Miracle Weigh In.

this week weigh in was a miracle. I worked out on Monday, twice on Tuesday & then didn't do anything Wednesday or Thursday because life was crazy . . . then I ran this morning. I started losing motivation the last few days. I weighed in Friday of last week at 182.2 Monday morning at 183.6, well today I weighed in at 179.2!!!! Yeah . . . . that is down from last Friday weigh in 3 lbs!!! I don't know how. I have tried drinking more water, we have been walking to parks more & trying to be more active out side. I haven't had a piece of chocolate or candy since Sunday except for some frosting on Wednesday. I was about to swear the whole thing off, frustrated mostly just wanting sugar. One thing is we have had real food for lunches this week instead of just a sandwich or something else. One day it was tacos or yesterday I made spaghetti fast. It has been a crazy week . . . so maybe that is the secret. I got three bum lambs on Wednesday. So i have been feeding lambs every 4 hours or so by bottle. I think we are moving again. . . and yesterday I wast stuck in a four hour meeting during my normal time I lose control. I did sign up for spark people to help track. And I am trying to drink a lot more water. We are looking at moving again next week, we think we have somewhere we can live out with some acreage. So that means another week or two of craziness. My goal is to be under 177.8 by next week. I would like to be to at 160 by my birthday in June. So there is my happy news. Bad new I am headed to dinner at a friends house & I offered to bring dessert because at the time I was frustrated & wanting to give up so I was going to bring something big, rich & chocolaty. Now i am not so sure. . . . I CAN DO THIS !!!!

Today so far. . . .

Well yesterday I ended up doing a second workout. I just alternated between jogging for 2 minutes & walking for 2 mintues, for a total of 30 minutes. I was kind of worried that it would make my legs hurt more, but in fact it kind of loosened them & felt pretty good if you want to know the truth. It is hard to get on, but i never regret it. I did pretty good about eating but at 10 o'clock I was starving. We ate dinner at 4:30 yesterday & I didnt' have anything to eat, until 10 when I gave in & had a sliced of wheat bread with butter. I know not my smartest. I was in range for my calorie intake yesterday, but i don't know what that slice of bread did or not. I might have gone over.

Today so far . . . I got day #4 of the shred video in. I can tell I am starting to build muscles . . . I am still on level 1, but it is hard for me. I am working in it though. I just keep telling myself: the next time I visit I will have lost at least 15 lbs. hopefully closer to 20-25. But that means I have to work hard & be disciplined. SO . . .I will let you know how the rest of the day go, for now i am off to hit the shower & then eat breakfast.

Oh yeah . . . I haven't had sugar in 36 hours & my headaches are killing me. How do you stop that ?

So from Friday on I wasn't feeling very good, so my workouts went by the wayside. Today I am feeling much better (despite my overeating yesterday) so we went back at it again. I did Day #3 of the 30 day shred video. It went well. I also signed up for Spark people. I have heard of it & I think it is a little confusing to use, but i wanted to try something to help me come up with new menu ideas. It also tracks your calories & I was curious about how many I am eating, but didn't want to track points. I am trying something new. I am one of those people who have an tendency to saddle the horse about a million times but never get on. Either way . . . . I was looking for some fresh ideas with a price range I could afford. Spark people was it. With it being free it was hard to want to pay for something else. So we will see how it works for me. (The real answer being most tools work powerfully if you do). So my goal is to track my calorie consumption. If I lose 2 lbs a week I can be to about 160 by my birthday at the end of June. I haven't been at 160 for at least 5 years. So it is definately something to work for. Though this week my goals is just to lose 2 lbs.
Well house is a mess after the wonderful Easter weekend so now that i have give my boy my attention I better go give it to everything else as well.

Wahoo . . . I am on day two. I know not a big deal but 2 days down mean I only have 28 more to go. I am already sore in most of my body, but for a slight change it did feel slightly good. I did not track very well yesterday. I am going today at least write down everything I eat. Not necessarily track how many points or calories they are, just what goes into my mouth. I am not feeling very good today so now that my workout is over I will probably take it pretty easy. How did you workout go today?
