Sinful Indulgence: Our Weekly Confessions (6/27/10)

Welcome to another installment of Sinful Indulgence.

Kalon
This week I saw my sins from last week catch up with me. All is not lost; I still ended up with a net weight deficit of 0.6 lbs. Lets see how I did this week.

• 1 Small IceCap with milk (250)
• Strawberry Shortcake Cookie (240)
• Chocolate Digestive Cookies*8 (480)
• 1 Extra Beer (90)
• French Chocolate Pie (520) Delicious and totally worth it! Thanks mom!
• Half Small Cup of Marble Slab Icecream (200)

For a grand total of...  1780. Much better than last week's 3100! We'll see if things pay off next week.

The week started out a bit rocky because my ex came to pick up the cat and I had bought him "travel junk food" as a thank you...that I ended up eating some (so most of this crap was all in one day) BUT I haven't had an iced capp all week!! (I am staying strong with my replacement beverage) After the mini binge -when I logged in on Tuesday and saw some of the comments...I decided to try harder this week ("reborn" if you will lol) I'm just doing the best to do the best I can.

• 1 small bag Doritos (260 calories)
• 1 shopsy's pepperoni (130 calories)
• 1 small pack Swedish Berries (230 calories)
• 600ml Bottle of Grape Crush pop (250 calories)
• 1 row Digestive cookies = 10 cookies (600 calories)
• 2 Strawberry Shortbread cookies (480 calories)
• Ate other half of Kal's ice cream (200 calories)

Grand total of....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....2150 calories!!!!! *sad face*
TERRIBLE but still MUCH better than last week!

Until next week Blog Father, I have confessed.

The art of weighing in...

(OK yes it's still Kal's turn...but he takes sooooo long and I have no life lol.)

I weighed myself this morning on the Wii. Now here's the thing...my place is being fumigated (nothing super gross just carpenter ants, house centipedes and most recent....earwigs *shudder*) so my scale at home is not available for me to weigh in on and I was forced to give up consistency for this week)

I actually weighed myself 3 times this morning just to get it right....before 8am I am pretty much useless :oP

WEIGH IN ATTEMPT ONE:
Half asleep Amanda figures out Kal's complicated tv system and somehow magically gets the wii working (HOW MANY IMPUT MODES DO YOU NEED....SERIOUSLY?!?!?!). SO I follow the annoying instructional voice and weigh myself....105.5kg (232.5 pounds.....NOW I'm awake!) I'm thinking THIS IS BULLSHIT!! lol. Then I realize that the wii board is on the shaggy type area rug.


WEIGH IN ATTEMPT TWO:
I move the board to hardwood floor, redo all the balance test stuff and then wait for it.......105kg (231.5 pounds!) NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!! but then I realize that no one is home....so why am I weighing myself with clothes on? I'm not the naked type (almost a "nevernude" but I don't like jean cutoffs either lol), especially being naked in someone else's place...but hey...why not?

WEIGH IN ATTEMPT THREE
So I reboot the wii, get naked (in the middle of someone else's empty living room, 20 stories up in front of floor to ceiling windows), choose the third "clothing weight" option (+/-0.0kg) and ALAS......DRUMROLL PLEASE........104.75KG (230.9 pounds)  HELLZ YEAH!

In conclusion....the walking, Tim Horton's switch up and better food choices this week have made the difference. I'm happy with my results so far; slow and steady wins the race. Juicy confessions this week....I think I may have beaten Kal though because I've been pretty good!!! Also, don't forget that measurement day is tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

What's new?!?!

It's really Kal's turn and he has good stuff to tell you too!...but he's on the train right now so I'm just gonna give you a quick update!

I just wanted to announce:
I have successfully been able to replace my almost daily Medium Ice Cap with Iced Coffee.

It's been going well for three days now; I've transitioned nicely and already saved  almost 750 calories.

	MED REG ICED CAP (My Vice)		MED ICED COFFEE (with Milk)
Calories	360	vs.	110
Fat	15g	vs.	1g
Carbs	48g	vs.	22g
Sugar	47g	vs.	13g

I really am trying but I know if I go all gung-ho, I'll burn out like I've done every other time. The goal is slow sustainable change for the better.

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys (even when its stuff I don't want to hear but should) I am just happy the blog is being read and getting out there.

Today's Tid Bit about Kal: The term "OJ" referring to Orange Juice makes Kal uncomfortable ever since the OJ Simpson trial. No jokes. Ahhhh he is just so funny, even when he's not trying. Always makes me smile.
