Oh dear.

Well, easily said, though its not like I binged... much. (hey, thats what flex points are for, right?) I still lost 1 pound this week. Man. Once your in the double digits it's like PSHHHHH 1 POUND IS NOTHING. -___- I have to remind myself that this is not a fast thing. Well, actually if you consider the decimals, it's 1.5 lbs haha, but I just factor in the "big number". Any loss is good loss... This is the "hump" area isn't it? getting to 20? guh. Well I'm going to try eating LESS at night (I usually factor my points in so that I can keep my late night snacking.) I mean, eventually I'd like to stop eating by 8. but maybe for now I'll try to just stop by 10. try. LOL. This just means I have to tell myself to eat more during the day.
This week the weather was pretty great, so I walked on the trail. I enjoyed that, and that way i was able to walk with my best friend, and she got to be embarrassed by my "exciting" hair. hahahahahahaha.
Well, if I lose another 1.5 lbs it'll be like 2 lbs next week! wahoo! Lets keep up the good work shall we?

--edit!!! I weighed myself again after.. well. Anyway. practically lost a whole nother pound! Soooo I'm saying I lost 2 lbs! >DD MAHAHAHA!~

Woohoo!

Oh blog, beautiful blog... Today there is much celebration!

the 10 lb mark has been hit!!! :DDDD

It felt so good to fill in that 10 space on my "meter" I also thought I'd date it so I can track how long it takes me to get from point A-B-C... until of course the 80 lbs are gone~ I'm so excited, in about 13 lbs is when I start feeling good about myself, it is also.. "the barrier" as I call it. I have fought with beating that number multiple times. I'm sure I'll be able to beat it and keep going.

Whats hilarious about hitting 10 lbs this week is that I was not exactly eating the best this week. I wasn't going over my points or anything, but what I was eating wasn't always best. Cheesecake, I had a cosmo, icecream, chocolate... But here we are! (not like I want to keep eating like that, that is just what life brought on this week XD)

So my hope is that i'm losing like, 5 lbs a month, and the 20 mark will be hit before June! :) (and 30 before august-- when I go on vacation) but either way, I'm super encouraged by this and excited to keep going! :D the weather is beautiful and there's an excellent walking trail near my house.... unfortunately it's supposed to rain so I might not get there today. Bringing back pilates this week! I'm feeling healthy enough :)

Lordie lordie

Well! I'm still kinda sick. Mentally and physically I'm fine and peppy, but I'm still coughing a lot, which is really annoying!!!! But anyway, yesterday and today I walked on the tread, I walked about 17 minutes yesterday and 22 (in two segments 16 & 6) today. After my first segment I coughed for like 10 minutes. Blaaaah I hate coughing, but it's getting better.

I weighed myself this morning, and I maintained my weight, which is FINE with me. I sat on the couch literally all week, I think maintaining is LUCKY! haha But we're going to shoot for hitting the 10 lb marker next week. :)

That being said, I will own up. I had a smallish binge tonight :( I had a craving for DQ, but being sick... I really didn't want to get dressed and drive. I called my dad to ask him to pick me up a pink of ben and jerry's, but his phone was off. My parents reminded me that they had brought home a plate of treats from their fellowship group and so I took a little cupcake a raspberry crumble bar... which were very good, and if I had stopped there it would have been fine. But then I had a couple other snacky items, and a few squares of my lindt chocolate bar... so I'm now feeling guilty.. As I should.

I think maybe this week, I will try and do Sweating to the Oldies for my next 4 days of workout. Thats an hour of "high intensity" workout, but doesn't make me want to DIE like Biggest Loser does. Well, I'll try doing it tomorrow and see if my lungs don't kill me. haha!

Ugh.

I'm sick :( it's a sad day! (Why are you still awake at 1:30am, Jane? Pray tell!) No reason, I'm afraid. Waiting for my nighttime meds to kick in.

I lost 1 pound this week, and lets just say I'm pretty lucky with that! This week i was trying a "I'll do pilates for 1 hour every day!" because the track on my treadmill needed to be adjusted and tightened. This did not happen until friday, and then I found I was sorely out of shape from my treading and only walked 20 minutes saturday, and on Sunday I did Sweating to the Oldies 3 (Yeah, Richard Simmons!-- LOL!) and I weighed myself this morning to see our lowest number yet (*cough* this time around) so I'm pretty happy.

Unfortunately, now I am sick and I don't want to push myself too much. I didn't workout today and I'm hoping to gather enough energy to do SttO tomorrow... My goal is to lost 2 lbs this week so I can hit 10 POUNDS! :D

Yesterday (Sunday) I went out to friendly's with my best and I got a wrap, thinking that was the way to go, right? NO! I got a Caesar wrap.... stupid!! I looked it up when I got home to see what I could have for dinner.... the wrap calculated to 29 points!!! I was SHOCKED. I was very very upset with myself. But what to do. Thats what flex points are for, right?
