Billy wanted to go out to dinner as a family and since I loved Cafe Rio last time we went I suggested that. But today, he and I were trying to estimate how many points it would be and we thought maybe 20, but then I just looked up the nutrition facts/ points and I found out it is 24 points!! So much higher than I originally thought! So Billy was OK on his points but I went way over. At least we both tried it now, it'll be a special occasion when we go back there again. Lot's of points but so good!

I think Billy had the same but I don't have it written down anywhere. Knowing him, he probably had an Orange Julius or something, so he still was w/in his points.

Monday

My birthday! (Way splurge day)

Billy made me a nice big breakfast. We had basically egg sandwhiches- biscuits, eggs, cheese and sausage.

For lunch my friends invited us to Peter Piper Pizza. It was so sweet of them, they all gave me cards and I got some gifts and a cake. Sooo sweet. The kids loved it.

So I had 1 piece of pizza and a small piece of cake.

Dinner- someone had given us $10 so what did we do w/ it? Spend it as soon as possible of course. And I didn't want to make dinner on my birthday, so we got Filiburtos.

Oh what a fatty day! I felt it too.

Oh I almost forgot, I hate to admit it but there's more. Well, Cold Stone has free ice cream on your birthday. So we had to get some! I got vanilla w/ brownie and carmael mix ins. It was good.

I was full pretty much the whole day. You would think w/ eating like that I would've gained like 5 lbs, but amazingly enough I still lost 1/2 lb! haha. It would've been more if I wouldn't have had this day I'm sure. But that's ok, how often does your bday come around?

Didn't do the greatest today, but in my defense I planned the day ahead of time and thought I could get away w/ a high point lunch b/c I knew we were going out for dinner and I was going to have like a 6 point salad (putting me at 20 points) but we went to Cafe Rio and the salads there are higher points. It was so good though! They put beans and rice and chips in it and top it w/ a ranch tamatillo sauce. So good!
I don't know what Billy has to say for himself forcing me to eat a twix bar w/ him!

3 days

So I'm finally getting around to posting for the last 3 days. Uggh, we did not have good eating days the last couple of days. We ordered Barros Pizza and Wings. It was really good, but really fatty. I'm starting to not like how I feel after I eat that type of stuff. I enjoyed it while I was eating it but afterward I just didn't feel as good as I do when I eat healthy. So I'm glad I'm more conscious of it now, and we're not just eating junk left and right w/out feeling bad about it. So today was better.
I'll start w/ today so I have the most recent on top.

*We try to be as accurate as possible w/ points. Some things we calculate and we know exactly how many points it is, but other things we just guess, and I try to always over estimate if I'm guessing at something. Or if something is half a point I just round up. We guessed that our Pizza was like 10 points a slice, so we might've overestimated but it's probably close.

Nothing really good, but not really bad either. Again, not the best day- but we didn't go overboard. It's embarrising to post day after day, where we have days that are so-so or not great, but we have our good days too. We need to make them more often.

We're back in the game

Well, it's been almost two weeks since we last posted. Things were going so good too. I was so happy to see results, I really felt good about the diet (it's easy b/c it's not like we're making major changes, we're just more careful), and I thought this blog was really helping too. BUT it's time consuming to log on and post so often, plus I was starting to wonder if anyone was really reading this anyway. So I thought we could live without the blog.
Not such a great idea. It seems like once I slacked on the blog we slacked a little on the diet. We didn't do the greatest the last couple weeks. So I'm remotivated again, and I'm going to keep on recording what we eat b/c I've learned that it really does help. It seems to make a big difference with me when I know I'm going to post it.
So, we're doin this again.

Today I (Teanne) had:

Oatmeal (4)
Sandwhich 8)
Pretzels (1)
Chicken Casserole (5.5)
Total: 18.5

Billy had

Juice (2)

Good News & Bad News

Ok, so let's start w/ the good news. All of my fat pants that used to fit are now litterally falling off they're so big. It's pretty cool, but it was also frustrating this past week that my pants were constantly sagging. So I went Goodwill shopping (1/2 Saturday!) I am SOOOo excited b/c I am in a new size! Ok, still not quite ready to reveal my weight, but I think I can say my pant size now. K, my box of skinny close has anywhere from a sz 9-13 (that's juniors, so for those of you who don't know juniors are odds, womens are even so it would be 8-12 womens) and my postpartum jeans (which ended up becoming my "am I ever going to get out of this size?" jeans after awhile) are sz 16. I am now comfortably in a sz 14! I even bought a sz 13! YAY! It made me so happy, and more motivated to do better... which leads me to the bad news.
Oh, we had a bad couples days for the diet. The diet was just thrown out the window yesterday and today. I am not even going to try to write down what we ate b/c 1) We weren't keeping track and 2) I don't want to. I'm a little embarrassed. And I know, that's what this whole blog is for- so that if I eat good I'm proud to post it, if it's not so good I won't want to post it but I'll have to anyway. Let's just say we went all out this weekend. We had halloween candy, and french fries, and homemade pumpkin pie. Billy decided to make a real pumpkin pie from scratch. It was good! But I have to say I am not handling junk food as well now that we've been staying away from it. So that's a good thing- maybe that'll be a good motivator for me when I'm craving something I shouldn't have- I'll just have to remember that crap makes me feel like crap. haha.
Ok, that's it for today.
