weigh in

Weigh in time again.
I'm happy to report a loss again this week.
Down 1.2 for the week and 7.6 total!
Yay!!!

I didn't think I had a very good week. I've been on night shift all this week and that always messes with me, especially when it's busy. I run around in the crisis unit all night, then come home and have to unwind from all the stress. That means I end up going to bed at 3am most of the time and then I sleep in the next morning and basically get nothing accomplished. It really screws up my week.
Anyone else work shift work and have similar woes?

Anyweigh, I'm excited for another week of progress. Next week, I'm aiming for a 3 pound loss. I think I can do it.

Goals for the week are as always: track daily, exercise and stick to my planned meals.

I took the pup for a walk today before work because it was so gorgeous outside. It was a 15 minute walk around the park behind our house. Nothing big, but it's something.

Friday August 6, 2010

What happened to Wednesday and Thursday?
Well, I got a little busy with The Beast and never got to track those days. I tried to go back and do them but I can't remember specifics.
I know that on Wed, I had a very lovely turkey pasta dinner which...well, let's just say thanks to The Beast, I can't count that meal now.

Moving on...
Thursday, MB and I went out for Indian food. I know I had some of the cabbage cilantro salad, 1 piece of naan, 1 cup of the spinach stuff, 1 of the samosas, 1 cup of the cauliflower stuff and 1 cup of the green bean stuff. That's the problem with buffets. I don't remember the names of the dishes.
I just know that my stomach was still a little hesitant after The Beast, so my plate was not very full at all, which is a good thing.

After Indian food, MB and I went to the local creamery for some ice cream. I know, it's not healthy. Blah blah blah.
MB's been promising to take me there since we moved up here in December 2005. I was damn well going to enjoy my 2 scoops of turtle ice cream. It was heaven, by the way. Thanks for asking.
Our little date afternoon was really nice. :)

Anyweigh, here are the Friday stats, so I can get caught up a little.

Daily points target: 25
Weekly points remaining: not sure so I'm going to try and just stick to my 25.

Breakfast:
none. I slept in again.

Lunch:
2 chicken and cheese enchiladas made with fat free tortillas, WW cheese, reduced fat cream of chicken soup and fresh salsa, 2 points each - 21
1 8oz glass Diet V8 splash, 0 points - 21

Dinner:
2 cups romaine with carrots, 0 points - 21
1 slice provolone cheese, chopped, 2 points - 19
1 1/2 tbsp bacon bits, 1 point -18
4 tbsps light italian dressing, 4 points - 14
1 cup watermelon, 1 point - 13

Snack:
1 mini bag popcorn, 1 point - 12
1 slim a bear, 3 points - 9

I feel like I'm missing something here because I can't possibly have that many points left. I guess I just didn't eat that much. It was a busy night at work and I was running around a lot. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it now.

Tomorrow (which is actually today since I'm playing catch up) is a better day.
Be back later with today's stats.
