And WHY do I have an unearthly strong desire to EAT EVERY BIT of it in sight when I am pms'ing? GRRRRRRR. Anywya, I will share my embarrassing binge because I foun it kinda funny. Not that I was devouring chocolate, but that whileI was devouring it I was counting points....a conscious unconcious eating moment! Fun times! Anyway, I told myself that I would eat much yesterday cause today is maddie's birthday party and I know I will eat a cupcake and probably a hotdog and chips, yu know typical 2 year old birthday crap. So I did really good up until I started stuffing favor bags. My dumb went and bought candy for them, and not just regular suckers and gummy candy, noooooo...I HAD to buy my most favorite candy in the world...kit kats! And of course I couldn't just buy regular kit kats, I HAD to go and get a mix bag with regular, white and DARK CHOCOLATE kit kats! Kill me now! I could live on those things, and since they are dark chocolate I like to tell myself they are healthy! Anyway long store short, my lack of eating throughout the day backfired and while stuffing the bags I think I ate about 10 of the fun size dark chocolate kit kats. :( but SO good! Well I didn't stop there, because as mentioned in my previous post chocolate is a trigger food for me. Whn I start eating it, it opens the flood gates and yesterday was a text book example. I started with the kits kats, then found a chocolate easter basker cake hidden in a little treat jar (they come in packs of two but thankfully this one was only half there,, or else I would have eaten both). Well that was it. But Istill felt awful! I let itruin my whole day like I said I didn't anymore. I ended up eating two portions of what I had planned for dinner, which added like 400 calories/ 7 points and then while I was waiting on laundry to finish at 11 last night I ate hummus and pita chips. Man! that's how I used to eat every day! No wonder I'm a chunk! Anywya, I can type this and spill my guts about it now cause that's not the norm for me all anymore. the fact that I was so aware of it and can remember everything I ate tells me I am changing, in the past when I would go on a binge, I couldn't tell you 5 minutes later what all I ate. So even though I was bad yesterday I am proud of myself in a way! Yay me!
Today I am having maddie's party and will stick to the fruit and veggies trays and just one cupcake. I have it all entered into my plan but will still probably go over. I am packing up the rest of my stuff after the party and heading back to good ol fayetteville so I wont have time to sit down and eat any actual meals today. Then tomorrow, being mothers day and all...well my plan is just to go shopping! I am seriously a freak for New York and Company and I haev $105 in City Cash PLUS everything in the store is 40% off!!! Since I have a new job and a new-ish body to buy for...how can I resist! Shopping will keep me from eating!
I will be returning to WOW fitness classes for my workouts. For those who don't know what this is, it's an AMAZING program for women at Trinity Assembly of God in Fayetteville...FREE workout classes! And they are amazing! These ladies really get with it, no sissy workuts there! I will also be going to Bikram once a week and trying to go for walks/runs/jogs on weekends, but I'm not sure how maddie will like that since she doesn't care for her stroller! I may join a gym if I see that I need more, but that can wait a bit! I will try to keep everything else the same as far as the eating plan goes, but being in a new place and having to buy my own groceries (yeah...that was the nice part about living with my parents) may put a slight damper on that! Anyway, ready to start my new job and get back to my normal life!
Now time to go get ready for this party!!

Bagel Sandwich
This was the best breakfast I have had in a while! One mini whole grain bagel, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1/4 cup egg whites and 1 slice cheese served with 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup strawberries. Total points- 6! Also- I have decided turkey bacon is FAR superior to regular bacon and I am dead serious!
Orange-Black bean salad and fish
YUM! this was so good! And so easy! Just saute some onion and garlic in a little bit of olive oil, add some ground cumin then add black beans, red wine vinegar and fresh orange juice. Toss in some Oranges at the last minute and serve! Amazing! I served mine with some pan grilled mahi mahi. One of the best combinations of food I have ever had!
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
mmmmmm....this was awesome and I ate it for at least 4 meals!
Mexican Meatloaf
this was amazing! No clue wha tI put in it, if you want the recipe I will dig it up, it was good though!
Shrimp curry
Mmmm thai food at home!
Spinach strawberry salad with goat cheese and orange balsamic vinegrette
Yummiest salad I've ever made! baby spinach tossed with sliced strawberries, goat cheese, and pistachio nuts. Dressing is orange juice, balsamic vinegar, canola oil, salt and pepper. Very tasty and simple!
Green Monster Smoothie (and Maddie's juice)
milk, fruit and spinach, what's not to love?
Alternative
I almost broke down and got some diet pills. Instead I bought these: some fiber choice tablet things that actually taste really good, and a multi vitamin that supports metabolism. I took them both this morning and have tons of extra energy and do not feel starved! Yay!
Day one, off to a happy start....
Breakfast: 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, half banana, 1 mini whole grain bagel. Lunch: 1 cup progresso light zesty Santa fe soup. Dinner: 3 oz fillet mignon, asparagus, sweet potatoes, and french bread
Beans rice and cornbread, can't go wrong!
1/2 cup pinto beans, 1/4 cip jasmine rice and small slice of cornbread. I like to serve my food in small bowls/plates...I guess the mind trick works for me cause this looked like a ton of food!
My daily breakfast
This is a wonderful and filling breakfast. I make a fruit smoothie (1/2 cup milk with about a cup of mixed fruit, whatever I have on hand) then serve it with some egg whites mixed with whatever veggies I have on hand, and a mini whole grain bagel. the whole thing has 5 pts and I am so full that I don't even think about food till about 5 hours later.
Veggie Pizza
garlic olive oil, then pizza sauce, lots of fresh veggies and CHEESE! Just 4 pts a slice!
Baked Ziti
turkey sausage, bell pepper, onion, diced tomato, frozen peas, lots of herbs, whole grain pasta and cheese. Very easy and yummy! Filling, and there are tons of leftovers!
Day 4
Breakfast: honey nut cheerios and 1/2 cup milk Lunch: 6 piece chickennugget kids meal from Chick Fil A with fruit cup instead of fries and milk to drink Dinner: lean hamburger patty on whole grain mini bagel with tater tots. Picture is of my favorite Sonic drink... a large WATER
the filling for my greek omelet
artichoke hearts, spinach, olives, mushrooms, and tomato! Very tasty!
Made from leftovers!
beans, rice and shrimp in my baja yogurt sauce. Served with corn tortillas. Quite tasty!
Fajita Pork and Pasta
This was sooo good! I'm on a roll with these weight watchers meals! Very easy- 1 onion, 3 bell peppers (green, red and yellow) 1 zucchini a couple carrots cook till tender (seasoned with ground cumin, chili powder and garlic powder) then add some pork (seasoned with the same thing) and heat through. Toss with whole wheat pasta and you're done! I added some garlic in there somewhere too, I think with the veggies. Oh and at the end throw in a can of rotel, it kidna helps hold it all together. Yummy!
Baked Tilapia
Tonight's dinner was so good! I made baked Tilapia- just seasoned both sides of the filet with salt and pepper then covered the tops with a garlic herb blend and fresh lemon juice and broiled for about 10 minutes. Served with orange cilantro black bean salad ( one of my favorite new recipes) and rice! So good!
Day 3
Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Cheerios with 1/2 cup 2% milk, Lunch: whole grain tortilla with grilled chicken breast and veggie mixture of corn, black beans and brocolli, Dinner: roasted pork loin and apples, green beans, and french bread, snack: peaches and raspberries
Fish Tacos
this was good! I made fish stickes (tilapia with some seasoned flour and bread crumbs) then served it in corn tortillas with a yogurt sauce (plain fat free yogurt, lime juice, chipotle in adobo and salt/pepper) Made black beans and rice for a side dish
Lemon chocken with artichokes and spinach
This was better than it looks, but not much! I think if I had used the capers and fresh spinach the recipe called for it would have been better. Instead I omitted the capers cause I didn't have any and used frozen spinach. the sauce is good though- lemon zest, lemon juice, chicken broth, corn starch and sugar. Season chicken with salt pepper and dill. Mix sauce with artichoke hearts and spinach and serve over chicken. Not bad, but not as good as the rest of the recipes!
Sauted Shrimp and zucchini
Another very good recipe from WW and also very easy. Saute some zucchini in a little olive oil, add shrimp and grape tomatoes. Season with salt pepper and oregano. I served mine with angel hair pasta
Goat Cheese Souffle with fruit salad
Souffle: 3 eggs, seperated, some dill weed, salt and pepper, 1/2 tbs butter and 1-2 oz goat cheese. mix egg yold with dill weed salt and pepper, set aside. In large mixing bowl whip egg whites with electric mixer till soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes) fold in yolk mixture till combined. Poor into pie dish buttered with 1/2 tbs butter. Crumble goat cheese on top. Place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Eat! Yummy! The whole thing has about 10 points, I cut mine into 4 servings, so this is a nice light breakfast for a few people when served with a good fresh fruit salad- just 3 points!
Mediterranean Chicken
Tangy and tasty!
Chocolate is yummy! Thanks for the boost of inspiration. I am motivated by thinking of a closet full of new clothes that are several sizes smaller.Keep up the good work!
