Day: 1st day of the rest of my life!
What a rollercoaster week! The scale and I are having a love, hate, love, hate, love relationship. It seems that I either have a good "eating" day and "bad" workout day, or vice versa. . .today was both! My husband hasn’t been in a very good mood the past week, and I have a feeliing that he read my profile and found out my weight. . .well, not much I can do about it now. I need to be accountable to someone - and you guys out there have been amazing.
This past weekend I attended a PTA fundraising dinner and silent auction - pork was the main entree (unknown to me), so Wedn. the member in charge of the dinner sent out an email to all saying she just found out it was Ash Wedn. and that Catholics don’t eat meat on Fridays, so if you need a salmon entree instead of the pork, please let her know - well, I shot her an email back so quick - I attended catholic school for 12 years. . .(which is true). . .what I didn’t tell her is I was baptized Southern Baptist Feb. 19, 2006. . .I felt sort of guilty on Friday - so I didn’t eat meat at all that day! I went out with a friend to go shopping and get our hair done! What fun!
I did have a glass of wine Friday night — I am getting shocked learning how many calories are in alcohol. . .Saturday morning we had a snow storm - 6.5 inches - I took my kids to The Jonas Brothers Movie - there was only about 12 people in the theatre but the movie was showing as sold out - whimps! I paid $15 per ticket I was not missing that movie. Unfortunately - that darned bucket of popcorn waived at me - as did the Goobers - What kind of name is Goobers? I can’t believe I bought and ate them! I had trouble sleeping that night so, of course, I had tohave my peanut butter and jelly sandwhich - Sunday I spent most of the day packing up the stuff in my parents china cabinate and putting it on ebay and craigslist. . .lots of calls and sold several of the items - it was really a lot harder than I thought it would be - that was my childhood there - hard time sleeping again - late night snack - but at least it was a bowl of special k cereal.
I have really got to stop these late night snacks. Monday, I went to the grocery store, bypassed Starbucks (love their Venti White Choco Latte!), went to the "premade lunch" stuff - picked a chicken salad wrap. . .I thought I was doing really good - well last night I decided to check out some of these "apps" for my new iphone (I bought it Friday - did I mention that?!) I got a Lose It and a calorie counter and about freaked out - I had know idea how much fat and calories were in chicken salad - duh - the mayo - I felt pretty stupid. . .I worked out with my trainer today - and I re-committed to this life change. . .I stopped by the grocery store and picked up what I thought were fresh green beans, new potatos and carrots. . .when I got home, I asked my husband about the green beans - he told me to snap off the two ends - well, they didn’t snap off - they were really gross - found out they were asparagus - YECK! Okay, so I opened a frozen bag of greenbeans, threw away the asparagus tossed it into the crockpot with the carrots, onions, garlic (okay, reading this I realize I probably had breathe that kept ghosts away!) but it was pretty good. . .
Then my friend and co-leader for our daughters’ Brownie Troop called - said her kid was sick and I needed to have the meeting at my house - she had planned this one (there are four of us and we all take turns planning the meetings so it isn’t overwhelming) - we have been following a "Quest Journey’ for the last several months with different topics. . .and today’s topic was Making Healthy and Nutritious Food Choices - you’ve got to be kidding! She actually had shceduled a licensed dietian and nutrionist. . .okay, God - funny, funny - he does have quite a sense of humor! So we moved the meeting to my house - I didn’t tell Rick until about 30 minutes before the kids came over - I ran to the store and grabbed a couple of trays of fruit and some string cheese for their snack. . .it worked out well - however - under the "out of the mouths of babes" catagory - when the speaker asked the girls if they knew what a dietian was - my daughter, very innocently said: "My mommy’s one - she’s on a diet all the time!" The truth hurts!
Well - today was a good day - I’m going to sign off to put my kids to bed and I am going to try and take some benedryl to see if I can sleep so hopefully I won’t stay up and start snacking!
Good night everyone!
