Partial Week Over

The partial week into the new year is over. I weighed in yesterday and had a gain... :o/ a little disappointing but however I did eat late at night and weighed in early.

Officially the first full week has started yesterday...

My Plan

I think every week I want to challenge myself with something different to create new habits. This first week the challenge is to stay with in points... eat my daily points and my extra exercise earned points and only use the 49 points for a special occasion.

I'm trying my best to stay positive. Because when you feel good and feel positive it's easier to get things done. But I feel horribly fat and feel impatient to get it all off.

But feeling impatient is only going to make me slip up... so I need to stay calm, sip on water and get moving!

How are you doing?

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Stay with in Points.

Current Update

This week I lost 2.3lbs this past week. I did my weigh-in on Friday morning because that's the closest to Saturday morning I'd be able to. The weekend was a bust. Too much to drink, too much to eat, but I did lots of walking a kickball playing so it wasn't a TOTAL bust, however coming back I didn't get a change to prep for the week... so Monday and today we're struggles that I don't think I did my best.

As soon as I finish this post, it's too the kitchen to prep my food and update my calendar. It's also a broke week so I've got to make due with what I have until Friday when I get paid. I'm limited fruit, but do have veggies and chicken in the freezer and feta cheese... I'll make it work!

It also started raining tonight, hopefully it won't be raining tomorrow evening cuz it's back to the gym for me for the rest of the week... rain or shine!

Weigh-In

Last week I did pretty good. I didn't kick arse but I was pretty darn good and stayed within points until Friday... then I don't know what happen. Maybe it was excitement, nerves, fear... all of the above. But by the end of the day Friday I was over by 39 points... What the heck?! I got on the scale Saturday morning at 7:15am... and weighed exactly the same as last week.

Can you feel my disappointment. I worked kind of hard and expected at least a bit of a loss. I know I messed up Friday but still I felt I had worked hard enough during the week to pull off at least a little loss.

This weekend didn't turn out so great. I left early in the morning. I had a good breakfast before I left. I wasn't home all day and all I had while out was a chicken salad sandwich from 7-11 and two Cliff bars. Not a good idea. For one everything I ate was high points... and two when I got home I was STARVING! I shoved whatever I could find in my mouth.

And... in a fit of hunger and starvation and fear of dying I justified in my mind that In-N-Out was low points and okay to have a double, fries and a chocolate shake.

The smart thing would have been to come home, journal it and plan today smartly... but you know smart isn't my style... suffering is. So I didn't journal, decided to wait for today to do so - considering I kept a mental list of everything I poured in.

Today I woke up and decided it was Sunday and I'd have a free day considering I probably eat just a little over points yesterday and still have the 49 extra plus the 7 I earned. I assumed I was good and had the points to enjoy today. And again of course I figured "I GOT THIS!" and didn't journal until tonight...

Again NOT a smart move. I didn't eat as light as I thought yesterday and apparently over enjoyed today. I am now negative 66 points. Ouch, I know... and I'm only 2 days into this week... the good news is I have 5 days to make this up! And I CAN DO IT! I will require a little extra walking and workouts everyday this week but I can do it, or at least get close to making up the 66 points. I know when I go to work and workout I can earn at least 10 points. So even if I earn 10 points a day that'll leave me negative 16 points instead of 66 by Saturday morning weigh-in which could possibly give me a loss. I'm going to go for it!

How was your weekend?

Wiggling Down to Goal

I weighed in yesterday at 178.0, that's a 1.2lb loss. Not bad, I expected a minimal loss due to tge 9lbs I lost in two weeks. But this week it's on! Come on body time to drop this weight!
Last week I didn't eat any of my extra 49 points, but did eat all the earned activity points. But Wednesday through Friday I didn't even finish my daily points.
This week I'm not gonna limit mtself so much. I'm gonna continue with my workouts and walking... Also I'm gonna try that Squat Challenge. I found it on facebook lets see if it lifts and shapes as promised... Lol.
I want to start it today.
Here's to another awesome week of losing!

Did that Scale say 5+ Pounds?!

Yesterday I didn't take weather into consideration and walked 5.54 miles total from the Weight Watcher's center in about 85-90 degree heat. I didn't drink any water because I wanted to get home with my new scale and weigh in... not a smart idea. By the time I got home I was drenched in sweat and vomiting white foam... so gross.

I got home and collapsed on the floor. After a few minutes I got up and broke in my new scale...

I have a feeling my new scale and I are gonna be great friends. It said I lost 5.4 lbs from last week! That's a total of 9 lbs in 2 weeks!

Is that awesome? Or is that awesome?!

I have surpassed my first mini goal of 8 lbs and am finally once again out of the 180's.

I have earned a hair cut! I'll probably do it a little later in the month closer to my birthday.

I wanna breeze through the 170's into the 160's. The 160's is where my head starts to swell.

I'm excited.

What I'm gonna do differently this week is aim to get 5 gym workouts in and maybe 2 lunch walks... It's gonna be super hot this week so I'm going to have to limit my lunch walks, I don't like to go back to work all sweaty and looking discombobulated.

Here's to another fabulous week of staying on program and working toward our goals!

1st Weigh-In

I had my first weight in... happy but a little confused about it. I got on the scale I was still exactly the same weight... 168.2... after my workout I weighed myself again... and low and behold 166.2!


I think I might be retaining water for not drinking enough... does that make sense?

I counted my loss at 167.2 :o) Also lost 1/2 inch off my navel line!
