This is what I used this evening to get the 2 feet of snow off of my garage, and the back end of my house...I live on a hill, so the roof is REALLLLY high, we had extension poles, all sorts of butch things. Then we had to rig another contraption to loosen the snow that has frozen, so that we could then rake this off. This is all because of the 4 feet of snow we've gotten in the last month, and the horror stories I keep seeing on the news of peoples roofs collapsing under all the weight...OH, did I mention we're getting 10" more tomorrow? And then a wicked awesome ice storm the next day. Hence the manic roof raking that was done tonight by myself and my husband.
All of this left no time for the gym. So I raked my roof, chipped ice, made dinner, and paid our monthly bills. Now I'm wishing I had a bottle of wine to wash it all down. That would be amazing.
So tomorrow, I will go to the gym, weather permitting. This winter is not conducive to my exercise plan, btw!! I'll also make good choices with what I eat, and track every single stupid point. Yep, Monday bitterness, in full effect over here!!!
Have a great Tuesday lovely ladies, I know I'm crossing my fingers :)

5 thankful things...
A roof over my head during this bitter mean winter
Enough money to pay my monthly bills (THIS IS HUGE, BTW!!)
My Uncle Bert, he's so awesome. I love him so much!
A car that is relatively new, that will get me where I need to be.
HEAT. I love having heat, and I'm OH so thankful for it.

The HULK
So today I went to work. Mind you, aside from the Dr on Friday I have not left my house since Wednesday...
The parking lot at my Sunday job has not been plowed once in the last 4 feet of snow it's accumulated. It's F'n crazy, and I'm a New Englander that does not drive some crazy giant 4 wheel drive beast, I drive a Scion. A Scion that got stuck in the snow; in the middle of the lot. I had to go into my place of business, get a shovel, and shovel my car out so that I could park it. Did I mention that I am just now trying to recover from the flu? While shoveling I had visions of myself, turning into the Hulk, picking up all of the cars in the parking lot, hurling them down the street in a fit of rage, screaming "THIS SNOW, THIS FU#KING SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep Breath, centering spirit. I got my car unstuck, parked it, and did my job of making cookies and sandwiches for people enjoying the day off.
I am going to attempt the gym tomorrow. Just to walk, I won't go crazy as I'm still recovering. I don't have a fever anymore, but I'm certainly not feeling great yet. I just need to get moving again. I feel like a blob. I feel fat and bloated. Is this really what not working out for a week and eating too many carbs does to me? Yes, yes it does.
So I'm excited to get back into the swing of things, getting better, and staying healthy.
Thank you all for blogging, for giving me something funny and inspiring to read, and honestly, something to look forward too :)
Loves to all you lovely ladies!!
OH, and 5 things I am thankful for:
My husband. He offered to come dig my car out and deal with all of it this morning when I called him in a fit of rage. He's a smart and kind man. He heard the HULK in my voice.
My dog, he makes me happy every time I look at him.
My house, it's small, but I really love my home.
My bathtub, it's claw foot, deep, and oh sooo dreamy!
My Job, even though sometimes it's lame, I work with people who honestly make me laugh. I LOVE to LAUGH.

Flu Feeding Frenzy
Hey Ladies,
I'm still Typhoid Mary, I finally went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with the flu. So exciting, because there is nothing that can be done with the flu. I never get an illness that can be cured with medicine, I am the queen of viruses.
So, one thing I've been paying attention to while wallowing in illness and misery (I am a total dramatic baby when I'm sick btw) is that all I want to do is EAT. Why can't I be the person who comes back from an illness and be down 5lbs?! Because I am a fat girl, who eats out of boredom and feeling sad. I know that I feed myself to make myself feel better...This is not the recommended thing to do for the flu. Mind you, I don't have an appetite per say, just wanna eat. I'm trying to be reasonable, and I am consciously eating, so that is a plus at least. I am also tracking all of it, no matter how ugly it gets.
The worst part is that I can't work out, I get dizzy standing up for lords sake, but exercise really is my anti-depressant/anti-anxiety. I did manage to stretch last night, and I'm going to give a whirl again tonight.
On the bright side, I've been researching culinary schools to go to, this is my dream when my financial life is a bit more stable....
That's it for me today, I've missed blogging with you ladies. I hope I feel up to again tomorrow. I have been reading all of yours, and it's SO great to have all of your company :)
Loves to you all!!!

Meditative Meaning
I know we've all joked about being nicer people as one of our resolutions, and, well, you can add me to the list. Tonight, I did't work out, because I forgot it's Monday and this is my cleaning/prepare for the rest of the week night. Which I did! My house isn't spotless, but I wouldn't be horrified if someone stopped by un-annouced, and I made a ton of Veggie Tofu Fried Rice for dinner, which will also be lunch for the rest of the week. Awesome, and so very yummy!
In addition to being a domestic goddess tonight, I also meditated for awhile. My intention during meditation, visualizing love, compassion, openess, and honesty for some people I work with that are really causing me upset. This may sound stupid to some, but I do believe that people who are difficult, mean, or unlikeable are that way because they don't recieve enough love in their lives. So I try and send them some during meditation. It's difficult, but it works, and it makes me feel better too. I'm not going to let them bring me down man! This is not something I have been able to master being open to on a daily basis, but when the mood strikes, I take advantage.
Tomorrow, I will have a better day. I will be happy at work, I will eat sensibly, I will be mindful of how I talk to people.
I know you all will have a great day tomorrow!!

Hello my name is Eatie McEaterson
CAN'T. STOP. EATING.
Yesterday and today I have blown through me extra weekly points. UGGGGGG. I haven't touched the my 'Activity' points yet, and I'm going to try really hard not too! I've had a weekend of back sliding and I'm not very pleased with myself. Nothing crazy, no bingeing, just snacking, snacking and more snacking. I feel lousy.
I know that my eating has some sort of emotional link, but I can't pin point it yet. I won't give up on my quest to figure it out though. This was and is my goal for the year, to crack the code with my food issues. I know a lot of it has to do with being raised with a skinny sister, and constantly being compared to her. My Mom telling me I can't have a certain food, telling me, I'm not as lucky as my sister, she can eat whatever she wants, but I have to watch my weight. Mind you I was about 10 when this started. I'm not mad or resentful with my Mom, she is a kind soul who would never have said those things if she really understood the impact of her words. But they were said, they sunk in, and I know that this is really the root of the issues I have. However, I'm still trying to figure out what triggers my need to eat things that I shouldn't, to eat too much, and then to hate myself for it. It's a really ugly cycle. Thankfully this has been the first time since I joined WW that I've felt this way.
The good news is, I spent my day off doing some things I love. I went to a very theraputic yoga class, I had brunch with my Bestie, at a delicious restaraunt, and even though I wanted the portabello eggs benedict, I ordered the veggie egg white omlette instead. :)
Today at work it was slow, and in turn I snacked WAY too much. I tracked everything, facing the awful truth.
Tomorrow I will make good choices for myself, I will look at it as a new day to right the wrongs I brought to myself this weekend, and I will excerise...because I feel guilty.
Cheers to a happy peaceful Monday my FT sistahs!

TGIFF
So I totally blew my points today. But I knew that I would, and I planned for it! Not on anything amazing mind you, I had a dinner meeting at a clients house, who also happens to be my husbands cousin. Because in addition to working two regular jobs, I'm also doing a design gig on the side, OH, and did I mention I also make cakes and treats for my own business I'm trying to start up?! Yeah, I'm kinda busy....
Anyway, I ate as well as I could earlier, staying way under my points all day, knowing that I really didn't know what dinner would be, and being my mothers daughter, you NEVER turn down a meal someone has prepared for you, especially when they took your vegetarianism in to account. So I ate pasta, bread, salad, and dessert...Luckily it was all good, and I took appropriate portions of all. Not that huge of a milestone on portion control, as I normally don't pig out in those situations, it's alone in front of the TV, or at my favorite restaurants that I have the real problem to conquer. But alas, tonight I did good, and the most important part, I tracked everything...
So I'm worn out. It's been a long grueling week, and tomorrow, my one day to sleep in I've decided to do a 10:00 am yoga class, then brunch with my good friend. I know it's something I need to do, and in the long run, I'll feel better from doing that than sleeping in and being lazy. Next week, I'll be lazy.
So until tomorrow, may you all have beautiful, healthy Saturdays :)

CAUTION: Explicit Language
Well, here I am, sipping on a cocktail, reflecting on my day. It was a day that made me need a drink...
I will not bore you with the details of work, only that sometimes my boss is such a Fuc*&%#&$king idiot it kills me, the shit he expects, the lack of reality in his thought process, I don't know why I let it get to me. Well, I know a little, that the stupid ass decisions he makes could potentially make my life really crazy. However, work is always crazy, it is always overwhelming, and normally I just roll through it. Most of the time I can say "whatev man, I'll do what I can, and you'll give me a paycheck...no skin off my ass..." Today was not one of those days. I let it get the better of me, I got pissed off, and let it get it to me. I get so dissapointed with myself when that happens. I am a crazy emotional girl, and I am always trying to reel it in a bit! Blaaaaahhhhhhh, enough of that.
The good news, I did not reach for a bag of chips or eat a whole cake, I went to the gym and worked out ferociously to the point of near collapse. I had a nice shower, and now I'm having a cocktail. AND I'm tracking it.
I also had someone come up to me at work today and ask me if I was losing weight, that I looked good. I almost let some sarcastic response fly out of my mouth, but instead collected myself, and simply said "yes, thank you!" This is a huge deal for me, as I am horrible at recieving compliments or positive feedback of any kind, it makes me so uncomfortable!! WTF?
So tomorrow is a new day. I will drive to work in the snow, yes, more snow is coming, and I will control myself during my meeting, I will not give a flying shit what my boss says, because in the grand sceme of life, it really doesn't matter.
Good night ladies. T G I F F !!!

-1.2 lbs. = L.A.M.E.
Okay, so I lost 1.2lbs this week, I was not feeling hopeful for another 4 lb week, but 1.2 lbs?! F'N LAME man!
On the brighter side, I think I know what happened...
I only worked out 2 of my normal 4 days...That had to count for something right? I went to a party on Saturday night, and snacked too much. Those chips and dips, they get this over-eater every time! Other than that I was good. SOOOOO, I went to the gym after my weigh in and meeting and cycled my buns off. Actually, my buns are still there, in fact, I have pretty serious buns for a white girl. Even though I'd like them to be a bit smaller, I'm still pretty proud of it. My husband tells me I have a 'bangin' booty'...
Anywho, enough about my booty.
This week I am going to dedicate myself to a perfect week. I will exercise 4 days this week, I will do this even if it snows and I am housebound. I have a HUGE struggle working out at home, I'm a person who needs the gym, no distractions to do anything else but exercise. I need to figure this one out and stick to it.
I'm trying really hard not to be down on myself about this low number, I mean, after all, I still lost something, I just really wish it was more.
I cannot wait to feel more comfortable with my physical self. I want this so bad. I'm so sick of being fat and ashamed.
Tomorrow, I will have another successful day. I will eat mindfully, and I will exercise and work hard to get the body I dream of.
Love to all of you ladies!!

Hey Winter, F U !!
Today left something to be desired. Being pelted with ice rain first thing this morning while trying to dig out my car from yet ANOTHER snow fall did not help start the day a good note, that's for sure.
Work has been really draining, soul sucking if I may, which always makes me want to eat like crap. But I didn't! I was a good girl all day...then I made oven baked sweet potato fries for myself for dinner, I ate too many of them and now I have a belly ache...I haven't been this kind of full/uncomfortable since I started WW, and I have to say, I didn't miss it! Oh well, lesson learned, and at least I still stayed within my points.
Since the weather was so horrible, and after chipping my car out the solid block of ice that froze around it while I was at work, all while in the pooring, freezing rain, oh, did I mention I forgot my gloves?! Yeah, FML today, that was the general mantra. I opted to not go to the gym tonight, I just could not face another bought of scraping off my car, being freezing cold and dealing wih frozen windsheild wipers...I just couldn't do it!
Good news, tomorrow it's not supposed to snow, a little bit of rain, I can handle that!
So tonight, I am going to meditate on a better happier tomorrow, I am going to sleep peacefully and wake up feeling Gallant.
Peace, love, and WARMTH to you all!!

UREKA
I made a Thai Chili tonight, for my lunch for the rest of the week, and it is SO good! It's 8 points per serving, but SO worth it because it's going to keep me full for a LONG time. I walked to the vending machine at work today 3 times for a snack, dollar in hand...and each time I turned around, leaving empty handed. Deciding I didn't really need a snack, I just wanted a distraction from what I was doing. UREKA!
My husband and I finished cleaning the house today after work. Got done at 7:00...Well, I stopped at 6:30 to start dinner, which thankfully I had some frozen taco fixins for him, and I grilled up some shrimp for myself and we had a left over taco night.
I'm feeling good today, satisfied and calm, a good place to be. I'm of course nervous about my weigh in this week, I'm not sure if that will ever go away. I have an insane fear of stepping on the scale and somehow gaining weight. Stupid I know, but it haunts me.
So here's to a healthy tomorrow!! Hopefully I can go to the gym, weather permitting, I'll be able to get a class in.

Ooops! I forgot to blog!
How am I so busy on my one day off a week I can't manage to remember to blog? Holy cow that day FLEW by, and now I sit here getting mentally ready for Monday. My Sunday job is easy breezy, it's the Monday - Friday one that has me on the verge of losing my mind most days.
So there's not much to say, other than I need to figure out how to clean my house, have a day off, and NOT have it happen on the same day. I am a lady who needs a day off, to do nothing, to watch stupid movies, maybe shop, go out to eat, just chill. For the last few months this has not happened, AT ALL! So, here's my plan since I can afford a maid. My husband and I will clean our house top to bottom, Monday's after work. I know, this makes Monday even worse than before, BUT, it's the one day I never have social plans, I don't want to go to the gym, I've shopped for food, everything else is a-ok. So, I'll let you know how this goes...I hope it's good, because I'm in dire need for some downtime.
Today at work I had my yummy cheese sandwich and cookie :) Oh how I love Sunday's, just for that!! I made fish tacos for dinner, yummmmmy too!
So no workout tomorrow, but I'm sure my housework will burn some calories, considering the amount of dog hair tumble weeds are rolling around right now! I will of course continue to track what I eat and make smart choices.
I love you ladies, I think you are all amazing, powerful, witty, hilarious, inspiring women, and I COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!

Well, I'm not that short, but I am pretty sweet, unless you cross me or my loved ones...Then, The Gallant, comes out, and I'll tear your face off. Sweetly.
Anywho, on to my day. I had a shit day at work, but I did confront my boss for pissing me off, and that went over pretty well, so it wasn't all bad.
I was a good girl all day, stayed far below my points all day because I knew I was going out to dinner. Went to a yummy burger place, and my vegetarianism saved me from myself. The veggie options aren't so amazing there, even though my dear Alisa would disagree, it ain't my thing. So I ate, got quizzed about being a vegetarian, and left some food on my plate. Seriously people, I don't eat meat, this is not a new concept. Apparently I'm finding plenty to eat, seeing as how I'm fat and all...I'm not starving from the lack of animal in my diet....
So tomorrow, I'm going to try my hardest to go to the gym, or at least work out at home. Saturdays are hard for me to get motivated, it's my only day off, and all I want to do is lay on my sofa. We shall see...
I'm so proud of all of you, for being honest, for being your amazing selves, and I LOVE the bond I have with my FT sisters!!
Until Tomorrow

Losing to find happiness
Hey All!
So I went to my weigh in today, I did not attend the foreign meeting, for that would impede on my Spinning Class and that was not an option for me! Sooooooo, drum roll please....
I LOST 4 LBS THIS WEEK!! OH, HELLLLLLS YES!
I was so happy and excited about this, I wanted to hug the lady across the counter, but I restrained myself, acted totally cool, like, yeah, this happens every week, whatev.
So, I guess it pays off to shovel snow on your snow day instead of eating cookies. Huh. Who would've thought?
My goal tomorrow, is not to 'reward' my weight loss with binge eating. I've done this, and it's proven to be unsuccessful. So tomorrow, I will continue on the path I have been on for 2 weeks now. I will track what I eat, I will be responsible with my choices when I go out to dinner tomorrow night, and I will make sure that I make smart decisions because I will not be working out tomorrow.
Thank you ladies for keeping me afloat on hard days, for cheering me on, and for being the best support system a girl could ask for.
Cheers to a great Friday and happy, positive thoughts about ourselves, no matter what the day brings. You are all amazing in my book!!

Snow Day
I'm so thankful for today. I finally had a day off with my husband, this hasn't happened since Christmas...
We shoveled together, cleaned and organized together, all sorts of fun stuff. lol!
I couldn't go to my weigh in today, because WW was closed due to our snow storm here. We got 22" where I live, the next town over got 30"!! Crazy stuff here in CT!
Now the biggest question is, should I wait till next Wednesday to weigh in? Where I like the meeting and I'm comfortable? Or should I do the weigh in tomorrow and skip the foreign meeting? What's a girl to do??
I earned 6 activity points for shoveling today, and I worked on my meditation room, which is still a work in progress, but getting there! I need to by some plants...
I resisted the urge to eat all day by staying busy. This is first snow day in YEARS that I haven't baked cookies. Instead of baking cookies and eating them, I shoveled snow.
Cheers to a productive and healthy tomorrow :)

Food; The Monkey on my Back
Today was a hard day. I did what I needed to do, tracked what I ate, went to the gym, blah blah blah....
I'm just being a negative nelly, and as expected, I'm having a grumpy day about having to track everything I eat. Today, I wanted to eat and eat and eat, and pretend it didn't happen.
Tomorrow is a snow day, no work, cause I don't fuck around trying to be hero driving in a blizzard to design room settings, HELL NO! What I will do with my day off: I will spend part of my day in reflection, trying to get to the bottom of my issues with food. I will blog tomorrow about those reflections, because, it's time to get to the bottom of this bullshit!!!
Have a great night, and again, I am SO thankful for all of your support.

WipeOut
I'm so tired today! I got to bed early and everything last night, I've just been dragging ass all day. My gym buddy had to reschedule with me, which was totally cool, since I hate going on Monday's. Tomorrow is Spinning, which I love and I'm always excited about :)
I ate really well today, except for the cookies I had, stupid cookies!! Oh well, as long as I track them and hold myself accountable for them, it's all good.
Well ladies, it's short and sweet today.
I'll chat with you tomorrow.

Cooking Machine
Hello Ladies!
Well, I went to work, had my sandwich, made cookies all day, ate one, only ONE of the cookies, all in a all, a pretty good work day. I love my part time job, I get to bake, which is my true love, and I don't have any of it in my house to try and avoid eating. Perfect for me I tell ya!
I came home from work, made my breakfast and lunch for the week, portioned it all out, I'm all set! It's such a good feeling :)
Tomorrow I'll be going to the gym, I know, I hate going to the gym on Monday's, but my bff and work out partner can't go on Friday, so Monday it is!!
I'm still within my points for the week and have earned a whopping 45 activity points so far, pretty awesome, I won't use them though, I consider it money in the weight loss bank.
I'm going to finally relax for the night. Blog with you tomorrow ladies! xoxo-Gallant

Saturday is Success!
OMG, first time ever I stayed at home all day and didn't eat like a wild fat animal! Weekends and nights are and always will be the hardest time for me and food. I over eat for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is boredom/feeling lazy.
I've so far stayed well under my points today, I'll be making those lovely pita pizza's Theresa recommended for dinner, and I'll be skipping cocktail time for the night, being the DD for my husband when we go over to our friends house later.
I'm working my second job tomorrow, and I'll be treating myself to a lovely cheese sandwich. I work at a Bistro every Sunday, making sandwiches, soups and cookies all day. Luckily I'm too busy all day there to really eat much, I always end up eating half a cheese sandwich while standing up in between customers. Oh and all of the bread is fresh baked in house, and there are countless delicious cheeses, so this is no lame cheese sandwich, it is GOOOOOD! I will of course track it, and count it towards my day.
My Yoga class was cancelled today because of the snow, MEGA BUMMER, but I actually ended up burning more calories shoveling my driveway, walkway, and sidewalk (my back hates me right now) so at least I got some fitness in.
I'm roasting veggies right now, for my lunches for the up coming week. I did this last week and it helped me tremendously stay on track.
I'm going to go stretch my sore back and get ready to see my bff's.
Much love to you ladies! xoxo - Gallant

Danger: Bored & At Home
This is a dangerous place for me to be. At home and bored. My favorite thing to do when I'm bored?? Eat crap food. I should do a productive project, lord knows I have tons to do, a messy house and endless half finished things lying around. But I don't want to do any of it. Tonight, I want to sit here, on my sofa, mindlessly browsing the Internet, being nosey on FB and well, I want pizza. I won't be having pizza, but I want it.
Today was a pretty uneventful day, we are getting lots of snow as I type, getting home from work was a doozie. Tonight I will make a lovely healthy dinner for myself and my husband, I will take a long hot bath, and I will meditate. If I feel like snacking tonight (seriously, when do I NOT want a snack?!) I will have some air popped popcorn and some carrots. I promise :)
Tomorrow, I'm going to my favorite Yoga Pilate's fusion class in the morning, yay!
Happy Friday Night ladies!! xoxo Gallant

Jelly Bean Beat Down
So today at work, someone brought in one of my ultimate seducers today. They are called "Honey Hearts" They are amazing, natural, jelly beans made out of honey, in the shape of hearts that are flavored like Jelly Belly's. NOW, mind you, there is always crap at work to eat, someone is always bringing in trays or bags of something. The only thing that keeps me from eating all of this crap is that I am a food SNOB. I make amazing cupcakes, that are not good for you in any way, there are piles of butter in them, but they are quality. Put a hostess cake, or boxed cake in front of me, I'll decline it. BUT these lovely little honey heart shaped beauties made me indulge, 8 stupid points worth...
SO, because of these, I did not stay within my points range...failing one of my goals today. HOWEVER, my work out, driven by the guilt of eating these jelly beans, earned me an extra 14 points! Yeah, that's right, I work my ass off at the gym :) I'm an animal on the bike.
My other goal, of looking in the mirror and admiring, did not happen. I did the usual thing after I got out of the shower, avoided eye contact at all costs. I've really become a master at this. I will try again tomorrow to find the courage.
TOMORROW
I will work out, I will make an amazing and healthy dinner for myself and my husband, I will TRY to revisit the mirror.
Love you ladies, Goodnight! xoxo-Gallant

The Road to Success
This is the one I'm on, since I lost 2.2 lbs this past week...OH YEAH baby. Oh, and I got my monthly gift today and I'm bloated as hell, so I'm telling myself next week will be even more successfully, once I'm not retaining a kiddie pool full of water.
I think I'm getting that hang of this record what you eat thing, and the importance of it, even though sometimes I kind of resent it. Like when I walk down the chips aisle to grab some diet soda. Yeah, I stop and gaze at kettle cooked potato chips like they're an old lover I broke it off with...after all, they kind of are. We may be able to get together again someday, but I'm still not strong enough to be trusted in that abusive relationship.
The most valuable thing I took away from my meeting today, was a negative nelly, sitting next to me was complaining about having to write down and calculate everything she ate, pissing and moaning about it really. She then asked the meeting leader how she can stand doing it after all of these years, and this is what she said...
"Because I'd rather write down and calculate everything I eat than crying in a dressing room ever again."
This resonated with me, because, honestly, as lame as it sounds, I have cried countless times in dressing rooms. So ashamed by my reflection, so sad that I couldn't wear the cute outfit I found because it wasn't in my size, or just looked ridiculous on my over weight body.
Wasn't it Oprah who once said, "Nothing tastes better than being skinny"? I think she may be right.
Tomorrows goals:
Stay within my daily points
Earn extra ones by working out (just in case I want to get a little wild this weekend ;)
Try really hard to admire the reflection in the mirror. This is the hardest one.
Lots of love to you ladies. I truly couldn't do this with out you. You're all so amazing.

Let the Nerves begin!
I am nervous for tomorrow. Tomorrow I have my first weigh in at WW at I am terrified that the number on the scale won't change. It might sound silly, since I've been blogging about staying within my points, and exercising the past week, but I have a history of trouble losing weight. This last summer, I joined a boot camp, intensely worked out 4 days a week, AND became vegan. I lost inches and a pants size, but I did not lose a pound. Not ONE. I know this should not matter if the size is declining, but I'd really like to step on the scale and not see a 2 in front of the other numbers anymore.
So my goal for tomorrow...
After my weigh in and meeting, no matter what the result is on the scale, I will go to the gym, as planned, and I will eat a balanced meal for dinner within my points range. I will break the cycle of being disappointed by my diet results and then falling off the wagon all together.
Lastly, I am so proud of each one of us, for being honest, for being dedicated, and giving ourselves some much needed love!

Work is good for something other than a paycheck...
Work is good for my food goals, because I have a controlled feeding schedule. I cannot graze all day like I can at home. The other reason being that I pack my breakfast, lunch and snacks everyday, and believe me, my food is WAY more appetizing than the food at work, even if it is super healthy. I stayed within my points today, a little under actually, so I can enjoy a snack later on!
As for working out, I like to take Mondays off, mainly because the gym is packed on Monday nights normally, and I can't even imagine what that place looks like with all of the resolutioners tonight! Honestly, as much as I deeply love some people, I really don't care for the general public. So, instead of the gym on Mondays I treat myself to a hot bath, reading, and stretching, a little healthy me time.
Today I feel good, I feel empowered, and I am looking forward to another healthy day tomorrow...and spinning class.
Happy Monday Ladies!

Eye Opening
First I would like to start off by saying that I am thankful for the eye opening moments I have experienced in the last two days.
My first eye opening experience:
My second eye opening experience:
As for the success of today, I went to a family party, my husbands family, who are notorious for having WAY too much delicious food. I kept control, snacked on some pretzels, had a bean taco, skipped the cheese, and cut a cupcake in half, giving the rest of it to my skinny husband. I felt in control, satisfied, and proud.
The best part of my day? I didn't beat myself up for having too many snacks last night, nor did I let the cycle continue today. I was successfully within my points, and had a half of a cupcake ( a really yummy one btw) to boot!
Lastly, I want to let you ladies know how thankful and honored I am to be part of such an inspiring group! I love reading your stories, successes, worries, all of it. It's awesome.
Love, Peace, and a Positive Monday! xoxo - Gallant
My first eye opening experience:
- How many WW points Vodka has, and how many I spent on New Years Eve. The only real diet I ever did and was successful at was Atkins. I did this years ago, and lost 30lbs. I was also much thinner than I am now at the beginning of the Atkins experience. Now, on Atkins. Vodka is totally fine to have, because there are no carbs in Vodka, and seeing as how my mixer of choice is club soda and a wedge of lime, it was all totally cool. WW is NOT totally cool with Vodka.
My second eye opening experience:
- When I have drinks, I want to snack. ALOT. So the extra points that I didn't spend on Vodka I spent on snacks, snacks and more snacks. Now none of these snacks were so horrible that I can't forgive myself, I didn't get to the point of eating a whole pizza or cake or anything...I just had more than I should have.

2011; The year of the Gallant
This morning I awoke feeling peaceful, a little hungover, and happy. A pretty good place to be, minus the mild headache.
Happy New Year to my Sisters reading this blog, I raise my coffee mug in a toast to all of us who have made a commitment to ourselves.
I have started this journey by doing a few radical changes in my life...
The one thing that I will continue with is exercising. I LOVE to exercise. I cannot believe that I have become addicted to it, but I have. I love feeling strong and capable. I love running out of breath and feeling exhausted afterwards. I have been consistently active for a year now, and I will continue to do so. It is what keeps me sane.
My biggest challenge and what I am dedicating myself to this year is food, and my relationship with it. What I eat, why I eat, when I eat, being aware of all of it.
At the end of this year I will have lost 60 lbs, wear designer jeans, and have an amazing ass.
Today, I am going to the store, to re-evaluate my household food supply.
I wish you love, success, health and peace. xoxo -Gallant
