New formats...new ways?!?!?

I have made a new friend in weight loss and I am going to follow her lead. She has done an awesome job in losing weight and this year and she is my inspiration! She does this cool thing at the end of each of her blog entries and I am going to snatch it from her, if she doesn't mind. ;)

Here we go, starting over again, week 1:

Current Weight: 158
Weight loss so far: 0 pounds
Biggest Temptation: Brownies that my sister made this weekend
My treat: Tea and limeade (mixed) yum!
My best discovery: Thanks to the comments from the last entry, freezing soup!!

Off the Wagon

I am such a bad blogger these days. I have been out of touch with you all (all 3 of you who read my blog - smile). Anyway, bad news. I have not been watching what I eat. I have gained back 7 of my 10 lost pounds. Maybe part of it is PMS bloating, so I am hopeful. I know alot of it is stress. I have it coming from all directions right now. Back on topic ... A waste pipe was clogged for a week at our house and it meant that we could not use the dishwasher, kitchen sink, washing machine, or laundry sink. So that meant no cooking unless we wanted to do dishes in the bathtub. We opted for the minimal cooking approach, which meant that we were fast food junkies for that week. Mickey D's, Miss Wendy's Place, Taco Bell and Chik-Fil-A.... we did it all. Did I opt for the "healthy" routes? Nope, I got "the usual". Maybe it was good though. Now the sight or smell of fast food makes me want to puke. A week of eating it non-stop was too much. Once we got the sink fixed, I went out and got some fresh food. I grilled some boneless chops and made some cabbage and some rice. It was so good to sit down and eat something home cooked. My colon loved it too. I need to do some more cooking and package it up to carry with me through the day so I will not make bad decisions. I made another batch of cabbage last night to go with the leftover chops. Even better the second go round. Tonight is a no cook night though. I won't make it home until late. Anyone have a good quick tasty meal recipe they want to share? Something that is highly portable and can deal with sitting out half the day while I am in class. Pasta would be so easy ... I just don't need the carbs. *Sigh*
