Okay - I guess I'll tell you...


I'm down two pounds from Monday. Of course Monday I weighed in heavy. So it's probably really only one.

Ok, I have a confession to make.

Yesterday I had a good breakfast but it was later than ususal. When lunch came around, I worked right through it because I wasn't hungry yet (I didn't even noticed I'd done it). At 1:25, a coworker asked about a meeting we had at 1:30 and I realized that I hadn't eaten yet. I grabbed my HUGE bag of raw veggies (yay, me!) and ate it during the meeting. Unfortunately, that meeting was only 30 minutes because of a big all-hands meeting that lasted the rest of the afternoon. By the time I got home at 6, I was ravenous. I'd also forgotten to take out something for dinner, so we went out for Mexican.

Can you guess what happened? Starving me + big bowl of chips and kick-butt salsa = too much food! I had a healthy dinner entree (no drippy cheese or cream sauce or anything)....but I ate too many chips and was STUFFED. Blech.

Overall, my calories were fine yesterday, but that is NOT the way to do it. I'm back on track today, but I'm bloated and puffy feeling. Ick.

Confession over. I'm going to work extra hard to not let this huge meal set me up for over-eating all weekend. I WILL post a loss on Monday. I WILL.

I haven't been posting but I've been checking in on this thread once or twice a day and it is really helping me stay motivated!!! I've had a couple of very good days after a week of slipping, not badly, but enough to stall the loss.

thanks guys!!!

Still keeping on. I've been very very active this week. Have friends coming over for the weekend, and since I haven't had anyone over in a long while, there was A LOT of cleaning to do. I'll be cleaning up until they arrive, probably. (having folks over is a great motivator--I've even rearranged furniture and everything.) We're going to make hypertufa planters for my front porch all day tomorrow.

I haven't been on the scale since about Tuesday--but I have been getting up at 4-4:30 every morning so I forget to weigh. (Body clock just waking me up, so I get up.)

Because of all the work I've been doing, I'm uber-sore. Today at fitness boot camp we did all weight/strength training and we were SUPPOSED to leave sore. Well, I was sore when I got there, so mission accomplished!

I've been keeping up with my food intake, so I expect all this work to pay off. I'm going to weigh on Monday.

I've been at a conference all week and this is the first time I'm seeing this. I don't know if I can lose 10 pounds (I don't think that'd bring me to a healthy weight on my frame), but I definitely want more accountability for what I eat and how much I exercise. In January of 2004 I was fresh out of college working my first real job and weighing an unhealthy 160lbs on my 5'-1" body. I joined WW online and lost 30lbs just by dieting. I've kept that weight off and this summer, thanks to my new-found love of cycling, I've managed to lose another 5 and probably be the most "fit" I've ever been. But I have a long way to go. I'd love to lose that stubborn pouch on my stomach, to tone my arms up, and lose some more of the rear I haven't weighed myself in a week, but it was 123.6 then and I doubt it's changed much. Don't have home internet, so the earliest I can report in is next Tuesday. I'm having a housewarming on Sunday, so I'll have to be good and exercise lots during this 3-day weekend! It feels good to be motivated again!

Bleh...I came down with the cold DH had a week ago. Maybe it was a coworker. Moot point. I feel like cr@p. I can't remember the last time I had a cold. Right now the back of my throat is sore and my head is getting congested. Didn't think a sweaty hour on the trainer in the chilly garage sounded like a good thing at 4:30 this morning, so I slept in a bit. Taking Emergen-C, drinking lots of Lemon Zinger with honey.
Fridays are quiet at work and there aren't a lot of folks here, so I may bail out early if I can tie up some loose ends. Hoping I can keep from eating bad comfort food. There's a box of See's on the counter. No one has opened it yet. I hope no one will.

Sigh...
