Mondays!
So i was determined not to snack all day and what did i do? snack of course! i don't know what it is about being hungry on Mondays. at least I hit the gym already and did chest (75 lbs on the flat bench press today!) and am hitting the gym in like half an hour for some quick cardio and then a softball game at 6 if it's not raining too hard. plus the scale said 131 today which is better than Friday's weigh in! hope everyone had a great weekend!
excited for round 3!!
Hi everyone!
I ate like crap this weekend but I was SO happy to see my family and platy family!!
As much as i am loving my new diet, I really need to come up with some kind of maintenance plan. I am looking forward to hopefully losing another 10 lbs... but then what? I'm not quite sure how to maintain without totally depriving myself. As you guys know- I am a total foodie and love experimenting at new restaurants (especially when traveling), trying new recipes, and just eating good old comfort food that remind me of different times in my life. I know that portion control and exercise will do it, but historically, my weight has been such a total yo-yo... and I am SO scared to gain back those 25 lbs I've lost in the last year and a half. I just know i am very susceptible to weight gain... because i get comfortable and start eating like I used to.
Anyways, in the meantime, raw food and green lemonade it is!! :-) At least I got a little binging in this weekend before we start again!!!

Bad Poster
Well, I have not been good at posting, but on the last weigh in I am 161 pounds. I am really slow in taking this weight off-Though when I started, which was before the PHAt club, I have lost a total of 12 pds. My slowness in taking this weight off may have something to do with the fact that I love to go to restaurants and have a couple of drinks and eat!!
I think I may have subconsiously not posted as much as I should have because I was a bad eater and exerciser more then 50% of the time. Oh- and I used to be the BEST exerciser- completely committed, but turned 40, and used that as an excuse to take it easy.. No good- I am at my happiest when I am out there in the sunshine being active!!!
My goal is at least 15 to 20 pds and I am still working on it. Monday I start a new plan. Kostas is back from Scotland and we have a wine and jazz festival tomorrow and do not want to ruin it by having to watch what I eat and drink!! I will have to say, though I still embrace life through food and drink, I have been eating smaller portions and making BETTER choices, though not the right choices yet. These things take time!
Finding that motivation is my pitfall!! I feel fabulous and great even though I am overweight, humm, even though I don't look as great in clothes, and I LOVE clothes, obviously it is mental work to still feel fabulous! I really do want to be where I was at when I was in my 30's!!! It is possible. But with that said, I always say, always embrace your beautiful body, fat or thin!!! Confidence is what is sexy!!!
Congratulations to the winner!! You got my $20 :-)

Teresa (doesn't want to) Weigh In
Ok I was tempted to lie on this one, but I won't since I'm pretty certain some of this weight is from being a bit bloated. 133 - ugh the numbers are going up instead of down. I played softball last night and had a few too manys beers after the game plus some late night chinese food since I never had dinner. At least it was tofu and veggies but I know that orange sauce I got on the side can't be too good for me.
Anyway, did chest at the gym today. Not sure if I'm gonna end up doing cardio, I'm pretty tired and kinda blah today. I know I should be happy that I've gained strength but all I want is for the number on the scale to go down and it doesn't seem like that will ever happen again!

Sarah's final weigh-in
122. I made my goal weight! (not sure if the nasty cold helped, but I'll take it)
Thank you everyone! This has been a huge help to me in focusing. It's been great to be able to talk about my struggles and when I do well.
Good luck to everyone!
