attitude is a weird thing

it's like a switch

either it's on, or off 

can't understand... but right now the switch is flipped 

I walked over 4 miles yesterday... got me in some cardio 

I shouldn't be blogging... I should be on my way to the gym 

but if I end up on my treadmill this morning that's all good 

this is a close up of the egg white fritatta I made 

so yummy 

sauteed mushrooms, onions, red bell peppers 

asparagus and put in 2 cups of frozen hash browns 

and 28g of cheese, an entire large carton of whites

came out to 80 calories per square 

win win  

I have to stop this!!! 

I am always making jokes about it but I seriously 

seriously seriously need a fashion fix 

wearing hubsters shorts and shirt 

sheesh woman 

Thinking of trying Stitch Fix

please please comment if you have tried!!!!! 

I SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY dislike clothes shopping! 

like SERIOUSLY!!!  

Tup life

Food Journaling for 4 days in the main

my day in food pictures 

aka food journaling 

I won't be taking pictures every day 

as I eat a lot of the same thing over and over 

coffee time!!! 

tracked it ... notice the tablespoon 

half unsweetened almond milk 

half SF creamer

did the treadmill 

some abs and a few push ups 

got my sweat on! 

a serving of the egg white fritatta I made 

ah yum! 

This I made enough for 4 days 

CRAZY food packed 

and water 

and this was on my drive into work 

can't forget the vitamins! 

orange 

I also bought 4 so this will be reoccurring 

peach 

also same for the next 4 days 

small serving cottage cheese with pepper 

used it like a dip for 24 small pretzels  

another serving of the egg white fritatta

I didn't have any pico pica so spicy mustard worked as a back up plan  

130 calories of Fage 0% 

with a cup of frozen berries  

spaghetti squash 

4 ounces ground turkey 

and 1/4 cup light Prego Alfredo  

I made 4 servings of this also 

oh this was ???

kind of super sweet 

not sure about this 

and my SF frozen yogurt  

seems like too much? 

nope all tracked and within my budget  

protein a little low but as long as it's over 100

I am happy Sugar was also good  

also double tracked and within the Weight Watcher points 

I have found I feel puffed up proud of the task

 when I do the HUGE meal prep

the one where my freezer has 20-30 meals 

but I am trying not to over think all this 

keep my meals fresher 

and the act of making, planning, buying 

makes me feel like I am on track 

so yesterday was a good day 

a lot of thinking about the future 

I am a happy gal 

tootles 

feels good

to be cooking again 

I was busy at it this afternoon making food for the next few days 

meal prep for the entire month (I am an all or nothing soul) 

gets BORING for me 

so I cooked for a few days 

egg white fritatta (pictures tomorrow) 

spaghetti squash with ground turkey 

feeling good 

and the verdict on the Mother of the bride dress? 

it's a win 

dinner with the hubster tonight 

his menu: hot wings and NFL 

mine: cauliflower rice and ground turkey 

~~~~ I had leftover cooked turkey from meal prep~~~~ 

still hanging out 

still in the gym 

weighing and measuring 

weight seems to be stuck 

but that's what plateaus are 

but mine has been here for the last 18 months

trying to break the sleep aid habit 

so I was awake BRIGHT and early 

or way late 

depends on how you look at it 

it's amazing how hard relaxing and letting being okay be ok is 

trying to step out of my comfort zone is so hard 

even thinking about getting ready to step out is scary 

makes no sense 

I need to get some inspiration mind food 

rambling this morning 

only had 5 hours of sleep 

tootles bloggity crew 

why tempt fate?

I am an almost daily scale junkie 

Wake up, use the restroom and go get on the scale 

not today 

I have been doing really good 

staying on plan 

so why do I need the scale this morning? 

not needed.... 

sometimes the scale helps me to be appreciative of my hard work 

other times it is a source of frustration 

other times ..... not sure why though 

it is a free pass to eat out of control 

if the number is good it's like okay FOOD TIME!!!! 

so not today 

maybe tomorrow 

we'll see 

how often do you weigh? 

so often I hear people say... it's not about the number on the scale 

but that is soooo not my mindset... 

maybe I need a new attitude? 

tootles noodles 

7 FULL days

okay it is official 

 7 full days 

scale said 158.6 this morning (ahhh I think) 

I know the 158 part for sure 

cause I jumped off the scale before it could change it's mind 

the .6 part ... not to clear on 

but for sure it said 158 point something 

had a few too many down days this past week 

in regards to exercise 

but changing things up

yes again 

sheesh I know.... what is my dealeo!!??

but losing weight is mainly about the food 

 2010 lost bunches doing just 20 minutes of walking 

so I will find a routine again 

but work today

getting in a groove

funny how sometimes for no unknown reason 

things just kind of click into place 

have I lost mega pounds my first week?

ah no 

but more than the weight 

(back at 159 this morning) 

has been an understanding that I am not perfect 

it's okay to have a treat 

SF frozen yogurt or a 60 calorie chocolate 

but enjoy it and move on 

and no this doesn't mean move on to eat everything in sight 

Got in a lot of exercise this last week ahh gold star!
