Hahahahaha, gotta love those 2lb poos! I'm really weird about going anywhere but my own bathroom and whilst I was in ID with Conor I didn't go for 1.5 weeks! Thank god I didn't weigh myself whilst I was away!!!
Hahaah I'm like this too! My mom doesn't understand it because we could be on vacation and I won't go the whole time and she gets so worried about me. I've always been that way and I'm sure I always will.
you're right your probably holding onto water or other bodily waste lol, or maybe you had a stressful week or too much salt, it could be a few things so just keep doing what you're doing and keep kicking butt! I think it's a great idea to write down all food, I've been thinking of getting a food journal myself to keep myself accountable. Don't be too down and have an amazing healthy weekend!!
Thanks Janvier! I think it was water because I saw 149.6 Saturday morning!! I also had a pretty stressful week so that could have been it too!!
Hey Lisa don't worry I am sure that if you did gain it's muscle! I find that some mornings I feel eavier then other and usually plays with my weight in!
Trackiing 7 days a week is very helpful to me! Next week will be your week!
Thanks Veronique!! I think the tracking helped a lot.
Hey Lisa, I think it HAS to be muscle or water, there's no way you could be a pound up!
Keep your chin up, you're doing all the right things. Hope you get to enjoy the weekend xx
Thanks Jess! I'm going with water and I'm just going to try harder this week!
I would add a protein source to your breakfast meals. I've noticed several times you aren't getting protein at breakfast. Make sure you are drinking a LOT of water at each meal. You want your body to flush it out (sorry, lots of peeing).
Otherwise you are doing great. I hope the weight starts to drop for you. It sure seems like it should be.

Thanks Derrick! I know I need more protein in the morning so I'm going to start back to egg whites this week and see if that helps things. I already drink a ton of water - like 4 litres plus mint tea so I don't think that's it. I have a feeling I will be in better spirits this weigh-in!!
Hang in there, Lisa! You're doing all the right things. Eventually the scale will show that but right now it just wants to be stubborn! I am irritated with the scale too... it definitely doesn't reflect the way I feel!!
Anyway, here we go another week! Let's start it off right
Thanks Sarah! I'm feeling good about seeing some results this week and I'm ready to work hard again!! I'm glad to hear you aren't sad I'm not doing the push-ups but I did make an effort this weekend to bust some out!!
Ok so it's Monday! Time to start another week off right and finally see some results come Friday!! My weekend was good - not amazing - but not horrible either! I actually tracked everything - good and bad - but I forgot to bring my journal to work today so I'll have to sum it up. I didn't come into work today till noon because I wasn't feeling well this morning but I have meeting this afternoon I couldn't miss. Here's how the weekend looked:
Friday - ate healthy all day, woke up before work and did 30 min treadmill, did 1 hr gentle yoga class after work. Hubby made a delicious dinner - chicken breast, brussel sprouts & baby potatos and that was all I ate all evening! I had a big helping at dinner so it kept me full till I was ready for bed!
Saturday - slept in till 12:30pm!! Even though I was in bed before 11pm the night before! I must have really needed that sleep. Started cleaning the house right away. Hubby made a big breakfast for us at 2pm - turkey bacon, scrambled eggs and toast. I continued cleaning for 3 hours - sweeping, moping, vaccuming, dishes, laundry, lots of stairs climbing (we have three floors and I was up and down all day). Hubby made spaghetti for dinner around 7pm and I had a fair sized bowl - lots of veggie in the sauce. After dinner I had to start getting ready to go out and instead of getting right in the shower I decided to do 15 min on the treadmill and some mat work - leg lifts & sit ups, stretch.
We went over to a friends house to play poker and I snacked on some white corn tostitos and diet pepsi. We got home around 1am and hubby put in a thin crust frozen pizza we had and I munched on 3 pieces of that instead of just going to bed like I should have. Still I decided not to drink so it could have been worse!
Sunday - again woke up late and was being lazy around the house all morning. Finished some laundry and snuggled with hubby a bit. Wasn't hungry till around 2pm so I had some salad with tuna at that time. I was waiting for my friend to call to go to the gym and around 4pm I gave up on her and got on the treadmill. I ran 6.2 miles in 68 min including my warm-up and cool down. Did some more mat work - leg lifts, push-ups, sit-ups, stretch and burned 815 cal in 80 min. Felt good and wanted something sweat.
That's where the night went down hill. I decided to make banana pancakes and syrup and it was so good and sooo sweat!! The syrup consisted of melted butter, brown sugar, creamy mint liquor and vanilla extract. We finished off the meal with some chocolate milk. Later in the evening I made microwave popcorn and to finish the night off I had a candy cane - the lasts of them from xmas! Oh wait and hubby had bought a Reece bar earlier so I had 2 Reece cups too! Talk about the munchies! But honestly overall it could have been worse, lol!!
Friday morning I was 150.6, last Monday morning I was around 156, this Saturday morning I saw 149.6 and today I was 151.8. So I have hopes to see 149 by Friday again!! Normally after the weekend I'm up 6 pounds from all the salt, alcohol and fat but this weekend I kept it under 152 so that is very promising! I also turned down Chinese food again this weekend and chips! I know I would have been back to 156 if I indulged in some bon bons and won tons! So I'm excited for the week ahead!! Only 41 more sleeps!!
up one pound - I just don't get it.
hahaha nice munchies menu you got there
