Disney on Ice and Bridesmaids

Disney on ice was AMAZING! My friend Carissa and I were the only grown people there without children but HEY it was awesome!



Let's just say if you are a fan of the Little Mermaid you would have loved that segment. Actually all of the segments were really cool. Cinderella got half the show to herself, which was disappointing, and Beauty and the Beast got really shafted (my absolute favorite!) but it's ok. It was still awesome, I would go again tonight if I could, and yes I really am 5 years old.

I have no pictures of the actual show- I can't find my camera, and Carissa's wouldn't work properly, but we do have a few of ourselves and that is all that matters, right??
I'll get those uploaded when she gets around to it. She's a lot like me, so you will probably never see them... I am just keeping it real. I'm just warning you now though! We are majorly cheesing!!

I resisted the allure of cheese sauce too, I am so proud of myself. I had a walking taco instead (Fritos corn chips, beef, lettuce, cheese and taco sauce) which to me is probably more filling. Carissa got the cheese sauce and I tried so hard to ignore it! I am glad I did.

Then we went back to hers where we watched The Lion King with our men and Max got into some paint. They were painting the kitchen a yellowish brown mustard color and Max got a little excited hehe he's got some paint on his fur and he did get a little sick from it today but no worries- he's ok. He just licked it a little I think and decided it was bad, then he ate cat food, and we all know what happened the last time he ate cat food.

I was supposed to go to Spin today with my uncle's half sister but due to a sick dog, I rain-checked. She was nice enough to let me... Sorry! Next week, I promise. ;) (I'm still scared sh*tless but I will do it... I will!)

And tonight is bridesmaid dress trying on thing a ma jig

Kayla is in town this weekend and she is insistent on me trying on dresses that most likely will look awful on me....but its her special day so its okay. Im kind of excited/simultaneously loathing it, just because it will be fun to buy all of the dresses but I have absolutely no money whatsoever so I will have to wait anyway to order it...

I was thinking since I am going to be trying on dresses anyway that I should dress up what do you guys think? I mean at least do hair and make up right? But I kind of want to do the whole dress-tights-boots thing too. I think I will.


And then of course..... I had the most amazing idea ever! Are you ready for it??

I decided that since I cannot leave my weekly points alone, I was going to essentially 'spend' them all at the beginning of the week- in theory, not in practice. I am going to say on Monday I had all 49 points even though I really *won't*. If I see my 'savings bank' is empty, perhaps that will force me to eat only within my allowance.

Does that make sense? I am not really going to eat all the points on Monday- I am just going to say I did, that way I am not tempted to eat 10 weeklies every night. Its like real life! I only have this much 'money'- 35 points- to spend every day. (To be honest, I wish I had $35 to spend every day- that would be awesome!)

What do you think? I can do that with out depriving myself of anything. I can have a WW dessert every day if I wanted. I'm not worried about that. I am worried about getting out of control and maybe seeing that my 'savings bank' is empty, I won't be tempted to dip into it. Unlike real life where I have no savings at all.

Also- I know why I have been eating like a pig and just feeling super blah, and guilty over everything! Hello, Aunt Flow! I always forget. I am going to make a note on my calender right now, that in 28 days, I will be like this again. I might go 21 days out so I can see- "Oh yeah, my crazy week is here" Now that I have started, things will go back to normal emotionally and hopefully I wont be dipping into the jar of peanut butter again!

Hello, My Name is Christie

Hello, my name is Christie, and I am recovering from a binge last night.

I have no idea how many points/calories I had but to be honest, it was a lotttt.

I tracked all of my 35 dailies and then I just... stopped tracking but kept on eating.

Some of the highlights:

-Chicken alfredo
-Pretzel sticks and peanut butter
-More chicken
-Spoonfuls of peanut butter as I ran out of pretzels
-Jello (sugar free of course- got to keep my trim figure!)
-Cereal
-Lots of coffee with lots of chocolate creamer which I realized was actually Swiss Miss hot chocolate in a different container.


I have no idea why I did that to myself. But the sad thing? I did not even get disgustingly full like I used to. I ate way more than usual and somehow, it wasn't enough.

I'm pretty sure its part stress, part being upset with my weigh in. So I fix that by eating a bunch? Shh I know my logic has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

Today is a better day. A much better day. I have Disney on Ice tonight to go to. I have my Princess Headband on already. I am dressed. I have done my hair. I may even do make up too.

I had 3/4 cup of cereal and 1/2 cup of milk, plus my regular coffee, with measured ingredients today. I've had 10 points for breakfast. I am ok with that.

I stepped on the scale today and shock! I am up 2 lbs again. I know that I did not eat an additional 2 lbs of food. It is 98% likely that I am retaining water since I ate all salt last night. I mean, peanut butter and pretzels? Come on.

Being accountable and admitting my mistakes. Just another reason being grown up sucks lol :) On the agenda? Lots of water.

You Know What You Need To Do

I expressed a little disdain for my gain today and a little sad that I keep doing this dance with the 220's. I want a new partner to dance with for a bit. Maybe the 210s!

Everywhere I turned to for advice, or remarks and comments that were given to me was the same piece of advice.

You know what you need to do.




And it's true. I do know what I need to do.

*I need to track it all. Weigh it, make it, and do it.
*I need to stop making complicated meals.
*I need to eat easy, convenient meals.
*I need to stop eating cereal
*I need to eat less carbs and more fiber

Basically, I need to eat right. I need a very consistent eating schedule. I need to treat myself like I do my dog, Max. He gets up at the same time every day to go to the bathroom. He eats two meals a day, goes poo like clockwork (Seriously- 2pm!) and then he has a snack of peanut butter at bed time.

I need to do the same. I need to pick a breakfast, snack, and lunch that I like enough to eat every day. I need to have an uncomplicated dinner every night. I need to pretrack and measure it all.

I need to be consistent.

I changed my weigh in day to Monday. I need to be accountable for my weekend. I need to just shut up and do it. I need to dust myself up and try again. I need to quit bitching.

I need to finish dinner. :)
