Serving sizes

I read an excellent article on serving sizes. If you've been dieting for any length of time, you are on the lookout for this, but the extent of it is amazing!

Week Nine

My weight popped back up to 180 this week. I've had a head cold, so my eating and exercise haven't been as strict as usual. I'm taking a beach vacation in three weeks, and really want to hit 175 before I go. (Just so I can be back at 180 again when I get home!)

BTW, I also noticed I was a little over optimistic with my weight loss last week. My starting weight was 188.2 NOT 188.8, so I was actually at 9.8 lbs lost, NOT 10.4...Okay, so next week, I'm REALLY going to hit that 10 lb mark. Really! Seriously...

188.2/180/165

Week Eight

I finally broke through the 180 lb mark. 178.4 this week. This put me past the 10 lbs lost, too! I'm officially down 10.4 lbs since Christmas. Less than 14 lbs to go!

I took my granddaughters to 'Mickey D's' yesterday. They have re-engineered their kids meals. They offer a 1 oz fry plus apples with them now. So, if you are dieting, go for the kids meal. With a hamburger, the total calories are 365.

188.8/178.4/165

Yeah, Yeah.. I know I'm behind on posting this blog...

It was one of those days where I woke up and found myself slamming my head against the bed. My husband idea on how for me to lose weight is contrary to my body reality. He doesn't get it.

He has taken up sprinkling cinnamon on everything. I have to admit his blood sugar tests are way better than they were so I'lll give him an atta boy. He is so proud his weight just fell off. It apparently landed on me.

So I was discourage. I started eating hamburgers. The way this fast food used to make them when I was young. I crept to the scales this morning.. The pounds fell off. Maybe they are back on my husband. You better believe I'm buying more chilli, hamburger, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions

Week Seven

You know, I was hesitant to post this week, because my weight is up to 182.8, my calories and exercise were not bad, but I really think I am inadvertently sabotaging myself whenever I get close to 180. Hopefully, this will be the week to break through that wall. I'm still out here.

Evil is:

Seeing that 20 inch waistline news story on my monitor... Go away all ready.

Week Six

I did well this past week. I lost 1.2 lbs. I am down to 180.6. Unfortunately, I am also getting tired of dieting and working out. Kind of pathetic, only six weeks in.

Over the weekend, I caved in to pizza. You will notice in my previous posts, I talk about all the yummy foods I can eat and still lose weight. Waffles, chocolate, even fried chicken. But I never mentioned pizza.

Pizza is evil. One slice of pizza can have 400 or more calories. (and who eats one slice of pizza?!) In fact, if I am eating pizza, I really want breadsticks with it, too, and garlic butter with the breadsticks... It's a lucky thing I don't happen to like beer, or I'd be drinking that with the pizza and breadsticks!

So, I fell off the dieting wagon. But I am back up on it today, now that the pizza is gone. I'm hitting the 'reset' button and going for another six weeks!
