2011 Journal

Thanks ladies!
Feeling pretty good body-wise...meaning the class worked my whole body so the "pain" is evenly distrabuted and I don't have just REALLY sore legs or REALLY sore shoulders. Which is good.
Haven't exercised yet.....decided to watch BL and now have to go finalize details on our new truck...I will do it though, weigh in is tomorrow.

B-2pc. multigrain bread, kiwi, yogurt, green tea
s-banana
D-sweet potato, pork, spinach salad
s-orange
S-Pork, spinach salad
s-jello
W-2L
E-Ultimate cardio body dvd (Bob Harper), did about a half hour...worked up a wicked sweat but doing all the leg work and arms after my cardio class....KILLER.

Can't believe how tired my body felt yesterday. Had to go to the dealership to sign papers for the new truck and we were there for over 2 hrs. I took the hottest shower ever and went to bed shortly after 9pm.

weigh in today, my scale shows a loss this morning but I don't weigh in down there til noon, so hopefully it's nice to me..lol

I've ate the best this week than I have any of this in the past 5 wks, so I'm glad it decided to go down or I don't know how I'd keep going!!

B-greek yogurt
s-forgot to take it
D-no doubt subway, my oldest is with me....yup, subway
s-had 3 mini Easter cream eggs
S-homemade chili, not a big fan but it was edible *had to edit to add I ate about 4 of my Mother's homemade (white) buns. They were sooooo good and the reason I'm up a little today
s-low sodium chips
W-2L
E-does painting my daughter's room count? Acutally I usually take weigh in day as an off day to recoop from Tues. cardio class.

So, (my scale) I'm down to 209.6lbs finally got rid of that 212 that I've been hovering at for 3 wks!
Let's hope I can keep it up, I do have a mini cheat planned for tonight..low sodium chips which probably isn't the best but better than the (loaded) sea salt and malt vinegar I have snacked on in the past.
Not falling off the wagon, exercise is still a go!!
Feeling good this morning......going shopping!!
 
Officially down to 209.0 according to her scale, which is usually a lb higher but I'll take it!
Bought a new hat today, feeling good.
 
Awesome job on 209! Breaking plateau's are so frustrating and I am happy to read that you are more motivated :) Keep it up!
 
Up a tad today but if you see the edit on yesterdays menu, you'll know why...ate some of my Mom's homemade buns, they are soooooooo good.

Got a new meal plan from my nutritionist...need ingredients for some, not sure when I will get them, local stores don't have this kind stuff and it's more expensive, might not be til shopping day on Tues.

Behind schedule, just don't feel awake in the mornings lately, maybe TOM bringing me down.......

B-Mediterranean morning mix (smoothie)
s-1oz of low fat cheese, green tea....mmmmmmmm, cheese!
D-Chicken quesadilla, veggies *this was sooooooo good
s-kashi bar
S-soup made by my niece doing SFL too, didn't like it. lean hamburger on one of mom's buns.....I KNOW!!!
s-berries
W-2L
E-BL Wii-35min./treadmill-30min.

LOL awesome job Amanda! Danny will know not to underestimate your awesomeness next time :)

Homemade buns! Those sound absolutely amazing! Food still looks good though even with a homemade bun and wonderful job on the exercise :)
 
Mom's buns are THE best...really! Hard to resist but I'll be strong today!!
Determined to have a GREAT day...did I mention there's a birthday party this morning at 10am? I'll do my best...

B-ezekiel eng. muffin* w. applesauce, milk, cantaloupe, green tea
s-greek yogurt
D-Quesadilla w. chicken and veggies, handful of grapes
s-cucumber
S-baked chicken breasts, veggies
s-berries
W-2L
E-attempted to go for a walk while back in the woods with the family but it was FREEZING..so came home and went on the treadmill for 30min. glad I did.

*Never had Ezekiel bread/Eng. muffins before. Really liked the muffins.

Not sure about exercise yet, got up late (gotta love weekends), spent some quality time with my honey and now have to get ready for the party...hoping to feel like doing something after dinner.......

GREAT JOB on the loss Amanda - you take that 209 and RUN WITH IT!!! heheh sure you might fluctuate up a bit with temporarily bun-retention (like water-retention....I'm sure) but dipping down 2 steps and then back up 1 step will still get you there in the end!

I was going to say I hope you have a great time at the party, dance your ass off and dress up and look really hot, then I read that it was at 10am so I'm guessing it is a childrens' one and all of the above comments are COMPLETELY inappropriate!!! hahaha.
 
Hey Amanda - you are totally back on the wagon!!! Proud of you girl!!!
You gonna get there!!!! :hurray:
Your food looks good too. I m sure you find the stregth to excercize!!! i have faith in you :)

Have fun at the party!! :party:

Yup, it was a kids party, my great nephew. He turned 6. They had cake and it looked good but I didn't have any...no cheats!

No more buns for me..I'm over them.

Thanks. I'm really liking my new menu and haven't even had everything on it yet. I haven't exercised yet today...maybe after supper....

B-omelette, banana

Oh, Danny saw his 179.0...bugger! I'm happy for him, now he's got like, what 5lbs to go...
Saw my 209 again, hoping to survive the choc. party, mind my business and make my hour work out count!
 
hey girl
your food looks good & your excercize too!!!
CHOCOLATE FACTORY???? WHAT AM I HEARING?? WOW - thats a temptation and a half...i m at home now with parents - this is super hard....there s chocolate and biscuits everywhere....!! so far i have been behaving myself!
Good luck to you! :grouphug:
 
Well, the birthday was cute. It wasn't at a choc. factory, just mimicking the movie. She had a choc. fountain, that I avoided, cake that I had none of but I did have a choc. bud (what some called unbaked cookies).

But that's where it all ended....I am having some seriouse "self" issues. I confessed it all to an online friend to get another opinion and what she says makes sense but it's hard to let go sometimes when you just don't want to.

I gained...my 3 and more. I skipped my weigh in. Been depressed.

I'm scared I tell you. Losing weight last time hurt me emotionally and I am having a very HARD time getting past it. I have to...

So, I'm trying again today, not at 209, to lose again.

The normal things that work for others don't work for me....."punch it out on a bag, picture someones face etc." I don't feel that way, doesn't motivate me. "I've lost 6lbs" Doesn't motivate me to "do better than her", nope. Nothing motivates me.

I'm fighting a "losing" battle and not winning.
