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 :)

Friday's Weight

This morning I weighed in at 137.6, up a pound from last week.  Let me tell you, I earned every bit of that pound ha ha!  On Wed I made 2 loaves of zucchini bread and 12 banana bread muffins.  I think I ate half of the banana muffins on Wed and almost an entire loaf of zucchini bread on Thursday, whoops.  It was tasty.

Perhaps I will try harder next week and even exercise some?

Friday Morning Weigh In

I weighed in on Friday at 136.6 which is up 0.4 pounds from 2 weeks ago.  I haven't exercised all that much recently and I haven't done any super healthy eating or counting calories, still just eating what I feel like when I am hungry.  I would love to be 135 but that's only a pound away :)

I'm still not sure I want to be in weight loss mode, so maybe just the 1 pound.

No official weigh in

So last Friday I wasn't able to do an official weigh in since I was on vacation until about noon that day.  I ate breakfast in the morning and when I came home, I stepped on the scale when hopping in the shower and was at 136.8, not bad for just getting back from a week of treats and having had breakfast.  While I did eat junk food, I also just had cereal for breakfast every day and my sister-in-law and I took turns making dinner at our units so I didn't eat out except once and it was a salad.

I did also go hiking nearly every day and I did a long hike carrying Mikey on Monday morning for a few hours, a children's hike with my 2 older kids on Tuesday and a longer hike on Wed carrying Mikey the whole way up while my brother carried him down.  Plus I went up and down the stairs a gazillion times and Justin wasn't there most of the time so I had all of the child care to do which is a lot of calories burned.

See you on Friday!

Friday Morning Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 136.2.  If you know me at all by now, you know that I will not stand for unexplained weight gain and I work really hard to make it go away.  Last week I was at 138.8 and in the next few days I kept going up and topped off at 139.8, and that is the absolute highest I ever want to get now that I love being in the 130's.  Plus, tomorrow starts a week long vacation up at Snowbird and I don't want to start out super high so that I can splurge some.

So, I started exercising, a lot!  On Monday my older kids were gone to a cousin sleepover so Mikey and I went on a long stroller walk and jog for an hour and went 4 miles.  Then Tuesday I woke up early and ran and walked 4.7 miles in an hour.  Then on Wednesday I was going to exercise but a friend showed up so I only ended up walking pretty slowly with her and went 1.3 miles.  Then on Thursday morning I took my son on another walk/run and we went for 2.6 miles.  Then in the evening I went running about a mile with my daughter while she practiced riding her 2 wheeler around the block 3 times which is 0.3 miles each time around. 

I'm glad that I worked so hard and I still even ate treats this week :)  This next week is going to be super fun and super busy since my husband can't come up to Snowbird now that he has to work so I will be single mom on vacation, aahhhh.  Plus I will get home on Friday and go on an overnighter to Heber with my R.S. sisters and then to Wicked with my sisters and then to my grandma's 80th birthday party, whew!  Have a great week.
