My Downfall

I always start my morning strong. When I started with WW, my breakfast would consist of 3 egg whites, a dash of cheese, a slice of bacon and a pair of toast with butter (regular bread). Now I wake up and make an egg white with a tsp of mild cheddar cheese (reduced fat), a slice of deli ham, 2 tsp of peanut butter and a whole wheat potato bread (Wegman's did not have the loaf so I am eating the roll).

It has been this way from the beginning. I am even good with my lunch choices which is bring in WW Smart Ones at work instead of buying from the Cafeteria or Mcdonalds. But as soon as I get home, my downfall begins. It is the ready made Filipino food I buy on the weekends for my son’s dinner. I do this to give me time to head to the gym and workout. But seeing it and not eating is very very difficult. Now I am thinking probably I should stop buying the unhealthy food for my son and introduce him to a healthy choices in food.

I am no cook nor do I have any creativity in me so making something up would be very difficult. Solution is needed to avoid this plateau! This weekend, instead of my usual ran to the Filipino store I will go to the Korean market and buy a bunch of shrimp and fish which will be my son and my dinner. My fiancé is really easy to feed. It is either grilled steak or chicken.

We will see. I will keep everyone posted.

Weight In #17

It has really been a struggle this past few weeks. I blame it on my lack of self control and not focusing on what I wanted to do. The weight will not shed unless I do something about it. I work out at least 4 times a week. But I believe on certain days (mostly weekends) I eat more than what I burn. This week I will do my best to focus. Instead of sitting in the living room watching my never ending NCIS. I will go to the gym and do a 30 minute cross ramp or attempt to go to a cycling class. The good part so far is I have lost an inch. So its not that bad at all right?!

A new week to look forward too and hopefuly I lose what I want to lose. Keep your fingers cross for me.

Start Weight: 185lbs

Prior Week : 172.5lbs

This Week : 172lbs

Goal : 150lbs

Memorial Weekend has passed so whats next

I have been blabbing about joining a program to lose weight and I guess it is about time to keep you posted on my progress. Unfortunately, it was not as easy as I anticipated it to be. I joined this diet program back in February and was really not doing it seriously. Mother Biik and Reezentot was not really helping the situation by making oh so delicious meals. Please try to understand that I was not making excuses. Not only was I trying to lose weight but was conditioning myself in stopping my bad habit which was smoking a pack of cigs a day. My biikness (biik is tagalog word for piglet) is not getting any younger. I just turned 34 and would love to think HEALTHY.

Well fine I am old but do you know that 30ish is the new 20'S. I am not wishful I promise ;o)

So anyway, here is my chart progress report :




It has been a struggle if you can see. This past few weeks seems a plateau but I have lost an inch. I am wondering if I gained muscle or what. Anyway, wish me luck.
