Fail

The whole losing weight thing hasnt been going that great.

In order to try to get myself on track I actually weighed myself this weekend.  I havent even tried to do it since Super Bowl Sunday.  I can only imagine I gained at least a couple pounds on Sunday.

In an attempt to try some new recipes, especially those from Hungry Girl, today I tried Tofu Shirataki noodles.  Definitely not racing back to the store to buy some more.  They might be ok in soup or something like that but as a main entree they were rather nasty.  In case your wondering, they dont really have much taste but theyre super rubbery and chewy - no thank you.  I will sacrifice the few extra calories for the real deal.

Cant win them all.....

Damn City Living!

95% of the time I wish I lived out in the country.  A nice quiet place with a big pond where you can sit outside and see the stars as if you were in outer space.

AND NO RESTAURANTS!!!

I did soooo well all day.  All my meals before I got home equaled about 800 calories.  Then I got home and had nothing to eat that wasn't frozen.  I thought about going down to Cleats for wings, decided on Taco Bell.  I did 3 Volcano tacos - could have been worse but could have been better.  Out of all the money I spent at the store yesterday I bought nothing to make for dinners, outside what I made last night.

Bad Melissa.

This Saturday I am definitely hitting the market for some fruits and veggies.  Going to try making the Moussaka from the Biggest Loser cookbook, which Ive been dying to try.  Also gonna need a ham hock so I can make some split pea soup! Yum yum yum!!

Heres to a better day tomorrow.

Trying this again...

So last year my goal was to lose 29 pounds before my 29th birthday.  Well that definitely fell through.

There were a lot of reasons that Im not even going to begin to place blame on right now.  The bottom line is that I didnt stick with it.  This year WILL BE the year I get my ass in gear, mostly because this year I have great support behind me in the form of my boyfriend.  He too has his weight loss goals and we are hell bent on reaching them.

Its easy to be a bum in the winter because its sooooo cold out. My goal for this week is to walk at least 60 minutes a day.  I am also going to start working on getting what I eat in check.  A couple weeks ago I bought two of the Hungry Girl cookbooks which I absolutely love.  Im going to try to pick at least a couple recipes a week to try and will highlight them here.  I also have my Biggest Loser cookbook to pick from :)

Anyways, tomorrow starts the new program!  Check back later for weigh in and measurement info!!!
