After two weeks of random weather here in Texas, my hopes is that I can finally get back on track with my diet and weight loss.
I have to admit, being stuck inside because it was snowing outside was not as easy as it would seem. You know how I feel, when your cold you want to eat warm baked things or yummy calorie and carb- filled soups. The first week of February was much worse than the one day off last week. I found myself standing at the pantry door looking at everything inside over and over. Glancing at the pasta,which I haven't touched since November, and wondering how yummy it would be covered in Alfredo sauce. (Not that I actually had the stuff to make Alfredo, but it was tempting.) We were stuck inside for 5 days that week. My slight stock up if diet friendly items went very quickly and before I knew it, I was wanting to make rice crispy treats. I'll be honest, they were delicious. I was careful to have any other starches that day, but I did eat four or five delectable marshmallowey squares. I ended that painful week, up 2 lbs (that's what I get for making those damn Special K rice crispy treats...but it may have been worth it :) )
After careful placement of diet friendly appetizers at the Super Bowl Party that Sunday, I was ready to get back to losing weight last week. I did okay, I lost 1.4 pounds last week. I am sadly blaming that on the snow day in which I decided to make french toast for myself... I tried with out the syrup and that lasted all of 2 minutes. ( I was using 40 calorie bread and egg beaters...so it wasn't that bad)
With the first two weeks of February such a let down, I really need to step it up to get back to losing. I am down a little over 20 lbs and (in keeping my spirits up)I am also down 10.25 inches all over. So there is success in this little weight loss game, but not enough so far this month. I would like to enter March ( month 5 )at least 30lbs down. Someone hand me a stalk of celery!
