BMI

And I just checked on three BMI sites, that mean I now officially have an healthy BMI!!!!

Really?!?

That's what I said!

When I got on the scale this morning.

152.5--> seriously have not seen that for at least 6 years.

Loosing too fast?

It's hard for me to worry too much.

Good Sonoma Day, survived a major challenge-going out to PnL and no drinking or eating. Yay me.

Bfast .5c egg whites

Lunch-Steak and Blue Cheese Wrap

Snack-.5c cherry tomatoes, 1 cuke

Dinner-Mediteranean Pork Chops, Quinoa, spinach (out of broccoli)

Snack-string cheese

Exercise-1.5 mi run with Ginger

Mixed

Exercrsing on Wave 1 sure is effective. Too effective? I weighed in at 158.7 on Saturday morning, Today (6 days later) I weighed in at 153.9. Identical weigh in conditions. 4.8 lbs in six days. I feel good, and have not had any dizziness or extreme tiredness. I know what Weight Watchers would tell me. Well, I can only assume this won't keep up, and it's just the 'getting back on the wagon" spurt (was that an appropriate use of quotes?). Ryan says 3-4 lbs fluctuation a week is normal. Meh. Apparently I just can't be happy.

Last night was super productive, de-labeled about 30 bottles! 60 down, 160 to go!

When my alarm went off this morning I was having a dream that I was in the living room, and Ryan was getting up to get a snack out of the kitchen. He asked me if I wanted any Chocolate ice cream. I was about to say yes and then it was time to exercise. L A M E.

Day Off?

I am so pumped for everyone to be in town. But I feel like there is so much stuff I want to do to the house before they get here. I am probably treading down an unwise path and doing the big projects that none are likely to notice, instead of starting with the easy stuff. But oh well, they know I'm messy.

Bfast-.5c egg whites (not until 11am arrgh)

Lunch-Steak and Blue Cheese Wrap-not as good as yesterday, maybe bc i wolfed it down at 2pm

Snack- 1 cuke

Dinner- Mediterranean Pork Chops, Broccoli w Almonds and hot Pepper, Quinoa pilaf, 2 glasses of white wine

Exercise-4 mi jog w Zito (7:30am baby), photo shoot of a 4week old and her 14mo sister, 2.5y sister and 5 y brother, rearranging the garage and bookcases .

Ryan helped me in the kitchen a bit which was very nice, since this is a kinda do a bunch at once meal (especially since I started in the wrong order). I'm also pumped I got the Photo Session done in 1 hour. The garage looks GREAT, just need to get the couch outta there and the bicycles hung. Dinner was good, but the pork was waaaay overcooked. My oven doesn't keep an even temp AND I have now confirmed the meat thermometer is broken :(

I'm off to scrub the labels off at least a dozen wine bottles then my day will be complete!

Blah for Hump Day

Today was a good Sonoma Day. That's about all I can say for it. I am grumpy, disappointed with how work went without me there, which makes me want to just get out on my own, which makes me think about how hard and impossible that's gunna be. Blergh. Shower/B'ette weekend cannot come soon enough.

Bfast 1/2c egg whites

Lunch steak and blue cheese wrap - first time i've ever had this, so delicious, ryan liked it too

Snacks 1 cuke, .5c yellow pepper strips

Dinner Chicken En Papilotte, the best Wednesday night dinner ever-wrapped it up yesterday at lunch and left directions for Ryan to bake so it would be ready when I got home, super nice bc I have 25 min between getting home and leaving for vball. Unfortunately he got stuck at work and vball was canceled, but it works in theory

Exercise Vball was canceled, so none to speak of, I should have just gone running when I was already up at 7am, but instead I turned off the alarm and rolled over to some very creepy dreams

Helpers a dime sized piece of chocolate and advil PM, as well as an ambitious remodel of our filing system which I undertook to solve the crankies. What kind of idiot starts Wave 1 on period week?

Sibling Day

Tons of Fun! Got tons done too-exercise, conf call, dog park, bookstore, washed 1 dog, bought wedding shoes, got draino, finished grocery shopping, cooked two meals, de-labeled 2 dozen bottles w Mike's help!


Bfast- .5c egg whites

Lunch-Chicken en Papilotte With Vegetables, glass of white wine

Snack- 28 peanuts, .5c tomatoes

Dinner-Flank Steak w Broccoli and Feta 3 glass of red wine consumed in the d4 hours around dinner.

Evening Snack- Laughing Cow Cheese Circle.

Exercise-Ran 3 mi with Ging, cold water bath, the knees are doing well

Well Lookie Here

Something new! Me posting.

I have been holding steady weight wise in the high-mid 150s. So that's really nice as I have not at all considered myself to be dieting, watching or anything. In fact I have been just living, drinking more than is probably necessary, and eating out with friends and family frequently. But now the high-mid 150s are feeling chunky to me and I yearn for single digit pants (besides my work pants, which are worn at my belly button, so I feel it doesn't quite count). I did buy a stop gap size 10 jeans.

So last week I went back on Wave 1, but with Ryan's Bday (2 dinners out) and Mother's Day it was a no go. But try, try and try again. Or there is no try only do. So I am trying to recommit myself to the Wave 1 hardcore-ness. To that end I have made the fun, exciting calendar below! FYI, since the last time I did Wave 1 I have been promoted to Managing a Brand New Studio, and it is v e r y s l o w . Therefore lost of free time! Well I can't seem to get a readable copy of my calendar in here, but you can see it's prettiness at least.



So hopefully I can take some of my learnings from last Wave 1 and do it happier, easier, cheaper. Said learnings: don't halve and third recipes, just eat it multiple times. It is not the end of the world when I take a diversion, every day is a clean slate. Buy Minced Garlic! And most importantly, if it is evening time and I am cranky and hungry, just take a Advil PM and get in bed with a book.

Yesterday was good...

Bfast: Glass of FF milk

Lunch: Black Bean Wrap with 2 slices of turkey, 1c of romaine on a whole wheat pita

Snacks: 28 peanuts, 1.5c of roasted veg medley (a little too much portion wise, but meh)

Dinner: Easy Balsamic Chicken, roasted veg medley

Snack: 3 weird crackers-Wheat Thin's new product (I was depressed bc I just paid for the groceries-meh)

Helpers: Advil PM and Sigrid Unsdet's Kristin Lavransdatter: The Wife. Zito in bed cuddling with me (I so got busted by Ryan)

Exercise: I did not, had Left knee Pain though, puzzling.


As you can see by the schedule, today is Sibling Day, so there will be some alcohol consumption. I will enjoy this and just try not to eat because of it.
