Monday stats and weigh in

Not too bad today. Also, I forgot to do a separate weigh-in post, but I am down to 137. And counting! I would love to get down to 135 before having to start up traveling again...then I can just set my goal to maintenance until I'm back in town for more than two days at a time. Yay!

egg and cheese bagel
turkey and cheese bagel
about a half a bag of light microwave popcorn
spoonful of peanut butter (i know)

not terrible...we'll see how i did at the weigh in tomorrow!

Saturday stats

Saturday was a bit carb-heavy, as weekends (especially prior to grocery shopping) tend to be, but it wasn't too bad overall.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii EA Active
15 minutes Wii Fit aerobics and balance games

Food:
bacon egg and cheese bagel
french toast bagel with smart balance light and some baby carrots
mushroom gnocchi pasta side (which i only intended to eat half of...nice try)
chocolate square

I'm going to try to not have such a heavy dinner tonight in preparation for my weigh in tomorrow morning. We'll see how that goes. :)

Friday stats

Not the best day ever, but considering how good I'd been for the rest of the week, it's not the end of the world.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii Your Shape
15 minutes Wii Fit yoga

Food:
veggie and cheese omelet, handful of bagel chips, OJ
Thai taste: chicken and veggies in a light sauce over rice, spring roll
a krispy kreme donut (the work treats finally got to me) and instant hot chocolate
Brixx: tomato and fresh mozzarella sandwich, handful of terra chips

I'm going to try to be really good this weekend because I've been weighing myself all week and if what I weigh now holds for Monday's weigh in, it's going to be awesome. I only have one more week in Charlotte before I have to start traveling (and likely eating like an idiot) again, so I need to make it count!

Thursday stats

So Thursday, the HR manager and her assistant were wheeling a CATERING CART of delicious looking cupcakes around the office. I'm not lying. And this morning there were donuts, but that's a whole other story. It's like my office is trying to fatten us up for the winter. WTF. Anyway, some of these cupcakes looked SO GOOD but I figured that if I'm strong enough to avoid Moe's queso, I'm not going to ruin my diet with a cupcake. I once again told them to get the hell out of my cube. Victory.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii Your Shape
15 minutes Wii Fit balance games
50 minutes pilates lesson

Food:
veggie and cheese omelet, a handful of bagel chips, OJ
turkey and cucumber on a sandwich thin, baby carrots, chocolate square
low fat string cheese
granola bar
lean cuisine, salad, and a few chunks of left over focaccia bread from the catered dinner
instant hot chocolate

I find that the hot chocolate actually really takes care of my chocolate cravings...for only 65 calories and while also hydrating me. Can't complain about that.

Wednesday stats

After avoiding the aforementioned croissants in the prior post, today wound up being pretty decent.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii Your Shape
15 minutes Wii Fit yoga

Food:
veggie omelet (I forgot to add the cheese!), piece of toast, and OJ
turkey and cucumber sandwich, baby carrots, chocolate square
low fat string cheese
100-cal bag of nuts
lean cuisine, salad, and a dinner roll w/a little butter
handful of tortilla chips *
instant hot chocolate

* ok so, I love Moe's. LOVE IT. And it was the catered dinner tonight. So I forbade myself from entering the kitchen until it was cleaned up because I am incapable of having a normal amount of Moe's in a buffet situation where there is queso. So, in comparison to the three plates of nachos I would have had otherwise, I'm willing to write off the chips as reasonable.

Tuesday stats

Another good day, for the most part! No treats were brought into the office, so that's always a good start. They were bringing around my favorite chocolate croissants today though. And I sent them away. And there are no leftovers. Thank god.

Exercise:
40 minutes EA active Wii workout

Food:
veggie and cheese omelet, piece of rosemary bread toast w/smart balance light, glass of OJ
turkey and cucumber sandwich, baby carrots, chocolate square
low fat string cheese
granola bar
lean cuisine, side salad, dinner roll with a small amount of butter
cup of instant hot chocolate

Monday stats

Monday was a good day because no one brought sweets to the office. It was, however, a bad day because Jenny made me do abs in the morning...on a day that I also go to pilates. I can barely move today.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii Your Shape
15 minutes Wii Fit - balance games and Yoga
50 minutes pilates mat class

Food:
veggie and cheese omelet, OJ, and a piece of leftover rosemary bread toast with some smart balance light
turkey and cucumber on a sandwich thin, baby carrots, chocolate square
low fat string cheese
100-cal bag of nuts
lean cuisine and a side salad
cup of hot chocolate (instant - made with water)

Sunday stats/monday weigh in

I may have tainted my weigh in a bit with a heavy dinner last night...but it was Valentines Day, so that'll happen I guess. The rest of the day wasn't bad at all.

Exercise:
30 minutes Wii Your Shape
20 minutes Wii Fit aerobics/balance games

Food:
one egg with mushroom and cheese on a sandwich thin, OJ
low fat string cheese
turkey and cucumber on a sandwich thin, baby carrots, and a chocolate square
about a dozen reduced fat ravioli with vodka sauce, and some rosemary olive oil bread dipped in EVOO and spices
about half a bag of popcorn and hot chocolate with marshmallows (Blake made dessert...haha).

I have to watch it on the big dinners I guess. At any rate, my weigh in was 139, so it still showed me as losing a pound last week. So that's good. On Saturday morning, I weighed 138 and I was pumped, but I guess I blew that at dinner last night. Haha. Maybe next week. :)

Saturday stats
