One month, it's been one month since we closed on our first house and I'm been busy getting ideas to make it a home and trying to lose 50 pounds in 4-5 months. I will post more about the house later today and probably on my regular blog since it doesn't fit my 'theme' here. I weighed myself this morning which I've been trying so hard to avoid, but it was okay. It said I've lost 5 pounds! Which isn't bad for 2 weeks and a pretty typical number. I worked out last night doing some Biggest Loser on the kinect (man is that fun!) Not so fun to realize you are so out of shape you couldn't even get through 20 minutes of it without stopping. That's okay though, one step at a time. I worked over tonight and had to stop at my old neighbors for a quick visit so by the time I got home I was famished. I made some chicken in a skillet with garlic/dill seasoning and added tomatoes (an actual roma tomato that I cut up!) It's a big deal because I usually only stick to diced tomatoes from a can, there's less meat that way. I also added some onions to the chicken and eventually pasta sauce and some penne (not whole anything, shame...shame..) mostly because it's quicker to cook then the whole grain. It was an okay meal. I added parmesan cheese, feta, and cheddar because it just seemed bland. Oh well, that would be why I follow recipes. I was so hungry I had two bowls too. Again, shame shame. I keep trying to watch my portions and all I end up doing is watching them go into my mouth! My major success is keeping up with it and not feeling defeated though.
I am going out to eat tomorrow with A and N from work for a nice bitch fest. Work has been so crazy busy that I want to pull my hair out. I just need time, more time! I would take the option of working a few 10 hour days because at least I'd feel like I had something to show for the hours in my workday. I am going to feed my body and not my emotions tomorrow though, that is my goal for Friday.
