Nutrisystem: Week 11 Review

September 9, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried this week:
– turkey and stuffing: kinda salty, not bad though
– fettuccine alfredo: tasty, but could use a meat

Wednesday I was on diet and went to the gym. Gotta work on those 3 pounds I gained during La Festa. But I gained 6 last year, so that’s an improvement.

Thursday I was on diet and hung out with Babylon. We worked out a few issues that were bugging us recently and it made me feel so much better about things. Like a weight was lifted off me. So much better… also, 4.4 net pounds lost according to the morning’s weigh in.

Friday I was on mostly diet and went to the gym.

Saturday I was partially on diet and went with Red to get a pedicure and sushi. Then I hung out with Babylon.

Sunday was D&D and also a cheat day. Then Babylon and I had our third real date at a great BBQ place. And now it’s all sorts of official and such. Yay! Smiles for miles.

Monday I was mostly on diet, except for BBQ leftovers. Also, late shift for only the one day. Lost 7 pounds so far. Back down past the pre-La Festa weight.

Tuesday I was on diet until dinner and got my allergy shots. Watched the Apple Live Event. Super excited for the iPhone 6. The apple watch looks silly though.

Nutrisystem: Week 10 Review

September 2, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried this week:
– Chocolate frosted donut: not tasty at all and didn’t really look like a donut
– walnut chocolate chip cookies: okay, but not as good as the white chocolate ones

Wednesday I was on diet until dinner, but went to the gym with Joey.

Thursday I was on diet.

Friday I was on diet until dinner, which was on the way to La Festa with Spike.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I was off diet for La Festa.

Tuesday I was mostly on diet and went bowling with a new guy that I’m seeing, and I’ll refer to him as Crow. Felt awful for awhile though. I never actually got time to sleep much this weekend, so instead of being refreshed, I was just feeling depressed. Then was horribly sore after bowling. I think I twisted my hips out of whack or something.

Nutrisystem: Week 9 Review

August 27, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried:
– nacho cheese tortilla chips: not bad, but not doritos

Wednesday I was on diet until dinner. Babylon came over and we hung out awhile.

Thursday I was on diet until dinner again, but I got my new sunglasses from Coastal.com. I love them!

Friday I was on diet until dinner and had to drive to DC for a meeting. It went okay but I don’t think anything will come from it.

Saturday I did tutoring then went for a coffee meetup with a guy… and he stood me up. No text, no apology, nothing. I don’t know why I keep getting stood up. This is stupid. I hate people. But the day was saved by my friend Red. We went to lunch at Houlihans and had delicious seafoods. I finally ate scallops, and they were tasty. Then I found out that the entirety of Sex and the City is on HBO Go. So the rest of my day was spent binging that, playing Spellfall, and waiting for Babylon to come over.

Sunday I was mostly off diet. We did D&D and it went a bit long. We did like 8 encounters, because most were just skill challenges and those go faster.

Monday I was on diet.

Tuesday I was on diet until dinner because I was in Columbia and very hungry. So, food.

Nutrisystem: Week 8 Review

August 19, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried this week:
– cheese ravioli in tomato basil sauce: insides were gritty, there were 2 raviolis, didn’t like.
– lasagna with meat sauce: didn’t look appetizing, but wasn’t half bad
– chocolate chip cookies: not as good as the white chocolate ones

Wednesday I was on diet until dinner.

Thursday I was mostly off diet. Hung out with Wolfe though. We watched Kick-Ass 2.

Friday I was on diet.

Saturday and Sunday I was off diet and hung out with Babylon all weekend playing video games.

Monday I was on diet until dinner. Work was stressful and I didn’t get off until 7, so a 10 hour day… and I got sushi to feel better.

Tuesday I was on diet until dinner. Fucking late shift. Making me eat poorly and make bad decisions.

Nutrisystem: Week 7 Review

August 13, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

Wednesday I was on diet except for dinner when I went out to Duclaw with a friend.

Thursday I was on diet except for dinner, which was Panera. OMG the mac and cheese is AMAZING! Went to work a little bit after camp and then went home and played some Pokemon Y.

Friday I was on diet except for dinner again. Saw Guardians of the Galaxy with Babylon and it was awesome! And now I have a new celebrity crush. Chris Pratt. Yum.

Saturday I felt awful because of allergies and got nothing done and was off diet.

Sunday I was off diet again. Sigh. Had D&D so that didn’t help me be on diet at all.

Monday I was on diet all day!

Tuesday I was on diet until dinner, because Babylon came over and we had BBQ. It was delicious.

Nutrisystem: Week 6 Review

August 6, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried this week:
– coconut almond bar: melted in shipment, but tasty

Wednesday I was on diet and went to the gym. Also, hung out with Babylon.

Thursday I was on diet except for an amazing sandwich I made for dinner after late shift at work.

Friday I was on diet except for in the afternoon when I got a huge coffee from Starbucks to get me through a long late shift night at work. I was at work until 8pm. 12 hour day was long. Then I went up to Babylon’s house and we played video games and hung out.

Saturday I was off diet all day. Babylon and I made pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Then ran some errands and got food for grilling. I made the most amazing stuffing for some yellow and orange bell peppers. 10 oz of goat cheese, one can of corn, one can diced tomatoes, one small jar of artichokes. It. was. AMAZING!

Sunday I was off diet. I had breakfast with Babylon, went to visit my parents, had a late lunch with Spike, and then Spike and I hung out the rest of the evening. It was nice to see him again.

Monday I was on diet except for snack time at camp which was just cheese and crackers, so not even that bad, and sushi for dinner, which was a little worse. But I went to work at my real job after camp, so I kinda needed the dinner.

Tuesday I was on diet except for dinner.

Wednesday Weigh-In #1

July 30, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

Today I’m starting week 6 on Nutrisystem and did a weigh-in this morning.

I’ve lost 4.2 pounds so far!

Not as much as I hoped for, but with the amount I’ve been off-diet, I’m not surprised. So this is just incentive to actually stay on diet more. Because it’s obviously working. Hooray!

Nutrisystem: Week 5 Review

July 29, 2014 in Mindpieces | Permalink

New foods I tried this week:
– Granola cereal: very sweet. They should’ve put more granola and less honey/sweetener.
– cinnamon bun: very dense, icing was weird, not that tasty, prefer the muffins
– fudge graham bar: kinda gritty tasting, but coated in chocolate
– honey mustard pretzel bits: very tasty but hardly any in the bag
– hearty beef stew: tasty, lots of stuff in it so it was decently ‘hearty’

Wednesday I was on diet until dinner, when I made Asian Chicken Legs to eat with Babylon. I had been planning on doing the recipe with wings, but the legs were much cheaper at the store. They turned out pretty delicious. I brought a few in to work for my supervisor and gave the rest to Babylon for lunch, so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat them again and go off diet again.

Thursday I was barely on diet. But I went to the gym with Wolfe since I didn’t get to go on Wednesday.

Friday I wasn’t on diet, since there were leftovers to finish, but I went to the gym again after work. Then I had dinner at UNOs and went to see Lucy with KrazyK. It was a good movie, but very trippy.

Saturday I was on diet. I had tutoring in the morning but the girl forgot we had a session and didn’t show up. Then I hung out with Babylon and we went to the Video Games Live concert together. It. Was. Awesome.

Sunday I was off diet because of D&D. But I did eat less than I used to.

Monday I was on diet. I really need to have more days like that. Ugh. I’ll get the hang of this eventually. At least I’m trying to go to the gym 2 or 3 times a week now.

Tuesday I was on diet until dinner. Got home late from work after staying to do some OT. So I was kinda starving. Temptation is hard when you’re really hungry. Sigh.
