Time to ReCommitt

Its been a long summer! A difficult one for me and my program! I really slacked off with the workouts partly I was lazy and partly my bosy so needed the break! Also with food! Did OK enough that I stayed at goal but it was a struggle! I still want to see if I can get to 135 and be comfortable there, I got to 139 for one week and its been up since, been bouncing around between 141 to 144 so still under goal! I am recommitting myself and get back on track NOW! Its going to be a rough one too, lots of emotional things going on in my life right now that will be a major struggle for me but I will do the best I can! Last weigh in I was 143.6, my goal for now is 144. Today was good day on points made good choices and stayed on track! Was going to go to the gym but did not make it had too many other errands to take care of and missed the few hours the gym was open. I did mow the yard today so that was for sure worth some activity points!

Missed The Gym

Did not make it to the gym today! Got stuck at work late with a out of control kid! I did get in over 12,000 steps today just at work, gave all the dogs baths and walked 3 miles! On track all day with points as well! So far so good! I am VERY VERY sore tonight though, it hurts to breathe!

Gym

It was back to the gym today and I am feeling it! On track with point all day, really back on track there! Exercise! 10,000 steps at work, 30 minute weight training, 20 minutes running on treadill, one hour walk with the dogs that also included some running! I hurt! And tomorrow it will be worse! The joys of pain!

What A Mess

Its been weeks since I have been here and what a mess its been! I have been off track , unfocus and out of control and the scale shows it! I am no longer 7 pounds under goal but back at goal! Time to get back on track! Its been a difficult summer but school has started againe and I am already getting back on track! I am refocused and re-determined! I will do this! I will not let it continue to slip away!

Stuggle

I'm having a hard time at it this week. I found out today I don't really have a place to live in 30 days and this week is the one year anniversary of losing my grandpa. This weekend seemed harder than normal to stay on track, its normally not as bad as this one was. I just don't want myself to settle for the weight I'm and i kinda feel like I'm. Not wanting to walk when its my time to walk. I need to stay home this weekend and get refocused on my plan and find a place to live. If the week isn't the best I will make sure next week is.

Monday and Tuesday

Got in 3mile walks both days as well as mowing the yard! On points good on Monday, a few over on Tuesday! Doing OK considering a week of "on the go all day" with mom!

Sunday

Not a perfect day but for the most part not bad! Started the day with a 3 mile walk. Made good choices on food all day except for one time at the mall I had a small brownie form the cookie factory! If that is the worst it gets all week I will be ok!

Review

I got busy the end of the week with a short visit with my nephews and my mom arriving in town! Just forgot to post! did OK I lost but not as much as I had hoped for! I lost just .6 still have one pound to go to get back into the 130s two pounds to go to get back to where I was before I had my 4 week slide! This week will be a challenge with my mom here we will be on the go so eating will not "planned" and I know I will not be weighing in this Saturday because I am doing a 5K race that morning! BUT I will do the best I can to keep on track and have a good week and a good week next week as well so hopefully in two weeks when I weigh in I will be back where I want to be!

Back At It

Today was good back on track! Right on with points with good choices! Got in a 3 mile walk, finally no rain thisevening, about 10 minutes on the stationary bike, and some yoga! Feeling good! We will see how good come Saturday!

Rough Day

Not so much of a good one today...lots of snacking on meaningless junk...not but I did it anyway! It WILL NOT happen tomorrow I WILL be in CONTROL! Got in 30 day shred today as well!

Rained Out Again

Another good day! On track with points and good choices! I had planned to go out for arun today but again I was rained out, so I popped in a oldie but a goodie..Walk Away the Pounds 3 mile DVD and then followed it with yoga!

Weekend Recap

OK so yesterday was weigh in day! It was down, not as much as I would have liked but at least it was down and in the right direction! Down one pound! Today has been a great day too, right on track with points still have 4 points left to eat. Exercise was to be a 3 mile walk but it got rained out so I did 30 day shred and yoga!

Good Week

Well despite what the scale shows tomorrow I have had a good week! The best one I have had in a month! Today was another good points day and got in a 3 mile run and an hour of yoga! Feel OK about weigh in not all that positive...

Still Trackin

It would have been sooooo easy to let that TOM interrupt me and get me off track the way I have been feeling! But I did not! I stuck to the plan today stayed on track with points and even got in some workouts even though I tried to talk myself out of it because I have not felt good to day at all! But I followed through! I got in 30 day shred, ab 6 mile bike ride and yoga! Not bad! Tomorrow is the last day! Weigh in day is coming soon...

Just When I Think..

I will have some good results on the scale this week because I have been on track all week and exercises! Mother nature came to visit! UGH! Man I can not get a break at all! Anyway its been a good day on track with points got in a 3 mile walk and some yoga! Just going to keep on track and see what will happen on Saturday!

Back In The Groove

I think I am there! I have been for 3 days anyway! Totally on track with points and making good choices as well and back to exercises! Today I got in 30 day shred, 2 mile run and 30 minutes of yoga!~

Re Committing~

I have been sooooo off track for several weeks, eating more than I should and not tracking. Not working out like I should! No more! Today is a a new beginning! I am recommitting right now! I will be back to where I want to be! I am still 3.4 pounds under goal but I dont like where I am I want to be lower back into the 130s. I have gained weight for 4 or 5 weeks not a little at a time but no more! Back to weight loss points, not maintenance points and back to working out!

OK

Another just OK day, over by 2 points, had to have a fiber one bar I was too hunger and had to have something I wasnt at home and I had that with me so it was the only choice at the time! Got in a 2 mile run and yoga today!

Not My Best Ever

It was an OK day! Not one of my best days! Just a little over on points by 2 but with healthy choices. Got in a workout with 30 day shred, had planned to run tonight but got home really late from a meeting so it was too dark. Will get it in tomorrow! Better on point tomorrow too!

First Day Back In Control

Today was it! First day back in control and back on track! Right on track with points and with tracking as well! Actually was one point under today. Got in a 3 mile walk and yoga as well! I am determined to have a good week and get back in control and get back under 140.

Frustrated

OK I was up again this week! Still under goal but still up! Its because I need to get seriously back on track! The last several weeks I have only half hearted put in the effort and have not been tracking like I should! Its time to get SERIOUS again and get back to loosing!

Friday

Good points day all day and LOTS of activity. We went to Eagle Moutain Park and walked the trails! WOW!! Up and down rugged terrain for nearly 3 hours! I am exhausted! More from the heat than than the trails! Tomorrow is weigh in day! Still feeling pretty good about having some good results but just a little nervous...never know what that scale will show!

Thursday

Thursday was another good points day on track and got in a walk! Tomorrow is weigh in day, not sure how I feel about it..I feel OK that maybe I have lost but its been a weird week and lots of changes to eating and working out so not sure how it will go!

Monday-Wednesday

I knew I hadnt posted here in a few days but did not realize it was 3 days! Monday was OK! On points but did not get in any activity just had a busy day and ran out of time! Tuesday and Wednesday were good! On track with points and got in walks both days 3 miles on Tuesday and 4 miles on Wednesday plus some yard work on Wednesday as well...Today is Thursday and so far on track with a good start..plan to keep it that way..

The Weigh In

Well it was OK! Still up from my lowest of 139 but down from the gain of the previous 2 weeks! I was just over 143 with the gains but today I weighed in at 140.8 so I am on the right track and will be back in the 130s soon!

The Eve Of Early Weigh In

Here it is Thursday night! I can not believe I am actually going to weigh in a day early! Weird for me! Today has been a good points day no problems! Got in a 2 mile runa and a good hour of yoga! Not really sure what the scale will show in the morning but I am ok with whatever it is...unless of course its a BIG gain but I dont think it will be!

Cruising Along

Its weird how one minute I am struggling and just cant seem to be in control and the next I am so in control its like I was never off track! Another good day! Right on track with points all day no stuggles and got in a 3 mile walk and stress relief yoga! Even though my fingers still seem to be a little swollen and retaining some fluid I feel OK about weighing in this week and even a day early! I dont think I will be back at 139 but thats OK I know I will get back there soon and then some as well! Just feels good to be back on track!

Feeling Back In Control

Day three and still on track! Yes! I really feel like I am back in control! Right on track all day with points and feeling good about choices! Got in day 2 of 30 day shred, working out some soreness from day one...a 3 mile walk and relaxing with yoga! My Saturday meeting is not meeting this week due to 4th of July so I decided to go to meeting on Friday to weigh in since I have not weighed in for 2 weeks I decided its time to get back to the scale no matter what it says, it still may be up a little this week due to the increase of exercise but thats ok I am back in control that is what matters!

On A Roll

2 days on track so far! LOL! Right on track with points today! Got in a 2 mile run and some yoga today! My legs are hurting from the 30 day shred yesterday! Ouch! My fingers are still really swollen so I must still be retaining a lot of fluid! Hoe it goes away soon!!!!

Good Start

I think I am back in control! I have had a good start to the week~! Been on points all day with good choices! Yes!! Started something new today for workouts...Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! Day one on level one and it kicked my A$$! Just not motivated to get to the gym to lift weights so thought I would try this and then get back to gym in a few weeks! Also got in a 3 mile walk! Then finished the evening with some relaxation yoga! Feeling good about the start! Still feeling BLAH my fingers are still swollen and still having cramps but not as bad as yesterday! Hoping for a good week! Although this Saturday WW is closed for the 4th so I am thinking of going to a meeting on Friday morning to get in a weigh in so that will help me keep focused and on track this week! Want to be back into the 130s this week or next!

So NOT Happening Today

When I got up this morning I KNEW I was not weighing in! Since I started last night the cramps have gotten horrible! I have never had cramps like this before and my fingers were so swollen they hurt so I knew I would be up just with blody fluids! No scale for me this week! BUT no more excuses! This week its back to BUSINESS!!

Just When I Thought It Was Safe...

Just when I thought it was safe...that I may actually have a decent weigh in tomorrow despite all the struggles I have had this week...my monthly visitor showed up today! Sooo for now I have not decided if I will weigh in in the morning or not..depends on how I feel when I get up! Today has been a good points day! Totally on track! Got in a good 2 mile run and yoga!

Running and Yoga

Today was a another good day! Right in rack with points and not too many struggles to keep on track! Got in a 2 mile run and then stretched out with some stress relieving yoga! WOW! I didnt realize until tonight how much I miss running and yoga! I soooo need to keep up with the yoga every week!

Better...

Today was even better than yesterday! Still a struggle but good enough to stay on points all day! Hopefully that will continue on...Got in a 3 mile walk tonight too with me favorite walking partner NickySmiles! It was a Texas scorcher too! Undecided at this time on if I will weigh in on Saturday or not.....

Almost There

Today has been a better day but far from what it should be....I was just over points, having a hard time not snacking on not so good choices! Getting better just need to work a little harder! Got in some activity as well..all SIX dogs got a brushing and a bath tonight! That was a workout! LOL! Also got in a 3 mile walk! On the right track and almsot there...

Back on Track

Well as you can see I have not been on here for over a week now! Not a good week! Mostly I was not on because I was EMOTIONALLY EATING ALL WEEK! Not a pretty sight on the scale! Partly I was not on because of time restraints last week had me on the go and home late every night! So between emtional eating and not working out...like I said not a pretty sight on the scale! Not sure really how bad it was because I did not weigh in on Saturday but I do know that it was high enough gain that this week will probably still show a gain. I am still struggling to get back on track! The last 2 days I have done great all day until evening then it all comes crashing down again! Going to try harder tomorrow to get in back on track! I did get a 2 mile walk in today so I guess we are heading in the right direction....

So So..

Did the best I could this weekend, it seem harder this weekend to stop and think about what I was eating instead just of eating. I had one so so day of food choices and the rest were better. So we will see how this plays out, but one weekend wont ruin my week! Today was a struggle I didn't wanna walk just a lot to do but I got out and did it as much as I wanted back out I didn't. Its easier to give in but much worth it not to it!!

Slightly Down

Lost .8 this week! Not much but at least it was down~!

Wonderfulness...

I never thought in a million years that I would sign up for WW and lose 40 pounds in a 4 months. I been staying within my points and adjusting the foods I eat to get the most out of them. I do go over for beer but a girl gotta have a few from time to time. Last week was different I had a bad sinus headache for a few days so I took off from walking the first in 17 weeks. I still pulled 3.2 loss. But I cant keep that up and walk a 3k in 45 mins!!

Here It Is Friday Again

Well its been a good day! Stayed totally on track with points, always do on Fridays! LOL! Got in a 2 mile run this morning as well! Still feeling like I will gain and mostly because I am just feeling bloated and I know I am retaining fluid and I am sore from the weight training this week! Never a good sign for the scale..guess we will have the answer in the morning!

Another Day Gone

Not a bad day really, stayed on points and got in a 2 1/2 mile run! In the rain even! LOL Whats a litle thunderstorm?? Not going to stop me! LOL! OK so I waited until the lightening quit before I went out! One more day..fingers are feeling all swollen again...not having a good week!

Staying On Track

Today had been a good day! On track all day with points and made some good choices. Got in 20 minutes of weight training(Boot Camp Biggest Loser style!) And an hour and 20 minute walk with the dogs! Fingers not as swollen today was before but stil lnot feeling like a good week! I know I say that every week though....

Last 2 Days

Have been OK days! Yesterday I was on track with points as I was today as well! Yesterday I got in 20 minute of weight training and an hour of mowing the lawn! Today I got in a 3 mile run! Been feeling very bloated and my fingers are a little swollen! Not a good sign!

OK Day

It was an ok day! Used all daily points and the activity points that I earned today! Not exactly how I wanted to start the week but its done and over now and will be better tomorrow! My activity earned today was a 3 mile run! And boy was it HOT! Need to go earlier or later in the day!

OMG!!!!

I am sooooooo shocked right now! I LOST this week! 2.6! I am now out of the 140s and into the 130s! Barely but I am there! 2 tickers today! First one is the one I was working on of a goal of 140...passed it today~! Second on is the new goal of 135....

Gain? 2 Weeks In A Row?

Thats what I feel like right now! I have never gained 2 weeks in a row but last week I was up .6 and I reallly feel like I am going to gain again tomorrow! On track with points today, got in a 2 1/2 mile run! Just not feeling it!

SoSo Day

Not the best day ever and so close to weigh in day that makes me nervous! Great breakfast healthy and low point. It was the last day of school so the behavior team all meet for lunch at a mexican place! I had NO chips and salsa! Had only a taco salad and I ate about half of the bowl from that. I had no dinner tonight only because I never really felt hungry at all. So all and all probably right at points not too bad I guess. Got in just one walk today for about 45 minutes with the dogs! Got to have a great day tomorrow and pray for a good weigh in on Saturday~

The Furry Orange Monster...

The Furry Orange Monster...Hungry won out breifly today! I ate a donut! But quickly got myself back on track and followed out my plan for the dy! SO yes I am over points today! Got in a 20 minute walk, a 30 minute bike ride and a 3 mile walk! Feeling OK despite the donut. Still fighting the emotional demons but I think I can face them tomorrow and beat off Hungry!

Emotional Times

Wow I must have really been out of it last night because I did not post on here! THe last 2 days have been an emotional struggle!! I have so far survived the eating side of things and have stayed within points! Attitude wise I am feeling very down and depressed! AS far as exercise goes yesterday I got in a short walk and a 2 mile run. Today I got in a short walk a 30 minute weight training session and a 3 mile walk! Just have to keep fighting off the emotional eating......

Was Up

I was up this week just a little .6 so not too bad, was a little dissapointed that I gained but its all good! Today has been a good day! Totally on track, even though I have wanted to eat just mostly out of boredom I have not given in! Got in a 2 mile walk(too hot to do all 3) then mowed the yard which took an hour again in the 90+ heat! I am exhausted! Going to bed early tonite!

blah...

Feeling really blah today. Trying to stay within my points and not do anything crazy. I haven't walked yet today don't know that I will. I normally take two days off a week and lately I haven't been. And all the activity I have been getting down at the lake house, I think has been taking a toll on me. I just feel run down I hoping that these two day will give me the energy I need.
down another 1.8 this week, only 4 pounds from 40! WOW! I cant believe it. I'm still getting use to shopping for clothes.

Time Again

Its that time again! Weigh in day is tomorrow morning! I am not looking forward to it I just dont feel like I have had a good week at all and with the emotional stuff I have been dealing with all week a gain will just push me over the edge! I have been fighting the binge eating off all week and I am not sure I can fight it off anymore! Did stay on points today but it was a struggle! Not much in exercise either just a 20 minute walk and a short 3 mile bike ride! Tomorrow will be the moment of truth!

Running Again

Strange! How it just hits you! Around 2pm this afternoon I just decided it was time, time to start running again! So I did! I ran 2 miles outside after work! It felt awesome! I had lost that feeling from running so I am glad it is back! Also got in a 20 minute walk at lunch and 3 mile walk this evening! Totally on track with points today as well! Still not feeling a loss this week its been a rough week so maybe thats it! We will see come Saturday!

Back On It Today

Well today was much better wasnt struggling with wanting bad food all day long like yesterday! Stayed right on track with points with good choices. Got in a walk at lunch, a 40 minute bike ride and a 3 mile walk this evening! Feeling OK! Not really feeling like I have lost this week but at least maybe maintaining!

Off Again

I am just feling off the game again struggling to stay on points and not really wanting to work out! I was over by 2 points today but I did workout, still not feeling like I want to run so I rode my bike and took a walk that got cut short because of the rain! Hopefully tomorrow I will be back on track..

Shopping

what an AWESOME weekend! My mom was here and we did a lot of shopping! I now have a closet full of clothes that FIT!!! not too big! What a great feeling too! I was buying pants/shorts that were a small size 6! shirts that are smalls and mediums!! I have always wanted a cute short summer dress but never bought one because I felt horrible and looked horrible i was too fat! well this weekend not only did i get one but FOUR!! and they are so cute and I think I look good in them!! what a GREAT feeling!

Are You Kidding!?

DOWN!! 2 pounds! WOW is all I have to say!

Moment Of Truth

Well here it is the eve before the weigh in! We will know in the morning how the week off has effected me! Way nervous and anxious!! Today was a good points day even with being on the go all day out shopping with mom I made good choices and stayed within points! No walk but did get over 10000 steps on the pedometer from shopping! Reality check in the morning what will it bring!?

WOOHOO!!

I made 199 today! I'm just so proud of myself!! Yesterday was also month 7 without a smoke!! Down 4.2 this week to make my total loss 34.8! I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing it seems to be working. Got my kettle bell and its time to start! I got to go shopping and got stuff in the regular people section, the section that I would only go into to find my mom..LOL! It was neat and scary at the same time..Its only going to get better!! I'm just so happy!! :)

Getting Nervous

Another good points day today no problem! Got in a 20 minute walk and a 3 mile walk today and that was it! I can not believe I have not been to the gym all week and I have not ran! I am really getting nervous about how this will effect the scale on Saturday! Tomorrow will more than likely be a no workout day at all because my mom is visiting, we may get in a walk but not sure! just hope this decision was not a bad one~!

Another "Easy" One

Well today wsa pretty much just like yesterday! On track all day with points, doing good there! Got in a good 25 minute walk at lunch, a 45 minute bike(even though I really wanted to go run) and a 3 mile walk! My body is feeling good with the lighter workouts my head is not! Having lots of doubts to as if this was a good idea or not! Just not feeling it! Just hope it pays off and I have a loss this week! After the gain last week I can not take another one!

Easier Workout Week

May not be a good time for this but I have decided its time to take a "break" from the long and intense workouts! Mainly running! Just a week thats it! Thats probably all I could stand! LOL I SOOOO wanted to run today but did not! My body is tired and achy that is why I decided it was time! Soooo today I walked at lunch 20 minutes then after work instead of running I took a 45 minute bike ride then went to the park and got in a 3 mile walk! I am nervous about how this will effect the scale this week! Time will tell!

Good Start

Today was a good day! I stayed within the points no issues there. Stayed ahead of the hungry! I even talked to some old friends, walked and had a great dinner. No complaints here! I finally reached 30 and couldn't be happier. Things are headed up for me :)

Better Than Last Sunday

This Sunday has been way better than last Sunday! Today I was on track and stayed within my points! Went to the dog park today and walked around the park while the puppies played! Then also got in a 3 mile walk with Nicole! Overall not a bad day!

Gained

Gained today 1.6. Besides having an emotional week I started my period yesterday so not really surprised with the gain! A little disappointed, how can you not be but OK with it because I am still under goal! Also re-thought my next "goal" of 135. It was putting me into lose lose lose mode and that is not what I really want! I am happy where I am just wanted to continue to tone up lose inches and with that will come off some weight as well. I just want to relax and enjoy the new me not have the pressure. So smaller steps! So now I am just aiming for 140 and losing inches around the middle!

Not So Much Today

So yesterday I was feeling a little better but I am so NOT feeling it today! I am pretty sure I will have a gain this week! Feeling blah and have the start of cramps...so we all know what that means! UGH! Today was a good points day though and got in a 20 minute walk, 30 minute easy run and 30 minute of mowing the knee deep grass! LOL! That was more of a workout than running today! Guess nothing more I can do, just wait and see what the scale shows tomorrow!

Feeling A Little Better

My fingers were not as swollen today and my rings were actually really loose! A good sign I guess but still not feeling all too confindent about good results on the scale! Today was a good day! Right on track with points no problem there! Got in a 20 minute walk, 45 minute run with sprints and a 3 mile walk this evening! My knee is sore so now its time for relaxation and a ice pack!

Still Pushing Through

Another good day! In control of emotions and in control of what I am eating! Stayed right on track and with in points. Got in a 20 walk, 40 minutes of weight lifting and a 3 mile walk at the park with NikkiSmiles! LOL!
Anyway..still feeling all fat and nasty and just feeling Blah! Really hoping it goes away and the scale is good on Saturday I will take a loss or a maintain! But no gain please! Even at Lifetime this is a struggle and a never ending process!

Feeling Fat

I am feeling like I am not going to have a good number on the scale this week! I am feeling fat! My fingers are swollen and I feel yucky! Other than the bad 2 days on the weekend I have been on track the rest of the week so I dont know why I am feeling this way! Today was good too! Right on track with points! Got in a 20 walk and a 40 minute interval run! I am sore from weights yesterday my upper back, biceps and legs are hurting! Maybe that is why I am feeling this way! Fighting the urge to peak at the scale I really dont think it would be a good thing to do this week so I am going to try as hard as I can not to give into that! Just wait until Saturday!

Not bad...

The first of many lake weekends was a success! I was very active moving beds and boxs, even got in a walk on Sunday. I went into the weekend telling myself, Do the best u can with what is available. I did my best everyday to get in everything even tho it didnt happend and I end up over points the 4 days due to drinking. Im okay with it. I did my best. Once we are settled I can do better..Cant wait to go back!

Getting Back On Track

Still fighting alot of emotions today but I did not feed them with food! Was tempted to but did not give in! Stayed on track with points all day. Got in a 20 minute walk, 40 minutes of weight training, and a 3 mile run! I can feel it tonight so I am sure I will be sore tomorrow! Just sat in the hot bath and soaked and took some ibprofen! Ready for bed now!

Emotional Bingeing

Has not been a good weekend for me! Been on an emotional binge eating spree! Not to mention that I think I have only slept maybe 7 hours total the last 3 days. I knew it was emotional because every time I turned around this weekend I was crying! At anything and everything! I could not figure out why?? what was bothering me so much?? I had suppressed it! Until 5pm this evening and it hit me hard! I cried some more but then took control and but down the food I was feeding the emotions with! My mother and some other family members were setting the military plaque in cement at my daddy's grave site today! I knew it my mom had told me it was happening today but I pushed it so far back in my head that I had "forgotten" So all weekend I have been crying and eating and crying and eating and kept telling myself I didnt know why I was so upset! Once I "remembered" it was all too clear and at that very instance the in control person I am was back! Do I feel bad about what I ate this weekend? Yes! But I am forgiving myself not dwelling on it and moving forward! As of this very minute I am back and if it causes me to have a gain on the scale this week..SO WHAT!? Its just one of life speed bumps that is going to happen along the way, just have to deal with it and move on and be the best that I can be! I did get in a 3 mile walk this afternoon so it wasn't a complete waste! LOL!

Size WHAT???

OK first thing first I did lose this week! 1.4! wohooooooo!!

My shorts I was wearing today I just bought 2 months ago were falling down so after the meeting I went shopping for a few new pairs! Bought 2 IN A SIZE 6!!!!!! Are you kidding me!?!?! I have never been a size 6! I was so shocked and thrilled I almost started to cry!! Size 6! WOW~!

One Week Past Lifetime

So even though I am a lifetime member I am going to continue to weigh in every week! Tonight is no different than any other Friday night! I am anxious about the weigh in! I know its OK if I gain because I am more than 2 pounds below goal but I still have that fear of gaining and do not want to gain! I still want to lose!
Today was a good day, right on track and really good choices! Got in a 25 minute walk and a 45 minute run! Tomorrow will tell if the week was good enough for a loss!

The scale love is back

I'm back down!!! Woohoo lost 3.8 today!! What a week I have been so stress I didn't let it get to me , high 5! The walk was lovely I needed that more than I think I knew Shelly! U ROCK!! love u 2!
Got the first of many lake weekends, I'm going to do the best I can with what is available and not stress about it. I'm not perfect and I shouldn't try to be. (after thought I just shared that with the Internet world, Sh*t)

Encouraging!?

Today was a good day! Totally on track with points, could have made some smarter choices in points but did not go over! Got in a 20 minute walk at lunch, 45 minutes intense sprints/run, and a 3 mile walk with NikkiSmiles! LOL! Love you Nicole!
I have been feeling all week kinda blah and feeling like I have gained! So of course this morning I get on the scale! Really I need to stop doing that! Anyway yes it did show a small gain but still under goal so thats good, the encouraging part is tonight I was trying to weigh something else and it was so light I could not get it register on the scale, so I stepped on the scale fully dressed and with my shoes on after a long day of eating and activity and it showed a gain from this morning which of course I expected but it was not a big one just 3 pounds WITH SHOES! That is a good thing! Maybe this morning my little up was just some water...not to stressed about Saturday now at least not more than I ever am! LOL!

New Ticker

Today was a good day was over on points just by 2 but had activity points to cover it( and thats figuring 19 points not maintenance points so I was really on track) Got in a 25 minute walk and a 30 minute endurance run with some small inclines! I have decided what the new ticker below my posts will be! Even though I am Lifetime I still want to lose a little more, my goal was to get to what my doctor wanted and I did now my goal is to get to where I want to get! As of last Saturday I was 143.6 and I want to shoot for 135. Evenutally maybe more but I am going to take small steps and see how difficult it is to maintain there or maybe go lower! So going to get a new ticker starting at 143.6 to countdown to 135! Going to go make it now and add it in!

Back On Track Tuesday

Much better today! Back on track and totally on points like I need to be! Got in a walk at lunch (20 minutes), a good 40 minutes of sprints and a 3 mile walk! Just hope yesterday didnt do too much damage!

Oh my..just breath..

My life has just been getting to me. Work, issue with some friends everything. I have been within points and walked everyday. I'm still just stressed more than normal. I think I'm just letting the little things get to me.I'm grateful that I get to go away this weekend I hope the refresher I need. Think I even try out the margarita recipe I got online..

Not A Good One

The stress of some events from yesterday HIT HARD today and resulted in some poor choices and over eating! Only got in a 20 minute walk today as well, never made it to the gym because I had to go to a WW meeting for training and got home too late! I WILL I WILL be back on track tomorrow and will hit the gym hard the next 4 days! This is a one day slip not a fall!

Life on Lifetime

Well day one of Lifetime went ok! Stayed on track all day with points, had some struggles..fighting the emotional demons..but fought them off! Got in a 4 mile walk with Sole Patrol as well. Had planed to go for a 3 mile run as well but it didnt happen tonight other things came up! I am ready to face the week and start living Lifetime!

Its weird having a post with not countdown ticker......

It's a new week..

I have recovered from my small and minor gain..Its nothing in the whole picture. I'm not going to change anything I'm going to stay focused and on the plan. Here to a new week and better yet a new me!! Gotta get ready for sole patrol....Walk it out!!

LIFETIME!

Well I did it!! Lost 2 pounds which was .4 too much had to put on clothes to actaully weigh more to be in "range" LOL! But I am now a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers!

Now what I am going to do for a ticker!?!?!?

life's paper cuts

Okay I know how stupid this is but this is how I react to things. I went up for the first time, it was only .2 but its my first positive I have had on my journey. I stayed within the points and walked more, I did nothing wrong my bodies I guess wasn't feeling it. Aunt Flo is suppose to be coming to visit as well. I just have to keep working the program cuz it does work or I would not have lost what I have. I'm still a shinning star and nothing going to change that. I'm just going to keep truckin'...

Congrats to u Shelly for beating that Orange fur ball!! UR AWESOME, I'm glad i have u on my side!

Week 6 Maintenance Weigh in!

Here it is week 6! The FINAL weigh in for Lifetime! I cant believe it is actually here! I am so nervous! Tody was good day on points nothing crazy or anything extra! Only got in a 35 minute run today! Missed my walk at work and did not go tonight with Bruce just wanted to chill out and relax! Its like Christmas Eve I just want to go to bed so morning will come!

Yesterday was Good!!

I really controlled what I ate yesterday and got through the cravings. I am going to go buy some plain popcorn to use a munchies when I have these cravings. I have not exercised yet, but will be getting that done today also. Thanks for the encouragement.

Moving Right Along

Keep on truckin...or trackin in this case! LOL Totally on track all day no slip ups of any kind! Got in a 20 minute walk, a 45 minute sprints/run and a 3 mile walk this evening that had be sweating like crazy that humidity is crazy! One more day and its the big weigh in day! I am so nervous and so excited at the same time!

Is today the day????

I like the quote on willpowerand it fits me to a tee. I wake up each morning with the the idea in mind that today is the day that I will change, but go to bed each night failing. Hopefully today I can succeed.

1/2 Way Through The Week

Wow its Wednesday already! Half way there to the final countdown to LIFETIME! I cant believe its almost here and its really going to happen! Today was another good day on points! I am on a roll! Got in a 20 minute walk, and 2 mile run and a 3 mile walk(1 hour)...most of the walk was in the rain as well! 2 more days and the big day will be here!

Taks Temptations

Taks Testing started today and all the food temptations that come with it! I survived day one! No BLTs no extra points on anything! Stayed totally on my plan and only ate what I had planned to! Right on track with points. Got in a 25 minute walk and a 35 minute run of sprints! 3 more days!!

One Day Down, Four To Go

This is going to be the longest week ever! Taks Week and countdown to Lifetime! Kinda good I guess they fell the same week, makes it a little bit easier to avoid all the junk food in the lounge for Taks when I know this weeks weigh in is so critical!
Good day on points, dinner was higher than planned so I used a few activity points. Got in a 25 minute walk, a 3 mile run and 45 minutes of yoga! Now...its time for a hot bath and let the body soak!

Return To Yoga

This was the best Sunday I have had in a while! Maybe its because I have just this last week before lifetime! Not sure but whatever it was it was a good one. Totally on points today with no struggles or anything extra. Susdays are usually a challenge but not today! Got in a 3 mile walk with my Sole Patrol buddies, also got in a 3 mile run after the walk. And I returned to yoga. Got in 30 minutes of yoga just now. I have not done yoga in almost 3 weeks, it felt good to get back to the stretching and stress relief that it brings. Hope to get it in a few more times this week!
This week is going to be a rough one, its Taks Testing week so there is going to be food food and more food at work but I am determined to not give in and stay on track!

Down

Was down one pound today! So I am below goal a little now! yes!! Next week is the last week of maintenance, I can gain no more than 2.4 or lose more than 1.6 this next week! I can do that! If I do lose more than that then I will just add on some clothes! LOL!

Week 5 Maintenance Weigh in

Had to have been water retention from the millions of miles I walked on Wednesday and all that water I drank that day, more like the 48oz of water I drabk after 8pm that night that had the scale up so much on Thursday, because today it was down 2 pounds! Hope that trend continues into tomorrow morning!
Today was a really good day on points, still have 2 left to use. Got in a 20 minute walk at lunch then after work went for a 2 mile run outside, 2 miles in 25 minutes! Not a bad time at all! Tomorrow is week 5 weigh in,just one more week to Lifetime!

Today is AWESOME

I got my 10% and 25 pounds double whammy! I couldn't be prouder!! Monday was also my 6 month with out smoking. I could ask for more right now! Now the next goal be under 200!!

Why Did I Peak?

Started the day off on a bad note, something possed me to step on the scale! WHY!? I know I shouldnt have done it but I did..it showed I was up 2.6 HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!! REALLY?? So of course now I am just totally stressed out about weighing in on Saturday. It has to be water retention from something it really cant be gained weight? Guess we will find out for sure on Saturday! Today was a good day on points of course I was being extra cautious after seeing the scale. Got in a 25 minute walk and a intense 45 minutes speed drills on the treadmill. Hopefully from today and what I do tomorrow the scale on Saturday will be better!

Walking Away Wednesday

Its been a day of walking! At school it was the Diabetes Awareness Walk Day. All the PE classes went out on the track to walk laps for a fundraiser. I walked a total of 20 laps(5miles) not including all the other normal day to day walking in the school and the walking to and from the track! Logged over 20000 steps. Went to the gym for 45 minutes of weight training, the off for more walking at the park for another 3 miles! I need water and a shower. Did I mention it was 95 degrees today! On track all day with points as well, ate 1/2 of a donut threw the other half away but with that still on points!

Only Tuesday!?

Really is it only Tuesday! This week is going slow! I cnat believe I just have 11 days until Lifetime and its going to be the slowest 11 days ever! LOL Today was good on points all day with no problems! Got in a 25 minute walk at lunch then came home instead of the gym to enjoy the nice weather and ran 3 miles outside! Took me 50 minutes but thats because my goof ball husband went to and stopped 3 times, once to retie his shoes and I swear it took him 2 minutes, once to stretch((AFTER we had already started..yes I was annoyed) and then 3rd time that took at least 5 minutes to return a stry dog to his owner! With out all those stops I could have made it 40 minutes I am sure! Jerk! LOL!

So far so good...

I have stayed with in my points, which just keeps getting easier. I have walked everyday. I even tried a jogging little and walked a little more at the park. I just hope I have done enough to get what I need to make 10%. I'll just get upset if I don't get it this week, even tho I shouldn't. I have changed my eating habits so much and I'm even exercising. Which are worth so much more. I just feel by me getting my 10% its like my trophy. All I can do is keep doing what I'm doing. And not discouraged whatever happens.

Another Active Day

A little shaky on points, dipped into the activity points, but then again I have earned 20 pts in the last 2 days! I think it may be ok to eat a few! Today I got in a 25 minute walk at lunch, 50 minutes at the gym weight training, then at home tonight I went on a 45 minute bike ride followed be an 50 minute walk! Oddly enough I am not tired! Still very energized and ready to go! But going to go relax and watch some TV!

Lovely day in the park

I have had a lot of good days lately. I haven't gone over my daily points in weeks. I'm keeping focused on my points. I don't want to do anything this week to mess up I want to get my 10% goal on Thursday. I started the walk/run program on Saturday. It went well, I was out of breath however. But I can only get better. I got to walk today with Sole Patrol, Its nice to walk with other people who have the same goals as me. I was so impressed with myself we walked 4 miles as a group, I hope to make more of those. Lake time is coming and I can't wait for that, I will still walk at the lake but a girl needs her jet ski time. It's one of my favorite things!

Shelly it was great today!!

Walking and Walking

OK ot catch up I did gain this week! 2 pounds! Which is OK! I was already 2 pounds below goal so I really was not supposed to lose anymore anyway so gaining 2 puts me back at goal! My monthly visitor came the same day as weigh in day so I think that had most of the 2 pounds in gain so actually I probably maintained! Whatever its all good! 2 more weeks and LIFETIME!
Today was good! On points and good choices! I did eat 2 activity point because I was too HUNGRY! That is because I earned 10 activity points in walking! Went to the park today for my WW walking group and walked 4 miles!! Then came home and went on a 3.1 mile walk/jog with Bruce! Now its time for ibprofen and hot soaking bath! Ready to face a new week and each day brings me closer to Lifetime! WoHoooo!

NikkiSmiles!! Had a blast today! See you Thursday!
