Get back up again

I'm getting way too behind on my blogging.

So I went to my WW meeting on Tuesday night and I had missed the one before then. Top it all off with not tracking, eating junk food for 2 weeks and little water and exercise and, you guessed it...i was up. Almost 3lbs. I was so frustrated with myself! I proceeded to mentally kick my rear the whole way home (pausing to stop at the grocery store and stock up on healthy stuff).

It's been a better week so far. Work has been super busy and I have been faithfully tracking everything that passes through my lips. I have 9lbs to lose in 5 weeks and I have faith that I can do it! I don't "have" to lose that much, that is just what I am pushing myself to do.

I promised myself that I would try new things to get me out of the same 'ol same 'ol veggie and fruit routine. That night I went shopping, I bought spaghetti squash for the first time. O.M.G. it is amazing!!! I cut it in half and microwaved it cut side down in about 1/4 cup of water for about 10-15 mins. Brought it out and shredded the inside with a fork. It pulls apart just like spaghetti!! I topped it with low cal margarine, some of my epicure spices and 1/4 cup veggie spaghetti sauce. it was to die for!!

Since getting back on track this week, I have been feeling alot better. My IBS had flared up again (that's what pizza and fried foods will do!) and thankfully is calmed down now. I have a few other new veggies to try, including asparagus (I've tried it before just not cooked it) and I've found some new great recipes I can't wait to make!

So, I'm reigning in that weight-loss horse and getting back in the saddle again. Think I'll duct tape my legs to the stirrups so I don't fall off again...
