

For lunch I had a two small salmon fillets over a salad of greens, green beans and potatoes. Too yummy! :) Also had a diet Cherry Pepsi. I still have some left on my desk. Almost forgot the banana, also yummy. All Core, btw.

For dinner Rich made the spinach pie from a Weight Watchers recipe. I had that plus a broiled striper fillet, and ffsf chocolate instant pudding.

6 oz. Coke - 1.5 (I had no time to eat and needed a jump start... so sue me!)

After meeting I went grocery shopping and when I got home I had:

bowl of shredded wheat w/ff milk and Splenda (we're on the Core plan, now, so no measuring and no counting ;) and some grapes

Later I ate some ff plain yogurt w/Splenda and chunky mixed fruit, a cup of coffee with ff milk to which I had to add 1/2 tbs. non-dairy creamer - .5. I suppose I could get some ff half-and-half for my coffee... or just take the point, I'll see how it goes.

For dinner Rich fed me a salad with spray-on vinaigrette dressing and avocado! Avocado was always a penalty item in the Flex plan, so it felt great to have some on my salad without feeling guilty; 3 baked pork ribs - 5.5 points, and a flavored whole-grain side dish that was very delicious. For dessert we had a fruit salad with sweet frothy milk (closest he could get to whipped cream, LOL). It was very good. A yummy dinner, but my stomach doesn't know what to make of it all. My famotidine is gonna get a workout until I get accustomed to real food.

I'm hungry now, but I'm gonna go to bed as soon as I correct my first post which misstates my start weight. :)

I went to a meeting this morning. I set the clock for my usual rising time and actually rose. LOL It was a nice meeting, nice leader, nice people. I'd purchased a monthly pass yesterday, so I was covered as far as fees. I got my packet of shiny new books (they have changed EVERYTHING since the last time I darkened their door), learned more about the Core plan and went from the meeting to the grocery store. I bought fat-free milk, plain yogurt, and cottage cheese, can fruit, frozen veggies, shredded wheat cereal and some other stuff that slips my mind right now. I had a very strong desire for Snickers minis (no doubt because there's a huge bag of them on the kitchen table) but I managed to resist. :)

I wanted to do the Core plan this time, not only because it's different but because I want to learn to eat good food, REAL food. I don't have to count points or measure with this plan (which I love) and the Core foods really do keep me full. And if I get empty I can always eat more. I also have 35 points a week for other stuff... like those Snickers minis (4 for 4 points) if the call gets too loud. ;)

Almost forgot to mention, I weighed in today at 304.6. I actually LOST a pound since the day I decided to go back on WW. And I weighed 305.6 with no clothes on, I had clothes on at the weigh-in today so I actually lost a little bit more than a pound. That's a damn good start!

Off to the food post.

breakfast = 9
cup light yogurt - 2
cherry fruit cocktail cup (lite syrup) - 2
Kim's coffee - 2
1 pkg instant grits w/1 tsp. butter - 3
(needed the butter today)

1 snickerdoodle... This was "force of habit." I'd downed half the cookie before I even realized, hello? You're on Weight Watchers! = 4

lunch, 1 taco l/o from last night = 11
1/2 c. ground beef - 5
flour tortilla - 4
salsa - 0
1/8 c. shredded cheddar - 2
chopped onion - 0

Rich and I are going to dinner and a movie tonight. I forget the name of the movie (Vantage Point?) but the dinner is Chinese. Chinese is low point if you pick the right dishes. I know which are the right dishes. ;) I'll post it later.

because it was raining and traffic was the suck, I left work late and was therefore late for the meeting, I got off at the wrong exit and ended up halfway around the world and said "fuck it" and went home. :( There's no meeting tomorrow evening, so I'll go Saturday morning. I need to get up off my ass on the weekends, anyway.

I've got two Snickers mini's coming to me. I'm also way behind in drinking water. I forgot to include the Diet Dr. Pepper I had with my lunch in my food post but that was 0 points anyway, so no matter.

I checked the WW site; a monthly pass (which includes online stuff) is now $40!!!!11eleven Sheesh, I spend that much each month I won't have any money for food and will thereby lose weight! Of course I'm paying it because nothing else I've tried has worked. I get out of breath going to the toilet! That's pretty outrageous.

I remember the first time I was on WW, regretting that I hadn't gotten on pounds ago, and would therefore have less to lose. My attitude now is, at least I'm getting on it NOW. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is a mystery, I'm not gonna worry about it. I'll have to work out something for exercise, maybe dust off my weight training books. I'm afraid to get on the Gazelle because the weight limit is 250. I don't want to break the damned thing. Guh. I'm not looking forward to the moving part. Jeez, m'knees! :(

cup light yogurt = 2
cherry fruit cocktail cup (lite syrup) = 2
1/2 cup Coke = 1 (took my pills with... gotta break that habit)
Kim's coffee = 2
1 pkg instant grits w/1 tsp. butter = 3 1*

*They taste okay without. :)


I plan to get a salad with meat for lunch. Rich is onboard with dinner. :)

Much later:

Okay, I'm home because I managed to get turned around and never got to WW. Oh, well. They're open every day.

I had a salad with chicken and pineapple chunks. It was very good. I'll take, I guess, 5 points mostly for the chicken plus 1 point for a bitty package of Town House crackers (no bigger than my thumb!).

Rich made tacos tonight. Oh, well. I'll update that later.


1 taco = 11*
1/2 c. ground beef - 5
flour tortilla - 4
salsa - 0
1/8 c. shredded cheddar - 2
chopped onion - 0

4 Snickers mini's - 4


*point counts from Dotti's Weight Loss Zone

Total points for the day = 29

305.6 The most I've EVER weighed.

I'm going back to WW this evening. My health isn't the incentive (although it's a major issue), it's my VANITY. I've been buying clothes like crazy, I can get into them, but they don't look good. So I give them away and buy larger ones. I can't go up another size, it's just ridiculous. I look at the stuff I have and think about how much better everything would hang if it wasn't draped over balls of fat. (Literally. I can see them under my skin.)

So I need the structure of the meetings, and I'm able to pay for it so I'm doing it. My goal weight is 200 lbs. I know it seems a lot. It's 20 lbs. more than the lowest I got but I'm older now, and my knees are an issue. At this point I'm not sure if I can exercise at the level I did when I lost the weight before. It's still a 100 lb. loss. I don't expect any more than that.

I'll be making a food post every day that I'll add to as the day goes on.

Wish me luck.

I forgot about my sidebar. I'll leave it for now because it's historical. I alway seem to stress about my weight at the beginning of the year...

Tuesday = weigh in day. Today's weight: 277.0. I lost two-tenths of a pound. I blame my Baby Ruth binge.

Nothing for me to do but carry on. I know how to do that. I looked for a job for a year.

Today I have running around to do, and tomorrow I start new job. I think I might lose a little faster once I go back to work because I won't have time to sit around and eat all day.

Idle hands and all that good stuff.

Gotta go.

Yesterday, I ate 18 fun size Baby Ruth bars. I'm not ashamed, neither am I happy. I should probably find one of those Overeaters Anonymous groups because that was some seriously COMPULSIVE shit! I ate the first 9 one after the other. I had a second full package and I sat at this very computer, late last night and ate the other 9. One orphan is left, sitting on my desk in front of the monitor. That one wouldn't be there if I hadn't gotten THOROUGHLY sick of the damn things by the time I got to it. Thoroughly sick doesn't do me any good (I've gone on binges like this before), a few days and I'm in love with and craving the damn things again. I'm not gonna even mention the box of full size Baby Ruths down in the car. There are 8 of those left. I don't want them enough to go all the way down to the garage in my pajams for them, so I'm they're safe. :p

Needless to say, I didn't Gazelle, either. 15 minutes this morning, I promise me!

Breakfast was

12 oz. Juice = 2 (fiber doncha know)
1 cup yogurt = 2
Kim's coffee = 2

I remember when I got down some size and only had 24 (rather than 30) points to play around with every day. I was eating 6 points for breakfast and lunch and 10 points for dinner. You better believe I made them count. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. Rumor has it that people have done beautifully losing weight on their *ultimate* points, IOW the points they'd be eating when they got to goal, from the beginning. I'm not sure I want to go there, though. You don't lose if you don't eat ENOUGH, either. My 277 lbs. need all 30 points. (Working on making them GOOD points.)

No candy for me today.

Okay, so I didn't get around to the Gazelle last night. Rich and I watched a double-feature on DVD and I worked on new grandbaby's blanket. Said blanket is nearly done, so at least I accomplished that. Oh, and I opted to spend my 10 leftover points plus 6 from my "stash" on some microwave caramel corn. Which for some reason didn't taste as good as I remembered. That didn't keep me from eating it all, though.

I was able to download some software for my iRock mp3 player, so I can load some new tunes onto it... when I find the damned USB connector. Found it, but it doesn't work like it's supposed to so now I have to figure out what's wrong. *kicks*

So, I didn't go to a WW meeting today, either. (Remember those good intentions you're walking on when you're in hell? :D) I've decided to go during the week, to the store I went to when I worked at Amgen before. Hopefully, I'll see my last leader again, she was great, but if not, I'll still go because the meetings help. (Probably the reason I failed my second try was because I tried to do it on my own.)

Maybe Gazelle today, especially if I can get my iRock up. :)

I ate a bunch of sundry stuff this morning, nothing different than I usuall eat/drink (C2, yogurt, Rich's creative juice (shut up!). I had a tamale for lunch, only ONE because so many points. I'll have some milk a little later.

Seems like I'm screwing up a lot but one thing I learned my first go-round with WW... you can't beat yourself up about screwups. Tomorrow really IS another day, you get to start over and forget about previous mess-ups. I know no matter how much I don't exercise or eat wrong, I AM consuming fewer calories than I was last week and I AM moving around much more.

We're having shrimp jambalaya for dinner. Shrimp is my friend. ;)

I got up this morning and actually washed, brushed and got dressed without going to my computer first. I think the world must've wobbled in it's orbit. /sarcasm I had a message on my cell phone from Carol at Amgen. Instead of starting on the 17th, they want me to start on the 10th.

I think God really likes me. :D

Breakfast: (brace yourself, Emma :)
12 oz. mixed fruit & vegetable juice = 2
(Rich has a juicer he makes this with. He put celery in today. No more celery please. It took 2 packs of Splenda to make that shit palatable!)
1 cup lite yogurt = 2
1 cup hash browns = 5.5
(Rich's specialty. They're sublime when he doesn't burn them. He didn't burn them today.)

I was doing laundry and repotting plants and moving things around to make room for our new TV stand and I just didn't have time to eat!

Lunch:
100 calorie bag kettle corn = 2
1 cup 1% milk mixed w/a little Milo = 3
(thanks for the tip solonia :)
2 pieces WW buttercreme caramel candy = 1.5
(this candy is better if you pick the crunchies off, they're gritty :p)

Dinner is coming up but I haven't eaten it yet.

As for workouts, I feel like I worked out today, hauling flowerpots from the depths of the junk closet and potting plants. I'm also doing laundry. I did NOT get up this morning and work out. I'm kinda rethinking that. LOL I'm in a lot more pain in the morning now than I was back when I first lost the weight 5 years ago. I was in too much pain when I woke up to do anything but eat something and take my meds. So, we'll stick to working out in the evening. As such, I passed last night but I'm back on the Gazelle tonight.
