WALKING MY WEIGH TO A HEALTHIER LIFE--ONE MILE AT A TIME
This is my life...I am losing 100 pounds. I am a mother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, fiance, and aunt. I am a woman that strives to be healthier and happier with herself. I struggle daily with the choices that I make. I am taking this journey one bite at a time.

Decimals, Daiquiris,and Delicious



I hope everyone had a terrific weekend! I must recap mine beginning with my Thursday weigh in. I lost 0.6 pounds! A freaking decimal on my second week?? What the hell? After a mini- nervous break down in the car, I called the hubby who insisted that I will see the difference this week, as I got in 4 days at the gym & had been eating pretty clean. HAD BEEN being the correct phrase. On Friday, my sister & family were here & after work my mom made us homemade Daiquiris & Margaritas. I had 2. I then (afterwards, what a dumb ass) decided to investigate the "nutritional" info on the fruity delicious drink I was consuming. Just 4 oz of the mixer = 177 calories. My drink had to be 12 ounces. Add in tequila calories & the fresh fruit my mom adds & you have a disaster.

The real disaster came after I ate numerous tortilla chips with lime salsa & one hour later ate a steaming bowl of chicken gumbo on WHITE rice. I don't even like white rice. Again, what the hell? Enter the major TMI moment: About 10 minutes after that, I was hanging my head over the toilet revisiting every ounce of drink, every bite of salsa & gumbo. I am not sure how many calories I actually consumed, as I didn't hold them down for long. I had to go home & brush my teeth & shower afterwards. I felt like sh*t. I guess the different temperatures of my food & the overeating in general were just too much for my tummy. I have been eating very clean for the past few weeks.

Saturday yielded much better results. Plenty of swimming, sun and grilled chicken. I made our potato salad with olive oil mayo, we had fresh green beans and vegetarian baked beans. Watermelon for dessert. I was pretty active Saturday and Sunday. No gym since Wednesday. Not proud of that, but I was very busy & active for most of the weekend. I will only get in 3 workouts before this weeks weigh in, and I am hoping that my decimals from last week don't reappear. I am seeing a lot of changes in my behavior regarding food and eating in general & I am very excited for the future. I know that I can succeed and I am worth the happiness of a healthier weight.

I wish I'd gotten sick and lost all my alcohol calories and tons of non-planned on food. I'm jealous. :)

My weekend was lousy food wise, but hey, stuff happens.

Love the pictures. You are so pretty! And your daughter, oh my, she's a cutie pie.
