Okay, so we've all kinda been slackin' on this, so I thought I would get it going again...so here it is...
I've been mentally berating myself for my one month of convalescence due to my knee being all silly, so I've been trying to get back on the horse in order to get back to some small part of where I was before and work on getting myself healthier...
Well I saw this in Jinny's blog and checked it out. I'm hoping that this is the motivation that I need to get back on the horse. And hopefully by doing this blog, I can work towards a tangible goal.
So, Day 1 is all about getting prepared for the challenge, my Daily Check List involves...
-Putting away the scale: Well, technically the scale is Jen's but I'm going to put it in the closet for the time being.
-Get rid of all diet/weight loss paraphernalia: I don't have any so this one is easy=Done!
-Purchase of create a workout/food journal: Easy, Done!
Gather all tools needed for the challenge: I have some bands and both the gyms I go to have all the fitness/weight/exercise equipment I'm going to need. Done!
-Plan your strength activities: I hadn't really planned on working out today but I will do a small band workout when I get home.
-Plan your cardio activities: Unless they have something different, I'll probably go for a walk when I get back to the apartment.
-Do you feel ready for the 30-Day Challenge: I hope so! let's kick this pig!
And that's it for Day 1-I think...Let's do it!

So...
Previous weight: 220 lbs
Current weight: 211 lbs
It's been awhile. It's been a little rough, I got down to 208 a week or two ago but have gained some of it back. January, so many birthdays, so much cake. February, so much valentine's candy and the dreaded Girl Scout cookie shipment just arrived. I work at an Elementary school and after some serious haggling with several very serious girl scouts, I agreed to buy 1 box per girl scout. So I've got quite a few thin mints coming my way, if anyone is interested. The sensible thing would be to donate/give them away. We'll see what happens. I've gotten one of my boxes and haven't touched it yet, though I did come home last night to Megan's awesome baking. So there was one cookie down for the count.
I feel like my eating habits are slipping out of control. Just have to, have to stay conscious of what I'm eating. As long as I'm aware, I think I'll do fine.

Ugh
Okay, so this whole weight loss thing is totally not working out. In fact, I think I'm getting worse. I've started having like indigestion and just some other weird things going on with my body, I think it's protesting.
Truth of the matter is, I haven't been on the weight watchers site. Half the time cause I'm not at work anymore and therefore going through my day at the end of the day ends up being tedious and oftentimes what I have eaten for the day isn't on the site and I really don't wanna create it. So call it lazy, call it what you will, it just is. I'm acutally pretty disappointed in myself for this.
Add to that the fact that I haven't been working out and my body hates me. I think my arms are jiggling more out of sheer protest. It's gotten so bad that I haven't been to Zumba in over a month. That's pretty much unheard of for me since I love that class so much.
Well, I can't make any more excuses. I have a new phone and it has internet access which saves my weight watchers page. So no more excuses about not remembering or not being able to access a computer. Now I have no excuses. I need to stop making them and get my ass moving.

Week 1 - Mel
Current weight: 220 lbs
In the spirit of the New Year (and my unwillingness to count), I've decided to start the week numbers over.
I actually managed to come out of the holidays still losing some pounds. I still don't work out as much as I should but I've really noticed how my eating habits have changed overall. I still can't say no to sweets but I can keep it down to one or two. That saved my ass big time over the holidays.
Today was the first real day back to work and it's back to really watching my food and making sure I'm eating a little bit every couple hours.

Week.........
Current weight-230
So yeah, been awhile eh?
I gave up. Not completely, because I was still running. But weight watchers and trying to control my eating, that went right out the window. Then I hurt my ankle or achilles tendon in some way or form so I can't run anymore.
I'm paying for this weight watchers thing, and I wasn't even using it for over two weeks. Not great money management at all.
I needed a kick in the ass basically. And I got it this weekend.
My cousin Jinny, who did the fabulous layout for our page, has done amazingly well on weight watchers. She looks absolutely amazing and she's almost to her goal and I'm so envious.
That was the drive I needed, to see the success right in front of my face, to know that it can happen. It can be achieved. Thanks Jinny, :)

Week 11ish - Mel
Previous weight: 231-233lbs
Current weight: 229
Oy, the past few weeks have been hectic as all get out. Went to Houston for Thanksgiving, moved into a new place with Meg, boy shenanigans, busy time for both jobs, etc.
Thanksgiving I really didn't do all that bad. I ate all the good stuff, had a slice of my aunt's pecan pie, drank my dranks... overall didn't go crazy though since I just ate a little bit of everything. Thanksgiving without a tummy ache, woot!
The thing I'm having trouble with now is that it's the holidays... I work at a well-to-do private school with well-to-do moms who love to bring homemade holiday treats for the staff. One mom brought this crazy molasses bar thing, just omg.
Here's to trying to go to the gym more often next week :P

Week 10?
Last Week: 225
This Week: 231
What...the..fuck? I didn't eat that much at Thanksgiving nor did I eat that much overall. I'm so freaking upset about this. I'm hoping it's only water retention, but I can't talk myself outta this one. And considering how much I've bene running and working out, I feel like I should have lost a lot, not gained 6lbs.
So frustrated.
A lot of good things have happened this week, so I'm not going to let that get me down. I'll just try harder this week. Here's hoping...

Week 8-late late
Sorry, this is way late, but mostly I didn't post because my weight didn't change. No ups, now downs.
Oh! And here's the recipe and picture from the Backed Mac N Cheese with Broccoli we made about three weeks ago.
2 sprays of cooking spray
12 oz of uncooked pasta, gemelli or some other twisted pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/8 tsp of salt, for pasta water cooking
10 oz. broccoli florets (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 tsp butter
1/3 cups bread crumbs
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cups onions (we didn't put any in here cause frankly I don't like onions, so we kept them out and the recipe was just fine!)
1 cup low-fat shredded cheese, cheddar variety
1 tsp Dijon mustard (we used honey Dijon, much better!)
1 1/2 tsp table salt
1 tsp pepper
Instructions:
1 Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees, coat a shallow 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray
2. Cook pasta in a large pot with freshly salted water. Add broccoli to water three minutes before pasta is done; drain and return to pot
3. Meanwhile, in a large sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat; add bread crumbs and cook, stirring often until golden brown (about two minutes), Remove from heat and transfer crumbs to a small bowl, stir in 1 tsp of Parmesan cheese and set aside.
4. In large saucepan (same one from above, just be sure to wipe it down), whisk together milk and flour until blended (here's where you add the onion); Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer til thickened, about 2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and whisk in cheddar cheese, mustard, salt, pepper, and remaining two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Pour over cooked, drained pasta and broccoli; toss and mix to coat.
6. Transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle on bread crumbs evenly. Bake until bubbly at edges, about 20-25 minutes. Divide into 8 pieces and serve. Each serving is worth 5 points.
We also added some grilled chicken, just give some protein to the mix. It was simple frozen grilled chickn strips from Target, easy and one serving is only two points, so all in all, this meal was pretty good on the points scale.
It was a hard recipe, especially with a really inferior whisk, but it turned out really awesome. I gave it an 8.5 =)

Week # ___
Last weeks weight: 237
Current week: 235
w00t! 2 lbs down!!! I tried really hard this week too! I was definitely tracking my points as if my life depended on it. Now if it will just carry over to this week. Sheesh.
I didn't post last week because I felt really lame. I didn't gain any, but I didn't lose any. I was stuck and I was really irritated that I was still at the same weight. Because of that set back I made sure this last week to be REALLY good about tracking points and not going over at all. I'm really proud of myself and what I've already accomplished. Since I started weight watchers I've lost a total of 10 lbs!!! It's great too because I can feel and see it in my clothing now. I mean, I'm still in the same size 20 but they are starting to get pretty saggy on me. Soon enough I will need to go and buy some new jeans and pants. I can't say I'm terribly upset by that. =] It makes me really happy to think that I'm only 15 lbs away from the weight that I was when I first started college. Sometimes 15lbs seems like nothing...and then sometimes I think of how long it's taken me to lose these 10 lbs and how I have had some difficulties. However I'm still really encouraged by the thought that no matter how long it has taken me, I've still lost it. So regardless of how long it takes me to get to my ideal weight I just need to be consistent and preserve through it until I get there. =]

Week 8 - Mel
Previous weight: 235 lbs
Current weight: 231-233 lbs
I weighed myself a couple times this morning and got both 231 and 233... so I dunno. I'm thinking of getting a new scale because mine is being shiesty. I get weights all over the place it seems. They're always within a 5lb range so maybe that's just natural body stuff.
Tomorrow is another workout with our trainer but Meg won't be there :( Last week, we got box with him and in the middle of it he would shout 'NECK!' and we'd have to grab him around the neck and pretend we were kneeing him in the face... yeah. And he was egging us on. "Break my nose!" It was intense, hilarious and awesome.

Week 8
Been two months, and so far it hasn't been that bad.
Last Week's Weight: 228
This Week's Weight: 229
Suck.
Oh well, I haven't worked out since Saturday and I've been going over and right at my points so I'm not too surprised. I AM working out today, even though my energy is kinda low, but I think that just comes with being over-worked and busy. So, time marches on and I'll continue working hard. I'm proud of all that we have accomplished so far, keep it up ladies! :)

Current weight: 237
Up a pound. Disappointed but can't be surprised. I should be happy that I didn't gain more than that considering I didn't track anything this weekend really. Still...I wasn't happy to see even an extra pound on the scale. I know what I need to do though so that's all there is to it.

Week 7
Current Weight: 235lbs
Woot, down to 2lbs so I think that's a pound a week? I could deal with that since I don't workout ever. BUT the three of us are going to sweat it out with our trainer again this week. I'm stoked and already a little bit achy at the thought of it. That first workout he did with us had me wishing I had a walker to help my jello legs.
Today, I did the tiniest bit of jogging for a walkathon fundraiser we had at work. Then the little girl I was jogging with stepped on a nail that on a board that fell off our playground equipment. Crazy stuff. So I bandaged her bloody foot up... then she got up and kept walking! I couldn't let her get more laps than me with a bloody nail wound in her foot, so I just kept on walking with her. It was pretty spiff. Not really a workout, but spiff.

Week 7
So today has already been a good day for a few reasons.
1) My pink eye is no longer contatgious so I can go back to work, yay for $!
2) Because I was quarantined yesterday, I went buckoo nuts over my homework and finished the majority of it, meaning I only have the Think Piece to write and done!
3) I didn't track my points yesterday, but since I wasn't all that hungry and didn't eat HORRIBLY, I know I kept within my points.
4) I weighed myself and found out....
I'm down four pounds! Woot!
Last week: 232.2
This week: 228.4
So not exactly four pounds, but I'm rounding down dadgumit!
Yay!
Good things will hopefully keep coming this week, Zumba today and tomorrow, working out with Chris, trainer awesome on Saturday and then having another WW meal and movie. I'm excited! The recipe we're trying for this Saturday is Baked Mac N Cheese with broccoli. I'm going to be a rebel and add grilled chicken though (I think it'll add half a point to a point on the meal, making it a 6.5 or 7 so still low!), yay! Pictures and recipe to come if we likey =)

Friday Night Dinner
Chicken Fingers w/Ranch Dip
&
Seasoned Fries
&
Seasoned Fries
Friday night Bri, Mel, Benita, and I made dinner. I found this recipe on the weight watchers website and told the girls that we should give it a go. Here are the ingredients.
- Cooking Spray
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless, chicken breast
- 1 Tbl spoon of Dijon Mustard
- 2 1/2 packets of uncooked, instant oatmeal
- 2 tsp garlic herb seasoning
- 1/2 table salt
- 1/4 black pepper
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch fries
- 1 Tbls Creole seasoning
- 1/2 cup fat free ranch
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Coat chicken strips with mustard. Combine oats, garlic herb seasoning, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dip chicken strips in oat mixture and turn to coat; place chicken strips on prepared pan.
- Arrange potatoes around chicken on pan; lightly coat both with cooking spray. Sprinkle potatoes with Creole seasoning.
- Bake, flipping once, until chicken is cooked through and both chicken and potatoes are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve chicken and potatoes with dressing on the side. Yields about 3 ounces of chicken, 1/2 a potato and 2 tablespoons of dressing per serving.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
I have to admit that I was a little hesitant to try this recipe (and to be honest...any recipe I find on here I'm probably going to be weary of) just because chicken fingers are something that I LOVE. Chicken Fingers with Texas toast and some gravy and fries man oh MAN! However I was pleasantly surprised at how good this chicken tasted. The oatmeal after being baked gives the same kind of crunchiness that you would get when eating the fast food chicken fingers. The one thing I would suggest with the fries is to coat the potatoes in vegetable oil. When they are baking it helps to make the potatoes cook faster and to be more crunchy, but the ones that we ended up with were still just as good. I was kind of a wimp though with that Creole seasoning. It was a little spicy for me...I would have to be very conservative with that seasoning for myself....I'm a wimp I know. Out of 10 I would definitely give this meal a 7. I enjoyed it A LOT and it was way easy to whip up. Combined with good company it made for a GREAT night! I'll let the other girls give their rating for the meal. I have one day left before weigh in day...I'm a little nervous about this one because I've been too lax in my tracking and I've eaten a lot more. I'm hoping that I'm over-exaggerating the eating in my mind and if nothing else, I've stayed at the same weight. Here's to hoping!

Week 6
Weight= 232
No gain and no loss, so not too bad.
I re-joined weight watchers, just the online one this time, not the stupid meetings thing. That was just awkward and then having to get weighed at the beginning and having someone have that judgment in their eyes if you were up or down. No thanks.
The online one is going okay. Today has been a complete wash almost. We had a Halloween thing at work where I dressed up and all that and in the spirit of things I think I might have overeaten. Not sure by how much, but anyway, back on track tomorrow. That's all that matters, is getting back on it and not giving up.
I didn't run at all this week. And considering I'm going to attempt to run a marathon in December...not so great. Well half marathon, but still...I need to run more. I have good and bad weeks. Sometimes I'll have a week where i run three times and week, and then ones like this week where I'll run none. Crazy.
Cooking with Meg, Mel, and Benita-doing a weight watchers recipe. It smells good, but we shall see. If not, then the number for Pizza Hut is handy :)

Eh, another week.
Previous weight: 238
Current weight: 236
Weight Loss: -2 lbs
It's definitely no 4 or 3 lbs but it is something and I can't be upset by it. Today I felt like I had just TONS of points left over after lunch! I had my slimfast in the morning, for lunch I had a lean cuisine meal with a salad (the ranch and croutons of course have been accounted for). I still had a very fulfilling dinner and since I had the points left over I definitely had some ice cream (ww ice cream)!! OOooo it was so yummy. I'm going to try and be a lot better this week though (Friday I went out with a friend from high school and had a little much to drink and used quite a few points). However this week I plan on being more conservative with my points so I can have a bigger loss for next week! Until then!

I told me so
Current Weight: 237 lbs
Yup, still the same weight. It's discouraging but not unexpected. Last weekend was the TX/OU game with Briana's family in Ft Worth. Lots of yummy (but nono) food and beers. Bad Melanie!
I've gotta get better at working out. I'm thinking it'll get better in the next couple weeks. We have decided that Briana is going to be the trio's official personal trainer, I'm the trio's accountant, and Megan is our stylist.
Meg and I also applied for our apartment together finally! We move in towards the end of November. The complex is awesome and has a 24/7 fitness center that I can't wait to use.
