Excellent week

Well this week I managed to not only forget the bad week I had last week but even make up for it. This weeks weight loss was 5.6 pounds far passing the 4.4 that I gained last week. My total is now 31 pounds WOO HOO the journey continues.

A new goal

Well I now have another semi long term goal to achieve. I bought Meri a Wii Fit Plus. I went to use it and it yelled at me that I was too heavy for it and then rebooted. Very rude I tell you. At the end of the day it just gives me a new goal to work towards. My next goal is to hit 330 so I can use the Wii fit plus.

Week of travel

Well my trip to DC and Baltimore is over and now I am back home. I did hit the gym twice while on the road. I think I did OK but got baited into having a few drinks last night. Only time will tell if I will have a good week but I am hoping I do.

Horrible Week

Well I finally had that dreaded horrible week. This week I gained 4.4 pounds. Vacation or no vacation this is unacceptable to me. I feel that I have thrown away everything that I have worked for since January.

This week has taught me that even vacation has repercussions that must be addressed. I will be travelling this week for work so it will be time to watch myself while travelling again.

Wiii

Wow,

For valentines day I bought a Nintendo Wii for Meri. Tonight I decided to play with it for a bit my myself. That is a workout without doing anything that is exercise related. I found myself sweating after an intense 3 inning game of baseball. Playing tennis and bowling weren't bad either.

This isnt a bad form of exercise by itself.

Friday weight in

Well since I am going to Florida for the weekend I went to WW a day earlier than normal for a weigh in. Today I weighed in two pounds lighter than last week. YAY I am now 29.8 pounds less than I was when I started the journey.

I was sick most of this week so I only went to the gym once. I get some exercise over the weekend and start with the gym again on Tuesday.

Slow to post

Well I have not had a chance to post much this week as I had a house guest and then got sick. I am feeling "Slightly" better today. I have not been to the gym since Monday, and was going to take a walk around the neighborhood yesterday but was just too sick to do that. I am taking today off from the gym as well and hope to be back there tomorrow morning.

This weekend I am going to a wedding in Florida and when I get back to NY I will have another house guest for the week. I am off next week from work so I will have time to spend with my friend and Maddie.

A slight setback

This week I gained .8 pounds. I am still not sure how this happened as I was good this week, went to the gym 3 times plus took a walk another day. That being said there were a couple of weeks that I thought I would gain and lost.

All I can do is continue to do what I am doing and success shall follow me. Thank you to everyone that has supported me and continue to do so.

Tomorrow I start swimming classes with Maddie. I am so excited about this.

No time for the gym today

Well I did not have enough time to go to the gym this morning, so I decided to take a walk through my neighborhood instead. I ended up going 1.5 miles through my neighborhood in the snow. Yes it was snowing and I went out anyway.

Ok time for work but I had to share

Another good Recipe

This is one that I tried tonight. I did not know what to expect as I created this one myself. It is a seasoned Tilapia. I was very pleased with the results.

Here is the Recipe:

2 Tilapia fillets
2 Pieces Weight Watchers flavored cheeses (Or Laughing Cow)
1/4 Cup Bread Crumbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Spray

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Spray baking sheet with Cooking Spray
3. Season both sides of tilapia with salt and pepper
4. Spread cheese over each piece. NOTE: You may need to soften in the microwave
5. Dip tilapia into bread crumb mixture
6. Cook in oven for 15 minutes

Each person gets 1 fillet.

Successful Recipe

As I have done before, I will post recipies that work for me. This idea was given to me by the Weight Watchers slow cooker cookbook. Its a recipe that I have made many times in the oven but this time I made it in the slow cooker and it came out really well.

1 tbls Olive Oil
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 package mushrooms
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
Other seasonings to taste
1 tbls worcestershire sauce

1. Saute the mushrooms in a pan with the oil until tender. Add the worcestershire sauce after 1 minute along with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool
2. Mix the mushrooms and remaining ingredients until well combined.
3. Shape into loaf.
4. Move loaf to slow cooker
5. Cook 8 hours or until done.
