Meme's skinny jeans journal

[Auntmeme]

Well the long weekend has set me back again I'm up another pound, yikes! I can't begin to tell you the junk I ate. I did walk 3.5 miles but that is not enough to combat my eatting. So with only 4 weeks till vacation I need to jump back. I reread the atkins book and now I'll start at induction and see what happens.

B-
1 egg w/ 2 sausage links, coffee w/ cream

onto lunch and then errands. will have to catch up on the boards later, wondering how everyone else did this holiday?????

well i'm within the 20 carb count for today and it is after 7 pm. no exercise yet but hoping to walk a little later. I must continue this for the next 2 weeks, ahhhhh

TGIF

I've made it through to friday with less than 20 carbs per day. I walked 2 miles on tuesday and need to walk again today. The difficulty will be to stick to plan for the weekend. Why are the weekends sooo hard? what is so different? could it be the relaxing attitude, enjoying family & friends which of course involves food. But isn't food to be enjoyed so how to enjoy it all and stick to plan???

Oh why couldn't I have been born one of those skinny, no weight problem, food eatting, no exercise needed women?????? genetics

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, if you figure out the answer to your genetics question, let me know! I'm built exactly like my father and have his tendency to keep weight on. Sure wish I would have gotten my mom's figure!

I hope induction is still going well. The weekends are definitely tougher for me. The weekdays have a certain routine and rhthym to them that helps me. The weekends have no routine - there's always time to hang out in the kitchen (not good for me!).

Sending you best wishes for a day!

 

[Auntmeme]

Well it's been days, oh my a whole week The weekend was a disaster- so much for induction
My computer was on the fritz so I would have been here sooner.

I've made it through this week, with a small bit of chocolate I am an addict, and of course someone gave it to me as a gift - the nerve of them I've walked a total of 5 miles so far and am heading out the door now to walk, before the rain Where oh where is my sun ?

I did get on the scale though officially I only should on Mondays, but we all know how that goes I'm down to where I was weeks ago, and need to lose 1 more to hit the 15 clippie - can I hold strong over the weekend???? that would be the ultimate question

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I'm up for a cheat-free weekend if you are!! Can we do it???? I say we can!!!

Maybe, if you're really good this weekend, you'll get that elusive 15 pound clippie on Monday!!! You know how I love to throw clippie parties!!

Have a great weekend and check in when you can.

It's cheat-free for you and me, MeMe!!!

 

[Auntmeme]

Monday has turned out great so far

friday - I walked a 5 miler in the park & it had lots of hills - ah my thighs are still feeling it, we went to my fave mexican and I had some chips & 2 margs- the real ones ( more $$) but I'm sure lower carb since there is no mix used

sat was great - made my own low carb margs - not the best but will do hung out with friends and then someone decides that we should head to the local ice cream parlor what was I to do? say NO? so I was thinking of a belgian waffle with ic but went for the pb sundae w/ pb cup ic - it was excellent and I don't regret it! but the scale sure did

sunday was right on target - the rain did not allow a walk though

today has been on plan and I'm making fish - yummy
walked 3 miles at the park and my thighs are still screaming!

no loss according to grand scale better luck next week

 

[Auntmeme]

Made it another day!
tues
b- 1 1/2 eggs w/ ham & ch, lc ket, coffee w/ cream

heading off to the free movies for kids - joy I get to watch looney tunes Can I resist the popcorn? I never can

I figured out it is onlt 10 weeks till our cruise and at this rate I won't even have lost another 10 I think I need to kick my butt into high gear, what to do?

Oh why oh why wasn't I not born 5 ft 10, long legs & blond? that way I would probably have a personal chef & trainer

 

[Auntmeme]

Made it thru tuesday now on to wednesday.

Had a few bites of popcorn at the movies. this is such a change since we always get a small or medium container with x-tra butter. since this was a kids free movie and at 10:30 am, I was still full from breakfast, bought my son the kids meal which has a small amount of popcorn. So it was a true success

Did not walk yesterday but will get out there today, waiting for ds to wake up. It needs to be first on agenda or I won't do it.

Need to go to the meat store, but the freezer is full ? I have no idea with what I'm going to try to cut out cheese for the rest of the week and see how it goes. I need a whoosh fairy

 

[Auntmeme]

Walked a little over 2 miles yesterday - ahh it was hot!

Ate OP until bf called to go have a drink. Had 1 margarita and it was a real one so I'll till count that as a cheat free day. I had some cherries in the afternnon and need to find out the carb count, going to the atkins site.

Today I def need to hit the store, nothing to eat for dinner. It's only breakfast and I'm thinking of dinner

I can't stay off the scale, terrible thing can't find my tape measure so I'm not sure how I'm doing there. I know i'm smaller but not small enough would love to lose 15 before our cruise, only 71 days, should be doable but look how long it's been for me to lose 1 and keep it off down 1 up 1 down 1 up 1 so actually I'm staying the same - this stinks.

I'm going to make a plan. I'm heading to rehoboth beach de in a week and a half. After that week's vacation I plan to stay cheat free till the cruise. I'm going to make a big sign to remind myself, and a count down calendar.
I feel better now

 

[Auntmeme]

Everything went well yesterday, no exercise but lots of errands. I was exhausted

Visited the store and stocked up on all kinds of meat & veggies- yum Visited atkins site and saved lots of recipes, hope I have time to make them, seems like it is easier to just grill a steak and steam some broccoli

Will plan to eat op and walk today & do ab work. This belly pouch has got to go

 

[Auntmeme]

Well hit the eye doc for a1 month eval and looks like I have drifted back into near sightedness He says this rarely happens, justmy luck I may have to go back for an enhancement, wish it was an enhancement on a different part of my bod

Stayed op yesterday except for the 3 little pieces of chocolate, 2 kisses & a mini How many carbs in them? wondering if I should buy lc choc to have on hand as I am an addict and nothing else fills that craving

IThere was no way to walk yesterday as the rain lets up and then pours down, where is my sun So I rented a movie and watched it as I rode my stat. bike, a whole hour and then I did some ab work. Need to desparately do abs everyday or every other need to make this a commitment. After I had my ds it has not been the same

Purchased a new bathing suit yesteday for vaca, a blue tankini w/ flower print, sooo cute. Hoping some of my shorts that did not fit now will fit, keep youir fingers crossed

 

[lulu201]

Good morning, MeMe! The sun is finally shining in Bucks County! Can you believe it? I never thought we'd see the sun!

So where did you buy this tankini? I went looking for them a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find any I like. They have to have an underwire top--which is next to impossible--so that may be why I came up empty-handed.

Just so you know, I have a new journal. I'm trying my best to get myself re-motivated and serious and I thought maybe that would help. Come visit me there! Oh, btw, I'm totally in awe of your 15 day cheat free bear; if I can stay cheat free all week maybe I'll start a bear clippie, too. You're inspiring me, MeMe.

Have a good day!
Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Well i've been away for a few days and the computer issue put me back. but I'm down 1 so that makes 15 I'll fix my clippie

I walked 1 1/2 miles 2x on sunday but nothing else so far. Hopefully weather will cooperate and I'll get in a good one tomorrow!

 

[Auntmeme]

Great day did lots of errands and managed to get in a 3 mile walk. eatting op all day had lunch at quiznos subs, first time. they have a low carb menu, had a saladw/ roast beef listed as 0 net carbs

packing tomorrow for week at rehoboth de, yippie

 

[lulu201]

15 bounces for a 15 lb. clippie!

Congrats, my friend!
Erin

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

What a great idea, Meme!

I know clothing, and how it fits (and doesn't) has always been motivational for me!

I used to have my "tight jeans" the ones I could only get into if I dropped 5 or 10 lbs from where I was. After losing 40 lbs, imagine how I felt when they were too big!

You'll get there. You can do it.

Kate

 

[Auntmeme]

Thanks Erin

And hi Kate, thanks for stopping in congrats on the loss, hopefully with 20 more I'll be in those jeans. they are now sooo out of style but when they fit I'll go buy new ones it has been a long journey so far bu that's life!

Today OP planning to walk after it cools off- busy packing for vaca- yippie

 

[Auntmeme]

Sat and heading for the beach

Did a 2.4 miles walk yesterday and stayed op. have some things to do before we leave so don't think I'll get ina walk I will try to stay op while on vaca at least for a few days and I do plan to walk on the beach.

See you in a week

 

[DoeWDW]

Fun in the sun for MeMe!!!

I hope you're having a fabulous time at Rehoboth Beach and walking lots on the beach and building sand castles with that cute little boy of yours!!

What a beautiful new clippie!!

Congrats!

 

[lulu201]

Oh, man. . .MeMe, you're at the beach????!!!! C'mon now, I was coming over here to invite you to walk with me on Friday morning. Rats. Maybe another time? Guess I'll just have to get over it.

Hope you're having a great time just the same!

Erin
