OK... so I know I said in my first post that you never ask a lady her age or weight.  Well I know ya'll aint asking, I am offering it up.  I weighed myself at work tonight and I weigh 252 lbs.  That's right I said it. Out loud.  Well out loud with my inside voice anyways.  So if I weigh 252lbs and I want to weigh 160lbs that means I need to lose a whole heck of alot!  92lbs.... Thats a young teenager. WOW.  Well where do we go from here.  Guess I could start by posting eating and sweating for today.

Didn't have a whole lot of time or energy for sweating today but I did do a 1 mile Walk Away the Pounds dvd.  And I am at work running cause my unit is full.  Well I am not running right this second.  Things are calm for a few min.

Eating

Lunch - turkey breast sandwich with 1tbs Miracle Whip
            1 slice cheddar cheese
            8oz gingerale

Supper #1- 1/2c sloppy joes with turkey breast
                   1/2 mashed taters
                   1/2 unsweetened applesauce
Supper #2 I have to eat at work  same as Supper #1 without the applesauce.

Drinking lots of water too. 

What about ya'll?  Have anything good to eat?

Shopping the perimeter

How many of us really shop the perimeter of our grocery stores?  I will admit I buy lots of boxed meals for convience as I am lazy at home.  I work hard when I have my nurse hat on, but at home I am the queen of laziness.  Well yesterday after our walk, "G" and I ventured to our Walmart to pick up a few things.  I am pleased to admit that although I didn't buy much I did not go into any aisles in the interior of the store.  We shopped in the produce buying salad mix, red peppers, asparagus, grapes, bananas, and apples.  I shopped in the meat case buying chicken breast and ground turkey breast, and deli turkey breast slices.  I also bought some cheese for the hubs as he could live on cheese :P.  On tonight's menu is sloppy joes with ground turkey and mashed taters.  Tonight is back to work.  Gonna weigh myself at work tonight and maybe get enough nerve to post it here.  Just trying to keep things honest with myself and all ya'll out there....

Eating and Sweating

What I ate today....
Breakfast- 2 eggwhites on toast with 1tbs grape jam
                 1c milk

Snack- 1/2 banana (shared with the hubs)
            20 grapes

Supper- 6oz chicken breast
             salad with peas, red bell peppers, teeny bit of shredded cheese, 2tbs light ranch dressing
             probably about 20 asparagus spears
             3tbs of Tang ( so retro but I LOVE it!)
             1tbs of O'Charleys honey mustard (another yummmo)

So, according to Sparkpeople.com I am about through eating for the day even though I didn't technically have 3 meals today.  Hmmm.  They have me on 1200-1500 and this is about 1155.

How we sweated today....
"G" , Pimple(our dog), and I walked about 40 min.  I think we walked about 2 miles but the hubs says it was closer to 1.  I might drive it tonight after my short shift at work.  I am also considering buying a cheap pedometer to track steps especially at work.

How bout you all out there?  What did you eat today?

Day 1

Ok here goes.  I'm not computer savvy so I hope this blog post isn't a flop......  This is just a test run on a post I suppose to see how it turns out.  So fingers crossed!


Today is Day 1.  I have been needing to drop alot of weight for a while now but I love food and being lazy to much.  My knees are demanding I do something now. "G" aka my hubs, did I mention I am a newlywed??  We got married on Feb 18 :).  anyways "G" wants to drop about 30lbs(he doesn't need to lose an ounce IMO) so we decided to do this together.  I won't tell you how much I need to lose as I am a lady.  2 things you never ask a lady, her age and her weight. :D

I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this blog.  Might make a seperate blog about meals and exercise kinda like a daily check in.  What do you think I should do out there?  I love feedback and advice too :)

Toodles! xoxo
