Breakaway

Well hello all…I know I don’t post here often.  I have a reg aol journal where I post daily but I thought I would come on here and give you a heads up as to what I was up to.   Sunday night we, as a family, decided that in order to aid in our weight loss we were going to change the way we eat.  For the past two days we have been eating dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.  In two days without changing anything but that I have lost 4 lbs!   I know that’s water weight but at least it’s something.  It’s more than was coming off before! lol  I was not even losing water weight before.   The only downfall with this change is that I have to get up at 5am to get everything going depending on what I’m making that day.  I try to do most the night before but there are some things that just have to be done right before the meal.  This  has been a wonderful change for us so far and we are going to continue this way for one month and see from there if we want to continue or go back to normal.  I will keep you informed at how this goes for us!  I hope everyone has been doing wonderful here and I wish you all good luck on y our journey’s

My WI did not go as I wanted it to because I’m sure I ate to much over this last week!  I’m disappointed that I gained my two pounds back BUT I have a menu ready to start the day tomorrow.  I have 32 points counted out and I will follow my menu to a T.  I will report how it went next Sat.  Hopefully it will be much better news next week.  This week is a new start for me.  Kids are gone back to school hubby is gone back to work so it’s just me and the baby and I will be able to eat better foods being home alone. :)  hope you all are having a great week after the big holiday!

Well I have to admit I did NOT want to go in to weigh in this morning BUT my MIL is depending on me to drive her there every week so I cant very well say I can’t go…which I did on purpose so i would NOT miss meetings.  It has worked!  We did miss all of last month only because of traveling (her) and of course I didn’t go by myself because I don’t have the will power yet to get my butt out of bed early enough!   Well anyway!!  I lost 2.2  lbs!  To be honest I have no idea how because last night I ate funyuns and had two pepsi’s!  I really need to try to find my diet zone again!  I’m so out of it right now!

I’m just stopping in to tell you that I will not be posting every day but only once a week (on Saturdays) which are my weigh in at WW  I have another journal that I edit daily because my family is there and all my friends who don’t want to make to change AGAIN lol  some of them live farther away so I post a lot of pictures and videos of the kids there.  If you ever want to check it out it’s on http://journals.aol.com/  my id there is breakaway1968  My journal is private because I talk alot there (haha) and add so many pics and videos it’s just safer that way but if you have an aol id I can add you as a reader…just let me know.  I’m not leaving completely because my best friend is here and I will be reading her daily.  Email me at breakaway1968@aim.com  to give me your aol id if you have one or get one I will add you as a reader.  So watch for my posts on Saturdays and I will tell you how weigh in went for me each week :)  I will also still try and read and comment to a few of you here that I have already met.

It’s going to be a very long day today! I have so many things to do and it will take me most of the day. Then the last thing on the list today is to go to Dinner Helpers. We liked it so much last time that were going back again. It’s only 96 bucks for six meals and each meal feeds six so we have left overs as well. My son started wrestling practice and boy do they work those boys! He didn’t get out until 6pm last night and tonight will be the same. He’s been wrestling since third grade and he’s a Junior now. So I’m hoping all this will keep me busy enough to be good today and my plans are to eat before I leave the house and eat dinner when I get home. I will be gone from like noon to 8pm…Ok I may have to take something with me! Otherwise I will be EATING the dinners I’m trying to make lol!

Today I tried the WW Meat loaf that I copied off of the recipe

 chart at the meeting last week.

I have to say this is a keeper!

 It was great and my 3 yr old even gobbled it down.

 I would recommend this recipe!

I did add it to the recipes here and am adding

a photo of it after I blog.

I'm doing much better today and eating more within

 my points finally.

Monday will be much better because the packer game

is over (WOOHOO) and kids and hubby go back to work and school.

So far so good though!

Adding some pics of the meat loaf and of my little one...

let me know if you can see these...I'm  new here so not sure if i'm doing this right!

I was told about this blog from my online BFF Shelley (who by the way I am planning on meeting very soon I hope!)
I thought I would try it out because i am starting AGAIN to attempt this weight loss thing! I am a member of Weight Watchers which has been great to me but I have failed IT terribly… again! This will be my third time back to WW. I go with my MIL and she is the ONLY reason I went this morning (we go to the sat morn meetings). She lives next door to me and picks me up so I have to go Well, I don’t have to go but I don’t want to disappoint her. I was gone for a month prior to this morning and I gained back ALL but .4 lbs of the weigh I had lost…and did you see that correctly? I said POINT FOUR!~ Not Four but POINT four! This is very sad and disappointing for me! I just didn’t want to go back at all to be honest. I had lost a total of 7 the couple months we had gone religiously. That was still not a lot considering we had went like three months. I have been slacking that entire time and STILL doing it now. It’s time to try something new…anything that will encourage me to do something right with this weight loss. If it wasn’t for my friend shell I think I would have given up a long time ago. She seriously is the ONLY person…even out of my family and real life friends who have kept me even remotely thinking of weight loss yet! She tells me there are lots of encouraging people here who help her a lot and she has been doing SO well so I thought I would try this out I do have an aol journal but really don’t get a whole lot of comment there…maybe 3 on a post and I LIVE for comments so I hope I can entertain enough to keep my readers coming back often =) Thanks for listening! And thanks Shell for telling me about this site. I’m going to try it out for a while to see what happens.

I am hoping to find new found inspiration here…sure doesn’t hurt to try…right?!
