Weekly Weigh in

Well, this past week my appetite came back. I'm not for certain that is a good thing! Haha! No, seriously, I know it's a good thing, but I went crazy with food. Let's just say that cookie dough and batter are my DOWNFALLS. Well, I had ordered cookie dough from my nephew, and it came in this week. Guess who was found eating it by the spoonful. GULP! Yes...me my friends! It came to work with me this morning, and is now going home with a coworker! NO MORE COOKIE DOUGH! I've been struggling on deciding what to cook for dinner, since it's just the 3 of us now (my husband has left in case you didn't know). We've ate lots of sandwiches and grilled cheese with soup...but I don't think the boys are going to want that forever. LOL. I'm going to start working on an April menu with new recipes and food...to get my love of the kitchen back. It's tough, but it's the only way I'll make it. Otherwise I'll continue to struggle with food and my weight.

So okay, weigh in wasn't that great. But we must remember I've had some serious weight loss the past few weeks with my family/life crisis, so honestly it should be expected. Let's also note I didn't journal and didn't workout once last week. So the TWO (2) pound gain was deserved this week on every level.

My weigh in at Weight Watchers on Tuesday was 158. Still a decent number :)

I haven't done these for awhile, and it's time I should...


What I want to accomplish this week:
  • Track every single day!
  • Exercise 5 days
  • Get some work off my desk!
  • Daily vitamin
  • Go to church
  • Read 3 days (Bible)
  • Wear pedometer

Weekly Weigh In

Forgive me people... it's been too long. My life has been a rollercoaster the past month, and I'm still trying to find me.

In the process of my marriage crumbling I have lost my appetite. Yeah, I'm the opposite of most people and don't eat for comfort. This has been good for the weightloss, but it's unrealistic and dangerous. Slowly but surely my appetite IS coming back, so I'm on the path to getting back on track the RIGHT way.

I did some shopping this weekend with the girls, and that was fantastic. I got LOTS of new stuff, for dirt dirt cheap!!! It was nice to be back in the "lower" size, but now the goal is to break thru and go down even further.

I haven't worked out in over a week...with just so much going on and places to go...well I've given every excuse in the book. Possibly tonight I'll do some kickboxing, but my big guy and I are starting to feel under the weather, so no promises.

I did reach my 10% at WW on Tuesday, and I'm down to 156. I lost 1.4lbs this past week... but please remember the circumstances.

If you're the praying type...I could use them, as well as my family.

Weekly Weigh In

Again, I don't have much else to say except updating on my weightloss. I did have a fantastic girls night out this past Saturday, and drank way too much (thank goodness for weekly points and activity points I'd saved!)...I'm certain that hurt my weigh in this morning.

At WW I weighed 160.8lbs ... a 0.4lb loss! Yay...a loss. I could have very easily gained from my girls night out, that's for sure!!!

Another cool thing, I'm finally out of the obese category! I'm just OVERWEIGHT! WOOHOO!

Sorry I don't have more to say right now...things are still up in the air. It hurts...but I am strong, and at least I have my exercise and my commitment to lose this weight!!!

Life

So my life has kept me away from my blog lately. Much is going on, and it's not all that great. I am still losing weight, and still on that path, but I need to put all my energies into something more important, my marriage.

With that being said, I will still plan to update weekly, but I can't promise anymore than that right now.

I am happy to report a 5lb (161.2) loss at WW on Tuesday, and my exercise is ROCKING. I am hoping for another fantastic loss come Tuesday....but doubt it'll be 5lbs. I'm a 6.2lbs shy from my lowest adult weight, and I feel VERY happy about that!!

Just thought I'd let you all know what is going on, and not to worry. I admit I haven't been reading either...so I hope everyone is doing fantatsic! And...don't count me down for the count...just on "sabbatical" as my girlfriend calls it!!!

Weekly Weigh In

Again I found myself busy this past week and unable to post and read as much as I would have liked. But I'm still alive (though snow covered!) and still kicking. I also want to brag that I really had an awesome week, and fortunately the scale at WW showed it! WOOHOO!

Today I weighed in at 166.2! That's a 2.2lb loss! Now remember 2 weeks ago I lost zero, and then last week I didn't weigh in at WW due to snow (though when weighed on my scale I had gained). So I'm super happy with the loss!! And I'm CLOSE (1lb) to hitting my 5%! I'm aiming for that next week!!!

The weekend was nice. I totally stayed on track, journaled, exercised on Sunday and drank all my water, so my weekend was a success. Plus the Hunney and I got to spend time together, without the kiddos...which was SUPER!!! He gave me the cutest card ever, and made me smile. He's got a great sense of humor...so I always love his cards, and especially the lovey things he writes. I don't get that often, so I cherish them!!!

Anyway...I'm running low on time...but needed to update!


What I accomplished last week:
  • Track every single day! - YES!
  • Exercise 5 days - YES... 6 days actually!
  • Finish my weekly tasks for work - as usual, still working on
  • Daily vitamin - YES!
  • Be prepared for the Hunney's birthday on Wed. Decide what I want more - cake or salsa/chips and only have ONE. - Well, I had some chips and salsa...and still had 1 cupcake, but made it special with 1 tab of icing!
  • Read 1 day - No
  • Stairs at work 3 times ONE day - No
  • Blog 3 times - No, I think I only got 2 days... argh!

Weekend warrior!

It's weekend time my friends, and I have my armor on to successfully survive. Yes, I know Valentines Day is stuck in there...and if my Hunney gets me the same thing (or similar) to what he did 2 years ago (2 weeks before we left for Vegas to get married), I'm going to go POSTAL on him. What did he get me you ask? Oh a LOVELY cookie bouquet! Yes...it was sooo cute and VERY sweet...but please, thats seriously sabatoge!

Anway, for V-day I'm not sure what we're doing yet, but the Hunney mentioned possibly going gambling. Sounds okay...not exactly the most romantic thing in the world, but at least it would be something we both enjoy doing (him especially). My Hunney can be kind of tight...so I'm quite certain we won't be going out for dinner. That means I get make us something special - and still on plan! Yay :)

I have worked out all week (well, except Monday), and even on Tuesday and Thursday I went to Zumba classes (SO FUN!) . I've been on track with my eating, so I'm feeling like myself again. Whew!

My plan this weekend is to journal every day, =workout at least once, and guzzle all my water! 3 simple things to help me stay successful, right?!!!

Happy Valentine's everyone!

Guess Who?!

Yep...I've totally been MIA! Can you believe it? I have no excuse, NONE. I thought I was doing really good too...totally was on track and then the inevitable happened - you know, life! I won't go into details, but it's female stuff, emotions = comfort eating.

With that being said, back to the old me...TODAY. I know you probably get tired of hearing this, but hey...I'll say it as many times as I have to. I MUST conquer this, get over that hurdle, cross the FINISH LINE!

Didn't make it to Weight Watchers today due to snow and being lazy. It's probably a good thing considering I'm certain I gained. Oh and last week I got an undeserved maintain. Okay...I know a maintain is better than a gain, but damn...I get tired of working my butt off and for NOTHING. So that was discouraging and started that snowball effect. But...today is new, the week is new...and I'm ready (yes this is positive self talk).

Here are my weekly goals :)
