POINT 2 AWAY!!!!!

this morning i went to weigh in, and i was literally . 2 away from my 25lbs!! this is insane LOL -- im ok with it because i could have gained and i would have been really mad if that happened. i didnt get to stay for my meeting because i had to be at work. but this week, i am being extremely strict with myself! i have no excuse not to make it next week, and continue weeks after that.

im keeping it short tonight, hope you all have a good night =) xo

trying new things...

i got creative with my lunch one day and made an arugula salad with strawberries, blueberries, cheese and dressing that has no carbs, sugar, etc... it was really really good! on the side, if u can see, there is some pita with hummus. and a snack from WW.

todays lunch below was a sandwich, sugar free jello, a WW bar, and fruit. as u can tell, i love my berries =)

 so when you hear the words brussel sprouts, what do you think of? before i ate them, i thought they were the most disgusting thing ever. just looking at them made me not want to eat them. expanding your horizons and trying new things is a great way to eat healthier. i never thought i would enjoy the brussel sprouts, but i really did. we made them with a little olive oil, and some garlic powder, and roasted them in the oven. these were on the side of a delicious hamsteak! my dinner tonight was definitely a filling one. (i didnt eat the corn--i was way too full) LOL !

im going to get creative tomorrow and come up with my own pasta & zucchini..lets see what happens!

goodnight everyone =)

been under the weather...

hey everyone,
sorry i havent wrote in a few days. i have been sick with this horrible cold and all i am doing is sleeping if i am not working. i did find time last night to fit in my work out which was good because i really needed it. i had chinese for dinner and i feel it in my hands this morning (all the salt).

so today i plan of drinking a LOT of water. of course ill work out later on again, because i am loving the feeling afterwards. it makes me feel good about myself.

ill keep ya posted. talk to you all later. xoxo

i work out...

so last night, i decided to do a work out that i have from weight watchers. it was 30 minutes of kick boxing with these weight gloves. its called "PUNCH!", and its available for members at all of the centers. 


all i have to say is my body was hurting today, and its not because i am not feeling good. i was feeling the work out as soon as i started. i really want to try and do it every night so i can get the hang of it. after 30 minutes, it moves on to 35 minutes and then 45 minutes. 


it felt really good to have done something for my body besides eating right. 


does anyone else do great work outs? i know people rave about zumba all the time..

up & DOWN..

hey everyone! so today i went for my weekly weigh in, and i was down 1/2 a pound. i know its good, but at the same time, im frustrated because i feel like im doing so well throughout the week and then when it comes down to the weigh in, im up and down with the same few pounds. i need something to spice it up a little bit, and i think i am going to force myself to work out for an hour each night. yes i am tired after work every day, but i gotta do something besides eating right, because its just not enough right now. i have to hit this 25lb mark and keep going! 


so after my weigh in, i passed the bagel place and was so tempted to go in and get a bagel, or even worse, an egg sandwich. but i said NO and stuck with my vitatop that was defrosting in my bag. 


i didnt have time to make lunch, so i had grabbed a quick lunch special from benihana. it really wasnt a lot of food, and it sure kept me full all day long. im really not looking for anything to eat for dinner right now. sundays are my cheat day since i have the whole week to be good =) 


hope everyone had a great weekend! stay tuned for more this week, and maybe more recipe ideas =) (im thinking of going and making one now )

the weekend is here...

i am 2 days away from my weigh in and i really hope i dont blow it this time. last night i went to trader joe's with my mom and i freakin LOVE that store! if i could buy one of everything, i would. we had a ball there last night. 


since today is friday during lent, i am not eating meat. for breakfast i ate a multigrain bagel from trader joe's which was 5 points. i just made my lunch for work, which was a salad with cucumbers, beets that are ready to eat (2 for 1 point), a cheese stick(2points), and 2tbsp of no calorie dressing for ZERO points. ill pack some fruit and a snack to go with it as well. 


looking forward to a great weekend, and hoping for a good weigh in! 

had a bad day..

yesterday was a really bad day and i found myself eating whatever i could get my hands on. it was not good, but i just have to deal with it now and move on. i started out having breakfast at home, and when i stopped for coffee at this AMAZING bagel store, i then craved a bagel. and of course i had one =( these are things i have to work ok. my self control gets crazy sometimes and i just need to say no to things i shouldnt have. 


i am hoping to come home tonight and make a good dinner. maybe ill stop at the store and make another recipe i have found. 


ill keep you posted. thanks again for reading =) send it along if you are enjoying and think others will.
