WIW - Plateau edition
This week: 221
Last week and the week before that: about the same
Start: 237
Total loss: 16 lbs
Well despite being frustrating this is pretty good for not being able to exercise. Earlier this week I stepped on the scale (bad Liz!) and was at 225 but I attribute that to monthly girl bloat, ugh.
Anyhoo, I had a serious NSV last night. On my way home from a friends place I stopped at Mac’s...
My new favorite breakfast
1/2 cup grape nuts
2 spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup blueberries
1 chopped peach
Mix!
The grape nuts give that crunchy satisfaction that I just don’t get from oats and it’s super filling.
Yum!
Loving the Grill
After much deliberation, Ryan and I FINALLY bought a BBQ, and it is seriously the best decision we have made all year. I am in love with grilling, it makes everything taste good, even normally bitter green peppers that I really dislike. It’s been so hot and humid here for the last few days that cooking inside is just not an option, especially since we don’t have air conditioning.

Changes
Well, I need surgery on my knee. The doctor says I have torn cartilage and is referring me to an orthopedic surgeon. This also means no more unsupervised gym visits, weekly physiotherapy and a very frustrated Liz.
How the heck do I get cardio in if I have trouble walking short distances? I am terrified that this is going to begin my vicious cycle of trying to get healthy, getting injured...
What are they teaching in schools?
A kid who looks about 12 or 13 walks up to the counter at the arcade I work at.
Me: What can I get for you?
Kid: A bag of chips and an iced tea
I grab both items and place them on the counter.
Me: That will be 3.50
the kid puts a two dollar coin on the counter and looks at me.
Me: That’s 2 dollars, I need another 1.50.
Kid: Uh, you’re not allowed to get 2 things for that much?

Busy
Somehow I managed to go from having no job and taking only one class to having THREE jobs and taking 2 classes. This is going to be interesting.
I haven’t been eating so well lately, but it’s only been a few days so I’m not sweating it. Tomorrow is a brand new day and the extra energy I will get from eating clean again is going to help me get through this busy patch. My biggest...

Last Week: ???
This Week: 221.4
Total Loss: 15.6lbs
Not bad! my last weigh in before I left had me at 224, then I gained a few while I was there which means I lost...

Balance
I’ve been having trouble balancing my food intake lately. I’ve been eating really well during the day only to find myself snacking like crazy after dinner. I think the issue is that by the time dinner is over, I still have about 300 calories left that I should have broken up over the course of the day. I’d prefer to be full enough from dinner not to have to snack past 7 or...

eeeeee!
New Job
Sorta.
I made the decision to go back to my old salon part time to do hair again. Mostly because I’m broke but also because I miss it! It will be nice to have an excuse to do my hair/makeup when I leave the house since I usually feel silly going all out just for school.
So as of now I am a part time: hairstylist, student and research assistant. All three pretty much equal to a full time...

Recipe Makeover - Jambalaya
This morning I went to the hospital for my GI series tests. I have been having stomach issues lately and hopefully this will figure out what the heck is wrong with me. However, the test included a barium swallow which was probably the most vile thing I have ever injested in my life. After this ordeal and the stomache ache that followed, I found myself craving some real down home healthy food. This...
Cooking up a storm
Currently testing out a new recipe I made for a healthy version of Jambalaya. As soon as it’s done and I know it tastes good, I’ll post it here! It’s a fairly time consuming meal with lots of ingredients but nothing is actually difficult and the pay off is so worth it.
What type of recipes do you prefer? Tasty and Quick or Complicted and Delicious?
let the countdown, begin!
