Was woken up this morning by the worst karaoke ever! It's been going on for just over an hour. It's all distorted and echoey and so painfully, painfully off-key! And I can't even understand what is being sung...and I don't think it's a foreign language or anything...it's just that bad! Oh wait...I just figured out that someone is murdering "My Way." Wow...epic, epic bad!
Guess I should try to eat some breakfast and get out of the house today.
I will be going out this evening. Ian really wants to go to the new A&W that opened not too far from our place. I didn't really want to go, but he's treating, so I'll head along for the ride.

No loss this week, but no gain either, so I will count my blessings.
I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't be eating MORE than what fatsecret has recommended to me. I don't feel deprived on 1800 calories a day, I fell pretty good about it. In fact, there have been days when I'm feeling pretty full and have checked in with my diet calendar only to notice that I've eaten only about 1000 to 1100 calories. So I find myself mindlessly snacking to try and make up some more calories, even though I'm not really hungry. Conversely, I have days where I could eat and eat and eat! But it would be fruit and yogurt and salad and chicken and veggies and cheese and crackers - all that small, munchy, crunchy stuff.
I'm just wondering if maybe, for the next little while, if I shouldn't be eating just a little bit more. I'm in the midst of an eight-week layoff, so I don't have to be anywhere or do anything at any particular time. I'm trying to be more active - I'm in the process of going through P90X (and I am absolutely TERRIBLE, can't do a push-up unless it's on my knees, and even then, it's pretty awful. :P But it's also interesting to see how much I can push myself daily. However, I hate, hate, HATE Dreya Rolls!). And I'm doing some extra cardio on the days that just strength training is scheduled. (Trying to burn a few extra calories...maybe it's backfiring?!?)
So, do I eat more, knowing that I am moving more and sweating more? Or do I keep eating around 1800 calories and just cut out the extra cardio?
I'm going to continue with the weekly weigh-ins and add in a weekly measuring of bust, waist and hips so I have a dual tracking system of what's going on with my body.
Let's see what happens next week!
Weigh-in:
165.8 lb
lost so far:
62.2 lb
still to go:
35.8 lb
Diet followed reasonably well

In addition to my weigh-ins on Fridays, I thought I might do a little additional thing. Weekly measurements.
Today's measurements:
Bust - 37 1/2" (while wearing a tank with built-in bra)
Waist - 34 1/2"
Hips - 43 3/4"
Wow...those are some wide hips! And, even after doing an hour and a half of yoga, they are still tight, tight, tight! *ye-ouch*
So, I'll weigh in tomorrow, and try to continue with measurements weekly too. Maybe this will help me feel better if the tape numbers move down, even if the scale numbers move up!

Last night, I watched the Marx Brothers film, Duck Soup. My mind is still trying to figure out what I spent just over an hour watching. Bizarre...
Today, I have the house to myself until late. Ian's at work and then he's got band practice. Usually he goes out with the guys to the pub after, but he says he's trying to get in better shape, so he might give it a pass tonight. (I think he's been watching me workout and he might be getting nervous that the girlfriend might be stronger! *lol*) According to our bathroom scale, he's about 2-3 pounds lighter than me right now. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.
As for me, I haven't got too much planned for the day. Some weight training, some cardio, some Wii games and I still have a ton of books from the library to catch up on!

Today is grocery day. And I both look forward to and dread going grocery shopping. Mostly because the "good-for-you" things always end up being the most expensive. No wonder it was so easy for me to gain weight! No wonder it's so easy for all of us to gain!
Produce is pricey, good cuts of meat are pricey. The cheap, bulk stuff is where you can really stretch your dollar. Noodles, noodles, noodles. I'll admit, I have eaten my fair share of mac n' cheese from Kraft. At one point, I could happily finish off a whole box of the stuff all by myself.
However, I really want to get some yummy, healthy things today because I have a bunch of new recipes I want to try out. I've been sticking to my stand-bys for far too long. I want to make Slow Cooker Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. I want to try and make some tasty low-fat, low-cal desserts. I want to try cooking with something other than chicken! Maybe pork...
I've been thinking a lot about healthy foods recently. One of my good friends told my that her husband has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and high blood iron and high blood sugar. That's a lot of things that shouldn't be high. And he's a heavy guy. He's been put on meds, been told to monitor his blood sugar, to watch what he eats (no alcohol, no refined sugars, limited red meats, limited dairy) and to exercise a MINIMUM of 200 minutes a week. And he COMPLAINED! He didn't know where he was going to find the time for 200 minutes of exercise! (That's only 30 minutes a day!) He didn't like the idea of limiting red meat and dairy and sugar. And a little voice in my head was SO ANGRY! And my friend, his wife, will try her best, but she loves him so much, she'll give into him more than she thinks she will. In fact, this weekend, we all went out for an evening, and the two of them ordered cheeseburgers with fries and onion rings. And I shouldn't be bitching....I like cheeseburgers as much as the next girl, but my inner voice was all, "Wow...if I was told I had to take pills, and watch was I was eating, and keep a journal of what I was eating to show a doctor later, I might want to be more honest with myself." It upset me...and I can't really put my finger on why.
Anyway, it strengthens my resolve to be better to myself. If watching what I eat and exercising daily will keep me from getting sick, from relying on pills to regulate my body, and to just be fabulous all around, I will keep doing it. I will keep doing it!
