My Pants still fit!

I haven't really lost a lot in pounds, but I'm sure I've shrunk in inches. I know this because I have a pair of pants that are falling off my behind. This surprises me because I ate nothing but crap this past weekend. I went to Utah to help my husband pack. Since a lot of the kitchen was already packed, cooking was out of the question. We ended up heating pizzas in the oven and eating take out a lot. My husband and I were not together for Valentine's Day this year because he is still in Utah working. So we went out to dinner Saturday night to my favorite place, Wingers. OMG! They have the most delicious wings I have ever tasted. Their Amazing Sauce is ... well .... Amazing! Then day two, Sunday, we promised our son Jason that who ever helps us with the packing and dumping will be treated to pizza or whatever. So we sent Jeff to get Taco Bell. And yes I could have ordered something off the fresco menu, but did I? No! (Slap my hand for that). Day Three (Monday) , departure day back to Idaho. It was Panda Express for lunch before we left Utah. Then when we got into Pocatello, hunger set in again and it was a grilled sourdough burger from Jack n the Box.
So how is it that I managed to go down a pant size and stay that way after a weekend of gluttony? Maybe it was the hard work of sorting, packing, and dumping.

Drive-Thru Blues!

Sure it would be easier to just go to a drive-thru when I am out and about running errands. But keeping my eyes on the end goal keeps me from giving in to temptation. There is a motto that the weight watchers leader from many years ago used to say to us; "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." Maybe I should write that down and stick it in my wallet. Only it should say "Jack n the Box Tacos don't taste as good as being thin feels", or egg rolls, or cheese burgers, or bacon cheddar potato wedges, or .... OK I better stop now before I decide to throw that whole motto out the window.
Bottom Line: Don't shop while hungry, and maybe take a healthy snack along with me to keep me from ordering those yummy but very fried wing dings from the wal mart deli.

A little better

Since my last blog, new events have happened. I was sick this past week and was unable to work out at all, but I still managed to lose a little bit of weight. Also, even though he is using oxygen, my step dad is doing pretty well right now. One of the people from hospice that comes by to check in on us, brought me some reading material for preparing my daughter for what will come.
My husband has still not found a job here in Idaho Falls, but he will still be coming up permanently at the end of the month. We did our tax return, and will have enough income to last us a little bit while he searches for a job. Wish him luck. He is trying to get into the police department here.
As for me, I am still recovering from my cold, and will continue with my work out routine starting on Monday. Also back to keeping my focus, and losing 30lbs for the pound for pound challenge. I want to lose a total of 60lbs all together but will be happy with 50.
