Week #????

I have started a Youtube weightloss channel with my fifteen year old sister. I will be posting more blogs and also including our videos here. I have been reading blogs daily and I lost 3.6 pounds last week. I am now back to my pre-funeral weight, 240.8.

I hope everyone is doing well!

220 Calorie, 3 point meal in 7 minutes

My very delicious & super healthy meal from last night. From freezer to plate in 7 minutes.

Tilapia filet (cooked from frozen state, no thawing necessary) 100 Calories
Green Giant "Just for One" Frozen Veggies:
Cauliflower w/ cheese- 40 Calories
Peas & Corn in a delish sauce-80 Calories

*This had the be the quickest, most delicious meal I have had in a very long time*

*I sprinkled Mrs. Dash- lemon pepper on the tilapia*

*Very cost efficient, the tilapia is $1.29 per 100 calorie filet, veggies are sold in a pack of 6 microwavable containers for $3.00 a pack.*

Tilapia has a relatively low mercury level compared to other fish & is rich in Omega fatty acids. I think this may be my dinner 3 days a week. I am going to try the other Green Giant "Just for One" veggies this weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend!

the drive home 10/22/09

This is what I encountered on the way home after picking up the toddler from the sitter. We sat in a stranger's yard for 45 minutes waiting for the rain to stop & the street to drain so that we could pass. There were several thunder storms & flash flooding in the area. How does this relate to food? The first thing I thought about when we pulled over was "what will happen if we are stuck here for hours & can't eat supper." Dozens of people had water approaching the doorway of their homes and I was stressing about not eating for a couple hours. I immediately realized how ridiculous my thoughts were.

This is a process for me; I am trying to FIX my brain. Not having food readily available is NOT an emergency. When I got home an hour and a half later, I made a very healthy supper.

Week #2- WTF

Week #2

Week two flew by without a warning. My weigh-in this morning stopped me in my tracks. +1.2.
Was it the T-Bone steak on Saturday?
Chinese & Sushi on Tuesday?
Late dinner after night class on Wednesday?
Lack of walking for 5 days in a row?

I'm not really sure WTF happened, but I did NOT like seeing 244.4 AGAIN on the scale. I have to break out of the 240's & I have to do it in two weeks. I HAVE to. Mentally, I need to see 239....very soon. I CAN do this, I know I can. I am disgusted and NOT giving up this time.

I have been researching the Wendie Plan & I am very interested. Anyone have any prior experience with the plan?

Have a great week.

Week #1- Countdown to 25 years

Week #1- Getting Organized

I have been struggling to get my act together since our impromptu trip to GA. This week I focused on organizing my life and house so that a healthy lifestyle will seem a little easier. I have changed my countdown to thirteen weeks--counting down my birthday, which is January 9th. By that time I hope to be in a size 20 & walking at least three miles per day/ six days a week. I am doing Leslie Sansone's one mile in the morning (14 minutes) and depending on the weather, two stroller miles with the toddler or two more Leslie miles in the afternoons. I haven't been to the gym in weeks, I am finding it much more convenient with our recent rainy weather to stay home and walk in my living room.

I am not setting a weight-goal for January. I am still attending Weight Watchers, but I have been counting calories instead of points. I am trying to built healthy habits so that this trek into healthy living is successful. I have several pictures to share, I will add them later. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday.
