Blah
It was just a crap weekend all over. My diet sucked. I drank next to zero water. Forgot to track calories until it was to the point that I forgot what I ate. Brianna was an ass. Olivia was super whiny/clingy. Blah.

Weigh In #1
Dropped .6lbs for weigh in this morning. Booooo I was hoping for an even pound for water weight. Hoping that .4lb is gone by Monday!

Water Bloat!
Holy crap, the day's not even over yet and I'm already at 112oz of water. I feel like I'm swimming lol
New coffee trick! Bought some flavoured coffee today. Discovered that with flavoured coffee I can keep topping off the cup with black coffee even longer. Obviously it's the flavour I'm going for. So now, it's really just when the sugar from the creamer runs out. Wooo! Rather than (not lying) at least a CUP AND A HALF of creamer a day, I'm down to about 1/2 cup for the same amount of coffee (about 3 pots). Yay me!
Didn't do terrible on calories. I did go over, but by only a little over 100. I knew my scalloped potatoes would kill me lol

End of day 1
So today didn't go as bad as I thought it might.
I consumed 1622 calories which is over my suggested calorie intake by 85 calories BUT I also burnt 785 calories by scraping the ice off the driveway.
I went back to my go-to-the-bathroom-drink-water plan and drank 56oz of water that way (and will have another 8oz before I go to bed). I probably should be drinking more but slow and steady right?
I've decided not to track my coffee intake since a cup is a measly 2 calories and I drink so much of it it's a pain to track each one. What I'm doing instead is tracking my creamer intake. I've also consciously cut down on that. Since I don't drink coffee very fast, a lot of my day is just topping up my cup. So I've done it that I make a normal cup of coffee with my normal creamer, then just adding black coffee until I can't stand the taste anymore. Only then am I adding more creamer.
All in all, a pretty good day. Well see how much water weight is dumped off by Friday's weigh in (since I'm going back to my old Fri/Mon weigh ins)
I find it funny that my longest paragraph here is about coffee lol

Day 1
Day 1 of a weight loss plan is always painful. It's the day you step on the scale to see how much you suck. Today I sucked enough to have gained over 10lbs since October. Yup, I suck. I was down to 181.4lbs at my last weigh in, today I was at 192.2lbs. *cry*
On a bright side, I did find out that shoveling snow is great exercise and burns lots of calories. Here's hoping we get several feet of snow before spring comes! Another good note. Brianna was asking today when we were going to do more "gym class" type stuff like hiking/running/ect... So that means even after the snow is gone, I should still be getting off my ass.
Today I discovered the nice cheap bagels I bought are over 500 cals a piece *cry* Guess I'm going back to the expensive Weight Watchers bagels. At least they were only 150 cals. I'm also rediscovering my cup-o-soup pouches. While they are pretty high in sodium (never something I've had a problem with so not terribly worried), 2 pouches is just over 100 cals and fills me up. Chances are, this will be my lunch quite often!
Now to figure out supper. I am a BIG lover of comfort food. That sucks. Comfort food usually has 486,935 calories per serving *sigh*
My first long term goal is to be down 25lbs by Olivia's birthday (so 167lbs). My first short term goal is to be 185lbs by my birthday (so down 7.2lbs). I worry more about the short term goal than the long term one.

New (to us) Appliances
These are probably the newest appliances I've ever owned lol
Lee's ex-wife called a few days ago to see if we were still looking for a washer and dryer. Well, they may not work *great* by my washer and dry *were* still working. Anything's better than the laundry mat. Well she said that her husband bought new front loaders (supposedly better in the country with a septic tank) and she wanted to give us her old (5 yrs) set.
Hell yes! Free is my friend :)
Tested out the washer tonight. It's a super capacity so I was able to stuff more than Lee's work clothes into one load. And it's so quiet! And didn't dance across my kitchen! Woooooo!
We didn't try out the dryer though since we dry majority of our clothes on the dry rack in the living room. Especially if it's only one load. When I do 2+ loads over the weekend all the jeans and little things will get to test out the new dryer.
