FiberOne Oats & Chocolate Bar

I was really busy today getting ready for this next reunion so I kinda forgot to grab myself something to eat.  Before we left, I decided I need to grab one of these to have at least something in my system.

Weekly Weigh-In

Weighing in today @:  154 lbs.

Weight loss for the week:  1.5 lbs. Yay!!

Total Weight Loss:  9 lbs.

Let get excited!!!  I know I am!  Haha.  Just in time for another family reunion this week.  However, I think I still might be okay.  I'm going to try to keep track of calories as best I can and stay active to counter any deliciously sinful foods that come my way.  Having said that, don't be surprised if you see some cheating action going down.  It's a family reunion and I've got the rest of the summer to loose weight.

Renunion Continued....

It's official.  Reunions make me slack.  Haha.  Or at least this one did.

Yesterday was kind of a weird day.  I slept in pretty late (which is a rarity) so I didn't eat breakfast.  Then, we went to church which starts at 12:30 so we didn't end up eating until like 4:00 or something.  (*We LDS folk have church for three hours so we didn't get out until 3:30.  I'm surprised my tummy didn't explode.)
We had leftovers from the day before, but there wasn't much left.  
I only ate about 1/3 of the meat.  It was cold and smoked and I'm just not a big fan of smoked foods.  I did however, go back for more of that Blueberry (at least I think it was) jello.  Haha.  My niece and nephew were handing out the orange juice like crazy so I took it to be nice and had a few sips, but dumped out the rest.  Not really my favorite.

Instead, I had a few cookies to help my hunger pains.

Surprisingly, I wasn't as hungry as I thought I would be.  Oh well.

Justesen Family Reunion

What was I thinking that I could count calories during my family reunion?  Have I lost my mind.  Must have.

To kind of sum up what I had yesterday:
Here's lunch/dinner (we got started pretty late).

I confess to a small handful of this:

Robbins Cookie:

2 Snickerdoodles:

Have you ever had Cornflake Candy?  I don't know if my Grandma came up with it or if she got it from someone else, but it is sooooooooooooooooo good!  I had like 6 of these things.

To make up for it though I burned some calories holding this guy.
(Don't be fooled my his adorable facade.  Underneath lies a teething baby.  Okay, he's still pretty stinkin' cute!)

I also did some chasing after my nephew since I'm the crazy aunt who does stuff like that.  :)  
All-in-all, I'd say that I definitely over did it with the sweets, but I don't feel too horrible considering the occasion.

Candy

Pretzel M&Ms (not impressed) and a snack sized Butterfinger

Honey Chicken Kabobs

W/ Multigrain tortillas and cantaloupe.

Homemade Ice Cream Sandwhich

This one has 1/4 cup ice cream.  Most of the others have only an 1/8 cup.  I was running around and was so busy I never ended up eating lunch.  Whoops!  Even though this didn't make up for the nutrients, it was still a welcome cold.  So HOT today.

My Daily Plate

I've been meaning to post about this for awhile, but wanted to get all the screen shots for it.

Not wanting to take up too much room on this blog, as well as hoping more people will see it on my regular blog, I posted it there.

Here's the link: http://su.pr/205cH8

Hope you enjoy!  It's really helped me contain my portion sizes and know what I'm getting myself into when I eat something.

Weekly Weigh-In

Weighing in today @:  155.5 lbs.

Weight loss for the week:  + .5 lbs.
That means I gained back the only .5 lbs. that I lost the week before.
Total Weight Loss:  7.5 lbs.

I was pretty frustrated with this, but then I realized my mistake.  When I entered the recipe for Robbins Pizza Crust, I assigned too many servings.  Last night I noticed my error and when I went back to correct it, I found that I had actually gone over my limit three times this week.  Working out definitely would have saved me more, but AF was making me feel a little less than excited about that.  Oh well.  At least now I've found my mistake and can rectify it and move forward.

Red Lobster

My good friend, Tiffany was in town and took us out to dinner.  I was a doo-doo head and forgot my camera.  Luckily, I used Ty's phone.  Unluckily, after I put the messages in que to go to my e-mail, I deleted them from his phone, thinking he wouldn't want to have them.  They never sent and I was stuck with only one picture.  So, except for the cheese roll, the other pictures are from google searching.

A utterly divine cheese roll (I could eat this for the rest of my life and die a happy woman....fat, but happy.), ceasar salad (2/3 of the salad), Maple-Glazed Chicken on a wild rice pilaf (only had half of this), and french fries (just pretend that potato is really sliced up strings) with ketchup.
913.4 Calories.....Stupid Ceasar.
