so....last night was a bummer. The dvd player (ps2) was not working for me to Turbo Jam, so not happy about that. But dinner was still good and I feel good about that. This morning I had a skinny white mocha from Crackbucks and a nutrigrain bar. Lunch is in the air...probably Wendy's chili since I didn't bring mine....
Eating is not really my problem, I just need to add more fruits and veggies. The exercise is what I'm having an issue with. It was like when I saw the dvd player not working...instead of finding an alternative, I just threw my hands up and forgot about my workout plan. But anyhooo.....hope all of you wonderful ladies are having a fabulous, healthy day....good luck!

Aww sweetie, just don't give up! Even a 10 minute walk would have sufficed to get you into the habit. Do you have anyone who can go with you? Maybe take the kids with, throw the ball around or something? That way it doesn't even feel like excersize!!
THAT STINKIN' PS2 BETTER LET US HAVE TURBO JAM, WE NEEEED IT! kidding!

Not such a big cheat- I LOVE caramel macchiatos! I always get it with skim milk and splenda. I think its about 2 points that way. No biggie! But even still, if you have the points for it, why not? Instead of dry bagel, have you ever or do you ever use spray butter? I hate dry anything (HUGE condiments fan!) so that might be a tastier option. I also want to commend you on your DP ban! Good for you!!
We WW girls need to stick together!

So, I had it for breakfast and feel mo betta. I didn't choose a DP for my cheat b/c that would have sent me in to a frenzy of DP drinking. Anyway, I had enough points left as "extras" for the week so I used them for my breakfast. Plan on following the rest of the day and going for a walk. I've eaten those triscuits my sis is talking about. Lordy, lord they are good!! |

Thanks Brittni....you're absolutely right. I'll rally the troops to walk with me. I also told the bf that he WILL be walking the dog with me from now on, lol. We're both trying to get the weight off....he even ordered his green tea frappuccino with no whip...that was a big step for him, lol

Ok I think I've done OK today.
Breakfast, I had some animal crackers that were really good, I had about 12. They are pretty small so I don't feel like I bombed out on them.
Just now for lunch, I made a turkey & provolone sandwich and brought that from home, whatever the serving size was for Doritos and I had a 100 calorie Quaker Chewy peanut butter & chocolate chip granola bar.
ONLY 1 COKE TODAY TOO!
For dinner, I'm spoiling myself and making chicken alfredo. I'm hoooonnngggry, ok?

Personally im 3 weeks into using the wii fit and im finding it amazing, except for today (went for another massive meal for a '6 months' present from my boyfriend XD) ive gone on it everyday.
Its perfect for me as im very very self conscious and have appalling image issues. I was bullied in gym and pe at school, especially in the changing rooms for the last 2 years of school I became very depressed and refused to do any exercise. I ballooned and it knocked me so bad. I didnt want to go to a gym as I dont want to be judged, so wii fit works very well.
Its not a serious 'you will loose weight now' type of game. Its very soft and almost fluffy. However its so good for tracking what you do, it tracks your weight and you can create an activity log of things you have done outside the wii fit. Its a very good stepping stone prior to going to a gym, it gets you thinking more and makes you feel guilty - in a good way.
If i go up a pound I go jogging the next day - which I have never considered before.
Basically its an alright game
but a brilliant motivator!

Awww, shucks. Thanks, Sky! I hope you know that I consider you to be one of those supportive people as well. Big Hugs!!
I agree that if I ever have one again it will probably taste gross. I had to quit the Mountain Dews 10 years ago when I quit smoking b/c I had one with every cigarette. Now, if I even look at a Mountain Dew, I get ill....
You are doing so dang good. I need to exercise. It is ridiculous that I don't.

I didn't post yesterday because I fell off the wagon. I woke up late(r than planned) on the first day of school and didn't eat all day. Then when my bf picked me up he "made dinner" aka went and got burgers and fried zucchini. I finished eating at about 9 and went to sleep at 11.
Bleh. Today's a new day. Small bowl of cereal and a banana for breakfast and salad with chicken breast for lunch.
...back to the books (maybe one more "new posts" click before I go

Lots more walking around court today - yay! Breakfast was the usual, and lunch was a chicken philly with grilled onions and green peppers (I also wanted red peppers, but they were out). Not a great lunch, and I know I wasn't supposed to eat out this week, but I was helping in a trial today, and I didn't know how long it would be. Tonight will be a replay of last night's dinner + I'll be hitting the gym.
I'm so glad to hear how well everyone one is doing - keep up the good work! And count me in for the November Challenge. That will put me just a few pounds short of my goal. I just may meet my goal by Christmas!

Wow, we are really close!! Great job on getting down to 144... that's quite an accomplishment! I'd love to get back to 115 but doubt that will ever happen... I just don't have the same body shape as I did back then (hellooo hips and boobs!). I'd be happy to get to 120-125ish.

I COMPLETELY agree! I was so unhappy with the way I looked back in high school.. now I look at pictures from back then and think "holy crap was I ever skinny... I'd kill to look like that again!". But at least I'll really appreciate how great I look when I lose this weight!
Anywho, today was... okay? I skipped out on breakfast (bad!) and then munched on some banana chips until lunch (semi-good?). Today was "hot taco salad day" at the cafeteria and I caved in and got that. But I had whole wheat taco chips at least.
Ugh. Gonna have to make a super-healthy supper for myself tonight!

I've lost 5 lbs since last Thursday!!!!!!!!!
I finally stepped on my scale today and it was 5 lbs lighter than last week. I checked 3 times to be sure!! I know that won't happen weekly and that most of it is water weight, but I'm still so happy.
Too bad it won't reflect at my WW meeting tomorrow since this just brings me right back to where I was when I started the first time.
