WW Weigh-In! & Prescription Issue??

Starting Weight = 320 lbs 
This Week = -2.8 lbs ( -10.2 lbs) 
Lost from start = 36 lbs

I weighed in This weekend, I go on Saturday mornings at 9:30. I lost 2.8 this past week :} yay!
I got my 2nd 5lb star :}! 

It took me a little bit to post this entry because I was feeling a bit under the weather. I hd just gotten a  new prescription for birth control, to regulate my periods. ( They are very out of whack..I'll skip the details). Apparently, it's a common problem for over weight women, so maybe this will cure itself in good time. Anyways, I didn't connect the fact that I had just started a new script to my sick feeling. Long story short... I figured it it, stopped taking the pills. For the most part I'm feeling a lot better, hopefully that was the issue and it's solved.
Those pills made my heart race super fast, I could feel it. I was pretty scared & hope taking this script didn't do any kind of damage,  I was taking it for almost a full week till I'd connected the dots.

After the gym I made myself a lettuce wrap with turkey and mushrooms. That was my 1st lettuce wrap...and it was pretty good! I didn't miss the bread at all.

yum!

We've got a lot of star fruit coming in..but nobody in the house eats them! But we do  give them away to friends and neighbors :}

our dog lady & The fish tank outside!

Tonight I made Salmon with Honey Mustard and roasted veggies on-top and on the side :] 

Goodnight!

We had a full moon last night, kinda brought back some memories with my grandma. She and I used to watch the moon together and or apart, it started when I was in sleep way camp one summer. I wrote her a letter telling her how much I had missed her. My grandma responded by telling me that even if we weren't in the same place, we'de still be looking up at the same beautiful moon.

Screencap from the movie Moonstruck, I love this movie ( in case  it wasn't mentioned a few hundred times)

WHOA! Just cough another glimpse of the moon tonight...the moon was a striking orange-yellow color  AND HUGEE, love it. :}

In the meantime... we already getting ready for a nice relaxing labor day {weekend}.  This weekend we'll be grilling, I'm pretty sure it will be just my parents and maybe my brother and his girlfriend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Aug.11.2012 / 289.4 = -1.6  {Total -5.2}

Aug.18.2012 / 285.4 = -4.0 {Total -9.2}

Aug. .25.12 / 288.0 = +2.6 { Total -6.6}
* these numbers are from  this recent summer. Since it's getting confusing separating my weigh-ins from when I started this summer and last summer I think I'll make list on a separate page soon. Make everything  little easier and less confusing to look at.


I knew I did pretty horribly this week WW wise. Instead I was very UNwise and ate whatever my family ate because I didn't have the energy to make something for myself as I would usually. Horrible excuses! haha Anyways I gained 2.6 Lb's this week! AHHH along with going to the gym...I can't imagine what this week may have been like if there was no gym.

Let me list off some of the things that I faced & did not turn down this week.

I feel like Mabel after she ate all those Smile Dips " Why did I do that?"

• Canoni's
• Pizza- not the whole wheat I usually make when I DO choose to have pizza.
• Italian bread (more white bread)
• pastry h'orderves ( the bad kind..if there are really any good kinds)
• cheese and wine

Tracking was kinda an on and off thing..

I was not on top of it this week for sure. But honestly, that 2 lbs kinda kicked me back into gear! At first I felt a little bit like failure, but then I thought bout all those things I could change from this past week.

we saw channel 4 news

This afternoon me and my dad decided to take a trip to the beach, we went yesterday to check out the waves. I took my camera this afternoon. The winds picked up from yesterday, nothing too bad! There were lots of people hanging out watching the waves and taking  walks.

The storm hasn't really effected our area too much! 

usually we lose power.. but surprisingly and thankfully we haven't lost power. The only effects we've had thus far is out cable going out no big deal at all! :]

Good night!!! + can't wait for the sun to come back out!

This is a small bowl, so inside I have 3 full tbs of the Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt (3 pts for 6oz.)

1tsp of Smuckers strawberry Jelly ( 1 pt)

1 tsp of Skippy's Reduced fat Peanut Butter ( 2pts)

About 4 or 5 cut up grapes ( 0 pts) :]

and a few nuts to top it all off ( 1pts)

Total of 7pts WW

I got this total from using an online Points Plus Calculator. I've been having trouble finding my calculator after moving! 

Calculator I've been using

I found this interesting recipe on Skinnytaste

and was surpisd I had even tried it hahaha, not that it doesn't look good, but the last time i tried greek yogurt..I was not  fan. I gave it another shot , I'm glad I did because this was a surprising treat.

The nuts really made this a treat, the added crunch was just perfect.

oh yeah and it was soo easy to make!

 Haha, so even though this my look strange... I'd still give it a shot, because like I said I'm glad I did. Plus Gina from skinny taste made it look so good!

Good night!

Weigh-in Update :]

Weigh-in Update Starting from July.28.12

July.28.2012 / 294.6 

Aug.4.2012 / 291.0 = -3.6

Aug.11.2012 / 289.4 = -1.6  {Total -5.2}

Aug.18.2012 / 285.4 = -4.0 {Total -9.2}

I was very shocked, for some reason I had already come to terms that i had gained this week ( I felt so bloated )...but  instead I lost 4lbs! Good news :]
What did I do? Uhhh....I definitely increased my resistance on the arc trainer, I realized it was getting a little to easy. The default resistance number is at 15 and this week I took it up to 17-20 going back and forth.
Going back to meetings is really great, instead of thursdays like before, I'm going on saturday mornings. I was surprised how packed the meetings are on Saturdays though, it's no surprise once you sit in on the meetings, the WW leader on Saturdays is so energetic, funny, informative, and very genuine. This weekend we mainly talked about drinks alcoholic and non...

We had a visiter the other day! He was right next to the screen door, so we tried to open the screen for him to get back out into the world! Instead he jumps off the screen, into some plants then into the pool. My parents were in the pool at the time :} my mom's reaction was priceless. He was a great swimmer, we got him out with a pool net ( we figured the chlorine water  wasn't the best water to be swimming around in). We find some really crazy things in our pool area.

His name is Icarus * ironic..I know, because he is a turtle :P

The other week we found a little turtle in the pool, my mom again had a funny reaction, she thought he was  leaf at first.

Good afternoon & weekend!

Hello Stranger ( Blogger) Let's talk!

All the sudden the other day I had cherries on the brain, they turned out to be perfect! Im guessing they are in season?

This blog was helping me stay on track, I realize that more than ever now that I'm back here...looking through old posts and revisiting people's blogs I followed. Reading what other people were doing helped me keep on track and made it enjoyable.
This will be my 1st week back on WW now WW 2012! I'm kicking myself now because I'll be posting my current weight, I didn't want to look for a while, but it's time to face the facts.
So, this past week I weighed in at  lbs 294.3
It's scary to think I was down to 270's, I plan on revisiting the 70's again but passing it on my way to 60's and so on...

As for what's going on these days..
First, out of the way I graduated college! :D
I'm also living home for a bit, looking for a job, doing some freelance at the same time..
Working out mondays, wednesdays and thursdays (gotta find some better music for working out).
A project that's been on the back burner for too long, my room at my parents. I'm starting off by donating some stuff that's been in my room forever... almost done with this large task. I'll be tackling my closet next.

I really can't wait to start posting here again, I'm also excited to see what everyone else has going on!

Good night!

Happy 1st Day of SPRING! { 23rd Birthday }

Good morning & Happy 1st Day of Spring!
It's 6:00 & I just checked my E-mail before getting ready for class :) the one class I had was canceled!
Now I have ome extra time to post.

I've been working on my thesis every extra chunk of time I have. When I'm not working on thesis, I'm looking for a job for after graduation!

The plan for today is to apply to more jobs, work on some painting homework and go out with some friends. :) sounds good to me!

Still stressed about the end of the year! There is a lot going on, it's crunch time now. Thankfully it will calm down more in a  few months!

:D
