If I make it, I will eat it.

I made philly cheesesteaks for me and the man. I made it and I ate it.

I suck.

The end.

I am trying to stick to the healthy diet but I am finding it very restrictive. I eat chicken in some form every night. Lunch was catered in today but I think I did pretty good. I had a wrap and baked chips and a diet soda. My hubby and I haven't eaten out any this week and that is a feat for us (LOL).

Second Weigh In!

So I just weighed in and it is 320. I gained 1/2 a lb. I believe that though. I blame it on the curse of the McRib and the mutiny of the hubby against plain baked chicken every night. I will get back on the wagon guys!! Starting today!!! I will not get discouraged... I will prevail.

The Curse of the McRib

I caved.. the commercials got to me!!! I couldn't take it anymore...

I had to have the riby, oniony, bbqy goodness... and then I had to have the fries to accompany it.. and a Dr. Pepper.. and then the second one was only a dollar.. so I had to have it for lunch the next day....

and it was SO GOOD... I'm going to pretend it never happened... and this message will self destruct in 3...2...1

Tuesday update

I have found that I cannot absolutely cannot diet on the weekends. So I have decided to just eat in moderation on those days. Which is actually just Saturday night and Sunday.

Sunday we ate Chinese food for lunch. I had some chicken and a very small portion of Fried Rice. I know it wasn't good for me but I am the kind of person that if I don't eat what I am craving so bad that I will continue to graze forever. So I indulged in Chinese food but I didn't eat anything else until after church at dinner time.

Well, for dinner we had mexican food... i know, i know so bad!!!!! I had way too much Mexican food but I am just going to pull myself up and keep on going. Everyday is a new day!! I find it easiest for me to think of calories kinda like the bank. Everyday I get 2000 calories deposited into my account. If I don't use them all no big deal but I lose them BUT if I go over then it doesn't matter because I get a whole new set of calories the next day. Does that make sense?

Well I was back on my diet yesterday and did pretty well! I had my egg and toast for breakfast. PB and J on wheat for lunch and chicken and veggies for supper with yogurt and fruit mixed all in there.

My First Weigh In!!

I just weighed in for this week (I have to do it at work because I refuse to get a scale at home, when I had one at home I weighed every few minutes). I weighed in a 319.5 that is 5 1/2 lbs I lost this week!!! YAY!!! I am so excited and it makes it all worth it!!! I know I probably won't lose this much every week but it is a great start!
