Weigh In - 217

We were at the shore for the weekend. I had some pizza on saturday, quite a few alcoholic drink mixes, and a couple slip ups on sunday too. Our weekend shore trips are coming to an end and I did not feel bad about my cheats. I enjoyed myself.

This week was our second checkin for the ONDERland by Christmas Challenge. I started the challenge at 219 so I am at least moving in the right direction.
Challenge Stats for me - 219/217/199

On monday I had decided to try a semi-fast. I had the protein shakes, vitamins and fluids. It actually felt good to have an entire day that I didn't have to think about what I was going to eat. Amazingly I wasn't really hungry until towards evening but my cup of hot herbal tea satisfied me. I think I might continue to do this one or two days a week. I even managed to prepare lunch for my DH and dinner for my family and sat with them at the table while they ate. And I dropped 3 pounds as a bonus!

Hi Jody!! I just wanted to check in with you! You and that scale are still battling it out, I see. Your menus look pretty good - maybe you're due for a visit from the whoosh fairy soon???

The weather is lovely, so don't forget to go outside and move a bit. That always helps move my scale!

Jody, {{ hugs }} to you, sweetie!! I know you're having a tough time right now, but I hope you won't give up on your journal. This is such a great place to pour out your frustrations and to think out loud, so to speak. You may want to have these notes to look back on later.

I'm sending { hugs } and good thoughts your way, Jody! I'm here for you whenever you're ready to come back.

I'll be heading out to the shore this afternoon but will be back posting again on monday. On Monday I will be joining the WISH KISS challenge. KISSing stands for 'Keep it simple sweetie'. Basically I will be eating eggs, non processed meats, and low carb veggies, small amount of fats, sugar free spices, water, decaf tea & decaf coffee. NO dairy, NO processed meats, NO artificial sweetners, etc. You can read the KISS details HERE. . This will be a 2 week challenge that a few WISHers will be following. Hopefully it will give me the jump start that I need.

Weigh In today - 215

10:45am - Omelet w/2 eggs, onion & zuchinni [very YUM]!

2:00pm - apx 5oz of ground beef fried with onions, green & red peppers, & 1/2 of a plum tomatoe.

5:30pm - Bowl of Creamy Broccoli/Cauliflower soup YUM!

I cooked one 16z bag of cauliflower in beef broth until the cauliflower was very soft. Put the cooked cauliflower in a blender and puree until smooth. Add some of the beef broth to get it to the consistancy that you like your soup. Cook a second 16oz bag of veggies [I used broccoli/cauliflower mix] until tender. Drain and pour the puree mixture over the cooked veggie pieces. Season as you choose --- I used some butter, crazy salt and freshly ground pepper. Very Tasty! For a non-KISS meal I would have pureed w/cream cheese and/or topped with some shredded cheddar when serving.
