Re: **Healthy Living Girls!!**
DH and I "weigh in" on Thursdays and I had an awesome week- lost almost 3lbs to total 11lbs in 6 weeks, I was feeling so good... and then ate like a friggin cow this weekend. IL's took us to Buffalo Wild Wings Friday, DH surprised me with Illio DiPalos to go on Saturday night and we went to a benefit last night and were seated riiiight next to the dessert table. Justin kept asking for sweets- someone would get him one- he'd take 1 bite and hand it to me and say "mama eat". I do not have the willpower to put down a fudge brownie once it's in my hand
I am so super depressed today.
I am the exact same way!!! This is how I end up ditching diets and gaining the weight back.
I think about what Oprah said once - it's not the donut that makes you fat...it's the box of donuts you have a few times a week (or something like that)
So - you had a donut over the weekend - just don't eat the whole box!
I lost 4 lbs last week. It was 6 lbs - but I gained 2 back over the weekend when I behaved very poorly
Think wine and pizza and strawberry shortcake and very little water.
Ugh - but today is a new day!! I hope to just drop that two fast - maybe it hasn't totally stuck yet...haha!!!
My goal for this week is 5lbs. I want to exercise 4 days (instead of three like last week) I did great with exercise when I did it...I'd like to go up to 5 days and then start to increase my running time.
I have the same problem about falling off the wagon...
I have been doing horrible. I started last week out well, I was on my second week of C25K and felt pretty good about running. When I was running on Monday or Tuesday, one of my knees was kind of of sore but I was able to finish. The next few days it was still sore, but not horrible. Over the weekend, it has gotten really bad and hurts. IDK what the problem is
I know that I need to let it rest and not run until it stops hurting but I feel like it's just an excuse and I'm not going to get anywhere without doing some work. Food wise hasn't been good either and this week is going to be crazy so I know I'm not going to get anywhere. I have 2 weeks left of school, but when it's over, no more excuses.
I gained 0.6. It's not as bad as it could have been. I know now that I cannot eat onion rings like I used to. Not only was I sick to my stomach for the next 2 days, but I had to really watch what I ate so that I didn't show any more of a (+) on the scale yesterday.
I was much better with my water last week - something I am usually horrible about. Was able to finish 32 oz. before leaving work (and somedays more) on 3 of the 5 days.
Confession: Seems the healthier I eat, the more I want to bake! On Saturday it was brownies, more brownies tonight to bring to a friend, and I want to make at least 3 types of cupcakes for a BBQ we're going to on Saturday. Plus, I'm going to be making a cake for DH and my dad on Sunday. It's going to drive me crazy not eating them (cake is my ultimate downfall) - maybe I'll try one of each and then go for a very long walk afterwards.
Mrs. White - do not beat yourself up! What's done is done and today is a new day. And every meal is a new meal. Didn't do so hot at dinner? No biggie, just make breakfast a healthy one.
One thing I've learned this time around is to be more aware of what my trigger foods are. For me, cake is a BIG one. So, I decide one of two things when I know it's going to be in front of me - do I avoid it altogther or do I plan for it and allow myself to enjoy it? I'd rather endulge and be happy with myself than avoid and be miserable.
And by planning, I mean that I look at what's coming up for the weak and plan around it. BBQ on Saturday - so I focus on staying within my points for the rest of the week and drink lots of water so that I can eat what I want that day and not have it put too much of a dent into my weight loss.
I confess. I didn't start last week like I planned! I was up until late getting ready for a baby shower for my bff all last week and I could not bring myself to get up early. Another confession, I was going to get up early to exercise today and I turned my alarm off in the night when Mia was up with her teeth. LOL. I eat well all day...until the kids go to bed and then I undo everything. I SHOULD just stop snacking, get more sleep and get up early to work out. SHOULD. Maybe tonight I will start. Wow, that was a lot of confessions.
I lost 6 pounds! woooo hoooo!
My goal for this week is the GYM. I didn't go at all last week, so this week it is my priority... now that I'm back on the healthy eating wagon. I just spent the last hour there, so starting the week off right. 30 min of strength training/abs, and 30 min on the treadmill doing week 3 day 1 of C25K. I feel great. I'm kinda glad I started eating better last week, before attempting to exercise... I had so much energy for my workout today!
Nothing really to confess... I had 2 margaritas on Friday, and even making them "healthy" they were still 180 calories EACH! It's really shocking how many calories are in alcohol... I'd almost rather have a brownie! Counting calories is really eye opening... I ate some artichoke asiago cheese dip at my parents house (the stuff from Wegmans, which is like crack, IMO!) and the small amount I had was almost 200 calories.
i was so very sore after the corp challange last week, i wasn't bad this weekend but i wasn't good either. this week isn't looking very promising, DH is oot till wed so my great idea of getting up and going for a run before work won't be happening- maybe thurs when DH will be home with M. i want to spend my afterwork time hanging out with my boy, maybe we'll take a walk or a bike ride
i am going to bring the leftover cupcakes to work so they are not sitting at my house all week for me to eat. it will only take the vultures about 2 min to devour them! i may bring in the leftover potato salad too- no need to keep that in the house either!
