I had a lot of fun. It is much easier when there are only 8 than 40. The room still is not anywhere to ideal. But it is doable. Krista reviewed all the moves we did two weeks ago and then we did the whole routine as best as we could. It is alot of work but I feel good afterward. I am going to practice this week and try and get my muscle recall back. I feel like a lumbering elephant!!
Biggest problem today was gas...the not so nice kind. Jeepers, three Beanos and two Gas X and still I am just "feeling it". I am glad I didn't have a problem in class as that room is so small and tight, I fear I'd gas us all out.
UGH!! Too much fiber??? I don't know. I hope my body adjusts because this is tiresome.

Beano
Did you know that Beano contains fish? I didn't. I was combining two bottles today and read the full label. I am not a vegetarian at this point (had been in the past for 10 years!) but I was still surprised.
Thursday
MIA yesterday. Got a surprise day of work so I got distracted. Made my reduced fat cheese sandwich with and handful of spring greens and mustard, a baggie of celery and three Claussen pickle spears. Oh man, that was a really good lunch/snack while doing mail route! I couldn't believe how good it was. Maybe I finally figured out how to make "fake" cheese edible.
I got home late and hubby wanted to go out so we tried a place we had never been to in all the 16 yrs. we have lived here. It is a bar too and before the smoking ban went through I refused to eat in those type of places. But now with the ban I can now try these places out.
I got the house burger and fries and at about 3/4 of it before feeling full. And there is the kudo. I actually felt full and satisfied. Not stuffed. Not empty. Something I struggled with for years. I could plow down a huge meal, sometimes even two and it took forever to actually FEEL full.
Maybe I haven't lost it totally.

Lunch
Today I went "hog wild" and made the Portabella burger that is in the new WW New Complete cookbook. It wasn't too bad despite a slice of onion, LOL. I thought ew but really, it wasn't overpowering. Only issue is the mushroom was releasing a lot of liquid. Maybe I needed to cook it longer?
It was only 6 points too.

Him, Me
Him: How was WW?
Me: Fine
Him: Did you hit your goal?
Me: What goal?
Him: I don't know.
Me: I'm still fat.
Him: Are you trying for a certain amount a week?
Me: This is only my second week, let me get used to it.
Him: I'm just asking.
Me: I'm just telling.
thinks: God, help me survive the diet police.
Before tonight he had no interest in my weight whatsoever. I suppose this is his way of "supporting" me, by drilling me every week. I just want to say you haven't cared for 22 years, why suddenly now? WHY NOW? To pressure me? I am so done doing things because of you. This is for ME, not you. So just shut up!!!!
Really, it PISSES me off!!!

Point Six
I lost point six. Good thing I ate dinner after. Should have gone to the bathroom beforehand, LOL. You know,all those tricks we do to make that number go down just a bit more.
But it is down. Good thing on PMS week.
Try again...

Thank You Everyone!
First off, a huge shout out to all my weight-loss peeps! Here is a huge virtual (((hug)))!!
Tonight is weigh-in. Wish me luck :).
This past weeks challenges included eating out away from home and dealing with a food pusher/unsupportive partner. Both I had success and failure with. The biggest difference was my mindset. In the past I would have just "celebrated" and let loose on what I wanted when out on my own, which I did on the way home and that backfired on me according to my gut. So, next time I may just not let my imagination of yummy not good for me stuff be so tempting.
As for the situation at home that has been a battle for years and is not going to change so I need to adjust myself. It is getting easier for me because in the past few years, with my children now adults and not needing me so much when it comes to meals I have been adjusting and even quit cooking for awhile because it was going to waste. I now have husband semi-trained to not expect meals so now I can start cooking to fit my preferences and needs. I personally am not a big meat fan (well, except for those damn Culver butterburgers...) so now I can shut my mind off to the typical American male fare of "lump o carcass" and potatoes. After 22 years of trying to create the latest "lump o carcass" he can now make his own and I can have what I want...a nice piece of salmon, chicken breast my way, poached cod, tofu and miso with rice noodles and spring onions. Yes, still meat but not "man" meat. My husband balks at these things, refusing to eat it. Well now rather than being offended I am free to create these without guilt!
As other's in my position have stated (and I suspect we are not alone), they wished their loved ones would take care of themselves better. I do too. I am so tired of the junk food route. My body and mind are craving real food, the process of growing it, making it, eating it, sharing it. Perhaps I can lead by example.
