Char Gets Thin's Journal, 11 January 2014

I SOO slipped up yesterday!lol Kind of knew I would, I usually do after a good weekly weigh in. My bad!

But those cookies, still left over from Christmas and still tasting OH so good just got the best of me. Not to mention 4 or 5 pieces of that huge box of chocolate sitting out on my dining room table that I just couldn't bring myself to throw in the trash.

So today I'm doing a partial purge. All the uneaten chocolate goes bye bye. Eh, it's the left overs anyway, I ate all the good stuff last month! ROFL The pizzelles, however, stay. I do eat a few a day, but 6 cookies are 140 calories, and they've got 3g protein...and it's a nice little splurge for those mid day doldrums. lol

Weekend are always my hardest time, too...the hubby is home and drinks his beer and munches all day long. I don't like beer, so avoiding that is no problem, but the munching starts to wear down my resolve to be good and stay op! But today is going to be a strange day...it's another rainy day. I'll still get my walk in (weather doesn't slow me down) but I'm also making bean soup for dinner, to use up the last of the ham...well, black eyed pea soup, actually. And bean soups can definitely be a big higher caloried than I would like. BUT they're sooo very good for you...extremely high in fiber and protein, and very filling. So we're going for it, and we'll see where it leaves me come Monday. As long as I can manage a loss by my weekly WI (though I weigh myself daily, I consider my true WI day to be Friday) I'm a happy camper! :)

Hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend! Today should be a calm day...Val can't catch a wild hog like she did last Saturday, or go off on a cross country hunt like she did on Thursday, simply because they're wild hog hunting at our game preserves this weekend, so she's limited to walking the Rails to Trails ON LEASH! lol

Here's wishing one and all a happy, warm and OP Saturday! Kick the can, but not the plan! (Omg, did I really just SAY that? ROFL)

I love bean soup. I had pasta e fagioli yesterday. I know the high calories are there, but you're right - so good for you! Have a great weekend.

Don't be hard on yourself. You did your weekly weigh in and dang it--I'm right there with you. My hubby--ugh--he just eats the worst things--LOL. He cooks a breakfast with enough calories to last a month! Cheese, bacon, pasta--you name it--he just cooks the best food, but ugh, so fattening. It's so frustrating being on a diet. At the same time--he is the most supportive. He cooks a separate dinner just for me--checking with me about calories! I actually went to the Farmer's Market today and had my little organization list in my mind--"my food" and "their food." I brought home all good veggies/seaweed, etc for me and danishes, cookies, goodies for them. I'm not tempted. What's really impressing me is that my little girl is trying to eat healthier and exercise now. She still has her snacks (knows she can have a certain amount), but she is asking to go to the park to exercise, watch what she is eating (asked for bananas instead of cheeseballs at the store). It's amazing! BTW--beans are really good for you-esp black beans! I'm trying to stick to calories, but at the same time, make sure I'm getting nutrition in all areas. Beans are sooo good for you! Cauliflower is great, too. I hope you are having a fun weekend! Will have to catch on Val (Dog?). sounds like she loves to run! Mine are out, at the moment, running around the yard like lunatics--LOL. Love your new saying--you should copyright it and get shirts made :)
