Friday Morning Weigh In

Well, my body and the scale are totally on my side this week!  I weighed in at 134.4, wow!  I exercised a lot this week and have done a lot of walking since it's green ribbon week at school for Timmy.  I also ate well and had fruits and/or vegetables at every meal even though I have had a few treats here and there as well.  I thought my scale was off this morning so I even changed the batteries and had my daughter weigh in and she was totally the same as always, 35 pounds.  I even waited a while and weighed in again and it was still the same.

It also helps that I play volleyball for at least an hour the night before I weigh in.  Last night I played from 7:45 until 9:15 and was playing the majority of that time, I love it!

Anyway, I made it to my goal and even more in less than a week.  Not sure how, but I am lovin' it.  It would be nice to make it to 130 so I will try a little but I also love fall comfort foods.  We'll see if I keep it off by next week.

Friday Morning Weigh In

On Friday I weighed in at 138.2, up 0.4 pounds.  I am noticing that I am steadily and slowly gaining weight.  Not much, but some.  However, I developed a bad cold over the weekend and I jumped up a few pounds and the lowest I've seen since my Friday weigh in is 140 so it's time to get my butt back in gear.  I started off by running this morning, and will do laundry all day and some deep cleaning.  I am feeling a bit better so I will work until I feel worn out :)

I would love to get back down to 135 by my birthday (6 weeks, Nov 6) but I haven't been very motivated to lose weight and I'm still not 100% motivated but I'm going to give it a try at least this week and see if I can make it somewhere.  First things first, exercise a lot this week and try and eat healthy with little to no sugar.

Friday Morning Weigh In

This morning I was at 137.8, up 0.6 from last week but still holding pretty steady.  I am still exercising a few times a week and eating well sometimes and not well sometimes but I feel content.  I am just enjoying maintaining and going a little up and down a little throughout the week plus my aunt flo is here to visit right now.  Anyway, life is good.

Also, I went to the doctor again for back pain./heartburn on Wed and he gave me a long release pain med for back pain so I can make it through the night without pain (yay!) and prilosec for heartburn.  The first day I took prilosec (Wed.) I had a headache all afternoon/evening/all night long and most of yesterday until it wore off.  Last night I took the pain med and prilosec while going to bed and slept the best I have in weeks, no pain, no headaches or heartburn and I could've slept in forever this morning.  What a great feeling!

Thursday morning weigh in on a Friday?

So, I didn't get an accurate weigh in this morning.  About 3:30 AM I woke up with severe back pain and strong heartburn.  I got up and had some of my heartburn medicine and since I had taken an anti-inflammatory drug the night before for back pain, I took a percocet that I have been given for back pain mixed with heartburn from the ER a few months ago.  I tried to get back to sleep but percocet just makes me drowsy and relaxed but I have a hard time falling asleep.  Then around 5 AM I starting experiencing really strong nausea and even hung out on the bathroom floor for a while but never threw up.  I finally had a few drops of peppermint doterra essential oils and it helped and I went back to sleep until 7:45 AM.  When I woke up I had to eat immediately because the nausea was coming back quickly.  I'm guessing it was the heartburn medicine that caused the nausea because it is finally going away, phew.

So, I am just going to take my weigh in from Thursday which was 137.2 and I was hoping to be in the 136's this week but that's okay, I'm still down 1.8 pounds from last Friday.  I exercised Mon-Thurs and I am finally able to run a solid 30 minutes again without major fatigue or issues at all, yay!

I also watched what I ate but still had some treats :)

Great Article on Cheat Days

I really enjoyed this article on having a food cheat day.  I know I usually let go almost all weekend long, but this really made a lot of sense.

Doing better this week, exercising a lot more and trying to eat with a little more moderation.  See you tomorrow.

Friday Morning Weigh In

On Friday morning I weighed in at 139, up 1.4 pounds from the previous week.  The funny thing is I started tracking some calories, eating better and exercising this past week.  I did however go on date night Thursday night to the Brick Oven and we had a buffet all you can eat pizza, salad bar, soup and dessert dinner and we definitely ate until we were stuffed so my weight was probably not super accurate. 

Today is Fast Sunday and I am going to start fresh and really get back to eating well and exercising more regularly especially since Timmy is starting 1st grade on Tuesday and Allie will be at preschool so I will have 4 hours a week with just Mikey and myself to run errands and even exercise and I plan to do some exercise walking and running in the stroller with my little bud.

I'm excited for a fresh start today and excited to slim down a few pounds and feel a little better :)
