Hey Theresa so good to see you back!! I love how everyone is jumping back on the wagon this fall - I think summer is just too busy to stay focused but now we have no excuse!!
So this week hasn't been as good and it's a little depressing when you start so good and then fall back slowly. Well I'm not falling behind and just forgetting about the bad week and moving forward again today.
Yesterday was good because I got on the treadmill for an hour and that got me really motivated so I went looking for cook books to find some new recipes and guess what I found!! The PB my hubby hid a few months ago!!! YIKES! He's out of town again so what do I do - grab a bunch of crackers and a knife and begin to eat and eat and eat.... I'm sure I ate 1/3 of the container all in one sitting. So tonight as soon as I get home it's going in the garbage!
Today is day 10 and I'm staying strong! So far today I've had
B - small banana (100), 1/3 cup all bran buds (80), ff activia yogurt (80)
L - 2 pieces WW whole wheat bread (100), 2 egg whites (40) & a whole egg (90) w a little bit of ketchup (20)
Not sure what to make for dinner since it's just me and I hate cooking for myself! Think I will probably make a salad with a can of tuna. I need to make up some calories from this past week.
I really don't think I will be down on the scale tomorrow and it's just reality that I need to try harder and stay focused over the weekend. The scale isn't going to go down on it's own without a little hard work and effort on my part. I really want to start the 30 day shred dvd but I'm just so scared - I know the hardest part will be putting it in and pressing play. It can't be harder than kettle bell - which I should be going to tonight but I know I won't make it because I'm working late.
I've also been thinking I need to join WW again because it just works for me and I stay so focused when I know a weigh in is coming up!
Might not get on tomorrow so if I don't have a great weekend everyone!
Oh here's a pic of us at Halloween - only one I got.

Aw I love the Halloween pic! I hope you threw that PB out... I should really toss mine. I can't stop sticking my fingers in it! Anyway, you should really start the 30 day shred! First of all, IDK why it's called the 30 day shred. There are only 3 levels of workouts and the workouts do not change or have a specific time period for you to do them. It's basically up to you when you decide you're ready for the next level. The workouts make you sweat a little but I wouldn't say it's that difficult! Especially since you already have good body strength... kettlebell is TOTALLY more exhausting and challenging than the 30 day shred! It goes by so fast, it will be over before you know it so pop it in and press play already Hope the eating is back on track!

Thanks girls!
Sarah - this weekend I promise to pop the dvd in!!! I'll give you an update Monday!!
So last night was the worst night ever!!! I was just about to get on the treadmill and went to the washroom and when I flushed the toilet the bowl filled up with cooper coloured water and it looked like there was dirt in it so I called hubby (since he is working out of town) and he told me to flush it again and it came in even darker and more murky!! Grrr I think our well has run out of water!!! We live in the country and these are the things we have to deal with - my dad is in Arizona and hubby out of town - all I could do was cry. I spent the entire night on the phone trying to find out what the problem is but I need someone to come over and go down in the well and have a look. So eating was good because I was too stressed to even open the fridge or cupboards but I was really sad I didn't get a work out in.
I wasn't able to shower this morning and I totally forgot to get on the scale - my mind was full with things that could be wrong and how much it's going to end up costing us to fix
Anyway this weekend is not going to be fun for me and I just wish I could crawl into a ball and close my eyes till it's fixed.
Till next time forum friends...

Well after a couple of months of reading your journals, I finally decided to actually TRY green tea, instead of just saying I was going to try it. And I like it! I’m just drinking the regular flavor, as I’m generally not a fan of flavored teas when I’m drinking it hot, but they also stock mint at the office…. maybe I’ll go nuts and try that next time. I’m pretty much always freezing at work, so having more tea options will be a good way to keep me warm this winter!
OK, I wrote that first paragraph before reading your last entry… ugh, that sucks about the water! That is one of the reasons I want to just be a renter for life. I have such respect for homeowners for all they have to learn to deal with. I would have just cried, too. Hope someone can help you get that taken care of ASAP! Keep your head up, and remember: This too shall pass.

Oh no!! so sorry to hear about your water woes. I remember one time we didn't have water for a month.. (don't ask how we survived). When we finally got a steady supply again, I wept for joy...like a baby..I agree with laura. this too shall pass. And also i just wanted to say don't let this set you back too much...i am looking forward to reading some more ..

Ugh, I hope you got the water problems fixed! Even though you missed a workout... look on the bright side, you didn't resort to snacking! I didn't see this post until now so I hope you snapped out of that funk and turned your weekend around into a positive one (or at least tried!) I'm looking forward to being able to talk more... Week one of my countdown to Christmas had it's ups and downs but the important thing is that I have stuck to counting calories and updating my journal... all because of YOU and your motivation Thank you Lisa... let's get you back on track to a fantastic week! I'm right here with ya

I'm so glad you gave it a try! I've started adding lemon to my green tea because I read somewhere that it boosts its antioxidant properties and it makes drinking it easier for me. I also add it to my water for a little flavour.Well after a couple of months of reading your journals, I finally decided to actually TRY green tea, instead of just saying I was going to try it.

Thank you for the quote - you are right!
Thank you! Wow a whole month no water - I couldn't imagine!!! Hopefully it won't be that long! thanks again!Oh no!!
Thanks Veronique!! Good to see you around!
I really need a fantastic week - thanks for the motivation right back at ya!!! I know we can do it - you are off to a great start!! I'm back with ya!!I'm looking forward to being able to talk more...

Well my crappy water issues turned my entire weekend into a chain reaction of crappy events. My mother in law slipped and broke her arm so I went to stay with her since I didn’t have water anyway and we were both feeling down and turned to food for comfort – mainly chocolate. Since it’s going to cost a few thousand dollars to fix our water issues my hubby is going to be out of town as long as he can last – maybe till the week before Christmas. He’s allowed to come home for 3 days every 21 days so I look forward to that. I did manage to get to the gym both days – did 5km on the treadmill and a few weights each time but I didn’t feel energetic and really had to force myself to get there – I also needed to use the shower so I had no excuse not to go. I didn’t do the 30 day shred as I promised and that is really getting me down because I need to stick to promises.
I don’t want to be this person that feels sorry for herself and pushes her goals farther away so I’m changing my attitude today. I’ve talked it over with hubby and he agreed signing back up for Weight Watchers is the way to go. I’m really excited to get started so I think I will sign back up at Wednesday’s meeting. They have a promotion on for 20 weeks which would get me to cruise time – the thought of this is really motivating me. There’s something about going to the weigh-in every week that keeps me honest and accountable. I think because I’m investing money in it too there’s more pressure to stay on path. I’m not looking forward to the first weigh in though because it’s always higher than my scale at home since it’s in the middle of the day and I’m wearing clothes. I guess I have to start somewhere!
Tonight I’m meeting a girl friend after work to go for a walk and I also packed my gym bag incase we won’t work up a sweat on the walk. She is a lot shorter than me and not as fit so she walks a lot slower than I am used to. We haven’t hung out in a while so I figure a walk is better than sitting in a coffee shop. I might not burn a lot of calories but at least I will burn some! Eating is on plan today too – looking forward to counting my points again!
Oh one more thing I wanted to add was TOM will here this week and I normally skip my pills so TOM only comes around every 3 months or so well this time it's been almost 6 months so I really need to give my body a break but I'm really dreading it...

I'm sorry you had a crappy weekend, but I'm happy that you are coming back with a positive attitude and ready to move forward! That's great news to hear that you are joining WW again! I also like that instead of meeting up with an old friend for lunch or coffee you chose to take a walk instead! Have a great time and I look forward to hearing how everything went today tomorrow morning! TOM is this week for me too... so let's work extra hard towards a nice loss for next week! Have a great day
Hey Lisa,
Just read about your water issues, so sorry to hear that. My sister went to through a similar situation only she is a renter. But, they were trying to make her pay for partial of it, even though she had only been living in the home for three months at that time. They said they didn't have any problems with the previous renter so it came from her. I called BS and told her to get them in check, and don't let them get over on you. She is not as persistent and head strong, so I had to be the big sister, pretend I was her and get that all straightened out.
I hear you about the WW thing. When I was paying a trainer, it seemed like there was no doubt, the scale was going to go in the direction that I wanted it to. I haven't had one in a few years. After having the baby probably would have been a good time, but I wasn't very motivated, and still think that I should be more dedicated. Investing that money makes a huge difference because you don't want to just throw that out the window for not accomplishing anything. So, we all do what we have to do, to get the results we want. You've done great, and I truly see you as an inspiration.

I'm so excited to join tomorrow and start really tracking my progress - I know I will get the scale moving down this way! Looking forward to a big loss after TOM!That's great news to hear that you are joining WW again!TOM is this week for me too... so let's work extra hard towards a nice loss for next week! Have a great day
Ok so day 14 was good but it wasn’t great. Here’s how it looked:
The day started on a bad note because I didn’t have any groceries and really wanted a vanilla cappuccino on my way to work.
B – lg van cap (300), everything bagel with plain cream cheese (420)
Snack – 3 cups mint green tea w lemon
L – 1 can Campbell’s chicken & wild rice soup (240)
Exercise – 1 hr walk (med pace) with friend
Went and got groceries!!
D – veggie salad – spring mix, green onion, tomato, black olives w balsamic vinegar & a lil olive oil (220), 1 can tuna drained in water (120)
Snack – sugar free pudding cup (60) x 2 (60)
I was planning on doing some more intense exercise but after I got groceries and made dinner it was already 9pm and I can never sleep if I work out past that time.
The day didn’t start great but I think I saved it in the end. I’m retaining a lot of water due to the last couple days eats and TOM arriving shortly (any day I’m hoping) so I know tomorrow’s weigh-in will just mean next week’s loss should be high.
Just when I thought my water was starting to clear up I did the dishes last night and right away it was all rusty again. I didn’t go to the gym this morning and shower as planned so that was a little disappointing but I did bring my gym bag and towel to hopefully sneak away at lunch and go. I want to go to kettle bell tonight and I should have no reason not to. I’ll update if I made it there at lunch. Lots of water today folks!
Have a good one!

Good for you to end the day on a good note instead of to let it go downhill with a rough start! Goshhhh that sounds like a good breakfast though... you can imagine that my new job at a coffee/cafe shop is especially difficult making everything bagels and cinnamon raison bagels with cream cheese and mocha's and hot chocolates all day for the customers! Plus I stand next to a display of cupcakes... scones, cinnamon rolls, raspberry cream cheese filled crossaints! ALL DAY!!!! OMG (drooling) I have to stop right there! LOL but something I did last night.... I was tempted to go to the pantry and get a scoop of peanut butter... as I walked up to the door I asked myself "what is peanut butter going to do for me? is it going to make me feel better?" and I turned away! So whenever you're about to reach for something bad.. just ask yourself... where is the nutrition in this for me? Do I NEED it? Sometimes it helps to say it out loud
Wow that was a long rant! Guess I just miss talkin' to ya OK talk to you tomorrow!

That's me although I just get my dad to do the calling for me!! My older sisters wouldn't be so nice.
Thanks so much! I really have no doubt it will work for me - it's just a matter of sticking to it when the 20 months run up and not repeating the cycle over and over...
I love that breakfast and could eat it everyday however after realizing it takes a 10km run or longer to burn it off I might hestitate more often!!
I used to work at a coffee shop too and I gained so much weight!! Think that's what brought me up to 224 pounds!! We used to pretend the cheesecake had gone bad so we could eat it! And all the drinks were free so I made an ice cap with extra chocolate and caramel almost everynight!! I guess there are things worse than a desk job!
YEAH I went to the gym at lunch!! Reading Laura's journal about all the running she has been doing really made me miss it so I hopped on the treadmill and started slow for 2 mintues and then ran for 3 miles at 5.7 mph and then a small cool down - 3.2 miles in 35 minutes and 380 cals burned! I was ready to stop after 20 minutes but I kept thinking...I ran a half marathon in Sept - I should be able to keep going...so I did!! Wish I had a longer break so I could have stayed longer but then I remembered I have kettle bell tonight! So I'm really thinking day 15 is going to end on a positive note!!

Snack – 2 cups mint green tea
Exercise – 35 min treadmill, 3.2 miles – approx. 380 cal burned
L – veggie salad – spring mix (30), green onion (5), shredded carrot (35), tomato (10), black olives (50), 1 can tuna drained (120), ff tomato oregano dressing (45)
Snack before the gym – 1 sm frozen banana (110), 1 scoop protein powder (100), 1 cup skim milk (90), ice & a dash of vanilla (10)
Exercise – 1 hour kettle bell circuit class – awesome workout!!! Long stretch and sauna after.

Snack – 1 butterscotch sugar free pudding cup (60)
Total calories 1300
I go for my weigh-in at lunch and I’m really excited to start losing with WW. My pants are so tight this morning and I can’t wait for them to fit comfortably again. I loved my workouts yesterday and I realized I just need to make more time to go to the gym because I always feel so motivated after a good workout. I brought my gym bag to go after work and I’m looking forward to doing another 5km run. I wish I could go everyday at lunch but I just don’t have the time.
Tomorrow is a holiday so I am off work and might stop by to update anyway. I have a dentist appointment and plan to go to kettle bell again tomorrow night. Otherwise there isn’t much going on at the moment besides not knowing what to do about my water. I got a couple quotes but the labour charges are through the roof and I know my hubby or dad could do the labour for free so I’m just waiting it out for now. Still showering at the gym and bringing drinking water home however I am running out of clean clothes so I will have to bring them to a laundry mat tomorrow – not looking forward to that!
I’ll update after my weigh-in! Not expecting it to be any good since TOM arrived yesterday – I think that also might be why my pants are so tight today!

AWESOME day!!! And only one snack after dinner... that is great! Everything looks good and I'm glad you made it to kettlebell! I took a nap before step and when I woke up I was SO close to skipping... but I thought of you and how you made a promise to go to kettlebell so I said to myself.... GO!!!! I'm so glad I didn't skip because I wouldn't have gone to the gym to workout otherwise!
Enjoy your day off tomorrow (too bad you have to go to the dentist though! hate the dentist!) and keep up the healthy eating! We're halfway through the week, let's finish strong!! Have a good one

Isn't it funny how we all go through these cycles of motivation? It’s so great that we can always find someone to inspire us when we need it. You gave me the boost I needed before and now I'm glad I can be repaying the favor! I'm sure it's completely normal to struggle for a bit after accomplishing something as big as a half marathon. That was your “goal” for so long, and then suddenly the goal just disappeared. But look at you, back at it! Gym at lunch and then kettle bell at night? That’s awesome! I can’t say I have ever worked out twice in one day before, although I am going to have to pretty soon. Training for my relay race in May, I’ve got to learn how to push my body to run three times in twenty-four hours. Hopefully you’re at a high point when I start to do that because I’m going to need some inspiration then, that’s for sure! Sorry to hear the water issues are still going on, that stinks! With hubby away and parents so far away… are his parents nearby? I rely on my boyfriend’s dad for support when I have issues with my car or other stuff like that.
