NSV Sundress!!!

Great news guys!!! Today and yesterday morning I have weighed in at my lowest YET-175.8.  I hit this same number on valentines day morning and havent seen it since :(.

Except for this weekend! Holla!

Ok so ALSO this weekend I got some new CUTE dresses at Ross.  One is for Easter, one I wore today and one is a beautiful sundress!

Right after I fit in my wedding dress for my Wedding Dress Challenge in November someone (Megan I think!) had asked me what my next non scale related goal was...and THIS was it.

To fit in a really cute sundress!!! 

When I was big shopping for a sundress was just no fun. I went with whatever fits and made me look half decent.  The majority of things I tried on dont fit or made me feel like a cased sausage. 


Poor hubby. I made him wait forever and look at every single dress that I tried on.  Him and the store dressing room lady would tell me which one looked best hahaha.

Soooo...

I tried on 8 dresses at Ross and I loved 90% of them.  The last is my goal dress and I want to show you all...

 

Is it not PRECIOUS!?

 

Ok here you go...

 

 

 

 

I LOVE IT!!!

 

I feel fantastic in this. 

 

Worth every bead of sweat on that hateful stairmaster.

 

 

And this was the new one I wore to church today.

 

I made my Mama's recipe roast and it was delicious!!

 

Sooo yummy!!!

 

Ok loves I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and a wonderful Monday!!

 

The Trouble With Smores.

Happy Friday my sweet little reader-loos!

I hope yall had a great day.

It was GORGEOUS and felt wonderful outside today!

For breakfast I managed to grab some essentials before running out the door!

Cottage cheese and cantalope/blackberries.

 

I heart me some cantalope espically when it was 99 cent on sale!

 

Holaaaaaaa.

 

Ok so finished off the cottage cheese which was good since it was expiring like, tommorow.

 

For lunch I had the brilliant idea to ride into town to get japanese.  I say brilliant because there was horrible traffic.

 

 I only ate about 2/3s of that shrimp sauce. 

I got the hibatchi and white rice, yall know i never get the fried anymore.

 

Those carrots and mushrooms were tastayyy.

 

I tried to eat a sugar free jello later that afternoon but it was kinda watery and gross so I pitched it.

 

Came home and immediatley cut up a sweet potatoe and put it in the oven to bake.

 

I made a turkey bacon BLT with sweet tater fries!

 

 

And for desert I had threeeeee servings of what you see in this picture. LOL.

 

 

Innocent right?

 

Not.

 

You see, the trouble with smores is that people think they are all cool and low calorie.

 

Little bit of marshmallow.

Little bit of chocolate.

 

Little bit of graham cracker.

 

Thats all fine as long as you eat ONE.

 

Ha.

Ok so whatever.  I had hershey kissses from valenines and i would put one on a cracker and one marshmallow on a cracker!

 

3 long sheets of expired graham crackers used=195

6 marshmallows=150 cals

1 marshmallow plopped in mouth=25 cals

6 hershey kisses=132

1 hershey kiss plopped in mouth=22 cals

 

A FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR CALORIE desert my friends.

 

NOT worth it.  I may as well had a big mac or a brownie with ice cream from chillis..Which I still didnt do that bad cosidering I was around 1200 when I ate that madness.

 

Whatever. 

At least I didnt eat the whole bag of hershey kisses.

 

Arent you glad we look at the bright side of things on this blog?

 

The glass is always half full my friends!

 

Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show and Tell

Well I cant say today was totally awesome calorie wise, BUT I did do good~!

Ok so breakfast started out good.

 oatmeal with a few rasins!  sorry guys i dont have time to post calories tonight!! :( But i figured I could at least show and tell LOL!

 

 

Before lunch I got ravenous. Not sure why..maybe didnt eat enough yesterday? Normally oatmeal fills me up.

 

 

Cottage cheese, blackberries and cantalope for a yummy filling snack!

 

Lunch was so special.

 

Same as yesterday LOL.

 

And then I got my free birthday drink from Starbys!

 

 

Venti iced coffee with caramel drizzle and toffee nut half and half and 4 splendas.

 

I really dont know how I will ever give up freakin splenda yall.

UGH.

 

Anyways it was sooo dang good!

 

For dinner we ate at Moms.

 

Corn and crab chowder from costco, light chips, deli chicken meat panini

 

we also had some roasted cabbage and popcorn and I ate half of a coconut chocolate granola thing for  75 cals.

 

Night loves!

 

A Success!!!! Take that Moes...

FINALLY thrilled to report a great day on plan, workout and all!!

I know yall just arent going to belive it. haha.

But its true! Woot woot! I tell yall the bad, yall know Im gonna tell yall the good!!

This morning I had the last bagel as I was running out the door!! With honey walnut cream cheese whipped or something of the sort.

I ate it in the car and forgot to take a pic sorry guys :(

Bagel-220 cals
Cream Cheese-35 cals (maybe more but I am just counting a tbsp)
Coffee creamer-60 cals

Then for lunch I almost got SUBWAY for lunch but I decided to get some food at Aldis.  WAYYY cheaper. I got these Aldi's brand of like hot pockets...but it was BETTER to me than hot pocket brand.  $1.89 for two is a great deal and I got a bag of baby carrots for like 69 cent and then a bag of baked bbq chips for like either 1.79 or 1.99 and had a serving of those and carrots.  I also bought some other things we needed.

 

YUMMY and I will prob have the other pocket tommorow!

 

Pepperoni pocket-270 cals

Baked BBQ chips-120 cals

Carrots-about 12 cals

 

Then I had a snack for desert.  Banana cream pie fit & active yogurt and I had some of these cookies with them but they were not that good so I ate only a couple and threw it away.

 

 

90 cals for yogurt

 

Then I went to the gym with Bestie...we did 20 minutes of the stair climber...which was PURE torture.  I thought I was going to fall off, puke and go all out biggest looser style. I mean my heart was beating out of my CHEST people and sweat was everrrrwhere.

 

I also did the bike for like at least 20 mins if not 30.  To be honest I needed a cool down becasue the stair master kicked my ever loven hiney.  Then I went home while Bestie tanned. 

 

Dinner was made while chatting with my mother on the phone (hi Mom!) and it was tuna helper!  I had one cup measured out and green beans with onions in them. 

 

 

tuna helper-250 cals

green beans- 40 cals

I think I put some brummel and brown in the green beans while cooking, but I am not counting cals for that lol.

 

Then for a desert I had a gala apple cut up and sprinkled cinnamon on it.

 

apple-60 cals

cinnamon-18 cals

 

This was such a delicous and satisifying desert yall! 

Please try it!  Also try it with Mom's Apple dip, its on the blog!

 

I was under calorie today I am soooo happy!!

Evil Moe's.

Hello there lovies!

Wow I feel like its been a super long time since I have done a blog post with pics!

Ok so today was NOT good calorie WISE. However. I still TRIED and I took pics for you.

Arent I awesome?

Not.

Anyways! Its a start. Gotta start somewhere once you have decided not to give up haha.

Breakfast...

Coffee-2 cals?

Creamer-30 cals

Cottage cheese light-80 cals for half cup

Pineapple chunks-1/4 cup for 30 cals

 

Ok breakfast was like the ONLY successful "meal" today if you call that a  meal.

 

Lunchtime rolled around and hubby had came by my work.  He is working nights this week and I was thrilled that we could go to lunch together because I figured I wouldnt see him hardly at all.  Yesterday he worked from like 6am-12:30 pm with about a 30 minute break at home between two different jobs they were on.

 

So, needless to say I was happy that we could have lunch together unexpectedly.

 

Bad part is, I picked Moes.

 

Listen...it was 60 plus degrees, sunny skies and a sweet frog was next door.  How could I not pick Moes? haha.

 

 

EVIL EVIL MOES.

 

I shall not pick you again unless I plan on eating lettuce without a side of chips.

 

OK their CHIPS, which I had never realized are 360 calories PEOPLE!!!!!

 

FOR A SIDE OF CHIPS!!!

 

Which is like barely an ounce and half the time they arent that generous.

 

So I thought I was doing good and got 2 chicken CRUNCHY tacos. Little bit of cheese, no sour cream or anything else bad. 

 

It was still 230 cals a taco!!!

 

Not a happy camper with over an 800 cal lunch.

 

For fun, I checked out hubs burrito...clocking in OVER 1,000 calories JUST the burrito!!!

 

Beware if you are going to Moes!

 

Ok so then to add insult to injury...unawares...lol I went to sweet frog to get some fro yo.

 

I had about 4 oz's and actually did good..the thin mint fro yo was only like 55 cals and I have no clue how much the toasted marshmallow was because it wasnt on my fitness pal. 

 

 

Ok so then by the grace of God, I didnt eat anything till I got home.

 

But in a state of HAUNGRY I ate two pieces of skinny cow candy for like 100 cals almost and then I made dinner.

 

 

toast-160 cal

burger-280 cal

cheese-50-60 cal?

annies mac and cheese- not sure, didnt look to be honest

sweet potatoe fries-75 cals

broccoli-35 ish cals

mayo-50 cals

pickle-5 cal?

 

Then I may or may not have eaten some reese whoppers with hubs. BADNESS.

 

I admittedly probably had two servings so 2 times like 190.

 

Maybe not quite two but CLOSE. 

 

Ah.

 

Well tommorow is another day and at least I tracked most of today and took pics that is a start LOL.

 

I hope you all had a great tuesday!

 

Night!

Struggling

Sorry I have been MIA latley guys....

honestly I have been struggling with eating right/exercising.  You know..the whole "healthy lifestyle" thing...and its definetly catching up with me on the scale unfortunatley. 

However, I am not going to let it get me down. 

I am not going to give up.

Nope.

Came too hard, ate too litte, sweated too much, and sacrificed a ton to get me where I am today. 

Today just sucked for me.  Emotionally.  And it got the better of me.

And I forgot my phone at home so no pictures.

So, basically I am not promising anything for tommorow, except that I wont give up.

I hope you all are still doing good if you are on your journey!!! I love each and every one of you so much and am so thankful to have you (if I still HAVE any readers after this long hiatus and a no picture post LOL).

But tonights plan is to get caught up on a LOT of sleep, plan my food for tommorow, and make a list of rewards for each milestone.  I may share them tommorow.  I should be back tommorow guys...its just been a rough couple days.

What do you do for motivation?

What I did ALL day

Hey loves!

OK so this morning was great.

I got up even EARLIER than I normally do on a workday...someone take my temp. For reals.

Ok so I started some of this...

And then had some of this.....

Settled down on my couch to read this...

Ate some leftover this...

Then I put on this...

And got ready to leave the house!

This is HALF spa day today because I actually returned the massage hubby got for me.  I made him tell me this price and I got mild heart palipatitions from it....plus I would love a massge but the frugal diva in me just could not deal.  Not to mention the spa is an hour from my house.  So hubby said I can just spend some money haha. I shall have no problem with THAT!

So I went to Ross, TJ maxx...Target..my faves :)

and of course no HALF spa day is complete without this...

and got me a mani/pedi that my aunt had given me for Christmas that I saved for my bday!

I also drank a lot of water out of this...

 

May or May not have left it with the mean Asian ladies at the nail salon.  I went back about 10 minutes later and they had already put it in the back...I think SOMONE wanted to take it home with them.  Naughty!

 

Then had a little of this...

 

 

And threw away most of that free birthday cookie...just not worth it.

More shopping commenced and then I went home and cleaned like a MAD woman because Bible study is at my house tommorow night. 

 

And this box was in the mail.

 

I LOVE GETTING MAIL!!

 

We just got a letter! We just got a letter! We just got a letter-wonder who its from!?

 

Hahah there is some old school blue clues for ya.

 

THIS lovely package was from sweet Sheila!!!

 

Sheila is one of my most longest loyal readers and I just love her!

 

She was so sweeeeeeeeeet to send me a birthday gift!!!

 

I totally didnt expect that!!

 

 

Beautiful cup and Cahhhute card!!  This is to encourage me to drink more water!!!

 

She is SOO thoughtful!!! I need this yall know how I love me some cups!!!!

 

I felt super special, thank  you Sheila!!!! :)

 

Then I made this one....

 

 

Some of this for dinner....

 

And we finished it off with leftover fruit tart for desert!
