baking!

I am soooo tired! no post tonight just some picutes as to why I am tired tonight!

Night Time

Ok why is it that everyday I can track 100% and feel satisfied all day long but after dinner its like I am a bottomless pit...

It's beginning to drive me nuts.. its 6:30 and I feel like I haven't even had a bit of food today! It's not like I don't eat well balance dinners, because I do! Maybe really I am not hungry I just feel I should be snacking! I don't know! This week has not been the greatest, waaay to many BTL (Bites licks and Tastes).

I always seem to do this to myself when I am losing weight. I get down to where I start to really feel good then I sabbotage myself by celebrating with food. It's like I seem to forget that the reason I was the way I was was because I ate whatever I wanted. I only have 16 pounds to lose but it seems like I am never going to get there... the scale doesnt want to seem to budge. I am so frustrated! I am just in a bad mood and feel like I could care less right now... I had to make like 50 sugar cookies for the girls Valentine's parties at school and they are seriously calling my name. I have had one today with a little frosting and that sucker cost me 3 points! I want to go eat the entire container of them right now! WHY!?!?!

Bah ok enough of me venting... here is the eats for the day...

After work RB and a good friend of hers registered for a Zumbathon! It is to raise money for a Digital Mammography at our hospital! I can't wait! We made up our team name today and we are going to be called Twisty Sisters! I can't wait to get out there and get some pledges for the good cause.

I was so hungry tonight I completely forgot to take a picture of my meal! And at lunch I was at work and didn`t have my camera POO!!!!

Ever say screw it?!

So the answer to my blog title... YES! Yesterday was one of those days! Well the entire day was good, I didn't snack at work, I counted everything... then as soon as I was done supper last night I could not control myself! I couldn't stop, well I could stop I just decided to say "Screw counting, Im gonna eat!!", and eat I did... here is how it all went down lol. So we had supper, I made Diet coke sloppy joes that I got from Honey, I Shrank Myself. They were yummy, sweeter but still yummy! Ok so I ate dinner, then I had desser.. 1/2 cup of 1/2 the fat ice cream, a bannana nut vitatop and 2 Tblsp of Cool Whip free... So I was still within points at this time... Then I had not one but two BIG bowls of Original Mini Wheats with 1% milk, then if that wasnt enough food I made a peanut butter and jam sandwich with real peanut butter!

I was soooo sick! OMG my stomach hurt it was so full... I binged, yes I know. I have been so good and haven't in a long time. I justified it by telling myself heck you walked around the area 21 times today, gorge yourself! Geesh what was I thinking! Oh well today was a new day and when I woke up I didn't even want to look at food haha. I knew I had to have some breakfast because I was working all day today. So my eats today have been good. RB and I walked around the arena again today but my knee is killing me! I think it's so sore because the arean floor in concrete.. I dunno just a thought.

I have realised that lately I have been excersizing about 5 times a week! I mean Zumba is for sure the best workout, but thats only twice a week, the other days RB and I walk around the arena. Even just walking for 45 minutes makes me feel awesome! I used to just come home after work and plop my butt on the couch and eat! I want to try and bump up walk days with more of a workout but not sure when... I have sooo many workout videos so maybe I will start doing some of those!

I tried two new recipes tonight, one was sort of a taco type pasta thing.. and the other I got from a really awesome blog I have been reading, Loser for Life- gave me this awesome idea! Breadcrumb cheese baked Zuchinni! It was sooo yumy and sooooo filling!! I will post the recipe.. I couldnt find one on her blog so I looked at her picture of it and kinda guessed how it went, except I added a little pizza sauce on top when they were done baking.

Recipes
 Taco Baked Pasta
1 pound  extra lean ground chicken (I used Jenny O) 13
1 package reduced sodium taco seasoning mix 3
1 15 oz can tomato sauce 2
3 cups (8 oz) rotini, cooked and drained 14 (200 grams raw)
1 cup reduced fat Weight Watchers Mexican cheese 6
½ cup reduced fat sour cream 2
40 points for entire thing 5 servings equals 8 pts per serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground chicken. Stir in seasoning mix and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Combine cooked pasta, ½ cup of the cheese and the sour cream and place on the bottom of a 6 X 10 baking dish. Top with meat mixture and remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.

Breaded Cheesy Zuchinni
I took one Zuchinni and cut it in half, scooped out just enough seeds to place cheese string in a divit. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and RF parmesan cheese. Baked at 350 for about half an hour. Broiled them for about 30 seconds until brown and bubble and delicious!

Can't stop!!!

I seriously can't stop snacking... omg! Thats all i can say tonight. yikes ill post tomorrow...

Weigh In...

Well ok so last week I was down 4! this week a measly .2.... I mean yes its down and not up, but come on not even a full 1! I realize that its going to slow down, but I still need to lose 18 pounds! Oh well, back at it... TOMORROW lol. Didn't really cheat like I did last week, had a few bits of the cupcakes, they were meh... didnt really hit the spot. I love food more.. I was going to go to Subway and get a nice footlong with bacon but meh I didn't. So I had a sandwich at home, didn't count points all day but didn't eat to bad. Just kinda had bites of this and that. Went up to a nice coffee shop with Aunt and had a yummy chai latte and a healthy cookie, well a peice of it and a half of a cream cheese raspberry chocolate chip muffin. Cookie was also meh (word of the day i guess) not enough sugar in it or something it was very blan. So all in all not a bad cheat day...

On to other things, got a call from twins school... long story short, I am very dissapointed and honestly overwhelmed... at home I have very well behaved kids, at daycare they are awesome, but apparantly at birthday parties and school they do not listen. They scream and yell and act out in ways I don't even want to write! What is going on!?!?!?! So for the afternoon I spent a lot of time crying and feeling defeated and just overwhelmed... had a very long talk with both of them and hopefully it helps or sinks in...

I have my meals planned for tomorrow already so Ill be back at it tomorrow! Trying somethig new tomorrow that I found on a fellow blogger. I will share tomorrow!

Nite XO

Bad food day...

Woke up early and took the girls to school, then headed to the States with my Grandma for grocery shopping! Found some realy good eats today and I can't wait to share them all with you as I eat them! When I say bad food day, I don't mean I ate a lof of bad stuff but I didn't really eat much of anything today... Befor we left I had a Fiber One granola bar and then we didn't get home till around 1:30 and by the time I was done unpacking everything it was 2:15 ish. Then the girls got home and we did homework and it was 3:30 when all that was done... I wasn't even really that hungry... weird I know. So I just ate my leftover piece of dijon dill chicken. I am just waiting to go to Zumba then for dinner I am having something small, Veggie burger in a wrap with some side veggies... I know boring right! But it is weigh in day tomorrow so I am trying to keep my last meal's sodium level down and not having something to heavy. I know it's bad to be under points but I don't want to go overboard right befor weigh in tomorrow. I am just not feeling it as it is for tomorrow...

I will be back tomorrow with more and better eats, in fact it is cheat day and I did stop at the cupcake shop in Colville today.... yum!

Blah...

Today was good all day, I had a lot of energy, first say of Wearing my new pedmoter, but now I am sooo snacky its driving me nuts! Honestly thank goodness for this blog or I wouldn't be able to control myself!

So let's start with my new pedometer- OMRON GO smart, I love this little thing. It is small and I just clipped it right onto my pants. I wore it as soon as I got dressed and am still wearing it now. Kept looking at it all day to see what was going on, it made me try and walk around more at work! I love this thing! RB and I went walking after work and so far my total steps are 9901, burning 273 calories. I am soooo curious to see how many calories burned when I wear it to Zumba tomorrow!

So in yesterday's post I mentioned I did the Bob Harper yoga workout... ya well lets just say I could barely get out of bed this morning! Places hurt I didn't know could hurt! It lets me know I worked hard though, which is a great feeling!

BM left to go back to work today, he will be home in 15 more sleeps haha. I miss him a lot, the first day is always the hardest, but it gets easier and easier as the days go by. Girls really miss him to, they know exactly how many sleeps are left till daddy's home.

Just finished watching the Bachelor, ok its time for Courtenay to go home!!! BOO! I really don't like her. I think she is showing the girls her real side and showing Ben the fake side of her. I hope he sees it soon!

SAUCE:4 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Garlic and Herb
1/2 cup 1 % low-fat milk
1 Tbsp. reduced fat parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. Yogurt Butter
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed (I did not add chicken to mine)
1/2 cup cooked broccoli
4 oz. whole wheat fettuccine ( I used an entire box on catelli smart taste spaghetti to make more servings)
~
Cut chicken into cubes. Spray skillet with canola oil cooking spray. Add cubed chicken to skillet and cook until done. Set aside.
Cook fettuccine according to package direction.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine sauce ingredients over low heat until everything is melted and the sauce is velvety smooth, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately over the hot cooked fettuccine (or spaghetti).

I heart Bob!

So Sundays are the one day a week we all get to sleep in! We slept today till about 9:30! Felt amazing! I woke up not very hungry and kind of layed around for an hour or so. BM wanted to hit the gym today, and take the girls swiming, so I decided I would try a Biggest Loser workout video I have. It was the Bob Harber Yoga Weightloss! Ok I remember trying yoga when I think I was probably in grade 10. I remember it being boring and just not for me. So I decided heck I'll give it another shot. I pulled out my pretty purple yoga mat I bought a few years ago that was collecting dust and put it in. Let me tell you! What a great workout! It wasn't easy by any means but it felt good to be pushed and to do something different than what I have been doing. It honestly kicked my but! I was shaking and sweating and could feel every part of my body working! When it was time for cool down and stretch it was such a great feeling to have completed the entire workout (about an hour). I will definetly be doing that workout again!

As soon as I was done working out I realised it was noon and I hadn't eaten breakfast!! Not good! So I ate a bannana to put something in my stomache. I am going to wait till BM and the girls get home from the pool to make up some lunch for all of us. I am going to make some pita pizza's. The family
looooves pizza!

For dinner I tried another new recipe. We had dijon-dill chicken in foil packets.

Well supper was a success, girls and BM really liked it. But even after my dessert, I sliced half a bannana, threw it in with crumbled cookies, vanilla yogurt and some cool whip, I am still feeling very munchy!! This makes me nervous, because it's so hard for me to control myself when I feel like this. I open the cupboard a million times then I usualy cave in and eat anything I can get into my mouth in a two minute span... Wish me luck, I am going to catch up on some blog reading and hopefully that will distract me...

Also here is a pic of me my besty SP and her baby Giovani!! I love him!! And I love her!!!

1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp dried dill weed(can use fresh dill weed)
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4 oz pieces
Preheat oven to 350°F.Combine mustard, yogurt, garlic salt and dill in a small bowl; thoroughly coat chicken with mustard sauce. Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap each chicken breast individually. Place a prepared chicken breast on each piece of foil; gather foil loosely around chicken and fold over to seal.Place foil packs on a nonstick baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes. Using oven mitts and keeping your face away from steam, open foil. Broil chicken on foil until lightly browned and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
Yields 1 piece of chicken per serving at 3 points each.

I think I found the best thing ever!

Today was just like any other day, had to work today... Nothing else really happened today. When I got home from work BM and I took the girls to get there bangs trimmed, after that we went shopping for a few things and boy was I starrrving!!! That is the worst time for me to be in the vacinity of anything you can buy food wise. I will buy anything that looks good and screw up my points that way. I stayed on track and bought only what we needed. Then we went to another store because I wanted to get some of these

These are soooo yummy! And you get 8 good sized wedges for only 2 points!!! I also bought the sweet potatoe ones and cooked 6 of them and tried one and didn't like them. To sweet for me.

Ok so I was starving, BM loves him some chips, so of course the aisle I bought the potatoes.... right behind us was the chips! Go figure! He loves the Kettle brand honey dijon chips. I also love these. So I saw the baked ones hickory and smoked bbq, and I turned it over and for 30-33 chips its 3 points!!!! Let me tell you they are sooooo dang good!!!!

I managed to get out of the store befor I wandered to the deli and got some japanese salad that I love so much! So all in all I did good! I am going to look in the states to see if they have any other flavours to try of those chips too!

Back at it!

Today was a good day! Stayed OP all day! Made a new recipe that I got from a fellow blogger TJ's Test Kitchen. Her's were a lot prettier than mine.. but they were delicious!! I will post a pic after. RB and I went right after work to the arena for our walk. We weren't walking as fast as we usually do so we only did 10 laps instead of 14... but was still nice to get in a walk! My aunt took me for a walk yesterday by a small airport, there was a lot of snow but it was a nice 45 minute walk outside! I brough Luna (my dog) and she loved it! When Aunty gets her snowshoes I think we are going to try that! Love trying new things!

So at work right now we have a competition going on, the branch is divided into two teams, and team A (not my team) is in the lead for this week. Each week the team that did the best that week gets a treat. Well today team B got to pick something they want from McDonalds. Now I don't eat a lot of McDonald's but I must say, when you are losing weight and eating healthy, that smell is so enticing! And never mind one girl standing in eye view mowing down her McChicken while you are waiting on members! I was hungry, and the smell and the visulization and hearing mmmmm this is soooo good, really set me off. I was mad. Don't be rude. Then RB made a good point, they are putting that on and in there body and we are taking it off! I would rather take it off! Do you have anything that urks you when someone does something food related???

Well i did really wel yesterday... but then night time hit and I had 5(ya 5!!) peices of pizza and a cupcake from the local bakery... I felt awful after I ate it and I will never do it again! Tonight the entire family is going out for my Grandma's birthday, we are going to a local chinese food restaurant. My plan is to have 4 steamed pork dumplings and a cup of won top soup and some steamed veggies... we will see how that goes. I was 167 yesterday and I weighed myself this morning and I was right back up to 171... yikes!!! My goal this time BM was home was to track everything and stay completely OP while he was home... guess I failed at that... but usually I would say ok screw the rest of the week.. but not this time! I wil do this!

Weigh In and Other Stuff!!!

WOW!!! So much to blog about! I am now back from Calgary! What an amazing trip! Got to meet my bestest friends baby Giovanni! I just love him! So precious! Probably the cutest baby I have ever seen! It was soooo nice to catch up with SP as well, we have been best friends since middle school and will be BFFs for the rest of our lives. We have a special kind of bond, we can go weeks without talking(not that we ever do) and always know we are always there for one another. So it was so nice to meet her new little man and spend some good time together!

I feel like I have so much to write about that I don't even know where to start!! Being away for two days, I was worried about eating and what the scale was going to say today... I am not going to tell you how the scale was yet..

SP and her husband are also doing WW! So I was so happy that when we were home I knew I would be OP! I cooked them supper both nights I was there. The first night we had chicken tenders coated in a ranch packet and 1/3 cup of bread crumbs. The second night I made delicious pita pizza's! YUM! For breakfasts I had oatmeal with brown sugar and half a bananna. Ok so the day I was there for a full day, we went shopping at a realllly nice mall... It was about 1:30 and we were starving, so we headed to the food court... WOW soo much yummy food! So many yummy smells! I had a NSV, we went to subway, now usually when I go to Subway I get a foot long melt, on cheese bread, lots and lots of mayo and ranch! BUT! I got a 6" turkey breast on whole wheat with lots of veggies, a tiny bit of light mayo and mustard! All that for only 7 points! I was so proud that for one I was starving and didn't throw in the towel and tell myself "Hey your on vacation, eat whatever you want" and second that the smells of the other choices didn't make me wonder somewhere else! I was soooo proud!

So like I said we were shopping, I wanted to try on some clothes, and my GF is awesome to shop with, she makes me try things on that I would never think to try on... AND she was like there is no way that you are a large in size anymore... another NSV! I was like ok... Ill try a medium... and guess what! IT FIT! I can't tell you the last time I ever bought something in that size... probably never, because as a child I always wore L too! I was sooo happy!!

Ok so tracking all week and also tracking perfectly the three days I was away from my home eating, it was time to weigh in this morning.... I couldn't beleive it! Down 4 lbs!!!!!!! I was 171 last week this week I am at 167! I think the last time I weighed this was in middle school... I am sooo happy!!! Tracking and staying OP pays off! WW works and I love it! I also must say while I was there I ate a lot of fruit and kind of tried the new PointsPlus because that is what they are doing... and maybe thats why my number was soo good? Maybe I wil have to try it out... MAYBE!

Back at it today, BM and I were going to go skiing today but when we woke up it was raining cats and dogs so we opted out and were gonna hang out today and get some errands done. Yes it is cheat day... and BM is home so I don't know what I am going to do. I think I am going to do what I did last week, track all day and then at supper have one thing that is a splurge but still try and stay within points for the day!

So glad to be back! I will start posting recipes and pictures again! So happy to see more people checking out my blog! WW rocks!!!
