Hello Blog!
Today was my weigh in day & as I expected I gained. I was up 2 Pounds.... I guess my vacation did me in a bit. When I say "vacation".. I mean me. It was me who made my "not so great food choices".
It's as if I forgot what I was doing. Current Weight: 277 Total loss: -43
My 1st step back into "my world" was the shopping.... bought all my fruits veggies meats & wheat bread.
I'm excited to get back into it... the problem was me thinking to myself "this one meal won't make a difference" and so on but several times. When I think about it now I feel the better food choices would have made me feel better in general. Did I enjoy what I was eating on vacation? sure... was it worth 2 lbs? NO WAY! :) I'll keep this in mind.
I'm still waiting on some pictures from the trip! I'll have to ask my friend for some. Especially the fresh water spring we went rafting in.
I'm ready to lose what I gained this past week & more!
Goodnight

( I have some catching up to do on everybody else's blogs!)
This weekend was so amazing!
We went rafting in a freshwater Spring
Halloween Horror Nights (two nights)
Spending time with friends from home was a real treat! I don't have any pictures from the trip myself but may get some from my friends who had cameras! I did have some crazy dinners.. it wasn't exactly weight watchers safe food vacation & did get a shake from Ben & Jerry's in the Universal Park... but that was before a long day at the park running around for hours! My foot was fine till the last day at the park *the last hour there ...the aleve I was taking had been failing me. (that's better than I had expected! )
Oh!!! I finally was able to swallow a pill without any type of tricks. This was old fashioned swallow with water! We were in the park & it felt like a good time to take the Aleve again... the lines for food were long & I honestly didn't want to stop everyone to get food for me to take a pill. I stopped & asked for some talking through( my friend was able to give me some pointers) ... YESS :) after the 1st time I was able to do it 3 other times :) very proud. haha
Before I left! Never got to post these pictures. My picasa is working again!
I followed instructions on how to cook an artichoke.
This week I was + 0.4! :[ I already expressed what I think may have happened this week... I was actually expecting a little worse.
I'm packing for my trip to Orlando! I'll be seeing my friends & going to Halloween Horror Nights for the next few days. I'll be back late on Sunday. My picasa isn't working right now & I had pictures to put up.. I suppose I can try again soon or post it next time :]
I've been working late nights in the computer labs recently. I come home late very very hungry... I bring snacks (cheerios or a bar- not so great since they usually are better if you are going to be active afterwards) why I usually stick with the cheerios. I've been feeling like all I eat is the same easy things now. Cheerios for snacks and a sandwich on the run. I've been eating things at the wrong times ( I wouldn't say over eating... because I'm not). I think what I'm saying is a need some new snack or eat put together dinners.
VENTING WARNING:
Also another problem has been when I have time to cook and prepare for the week ,so I don;t have to rush, the meat I want to use is always frozen & that hasn't been working out. I have everything to make lemon chicken, just no time to wait for it to unfreeze.
That's the issue for now...I'm sure I'll be able to make more time soon! This weekend is Halloween Horror Nights though!
I have a question concerning one of my roommates. I've brought up my feeling towards them not cleaning their dishes,pots,pans,silverware and cups several times. The patterns seem to change for a few days & then goes back quickly. I'm having a problem letting this person really know what an issue this has turned into. I love cooking, but when our kitchen isn't accessible I can't say I enjoy it very much at all. I've been avoiding our kitchen. Our first week I cleaned up our kitchen...but it was exhausting & not my messes.
I don't see this roommate much since our schedules are so different. I've been leaving notes & find one or two items cleaned or put away.
I'm not sure how to deal with it right now. I'm trying not to complain it's just a huge frustration right now ( what makes it so frustrating is it's so easy to fix!) I'm contemplating erasing this....since I wrote this out I'm feeling a little better. Maybe someone has some good roommate advice?
TOMORROW S weigh in day! I'm not sure how that will go... my diet, sleeping scheule has been so off Feeling like a real Debbie Downer, I apologize! Hope everyones week is going well so far.
SOO...it turns out, after I finished writing last night's blog, I was looking at the box of pudding mix & it was so simple I had to try it right then and there.
Like I said before, I'm really not into pudding, what jumped out at me/ the reason why I bought it was curiosity. I'm going to be calling my mom soon to tell her if she finds it in the market to pick some up & try it.
Last night was the second episode (new season) of Dexter & I still need to watch it!
Tonight was my 1st time watching Breakfast at Tiffany's!
I finally went shopping! The list helped alot... aside from some extras- I didn't overspend. It turns out my blankets were ruined after a bottle of Gamsol (a solvent that i use when painting with oils) spilt *leaked out onto my comforter & sheets. My comforter absorbed most of the the chemical, since I hadn't noticed it was happening at the time. I found out before we went to leave for the store.
The comforter was about 4 years old & wasn't salvageable... I wasn't %100 sure how it would wash out or dry. I got a new container for my Gamsol & it shouldn't be happening again!
I'm normally not much of a Jello/Pudding person.. but I saw this flavor & thought I should at least make it for my roommates and I.
:) Looks like it would be good. I'll be making this soon
Not sure polka dots & Zebra print "match" too well but they were cute & I needed something to sleep on ASAP!
I've been getting ready for the week by getting my homework done! I'm also going to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights on Friday & Saturday. I'll be home late Sunday :)
I thought I'd put in a screen shot of what the chart is looking like as of now. (the 1st entry is actually 11 weigh ins that I documented as one... there was no option to go back & document past weigh lost *like from meetings*. I didn't lose that much in a week! :)
