Monday & Tuesday = good and bad...
Welcome to eFAT-Blog. This is a site where you can find the journey of an American suburban working mother of 5 children's journey to a healthy lifestyle.
Daily I will detail my emotions, food, activity and the like in the neverending battle of the bulge.
Come take the journey along with me.
Monday:
Food:
B: Left over biscuits and gravy (made with skim milk and turkey sausage) (?/?)
MMS: Yoghurt and low-fat granola (325/5); diet dew
L: bowl of raisin bran (I was feeling restless and only slightly hungry) 180/2 Drama in the neighborhood irritated me.
MAS: celery stick with approximately 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (100/8)
D: pork roast w/ new potatoes and baby carrots; whole wheat roll, water.
Went to see the new house after dinner. The former residents still have tons of stuff in it. As long as they have it out by Thursday a.m. – nbd. Going to check again tonight to be sure. Much bigger house than what we had, but we’re worried about where everything is going to fit. LOL. It’ll be fine, I’m sure. Everyone will have their own space – save Bean and Tank. They will have to share. But I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.
Mood: anxious, yet hopeful.
Activity: up and down the stairs all day long, not much else
Tuesday:
Food:
B: : 2 Morning Star Farms Breakfast Patties (or ‘Fausage’) as I like to call it. (180/6) and coffee with splenda x 2 (0/0)
MMS: diet dew (really busy)
L: Cambell’s Italian Wedding Soup (110/2) and wheat crackers (100/2); diet dew
MAS: Hershey’s Take 5 chocolate bar 210/5; water
Dinner: @ Red Robbin with my hubby before going mattress shopping. I had a mango margarita, cup of clam chowder and burger and greens – tiger had to finish the salad portion of the greens. I put a big dent in it but was completely full and couldn’t eat another bite. We both waited way too long to eat.
Mattress shopping showed us that those damn things are expensive. But if you figure you’re going to keep it for about 10 years – the cost over time is minimal. /sigh. The one we liked best at Sears was the Serta Perfect Day Sleeper. On sale it’s $1800. Yikes. We’re going to go to Sleep Country today and compare. But I think we’ll end up back at Sears. /shrug. Also picked up a pair of jeans for work and one for weekends. Two new pairs of Levi’s. $65. Having jeans that comfortably fit you: priceless. Giggles.
Activity: Walking all over Sears mattress area and getting up and down on each and every offering. Beyond that: feel like a slug in regards to activity. After the move – walking everyday. I need to get up from my desk and MOVE!
