ONEderland is getting closer!

Woo hoo! I'm almost into the single digits until I hit ONEderland! Before I get there I will have to reach my 10% at 205. I'm excited to get my keychain!

I'm working hard at remotivating myself each day.

Eggland's Best and EmilyBites

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and emilybites just blogged about Eggland's Best donating $ towards Susan G. Komen for the Cure and supporting her to host an awareness brunch for some family and friends. I think this is amazing on their part, but the food related awesomeness is that emilybites cooks WW friendly food! I've loved everything that I've tried from her site so far!

Treat Tuesday Week 3

I'm not really original. For treat tuesday I'd hoped to have a chocolate bar with dinner but I didn't buy any. *sad face*

Instead I had my normal whistle dogs, mac and cheese with chips and 2 sodas. Total: 28 PP

15lbs

What weighs 15lbs?

1. 10 doz. large eggs
2. 2 gallons of water
3. a pair of D-cup breasts weighs between 15-23 pounds (apparently lol the things you find online) 
4. 48 rolls of pennies

and just because I'm at 16.6 now:

16lbs = a sperm whale's brain

It's not a race...

... it's a marathon...

I've been searching online for items that weigh Xlbs and I find SOOO many pages asking how to lose 15lbs in a month. It's not HEALTHY to try lose that much weight.

Thinking to myself right now, I can say honestly I've lost 16.6lbs in 6 weeks. But I didn't try and starve myself to be able to do it. Someone did the caloric math on losing 15lbs in a month and to do that you'd have to burn 1700ish more calories or take in 1700 less every day. That would mean only eating about 300 calories a day. That's definitely unhealthy.

I don't understand why people do it the easy way and think they're cured. I'm living proof that you're not cured once you lose some weight. My weight watchers leader said she did that twice I think before she realized that she wasn't.

Weight Watchers isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. Don't expect it to work for you if you think of it as a diet and don't expect it to work if you're not motivated. It takes being remotivated every day.

Food Review: WW Popped BBQ Chips

I just bought some of the Weight Watchers BBQ Popped Chips at my meeting last night. They are so good. They remind me of Pop Chips that we can find at costco but they're better even. They are heavier than Pop Chips and the BBQ tastes like the BBQ Crispers.

MMMMMM!

One month

I've been on weight watchers for just over a month now. I feel good, I've lost 13.4 lbs in a month. I wish this had made noticeable changes in certain ways so that we could be trying for a baby, but so be it. I'm still very happy when I'm not thinking about the baby situation =P

These are the things I like:

• feeling great at the scale when I lose more than I thought
• eating healthy
• feeling happier
• treats like candy/chocolate/chips, really are treats, not every day occurrences
• getting excited about new low point items I find
• being so picky that fancy holiday dinners just don't appeal and it's like a regular week for me :) see Thanksgiving
• being motivated

These are the things I don't like:

• Canada has a terrible selection of low fat good for you versions of classics like pillsbury dough, hot dogs, frozen dinners, ketchup, etc.
• being so picky that new veggies and stuff don't appeal to me
• time moves too slowly. Why isn't it Tuesday every day?

Recipe: Lemon-Lime Cupcakes

I got this recipe from emilybites and it's AMAZING!

Ingredients:
1 (18.25 oz) box of yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Super Moist)
1 can of diet lemon-lime soda (I meant to use Sprite Zero)
2 egg whites
1 lemon
1 lime
8 oz Neufchatel cheese (also labeled 1/3 less fat cream cheese) - do not substitute fat free
1 c powdered sugar (I used 1/2 c splenda, 1/2 c powdered sugar)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven per directions on cake mix box.
2. Line cupcake pan(s) with 24 cupcake liners or use cooking spray to lightly coat 24 spots
3. Zest both the lemon and lime and set zest aside. Cut both fruits in half. Using a reamer, or by hand, ream/squeeze the juice from half a lemon and half a lime into a large bowl. Set the other halves aside.
4. In the large bowl with the lemon & lime juice, add the cake mix, soda, egg whites and half of the lemon and lime zest. Beat together with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Pour mixture evenly into cupcake spaces, filling each about 2/3 full.
5. Bake according to directions on cake mix box. Let cool completely before frosting.
6. In a separate bowl, squeeze or ream the juice from the remaining lemon and lime halves* and add the remaining zest, the Neufchatel cheese and the sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and then use to frost the cupcakes.

Yields 24 servings. WW P+: 3 per serving; 126 calories per serving.

New habits

I haven't gotten rid of all my old habits, of course, but I definitely have gotten rid of some. I still struggle on my days off to eat healthily (including the weekends).

BUT... When making my lunch, I look for turkey pepperoni, sugar free jello, yogurt, fruit, etc. and NOT for leftovers. When making breakfast, well, I usually gravitate towards egg whites. When shopping, I immediately look for low fat/sugar free/fat free stuff. I look at the old things I liked but I don't even consider buying them.

I think next time I go shopping I will buy a boxed cake mix and try the diet soda + cake mix tricks.

Treat Tuesday Week 1

I hereby am instituting TREAT TUESDAY! This is the night after our WI where we will eat what we want to eat. We can use all the points left in our weeklies if we so desire.

Treat Tuesday #1: High fibre mac and cheese, whistle dogs, au gratin chips and pretzel M&Ms. Total points: 41

Mindless Munching

I'm sure Mindless Munching affects all of us at some point. Movie theatres are bad for mindless munching as well as watching movies with family and maybe even eating in front of the TV.

My husband is a TERRRRIBLE mindless muncher. I've had chips on my desk in the past (like a whole bag) and I came home after working and the bag is empty. It's there, it's within reach and he eats it while he's bored. This was all in between our two WW goes. I haven't noticed it recently, thankfully, because I get protective of my food and I will eat more and faster to ensure that I get what I want.

Mindless munching can work FOR me in some situations. For example, I have two big BOXES of Zotz sitting right beside my desk. I've even separated some of the rows into individual candies and still they sit at my desk, beside my desk, or ON my desk and I forget about them. Therefore, I have no mind and I'm not munching! If I open chips or candies, I eat them. If they're closed up, I forget about them :)

Dinner time is bad and good in this sense. We tend to eat at our computers. We get dinner ready and sit down and I get into something on my computer and forget about the fact that I have food sitting there.

• THE GOOD: I eat it slowly and sporadically and therefore know better than ever when I am full.
• THE BAD: Hubby gets home late and therefore if I eat slowly and forget about my food, it's cold AND it's close to 7:30 when I finish eating.

ONEderland is still distant

I've still got 17ish lbs to go before I get back to ONEderland. It's still a dream, but not as far off as it used to be :) I'm so excited. I'll finally be closer to that point where I won't be embarrassed to tell people what I weigh and where I started :)

Right now, I'm at the starting weight of my first go at Weight Watchers. Phooey. I wish so badly that I hadn't quit.

Limiting myself

I've decided I'm going to limit myself, starting on Tuesday, to 2 cans of diet soda per week. I do decently well during the week but then come the weekend, I drink 2 or 3 in one day, putting myself over the 1 can per day previous goal of mine.

My two cans of soda will either be drank on friday at pizza night, or else throughout the week and then I will have water with pizza. I want to make good choices.

Anyone else find something they love getting out of control?

Totally pigged out on pizza... but I'm allowed to :)

Good choices

I made good choices today. They had cookies, muffins and juice out at recess at work today and they brought in a catered lunch and I didn't touch any of it. I walked past someone in the hall and was talking to me. I said I wasn't having any of the catered snack. She went "oh, you can't have any." I told her I could if I wanted but I really wanted pumpkin pie on Sunday instead.

The other good choice I made was taking SmartPop popcorn in my purse to the movies instead of eating movie theater popcorn. Our ticket comes with 2 med. drinks and 1 med. popcorn and we got the drinks but I decided to eat SmartPop to stay closer in my points.

Can you guess where I went tonight? :)

10lbs

So far, I've lost 10lbs. I wanted a picture of something that weighs 10 pounds and I could only find money, or dumbbells :(

This is the best I can do :)

My dog Elvis weighs about 10lbs. Also weighing in around 10lbs are:

• 10lb sack of potatos
• big newborn baby
• 10lb dumbbell

If only I actually HAD the baby that I just lost haha!

Also, when I was googling, I found this:

Her name is Alyssa, my name is Allyssa. She lost 10lbs, I lost 10lbs. She's writing a blog, I'm writing a blog. Awesome!

Wii Games

I just bought Just Dance 2 for my Wii today and I was playing up a storm. I've got a goal of 7000 sweat points this week and 1000 sweat points per day. I played my 1000 SP out and 10 mins-ish had gone by. Then I started dancing to some songs and BAM 40 mins had gone by. There's almost an hour dancing on my Wii :) Exercise has never been so fun!

I also bought EA Active 2 a while back when it was on sale. I played it over the last three days. It's pretty cool and with the workout routines it gives you, I want to go back for the achievement each day :)

Wii fit is of course good too but I'm mostly bored of all the games there so I'll likely just be on weighing myself each Tuesday to meet my goals on there.

I've also got Biggest Loser, DDR HP, and DDR HP2 for my Wii.

I've got a whole new list of Wii games I want now!!!
