Weigh day tomorrow might be time to start keeping record online

Tomorrow is a big long day extra at work
should start keeping track of measurements here - now that would give me a record of how I am doing...
have to find a tape measure to do this wonder what my last ones were too... hmmm
maybe a start tomorrow then a weekly update.?

drank a reasonable amount of water - a few to many mocha lattes this week though

been okay on food stakes and done a fair bit of exercising will have to see if it pays off
only one day of toning plus two aqua jogging with some toning section- probably not quite enough but better then none - walked with Leslie Sansone on you tube and boogied to other music too this weekend

will have to see how tomorrow goes

eating out

One of the biggest challenges we face when trying to shed inches is how to eat out and still lose weight
Compared to years ago there were not as many options to eat out restaurants were one of the few options and only an occasional treat - not to mention closed on sundays and limited weekend trading
Now with many fast food chains food courts and burger type places there is plenty more variety and availability we have the option of finding meals on the go more often.

Challenging as it is  - this is still our choice to eat out or to cook at home
so when we do choose to eat out then we have to consider do we want fatty food something kind-of-healthy or something we know is good for us?

A favourite go to meal with my family is subway (topped off with a nice yummy coffee or as the kids would have hot chocolate from say Starbucks)  it is a pretty good option with some ideal low on fat subs especially the likes of the roast chicken - watching the processed carbs easy they do any of the subs as salads on request which in itself is pretty cool and make it fairly easy

Okay next challenge - wanting something different
and calories counting - so Chinese from the food court looks quite nice rice cant be that bad for you can it.... well beware of this healthy innocent sounding foods some of these sauces that coat everything are high in caloric values!

Macdonalds - do have there options of low points (weight watchers) ... low cal (Calorie counting) but then you fall into the but that looks nicer... or that would be good with it trap.....

KFC - evil incarnate some days like when someone suggests a double down those bun-less burgers not necessarily a good idea..

So a few nights ago as previously posted we explored other options (at home)- we had a nice fake-away night at home -- the grill served burgers made to order that was cool - shared with friends even cooler - how did it go ....
our 9 year old made devilled eggs then ate nearly all of them too and she then didnt want her burger any sausages or her serve of homemade ice cream.... lemon icecream as well
dam nice too and hardly any sugar as well which is a bonus

Tonight treating the girls to subway no other options for them has to be healthy fulling and give them plenty of energy to boot plus we view it as a reasonable expense no dishes and spend about $6 per person as get 2 foot longs and have half each which is nice


happy exploring when not at home - check out what is friendly to those whom want lower carbs fresh veg high protein most of those options will give us a good choice to help to watch our waist lines and keep our energy up as well

Emotional eating... NOT THIS TIME THANK YOU

Grr - All I want to do is buy a huge lot of chocolate and sit down and eat it
BUT I AM NOT GOING TO!

why .... I am supposed to have plans with the hubby and he goes and says
Oh by the way I got the dates wrong going to the football Saturday
So instead of something we were going to do together he buggers off to the rugby
which means wife now upset .... and not talking to the husband
so I might be acting like a teenager and not talking to him but hes the one who fluffed it up
hasn't even said sorry - would have been nice to have had our "Date night" kid free

so now I am home with 2 children being annoying and he is out with work mates
Hope his team LOOSES !

if he has anything to drink I can take joy in making sure its horridly noisy here as he cant handle alcohol with his old age--- nah not really he has not really ever handled it very well

 Cant even go out as soon as something gets on my nerves I snap yell get angry or cry

its nearly 7 still have yet to have had dinner.... dont know what to have need to get some shopping done dont want to do that either in a bad way ......
feel like breaking something so started cleaning the lounge up ..
dumped all his stuff he left lying about on the floor on his favourite  chair - wow it looks tidier then ever with just that ...

Usually he is a nice guy very supportive a little lazy but hey we all have our faults I can think of far worse ones as he goes to work - works hard then comes home - just wish days off he would do more..

So other things are getting done at least - so tomorrow - friends over for a few drinks together perhaps play nice ... and happy families....girls get to see a friend and we do "takeaway burger bar at the BBQ with a menu white board for what people want
