Weight Loss Wednesday - week 3

I have ate like crap the past few days. Eating supper well after dark. Not eating breakfast at all. Lunch occurs after 3pm. Overall, yuck!

Week 1: 190.8
Week 2: 186.4
Week 3: 185.8

The fact that I still register a loss is amazing to me. Maybe stress and not eating as much because of the late hour...
Either way, I'm going to do better this week.

Thursday

Day 4...

No breakfast was consumed but I did grab a water bottle when I got to work {a local arts & crafts store} this morning.

Lunch was from a local hamburger place and I inhaled it before I even thought about taking a picture. My cheeseburger without onions, large fries, and large coca cola satisfied my taste buds AND hunger pains.




Earlier this summer {month..} I posted my 40 before 40 and my #9 is to run 40 miles even if a mile at a time. I have less than 30 miles to go to reach my goal and have about six months in which to do it. I think that's doable.

#38 on my 40 before 40 list was that I wanted to update this blog more regularly. I'm definitely doing that but I need to better intertwine home, work, and handmade.

#1 on my list {having a booth at the fair} isn't going to happen because 1) the deadline was the end of July. 2) this needs to have more planning involved and shouldn't be a spur of the moment whim. 3) too many steps required to complete in too short of time. I will eventually have a booth at the fair but it won't be before I'm 40.

Hen meeting...

Day three of my food journal

After cross country practice, we stopped at McDonald's again. This time, I only ordered a large sweet tea.
After running a few local errands, my daughter and I made our way to the big city to do some school clothes shopping. I even found a new pair of closed toe shoes to wear when I sub. *grin*


We were on a mission today and didn't stop to get anything for lunch and caved when we saw The Great American Cookie... I devoured my Double Doozie with M&Ms once we were back in the vehicle. Delicious but oh so bad.


On our way back home, we stopped to put fuel in the vehicle and drove thru McDonald's again. On this trip, I chose another large sweet tea and a Hot & Spicy McChicken Sandwich.
Once home and settled, I got busy sewing. It was after 10pm before I ate supper, which was a small to medium helping of chicken spaghetti leftovers.

A bit more sewing... And then I'm going to listen to my bed that's been calling my name for close to an hour.

Happy Wednesday night y'all!

Food journal day two

After cross country practice, my darling daughter requested a trip to a big fast food chain. I ordered a medium coffee with three creamers and three sugars plus an extra milk {1% milk in the kid's menu}. I only used a couple splashes of the additional milk. I like my coffee a pretty khaki/beige and sweet. This wasn't but it tasted better than plain to me. My daughter got the fruit & walnut salad and let me eat the sugared walnuts before she threw them away.
Completely forgot about eating until a little after 4pm when I ate another piece of the lemon poppyseed muffin cake. Similar size -- just a centimeter smaller.


We had chicken spaghetti for supper tonight. That's my bowl {above} and you can see the extra flavor I added. I drank ice water with my meal and throughout the day.

Food journal day one

Sonic Route 44 Chocolate Coke and a large tater tots were *just* ordered. <~ my breakfast today on the one day a month I work in a super awesome boutique in a nearby town. Spent $4.63
This probably wasn't the smartest day to start this task but there is no time like the present.
I didn't eat lunch and supper was spaghetti {pictured}.




And because I've been craving cake for nearly a month, I asked my lovely teenage daughter to make the lemon poppyseed muffin mix that we had in the pantry in a cake pan.




It was a most delicious snack before bed.
I'm not encouraging anyone to eat like I do and I know that I didn't eat well today but this is my honest food intake. Btw, I drank ice water with my supper and snack.
