Weigh-In - A few Gains ( Good & not sooo great)

Starting Weight = 320 lbs 
This Week = +3 ( -13.8 lbs since back from school)
Lost from start = 39 lbs

BLAH! (」゜ロ゜)」This past week was a 3 lb gain!!

Buuuttt I know exactly what happened, since this week is another HOLIDAY I'll be watching to make sure this week isn't a repeat. 

We actually did some real grocery shopping yesterday.

Last week all we purchased were item to make the turkey,brisket and matzo ball soup!

Let's just say that after two nights in a row of having our "holiday dinner" plus leftovers (that we still have) we were all looking for something else to snack on. It was just a very off week :-/

This week we'll have a fast and the breaking of a fast... that will be very interesting. I know my parents will be fasting, I on the other hand have some medications I'll be eating with...otherwise I'll be fasting along with my parents. A friend of mine will be spending Yom Kippur with us this year! YAY:]

Alright, to kinda sum up my plan for the breaking of the fast...

Usualllllyyy I'd have a few bagels and whatever else....ect......ect......
**( I had one bagel this year :} )

( I havn't been home for breaking of the fast since I was in High School, so being home for all these holidays will be a new experience to learn from it seems.

Changin' up Breakfast

Oatmeal time!

On sale for buy 1 get 1!

The two I chose :]

Never expected to have a craving to try oatmeal- I remember having a bit when I was younger ( my grandparents loved the stuff!).  There was a buy 1 get 1 deal this week :} The variety packs made sense since I wasn't sure what flavors I like. 

I made mine with milk :}

The first flavor I tried was the Apple & Cinnamon in the Lower Sugar Package. It sounded great because I knew I could chop up some Golden Delicious with it! The last touch was some real cinnamon... I'm so happy I ended up loving it --- Don't know what I would have done with two boxes otherwise.

MY GOOD GAIN *other than finding a nice new breakfast option!* ( JUST SAYIN)...

I beat Katamari Damacy the other night! Like I said I would :P

hahha I play this game way too much.

yayyyyy!

I just finished cleaning the house.. It's 5 Am :/ I should probably get some sleep now.

I really need to get myself to be earlier

Goodnight!

WW Weigh-In :)!!

Starting Weight = 320 lbs 
This Week = -6.6 ( -16.8 lbs since back from school)
Lost from start = 42 lbs

I lost 6.6lbs this week!! I'm almost back down to my lowest weight on this journey, very excited, proud and  relived! I was worried I'd be disappointed WW wise, this past week has been all power foods and lots (and lots) of water! 
I'll have to take note of this week....incase  I look back and really try to figure out what happened this week :]

• WATER

Drinking water like nobody's business..- I peed a ton this past week, just sayin.

• Power foods

Another goal for this past week was to try and keep things as natural and whole as possible. This lead to a lot of power foods..

• I really kept track of Sodium, cholesterol and saturated fats...

• Portion control 

This was a big one & I'm still working on it!

 The lowest I've been while on this journey is about 3 lbs away!!!

Publix had another deal this past week for buy 1 get 1 free

cantaloupe was this weeks miracle snack!

Sweet-Potato Casserole 

My favorite dish to make for the holidays

I made some tweaks that went unnoticed ( in a good way)

added WAY less brown sugar than I usually would...

We had or Rosh Hashanah Dinner last night, our fridge literally only has a huge turkey, brisket, matzo ball soup and sweet-potato casserole in it...

As for the gym, I think we are going back on wednesday! It figures that this week gets a little more difficult after a good  loss :P 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! (totally unrelated!!)

I just want to let everyone know I'll be beating the last level of Katamari Damacy for PS2 tonight...

no doubt about it! (maybeeee)

Good afternoon everyone!
