Just Don't Know

Was an OK day! I think I was in my points, counting everything I knew the points for I still had 4 points left for the day, that goes to a piece of pumpkin roll I ate that a coworker made. It had to be at least 4 points. So I was probably right on with points. Did not work out today! Just felt like I needed a day off, not good a day before a weigh in. I am kinda sore from Wednesday and Thursdays workouts though so I just sat around and relaxed all night. The scale this morning was showing I was up! Go figure! I dont feel like I gained this week but I sure dont feel like I lost either...guess we will know in the morning!

WW Candy

So today was an OK day! Fought the chocolate cravings again today, but I was prepared I had my weight watchers candy with me and ate it! And because I had I managed to have my chocolate AND stay with in points! Yes! Work outs were good, 30 minutes of weights(I am sore from the Tae Bo last night) 15 minutes of sprints on the treadmill, 20 minutes of intervals on ellipitcal and yoga! One more day left...

Change Up

Today was another good day points wise! Had one minor slip with a mini kit kat! Going to take my weight watchers candy to work with me tomorrow and hope that when the "cravings" hit that the WW candy will do the trick. Exercises I changed things up a little tonight. At the gym instead of running sprints I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill walking inclines, then tonight at home instead of elliptical and yoga I put in a Tae Bo DVD! I was getting bored with the elliptical, although it would have been easier than Tae Bo! That is a work out!

No Pizza, No Cake

Very good day! Two days in a row with no extra crap. Ate only my daily points. I did NOT give into the pizza or the cake at work today! The satisfaction of staying away is much better than the guilt of giving in! Lots of exercise today too, 30 minutes of weight lifting, 15 minute intervals on bike, 20 minute intervals on ellipitical, and 30 minutes of yoga! I think I may be back on the right track....

Success

Today was a good day just like I knew I could do! Ate only tmy 21 points, even wehn tempted by the chocolate I did not give in today! Yes! Got in 30 minutes of sprints today for exercise. Didnt get anything in extra at home because its my anniversary so instead of working out I did stuff with Bruce~
Tomorrow will be a challenge at work, a birthday cake for a co worker and its pizza party day for the behavior kids! I can do it!

Decent Day

For a Sunday when I generally have a hard time staying on plan I did fairly good today! I had a 6 point breakfast and because I was busy all day I did not have lunch. We were planing on going to Outback for dinner anyway so the skipping lunch was kinda intentional. At Outback I ate one piece of bread, had a salad with chicken on it for dinner and about or 6 bites of the the dessert that we got to share. Not bad considering I had 15 points for it. May have gone over a little but not all that much! I am determined to have a better week than last week.

Nothing!

Scale did not move this week! No loss no gain! I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks and its going to take me 6 weeks to lose it!

Finally!

Finally a day that was on track all day! I ate just my 21 points no more no less, no extras in cnady or soda. Although almost on the soda. I went to subway today for lunch, by the time I got there I was frustrated and hungry, got my sandwich and baked chips and drink. The tea machine was empty they only had Dr Pepper that I would drink so I got that. Not even Diet Dr Pepper so it was loaded with points. Well I took about 3 swallows of it and was disgusted so I threw it away and bought a bottle of water when I got back to work to eat with the sandwicch! Exercise was only 30 minutes of sprints, don't like to do too much on Fridays because I dont want to be retaining fluid from sore muscles on Saturday! One good day this week thats it! I have no confidence at all about the weigh in tomorrow! I wouldnt be surprised if I gained!

Why Can I Not Do This!

I can work this program! I know it but I just do not have any control right now and I feel like I am spinning out of control. Today I had no soda, but I resorted back to the chocolate! It doesnt even help it just makes me feel worse but I cant seem to stop. Again points would have been good and on target if not for the candy! Workout again good, 30 minutes weight, 15 minute intervals on bike, and 20 minute intervals on ellipitcal. Didn't work in the yoga tonight though. I just wish I could get back on track with the eating like I have the exercise!

One Junk for Another

OK Good stay mostly! Stayed with in my points today! No going over with bite size candy bars, just replaced it with a better but still bad choice. I never drink soda during the week, only on Saturdays. Today I had not one but two large Diet Dr Peppers from Sonic. So at least it didnt cost my any points just the caffeine and bloating from the carbination. Got in plenty of water today too so I guess its not all that bad. Todays work out was 30 minutes of sprints, 20 minutes of intervals on the elliptical and 30 minutes of yoga...maybe back on track!??...

Work Outs Great~Eating, Not So Much

I can not seem to get the cravings and urges to eat under control. Again it was a good points day for meals if I had stuck to it! I again snacked on a couple of bite size candy bars! I am so irritated with myself! On the good side of things I am kicking a$$ at the workouts! At the gym I got in 30 minutes of weights, 20 minutes of intervals on the bike that had my booty burning! LOL At home during biggest loser I got in 20 minutes of intervals on the ellipitcal and 30 minutes of yoga! I have just got to get the eating under control!

Back in the Groove...Maybe??

Well yesterday went OK! I stayed on points all day and was really good until late that evening. Bruce wanted to go get ice cream. I thought OK I have no points but a small cup of frozen yogurt would be ok and not put me over too much. Well, we went to Baskin Robbins and only frozen yogurt they had was vanilla. So instead I got a small cup of regular ice cream. Not a good choice but still not over too bad. I did not get the bike ride in on Sunday either, we were busy all day running errands and giving all the dogs baths!
So for today, I was again on points all day, slipped up a little with 2 bite size snickers. Not bad but over the points. But I do have activity points today to cover those two bite size bars. 30 minutes of HIIT sprints on treadmill, where I was able to get back up to 7.5 and 8mph today. 20 minutes of HIIT on elliptical and 30 minutes of yoga
So I am almost there, back into the groove of things, just having minor slips that I can get under control soon......I hope.....

5-1.8=3.2

Well of the 5 pounds I gained I have lost 1.8 of them! 3.2 to go to get back to where I was and get movign down again! Today is Sunday and normally I have a hard time sticking to the plan on Sundays but I am going to make a BIG effort to stick to it and maybe even work out which I don't normally do on weekends! Its going to be a really nice day so I am thinking of going for a bike ride later!~ Today is also "Doggie Bath Day" That alone can be a work out! LOL

Too Little Too Late!?

Today was a perfect day on plan! Ate all the right stuff and was within points! Got in just 30 minutes of sprint intervals today! Was going to do elliptical and yoga tonight but ended up going to the grocery store instead! So tomorrow is weigh in day! Was it too little too late today to show a loss on the scale tomorrow!? I am not over confident at all! I actually feel like I gained again! UGH!

Slipped Again

The day started off good! Got through a very point friendly breakfast and lunch! Mid afternoon trouble hit, in the form of 3 brownies! Sort of redeemed myself though! Dinner was 3 points so I still had 7 points left for the day((not counting the brownies)) I got in 30m of weights 15m of intense intervals on the bike, 20m of intense intervals on the elliptical and 30m of yoga. SO the activity points and the remaining 7 points should cover those blasted brownies!

Back in the Groove

Ok today I fianlly felt like I was totolly back on track! Ate good all day and stayed with in my points! For exercise I got in 30 minute of sprints, although they were even slower than Monday's! Most of them were at 6pmh some at 6.5 and one at 7mph. I just couldnt make my legs go any faster! They are sore and stiff from yesterdays weights and still tryign to work out the stiffness from no work outs for 2 weeks. At home tonight I did 20 very intense minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of yoga!

Better

So today was a better day! Stayed on points just like I needed to! And got in several work outs! 30 minutes of weight lifting, and YES I am feeling it after 2 weeks of no weights! 15 minutes of incline work on the treadmill, 20 minutes of the ellipitcal and 30 minutes of yoga! Now nothing left but hot shower and sleep...

Yoga~

I have always enjoyed Yoga since I started it a few months ago. Especially after running for a good stretch or when I have sore muscles. Today I discoverd the true spiritual feeling and relieve of Yoga. After 2 long weeks of stress that I could never imagine tonight the yoga was truly healing for me!

Back up a few days, I did weigh in on Saturday and I was up 5 pounds! Dissapointing but considering the last 2 weeks I can not get too upset about it. You would think that being up 5 pounds would have kicked me into gear to get back on track, but no it didn't. Saturday was totally out of control and Sunday started off good but I lost the control and slipped up again. Sunday was just a emotional day and I feed it with food.

Today was an OK day, could have been better but way better than the last few days. I got in 30 minutes of sprints and the yoga. Its amazing how much you lose in just 2 weeks! My sprints are normally 8-9mph. Today I was hurting at 7mph. Got in a few 7.5 but it was hurting too much~! I know it won't take long to get back up to 8 and 9mph so I will just keep working at it.

Starting Over

I have been off plan for 2 weeks due the hospitalization and death of my father! I know I have gained and its going to be big! Part of me is like so what!!! In the grand scheme of things weight gain compared to what I have gone through in the last 2 weeks is so not important. But then the other part is angry and frustrated for not sticking to the plan and allowing the gain. Not only the eating but not even working out. Tomorrow is Weight Watchers day. I have not decided yet if I will weigh in, even if I dont and wait until next week its still going to show a gain just a smaller gain.....
