Honey I'm home!!!

I'm back!!! Vacation at the cabin was so much fun we went running, hiking, walked in the creek, puzzles, hours of card games, and a few games or croquet. That was also followed with snacking, snacking, tons of booze, and more snacking. I tried my best and what really got me was the empty alcohol calories. We took about 15bottles of wine and other mixers for cocktails and came back with about 5 bottles of wine and only two mixers left. (There was six of us) all in all it was a blast and I still have 4days left after today in vacation that are getting me back on plan. I'm glad I have semi enough discipline to tell myself well vacation at the cabin is over get back on plan. This morning I had a sausage with veggie omelet and an iced coffee for 9pts+ I'm planning on making ww chicken salad for lunch and hopefully heading to the gym tonight! I have so many blogs to catch up on but its nice to be back!
Weigh in tomorrow I'll see what damage has actually been done....

I'll be back!!!

Be back in a few days on vacation till friday!!!

Is there ever a too much?

Is there a such thing as going to the gym too much? My hubby and I workout at the same gym but I feel that he puts going there over me all the time. I admire his dedication but at the same time if I ever want to go out on dates or anything and he has plans to go to the gym I get put on the back burner and that it is more important. Does anyone else have this issue? For example tonight I wanted to go out for dinner and he says no because he has gym plans but this happens all the time. I told him that I feel like he always goes and he said I need to understand that he has plans. He works out with a buddy there so it makes sense but I don't feel like going sometimes and just want to hang out together. I guess its better that he says no so we don't eat out but I dont feel that its fair he is there 5 out 7 days mot weeks and its not like we can workout together... does that seem whiney? I guess I'll be going to the gym tonight after work : ( being lazy stinks lol

Well another week another day to get on the scale. I stuck to around 29pts every day except for Sunday and tried not to use really any weeklies and I think this helped a lot since I didn't work out too much. Now this week I'm going to put those two together and see where it gets me. I really want to beat my hubby!

food!!

I don't have to much to write about I have been to the gym the last two nights and its nice to be back into my routine even though I have stuck to my points the whole time but I have been liking a few foods lately that I thought I would share.

Love buffalo sauce I put this on so many different things

use these for wraps and other yummy for lots of stuff and only 1pt+

these are amazing but high in pts 4pts+ per serving but worth the splurge once and a while

same with these 4pts+ but so amazing when wanting a chocolate ice cream dessert

angel food cake 2pts+ for a slice amazing with strawberries and powdered sugar

 love chobani low in pts and has so much protein

black olives have been going on top of a  lot of my food lately

what are some things you have been eating lately?

So I got enrolled in my new school Monday and my part time shifts are a go! I start vacation a week from this Thursday and don't come back to work until August 4th so I will be gone two whole weeks and I cannot wait. Then hubby and I will be driving up to California for 3 nights to go stay with his dad at his beach house then school starts the following week. I will be going in the am till around 11 then heading to work. It's gunna be a lot of work but worth it to get into the carrer I like hopefully. I'm planning on sticking onto my weight loss program so that I stay on track to hit goal by October! I'm really looking forward to the new changes ahead and starting on a new journey!

I have been pretty lazy this week I only worked out on Monday but my eating has been good. I'm hoping to see a loss still this Sunday but only time will tell. I need to get my workout mojo back and beat my hubby in this competition lol

Weekend summary and weigh in!

Well Today was weigh in day I really tried hard last week after my monday screw up

Last weeks weigh in: 165.8
This weeks weigh in: 164.8
Loss of 1lb

I am finally past this 165 point I'm aiming for at least 163 next week!! It's funny how when you stick to plan and work out you actually get results and I'm ready to face another week!

I tried something new last night. I saw this on hg website and thought it was sort of ridiculous but decided to try it anyway when I saw it at the store.

It tastes just like an appletini its crazy and obviously without all the actual calories/points. It was so delicious! We had some friends over that were drinking and I had this instead in a martini glass and it was just fine.

Tomorrow I am going to meet with a counselor on becoming a court reporter so I'm really looking forward to it then my fave zumba class later in the evening.

Then to top off the weekend we went to the humane society and came home with this beauty

Chanel

she is so adorable and playful and only 15weeks old. She gets along with our doggies and so far has been great! She is the first cat we have ever owned so any tips are appreciated!!!

Looking forward to what my weigh in shows next week I'm one pound away from my goal in our challenge while hubby is still 5 away lol only two weeks to go!!

Motivational quotes:

I found a site that has some motivational quotes it doesn't show an author so I'm just gunna put down annon feel free to take any!!

You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day.

Listen closely: the only time it's too late to change yourself is when you're dead. Until then, you're simply making excuses or lying to yourself.

"Never trade what you want the most for what you want at the moment"

A year from now, you may wish you had started today- Robert Schuller

"Never give up on a dream just because of the length of time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." 

Start doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you'll be doing the impossible! 

Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be little bit better today than you were yesterday.
