Okay this is embarrassing ... oh and love me some Tyra

First let's recap yesterday 

ah win 

so far this week I have used 4.6 of my weeklies 

coolio 

Today is day #1 of my vacation 

brunch with the Fam ... which will be a snap 

as my EVER healthy daughter is hosting 

and now for the embarrassing part of this post

yes I am 59 (ancient to some of y'all)

I made this graph this morning

and put it in my closet so only I would see it
ahh
that's why I am blogging about it for the planet to see it

ahhhh

oops

I think I must be a kindergarten teacher in my soul

but seeing the goal
seeing the progress
seeing it daily
I am counting on this to help
on my Birthday
135

that's the end game
back in the happy zone

Tony Robbins is Thursday
I am Youtubing up like crazy







I got this
but the beauty?
I only have to worry about today
we only have today
tomorrow isn't even promised
So I am EXCITED to see the whole fam today

stay on track and I will be reporting back here tomorrow along with all da food pixs
😊😊😊😊

tootles me noodles 

The roaring banana

hollar 

howdy doody 

I did GREAT yesterday! 

the only thing different was one extra Fiber One brownies 

zero hunger 

and I was a rabbit nibbling all day 

so this is today's plan 

I took the Trader Joe's salad kit and chopped it up more 

and threw away some of the packages 

only used what you can see (that I didn't cover with my hand) 

added chicken and my own dressing 

I loved this soup 

man oh man was this a blast from the past 

I hadn't had it since 2011! 

sandwich with pickle 

snack will be two egg whites 

and ONE fiber one bar 

and a lovely Honeycrisp apple 

and a little relish tray 

with carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and pea pods 

what there is no picture of is my coffee (yes I tracked it!) 

and my breakfast 

which will be same as yesterday 

egg white (4) sandwich on an Oroweat thin 

loving life 

well maybe not at first I woke up with an ANGRY headache 

a few sips of coffee and an Advil 

slept for 2 more hours and I am good to go 

last work day and then vacation for 6 days 

I am attending Tony Robbins in Los Angeles next week 

not gonna lie 

freaked out like bananas 

when I get back from the event 

I will be like 

tootles me peeps 

see ya tomorrow morning 

catching up

so I have been out of the blogging loop 

doing what? 

getting fluffy seemingly 

 this morning I was 156.8 

yeah 

scale is not going the correct way 

shakes, nah 

Weight Watchers nah 

so I am trying what worked in 2010

so I can get back here 

20 pounds lighter 😒

so food is tracked, counted and measured 

thought is I will blog today and tomorrow morning will be a recap of how my day went

let's give it a whirl... k?  

a fiber One bar as a snack (ah these are not in order) 

soup and a sandwich  

apple and a yogurt 

squash and chicken 

and what I didn't take pictures of is breakfast (haven't made it yet) 

I will have an egg white sandwich 

so that's the plan 

I need this 

I need this accountability to MYSELF 

156.8 this morning 

goal: 135

been there done that and it wasn't so long ago 

just chill, and eat 

doesn't have to be perfectly "clean" 

or anyone else's picture of what a meal plan should look like 

just has to work for me 

this is me working it out for me 

till tomorrow 

because we gotta date .... right here 

And add this! 

And day is complete
