Thursdays

Last Thursday I decided to re-commit to logging my foods and regularly prying myself off my couch. This was brought on by a weigh-in at my parents' house on their "doctor's office" style scale, which put me at 166. Now I've been as high as 168 recently, but I turn 40 in less than a month and my goal was to weigh LESS than my starting weight of 160 when I started this last push in January of 2009, not to weigh MORE by the time this birthday hit.

So. Thursday and Friday I did well with my calories, and I even managed to hit the treadmill both days. Yay!

Saturday and Sunday I was, sadly, attacked by the Girl Scouts and force-fed a box of Samoas. Then I tripped over a bag of Reese's Eggs and landed mouth first on them.

Erm, that was more like two bags.

Whoops.

On the plus side, I didn't bake any cakes or cookies this weekend. I did bake a dozen muffins, but I didn't fall in lust with them or anything, so I only ate two.

"Only." Good grief.

Fortunately, Monday hit and I did well both Monday and Tuesday with the caloric intake, and today is looking good too. I haven't been on the treadmill due to a cold I came down with on Monday, but I'm going back on it tomorrow.

Tomorrow also happens to be my weigh-in day. The heck with this Monday garbage, I'm going for Thursday. It's a good day, and it's also well enough into my work-week to scare me off of going out to eat at lunch.

We'll see how it goes. Here's hoping I don't get attacked by a ginormous Quarter Pounder on my way home...

160 or 1600... it doesn't matter Amanda. I'll still cherish you just as much. I will support you in whatever you choose to pursue:)

Yeah, but I was 145 when you met me and 154 when you married me. I'd like to at least be a bit more in that neighborhood ;)

And thank you :)))

AWW. He's very sweet. It's amazing how candy falls into one's mouth and burgers attack, isn't it?

Stupid winter. That's what I'm blaming. (Well, that and an idiot boy.)

He *is* sweet :)

And I KNOW on the stupid burgers and candy! My favorite burger is the double quarter pounder with cheese from McDonald's. And a large fry.

Oh well. I had Subway at lunch today. Sweet onion chicken teriyaki, but I mixed it up a bit with full-fat fried potato chips.

Hey, gotta enjoy it :)
