And I'm still stuck on 160! Actually, that's probably good since it was the July 4th weekend and we had company for four days. Lots of eating and drinking. So, I guess I should be happy.
BUT, I'm not!
I know I eat the wrong foods. But I just love sandwiches and hate salads. Okay, I don't hate them and, actually, enjoy one once in a while, but, not every day! I know I've got to get better!
And I've got to add more exercise but with the humid conditions, it was hard to do anything. I know; excuses, excuses!
Breakfast: 1 WW English muffin with Benecol, canola mayo, swiss cheese, imported lean ham; skim milk. I tried to write down all the calories and fat and came up with about 500 calories and 25 grams of fat. Too much, huh? Shit!
Lunch: 1/2 WW pita with tuna salad made with canola mayo and Howard's Hot Pepper Relish and pepperjack cheese. I sprayed it with Olive Oil Pam and grilled it. Yummy! I had a glass of skim milk with it.

Lunch: 1/2 WW pita with canola mayo, dijon and turkey breast; raw string beans; water.
Snack: 1/4 egg salad sandwich on white bread at our staff meeting. Most of the treats were sweets so I chose this. Yes, I could have just skipped anything but...

Just Another Lazy Sunday
Breakfast: I made an Egg McMuffin for myself. 1 WW English muffin, benecol, 1 slice pepperjack cheese, lean imported ham shaved,1 egg fried in canola oil (most of the yolk squirted out and ended up on my plate); banana; skim milk.
It has stopped raining but is cold and windy. I can't even hang my sheets out. I've been doing a bit of laundry and helped Gary put the front wheel back on his motorcycle. Other than that, though, I've been pretty lazy writing poems and posting them and reading others' posts.
Got all my laundry done, folded, and put away.
Snack: handful of dry-roasted peanuts
Appetizer: 7 jumbo cocktail shrimp
Supper: multi-grain wrap with seafood salad mixed with canola mayo, tomatoes, lettuce; 2 glasses merlot.
Exercise: Walked about 3/4 of a mile. It was about 12 degrees and windy. Brrrr!

Well, I didn't do too bad.
Supper: bowl of chili with pizza cheese and sour cream; 1 piece of corn bread with benecol; 2 glasses of merlot.

TGIF!
Actually, this week seemed to go fairly quickly. Only Thursday was long because of the brats I have in 3rd block. I even dreamed about them last night. That's bad. And today? They were great! Quiet and industrious. Go figure!
I still weigh about the same but I know these things take time. Like Kylie tells me when I turn the computer on, "Be patient."
Breakfast: 1 WW English muffin (two skinny halves) with benecol and tuna mixed with mayo; banana; skim milk; And I'm going to take my vitamin and fish oil right now! Be back in a jiffy...there, that's done, but it was the last one of each. Now, I'll have to go to Rite Aid, dammit!
Lunch: 1/2 WW pita with canola mayo and lean shaved ham; raw string beans; water
No idea what we'll hve for supper. Leftovers, probably. I think I'll watch the rest of American Idol that I taped last night.
Supper: Leftover Chinese pie, 2 gasses of merlot. But I'm still hungry!
Exercise: I walked around the block 5 times=1 1/4 miles.

Hump Day
Rain/snow/sleet/ice mix this morning so we had a two-hour delay. Love it!

Yay! A Walk!
Just got back from walking about a mile and a half, a quarter of it uphill. It's about 13 degrees out but not windy and the stars are brilliant.
Talked to my mom while I was out there. She sounds so good and is having some work done in her condo. She's getting new tile put in her kitchen and hallway. Nice to hear her upbeat!
I think I'll have a handful of peanuts and a glass of water then head upstairs. Back to school tomorrow.

A Lazy Afternoon
Did a couple loads of laundry and carried them from the cellar to the second floor but that's about it! I sat and finished a book while the golf was on and Gary got tipsy then fell asleep in his recliner.
Mid-afternoon Lunch: bowl of chili with 3 tablespoons of shredded pizza cheese (mozzarella and cheddar), about 3 tablespoons of sour cream; large glass of skim milk.
Supper time: glass of merlot
That's it so far but I might have a little something later this evening.
I'm determined to go for a walk during half time and the 3rd quarter of the Celtics game. I'll let you know if I do!

Exercise: Nothing. We sat and watched Wings for several hours.
Wine: 2 glasses of merlot
Tomorrow is another day!

Here We Go!
I created this blog to record my efforts at losing weight and getting my triglycerides down.
I promise to be absolutely truthful with myself.
Weight this morning: 166 (Normal for me is around 150)
Triglycerides: 219 (Should be lower than 150)
Cholesterol: 223
Breakfast: whole wheat English muffin with 2 thin slices of pepper jack cheese on each half, benecol, lean shredded ham, and a fried egg. I fried it in canola oil instead of the bacon grease my husband wanted his cooked in!
I also had some green seedless grapes and blueberries
8 ounces of skim milk.
