Saturday weigh-in

Well, turns out I did something right this week. More likely, what I did right was actually follow my points and write everything down! LOL

Lost 5.6 lbs!!!

Last weeks weight was 184.2 lbs. This week I'm down to 178.6lbs. One of my last posts when I was talking about how I don't get anywhere, because I lose for a few weeks and then have a big gain? This week is a prime example. I gained 7.4 last week, lost 5.6 this week, and that still gives me a 1.6 pound difference of what I still need to lose to be back where I was 3 weeks ago! But... its another start. I will get there. Eventually.

My mini-goal for starters will be to get back down to 175lbs. After that I'll aim for my all-time low of 171.4lbs.

This week I'm going to count my points differently too. On the ww message boards, I've seen the suggestion to start counting my points at dinnertime versus breakfast.

Therefore, my journal will start with dinner. Then follow through to the next day with breakfast and lunch and afternoon snacks. A "new" day will then start with dinner again. I don't know how it'll work, or if it'll confuse me but I'm going to give it a try. One of the things I've had a problem with is hoarding all my points so that I have enough for dinner and snacks for the evening. Counting my points differently, I'm hoping, will relax me a bit. Plus, school starts Wednesday so I'll be more on schedule with eating, and home less! (less boredom snacking!) I'll also start to exercise a little more. With the kids being at home I can take a walk or do a workout video without interruptions. So for this week I'm aiming for a video on Wednesday and Friday.

Hopefully I can get back on track!

So much damage

This is hard for me to admit. When am I going to figure this weightloss stuff out?

I gained 7.2 pounds!

Of course, I was pms'ing, and hadn't gotten in all my water, so it probably wasn't a true gain. On the scale, sure, but I would had to eat many,many calories to gain that much. And I just didn't.

So, you know, the same old thing...another week. Staying on track so far this week, haven't exercised at all yet, but I'm hoping going up and down to the basement to do laundry has gotta count for something.

The thing is, is that I stay "on track" for a good 5-6 weeks at a time. But.....then I have a bad week, and I gain the 3-4 pounds I had lost in the previous "good" weeks. Back to square one for me. But then the first "good" week I have back on points, I'll only lose a portion of what I gained the previous week. Following me? So, then, by the time I stick with my points for another 5-6 weeks, I've only lost a few more pounds below what my weight had been after I binged and gained. So really, I'm going nowhere. And this has been continuing for months.

I need to stop screwing around and get down to business. I've been losing and gaining the same 10 pounds since May!

It sucks, but I have no one to blame but myself.

It'll be interesting

I laugh that weigh-in is tomorrow morning, but I know the number on the scale is probably going to make me cry.

I've made alot of bad choices this week. I haven't really cared. But I do feel like shit. I know when I eat that cookie that I will feel shitty, but I still do it. I'm pms'ing, so that doesn't help either.

A new week starts tomorrow. And it'll be back to the grind.

I'm falling apart

I don't recall if I posted about it here, but last week, Tuesday to be exact, I did some walking/jogging intervals and hurt my hip again. After limping on it for several days, I'm finally able to walk normally again, except it still hurts like hell. Only when I put weight on my left leg though, which a person needs to do to walk.

Needless to say, I haven't exercised since. Had my horrible, but could have been worse weigh-in, and my eating has fallen apart as well. I'm just not doing good. I feel like I'm in a rut. Eating wise and exercise wise.

It doesn't help that I can't walk, sleep or exercise without pain, but don't really give a shit about eating right. For this week anyway. I can't motivate myself to get back on the wagon just yet, and I know I'm going to regret it once I get on the scale Saturday morning. Whats done is done though.

I just want this pain to go away, and I just want to get back to the work/school schedule so that I can go to the gym again and get back to a normal schedule. And of course, so I can get back to losing weight again!

Geesh, just another week

Another week down. No weightloss, no weight gain. Stayed the same, which is better than gaining, but still. I worked so hard this week. Exercised, got in my water, and wrote everything down!

Its just so frustrating. Makes me want to give up. Going to try again this week, to switch things up a bit. I might just have to aim for maintaining for the last few weeks before school starts until I can start work again, and get back on more of a "normal" schedule with going to the gym and such.

I hate this. I just want to get to goal already!

Weigh-in

Did good this week. Not as good as I was expecting, but a loss is a loss, right? 1.2 pounds down. Of course, I had been up for 2 hours before weigh-in and had been drinking coffee, so it might have been a bit more, but regardless, it'll all wash out in the end. I'm still going strong with following my points too. Still too much of a wimp to change my stats on the side. Even though my lowest weight isn't posted there anymore, its so hard to put in a higher number! Right now I think I weigh 177.4....I've have to check my book, but its somewhere around there. I just want to get back down to my lowest of 171.8. Just gotta keep working the program though. I made the no pudge brownies tonight and I must say as much as those mixes are expensive, they are sooo worth it! Yummy! Only 2 pts each too! I'm so sore from this weekend. We had a tag sale and I think the moving boxes up the basement stairs along with moving tables and stuff has really made my body work. I've been so sore today...sore enough to take aleve. I'm a wimp when it comes to pain, but at least I know I used my muscles. lol K, thats all for now. Hope everyone has a great week!

I think I've done well this week regarding WW. The scale is showing a loss, so we'll see what I weigh-in at tomorrow morning. Its been tough though, since I wanted to binge earlier in the week. Started fresh the next day though. I'm happy with how I've followed the plan this week, and how I've gotten in all the "requirements", such as my dairy, water, veggies, etc...

Have a great weekend!

Day 3....excellent!

I woke up bright and early this morning at 8 am (early for me!) and actually did my workout video! The house was quiet, the kids were asleep, and if the blinds were up you would have seen me jogging around my livingroom in only biker shorts and a sports bra. LOL The jiggling fat was not pretty, trust me! But I did the whole thing. Thought I might have problems with my hip, but thankfully did not. Turns out this walk and jog video is 2.5 miles...not bad!

Also did my free weight routine. Kinda hard to motivate myself on that one when I'm at home surrounded by comfy looking couches. Easier at the gym when I'm trying to look like I know what I'm doing just in case that cute guy with the nice muscles walks by ;)

Eating went well today too. I actually ate breakfast....special K with strawberries. Lunch was lowfat cheese with triscuits. I really missed my salad so I might alternate days. Salads on Tuesday's and Thursdays and a sandwich or frozen meal on Mon/Wed/Fri. I would think doing that would "mix up" my meals enough to keep my body burning the fat. I scheduled a snack mid-afternoon of an apple and then ate dinner around 6pm. Turkey ham with roasted potatoes and fresh yellow squash from the garden.

I still had too many points left after dinner though. I had a 1/2 c. Edy's light icecream, a serving of triscuits and a 1 pt. real strawberry ice pop.

Also had around 8 cups of water today. Makes it a good day!

So, as you might have seen on my menu, I'm trying to get in the fiber, the fruits and veggies, and trying my best to get in dairy. I found this 70% lowfat cheese thats only 1 pt. per oz. I also have some yogurts to alternate throughout the week although its not my favorite and I'll probably have to choke it down. But I'm going to try.

Tomorrow morning (depending on how sore I am) I might attempt the workout video again. I'm only doing the weights on Mon/Wed/Fri to give my muscles a chance to rest and recover. I'm just taking it one day at a time this week. I don't want to get burnt out. I am concerned about my eating over the weekend but figure I still have about 15 flexpoints left and so I'm trying not to use more than 1 or 2 a night. Just because I might have figured my food wrong when eating out.

Here's to a great Tuesday!
