Week 14

I just had my week 14 weigh-in/meeting today and it was another backslide. Up 0.6 lbs, but luckily it didn't put me back under 18 lbs total.

It doesn't take much thought to realize what happened this week, in fact there are several things I can come up with.

#1: I had a pasta dish for at least one meal this ENTIRE week. On Sunday the whole onslaught of inlaws descended on our house so MIL made a huge pot of ravioli. I had that as leftovers for a few days after that. Then we made spaghetti with florentine meatballs for supper on Wednesday, which I have had for lunch on Thur and Friday as well. Thur night we had beef stroganoff with egg noodles. I will probably be eating that for lunch on Saturday. Whew- a whole lot of carbs and not enough veggies. I also had pizza and leftover pizza on Sat and Sun. So all in all a delicious but not weightloss-inducing week there folks!

#2: My portion sizes have been creeping steadily bigger. I need to get back into the habit of measuring rather than eyeballing. As my meeting leader said today- our eyeballs tend to grow on us!

#3: I've been falling victim to the classic BLTS: bites, licks, tastes, and sips!
Michael made jack and coke for himself several nights this week, and I had my share of sips. When getting Emily's food ready or, once again, putting away leftovers, I would take little bites and licks of the spoon here and there. Unfortunately it all adds up...

So here is hoping for a better week. I'd like to try and make it through without pasta or pizza this time!
