My workout is watching Dexter and being Parisian

I have lost 10lbs and I don't know how...sitting and watching Dexter while sipping a small glass of wine and eating omelets with avocado. I'm on medical rest for another 2 weeks, so cannot exercise (oh darn..). Weight Watchers is working. I haven't been @ this weight in 2 years. And I'm eating the foods I love-French food-1 yolk, 4 white omelets cooked over 1 tsp Roquefort with Shiracha sauce and half an avocado. Je suis une parisien :). Weight Watcher app gave me a happy, bouncing 5pct lost star! Yay! Maybe food is NOT so bad...

Are you a SUPERDORK?

Do you like Cooking? (Um..yes). Do you like Muppets? (Yyess..). You're a DORK
Do you like tracking via apps? (Yess..). Do you take pics of your food? (Guilty..). You're a SUPERDORK. I just finished making a splendid salad with homemade blackberry vinagrette. Homemade, people (ok, I just mashed some berries with a few sprays of oil and balsamic). A few months ago I read somewhere that a guy knew his gf was a DORK because she liked cooking. And muppets. I love both plus aforemntioned WW geeky apps and my phone camera. So, I suppose I am a SUPERDORK. "SD". Cape. Tutu. Yea, I can picture it... SUPERDORK Chicken Salad: 3 0z chicken breast-cooked and sliced. Greens. Handful of mashed berries + 2 tsp balsamic vinagar+3 sprays olive oil. 1/2 avocado (I like mine w Shiracha sauce in middle). Toss salad. Place avocado strategically on plate to eat last as a treat.
8 WW points.

Weight Watchers, leg warmers, Madea and my inner geek...

"Oh hell no." Said Madea in my head when my nephologist told me to start Weight Watchers. Visions of horrible, salty, over-processed packaged "food" and leg warmers came to mind. I argued "I have been starving on 800 calories/day and using "My Fitness Pal" app. He rebuffed: "I had that app too and gained weight on it". He wouldn't take no for an answer and I thought-well, right, I'm gaining weight on it too, what the heck. I'll research WW's and prove him wrong. But the WW of 2012 has gadgety apps. I'm so a sucker for gadgety apps and calculators and barcode scanners. For less than $20/month I signed up for the gadgety app online program and so far, its fun-even my bf is interested and wants to see the gadgets. I'm self-motivated, so meetings wouldn't help me (also, they mentioned you could bring kids.."Oh helll no.."). I have the PointsPlus@ apps on my ipad 1.cool barcode scanner that instantly tells me points from most foods with a barcode 2. Calculator to calc points from Fat, carbs, protein and fiber
3. Tracker of points
For my blackberry: Calculator and tracker of points
4. For my computer (needs flash 9) the online program telling me I get 26 points/day and 49 flex points/week.
What's cool:
*its gagety
*all the apps talk to each other
*no meetings
*i can make my own foods and calculate points
******worth a try****

Paris ruined me. And now back to hell

Paris. Steak tartare, 2 sausage + baguette hot dogs, frommage of all sorts, Mediterranean oysters, dark chocolate as the Death Star and foie gras. I am ruined. I LOVE French food. And am trying to rationalize foie gras. "Well, the method of dying is eating a lot of GREAT FOOD. Is that so bad? Do they suffer or enjoy it?". Walking 6 km/day counter-acted it maybe. I will know this week with the kidney tests...but I digress... A week of heavenly food.... And now back to hell. Starvation on 1200 calories a day. A small reprieve of some pizza and ice cream and beer when my bf and I had the flu/colds. Now but now...Green drink...Skinny B...oatmeal...chicken......I have lost my appetite. I wonder why...

I want a cake pop dangit

Graduation. Cake. Cake pops. This sucks. "No cake for you! Come back one year!"

Cold Turkey, Hot Burger

For 10 days I cut out meat-all of it. To protect my kidneys. I was doing so well and even stopped at Sonic to get some fries as a weekly treat on my way back to Houston. Then I started thinking about more fries. "Ok, next stop on fwy I will get a small one"...the time passed, no sign. It was dark. Then suddenly a blue sign with "Po Burgers" and the famous "M". I HAD to have a BURGER and NOW. I exited. Desolate. @ the traffic sign "2 miles". It was a loooong 2 miles in the desolate dark. I didn't care. The need was so bad, that I was on autopilot. Po Burgers was closed. "M" couldn't be far. I went through the drive through and ordered the angus with extra pickles. It hit my mouth. No pickles but like the best thing I had ever eaten. Logic kicked in "ok, just have half, then throw it away". There was not garbage can. Just protein-starved me, the dark and the M bag-of-shame. I ate the rest. Satisfied. Wondering what kind of chemical reaction had just occurred. A few days later, I met with a kidney dietitian who helped me realise I could have some meat. 6oz/day. I haven't had a crazy craving since but I may treat myself to a small burger now and then. And don't forget the pickles please : D...
