maintaining blog.

again with the missing me, i know!  had a wedding to attend, a mini-sleepover at my parents, a mini-sleepover at my house for my dude's birthday, then a shopping trip today with the sister and another sleepover at the parents house coming up now since the weather has been kinda iffy.

since i have some, have some birthday food pictures!

mandy with chris's birthday fruit and veggie tray!

isn't it so pretty-ful!?

funfetti and root beer cupcakes!  yes, i said root beer!

surprisingly, chris, mandy and i did really well on points yesterday!  the cupcakes were about 6 a piece (some of them were extra fat and some were extra small), the fruits and veggies were zero (but we had ranch and fruit dip, they were both about 2 pts per serving) and pizza from snappy tomato (cheese was 6 pts, buffalo chicken was 7).  i was totally full, but i did eat a couple extra slices of pizza with my remaining weekly points just to indulge in some pizza goodness!

i won't track at you today, i've actually had a really bad day points wise.  we went out to eat at buffalo wild wings and we didn't check the points of anything before hand since we weren't sure where we were going to eat.  turns out chicken tenders there are 5 points a piece and my meal had 6 of them!  i spread it out over two meals, but with our appetizer and the side of wedges i went over my daily points by 13!  D:

luckily, today was the start of the new week, so i have the weekly points to cover it.  chris works 8 hour days all week, so this is probably going to be our only day eating out, so it should be fine.

as far as weigh in, i've been maintaining the past couple of weeks.  if you've seen the numbers, i had a massive weight loss of about 8 pounds in a week, so i figured it would be pretty slow after that.  i also haven't been treadmill-ing everyday because it's been really hard on my knees and back.  i've taken the mentality of 'just keep busy', so i clean a lot, random iPod dance around the kitchen (when i'm alone!) and just trying to keep my mind occupied and away from food.  plus the cleaning gives me activity points too.  so it's all good.

love, tiffers.
