Friday Weigh In

This morning I was 144.2, up 0.2 pounds from last week.  I have still done well exercising and eating right but after my Easter indulgence, I went up to 146 and stayed there pretty much all week.  Even yesterday I was a pound and a half higher than I am today so I must have been retaining water.  I had some cramping and bloating too this week even though I am no where near my cycle so it was just a little weird.  As for losing 6 pounds in 6 weeks, I'm still on schedule and will need to be 143 next week to be right on par.  That should be completely attainable since I don't have any treat filled holidays this weekend.  We do have dessert Sunday with my in-laws but I am not planning on partaking.

This time I haven't focused so much on not having sugar and so I haven't missed it as much.  It's tasty, but I really want this weight loss more.

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 144, down 2 pounds from last week.  After a Friday and Saturday of indulging last week, I gained 2 pounds by Sunday morning topping off at 148 and finally decided I had had enough!  I told myself last Friday that I wanted to lose 6 pounds in 6 weeks and I really wanted to stick with it so I decided to go off sugar again for another month.  I started Sunday and between then and this morning I have lost 4 pounds, yay!  I ate well and I worked out hard every day and it paid off. 

Now, I'm a little nervous about Easter Sunday because I am going to have sugar that day so that I don't feel deprived, but I am only going to put a small amount of candy in my Easter basket instead a lot like normal.  I am also going to have a piece of cheesecake for dessert that night.  After Sunday, back to no sugar again.  So 1 week down, 2 pounds down :)  My goal to lose the weight is May 23rd.  If I keep up the awesome work I did this week, I could be down sooner than that.

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 146, up a pound from last week.  This last week was a recipe for disaster so I'm glad I'm not up more than I am.  Plus my aunt flo came to visit so I've been all out of whack. 

On Friday night we had friends over for dinner and dessert.  Saturday night we had dinner and dessert with my in-laws and Sunday night we had Thanksgiving dinner and dessert with my in-laws.  Then on Monday we went out for ice cream with my kids for good grades.  Then Tuesday was my son's birthday and we had hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, cake and ice cream for dinner.  Then Wednesday was finally normal and then Thursday was my son's birthday party with pizza for dinner and more cake (but I refrained from ice cream).  Whew!  All in all, I deserve that pound ha ha.  Surprisingly I was only up half a pound as of yesterday but last night I was soooo thirsty that I drank a ton.  Anyway, this next week should be much better although I am going out to lunch today for my mother's in law's birthday and tonight is date night.  Other than that, it should be much more healthy and mild.  Let's sure hope so! 

6 pounds to go, 6 weeks?  I really want to.  I'm still exercising 6 days a week and loving it!  I'm still motivated even if my actions don't show it.  My actions need to now speak louder than my words :)

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 145, down 1.2 pounds from last week.  Yesterday I was down a little more so I was hoping to be at 5 or less pounds, but the scale wouldn't budge ha ha.  Oh well, I still only have 5 pounds to go, hooray!  Slow going, slow going....that's what this journey has been.  I really hope I don't undo all my hard work this conference weekend......I need to eat in moderation.   I have friends coming over for dinner tonight, and dinner at my in-laws on Saturday and Sunday nights including Sunday Turkey Feast with desserts at all dinners for 3 days in a row.  I'm feeling really motivated to just keep going though, so I'm going to try and exercise as much as I can and eat in moderation.  Wish me luck!

In good news, I'm "feeling" skinnier lately and that feels awesome!
