Week 3

Yay * High Five * YA!
I've lost weight.

For last week, I dont know if I gained as much as the paper said or if it was a misprint because there
was a couple things wrong on my record sheet, and I dont know what was wrong
because I wasnt looking at my weight. Now I will always look at my weight.

Anyway I've lost! And this is the only way that I will be proud to say I've lost :)

Also at work, there is a clinic coming to measure the fitness level of people that have
signed up for it. I signed up. Then they will be back in 6 months to measure again.
Yay for motivation
Also, (lol) at work, they started a fit in 5 club. Everyone puts in $25, measures up. Then
the person with the most % lost at the end of June wins the pot. With 13 or so ppl signed up
that makes for some good motivation again! Im gonna win that money *winks.

My secrete this week - celery - lol - and 95% fat free whip cream, with angel food cake.
Oh and for breakfast, a satisfying peice of toast, little margrine, hard boiled egg with the yoke
taken out, and 1/2 slice of fat free cheese all together like a sandwich with a side of fruit. Mmmm

This week goal: more activity - at least 3 times during the week!
Chow for now.

Dissapointed

I dont even want to Blog for this week... it was a failure
I gained all the weight back plus more I think.
All that counting and being concious of what I eat for nothing
because in the end I didnt even achieve anything. I might as well
have eaten whatever I wanted and enjoyed it.

I noticed that I had a harder time with points because I wasnt
always eating at home so I wasnt exactly sure what points I
was consuming ... so goal - cook more at home like I did the week
before!

Oh well... Next week can only get better.. starting all over again.

Week 1

I had fun this week! I played with food. I frolicked through my new cook book "Healthy In A Hurry", and catered to friends and family while making healthy meals that made my point tracking easy! I worked out a couple times in the last week, but could have worked out more. That will improve now that I plan on participating in morning classes at the YMCA. Today I burnt myself out though, no more morning work outs because I want to belly dance in the evening. Today consisted of a morning group class that killed my thighs, an after school game of squash with my sister (not much rallying yet we are new), then my WW meeting, then I was supposed to go to the dance class but I am exhausted!

This week I came up with a little phrase for myself or goal, call it what you will. "No food will go into my mouth unless it is the best, it better be worth it!"

And I know you are all dying to find out *drum roll*
I am down 4 lbs in my first week. Success.

I even had treats, this isnt a diet, its a way of life and monitoring what I put into my mouth. If I have the points and feel the need for McD's I will because if I deprive myself I will crash. Tonight I had some, and recorded it faithfully. I did feel guilty but I know that its recorded in my points and thats what matters.

I look forward to the next week of playing with food and challenging myself.

A new year...

So, that blog attempt to encourage me to lose weight failed epically!

However... I am up and at them again. Unfortunately T-30 has turned into like T-40 ugh..
isnt that funny how instead of losing I gained. But hey there is nothing I can do about that
except jump on the band wagon and make a change starting with now. So I actually started
yesterday, by joining Weight Watchers. Well no I started months ago by joining the gym and
going atleast 3 times a week, faithfully! Buuuut it turns out if you dont watch what you eat
it doesnt really matter that you work out. I know this... and I've always known it but I was
trying to be ignorant to the fact and I just wanted to enjoy whatever food I wanted.
That's about to change, I mean I will still enjoy food that I like but I will moderate and monitor it!
Also, I joined this group and I am competitive so I am pretty sure that I will want to show off
as usual and overcome this challenge I have with food. They give out stickers! STICKERS! yay
for when you achieve certain levels of weightloss, I can even win a key chain, and who knows
what else.

Day 1 (today) - a success, Ive recorded all my food in my book and stuck to my daily points target!
I've also worked out today.

I think I am going to buy  myself some super cute stickers to stick on my big calendar hanging on the
wall for each day that I eat right and get 30 mins of activity in.

Who doesnt love stickers ? <3

I'll keep you posted, and thanks for reading. Any comments of encouragement are appreciated!
