tiffers: waffle house madness!

so, my day was mostly ruined yesterday and i was quite sad.

it started out awesome, i got my job (yay!), had to go pee in a cup (boo!), then have an awesome yay breakfast with my dude at the waffle house.  i knew waffle house was gonna be a million points, so chris and i decided on salad for dinner (taco salad!  7 pts!).  and all was well with the world.

come to find out, an entire party was coming to our house and didn't tell us until about 20 minutes before it got there.

needless to say, i raged.

not because of the party.  i like parties.  i would have loved that party if i had known about it the day before.  so i was mad cleaning (didn't clean cuz didn't expect a PARTY to show up) and getting dressed (again, wasn't expecting a PARTY).  and i was mainly angry because when the party did show up, it showed up with pizza and ice cream cake.  luckily, this is what weekly points are for, but i'd rather not use them so early in the week. . . .

chris and i avoided the pizza (it was papa john's, way to many points) and had a small piece of cake (i counted it as ten points).  i still made my salad, i had two servings of it and have some left over for today.  i ate like half a head of lettuce, mandy would be so proud.  anyway, i still even ate more salad then i should have because i was craving this gooey melting ice cream cake sitting in the middle of the kitchen.  i figured i'd be better off in the long run going over points with salad than with cake.

so it's wednesday and i'm already down to 32 weekly points.  SIGH.

BACK TO THE WAFFLE HOUSE MADNESS though.  i got a tasty ham and cheese omelette, hold the yolks (which it's fifty extra cents to do that.  SIGH.) and the damn thing was still 14 points!!  so i decided to go on a mission to make a BETTER and LESS POINT-Y omelette.  which i did.

this one is easily twice the size of the one i got at waffle house and was only FIVE points.  it's three egg whites (0 pts), 2 cut up low fat hot dogs(2 pts, it's a childhood fav, i don't know if people still actually eat that as adults but I DO), 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (0 pts) and 1/3 cup shredded cheese (3 pts).  put a little hot sauce on top (hot sauce and eggs just go together) and it was freakin' delish.  plus it lasted way longer than 5 bites like the waffle house one.

i can only assume it's the cheese and the butter that made the waffle house one so many points.  and it was only two egg whites, i'm pretty sure.  and it was like, sliced american cheese which i'm not a super fan of.  it gets plastic-y when it gets cold.  ewwwww.

so that's it.  go enjoy yourself a tasty omelette today!

love, tiffers.

tiffers: angry weigh-in vlog!

a note about my lisp:  i actually think it's my extra tooth that makes me sound that way!  and yes, you can see my extra tooth if you look closely!  it's a baby tooth that i never lost and another tooth grew in front of it. . .so i have a double tooth!

and now that i watch this video i wish i would have put some make-up on!  i'm pretty proud of my complexion at the moment though and i'm pretty sure it looks better because of the better foods i've been eating, so yay better foods!

love, tiffers.

tiffers: angry weigh-in day.

so, before i tell you about my horrible weigh-in, look at my post treadmill face:

even sweaty and gross, i'm always proud of my post-treadmill face.

i weighed in heavy today.  our scale is saying between 271 and 272.

first, let me explain my horrible rage.  i will say first off, i am not BLAMING the scale.  if i weigh in heavy, that's on me.  but hear me out:

i know i shouldn't do it, but i weigh myself almost every day, just to see where i stand.  it's a little compulsive, i know, and i'm trying to stop, but i step on that scale just about every time i see it.  and it's in my closet, so i see it a lot.

all week i've been weighing between 269 and 271.  that's a big gap for a scale, and i don't think i weigh that much more or less on a given day.  so i know there is a scale issue here.  when chris weighed me today, it was 272, which is pretty far off from the numbers i've been getting.  chris's numbers i would say seemed alright, but then again, chris only weighs in once a week so i only had one number to compare it to, and he maintained this week.

i don't know what i'm doing wrong.  i felt like i'd had a great week, but then again i had an awful week before that so maybe it just caught up to me.  but i've been tracking EVERYTHING and been keeping pretty busy even on days i didn't get on the treadmill.

i need to do something different.  i try new things every week to see if something does better or worse.  even every i change up my routine a little bit.

even through the horrible weigh-in i actually feel pretty awesome right now.  i had a bagel and some fruit for breakfast, got my treadmill clothes on and started walking before i did anything else.  like, i feel really pumped up right now, and it's nice!  instead of cleaning and procrastinating about getting on the dreadmill (and yes, that is supposed to day DREADmill) all day, i got on it for twenty minutes at a nice incline-power-walk sort of thing and i feel great.  i also had chris set up my playstation in the living room so that i can play some dance dance revolution later.

on a DDR sidenote, it's an awesome way to work out.  my favorite thing about it is if you set it to workout mode, you can set your desired time (i do mine for thirty minutes) and it deducts the time of the song you play from the total time.  so it's not like a running clock or anything, if i need a drink or need to pee or have a horrible fake-dancing cramp i can stop and not worry about inaccurate times.  it's hard to stop on a treadmill for a potty break.  D:

anyway, i have an appointment at the health department tomorrow.  i'm excited for an accurate measurement of my weight, no matter what the number is.  at least if i have a starting point i can figure out what's up with this scale of mine.

hoping for a better week!

love, tiffers.
