My Journey- Good and Bad!

Michael came home and weighed on them.. they were off for him too, but when we put Bai on there his was right.. must just mess up on the higher numbers. So we took them back, I hadnt had them that long. When I got on the new scales tonight I weighed what I did this morning, so Im excited to see what I weigh in the morning.

Breakfast-1 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch, 1 cup Raisin Bran, 1 cup 2% milk

Lunch- Apple, Lean Pocket, WW yogurt.

Dinner- Tendergrill Chicken Sand from BK, no sauce, ketchup, mustard, onion, tomato, lettuce, pickle. Apple.

Snack- Pineapples.

5 miles on exercise bike 16-22 mph in 20 minutes. -377 calories.

Today has been such a busy day. Shew Im pooped. I didnt get in bed til 2:30 this morning then was up at 7:15 with Bai and stayed up. I didnt end up going back to bed.

Once up I started cleaning the house. I worked in every single room, then went out and cleaned out the truck and vaccumed it out. Around 2 I took a shower and gave Dalton a bath. We picked Bai up from school, picked up Michaels check, went to the library to return some books and looked for biggest loser books but they didnt have any. After that we got gas and Michael stopped at the pet store. Bai wants a turtle! UGH! Bai and Dalton both really needed a hair cut but by the time we got to the barber shop it was closed. They arent suppose to close til 5 but had the closed sign up at 4:30. So we went on down to the next town over and tried to shop a little. I really needed some clothes. My bras were getting holes in them and so loose. The girls were down around my waist. lol. kidding. They arent that big. My panties were so baggy it looked like I was carrying a load, my jeans looked the same way. My shirts are all getting loose (but not as much as the rest) and they are worn out. I hate spending a penny on myself. I always see things we need around the house, the things the kids need, or Michael needs, even things the kids want. I really couldnt afford to buy anything new, but I was in rags. (maybe not rags, but old, faded, dingy, clothes).

We went to JcPenny first. Lord the boys were soooooo wild. I was ready to cry, cuss, or scream when we got out of there. I hate stores that dont have buggies. I got a new pair of running shoes (nike), and a pair of jeans there. I stopped by Cato and Fashion Bug, but I couldnt find anything that suited me. We went to Walmart to get groceries and I ended up getting a few more things there. Panties, Bras, Socks, 3 shirts.

When I started this journey I was in a 26 jeans. Today I bought 22s that were big on me. I tried on the 20s and they fit; but I dont like anything the least big snug on me. I got the 22s. Ill have to wear a belt with them before long though. I went down a size in panties and I still got the same size bra, but instead of snapping it on the last setting (of 4) I could snap it on the first set. I still got a 3x in shirts. Like I said, I cant do snug. Im just not a snug fitting person. When I started this I was in a tight 3x shirt. Just knowing that I couldnt find a shirt big enough to fit me at Walmart was enough to push me over the edge. So today I picked up 3x shirts, and they are loose, but thats the way I like them. I could have wore a 2x but I wouldnt have felt comfortable in them just yet.

I went around the whole time I was shopping pulling up my shorts. They would not stay on me. They are 24 W. They seriously are so loose. When I put on the 20s Michael was like WOW those look great. I originally tried on a 24, they were too big, a 22 was loose, and I went back a 3rd time and got a 2o. A good friend of ours was working and asked if I was shopping for myself. I said yeah, just have to keep coming back for smaller sizes. Now thats a good feeling!

We didnt get to do the grocery shopping. The boys were too wild. Hopefully they will be calmer tomorrow so I can get it done.

Michael was off today and we had to go school shopping for Bailey. I had a fig bar (3 grams of fat) and a diet coke for breakfast.  I know I should have had something else but I was in a hurry.  I was in a hurry so I only did a mile on the bike before we left.

I had a grilled chicken sand with tomato, lettuce, mustard at BK. I told them to hold the mayo and they said it had honey mustard so I said hold that and give me plain mustard. No cheese or anything.

We shopped for 5 hours or more. We walked and walked and walked. lol. So I know I burned a few calories.

On the way home I had a few bites of some shredded deli roast beef that Michael bought. No bread or anything. Just the meat and some grapes. I was starved out from all that shopping. Came home and put away all of our stuff and cleaned the house up some. Finally had a sec to sit down and eat a bite. I ate a bowl of chili and some fat free crackers.

Overall I think Ive done pretty good today. Im gonna do the bike more later tonight.

I bought some Weight Watchers scales and I love them. They say I weigh 4 lbs less than Moms did. lol. But its been a few days since I was at Moms and I have been working my  butt off.  That was this afternoon after Ive ate all day and fully clothed. Im gonna weigh again tomorrow in the morning before eating or anything.

I had a couple of NSVs today. The first being that I went to BK and didnt get my favorite thing.. a whopper with cheese and onion rings. I had the grilled chicken instead. Then we were at Walmart and they had the Ranch pretzel bites. OMG they are like my favorite thing on the planet to binge on. I can eat an entire bag. I read the label and it was 60 grams of fat for the entire bag. 6 grams per serving and I would have at the entire bag in a day or less. Im sooo glad I put them back.

– Did 2 more miles on the bike late last night and had some strawberries as a late night snack.
