Followers : Pounds Ratio

Last week, I got up to 10 lbs. lost!!  Hooray for me - it was also the first time I saw 10 Facebook Followers and 10 Actual Followers.  So this week, I'm up to 13 lbs. lost, so my goal is to get 3 more FB followers and 3 more actual followers.  Think I can do it?  We shall see :-) I feel absolutely fantastic, I know it's only 13 lbs. but I worked really hard to keep that 13 lbs. off, so it's real important - I'm working towards the 20 lb. goal.  I plan to blog a little later on some more recipes I have tried.

Slow and Steady wins the race!

Down 1.8 lbs. and I couldn't be happier - this week, I was sure there would be a gain as there was Valentine's Day AND that time of each month where my husband tries his best to tolerate my less than stellar mood. So with that said, I'm happy.  Gotta keep reminding myself this weight just didn't come on over night--it's gonna take a little time to get it off--Slow and Steady wins the race :-)

6a can't get here fast enough!

I have been soooooo busy this week with work AND life in general, I have kinda neglected to blog! I haven't tried any new meals, but I have added JUST DANCE 2 to my work out and I couldn't be happier, such a fun game! I have my 6a weigh in and I'm feeling VERY confident, so wish me luck...I hope I will be able to post an overall 10 lb. loss :-)

Best time to work out....

Have read several posts today and wonders "when is the best time to workout?" So I am going to blog-land to research when people work out and what is their reasoning.  I just thought I would work out whenever I had time....that may not be the best answer. What do you think?

Dijon Pork Chops

As a member of Weight Watchers, I come across some really tasty recipes--and once in a while, I will come across a recipe that even my WHOLE family will eat--THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RECIPES. Granted, this is what I had for dinner last night - and it was my lunch today :-) Ingredients 16 oz lean boneless pork chop, (8 chops) 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard 3 Tbsp sugar 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 1 spray(s) cooking spray 1/4 cup(s) water Instructions Place pork between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each piece to a 1⁄4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Combine mustard and next three ingredients in a small bowl. Place pork in a shallow dish; spoon 2 tablespoons mustard mixture over pork, turning to coat. Let stand 15 minutes. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add pork, and cook 4 minutes on one side; turn pork and spoon reserved mustard mixture over pork. Cook pork ...

A loss is a loss...

Even its just 1.79....uuuuuugggg....

I stopped myself.

I know I'm on the right track.  I no longer crave sugar.  I no longer crave THAT cheeseburger.  Wow--what a great feeling. Today, since the pork chops were not thawed, I told my husband the words that I haven't mumbled in almost a month "go get something to eat".  He asked where and I told him Wendy's.  I then had a chance to say "I want nuggets and fries, large pop".  You know what I told him--small chili, no crackers.  I added fat free sour cream and just a sprinkle of fat free shredded cheddar cheese--and amazingly enough, I was full.  I stopped myself from making a HUGE mistake.  It is two days away from weigh in.  I can do this!
