Football FAT Follies - Fooey!

UGH! How do you eat NFL Sunday football snacks without consuming a gazillion calories? I wish I knew.

We tried to do wings today (and ooooh were they delicious), but couldn't get the skin off the little pieces. We smoked and grilled them and tossed them in low-fat (but not low sugar) sauces. Still, I know they're loaded with fat. I'm struggling and having a LOT of back pain so I'm unable to work out with any kind of impact. In fact, I was told the only thing I can do right now is walk.

I'M SO FRUSTRATED! I take one step forward and 3 steps back. On the plus side, at least I'm attempting to take the step forward. If I didn't try ... it would be worse.

GOAL FOR TOMORROW: When the girls nap, I'm going to look up low-fat appetizers for next Sunday. I will add them to the shopping list and NOT buy chips and dip for the games.

BTW: the wing sauce recipe I found was this

3/4 cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce (I used low sodium)
1 tbsp garlic

It was awesome. I am going to use the recipe on baked chicken breast this week.

19 lbs to lose total
Not sure where I am because I'm afraid to step on the scale tonight

Working out with pain

I get sick of walking, and I cannot run. So I use my elliptical machine. I had immediate pain, shooting up my hips and into my shoulder blade area.
How am I to lose weight if I can't work out?

3 lbs down
16 to lose

I hate yoga but I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet. Ugh!!!

A big step back

My mother-in-law was in town, and we tend feed people like they've never eaten before. So we pigged out, ate out and drank too much wine. She left today so I have to get back to working out.
It's amazing how much damage you can do in just 4 days! Hopefully it will come back off as quickly as it came on.
