So, regardless of everyone in the competition knowing their results (which I suspect has a little to do with my mom and stepdad's scale being at the house they are not living it - and they should just bring it to the house that they are living at) :
This last Monday Kurt was down 6.8 lbs from his weigh in 2 weeks earlier and I was down 11 lbs. Yea!! :)
In all fairness...my drop was really only 8ish lbs because the day that we weighed in 2 weeks from this last Monday, I had gained 2 lbs from the previous 2 week weigh in...but the next day I was down 3 lbs from that...so my 2 (now almost 3) week ago weigh in was a little bit of a fluke.
But I'll take what I can get...and so will Kurt. That was the high.
Now for the low...we've both fluctuated between 1 lb either direction this week. We really haven't been the best this week - but at the same time, we haven't been awful. He's still been getting over the remnants of his cold while for me, some days I really feel like I'm getting over my allergies...and others - like yesterday...they were very bad. I didn't help that we were photographing a house that seemed to be coated in pollen.
All the bad things (before yesterday) really hadn't been awful. I forgot to make tortillas this week, so we had to buy a bag of whole wheat ones at the store. We wanted a little ice cream so we bought a pint of vanilla that we shared over 3 days and had a couple of Oreos with it (ok...that was bad - but we were really craving sugar this week). There was one day that Kurt did not like what we made for dinner - "Breaded" Chicken - chicken thighs breaded in almond meal - so we didn't have the leftovers for lunch the next day...but to be honest with you...I can't even remember what we had...I think we split a small pepperoni pizza with white sauce and some cheesy bread.
Okay...now that I've really had a chance to think back at it...yeah...it was kind of a bad week...a bit more awful than I originally thought.
As for yesterday...I'm not even going into that...you don't want to know. All I can say is I felt awful all night, had a hard time sleeping...and of course - we're going back to our regular routine today.
Today is grocery day...and of course I haven't even made my meal plan yet. I finally got a greater repentance of my sense of taste and smell back so hopefully I can actually taste what I cook this week. I think there were a couple of meals from last week that I would like to try again...Kurt said they were good...but I have only their texture to go on. I'll post more recipes as I can taste stuff. I'm sure I have a couple I can put up...but I really would like to get away from my desk for a little bit.
Last grocery day - we spent $144 - but it does not include the things we cheated with. The amount we spend on groceries is usually the way we deter ourselves from cheating, because we don't want to through money away ... this week, other than the leftovers Kurt didn't like...I don't think anything has gone bad. So grocery-wise, not a bad week.
Until ... probably sometime next week,
