Friday Morning Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 137 even. I have been in the 136's all week and yesterday I ate well and had a deficit of 850 calories so gaining weight overnight doesn't make sense but I was also feeling some cramping last night so maybe it's just being a woman. I'm okay with this. At least I didn't eat crap all day so I know I don't deserve it, lol!

Anyway, that's it for now. Happy Conference Weekend :)

Feeling like a Million Bucks!

So, the past few days I have been shopping for some new capris and shorts since most of mine are too big now, yay! I am happy to report that every single pair I bought (I bought 3) were a size 6 or 8! I love being a size 8, it is what I was when I got married and it makes me feel good. When I put on some 6's and they fit too, I felt super happy :) Also, my favorite jeans are starting to feel a little baggy so I went to Buckle last night to try on some new ones and many of the size 29 jeans in mid rise were too big :) They didn't have any 28's in the styles I wanted so I didn't buy anything. However, when I checked online for my favorite jeans (BKE Drew's), they are being discontinued and they are on sale so I ordered 7 pairs online and spent over $400, lol! However, I only bought that many so that I can just try them on, keep 1 or 2 pairs and then return the rest to the store.

Anyway, just a happy little post in the middle of the week.

P.S. I think I am going to post a few more pictures on this blog. Here is a picture of me shopping with my sisters a few weeks ago and I think my face looks incredibly thin :)

Friday Morning Weigh-In

So, on Friday I think my weigh in was 138.2. Last week I really struggled to get my weight back down to my maintenance mode weight of 137.6 since I just kept going up and up and topped off at 139.8 I think. I didn't quite make it there by Friday but by Saturday morning I was back down to 137.2 and by Monday my weight was 136.2, so I'm doing better. I stopped eating as many treats and started exercising and moving more. I always move a lot during the day with 3 kids and last week I had 2 extra kids so I was quite busy.

Although my maintenance weight goal is 137.6, I always like to be under that in the 136's. It makes me happy to stay just under my maintenance goal so that is what I will strive to be by Friday, stay in the 136's. After Easter, back to shooting for my goal of 130 :)

Friday Morning Weigh In

Well, on Friday I didn't get a super accurate weigh in. I made in the crockpot apple cinnamon oatmeal overnight and Justin and I ate it first thing Friday morning and when I weighed in a few hours later, I was at 137.2 which was probably pretty accurate. I have been eating crap and I am starting to feel and look like crap. Okay, I don't really look like crap but I will if I continue this trend. Oh, and aunt flo is here to visit too which I'm sure isn't helping any.

Over the next few days I have just gone up and up, uggh. So, I am not going to try and really lose extra weight but get back down to at least 137ish in the next week or so.

Anyway, it was a nice break but I don't like feeling like crap and feeling like I'm not doing very well at healthy living. I really need to learn how to eat well even when I'm maintaining. One day soon I hope to figure it out.

Friday Morning Weigh-In

This morning I was at 135.4 which is down 2.2 pounds, so much for maintenance mode but I'd rather go down than up! I didn't try really hard this week. I had treats every day I believe and I exercised some but not every day although I am always on the go. I even ate like 12 cookies yesterday and still maintained my lower weight, hee hee.

Oh well, I will take it! I am not going to actively try and lose weight until after Easter though. I am feeling a little treated out though and I don't think I will overdo it quite as much as yesterday.

Not too shabby

So, I have some good news to report! This morning I stepped on the scale and I was at 136, down 1.6 pounds and I've been relaxed and not exercised as hard this past week :) Plus I stepped on the scale after I had eaten breakfast so it would've been lower even.

Also, I went shopping to Park City with my sisters all day Saturday and I was amazed at how well the clothes in size Medium fit and how good everything looked on my body. I was quite happy with my shopping trip and to find out that my sister and I weighed the same was quite the ego boost :)

Anyway, that is all. I am probably not going to try hard to lose until after Easter when the birthdays and holidays are over for a while. I will do a real weigh in tomorrow but I am eating cookies and pasta today which is super yummy.

Hmmmmm

Well, today I am embarrassed by my weigh in. I weighed in at 137.6, up 1.6 pounds from last week. In the past 7 days, I have only eaten well 2 days. I also tend to have a lot of things come up on Thursdays which usually include good food like Relief Society, girl's nights, friend lunches etc that add extra calories typically.

Plus, I am kind of tired of always trying to lose weight. Will I ever get to maintenance mode and get to stay there? I said once I got to 130 I would go into maintenance mode but it seems as though I will never get there. However, I am in the 130's and that makes me happy so trying super hard to eat really well and exercise all the time is a little hard right now.

Maybe I need to give myself a few weeks off to go into maintenance mode and then I will work on going down again. I don't know. After a few months, I usually get to this point and I am stuck here once again. In the past year all I've done is try to lose weight, maybe I just need a little breather.

I will keep weighing in but for the next few weeks, I think I would just like to stay the same.
