Om nom nom!

The other day I decided to stuff a pita pocket with tuna mixed with ff mayo, celery and spices. I added 1/2 a slice of ff cheese and grilled it in 2tsp of oil and OMG delish! I was very excited about all of it really.lol I could check off my daily oils, a lean protein serving and whole grain and for me the more I can check off in my planner the happier I am about what I just ate! I just fed on to dear hubby and he loved it too!
For supper tonight I am making a yummy spinach salal with oranges, strawberries and feta cheese with a basamic dressing and I'm excited because it's amazing! It's nice to be excited about healthy eating again, it feels like it's been way too long :)

Planning!

I figured that since I'm struggling right now that I should try to plan my entire food for the day the night before. This is nothing I've ever done before, but now that Rowyn is so busy I just don't have time during the day to think which only leads to eating whatever I can. Or, I sit there while I'm eating and thinking about what I'll be eating next. It's part of my love affair with food, I'm always thinking about it which causes me to always want it! So here it goes!

B: 2c multigrain Cheerios w/ 1/2c skim milk

S: 1c grapes

L: Tuna w/2tbsp ff mayo on a pita grilled w/2tsp EVOO + spinach salad w/cucumber&tomato w/2tbsp low cal greek dressing

S:1c Garden Vegetable soup

D: 4oz "Speta" Chicken ( baked chicken breast stuffed with chopped spinach,reduced fat feta and greek dressing) with 1c whole grain rice and peas!

S: fudgesicle

Optional snack= 1 ww cupcake w/ 1c skim milk

For a total of 34 points! with a couple spares just in case!

SO lets see how this pre-planning this goes!

yes, long time no see!

I've been a slacker. I've basically stopped caring and starting gaining as duh, they go hand in hand! Especially when you still need to lose another 100lbs or so! I've been thinking a lot lately and trying to analyze why it is that I've pretty much stopped caring and starting eating crap and saying "yup, tomorrow..." it's always tomorrow!

I've learned what I've known all along. I associate working out with eating healthy and if I'm not doing one, I'm definitely not doing the other! I've tried doing the 30 at shred at home *too hot or don't make time*, I've bought an elliptical on Kijiji and it's in our bedroom *it's too hot in our room*, I've tried the C25K *fun until after a week I was laid up for 2 weeks bc of my knee*, I've tried walking 4-5k a day with Rowyn *walking is too boring*!! excuses all around! I just keep thinking that if I JUST could go to the gym in the time it took me to walk 5k I could have a great workout at the gym and burn 4x the calories and feel good about it!!

I miss the gym and *tada!* have learned that I just don't have the know-how or will power to work out at home. Therefore I think I'll have to put a hold on my WW membership and join the gym (can't afford both right now) I'll still track and start blogging being more active on the message boards again. Those things make a huge difference! It makes sure that my weight loss and need for support are constant in my thoughts :)

I'm 95% sure that's my decision and I'm 100% sure that I'm back!!
