Monday Weigh-In (week 6)

Well it's Monday and that means weigh-ins. I didn't lose anything this week! So my scale says anyway, the scale at work says 219 lbs. but I have to stick to mine. I was sad about it this morning but Jason looked at me and said "it's no big deal, at least you didn't gain." He is right! I could be mopey all day but it's a new week and I'm pushing for something next week.

I did have a victory off the scale; I was able to fit comfortably into my size 18 Jeans, I so love this! Not only that, but I went 3 miles on the treadmill! 

I usually watch a show when I'm walking, but last night I couldn't so I watched music videos. So my going 3 miles is all thanks to Bear's Den, Mumford & Sons, and Awolnation. 

This is Bear's Den; I in no way own the rights to this video, just sharing the love!

Continuing-- I made chicken quesadillas Sunday for lunch and wow, they were awesome. However, I did flub Saturday, we were driving down the road and I got a big whiff of someone cooking steak - I was done! That’s all it took was the smell and I was drooling. So we had steak and baked potato, I am proud of myself because I use to eat a steak the size of my plate and this time it was almost the same size as the potato. I also used two tablespoons of sour cream; I've been trying to stick to just 1 but oh well... Life goes on.

On Monday Jasmine, and Joslynn went back to school, then on Thursday Jaelynn started Kindergarten. I cried so badly. I saw this little girl crying and it was horrible! Once I seen her I was done. I at least was able to hide it from Jaelynn but I cannot imagine when they go to move out. 

With them starting school last week it made it crazy. Now I've got the schedule down so this week I should be able to kick some weight loss butt. I really have to watch Friday and Saturday because we are going to the concert. So I will let you know how that goes. I'm not sure how long I'm going to walk tonight; I'll just play it like I did last night. So until tomorrow, Stay good everyone!

New Shoes

Well I put the shoes to the test, at first it was awesome, and I was able to start off at 2.7 and then very shortly after bumped up to 3.0. The shoes really made me feel like I could walk easier and were very comfy. However, come 10 minutes in my shins were screaming! I had my right shoe tide to tight and every time I stepped down it felt like it was pulling my shin. I went back down to 2.5 hoping it would go away and it did release a little so then I went back to 3.0. Around 17 minutes I had to go back and stay at 2.5, I only did 1 mile. I felt awesome I could have went longer but with how bad my shins were hurting I didn’t want to get shin splints so I made myself quit. Tomorrow is my 2 miler, I hope I can make it without them hurting like they did tonight. I really do love the shoes though, just need to break them in.

I made an awesome dinner tonight you can find the recipe here. I call it Apple Chop Delight and its only 301 Calories. Well sorry for the short post, I'm going to snuggle with my love... Night everyone!

London Broil

Yesterday I didn't walk as long as I wanted, I only walked half a mile, However to give myself a little credit I wanted to go longer but I went to adjust the Kindle and I lifted up the shirt I use to cover the clock and when I did it erased everything and stopped, So I stopped. There was no way I was starting over; I was in a special mood yesterday.

I made a London broil and it was horrible, I have got to learn a good recipe because the one I used tasted like pure crap! So this really upset me, I was looking forward to a good dinner.

(I mean does this not look great? Don't let it fool you, I should have just given it to my dogs.)

I went to go to bed and I heard a car door slam, me being the tough girl I am... instead of getting the shot gun I open the door look out and I hear another door slam and I yell "who's there?" I swear I am so smart, like really are they going to pop out and say "Oh hey, I'm just breaking into your car but my name is ______." Good thing it was Jason lol, I almost shat myself!

I made chicken, corn, mashed potatoes (more for the kids wants) and salad for dinner tonight, It turned out really good, thank god compared to last night catastrophe. Well Joslynn kept saying she is hungry then finally she looks at me and says " Mommy, I'm starving, I wish we could eat pizza all the time again it was way faster." LOL she cracks me up.

This was my lunch a crab salad, It was amaezing!

Joslynn waiting impatiently for the food to get done.

Awesome chicken  I'll put up the recipe tomorrow.

Well my work out tonight, Guess what I did... I MADE IT TO TWO MILES!!!!!!!!

I am so proud of myself. Tomorrow is weigh in I can’t wait to see how I've done.

Italian Lover...

    Err; I am so mad at myself right now. I forgot to lay something out for dinner and now my schedule is all messed up. I should be getting on the Mill in about a half an hour reading my book. Oh well, I'll just have to do a late work out.

The past two days have been so stressful. However, we got the Van (pic to come soon). I am so happy to be out of that Jeep. I tell you what a Van is freaking NICE! I always said I would never own one well, now I know what I've been missing and goodness, someone could have told me.

So yesterday I finally took a day off of working out and I hated every minute of it. I feel so much anxiety today. My stomach was so bloated this morning, I had no energy at work, I've cried at least 20 times. I am so ready to get it tonight its unreal. So I decided while I'm waiting on my fish to get done, I would write about my recipe last night. I call it the.....

                                                             Italian Lover

Add chopped onion (optional)

1 can of stewed tomatoes

1 jar of super CHUNKY << :) mushroom spaghetti sauce (Ragu)

1 slice per patty pepper jack cheese (or whatever cheese you want, but this is very good)
