Weigh and Measure Sunday Day 575

This week’s official weigh and measure was pretty much a flop. I used all my weeklies on Friday & Saturday, so the scale was way up today compared to only a few days ago. Not too pleased with that, but it is what it is. I did it, I get to live with it, right? Still, there was a loss, so its not all bad. I’m pretty sure the scale will be down quite a bit in the morning though, or at least by Tuesday morning.

I had planned on spending some time in my craft room today but I didn’t. The most productive thing I did all day today was brush the dogs, which oddly enough Sashi is the one who is shedding the most. Usually its Lucy who is losing hair all over the place, not Sash.

I also tried to win a pattern I really wanted on eBay, but I got way outbid at the last second. The same pattern is available from the manufacture for $3.99 though right now, so may just order from there, depending on whether or not the site will work- so far I can’t go through the checkout process at all without an error. Grrr. Probably better this way though because I’m technically broke.

Grocery Haul Monday Day 569

Today was a small grocery haul Monday. I stocked our freezer so well last month we really id not need any meat, but I grabbed some chicken thighs because they’re hella cheap, and a package of bratwursts because they taste so good (but insanely unhealthy) squeezed out of their casings, crumbled, and cooked with Zatarain’s dirty rice mix. I got ice cream because I had the extra money this week, and its something we eat more of when the weather is warm. Today, however, was not warm. It was rainy, cold, and windy. I pretty much froze my ass off all day today, though because I was holed up in my craft room all day, I really didn’t notice it. I also didn’t notice today that at 6:45pm, I still had not eaten anything at all, and made an “emergency” run to Subway. I was initially planning on going to Jack in the Box, but all of a sudden I thought of Subway and it won out, no contest.

Weigh and Measure Sunday Day 568

This wasn’t a great weigh in this morning. I show a loss of 1.4 pounds, but that’s a loss from two weeks ago, not last week. Last week I didn’t weigh in. Still, a loss is a loss so I can’t be too hard on myself. My BMI is slowly working its way down- remember when I was still fighting to get it under 30 so I would no longer be classified as obese by it? I know BMI is not the most accurate way to watch your weight, but for now its a nice rough guideline to go by.

I spent most of my day in my craft room sewing dress #4- the 4th dress I have sewn start to finish in the last 4 days. Seriously. I messaged Tracy and told her I need an intervention. This is kind of ridiculous. Dress #4 is the same bodice as dress #3, which I will show you after the jump, but has a full skirt instead, and the bodice is white and the skirt is black. It wasn’t planned that way. I actually ran out of black broadcloth when I was cutting the bodice and realized I either needed to make the bodice outside a different color, or the lining. I chose the outside. And now I keep wondering how it would look (besides probably fun) to do the same dress again, but with sequined fabric for the bodice and a plain skirt fabric. Maybe a little prom-dressy.

Weigh and Measure Sunday Day 547

This week’s weigh and measure were disappointing, but I am pretty sure I know why. Saturday’s eating was all over the place at best, and then we went out to eat that night for dinner. I stayed in control and I ate mostly lean proteins and hardly any carbs, but who knows how much sodium was in the food and as a result, the scale which had been down almost 2 pounds all week was only down 0.3 for my official weigh in. Sucks, but pretty sure it is temporary. Still, I showed a loss and that’s what counts.

Anyway, Sunday. I did a lot of nothing today, including taking a long nap mid0-afternoon, and fixed a heavy meal for dinner. I honestly could have split it three ways and fed Richard too, but for some reason I opted to split it in half instead and just fed us two. I felt pretty full for a long time afterward, and Mattie apparently did not because he ate a roll of crackers after dinner. You can see what we had for dinner and how to make it here.

After dinner Mattie curled up on the couch with me and laid his head in my lap, and we watched Gabriel “Fluffy” however you spell his last name’s newest show which was great. I hadn’t realized that he was the DJ in Magic Mike, and now I kind of want to watch it again to see him.
