I definitely have my eye on the prize! Obviously there is no "prize" to lose 20 more lbs as of right now.
Wed is our initial weigh-in at work, the goal is to lose 10% of your weight in 12 weeks, I've already started, I wanted to wait, but I didn't want those 5 holiday pounds to turn into 10 before we started, so I will just have to work super hard to accomplish my goals!
Ofcourse a "prize" would be buying all new clothes, because right now my dress pants are soooooo sloppy looking! I bought a pair of 14's the other day, and they fit perfect, I love them! I had some size 14 jeans, but I need more dress pants! I may go to the consignment store tomorrow after my lil guys game, I don't want to pay much for them because I hope in a couple of months they will be too big! :)
My goal for summer would be a 10/12, hopefully a 10, because I should hit a size 12 this Spring, just in time for shorts!
I would love to be smaller then a 10/12, but realistically once I get there, I'm probably going to go into maintenance phase.
I just want to be at a healthy weight, and when I wore a 10, way back in the day (think 20 years ago) I was around 15-16 years old, you know when girls wore belly shirts-scary for sure! ha! And yes I wore them, they were very popular when I was in middle school! I can remember being small enough to wear sports bras to softball tournaments and taking off my game shirt, and only walking around between games in a sports bra, in public around a ton of people.
I doubt I will ever get back into a bikini again-yep wore one of those too, ok I will get reminiscing, lol!
This week I've done great!
Here are today's eats:
Breakfast
35 bread toasted with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter-165 calories
Lunch
9 tortilla chips-140 cals
1/2 cup of refried beans-110 cals
2 tablespoons of light sour cream-40 cals
total cals 290 cals
I put all of this in a bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, salsa, cayenne pepper,
jalepeno's, I know the toppings might have had 20-30 cals in them but since they are
zero points on Weight Watchers I'm counting them zero
Snack
160 calorie bag of chips
150 calorie betty crocker single serve chocolate molten cake
Total cals 310
Dinner
grilled cheese on 35 bread w/2 pieces of cheese 190 cals-loaded with lettuce and onion!
15 great value frozen fries 120 cals
3 tollhouse mini break n bake 150 cals
Total cals 460
GRAND TOTAL CALS: 1225
Total example of being prepared! today my kids were treated to the bakery and I didn't sample one thing!
I got to eat a single serve piece of cake and 3 mini chocolate chip cookies, a diet with cookies..................say what?
I wasn't hungry one bit today, matter of fact I'm full and almost miserable right now! I do like something small that is sweet after my dinner, I think it signals my brain that I'm finished eating for the day! I don't know but it works!
I did do the elliptical for 15 mins today and burned 197 calories doing that and like 68 calories for walking 10 mins on my afternoon break! so once that is added in MFP says I consumed 1081 cals today. I can have 1220. so I have 119 to spare, yay! :) I won't feel bad if I go over by 119 tomorrow-it works its-self out in the end.
Crane is on board with me too, so that is so very helpful. we work together, take breaks together, complain together, and eat lunch together, so one of us can't be downing a 1200 calorie lunch while the other one is sticking to around 250-350 calorie lunch!
Sunday is going to be challenging, because we are having friends over for my speciality-lasagna, I will have to do extra good tomorrow, so I can splurge a lil Sunday night!
Excited to see where this goes!
