Anniversaries

Happy Monday friends! This week I am lucky to have good friends, and love, always surrounding me. I’m really lucky that whenever I need a little pick me up, there is always someone there to help.

On Saturday I tweeted that I was frustrated because in over a month my weight has only dropped 3 lbs. Yes, I know, I had surgery and all that jazz, but it still gets confusing and a little bit frustrating.

Thankfully, I had a friend tweet me back and tell me to remember that:

A) I could’ve gained 3lbs, but I didn’t.

B) That the more I dwell, the more likely I am that the “food demons” will take over.

This was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment.

Yesterday, was my weigh-in, I weighed in at… 130.0lbs. This is a 0 gain and a 0 loss. So, I broke even. We can call that a win, right?

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming…

I’m honestly a little bummed about my 0lbs loss, I’m doing everything the same as before, but not seeing the same results. But, I know if I keep this attitude, instead of switching it to something positive, I will be taken over by food demons, and I will gain weight. #Facts

My Weekly Goals Are:

  1. Drink my H20, nothing tastes better and nothing is better for me!
  2. Don’t be tempted by the sugary drinks and take out menus at work!
  3. #PlankADay everyday
  4. Get physically and mentally back into training mode.

 

Someone else made yesterday pretty nice too. This guy:

He came home soaking wet because of the insane thunder storms.

I thought he went to Wegmans  to buy dinner, instead, he brought home a picnic for us- just like we used to have. We’ve now been together for 2 years 10 months, and have lived together for 2 years. It took us most of that time to figure out how to eat healthy and still both be happy. But sometimes, taking a step backwards, is nice.

Pizza Rolls, Blue Newt Wine and Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Oh, how I’ve missed you, pizza rolls.

If we still did this on a regular basis, it would be bad, but since this was the first time in almost a year, I think we’re okay.

We’re going to open a restaurant called “Fried Food and Fine Wine”, it will sadly be a hit.

And there was Cherry Cheesecake in the refrigerator.

 

How’s your weekend going? Did you take shortcuts?

Do you have the Monday Blues?

What are your food demons?

    Hey it all about portions so you can eat that food every once and a while. You are working hard and I am so proud of you for this week’s attitude. Those goals look freaking great!

      Portions and moderation really are key! My goals are something that really keep me on track, without them I lose sight of the important stuff real quick.

    Congrats on the Anniversary & what a fun way to celebrate! Spending time together means more than “things” :) Great perspective on the weigh-in, staying the same is better than gaining! Good luck with the goals! I need to get in some “goal action” of my own soon!

      We aren’t really “things” people, don’t get me wrong, I love getting presents, but spending time together means a lot more to me.
