Better...Somewhat

Didnt go crazy with points today stayed on track but still a struggle, temptations everywhere and I wanted them all! Got in a walk and 40 minute run today~! Now just chilling and watching Biggest Loser! Hoping next 3 days are good and have a decent loss on Saturday!

Struggles

Why is thsi getting so hard now! I have come this far so why am I struggling so much now! All day was a struggle to stay on points, and I slipped! AGAIN! Not too bad but enough to have to use activity points again! I had a chocolate chip cookie and a handful on MMs, the worst part is I fought off the demons all day it was the last 20 minutes of work that I caved! I really need to stop! Would have been a good on points day with out that! All in all ok I guess because with regular meals and snacks I still have 2 points that will go to that slip up and lots of activity points so I still come out ahead just hate that I caved and did not make good choices! Got in a walk at work, 50 minutes of weight training at the gym, a 20 minute run at home outside and 30 minutes of yoga! Tomorrow will be better! No slips!

Gained

Not only did I have a gain on the first week of maintenance but it was a big one! My leader says its "normal" that a lot of people have big gains the first week just because its adding in points and its different! Well different it was! Adding in extra points, cut back on running, added in more weight lifting that had me really sore, and I started my period all adding up to 4.8 gain! I just want to SCREAM! Unreal! So now I am back into "losing" mode at least have to loose 2.8 to get back into the maintenance range! I have 5 weeks to do that so I can do it just really DISAPPOINTED that I have to!
Today I was on track with points back down to 19, not adding in points this weeks since I need to loose! Ran for 45 minutes at the gym then went for a 2 1.2 hour walk..had to return books to the library so I walked to there returned them and walked home! My feet are killing me! After getting home I induldged in some activity points, given the fact I need to lose I shouldnt have but too late now! Rest of the week will be perfect! It has to be to lose 2.8

Gain!?

I really feel like I have gained this week! For several reasons, one the increase in points just has me scared, two change in workouts with less running, and three I started my period on Thursday! So I am just not feeling it this week, feeling a gain! I know its not that big of deal now because that is what the 6 weeks of maintenance is all about but I still hate to gain! Today was on track with points, got in a walk at lunch time and 35 minutes of running at the gym! Over 19000 steps on the pedometer as well, its been a busy day! Time to go to bed and see what the scale shows in the morning....

The Accomplishment!

Today was a good day! Even though I ate more than just daily points, I ate some activity points but the were well earned! Got in a walk at work today, then a 40 minute run at the gym. This evening Bruce and I went out for our evening walk and he was in a hurry and was walking way faster than normal and after just 2 blocks I could not keep up so I started jogging next to him to stay with him! I jogged the entire mile and a half! Anytime I have tried to run outside before I could not do it I couldnt breathe and it hurt really bad! NOT this time! My legs were shaking when we got home but I finished and it did not hurt(it might tomorrow though..LOL) So that is when I decided to dip into those activity points, I had 2 points 1 for WW string cheese stick and 1 for Kelloggs Fiber crackers! I feel so good right now I can not believe I did it!

MidWeek

It was a good day! On track with points including the extra points that I am still having a hard time with! You would think I would be happy to have more points to be able to eatmore food but it makes me really nervous! Anyway on track there. Got in a walk at work and then 45 minutes of weights at the gym. Was going to go for another walk this evening after dinner but I am too sore to move! LOL! The weight training is hurting! Did 30 minutes of yoga to help stretch out though so hopefully tomorrow it will be better!

Back To It

OK gotta back together today! Just hope its not too late because right now I feel like I have gained 4 or 5 pounds! I am allowed 2 pounds up or down but thats it! On track with points with better choices just feels like its too much with the added in points. Got in 2 walks and a 35 minute INTENSE run! I am very sore today too from the weights yesterday! Lifting again tomorrow so maybe that will help work some of it out~

3 days OFF Track

Just ended a 3 day binge! I SOOOO Need to get back on track! Not sure why I did it but I just know its time to stop and get back on track NOW! I have 4 days left of this week to get it together and some how manage not to gain more than 2 pounds! Maintance is harder than losing...

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost exactly what I needed .8!! Now I start the 6 weeks of maintance!

Coutndown to Goal~Friday!

Here it is Friday! Eve before the weigh in! The most important weigh in ever~ Got to the gym early this morning for a good hard 30 minute run~! Short on points today, better than going over I guess on a Friday! What worries me is I did not get to eat dinner until almost 9pm~! Always on Fridays I eat by 6pm No food No Water after 6pm! SO I am a little nervous about having to have eaten so late, but all I had was a mini turkey sub from Subway, with lettuce, carrots and cucumbers only~ SO it shouldne be all that bad~ Guess we will have the answer in the morning.......

Coutdown to Goal~Thursday

Its getting closer and I am getting more nervous! Today was an OK day! Did great for breakfast and lunch, dinner I am not sure. We had homemade spaghetti(homemade sauce) with whole wheat noodles and ground turkey. I had a small portion but failed to actually measure it out, also had home made garlic toast(sara lee bread so that was low point, with butter spray and garlic powder) so the toast was really low point. Just feel like I could have done better! Got in a 40 minute run this morning and a 30 minute walk in the evening. Tomorrow is the last day wil the work this week be enough for at least .8!?

Countdown to Goal~Wednesday

Well its been another good day right on track with points and plenty of exerise, a 40 minute run and an hour walk! I think I am doing ok but just not really feeling it! I am so anxious about this weigh in I just want to get it over! Right now I feel like I have just gained gained gained....will this week ever end!?
