Post- Face Smashing

Yup its been awhile and this time I have a really, really good excuse.

I passed out and landed on my face bruising the entire right side of my face and 6 stitches around my eye.

Yeah it hasn't been the best couple of weeks ever for this gal.

So here is what happened. My FSIL had her baby, and I was visiting her and the baby (9lbs 1oz!!) in the hospital. I had only been there for about 2 hours total. I was feeling ok then I went to sit on the edge of a chair. Apparently at this point I got up walked out of the room and passed out in front of the nurses station and landed on my face. Thus I was rushed to the ER b/c I had cut up my face pretty badly. I spent 3 hours in the ER and had to get parts of my face glued together and 6 stitches. They are still unsure why I passes out but it was probably low blood sugar. Very uncool.

Flash forward 3 weeks: my stitches are out, no more bruises and the doc did a great job b/c I dont really have major scars.

So back to life a usually. A welcomed change of pace.

Summer is in full swing in Milwaukee. Summerfest is here which is a hugh music festival. Think 11 days of pure awesomeness. The boy and I went on Sunday, and saw The Gufs and BB King. Had some cheese curds but also walked like 5 miles so it balanced out ;-)

I love Glee!

Seriously, I love Glee! I am sad it is over for the season but I love that they are playing re-runs on Thursdays! My bestie and I decided we were going to have to switch our date nights to Thursday now for the summer.

Today was rain-tastic in WI. I didn't run after work, and I ate 2 cookies, 1/2 a muffin and 4 oreo cookies. So basically I sucked it up with being OP today.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal prepared with Skim milk
1 apple
coffee with creamer

Snack:
1/2 commercially prepared chocolate chip muffin

Lunch:
Taco Bar- I did ok here.
1/2 cup shredded chicken with black beans on lettuce with tomatoes and salsa. Had a small side of refried beans and spanish rice

Snack:
2 M & M Cookies

Dinner:
Thin whole wheat spagetti with tomato sauce with 3oz chicken breast and 1/3 cup part skim rocacca cheese mixed in
1 bag steamed veggies

Dessert:
Light popcorn and oreos

Ok As I type this there is no way I needed to eat all this food. This is getting just silly now. I didn't get in my GHG, and I feel like crapola.

Hopefully, a terrible WI tomorrow morning this get my ass into gear. I feel bloated and nasty. I WANT TO BE ON PLAN.

To quote a Fellow WWer:
Sometimes being on WW is like getting out of bed on a cold morning. You don't want to do it, but you have to.

I just need to remind myself this.

moooovin'

Not me but the SIL. She is all moved into her new house and ready to pop out her first kid in about 2 weeks. :-) Exciting!

Foodwise. Didn't do well.

Had nachos, pizza, and cake on Saturday. Pizza was the moving lunch and nachos at the bday party. I was tired. Not going to lie. Did get in a light run and a bike ride though! Checked out the farmers market and it was fun but I didn't buy anything. Going to wait until payday before buying anything.

Sunday had mandatory family fun day at the base with DF and his nephew. Had some fresh fruit and veggies.... and a brat... and some popcorn... and some potato salad. I was utterly exhausted at this point and went home and cleaned up the kitchen.

Then the boy and I had corn on the cob (from my mom!) and turkey burgers... Good dinner right?! That was followed up by a gallon of low fat ice cream between the 2 of us. We were so tired we were in bed by 8:30pm.

My BF is super excited for the wedding and to be my maid of honor. It was worth the nachos and cake to see her!

Today:

Had training today with lunch provided. I tried to order fruit instead of fries with my chicken breast, and they said no special orders so I was given the fries. I was so embarrassed that I just ate the fries b/c I was hungry and didn't want to make a fuss.

Then I ran 3 miles today for 4 APs. I was tired and just made some apple pancakes for dinner.

Apple Pancakes

1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda and salt each

1 cup skim milk

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 egg

1tbsp vegetable oil

Mix together and pour onto hot griddle sprayed with Pam. Makes about 10 pancakes.

I ate them all. They were healthy until I scarfed them all down.

Tomorrow is taco bar Tuesday at work. (I am at a conference with provided lunch.) I actually have a plan with just having some rice beans shredded chicken topped with lots of lettuce, tomato, and salsa!

The boy works late today so I won't see him today. I cuddled on the couch with Lily the cat instead and watched a Mid Summer's Night McGivern on Milwaukee Public TV. He is a local actor who I have worked with before who is seriously so funny! He was the trolley driver in The Princess Dairies for a main stream reference.

Drowning

For all the wonderful things that come with being engaged, comes a lot of challenges. I am not talking about any real issues with the boy just dealing with how to manage my time and eating. I wish they would make a movie or book about the real world version with being engaged. How fun, positive, and excellent it can be to have a new family now but also how time consuming it can be.

I will admit it. I have been too embarrassed to post lately b/c I have been completely off plan. I haven't gone running in a week. Last night, the boy and I ate about our weight each in fried chinese food..... and I had the left overs tonight for dinner. Le sigh... It's like everything I knew/know about Weight Watchers has flown out the window. You would think that with a pending dress and big day that would kick me into gear but it kind of has done the opposite.

Honestly, I am stressed out about how the boy and I will pay for our wedding, a house, and frankly just the groceries this next week. (I have 47 bucks left in my bank account until next week payday) This is going to be interesting.

SO here is the plan:

1. Assess what food I have in the fridge. Make it work for the next week.

I know I need fruit, bread, and lunch meat for next week's lunches. (Or enough leftovers to bring for lunch.

I am going to take 10 bucks out of my acct and hit the farmers markets and try to get as much fruit as I can for 10 bucks.

I am going to make low fat wheat bread by scratch this Sunday or Monday for lunches. I have whole wheat flour and yeast. I can do this! :-) (Which I will include the recipe after I create it)

I have fixings for turkey burgers, and enough left over SF dressing to make another batch of pasta salad.

2. I need to work out. It is supposed to be rainy this week in WI so I need to pack some gym clothes in the car so I can go to the Y after work if it is raining. No excuses.

3. Need to take a step back from wedding planning/budgeting. It is really overwhelming to me.

Ok so hopefully this will get me back on track! I don't want to feel bloated and ashamed of what I have eaten. That is not who I want to be or how I want to live my life. Right now, I feel like food has total control over my life.

I will take a picture of everything I put in my mouth even if it is just string cheese because it will keep me accountable and on track. I don't care how crazy I might seem.

The cat's are fine. Bogart is as sweet as ever and well Lily... she loves RF oreo's as much as I do.

Plus she ate a frozen waffle I had out on the counter to toast. She chewed it up before I got back to it. She needs some Kitty WW.
