Kelly Kan Do It!

Hello again 140's LOL

2011-04-06T08:58:00.001-07:00

Lost 1.2 this week..... that was exciting! If I can just get down to like 147 I'd be happy....always a goal.... never satisfied! hahahah..

Hello again 150's.....

2011-03-30T06:17:00.000-07:00

So I worked out 5 days out of the 7...tried to behave with eating BUT gained a pound!! so discouraging....so this morning I treated myself to and egg and cheese wrap, baked chips and dip and a bag of pretzel M&M's.....if I'm going to gain weight, I might as well enjoy it :) Now that I got that out of my system.... back to the diet for lunch....NO FUN!

Also, I have given up on the thought of fitting into my size 6 shorts for Disney...they can go on and zip but they don't are too tight...I guess I have to go buy myself some new shorts..... SIGH.... oh well they will be my June goal!!! LOL

Hello 140's.....

2011-03-23T06:44:00.000-07:00

So I havne't been journaling persay but I have been mentally tallying my food... I know for sure it's not the same!! Maybe I will journal this week.... Anyway I lost 1.4 this week which brings me down to 149.2! That was exciting and motivating. If the dumb weather would get nice I would love to add a nice walk outside to my daily routine as well... but anyway, soon enough! So I have 9.2 pounds to lose by April 16th! Do-able??

Another week down...

2011-03-16T09:34:00.000-07:00

Weighed in today and lost 1.4 pounds... that was good! But I still can't get out of the 150's...ughhhh i'm so close.... anyway of course I celebrated my weight loss with a bagel for bfast and some mini choc donuts with my lunch.... oh well, I'll journal it all and hopefully have a "reasonable" dinner as they call it...hahhaha
and I wonder why I can't get out of the 150's!

Hi!

2011-03-15T08:59:00.000-07:00

Haven't had a min to blog for awhile! I actually lost 1.6 pounds last week and weighed in at 152....hopefully tomorrow I can lose at least another pound! I am so over the 150's!! ugh... I have 1 month until Disney and to fit into my shorts!!

For the most part everyday has been kind of the same:
Bfast has been a banana and an activitia light yogurt
Lunch has been ham and slender amer cheese on an arnold's with baked chips, a sugar free choc pudding and either peaches or applesauce....
Dinner.... has been all diff stuff with some snacks in between
Dessert is usually some light ice cream or frozen yogurt...

Not too bad :)

Exercise...

2011-03-07T09:16:00.000-08:00

So Saturday we went for a walk (probably about 1.5 miles) and last night I did 2 miles on the treadmill....so I'm trying.... BUT I can't get myself together on the starvtion end of things... I honestly didnt' really write my food down yesterday or today yet.. I'm ready for this week to end and a new one to begin.....My little lovebug has been sick and up at night so I'm a tired Mommy and sometimes snacks are the only thing that can make you feel better :) hahahhahah

Anyway can't wait to weigh!!

Here's what I ate..... I am too tired to do points! hahah

egg whites cheese
toast
1/4 leftover parm from dinner night before (pasta/chicken)
way too many grasshopper cookies (if you like thin mints these are a MUST)
chips
ham/cheese on an arnolds
potato soup
chic broc rice
All such random stuff.....

Today so far I've had too many chips!!! I can't have snacks at work or I'll eat them ALLLLLL hahah... anyway at least i'm paying attention to what I'm eating... right??? hahhaha

New Favorites!

2011-03-04T06:12:00.000-08:00

Okay so I am really into Gorton's fish products at the moment. So far I have had the lemon pepper grilled fish, tilapia and salmon. The Salmon and lemom pepper fish were my fave. The tilapia was okay but def. not my fave. They are all 2 pts.each which is awesome with the new points system. It's hard to find low point foods and they are delicious and great for dinner. Also, their fish sticks are only 1 point each so that is great too!

http://gortons.com/our_products.htm

My next favorite is Cabot 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar cheese. It's 2 points for 2 ounces. It is usually enough cheese to fill up 5 crackers so I've been using that cheese with Keebler toasted Sesame crackers (5 crackers are 2 points) That has been my breakfast lately...

And lastly...everyday I have been going to McDonald's for a tea and a diet coke (yes I loooove the caffeine) but anyway today I decided to get a hash brown to go with it.... so I was looking up the new points plus for a hash brown and came across this site that shows all the new points for McDonalds..... I know not what you want to be eating but it is good to have it. Also the website probably has some other good things on there as well I just haven't had time to navigate it yet!

Hmmm where did I leave off....

2011-03-03T10:55:00.000-08:00

I think I'll just start fresh with yesterday being a new week... I ended up gaining 1.8 pounds so I'm doing great! hahah....anyway what can you do...it's forcing me to do better this week. The goal for this week is to continue to writing everything down but to add in exercise at least 3 days (I already did 2.5 miles on Tuesday) so I think I can bust out 2 more days AT LEAST!

My food yesterday was:
cheese crackers 4
Smart one 7
cookie 3
candy 2
pizza 10

Nothing like starting the new week out going out to dinner with my bf and our kiddies LOL :)

Worst time of the day EVER...

2011-03-01T06:38:00.000-08:00

I need to come up with a plan to entertain myself from 3:30 until dinner time. I honestly can eat every snack in the house in that time period. My goal for this new week is to have cut up veggies and fruit to occupy my snacking disfunction :) I would save myself about 8 points each day!! that adds up!

Okay so let's see where I left off....

Numbers...Schmumbers....

2011-02-16T05:45:00.000-08:00

Okay so I was weighing in on Monday mornings when I was 1/2 a$#ed doing WW, which was crazy b/c who weighs in on Monday mornings...but anyway I was and this Monday I weighed 153.0..okay not too bad.... then when I went to my WW meeting last night, I weighed myself before I left, fully dressed, after I ate dinner and weighed 158.8....then at the meeting I weighed 158.2.... so then this morning I decided to weigh myself to see what I was (b/c honestly I'm not digging the 158 LOL) and I was 152.8.... SOOOOOOO with all of that being said..... My numbers that I am going with are: the 158.2 for WW weigh in's on Tuesday nights and 152.8 for Wednesday mornings... I'm over the Monday weigh in and moving forward! hahah... Funny how my Tues night and Wed morn numbers are the same in just a flip flopped order...anyway that is my crazy story with numbers and the scale....
Bottom line...weigh yourself in the morning and totally naked! hahahah

Okay...

2011-02-15T18:52:00.001-08:00

I feel better now... I found a new website with the Points Plus Calculator and I also found a bunch of new snack ideas with the point plus values :)

Frustrated...

2011-02-15T18:26:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to start over but I'm frustrated for several reasons:

1.) the pic is ginormous and there is no way to change the size of it!
2.) all of the points are diff now so I have to redo so many things about the blog
3.) i should just start it over, BUT i would lose everything that I've already done

I am just going to start over from here and get myself together....
So.......
I officially joined WW tonight. I weighed in at 158.2 (in my defense I was fully clothed and it was after I ate dinner!) ....my goal is 140 by April 16th when we go to Disney... The new point system is called Points Plus so I am going to add all of my new info under the titles of points plus. This way everyone will know that I'm talking about the new plan.... or should I delete the olds stuff?? I think I should delete....right?? This is going to be a bit of a process but here goes nothing... :)

150's oh how I missed you!!

2010-11-03T05:26:00.000-07:00

Okay so changing up my bfast routine must have worked along with really trying to do WW right last week! I lost 2 pounds :) I weighed 158 today! that was exciting!! and def. motivating to keep it up! I am down 9 pounds so far from when I officially started WW. Yay me :)

Slumpy Slump

2010-10-26T05:30:00.000-07:00

okay so I lost a pound BUT I'm still in the 160's, I've had enough! but I know that it's my fault, I counted but not everyday and all the time and my breakfasts have been out of control.... So my new goal for this week is to make good choices for bfast. Today I started the day with an arnolds with laughing cow and cucumbers and it was delicious and I'm happy with myself :) oh, also my first wedding dress fitting is tonight and goal was to be 155.... i'm still 5 pounds away from that one! ugh... time to get serious... I betcha the dress doesn't even zip! Ugh! lol

anyway happy new week.....

My blog looks like crap...stuff isn't posting right and there is soooooooo much room in between posts....what is going on?? hopefully it's just the website and it will fix itself! ugh

Going back to my roots...

2010-10-19T05:55:00.000-07:00

I am going to back to when I first started WW and re-read my posts....to remotivate me and to re-focus me along with reminding me that I can do it!! :)

Hey Fat Girl.....

2010-10-19T05:49:00.001-07:00

I wanna see you smile...
hhahha....remember that tune.... anyway so I gained .2 ounces this week...dammit.. I guess it doesn't help that I ate like a pig all day sunday and all day monday..... Disappointing for sure but I don't regret it :) Last night while my two friends and I were stuffing wedding invitations, we also decided to stuff our faces on the most delicious and super easy to make bean dip! It's cream cheese, old el paso seasoned black beans in the microwavable pouch topped with shredded cheddar cheese... omg it is faaaaaaaaaaantastic...so needless to say I ate waaaaaaaay to much.. oh well...new goal for this week is count count count and write write write :) I don't think that 155 is a reasonable goal for next week tuesday so the new goal is just to be in the flipping 150's by next Tuesday! haha... can't wait to try on this dress! ugh!

Happy Tuesday!

Almost....

2010-10-13T05:39:00.000-07:00

I am soooooooo close to the 150's! that is so exciting to me! I can feel that I am getting smaller too so that is exciting :) I can fit in alot of different things now that I couldn't fit into a month ago ;) I actually am wearing size 8 pants today...they are a little snug but they are on :) That was exciting to me! Also the fact that I lost two pounds was super exciting and encouraging... It's the little things that keep pushing you to stay focused and on track :)

My one friend has lost 17 pounds so far on her WW journey! I'm so proud of her and so happy for her! She said she hasn't been this light in 10 years :) She just had her second baby in May! Keep up the great job!

So I weighed in this morning and lost .8... I was hoping for better then that, BUT i did eat a bunch of crap the past two days, so I kind of expected it... BUT it's still a loss so I will take it :)
I have a new short term goal.. it is to weigh 155 by October 26th. That is 8.2 pounds from now and 3 weeks away... I think/hope it is reasonable and reachable :) I have my first dress fitting that night, so 155 would be good! wish me luck!

Anyway here's to a new week!! :)

Shhh...

2010-09-28T05:28:00.000-07:00

Okay so here goes another week... I lost 2 pounds last week, but I think it's a lie b/c I don't feel any different and I ate cake all weekend.... even weigh in was pretty funny... I weighed this morning and was 165 so that would have been a 1 pounds loss, but weighed again to double check like I always do about 3 seconds later and was 164, so I weighed a 3rd time and was 164 again... so anyway that's what I'm going with, it will force me to do a good job this week! (I hope!) well I'm super busy at work so I have to go....happy counting :)

Happy Birthday Weekend to Me....

2010-09-26T05:51:00.001-07:00

New Week

2010-09-21T04:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I lost 1.2 pounds this week... Which is good, def better then gaining, but I was hoping for at least 2, but what can you do. My goal for this week is to NOT weigh myself 800 times during the week, but only to weigh in once on weigh in day. I think this is why I was disappointed, at diff times of weighing in this week, I weighed less then this morning (however I weighed more at diff times too) but I guess in staying true to the program, I should only weigh on weigh in day :) So here's to a new scale-less week!

I really did it up last night but I still counted so that's all that matters :) I only have 6 bonus points left for the next 3 days so that ought to be fun to make them last! I'm thinking egg whites for breakfast and then a 2 pt soup from lunch and go from there :)

Today while I was driving to work, I saw a faint rainbow....so pretty :) It made me smile and think of how peaceful and comforting nature can be....

Anyway, it's finally Friday, the last day of work for the week...wish I could say I had something wild planned for tonight BUT I don't, just a relaxing night at home with the soon to be hubby and my baby girl which is just about all my exhausted self can handle! This first full week was a looooong one with back to school night slapped in the middle!

Loooow point breakfast ideas

2010-09-15T05:37:00.000-07:00

My cousin just asked me about some low point breakfasts and I sent her an email giving her some ideas that I had. Then I thought it would be a good idea to just post, so here is my email to her :)

K here are my thoughts... on the weekend (or when I have time in the morning) I usually make myself egg whites and cheese using any kind of light shredded cheese that I want (usually cheddar). I never measure out the egg whites, I just buy the container of All Whites and pour as much into the pan as I want and call it 1 pt. (I spray the pan first with some Pam) I think 1/2 cup of the egg whites is 1 pt and then I add a 1/2 of the 1/4 cup with some cheese for flavor. That is 2 pts. I always think that if you over eat on egg whites or under count them that is NOT going to make or break your diet! LOL

Or I do a fiber english muffin with spray butter for 1 pt

or an arnolds sandwich thin with laughing cow for 2 pts....

so you can always mix and match the 1 pt muffins, Arnolds sandwich thins, or bagel thins with either spray butter for 0 pts or a wedge of laughing cow cheese for 1 pt. The garlic one is really good....

Another thing that's so good are the veggie fiber select crackers, you can have 15 for 2 pts and a wedge of laughing cow for 1 pt...that is 3 pts but it's good

you could also do a muffin with spray butter for 1 pt and a activia light yogurt for 1 pt for a 2 pt bfast...

My personal favorite at the moment is the egg white and cheese wrap at Dunkin Donuts... it's 3 points and delish! (and super quick) :)

Enjoy!

Back to school....back in action

2010-09-14T08:13:00.000-07:00

Okay...so it's been a long, fun, exciting summer filled with a new baby, snacks, the beach, snacks, visits with friends, snacks and not to mention some cocktails here and there :) So anyway I am now back in school and the summer is over :( BUT this means 3 months until my WEDDING!! :)crazy!
I just gave birth to my daughter, Brielle, on June 3rd and at that time I was weighing in at 199!! (Okay sometimes the scale said 200 but at my last dr. visit I was 199 so that's what I'm sticking to!) But anyway 3 months later I am down to 167.2 which is where I am going to start my 2nd round of WW to lose the last 25 that I want to in time for my wedding day :)
I have also added the P90 workout routine into my diet/schedule. I am in week 5 of the program and have def. lost inches and toned up in the process. It's a great program and I def. recommend it to anyone and everyone. The only downside to it is that it's time consuming for sure...BUT well worth it. I try to look at the hour to hour and a half a day as "me time" and try to enjoy it the best that I can..

But anyway I will be posting and checking in as frequently as I can....hopefully everyday to post my food from the day before and any tips or new things that I have found....

So if you're in a diet slump (like I was until this morning) then maybe you can re-motivate with me and get back into the WW groove :)

Missed you...

2010-02-27T12:48:00.001-08:00

I wanted to check in and write a little bit... I miss it! I am currently 6 3/4 months preggo with my first baby :) I do have a soon to be stepson who is 2, but this is the first time that my body is going through this wild thing they call pregnancy... honestly no one can prepare you for the way that your WHOLE body grows... not just a cute, round little ball of baby in your belly... I wish.. well I'm sure some people are that lucky but not this girl....

But anyway... it is def. hard to be gaining weight at the moment, but I know it's all for a good cause :) I also know that if I eat the WW way, walk and drink my water I would not gain the way that I am gaining... BUT I want to enjoy this time in my life as well... and I cannot explain the cravings that I get for SWEETS!!! With that being said, I have gained 24 pounds to date and have 3 months to go!! I have a dr's appt on Tuesday and will let you know the weight gain... ugh no fun!! haha
Month 5: gained 10 pounds
Month 6: gained 2 pounds
Month 7: we shall see... I'm going with 8 pounds.... I've really been eating way too many sweets!

Anyway, it's good to be back to blogging... I will try to check in frequently. I cannot wait to get back to WW. I am getting married in December, so from when she is born (yes, it's a girl!!!) until December, it will be wedding boot camp!! Wish me luck!! I miss my "skinny" clothes!!

xoxo

Motivating

2009-09-23T09:37:00.000-07:00

I just looked back at old posts...and the month of April seems to have been my best month. I was on track with points/weighing food/measuring portions/writing it all down... and that is when I saw the most results and was the closest to my goal... That just made me realize that I can do this :) I am back to feeling motivated!! (Probably until I get out to dinner tonight! Haha) But being dead serious, when you take the WW plan seriously and don't lie to yourself about what you ate or how much of something you ate, you will see results... I am excited to get back on track..... for the 900000th time! hahaha You can do it too!!

Hi there :)

2009-09-23T09:30:00.000-07:00

WW Week 2

2009-09-18T04:50:00.000-07:00

So week 2 went well with everyone at work!! I am proud of the girls!! I personally had a pretty good week. I lost 2.2 pounds and also was able to do some push-ups, sit-ups and squats throughout the week. My weekend didn't start off so well, but I did pretty good Mon-Thurs. I made it a point to drink my water everyday and try to leave myself around 12 points for dinner. Next week the goal will be NOT to use all of my bonus points and then some by Day 2! LOL
But anyway....here's to a new week!!

Size-izzle...

2009-09-16T10:42:00.000-07:00

Okay so as I've been shifting weight and changing sizes up and down and round and round...I think that I have discovered how they figure out women's sizes in pants....

170's - size 12
160's - size 10
150's - size 8
140's - size 6
130's - size 4
120's - size 2
110's - size 0

I also have figured out how can you can be in between sizes.... if you are over the halfway mark in one of the weights...you will notice you're pants will become a bit snug... LOL you might need to move up a size to be cozy again...however that size will probably be a little big...
for example right now I am 147 and my 6's are not really cutting it the way that they used to, I probably should buy some 8's! But instead I will wear my one pair of 6's that fit and just keep on trucking...hahahha

Fired Up....

2009-09-16T05:33:00.001-07:00

Ugh...I can't seem to drop a pound or even feel lighter...I'm getting frustrated and my pants still feel snug!!!! Hopefully someday I will lose maybe an ounce or something....just something!!
Anyway, my abs are super sore from doing push-ups... I am not at all good at the "boy" push-ups so I have to use everything I got in my ab area to keep me up and in "good form". I have no clue how I'm going to bust them out tonight! I guess you just do it! :)
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.... I keep telling myself 2 months and I should be able to drop around 10 pounds... Fingers Crossed

One week down...

2009-08-10T08:24:00.000-07:00

K...going onto week 2...last week wasn't that bad... I was def. over points and used all of my bonus points by day 2 but by writing things down, it did help me to get back on track. I'm feeling like this week will be a good one :)
I weighed in this morning at 146.0, so I lost 2.6 pounds from last week. I will take it! I am 11 pounds away from my goal..... getting there....slowly but surely.

My friend Jami re-introduced me to the Jillian Michaels 30 minute Shred workout. I forgot how good it is! It's quick and pushes you! It's on On Demand for Comcast and Verizon. You can also buy the DVD too. There are either 2 or 3 parts, I'm not sure, but as you get better at 1 you move onto the next one and so on....
So heres to a good week of eating and shredding!

So hard...

2009-08-06T10:18:00.001-07:00

Why is it so much harder to behave in the summer? I think the only reason that I am excited to go back to work is to get back on track with WW!! I am trying though...even though I'm not sticking to the points, even just writing things down to start is def. helping! I'm also trying to drink water again... I already drank my 88 ounces for the day!

I'm praying that I can blame it on the al-al-al-al-co-hol... but I've been eating crappy too... so I'm back on the WW bandwagon full fledged. I just started writing everything down and all. I am going to drink my 88 ounces of water and try to behave :) Hopefully I can get back down around my goal weight rather then back up around my starting weight! LOL
Anyway hope that everyone is having a great summer! Can't believe it's August...how depressing :(
Talk to you all soon!!! Wish me luck!

Summertime :)

2009-07-13T06:36:00.000-07:00

Here are some tips to some lowfat outdoor fun:

1. Arnolds (seperate the top from the bottom so you have 2 pieces) In a bowl, mix a packet of either fat free or light cream cheese with a packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix) Spread that on top of the arnolds . Cut each half into 4 slices and then top with a slice of cucumber and sprinkle on some dill... DELISH
2. A veggie tray with dip (I use breakstone's Fat Free Sour Cream and a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip) This is a great staple app to have things to pick on that are healthy
3.) Turkey Pepperoni and Reduced Fat Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese with Fiber Select Wheat Thin Crackers
4.) Crab Ball -mix Fat Free Cream Cheese and a can of jumbo lump crab meat then top with cocktail sauce Served with Fiber Select Wheat Thin Crackers
5.) Shrimp Cocktail
6.) Chicken and Veggie Skewers on the grill
7.) Salsa made with a can of mexican corn, a can of black beans (rinsed), 2 avocados, a diced plum tomato, 1/4 cup of salsa and garlic and onion powder to taste. Serve with baked scoops it is DELISH!
8.) Turkey burger stuffed with a wedge of laughing cow cheese on the grill
9.) Filet and Veggie Skewers on the grill

Ummm...that is all that I can think of for now but anyway I'm sure you get my jist :) Anyway happy summer eating and I will talk to you soon!!

Happy July!

2009-07-06T10:30:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Just checking in to say hello! I can't believe that it's already July, my how time does fly :) Well I hope that everyone is having a great summer. I haven't really been on the computer since I am off so I haven't been keeping up with my posts. I will try to get on here more frequently to say hello and see how everyone is doing. Enjoy!

Week 19

2009-06-19T04:26:00.000-07:00

Gained 2.4. I knew last week was too good to be true! LOL That's okay though, I haven't been eating my correct dosage of points and I only got one day in of exercising last week plus a few push-ups and crunches here or there.....
Anyway here's to a new week!

Taco Ring...can't get enough... 1/8 = 7 points

2009-06-18T15:25:00.000-07:00

Tonight's dish was a taco ring using the crescent rolls.... It's the new move (well actually it's a new/old move) ...so easy and delish!

http://www.recipezaar.com/Taco-RingFrom-Pered-Chef-81160

I used 90/10 lean ground meat and drained it and rinsed it under hot water to remove the remaining grease and fat. I also used Sargento reduced 4 cheese mexican cheese.

I topped with some fat free sour cream and a little bit of salsa! Yum!

Enjoy!

Chicken and Broccolli Ring 1/8th ring 7 points

2009-06-17T20:14:00.000-07:00

My friend found this awesome recipe and she made it and it looked so delish that I decided to make it too! I wanted to share it with all of you. She used light mayo, light cheese, reduced fat crescent rolls and skipped the almonds to cut down on calories and points. It turns out to make 16 pieces and 2 pieces is worth 7 points. Not bad at all!

I also added onions to the recipe as well. I sauteed the chicken, peppers, garlic and onion(due to a good suggestion from my friend) beforehand then chopped it all up. It added lots of flavor! It was satisfying and filling and def. delish! I skipped the almonds as well.

Here is the link!
http://recipesbykim.blogspot.com/2008/11/chicken-and-broccoli-ring-pamperedchef.html

Enjoy!! You can use crescent rolls to make alot of different dishes. You could make a taco ring with taco meat and cheese, or a cheesesteak ring using chipped steak and cheese or a chicken cheesesteak ring using ground chicken and cheese (even add some hot sauce to spice it up!) Anyway, the crescent are delicious and make for a good looking, fun dish!

I haven't been doing a good job with writing down my food at all either! I feel like a hypocrite b/c I'm trying to help my Mom get into WW and my bf get back into it, but I've been a slacker! It's funny, once I hit the 140 mark I kind of let myself go a little bit. I def. eat better then I ever did though so I am content with that for the moment. It's funny to me when I crave yogurt... that just seems weird to me but I am happy with it...if that makes sense!
I am going to try to get to 135 during the summer and also focus on exercising at least 3 times a week. I think that seems like reasonable goals. It's tough to eat healthy when I'm down the shore or even at home during the day. I give many props to stay at home Mom's...b/c there is no way I could turn down chicken nuggets, fries, fruit snacks, donuts, goldfish, grilled cheese, pizza, lucky charms, ice cream and cheez-its on a daily basis! I would last about an hour if that! But anyway, I haven't been posting my daily food but I don't feel that I need to be so strict with it anymore. I have learned to read portion sizes and count calories, fat and fiber in things. I have also learned how to pick a healthy snack liked baked chips over doritoes and I am able to actually enjoy the baked chips. Never thought I would be able to choose anything over Doritoes...EVER! But I can now :) It's pretty empowering. So I am definetely proud of myself.
I have been feeling like a chunky monkey this week and especially as I type this b/c I just got finished housing a soft serve vanilla ice cream...every last lick of it! But tomorrow is a new day and my day over all wasn't too bad... so anyway here's to a great summer!

Chunky Monkey's Wednesday grub:
Donut DD 4
Kraft mac and cheese no butter 1 cup 5
cheez it's 1
Homemade pizza 12 (so good Pillsbury pizza thin crust pizza crust, ragu pizza sauce, reduced fat italian 4 cheese mix and turkey pepperoni 5 points for 1/8 pizza I def. ate tooo much but it was soooo good ! LOL)
salad 3

ice cream 8
Total: 34
Over: 14
Bonus left: NONE....I never seem to have any of these anymore!

No clue how...

2009-06-12T05:24:00.000-07:00

I lost 5 pounds this week. I have no clue how. I almost fell over when the scale said 136.6. I actually re-weighed myself 3 times before I got in the shower and a 4th time when I got out of the shower and each time is said the same thing. So weird, I feel like I've been eating badly. Well not bad, but def. not strict. I think it has to do with being a girl and certain times of the month and all that jazz... but anyway here's to week 18 :)

Oh a good luck note... I wanted to wish my bf best of luck on her WW journey that starts today! I know she will do great :)

Here's to a new week :)

2009-06-08T04:14:00.000-07:00

This weekend I went to the beach with my BF, her 2 daughters, her sister and her sister's friend...and we had a great time!! The weather was crappy for the first 2 days so we hung in, rented "He's just not that into you", which was really cute by the way, ate, snoozed,entertained the kiddos, facebooked, googled, emailed and then ate again....it was very relaxing but we were SO ready to see the sun!!

When the sun finally came out you kind of forget that it was just raining for the past 48 hours. So we decided to take a walk down to the beach and play at the park that is pretty much on the beach. It was fun! After that we came back home and decided to put the baby pool on the deck and hang out there. It's tough to sit on the beach or sit anywhere actually with a 2 yr. old and a 2 week old, but we did a pretty good job! We hung on the deck for a little bit and then made tacos for dinner. After dinner, we got ice cream, watched some tv and went to bed! Sunday morning we went to breakfast, cleaned and then were on the road by around 12:30. It was a really great weekend!

When I got home yesterday, my stepdad had my dog in a baby pool. It was too cute so I decided to take a pic and post it.... Awwww....

But anyway last night for dinner, my mom made stuffed porkchops, green beans and salad... my eating this weekend was def. not good and I couldn't weigh in on Friday b/c I was at the beach with no scale so I had to weigh in today.....EWGH....LOL it's wasnt' too bad... 141.6. gained, but are you kidding me...i've been eating soooo bad lately I was ready for a 10 pound gain! Gotta get back on track today!

Oh and last night I saw the Hangover with my stepbrother...OMG...HYSTERICAL!! Def. funniest movie that I have seen in a long time!!!! I needed it :)

Have a great day!!!

Not so bad :)

2009-06-03T06:01:00.000-07:00

Okay so yesterday was def. a better day food wise! I still had some snacks and was over my 20 points but no where near the 30 points that I've been over lately :)

I also wanted to share the pasta that I use nowadays. I really cannot get into the whole wheat pastas, they just don't do it for me...BUT I did find this Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta, it comes in all different types of pasta and it is fabulous! Here is the description of it from the website :)

RONZONI® SMART TASTE™ is a new member of the New World Pasta family of brands. What's so special about RONZONI SMART TASTE? It's the first white pasta to be enriched with fiber and calcium -- and lots of it. Three times the fiber and calcium equal to an eight-ounce glass of milk. Studies show that many diets are lacking in these two important nutrients. Plus, RONZONI SMART TASTE is lower in calories and fat than traditional pasta. That means RONZONI SMART TASTE is the same great taste -- the smart taste --your family loves but with greater nutritional value.RONZONI SMART TASTE Taste comes in five delicious varieties:
Elbows, Rotini ,Spaghetti ,Thin Spaghetti and Penne Rigati

Since it is high in fiber, it is only 3 points for a whole cup of cooked pasta! I used the penne last night to make pasta salad....delish!

Off the beaten path....

2009-06-02T05:24:00.000-07:00

Okay...so for the past 3 weeks or so I have NOT been doing a good job counting, weighing and watching my points and food intake nor have I been exercising! I am starting to feel the results of that.... So the only thing that I can do about it is...start over :) I am going to start fresh today and try to count and behave like I was in the past :) I am also going to encorporate some sort of daily exercise into my life, even if it's just walking the dog! I would still like to lose about 10 more pounds and then I will be done :) However, at the rate that I am eating...I will never lose those last 10!
I'm going to go back to week one of my blog and re-read to see how I did when I was doing so well!
So here's to a new start :)

2 point Margarita

2009-06-01T07:35:00.000-07:00

HG's Magical Low-Calorie Margarita

(Entire recipe: 115 calories, 0g fat, 55mg sodium, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, <0.5g protein =" 2">

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Sierra Mist Free (or Diet Sprite Zero, or your other fave no-cal lemon-lime soda)

*1.5 oz. tequila

1 packet (two 5-calorie servings) sugar-free powdered drink mix, lemonade (like the one by Crystal Light)

2 tbsp. lime juice

Optional: lime slice for garnish and salt or no-calorie sweetener for rim of glass

Directions: If desired, run some lime juice along the rim of the glass and dip into a dish of salt or sweetener. Mix all ingredients together. Pour over 1 cup of crushed ice.

Optional: Garnish with lime slice.

Serves 1!

*You can also make your margaritas alcohol-free. Each recipe, without tequila, contains around 20 calories!

I would rim the glass with splenda! I'm not a salt person...

Here is the link to this drink and a couple other good 2 point ones!!

2009-05-26T06:40:00.000-07:00

I always forget just how much I really love quotes until I start looking them up! Here are some good ones that I found today :) They really can make you smile when you are feeling down :)
Hope you enjoy!

1 "Sometimes you have to stand alone to prove that you can stand."
2 "Find a guy that will stay awake, just to see you sleep"
3 "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it."
4 "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
5 "When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."
6 "No one can go back and make a new beginning, but everyone can start here and make a brand new end."
7 “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow”
8 "If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were."
9 "When he kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe, and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you ... it's overwhelming." - Robert Heinlein
10 "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. And dance like no one is watching."
11 "You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons and in a moment he can chose to walk away. Love em' anyway" -Martina McBride
12 "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." (Of course I had to end with something about my pooch!! )

Weekend Schmeekend....

2009-05-26T05:03:00.000-07:00

Okay so I officially quit trying to do WW on the weekends.... well not officially quit, but it is tough! I am not doing that great at it!! I have no clue how to get myself together either! LOL Especially on loooong weekends.... I def. noticed that I do make some better choices automatically along with not eating sooooo much of one thing, so that is something different for me!

I went out Friday night for a little bit for my friend Kristen's birthday.... It was fun! She sent this pic her and I and I thought the it was cute, so I decided to post it! It's funny to see myself looking skinnier. I do not feel that I look any different, but then I see pics and I am pleasantly surprised. It's weird!

Hope that everyone had a great weekend and I hope that this week of rain flies by! Only 15 days left of work for me and I can't wait... I am def. looking forward to spending alot of time hanging with my girlfriends and going to the beach! I'm TRYING my best to get out of my funk, get out of my debt, eat better, run, walk, crunch, do dips, push-ups, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, walk the dog etc, etc, etc.....

I will try to remember my food for the weekend.... I'm sure I missed a few peanut M&M's here and there :)
