I made homemade tortilla chips today. Well they are kind of homemade lol. I took small corn tortillas and sliced them the way I wanted. I then put them in an even layer on a baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray and lightly salted. I baked them at 350 for 15 minutes. They came out really good! I had a lean pocket for breakfast and for lunch I had a Healthy choice soup with some saltine crackers. I have drank my whole jug of water and had a cup of coffee earlier. I have not worked out today. I need to spice it up again. I haven't done Richard Simmons since I started and I think that's just what I need to get back into the swing of things on the exercise front! I went grocery shopping today and got stuff to make egg salad one of these days. I have been craving an egg salad sandwich! I make mine with light miracle whip, salt, pepper, garlic powder, a little bit of mustard, some finely chopped green pepper, onion, celery, a diced dill pickle and I add a lettuce leaf when I make a sandwich. That is my famous egg salad sandwich recipe lol. I don't have too much to say. I have been enjoying my weekend :)

<-- I am a photographer and I still manage to cut my face off in a picture. LOL - I am going on a hot date tonight with Michael! He called me on his break and asked me (how cute). So today will be a cheat day for me! I am not sure what I will have but i'm going for whatever I have the taste for. I had 2 eggs and wheat toast for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I am half way through my 75oz water jug. I am skipping lunch. I have yet to workout today. I am not sure if I will do a basement work out or get my groove on. I'll probably get my groove on lol. When all else fails; DANCE! I am starting to get into another awkward stage in my weight loss. 97% of my clothes are dumb. I can't keep up! But I spose that's a good thing ;-) The picture below is of my dinner I had last night. I made baked sweet potato fries and I sliced up a pre-marinated chicken breast and rolled the strips in egg and then saltine cracker crumbs and baked them. I wasn't sure what I was doing or how they would turn out but I will definitely be making them again! Reminded me of KFC chicken strips but a gazillion times better for you lol. I baked them at 400 for about 20 minutes. So far I am having a better day. I woke up with a smile and on top of it I weighed myself and I am now 80….EIGHTY pounds down!!!! Wowee! I only have 20 more to go until I will have lost a whopping 100. I can’t even imagine how accomplished I will feel when I can say that I have lost 100 pounds. Hoping in a couple months I will be able to say that. This morning I woke up and had oatmeal for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I am about to make some lunch for myself soon. I think I might do something different. I have a bunch of chicken breasts in the freezer and I’m going to look online for different recipes. I will probably have a breast for lunch or dinner; not sure. I just started my 75oz water jug. I plan to work out today. I think I am going to dance. I just love to dance. I feel I have been all over the place these past few posts. I need to remember this isn’t my diary and it is meant for my weight-loss only. I had posted some personal stuff yesterday but for those of you who read it please forgets you did ha-ha. I feel good. I feel boney. My collar bones are very noticeable now and I love it! I have also been getting into stretching or some people would think I was doing yoga if they saw me. I can pretty much fold myself in half lol & I am pretty close to being able to put my leg over my head; it’s crazy! It has been really helping out with my balance. I forgot how flexible I used to be when I was younger I used to be big into gymnastics and ballet. I think yoga is something I could really get into now. It is something I have been considering! Today has been an emotional one. We put down my cat Nosey. I got her as a kitten when I was a little girl. She was my first pet that I ever got to pick out. She was 20 years old (96 in human years). We have been debating for quite some time now on when we think we should put her down and last night she started puking up blood. Her health has been slowing going downhill over the past few years but she has always kept her spunk until recently. She has not been herself and it would have been selfish for us to keep her going on the way she has been. She will forever be in my heart. I have not been exercising. I don’t plan to exercise today and no I am not giving up. I had a lean pocket for breakfast and I had a late lunch/dinner of baked pork loin and baked sweet potato fries. I went to town today and picked up some more sweet potatoes because they are on sale. Taking it day by day; until tomorrow. So guess what I had for breakfast… Oatmeal! I bet you guys couldn’t have guessed that one! I had soup for lunch and low fat subway sub for dinner.
I have been doing a lot of self reflection lately; that is why I have been so short. I have a lot of things I have been thinking over so I apologize for being brief. My blog has become more of a chore lately and that shouldn’t be. This season change into winter has been really kicking my butt! I think I have seasonal depression or something of that nature. I just have not been feeling myself. I had 2 eggs and toast for breakfast and had a lean pocket for lunch. I had a baked pork loin fillet with some baked sweet potato fries. I am almost done with my water jug and have not had any green tea. I still have yet to work out. Today is a cold rainy day. I cleaned and got cozy in the house. I am not looking forward to winter! I can see my mood going downhill with the weather; lol. I am not one to get into any kind of winter activities so once snow hits it looks like I’m going to have to dance it up to Richard Simmons or work out in my basement. I know I said i'd post a bigger entry and I hate to be a fuddy duddy but I don’t have too much else to say! So.., UNTIL TOMORROW :) I can’t believe I forgot to post yesterday! I was busy most of the day cleaning
and then had a few friends over last night. I totally spaced it off. Any who; I have lost another 2 pounds! I weighed myself again. I am now at 260 and 78 pounds down. I just got up not too long ago. I still have yet to have my breakfast. I will post a bigger entry later on; I just wanted to make up for yesterday! This is what I cheated with today for my Friday cheat day! Fried potatoes! I haven’t made them for myself like this since I have started my journey. I even buttered my toast lol. I cooked the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil and I used this new butter I got made with olive oil to butter my toast. It is 50 calories a tablespoon. I cooked the eggs in the same pan as my potatoes where in. I don’t plan on cheating anymore with food today. At 1PM I am going for a walk with a friend. I missed working out yesterday but that’s ok; it all evens out if I get my exercise in today. I weighed myself this morning and I have lost another pound. I wish it was more than just a pound but I am still happy! I now weigh 263 pounds and am 76 pounds down. 4 more pounds to go until I will have lost 80 and only 24 more to go until I will have lost 100! I cannot wait to be in the 250’s… I think once I get into the 240’s I will start to feel normal. I know there is no “normal” but for me I will feel normal lol. I am still big but not anywhere near as big as I used to be at 338! <-- I had 2 scrambled eggs with wheat toast for dinner. For breakfast I had oatmeal with a cup of green tea and for lunch I had a can of Healthy Choice soup with some saltine crackers. I had a good workout in the basement last night. I have not worked out today and I don't plan to. Tomorrow is my cheat day but I have plans to go for a walk with a friend so i'm taking today off for exercisng. I just don't feel like it. I am weighing in tomorrow morning. I am nervous! I have not been on the scale all week! I am hoping for the best. I have been goood girl! I waited to long to post this. I am tired and ready for bed soon! |
