Weigh-in!! Secret Birthday Present!!!?

This Week = +1.0 lbs 

Current Weight= 267.6 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 52.4 lbs

What  a busy week(s)!!

Alrighty, so this past week was a gain. Do I want to elaborate on my gain? 

Other than the fact that I snacked a lot? Nope! I'm 100% sure that's why I gained!

SO NOW...

 It's now almost time for my next weigh-in!!!

Less snacking this week (yes, check!)

I don't have too much to update on  weigh-loss wise.

It's my 24th Birthday today! :) 

Hello Spring !!:)

I've been waiting more than a week to open this secret surprise birthday present!

Thanks to a good friend! :)

I've been using an ancient fossil of a phone for manyyyy years now, my family finally upgraded. I have a phone that I can take video and pictures with :) (big deal? yes! -to me!! :)  yay)  So much more convenient! I was thinking of getting a new camera that would record and be more compact and convenient for everyday. So, instead now I have a phone that can do it all. Hello 2013 goodbye 1990's!

Anyways, this time next week I'll be having my surgery! :) That's the next one!
Then after that..I'll be doing some healing and back to regular :)

Happy Spring everyone!

Weigh-In Update & a little REWIND

This Week = +1.0 lbs 

Current Weight= 267.6 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 52.4 lbs

Alrightyyy. Another gain..+2.8 if I add up the total between these last two weeks. So, that's super awesome fun! I do this with a lot of things. I start doing well and the next thing I know is I'm off track and hardly trying (but maybe more like  tricking myself into believing I'm trying?).

I know what works, when I want to have a good week...

So- Why is it so hard to stick with what works and what I know is good?

It feels like self sabotage!

So, I took it back to the beginning  I think I need a bit of a reminder. I'm glad I've saved all this reading material!

I guess that's what they are here for? 

I'm now finishing another booklet ( weight record books). It feels like I JUST started a new one  few weeks ago. I guess 15 (normally 16 in a booklet but one of the boxes were skipped) went by without me realizing. Maybe it's not the best way to go about thinking? But I looked at my 1st record on the booklet I'm ending now... I'm seeing I lost -9 lbs in this entire book. That's with the ups and downs...Averaging = -0.6 a week.

But looking back now, most of those weigh-ins are - not + weeks!

I'm trying to get my PS2 to ply my workout DVDs... I'm not sure what's up with my PS2 :(. I'll workout with one of those this afternoon.

This is why I Love Spare Change!

My grandma gave me a ton of pennies when I was younger....
of course I kept saving and adding to the pennies..

 This past weekend I decide it's time to see how much my collection adds up to!
Plus the drawer I was storing all my jars and coin purses in was being weighed down it was bending the drawer.. (opps!). D:

Aww! look how sad Lady looks D: lol she is so silly sometimes... 

So, next up was the trip to the bank!

the bag was pretty much all pennies so when I got the total of $61.00 I was surprised as heck!

I'm not trying to brag...but wow I'm SO SURPRISED! Very cool.

I kinda have a new love for change now!

Everyone saving jars and coin purses of small change... go chash that in for a good surprise! :)

The poof I made the last time I was feeling crafty!

Finally a picture...

The place I wanted to hang it initially turned out to be a bit of a challenge, so for now it's over my bed :P

last night: lemon chicken with honey mustard sauce and a flax seed crust!

Some had breadcrumbs and some didn't!

these were thin chicken cuts..
I also added some green onion on top. 

This was the honey mustard I used to lightly coat my chicken with.. It was a mixture of this dressing, flaxseeds, and paprika.

Thanks to some  a couple of my friends, I was told to try the Arnold Palmer Arizona. I 1st tried the awesome ¢99 cans (you can get one at a gas station anywhere)  Oh my :} I loved it! It was very refreshing! 

Good Afternoon Everyone!
Here's to a new better week :)

I'm also doing this while I'm waiting to watch the new episode of Girls on HBO.

About to head out to the gym! I havn't gone for a while, on friday I felt as though my dad had given me his cold. That afternoon I started feeling my usual self again... uhh???  I'm glad I didn't get a cold, but what the heck!?

This monday one of our family friends had a family member pass, so the funeral was monday. The destination was very far away..so the day was spent traveling to and from. 

I'll be going back now! :)

yay a loss this  (past ) week

Good afternoon

My Happy Valentines! & last weeks late update!

I love homemade decor :)  these ren't mind..but they should be!

This was really my 1st year actually doing something special for Valentines!  I went to go see Beautiful Creatures, in theaters.

My date was very sweet and gave me a dozen beautiful red roses and a heart shapes box of chocolates.... ( I never really mentioned to this person that I am having issues with chocolate atm or that I'm trying to be conscious of what I eat...otherwise I think it would have been different.)

I never actually pay much attention to Valentines... no biggie! So thankfully I never felt any kind of bitterness towards the day.  This Valentines was a nice change, even though it was  pretty basic night out. :) I hadn't opened the chocolates for a good 3 days (since I can't / shouldn't really be having any with the gallbladder issue) But after I did open them they didn't last thatt long. D: ahhh....

Last weeks Weigh-In Update!

This Week = +1.4lbs 

Current Weight= 267 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 52 lbs

good night!

Weigh-In & Workout DVDs!

This Week = -2.5 lbs 

Current Weight= 266 lb

Start Weight = 320 lbs 

Total Lost = 54 lbs

So, at some point this week it occurred to me I'm officially well into the 60's (266). I think 269or 8 were too close to the 70's, where I've been stuck at for a while. So, that's kinda super awesome to adjust to these new numbers!

One of my buddies from WW meetings was giving away some of her workout DVDs, since nobody wanted them... I took them off her hands. hahha

hahha I havn't done these yet but I plan to this weekend :)

hahah I never thought I'd own anything that had to do anything with Richard Simmons.. don't know why. Haha what a cutie!

These I made for my parents..since they requested it after dinner 

Since I'm not having chocolate atm I decided to make a fruit smoothie!

This morning I got my consultation and I'll have a scheduled date for my gallbladder being removed by monday. When I spoke to the Dr.  he said I'd be out the same day! :)

This was a late update... AHH! my weigh-in is on Saturday morning.

I'm feeling so bloated and tired (the gym helped a bit) but I don't know what the scale will be looking like. Normally I have a scale at home that is 3 lbs. off from the WW scale but the battery for that is dead.

O:
we will see!
Good night & TGIF!!!

Weigh-in Update & Crafts!

This Week = -.6 lbs 

Current Weight= 268.8 lbs

Start Weight = 320 lbs

Total Lost = -51.2 lbs

How is it that I'm always forgetting how much I love watermelon?! A few people recommended I  eat more watermelon and strawberries since I was having a problem getting enough fiber. I was happy to find out they will be in season sometimes very soon in March - July. :) Awesome!!!
*edit I was recommended to eat watermelon for how much water is in it..not so much the fiber it turns out.

So refreshing!  (Credit: Harsha K R/Flickr)

As for strawberries... they are okay. They are always kinda tart?
This week felt a bit uneventful.. and I just received a piece for my camera that was broken! So now I'll be able to take my own pictures again.

YAY Crafts 

I've been feeling like I need to do some crafting! You know that urge? " I need to make something with my hands..." kinda feeling.

I forgot to take a picture of the sides before I started... It was just a plain white ceramic  bowl that I've had since I was little... I never especially likes it and was about to throw it away...

But then I decided I should just bedazzle it.... So I cut out pictures from a few magazines and an Illustration from Alice In Wonderland I printed out. I have random print outs just for this reason.
THEN of course there needed to be beads glued to the top!
Sometimes I think I'm addicted to hot glueing...

I didn't really have a place to store my brushes ..so this was the perfect height for them!
(Front)

Turns out a friend of mine was giving away tons of brushes she never used. Before that I never needed a "place" for brushes. (Back)

My second project - Tissue paper flowers! There were made from coffee filters and colored with watercolors

the coffee filter flowers live here now :}

So a while back I had this same feeling and worked on ^those^ projects ... and I have one more I haven't done yet. I was waiting for some the next time I feel like making something! (now)
I bought tissue paper to make a pom pom for my room.

Seems easy enough! I'll be trying this tonight or this afternoon. :)

Have a great week!
