Cheap Baked Lays

CVS/Pharmacy this week has Baked Lays chips on sale for 2 for $5.00. That is an awesome sale. Usually they are on sale for $3.00 a bag! Yippie! If you don't have a CVS/Pharmacy around you check to see if any stores will price match. I absolutely love these chips! My favorites are the sour cream and cheddar and the bbq . YUM!

Pump up that temptation

I was reading about what one lady did with her Jell-O Temptations to make them a satisfying little dessert. She added cool whip, slice almonds, and some french twists. Then she said that you could even layer the different mousses together to get different flavors. That sounds interesting.


Thanks (robynsworld)

Jell-O Mousse Temptations

I bought these Jello-O Mousse Temptations, Chocolate Indulgence. I was expecting it to be very yummy and a snack I would be craving! But, instead I'm really not a big fan of them. They are sort of bland and I really do not like the texture. I read numerous other reviews and everyone seems to like them. So, I decided I better try another cup. Right now I'm sitting here eating another cup and I really don't see what the big deal is. Not a big fan of these little cups. If you do try them and you like them they only have 60 calories and are sugar free ....... WooHoo! Maybe these will grow on me?!

Week #8 Weigh In

This week at the end I was really focusing on the scale and getting weighed. But, Friday night I ate Denny's fried chicken sandwich and I think it caught up with me today! Yikes........I gained 3 pounds! OOooppps! Hopefully, this week I can lose those 3 pounds. I am thinking that they are just temporary weight and not permanent yet!

Week #7 Weigh In

Didn't Exist! LOL!

I'm Back

So, I took a good long break. I have been really busy these couple of days and I didn't focus much on my weight. The bad part is that I gained 3 pounds though. But, now I'm back and ready to push forward. Pretty sure that I didn't hit my goal for February! Darn! Oh well, it was a much needed break!

Week #6 Weigh In

Ok, so I am a little behind on this posting. This is from last Monday! Yikes. Well, I lost 2 pounds last week so I am at a totally of 13 pounds! Yay! That is only 1 more pound to go till I meet goal at the end of the month!

Only 1 Day Till S-Day

So, I only have 1 more day till I have to weigh in. I am pretty nervous this week, b/c I messed up not just a couple days.........BUT, the whole week! LOL! The scale never lies. I will have to exercise like a maniac tomorrow night!

Steamed Out

So, I pretty much steamed everything but the kitchen sink. Well, nope, can't say that b/c I steamed that too! LOL. I really liked this steamer. I did all my furniture and it just seems so clean and fresh. I especially liked it on the dog bed. However, I do like this little piece of machinery, and I really haven't used it on any heavy duty messes yet, but I do not think that it is worth the price of $79.99! So, I can't decide if this purchase is a win or a lose.

Shark Steam Pocket Cleaner

The other day I bought this Shark pocket cleaner. According to the box it is supposed to work like a miracle! HAHA! We will see. I'm excited to use it because I'm sort of a germ-a-phoebe person. It says that it will work on furniture and upholstery, sinks, toilets, counter tops, the range of the stove, and pretty much any where. I need to clean my blinds but I have been really to lazy to take them down and put them in the bath tub. So HOPEFULLY this little gadget will help me with that. I haven't used it yet but I'm anxious to plug it in and start steam cleaning everything! I hope it doesn't disappoint me!

Cupcakes - Made and Tried!

So I got all my supplies together and I made these cupcakes from Hungry Girl's free daily newsletter. (Go here for the recipe that was posted earlier) They turned out pretty good. I forgot to get vanilla extract so I didn't use any, but they still tasted good. The only thing that happened was that they caved in after they cooled. Not sure why. The frosting was different. I will have to get used to it. I had to add a little extra pudding mix to the cool whip to give it a little flavor. But, I'm just not sold on them yet. Yes, they are good, but I don't understand the calorie count. In the recipe it makes 9 and I made 12 cupcakes but still 164 calories per cupcake with all reduced everything in it. Not really buying it. I'd rather eat a frosted Lofthouse sugar cookie with 180 calories in it.

Ruby

Do any of you follow the show Ruby on Style? Tonight I watched an episode that was about her being in denial. I am not a follower of the show, but they really talked about some valid emotional points associated with weight loss and weight gain. I wasn't so much dazzled by Ruby or her attitude (haha! play on words) but I really enjoyed the speaker that was talking at her support group. It is nice to know that other people share most of the same thoughts as you do. Let me know if you watch and what you think about the show!

Totally Messed Up

Yesterday, I totally messed up. I ate so much bad stuff. I had chicken tenders, popcorn, Applebees Chicken Fajita Roll-up, and a side salad. I just couldn't stop eating. I was just so hungry. So, now I have to work on getting back on track. I feel like it is good for my journey to not avoid foods that I love and crave, but then in return it is so hard to get back on track after I mess up. It takes me about 2 days to get back on my eating routine again. Then, I feel like I have totally lost those days that I could have potentially lost. For example, today I have totally done horrible. I have not consumed as much calories and fat as yesterday, but I have still ate way too much.

I googled the nutrition facts for the roll-up and it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it is not good. It weighs in at 642 calories and 11 grams of fat. That does not include the sides of sauce I ate or the portion of French Fries I ate that came with the meal. YIKES! Now, onto the side salad. Jeez, I'm scared to know. Ok, well according to this website the dressing is included in the nutrition facts. So, it weighs in at 302 calories and about 16 grams of fat. Actually that isn't totally bad. Because their house salads are pretty big and you get a hearty portion of veggies, dressing, and toppings. Oh Well, it was good! I will just have to work harder!

Week #5 Weigh In

Only down 1 pound this week. But, I'm really happy with that. So far I have lost 11 pounds and I only need to lose 3 pounds for the month of February to hit goal. I know I can do it. I have to just keep motivated and keep my goal in mind!
