Skipped over 225

It's my official Tuesday weigh in day, and boy what a surprise I got! I skipped the 225 mark entirely, and went directly to 224 by losing 2 pounds! How exciting is that??

I was telling my BF the other day that this is like a video game, a roleplaying video game, like Final Fantasy. I get positive reinforcement for doing the right thing, I "gain levels" or rather... Lose Levels! lol .. As long as I keep playing the game.

If you're curious about what I've been eating, here's a list of what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: 1 S.F. rice pudding cup
Snack: water.... lol - it's true! I was getting hungry so I drank water.
Lunch: a few bites of General Tso's chicken
Snack: 2"x2" piece of cake, with filling on it, and some frosting
Snack: 2 tbsp. tropical crab salad, minus some of the pineapple.
Dinner: 3/4 in. slice of giant hoagie sandwich, and 1 chip


Mind you, I don't normally eat cake. That was my leftover piece from the other day when we were watching movies. There's still some of that same piece in the fridge. And I overestimated about how much I ate of it. The rest though, is pretty accurate. Especially the breakfast. That sugar free pudding is what I have almost every morning, because my band is especially tight in the morning.

I discovered recently some foods that I cannot eat:

• Carrots. Cooked or otherwise, doesn't matter. They stick.
• Cooked Celery. Not sure about raw, haven't tried much.
• Overcooked pork chops.

On the exercise front, I did another day of the Couch to 5k program yesterday, well, actually the same day. heh. I redid Day 1 again. I'm still unable to complete all the run segments. I did 6 out of 9 yesterday. My legs were killing me. They hurt for like 2 hours afterward. Oddly, I'm not really sore today. o_O Weird.



Current weight: 224lbs.

Good weekend...

There was a going away party on Friday night. Went to my brother-in-law's house and said goodbye to Angel. She's going into the military. Played pool, drank 2 TGIF's Pina Colada's, the first one another shot or two of Coconut Malibu Rum was added. The second one didn't get anything extra. I also had a butter baby shot. Overall it was a good night. I got really drunk, and flirted with people. That was fun. :)

Saturday we went jogging, and I repeated day 1 of the Couch to 5k, later we watched Harry Potter 4, as we wanted to watch them all before going to see the new one on Tuesday. While watching the movie I ate some more of my leftover birthday cake, and a few bits of popcorn. I also did 3 sets of ten situps on this day too. After the jog.

Sunday I weighed myself and I was up .4 lbs. Not enough to be really concerned about though.

This morning I weight myself, and I'd lost the .4 and then some. I was down to 226 lbs!! I can't wait till tomorrow! I'm hoping to see 225. That will be awesome. I'm doing really well!

Later today, about 10:30 I'll be going jogging again. Gonna repeat the first day of couch to 5k, again. Because I still can't do all the run segments. When we did it on Saturday, I was able to kick out 6 sets, without my asthma meds!! Yay! And of course, I did walk the remaining time, so I wasn't just skipping out on the whole thing, just the running part. Wish me luck that I'll be able to kick out 7-8 of the 9 segments today. If I can do that, it'll be the last day I repeat day one, and I'll move on to day 2 on Wednesday.


Current weight: 226lbs.

Cake is not conducive to weight loss.

I was hoping to be 228 lbs by today, but alas, yesterday was my birthday, and well... cake is not conducive to weight loss. I ate a whole normal slice and a scoop of ice cream. lol ... I had to force it down with water so I could finish it. Bad bad Angi. But in my defense, it was exactly the cake I wanted. It was soooo yummy.

The bad phase is over now, and I'm back to being good again. It's not like I even ate all that much yesterday anyway. I had a s.f. pudding for breakfast, half a cup of homemade soup for lunch, 2-3 pork rinds for a snack, the cake, and then about a tablespoon of BBQ beef and melted cheese for dinner. The cake couldn't have been that bad if that's all I ate. Really.

Of course, it could just be that I stalled out for a day. That often happens around this time of the week. I'm sure it'll drop back in a day or two. I'm going for a run today, well, a run/walk, to kick myself back into gear. I'm starting the couch to 5k today at lunch. That outta be fun. eh?
