My scale is really stupid. When I first started my journey I weighed more than the scale went up to, and I had to guess. And the lines are really small and hard to read. So I thought my starting weight was 272. Ugh. But it really might have been 275. But... either way, a MINIMUM weight loss of 4 pounds since Tuesday when we all started this chapter is pretty freakin' awesome!! I am so excited!
Jen, thank you so much for mentioning MFP. I really, really love it. It is SO easy. AND I found AnnMarie again!!! Yay!!
So right now, our house has been hit with the plague. Jonathan has a cold, I have a bad cold starting, Stephen has a fever, and according to him, this is the "worstest Valentine's Day ever."
So-- another victory to complete the day yesterday? Sure.
I did NOT eat before I left for rehearsal, and you know what? I did NOT die of hunger. I was fine.
But, on my way home I was pretty hungry, so I called my husband to look up calories of things on MFP, but he couldn't figure it out, so I got a nutrition sheet from McDonalds and ended up with a small fry and an angus snack wrap (that was SUPPOSED to be PICKLE-FREE but wasn't. grr.). And then I still had calories left over, and didn't go over in any of my categories. (I dont think, anyway!)
A day that had pizza AND mcdonalds, and I was still under my calories.
Awwww yeah.
:)
So the working out is definitely taking a back seat since my chest feels like it has mold in it and my head is perpetually fuzzy. It is what it is.
I really hope that I start feeling better soon because the weather is supposed to warm up this week!!
pizza and mcdonalds and you were under? that's impressive.
ReplyDeletei would suggest buying a digital scale, much easier to read. although mine can vary from .2 to 1 pound between stepping on and stepping off within a minutes time.
Good going, Mer. Proud of you. Have you ever read Eat This, Not That? If not, I highly recommend it. Sometimes you would be surprised what the healthiest option is in a restaurant! I live by those books. I have Eat This, Not That 2011 Edition, Cook This, Not That, and the Supermarket Survival Guide, too!!
ReplyDeleteWow a day that included pizza and mcdonalds and best yet no guilt! What a great lifestyle we are living....fabulous job with the weight loss!
