Well I am not happy about my weigh in today but I had a suspicion my weight would go up after this weekend, so I was kind of prepared for it.
On Friday I suggested to my sister that we go out to dinner and guess where we ended up? A Fish Fry. And yes.. It was my idea. I had two Fried Cod fillets, some fried shrimp, and potato pancakes. Very yummy, but not so good for the diet.
Then on Saturday I skipped breakfast but went out to lunch with my Mom and sister to Perkins. I had a Grilled Chicken Salad though, so that was good. I even omitted the bacon it came with and added hard boiled egg. Then at the Holiday party I had some kind of Chicken meal with rice and some unknown substance on top (looked like gray guacamole??), and green beans. I also indulged in dessert and then had a few drinks. It was a good time though. I got a few compliments while I was there that I looked nice, so that felt good. I only danced for one song though, so didn’t really burn any calories off.
Sunday I went grocery shopping and then had Chips & Hummus for what we’ll call lunch and Chips and Taco Dip for what we’ll call dinner. It was kind of more just like an all day thing during the Packer game. So yea… Not a good weekend for my journey, but hopefully I can work extra hard to lose the gain plus some.
On another note, I bought some Whey Protein {Vanilla Cream flavored} & some Orange flavored drink mix. I read online that if you mix it together it tastes similar to a dream sickle. I had that for breakfast, in place of my Slim Fast. At first I got the dream sickle flavor, but after a while I had to choke the rest down. I could taste the iron flavor in it. So I’ll have to find some other way of drinking it. Any ideas? I read that you can also mix it with yogurt, tuna, or make a shake out of it. So maybe I’ll try one of those ideas. I’m still confused if I should be using this in place of a meal or if I should be having it after a workout? Any advice on that?
I’m giving blood today over my lunch hour at a sister company of ours. Think I’ll lose some weight? ;-)
My advice is to add every calorie of anything you eat or drink and stick between 12-1300 calories.
ReplyDeleteYes, you had some major food obstacles in the way last weekend but that's going to happen...but you started in again on Monday and THAT'S a success story in my book!
See? I told you that you looked pretty for your Christmas party on Saturday...and with each ten pounds that you lose you are going to feel prettier and prettier...inside AND out!
This is it for you, Holly, I can feel it and it was great hearing that you believe that too. The dieting will become easier and easier as time goes on and you start seeing a difference in how you look. You looked GORGEOUS at Corey and Eric's wedding and you even want to lose more weight than where you were then, right? I think you might be too thin at your goal weight but it's going to feel great when you hear, "HOllY....you MUST eat...you're much too skinny!" :)
I didn't do so good on Sunday with the Packer party. But the best thing you can do is put it behind you and focus on what is ahead! Let's shoot for a nice weight loss this week!
ReplyDeleteI also had a bad weekend. Weekends are the worst!! We went to olive garden with friends and I only ordered soup, but ate four breadsticks! And I also had a jacks pizza this weekend. Boo.
ReplyDeleteAs for the protein powder, I have a hard time with the stuff we have too. I thought it would be a little tastier than it is... but I guess not :) The only way I can really stand drinking it is in a smoothie. I have chocolate, so I just mix a scoop of it in with strawberries, yogurt, and milk and blend. It's not too bad that way. The gym we are at also sells protein shakes and they are YUMMY!!! I need to buy some of their powder cuz it's delicious. But 5 bucks a pop... yeah right!
You can drink them in place of a meal, but my trainer recommended having one when I wake up in the morning and after a workout. I usually only have one a day and it's always after working out... especially if it was strength training.
Here's to a new week!! Time to forget about the bad weekend!
