Monday or Friday?

I really need to stop grocery shopping on Thursday. I am usually gone all weekend and then have limited time to eat my fresh veggies (sun evening, monday, tuesday and then Thursday) I feel like I through out more food than is neccessary.

Also trying to decide if I should change my weigh in day. Friday vs. Monday.
Monday keeps me accountable on weekends, which doesn't really work as well at it should. (granted I am coming off a holiday weekend.)
Friday lets me recover from falling off the wagon on the weekend.

Which is a truer measure of weight? I think I will try logging weight for both days for a few weeks and see what the numbers show.

Totally ready for the weekend. This week has been short but odd.

No Winners and No Losers

I got on the scale this morning, post holiday weekend misbehavior. No gain and no loss on the scale. That isn't bad. I was expecting a gain. I had a horrible day on Tuesday where I was hungry all day and couldn't satisfy the hunger. Then of course Saturday we were on the boat and a cook out Sunday. When I finally got home yesterday, I wasn't hungry. I ate decently but didn't eat a lot.

Started the week off well. Great breakfast.
MyFitnessPal  I can't seem to post a screen shot from here. oh well

 I am going to attempt to hit the gym tonight. Let's see what happens!

Off to Trader Joes to introduce a friend to the awesomeness!

Holiday Weekend!

Great weekend is coming to an end. I was great on food on  Friday and today so far I'm not bad. but Saturday we were on the boat which meant I drank my calories.  We got there just after 2 and left after 8. We went with friend M and C. And C made sandwiches and I brought cheese, pepperoni and crackers. And that was all I ate plus the beer. We got back to J's house and relaxed a bit and had more cheese and crackers. 
Saw some great clouds and of course a sunset over the lake is gorgeous.

Sunday was J's nephew's birthday party so we had burgers and dogs and lots of food all day. J's sister in law, also a Trader Joes fan like myself made the most amazing chocolate cake (pretty sure it was TJ cake mix) So rich, omg. She used coca-cola instead of other liquids. The cake was cookie shaped. It was awesome. I wish I had gotten a picture. dinner was more burgers and leftovers from the day.

Back at home now, I made some cheese quesadillas and just had some apple crisp I threw together a cuple of apples, walnuts, some brown sugar and GF oats. pretty good. The walnuts turned dark in the cast iron dish but it was pretty good. Oh and I covered with cinnamon. Pretty good, maybe next time I won't use the cast iron. But it was the smallest bake ware dish I had.

Now off to do laundry and lots of ironing. Back to normal business casual .

I have been logging food on myfitnesspal the last few days. My goal is not to count calories but to make myself log everything.


Well yesterday was a major fail. Just too much going on. I totally doubled my recommend calories but again I have to remind myself it isn’t about calorie counting right now. Just trying to track my food.

 
My birthday was in July and my team did a belated birthday celebration Dunkin donuts and coffee. I didn’t have a donut in the morning but my post lunch/afternoon cravings got me. And the rest of the day went to hell. It was very sweet of my team though.

My 15 yr high school reunion is at Thanksgiving. Not sure if I want to go but I really want to lose weight before then.


I didi much better on tracking yesterday. J and I went out to dinner and I think I overtracked what I ate. (chose higher calorie options/over estmated on portions)  I am going grocery shopping after work and will spend part of my evening portioning out snacks etc. My portions are not good. I almost feel I should keep a set of measuring cups at work to watch my portions.

Now if only I could get my fat ass to the gym
