Wow. Teresa's weigh in

Ok so the scale said 132 this morning. This is getting ridiculous. I will admit this is not the same 132 as when we started the first round of blogging. Some of this has to be muscle or else i don't think i'd be fitting into my clothes. Or maybe I'm just telling myself that to make myself feel better. Either way it sucks.

About 250 calories this morning for breakfast, oatmeal and a large coffee.
6.5 hours of sleep last night. still tired though.
Going to happy hour after working but gonna try to be good! And gym on my lunch break - wh00!

weigh in

127.6

I assumed this was going to happen, but i'm ready to get back on track.

Thursday:
Activia yogurt w/ peaches
1/2 roast beef sandwich
krispy kreme doughnut (that damn business expo!! cost me 7 WW pts!!)
multi grain cheese puffs
one svg of cheddar cheese
roasted chicken- 1 wing and some slices of white meat
roasted potatoes and carrots
green salad

by the time dinner came around, I lost track of points. I screwed up pretty badly this week. Ready for a fresh start this week. However, I am going out for sushi for lunch... i'll have to be extra good :-)

Slow Week

221 Here. I did not get enough sleep this week. I did not hit the gym and our trip to Philly did not help matters much. My diet was very good through the week. I should have drank more water too. I am definitely getting in the gym this weekend, and I am going to commit to at least 2 days during the week. I have to limit work to 12 hours a day and go to bed before 9. That's the plan. Regardless of the loss, I am still very determined, and I promised myself I will do better next week. Keep up the good work everyone. 4 more weeks.

Plateau?

125.5
I knew I'd hit a plateau soon. I also knew I didn't eat the best this week either. 4 weeks til Cancun. And just a couple more pounds that I want to lose. This will be the toughest for me. But I feel newly motivated. And I have been getting a few compliments at work which really make me feel great.
Keep up the good work everybody!

Is there carbs in that?

Things are going well here. My body still adjusting to this diet, but things are progressing. Last weekend was tough because we traveled. We went to a few restaurants, so that was tough. You never know what is actually in the food, but I tried to make good decisions. Aileen really helped me by prepping food for the drive. Next time I will be better prepared. I hope everyone else is having a good week. I will post my results in the morning.

Disappointed

So I'm pretty disappointed with myself. I can't seem to lose a pound and it's very frustrating. Nothing seems to be working. I don't even know if there is a point to blog anymore. It's hard to see everyone else's success, it just makes me feel worse about myself. I know I need to start counting calories if I want to lose weight but it's hard to keep track I get so busy during the day. It's also very hard to have fun and diet! My friends are always going out drinking and having a good time. It's hard to say no to that. I'm at a loss at what to do. Maybe I should do some type of detox to clear all the junk out of my system. Anyone got any other ideas?

Wednesday

Hey all,

Finally got back on track with the diet yesterday. 15 WW pts... from looking at all my notes, dinner really is my weakness. when I'm not watching what i'm eating, i'll easily eat 2-3 times more than i should... :-/

And I slept for about 6 hrs last night, it was really great! I did wake up around 545am, but didn't get to exercise because I had a 7am meeting.

Looking forward to another good day.

Swedish Fish

today was good except for the swedish fish. I don't know why I love them, they don't taste like much, but I love the chewy-pull-out-my-fillings texture of them. At least they are fat free.

calories: 1480
exercise: 8.5 miles in a personal best 1:16 (no swim tonight, social plans instead, which fell through and I'm happy becaue it would have involved wine)
b - coffee, slimfast shake
l - healthy select italian meatball soup
s - chex mix, plain tea
s - apple, coffee
SWEDISH FISH
d- 1 cup brown rice, chicken, spinach & mushrooms, tea
s- berries & light n fit yogurt, chamomile tea

observation: day 5 of no alcohol. I feel a difference in my attitude towards food. I can't define it yet, but there is something different in my approach.

Consistency

So I feel like I've been inconsistent with my food habits in the past couple days. Snacking more often and feeling less focused in general on my eating. I feel this week may not be that good. I'm still working out, I just think I'm eating more than I should and I'm eating more processed foods than I was earlier in our challenge. I think part of that is because I'm almost to my goal, I feel like I can slack a little.
Any tips for remotivation?

Last night I ran 3 miles (intervals - kicked it up to 7.5 for 1 min twice). This am, the trainer for class had us spin for 20-25 minutes and incorporated some chest presses, shoulder presses, bicep curls while we were on the bikes. Tough workout. And then we did some additional shoulders and back weight training. Breakfast was 1 cup of kashi cinnamon harvest cereal and a smooshed fruit flat. Lunch was tuna sashimi (so good) and cream of broccoli soup. I snacked on a raw red pepper as well.
Have a great day everyone!

Tuesday

I'm still not sleeping well. I gave blood yesterday, luckily I didn't pass out. In exception of dinner, I had 16 WW pts (i snacked a lot to make sure everything went smoothly last night with the donation... before and afterwards) then i totally screwed up with dinner. 4 buffalo wings, potato chips, salad (not bad), and a big ol' hunk of garlic bread :-(

I promise myself to be in bed by 9pm so I can fall asleep by 930pm and NOT turn on the TV! I will wake up at 545am as I used to ... to get in some kind of exercise. Mark went food shopping last night, so I'm armed and ready to make my healthy meals.

I am not expecting any weight loss this week- I'm actually expecting that I'll show a weight gain.
