WGT LSS CHLNG Weigh In

[kelownagirl]

Happily down to 118.1 this morning, despite the cookies I ate last week. Hope it doesn't catch up with me later this week.

Ugh, the last week has been murder on my psyche! So, I'm not feeling it--not feeling like working on my food or exercise. I have been exercising, but on the weekend I had severe carb cravings ugh.

But, I bought a new better scale. It weighs me closer to the scale at the gym (with the body fat percentage matching, plus in line with the calculator someone posted here not too long ago). That means I'm kind of starting over...the carb binging is over, too.

Let's just say I've maintained this week.

Th roller coaster continues- up 1.2 pounds this week, after being down 1 pound last week. Very frustrating!

Of course, all that "cookie blubber" is piling on from making Christmas cookies.

Back down to 165, started at 170. Yay!

But we're throwing a housewarming party next weekend, so will also have the cookie-making hurdle to get over. Why is the dough so much harder to resist when it's raw?????

Ok, coming clean here... I joined this challenge what, 4 weeks ago, was it? Since then, I've gained 2 lbs. And I have really been horribly remiss at both working out and eating right. I have been very, very good at beating myself up though. Certainly not a good trend. Blech. It's really been a bad few weeks.

Anyway, I came to a few major realizations the other day. Today I've started a new 'plan' that is based on these realizations. It's time I put together a healthy eating plan that works the way I do. So I did, and I start today. As part of this start, I weighed in. 161.6. UGH.

That's ok. This plan is about moving forward for the right reasons. I'm not setting any long term goals (I suck at those), and I'm not putting together any long-term training plans (I also suck at those). I'm taking this day by day, choice by choice with my only goal being to feed my body right and to get moving. I will feel better and be healthier...and if I lose weight in the process, cool. I hope to be well on my way back to my old healthy habits by Christmas.

Starting weight was 154.5.

I'm happy to report that today I weighed in at 147.5, thanks (or no thanks!) to yesterday's colonoscopy.

Man, GLC, I hear you. I tried to get myself on track for months and months. Just in the last 1.5 weeks, I seemed to have turned a corner. I am restarting again, at 164. Ugh.

One thing that has helped me this week is that every night I have been emailing a friend my food log and calorie count for the day. That daily accountability is helping...I can lie to myself pretty well, but if I know I have to report it to someone else, well, I will tell the truth.

I'm Back!

My laptop has been fixed and had the computer guy come out and fix the wireless so I'm back! I've been going nuts not able to get online. It's really sad how much I depend on the internet to look things up, pay bills, fix meals, keep in touch with friends, etc.

Surprisingly I'm not doing bad with weight though my diet has not been good. I'm down to 159.5 YAY! It's nice to see the 150s again. I'm back into several pants, jeans, and tops that I haven't worn in about 3 years. I may not make 10lbs by Christmas but losing anything during the holidays beats the heck out of the 10 I normally PUT ON! I do need to focus on eating right though, I've been letting that slide. I also haven't been riding much. Ice turns me into a weenie and time has been short. I'm going to hit the health club and check out the spin classes.

I'll catch up on reading later but wanted to check in with my weight.

See, and I'm the other way around. I'm more honest when it's just me. When someone else see's it, I feel the need to make things looks better than they are!

Today is day 3 of my new 'plan' and it's going really, really well so far. I think I may have stumbled on to something here!
