Trying My Hardest!

Good evening Teaspoons! 

I'm at the end of another day of this weight loss journey and I keep telling myself "one day at a time" and "slow and steady wins the race". I'm not dwelling on the mistakes I made yesterday or the week before but instead, I'm looking foward to the days to come. 

I've had a great day today. I counted everything I ate and I feel great about it. I even drank the recommended 2 litres of water (which I almost never do)! 

Tomorrow, I'm going to lunch with a friend. I'm going to make the best choices I can at the restaurant and I'm already planing on eating a good, healthy, low in points salad for supper so I won't go over my point allowance. 

Hopefully tomorrow will go as well as today! 

Another Week, Another Loss.

Good Day Teaspoons! 

Another weight in, another loss! Yay! 

Lost a pound this week which really surprised me! Although I'm quite happy about the loss, I'm not happy about how I ate this week. I didn't count my points and didn't do portion control. 

This week, I vow to calculate and write down everything I eat. Even if I go over my points, I will still write it down. That's the only way I can be aware of what I put in my mouth. 

Soooooo happy coffee isn't any points!

So here's to another week towards a better self! 

All Moved In

Good evening Teaspoons!

I finally got the Internet at the new place hooked up! It's so pretty here by the lake! Can't wait for the good weather to get here so I can throw the kayaks in the water and do some exercise. Unfortunately, Mother Nature is not cooperating. We had another snow day today. So what did I do? I made a sugar pie... Like really? Why oh why do I make sugar pies if I'm trying to lose weight? And it's not as if I kept on track all week. Oh no sir! I had family visiting this weekend so we ate and drank (cuz that's what we do when we're all together). Therefore, I'm expecting bad results on the scale tomorrow morning. Hopefully this week, I'll keep to my guns and follow WW.

Here's a pic of me in the sun having coffee last Saturday (only day we saw the sun in the last week). 

Till tomorrow, keep tracking! 

Time To Hop Back On Track!

Good day Teaspoons,

I know, I know! I haven't been very present lately! I need a good slap on the hand! I'm super sorry about my absence and I won't be making any excuses today.  I'm even going to tell the truth: I've been going completely off track lately.  Since my detox, it seems like I just can't and won't control myself when it comes to food.  We had friends over last weekend and I bought a bunch of veggies and had my food scale out, ready to weight whatever I wanted to put in my mouth, but didn't use it. I'm the only one to blame.  I know better but I am just not doing what I know I should be doing, which is keep track of what I eat and exercise.

So weight-in day is just around the corner.  I know that   I will have gained quite a few pounds in the last two weeks because that's the price you pay when you go off track.  What to do now? I can either cry about it and feel bad about myself or use it as a new start and hop back on track.  I prefer the second option.  So here's to a new start! Ordered myself a salad for lunch today because frankly, I don't need to wait until weight-in to have a fresh start!

I will definitely write on here more often since you guys motivate me to make better choices and to continue on this journey.  I owe you all big THANKS because obviously, I can't do it on my own (the last two weeks are a proof of it).

Till tomorrow, keep your head high and hop back on track if you've also had a hard time lately.  It's NEVER too late!

Mister stress is here!

Mister stress is here and he's trying to push me off track! I'm in the middle of moving houses and there's so many things to think about that tracking seems to be the last thing on my mind! Crazy how life can sometimes trow you off your game! 

Good thing I have you guys to remind me to stay on track! Melissa wrote two comments in my blog tonight and it motivated me to write again after almost 5 days of absence! Thanks Mel! 

This said, I still wrote in my tracker what I ate but did eat little bites here and there and made some bad choices. At lease I recognize them and know what I have to change in order to continu to lose weight! 

We'll see tomorrow what the scale says! 

Till then, keep on exercising and tracking! 

Detox Day 3

Good day teaspoons! 

Third day of the detox. It was also weight-in day. I lost 2.6 pounds this week. I'm not jumpin for joy because I know that I will be gaining it again after the detox but that's ok. I'm feeling healthy and learning a new way to eat so that's good. It shows me that I AM capable of following a diet and staying on track! Here's my breakfast this morning! They were called "love pancakes"! Not bad for vegan food ;) 

Detox Day 4

Good evening teaspoons! 

Last day of the detox tomorrow! I have to say the truth and let you all know how tired I am of the tahini sauce I have to put in almost every dish. I can't even smell it anymore! Wish I knew what I could replace it with. Any ideas? (Tahini is basically a sesame butter). If you do, please leave them in the comment box below. 

On a brighter note, for lunch I had to make sushi but instead of rice, I used cauliflower and quino. It was really good! Here's a picture of it! 

I'm still happy that I'm following this detox to the T and am doing my best to stay healthy! Hope you are staying on track too!
