So I had 2 days of the bad scale and it makes me frustrated. I really haven't been perfect so I shouldn't be totally surprised. I still have not cheated on extra sweets since March 7th, but I probably eat more carbs than I should. I think the less I have to lose, the harder it is going to get to take a lb off and then keep it off. I did go buy some Magnesium today just in case that does help some. My jeans fit better, I don't have fat rolls to speak of, but I really want to lose at least another inch off my waist. If you ever wonder how far you have come, hold the measuring tape where you used to measure and see where you are now. I was 39 inches just above my belly button, today I am 33 1/2, I hold the tape out and I see what a difference it makes. I am not giving up!!! Just a little frustrated. This weekend should be interesting with food. No big plans, but my hubby has 4 days off and I don't tend to cook very often. I'm excited to try and find Clemmy's ice cream, I would like to buy and ice cream maker, but I am unemployed and I should be good:(
So today I had my usual breakfast...but for lunch I went to Safeway and got general tsos chicken, almond chicken and chow mein. I ate very little of the chow mein, mostly just picked the celery out. I looked on my tap and track and it appears that the general chicken has at least 5 sugars. Of course it didn't specifically list Safeway's version. For dinner my husband brought deli fried chicken home and I ate it with spinach salad. In the past I would have eaten 1/2 a loaf of french bread and potato salad with the chicken...that's progress. I did have my berries and cool whip. I made lemonade Koolaid with the sun crystals and it tastes refreshing. It's a nice break from all of the ice tea I drink. So, that was my day. I can put it in the record book. I am starting to think the best thing that will happen to me is for my grandson to be here. He is like a whirlwind and I will get exercise just chasing him around the house. He was in rare form tonight:) I believe move in day is tomorrow. Pray for me for patience:)
Happy scales to all....I kind of like that saying...I need that saying!!!
I like that saying Happy Scales. It's good that you focus on what you used to do and how you have made changes. And fyi it is a pain in the butt to find clemmys in WA, they only carry it at whole foods. When we went to visit a friend we got some and it was tasty... I know you can order it online. Anyway, have a great day and a wonderful holiday weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Scales to all! :)
ReplyDeleteWow that must feel sooo good to look at the difference on the measuring tape! You are doing great so don't worry if the scales aren't showing the numbers you'd like to see...the weight will come off. How wonderful to have your darling grandson with you to play with and chase around! I agree that running after him will help you drop those last pounds the fun way! Happy 4th of July!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a scale Kay. You'll get there and you've done so good so far. I am so like you. The sugar thing is pretty under control, but those dang carbs. UGGGHHHH! Although I have this delicious watermelon, blueberry and mint salad and it does have some sugar in it, not to mention the sugar in the fruit. I do love fruit and just try to stay away from it. I hope you have a great holiday weekend.
