The lost weekend

I said I'd post my driver's license pictures from the last twenty years today. I started to but after fighting with Photoshop for about an hour trying to crop them and change the blurriness I decided I'm just to tired and it's past my bedtime. Maybe later this week. They all look like mugshots anyway so I'm not sure why I want to post them. Some of them are really bad pictures. Especially the one where I weighed 240 pounds that was taken five years ago. I look like I'm wearing a fat suit. My weekend was okay, but I worked both days. Saturday from home and today I went into the office. All I can say about that is "yuk". Not fun to work on the weekends. I want my life back. My scales lured me back on to them today. Old habits are hard to break. I was actually down to 173.6. So I actually lost the 1.4 I gained plus another .4. In the big picture, that's really nothing. I still want to lose at least another thirty or more pounds, but I refuse to go on a "diet". I like not being so stressed out by my eating. I even had a glass of wine yesterday without guilt. I'm cutting back a bit on my portion sizes. I know how much I should eat and this isn't a free-for-all where I can eat until I'm stuffed. The idea is still to lose weight, but not get so crazy about it. I don't want it to consume me like it has in the past. I want to write more about the other eating guidelines, but right now, I can barely stay awake. Later, I promise.

Wonderful Weekend

Howdy friends! Can you believe it’s already Sunday evening?!?! Hope everyone made the best of their weekend! Mine was great! Saturday morning I was up before 6am for some reason! The positive? I got lots done before 8am! Breakfast was 2 eggs with 2 slices of toast for 5 points. I love to dip my toast in the yolk! What’s your egg preference?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYPUhBvi06RRMe_HXUCjR2mvZJlccW8wZGKW65uW5ibBi5W337ZYOy389pUbVntHhWLf4dq8KOgGdhDbJFsF6-nSViRshaYXr77tvKb6sIDo4jVXkIKqmNZJHKPdURbuw3um-RHEoMZ7yc/s1600-h/DSC090373.jpg"><img alt="DSC09037" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA0X2BwOLqsQ25b3G-AshwSQx8fHDtc3_ayFM3J3Eez1R-p17HZVhxc6v5uTiFz5VSiUYh4ygyklIXeSuLxIHmzdlieKBKsFNhyoq7q4k5SShvyJ4fo8p_cjwejWPK4yuU4GPZGLtFWlrk/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09037" width="404"></a> Kyle and I hit up the grocery store to stock up for the week! The majority of the rest of my day was spent the in the kitchen! I cleaned, chopped, peeled, cut, etc our foods for the week! I also made a big pot of soup! More on that another day! Lunch was quick in between everything! I had 2 oz whole wheat pasta, 1/2c marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese for 5 points. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuPiBNLmVhFGTtL4rE-Kmy4gnhHz_AvX6Dl4UF407AHEOtePskj_NcMf7RNPl4sRs9_mUprvplJZhF8c7s93CFx-V2cuFcg5xoQOz0dxHWwhiQsTyPoRM54H0iJr4jh5JFDsSUsq3jkgJU/s1600-h/DSC090383.jpg"><img alt="DSC09038" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZV0GiabeSyBwkJYsaGUCPF0Yho0r-SGJqNPXQ8zftPVyZ80lUEOpsbiDPjwiKRLSW9suUTDz_HMo6Vat4dTxRe_y1C31sAkETThbBYD3sTt2nutPM7luWhz8GYagJ1MjSvap7cWLvSRr9/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: block; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09038" width="404"></a> We spent the afternoon cheering on the Hawkeyes to another win!
