Weekly Weigh in Wednesday





Ok, so for any of you who have been keeping up, this is only my second weigh in, and I've changed it from Monday's to Wednesday's, why? Cause I just plain forgot to do it on Monday. hehe

My previous weigh in was 215 lbs.

My current weight...212lbs

Total weight loss for the week-3 lbs!

Not bad for just completely falling off the wagon and really not trying!

Ok, so I haven't been trying, but I haven't TOTALLY been sabotaging myself either (well, until yesterday...Keebler cookies were on sale...Gabby HAD to have them! lol) Mainly I've been eating chili!
CHILI...I can hear the collective gasp now! Before Hubby left for his training we had a BBQ, we decided to make chili, and boy do we have leftovers! So since I'm the only one that is willing to eat it, I figured why let all that good food go to waste? It actually is a very high veggie recipe. It has a whole lot of tomatoes, and 4 different types of peppers. On top of all of that there are about 4 or 5 types of beans and of course your meats (which we used ground beef and churisso (spelling?) sausage). I'm assuming that I lost weight for one of two reasons. 1) I lost the pounds because of the way chili so lovingly flushes out my system... OR 2) My metabolism boosted itself because it got used to eating the same thing every day. This is sort of along the same lines as the Special K diet or to a lesser extent the slim fast diets.

In either case I'm just happy to know that I haven't gained any weight this week. I've been under and enormous amount of stress and have just put a load of responsibilities on my plate. So I guess even though I'm not able to get to the gym, I'm up and out of the house, so my body is still keeping itself busy?

Well, I hope to do better next week. I just need to get things organized here, and then hopefully I'll be able to start walking again.

Good job to all those who are working hard to loose weight! Keep up the good work!

I love chili! I put salsa and Morning star Farms Crumbles in it (soy beef substitute) and a package of lipton onion soup mix. It is wonderful! Congrats on the three pounds!

YES! Many congratulations!!!! You go, girl. :-)

Next time you have chorizo around, try Pa's recipe: chorizo and eggs. Or Egg Beaters. Either way, just scramble it all together. Wrap a serving in a whole wheat tortilla and you've got yerself a high protein meal that will hold you over. :-) Put some salsa on and dang, now that I think of it, you're on all the food groups. Drink with milk. LOL

Awesome! 3 pounds!

You know, chili is a VERY good diet food! It is not only a complete food, but the chiles and chili powder in it speed up your metabolism!

It's no surprise to me that you lost weight eating chili!

Keep it up!!!(O;

Sweetheart? I love you. But I will not eat chili. I will not eat chorizo either.
Congratulations on the 3 lbs.! I should probably start walking with Grampa again, but I'm too darned lazy, and too darned busy.
Love, Gramma
