Monday.....Weigh in day.......Thumbs down.

 I lost a whopping 1/2 of a pound.

I am like a pendulum going back and forth about my weighing in's.Obviously,it is all opinion.Some say that you should NEVER look at a scale,some say once a month,some say once a week and some say every day!

I am not sure I like weighing in RIGHT after a weekend.I think it discourages me.

I think I am simply going to weigh every day.Thats the way I like it.I will also be able to see what makes my weight go up and what makes it down.So there! Heather,you are the one who gave me the final shove when I read that you weighed every day! lol I personally just look So forward to stepping on the scale in the mornings! lol

Truthfully,I WAS discouraged today when I stood on the scale! I WANT TO SEE THE NUMBERS DROP! Will I *EVER* see them drop????? I know I will but I am getting a little bit impatient! lol

I think I am going to tweak a few things.

1.Saturdays..........I am not going to view them as a free DAY anymore although I am going to be a bit more liberal with what I eat if I want to.I mean,if we have something with more sugar in it than usual for breakfast,I will eat a LITTLE but still make sure the day is healthy.Once we start date night I am free completely.I want to keep a food journal for the whole day too until date night starts.


2.I want to fit ONE workout in during the weekend instead of having the whole weekend off.

If I don't have a good loss this week I am going to be cutting back my sugar calories even more.

I did excellent Sunday except for 6 cookies that I ate throughout Sunday night lol.Actually,I do not feel bad about them because they were in my limit.It gives me less for the rest of the week but thats fine.I only regret it because I ate them RIGHT before weigh in day!

Sunday's food

Breakfast-Large green smoothie with a small piece of chicken

Lunch- Small amount of chicken alfredo

Supper-Large salad (3 different kinds of lettuce,purple cabbage,red peppers,cauliflower,brocolli)with some cheese and sunflower seeds.

Dessert-Cookies (no white flour in them though......no flour at all and they are loaded with oats)

Lots of water but I didn't measure.....

I feel like eating chocolate today and pouting.I am not going back to that though.I KNOW that my body benefitted by all of the good choices last week.I did excellent.

I WILL do what it takes to lose this weight!

I have done good today although I have NOT worked out today because I have been talking to Scott alot AND I DON'T feel like it! I have had NO motivation ever since I stepped on the scales this morning......

It has taken me most of the day to write this post lol because I keep talking to Scott! :):) (Welcome interuption to my day!)

I am feeling better now.It is 1:30 and I am going to go walk 5 fast miles with Leslie Sansone! :) Like I said above,I will just keep making whatever changes I need to make until my weight DOES start dropping!

Downright DISCOURAGED!!!!

I am getting that old sinking feeling that I have undone everything over the last week.....I HATE THAT! I HAVE to just keep going........I will get past this......

Good morning!

I usually don't get on during weekday mornings because I  don't; turn my computer on until afternoon but this morning I needed to have it on for something so thought I would update and say that........

I am REALLY having a hard time getting back on it when I am in the middle of the week!!!!I told you that I like to start things on MONDAYS! lol AND I feel that I DID lose ground by having some time off.I didn't go all the way OFF but I still feel like I went BACK a few steps.I did not weight myself.....

Ok.....I just did and it is just what I thought.I am up a few pounds.SO DEPRESSING.Oh well......This is usually where I get discouraged and just quit but I can't do that.I am just going to go back at it TODAY.It is a new day,even if it is not a new week.Hopefully I can have things going in the right direction again by NEXT MONDAY instead of REALLY feeling like a failure on Monday.

I am getting really TIRED of not seeing the scales go down.

This morning I am going to have for.....

Breakfast......Green smoothie with cottage cheese (protein)

Lunch-salad (already made)

Supper-Soup/salad/bread (NOT much bread)

Maybe I will have a SMALL treat tonight during our "date" :) bu I am going to have NO sweets all day today.NOTHING more than what I said here except I may have a snack (apple and pbutter) if I get hungry between meals.

I plan on exercising too AND geting all of my water in!

Off for now!

Friday and digital scales,running......

I got some digital scales..........TOTALLY depressed that they say that I weigh 6 pounds MORE than my other scales said.......Oh well......My new weight?

226.4

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Another week with no loss.......BUT it is possible that that isn't true because I can't depend on what those other scales are saying. I do know that I am getting stronger! We did a kickboxing workout today that we used to think was so hard and when we were done we looked at each other and said "THAT was not even hard!!!".It was amazing!! PLUS Scott says that he can tell I have lost.He can tell that my skirts fit differently.That was motivating.

I was super discouraged today but the NICE thing was that my discouragment brought NO thoughts of quitting.Only of how I can tweak things to do better.THAT encourages me because my biggest enemy is QUITTING.So I was very encouraged that I was not feeling like giving up.

I forget what I ate yesterday but it was not too much.I did not get all of my water in.....Oh wait.....Yes I did.BUT I only exercised for 1/2 hour.

Today I got ALL my water and tea in and exercised for a full hour! :)

My workout song list so far? lol

Footloose
Lets hear it from the boy
Can't touch this
Step by Step (YES! lol NKOTB!)
Mony Mony

We have a blast dancing......

I did not keep track of my eating today.......I did not overeat on anything but I didn't have much produce.

I have kept in the limit for my sweets! TOMORROW is my free day AND date night! :)

I am VERY motivated lately by the fact that I can't even run without my shins hurting.I could not run for a long distance with comfort.How disgusting is that? I want to be limber and able to MOVE/RUN and just be in SHAPE!!!!

I have decided to give myself NO extra calories over Christmas:).I have enough already to work with and I am just going to keep it like that.I still need to post about my little SYSTEM!!! :):)

Well ladies......I am thrilled to be doing this with the both of you!!!!!

Love you! Good night!

Tuesday.....Doing better!

I finished last night off great and am doing great this morning.I am DONE weighing myself every day *atleast* until I get some better scales.

Breakfast today-1 egg and cheese tortilla with barbQ sauce
Snack-peanuts
Lunch-Oats with nuts,brown sugar and lots of butter
Supper-Didn't eat yet but it will be sausage/potato soup with hm bread of some sort.I will not over eat :).

Dessert-I will have some sort of dessert but within my calorie limit.Unless I say differently,you can assume that I am always sticking within my limit! I will be SURE to admit it if I fail! lol

1 hour of exercise......DONE:):):).

Doing great on my water and tea today.I did not get all of my water in yesterday because I didn't drink much starting out.I was 1 water bottle shy........62 oz instead of 96.I did get my tea in though.!

Anyhow,my attitude today is much better.I am very happy about that.Not nearly as discouraged! AND the best thing? When I WAS discouraged I did not QUIT or FAIL at ALL!!!! I kept going in spite of how I felt!! I am very glad about that.
