Weight Loss Wednesday
May 25, 2011
I lost 1.5 pounds last week for a total of 67 pounds. I've now lost 87 pounds from my highest (recorded) weight. I still can't believe that I'm 4 sizes smaller than I was in December. It just doesn't seem possible.Last week I discovered Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat Tortillas and I've had one almost every day since. The fajita size is 80 calories, 12g carb (of which 8g is fiber), and 3g of protein. These things are seriously delicious. I've been using them as a 'bun' for turkey burgers and the boca chik'n patties. They're working very nicely for me. Very thin so that I'm not filling the limited space in my stomach with bread, but enough so that I feel like I'm actually eating a burger. And I can eat with my hands! Sometimes you just want to eat with your hands and not use a fork. Anyway, I seriously love these tortillas. Check 'em out. My Nutritionist said these were great. You should confirm with your Nutritionist though as yours may have different guidance for you.
My mom has graciously agreed to go shopping with me on Memorial Day to get some new clothes. I bought a couple of things at Marshalls last week. I am probably one of the few women on the planet who does not enjoy shopping. I actually feel somewhat overwhelmed and would give up rather quickly if left to my own devices. So, this is a good thing that she's coming with me. I hope I find some great things. Not much else to report this week. We spent a long weekend in Santa Cruz this past weekend. My husband planned the whole thing by himself and he did a great job. We stayed in a nice little motel right on the bluff near the boardwalk. We didn't do a lot...DH ventured off to take some pics while I stayed behind to read my book (Rob Lowe's autobiography, FYI. My guilty pleasure). We listened to the waves, sat in the sun and listened to the seals barking. It was heaven. I'll post a few pics later.
I guess the other thing of note is that we decided that we are forging ahead with our trip to Europe this summer. My DH turned 50 this year and this was his birthday present. I paid for the airfare back in January (since we used points to upgrade to first class, we needed to book waaaaaay in advance), well before I found out I would be getting laid off because my company was being acquired. We've been going back and forth the past couple of months trying to decide what to do. The tickets are non-refundable so we couldn't get the cash back, but we could reschedule for up to 12 months. We decided to hell with it, we're going. I'm sure Suze Orman would be horrified by our decision. We don't have any credit card debt now so if I have to rely on Unemployment for awhile we'll be ok. So, now that we've decided we're going ahead with the vacation, this week has been full of research. I'm excited though and actually kinda relieved that we've made a decision, even if I'm not sure it's the right decision. At least now I can free up that brain space to think about other things.
How are you all doing?
