**HLG** A day late...
Sorry!! I was busy yesterday totally forgot about the Monday post..
How'd we do last week? I feel the wind leaving our sails a bit (well mine at least)...any thoughts on how we can pick it back up???

Re: **HLG** A day late...
I was down 6lbs on Saturday!
Buuuuttt.....then I helped a friend at her new house, which led to pizza on Saturday night after not eating all day. Which then led to burgers for lunch the next day from our favorite joint here...which then led to something else bad for dinner. So 2 popped back on and now I'm down 4 from last week.
Total I am down 19 lbs...and I need some motivation to get back into it and drop another 20 - maybe by labor day or the end of September?? This 20 is going to be harder though. And the next 20 (haha) will be damn near impossible. But that will bring me to wedding weight - and one needs to have goals, right??
my boat has crashed! I can't seem to get back into it. I'm such an "all or nothing" type of person. Like- if I didn't make it to the gym I might as well eat pizza for dinner. Or- I ate crappy all day, so I'll have a huge bowl of ice cream at night.
I've only gained a pound from being bad all weekend, and not going to the gym for over a week. But I feel like I'm so bloated, and thought for sure I'd gained much more! It's probably all the salt I ate over the weekend. Hot dogs, chips, margaritas w/ extra salt!
My goal is to turn things around starting today! I want to get to the gym, but I hurt my back on Sunday, and it's difficult to stand up straight, so I'm thinking I should take it easy and just stretch. But that doesn't mean I can't eat healthy. I need to start tracking calories again.... sometimes it makes me a little OCD, but I guess it's better than shoving 100's of calories in my face w/out holding myself accountable!
I want to buy some new jeans in the fall, so my goal is to be down at least another pant size by our anniversary (sept 10)
i had every intention of hitting the wii fit this morning when the alarm went off, but all i did was i hit the snooze button instead.
i did download the spark people app and a few others for my phone to keep track of calories so hopefully i'll get a few min to play with them in the next few days and use them
it's been too damn hot to bike ride
I'm so glad I'm not the only one losing momentum. I just looked back on my weigh in spreadsheet- which looks like a roller coaster for July- and I've lost ONE lb this month. w....t...f... I've been trying to be active; swimming at MILs or boxing on the Wii fit. I think my body just needs a big push but I can't find the time to actually work out. Of course, I've been obsessively weighing myself and last night it was really high, I just wanted to cry and drive to McDonalds. My body always stalls at this exact number. For years. It's that weight where, yeah ok your pants fit, but they're hard to button. We're getting excited for our next Disney trip and I was looking at pics from our 2009 trip when I was at my goal weight <sigh> I am SO on the verge of just quitting. Get me a moo moo and a hover-round. 27 seems like a good age to let myself go
Now I'm 8lbs from my goal weight for 8/31 and it's going to be tough to do that by 8/31... blech. Someone post something inspiring! haha
I lost 2.8lbs this week - yay! So, I lost what I gained the last 2 weeks plus another lb+. I'm down 18 lbs since starting WW, and very close to my 10% weight loss goal. It has really motivated me to get moving this week. I'm not working at all, so I'm doing everything I can to be active. I took Ian to the playground today and ran around with him, but that really didn't work up much of a sweat. Ian will be going to daycare tomorrow and Thursday, so I plan to drop him off in the morning and head straight to the gym both days. Then, I'll fit in one more trip on Saturday before having my weigh-in on Sunday.
Only downer is that I somehow strained my arm the other day, and can't straighten it. I've tried everything - lots of Advil, heat pad, DH massaging it - and nothing has worked. Guess I just have to focus on cardio and my lower body until it's better.
In my WW meeting this week, we did talk about how to get back on track. What I came away with is to just choose one positive step to focus on - drinking daily amount of water, tracking my points, eating X number of the essentials, whatever. It doesn't make getting back on as overwhelming, because I find that once I start doing one thing, other things start falling into place.
Hang in everybody! It's OK to take a stumble along the way. It's in the past, and every meal is a fresh start.
