SUBWAY- EAT FRESH!

Well I did just that. lol.

Although the subway ( which is relatively new to our "neck of the woods" ) only had white or wheat tonight, I had the white.

I got TUNA! The drawback with tuna is sometimes they make it so LOOSE! ugh.

I usually ask for either 1 scoop or 1/2 a scoop ( depends on how generous they are being ) and I get the 6inch.

I decided on tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions. ( the guy was STINGY!! )

That's my supper tonight. Not too bad!! I surprised myself.. even though I'm wanting chips.. I didn't get any.. Nor did I get a drink to go with it.

I'll have some water tonight.

I think I'm heading to bed early to watch Army Wives season 3... I am thinking MARATHON of it!! LOL.

Have a good night!

The junkfood explanation...

and so it's Extremely clear today... :)

Why I've been junk hogging all day yesterday!!

URGHHH I HATE THIS TIMEFRAME!!!!!

What a JUNKY day!! :)

I think I ate ALL the junk in the world today!!!

2 marshmallow peeps, bowl of crunch and munch ( which again, miss Kernels from Montreal ), 7 jelly beans, can of sprite...


and then for supper.. I made BOW TIES WITH KASHA!!! ( went well with my 1 slice of leftover potroast ).

I forgot the fried onions for my bowties/kasha.. so I'll make that tomorrow and stir them in. lmao.

I have those days sometimes.. just junkfood. Not to say it's a good thing or a bad thing.. but it's a "thing" that takes me over for a day or two and then next thing I know.. I have my period. lol. Between that and the food no wonder I gain about 5 lbs of bloating.. which is gone by the time I finish my period thankfully!


aren't you glad you're reading this? LOL.

Surgery... pros and cons

I've come under a bit of attack for my take on surgery for weightloss.

While I am NOT AGAINST surgery!!!! I just don't think it works if you don't have your MIND CHANGED to the "NEW" way you NEED to live!

I have friends who have gone the route of surgery.. Whether it was gastric bypass or the lapband.

They lost some weight initially... but then they went to their way of eating, their way of not excersizing..

guess what.. they gained some back.

I'm not trying to talk behind anyone's back.. I'm hoping for their sakes that they get back on the right track and can get the weight off... and be an HUGE ( pardon the pun) INSPIRATION to others!!!

Now that I have lost 115 lbs on my own WITH NO SURGERY ( HINT HINT SOME PEOPLE ) I might actually consider getting the excess flab that won't tighten up removed.

I'm weighing my options with this one. Hard choice for me!

I want to wish everyone an easier journey what ever choice you decide on.. just make sure it's the right choice for you and your MINDSET is RIGHT ON!

: )

Beautiful LUNCH! mmm mmm good!

I'd SO reccomend this one!!

Tuna mixed/mashed up with some mayo. Put on 2 slices of country boule bread TOASTED.

cut up tomatos, celery and chickpeas with some onions.

Mix w/ little white vinegar and some veg. oil. sprinkle of salt and some salad spices.

Absolutely delish. filling!

I've been slowing down on my "excersize" portion recently and think I just got some motivation to re-start it up!!

Hard to do mind set when you have kids at home from school.. but then I think to myself, if you don't do it 100% of the time, that's OK!! Just pick it back up!

I know there are a lot of people in my life that are really big. I hope to help them.. but this journey... IS FOR ME! Hopefully THIS DOES HELP them!!

Who wants to commit to going on biggest loser with me? LOL.. I'm thinking about applying. :)

The weekend in full.

Wonders why it's harder to fight those "demons" while on the weekend.

I actually did pretty good. Went in to a bakery and got NOTHING! although I did buy a small bag of cracker jacks (impulse buy) and ate 4 kernels of it.

OMG I MISS KERNELS!!!! (MONTREAL I MEAN)

We did pretty good this weekend.. didn't eat too much in the way of junk food. I love the central market here! fantastic fresh foods.

I made a wonderful potroast last night.. and while I sat there and trimmed away the excess fat, I thought to myself... WHO KNEW there was SO much fat on things! I cooked these with the FAT side DOWN! Usually you cook them with the fat side on top.. but I didn't need all those drippings.

I find now that I've lost 115 lbs that fatty content does a HORRIBLE turn of events on my tummy!! ( I KNOW!! TOO MUCH INFO )

But I will say I ended up with a cherry Crush drink (SHAME)... but the good news is... I walked the central market ( atleast 3/4 of a mile around that place. lol ) and I walked a walmart.. meandering through the aisles, even you don't need anything is a good way to do more walking.

Test out the "training" equipment. lmao. Just say " you're thinking about buying this and was wondering how it will work out for the long haul!!"

lmao.. just use the dumbbells (miniweights whatever) while you walk around walmart. lol. Go FIRST THING in the morning!! LOL.

HERE YA GO!:)

VEGGIES!! The love of!

I LOVE VEGGIES!!

I had a wonderful veggie salad today.

Tomatoes, Kholrabi, celery, organic sweet carrots... with just a little veggie oil and white vinegar with some salad spices. Just a hint of salt splashed on there for a little brighter taste!!

DELISH!!

Pair that with Dolmas ( which I'm not sure if those are the "healthiest" of foods ) and some Caselatrano ( or something like that lol ) olives.. (green) and sliced FRESH bread.

HEAVENLY!!!

I think I'll have it again for supper!! ( Yes I'm running late tonight ).

I guess I'll go for simple, and light in the evening!!

:)

Actually maybe I'll add some salmon!! hmmmm... first to go work it off.. ;)
