- Start date
Thanks Lisa! I'm happy to have you on board with me! I think we've got this!
Yesterday was another great day! Stuck to my meal plan and went on the stepper after dinner for 45 minutes. I was really happy that I decided to talk to morgan about how important a healthy lifestyle is to me, he's being so supportive, last night I called him to see if he wanted to have dinner together and he said he had a great healthy dinner idea and we headed to the grocery store and bought pitas, green and red pepers, onions, mushrooms, tomatos and a baked chicken, cut everything up, stir fried it all together, put tomato sauce on the pitas, covered them with the stir fry, morgan covered his in cheese and we popped them into the over for homemade healthy pizzas and they were all his idea and not to mention delicious! This morning I forced myself out of bed and did 25 minutes on the stepper and burned 325 calories. I'm determined to make it through the whole week with no slip ups. Heres what today looks like:
B- 1 packet of cream of wheat and ff yogurt
S- a pear and 3/4 cup of dry banana nut cheerios
L- primo chicken and roasted veggie soup and cucumber slices
S- 100 cals of pretzels dipped into a laughing cow cheese wedge (22.5 cals) and a banana
D- healthy choice frozen dinner and side of steamed broccoli
Workout- tredmill

Looking good Janvier! I hope you had a good weigh-in today and things are going in the right direction. The scale can be frustrating! Work hard this weekend and next week will be a piece of cake again! Keep it up and have a healthy weekend! 
Thanks Lisa,
Last Friday I weighed in at 137 lbs which was down from 139 lbs, which was good but on Wednesday I snuck onto the scale and was 135 so I don't know what that was about but it was pretty discouraging. Work has been so frustrating, I have been given a lot of new responsibilities on top of all of my other work and it has been really stressful. I was doing so good all week last week and all day on Friday and by the end of the day I took a huge hand full of jubjubes (candies)
that one of the secretaries had on her desk all week that I avoided and it went downhill from there. I stopped on my way home for these coconut covered chocolates I love and snacked all night and healthy snacks but way too many. On Saturday night I went out, bought two coconut macaroons on my way out (I have a thing with coconut right now), had several (too many) drinks and had 2 sliders (mini burgers) and a side of fries . On sunday I woke up hungover and feeling like crap, my stomach was aching, I was bloated and my fingers were all swollen from all of the salt and sugar. I decided to be good with food all day which I was and wanted to gather the energy to workout but I felt way too terrible. I did manage to drag myself out of the house to get a few healthy snacks, fruits, veggies and some coke zero. Yesterday was a work day from hell, it was busy from the second I got in, all I had was yogurt when I got in then I looked at the clock and it was 3:30pm and I haven't even had my lunch! I went home and had and had dinner and took a nap, got up and decided I should go get some gas instead of waiting to get it in the morning and gave into a craving and bought more chocolate covered coconut 
!!! So I ended the day badly and felt terrible about it, but its a new day and a new chance to make it a perfect day, plus the biggest loser is on tonight so that should put get my motivation going- I don't know why but I feel like this struggling to be consistant is never going to end. Heres what today looks like:
B- ff yogurt and an apple
S-3/4 cup dry cheerios
L- ff minestrone soup and 100 cals of pretzels
S-banana and small salad
D- chicken and veggie stirfry
W- stepper and tredmill

I totally hear ya on this one! I totally went crazy for chocolate this weekend too!
It's a new day and a great chance to start fresh! Get on the stepper tonight and you will feel way better! I'm sure the BL will do the trick! Hey and look on the bright side - at least you didn't go crazy Sunday too!! One healthy day in there so give yourself some credit! We can get that good feeling back soon - just need to work hard for it. Keep it up Janvier!!
Thanks for the encouragement Lisa, You were completely right, I got on the stepper and felt sooo much better and the BL was good and exactly what I needed to get me back on track, I wish it came on more then once a week to keep me in line.
So yesterday was a perfect day (woohoo!), I stuck my meal plan all day, I went home and while watching the biggest loser I hopped onto my stepper and did an hour, during commercials I would go as fast as I could until the show would come back and burned 800 calories in the hour- my legs are aching today--good aching. After that I went on the tredmill for 30 minutes, walked for 10 minutes at 3.7, jogged for 10 minutes at 4.5 and walked again for 10 minutes at 3.7 and burned 200 calories. finally I went on the stationary bike for 20 minutes and burned 160 more calories. I felt great when I was finished but was in the mood for some kind of snack and decided on mint tea! I was so happy with my choices for the day and the mint tea really hit the spot, I'm thinking of making it a nightly snack. I tried to get up this morning to do 30 minutes on the stepper but I had to get to work an hour earlier then usual and just couldn't pull myself out of bed. I woke up a tad grumpy and really don't want to be at work today, I think I'm just exhausted, I'm going to try and leave early today, But I already decided that I'm not going to let my grumpyness get the best of me or wake up my snacking monster ->
, I want to continue this week doing well and not give into emotional eating, so heres what today looks like:B- 1/2 cup of eggwhites with 2 spoons of salsa (it was sooo good!) and ff yogurt
S- 1 cup of strawberries and 3/4 cup of dry cheerios
L- primo chicken and roasted veggie soup and 100 cals of pretzels dipped into 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese
S- banana and small salad (1 cup mixed greens with sun dried tomatos)
D- veggie and noodle stirfry and sauteed cabbage
Workout- stepper and tredmill

I know what you mean about resisting the emotional eating this week. I've been battling with myself a lot the last couple days. I figure if I can get through another great day it should feel easy again. I need to get my focus back.
Great workout last night! I was doing mine while watching the BL too. I'm cheering for Courtney this year - I love her attitude.
I'm feeling exhausted today too and it's supposed to be my long run day but I'm not sure I'll be feeling up to it. Hope you make it through the day as planned! Stay strong and keep it up!!!

I'm cheering for Courtney too! I really like her and she's doing amazing, I wish I had an ounce of her positive attitude.
So this weekend was terrible, I did a horrible job controling myself, my willpower was terrible and between Friday and Sunday I had chocolate, candy, a few chips, a hamburger and fries, cookies and a chicken wing
. I'm pretty fed up and disgusted with myself this week, I'm a sick of taking 5 steps forward and 10 steps back and had a bit of a melt down last night just out of frustration, I know that I'm no where near my start weight but I'm no where near my goal weight or even my lowest weight that I was at last year at this time and it just feels like the never ending story and a never ending struggle. I went shopping this weekend and nothing was fitting me at all and It just felt the way it use to feel when I was 50+ pounds heavier 
, I know that I know how to get to my goal but I'm just struggling with everything this week and I'm just feeling really down. I was good yesterday, I stuck to my meal plan and went out to valentines day dinner with Morgan, I was faily good there too, I had a spicy chicken salad, but I also had a few bites of the pita and spinach cheese dip he ordered and he ordered me apple crumble for dessert but I let him have most of it. I plan on eating well for the rest of the week and I'm hoping to gather some energy to workout. sorry for the pitty fest. Heres what today looks like:B- 1 packet of cream of wheat and ff yogurt
S- sf apple sauce and 3/4 cup of dry cheerios
L- chicken and rice soup and 100 cals of pretzels dipped into light laughing cow cheese
S- banana and small salad
D- Helathy choice frozen dinner and steamed veggies

Hey Janvier,
How'd the weekend go? Do you have family day off today? I'm ready to kick some butt again and would love to have you on board for a great healthy week! Let's do it!

Hi Lisa,
The whole week and the weekend was a complete bust! I did a huge amount of emotional eating, I just had a terrible week, I got the flu, my tooth broke, work was terrible and then I had some family visit from washington and ate out all weekend and didn't work out once all week!! But I was off for Family day and ate well all day to start the week off well. I am definitely on board with you this week and I am dying to kick some butt!! Thank you for wanting me to get back to workout hard. I can't wait for the BL tonight to workout during it and to get me back on track.
One good thing about this weekend was that I went to the book store with my cousin and found this this great diet and fitness journal to keep track of my food, water and workouts and it's filled with tips and room for notes and a before and after picture and he has nutrition facts in the back and I just can't wait to use it and I'm really hoping it will make a difference for me. Also I bought a book called "skinny bitch" which is says is a "no-nonsense tough-love guide for sauvy girls who want to stop eating crap and start looking fabulous!" It seems really funny and informative and I'm going to read it during my lunch hour daily to keep me strong during the day. I'm ready to work hard this week. Here's what today looks like:
B - ff yogurt and 3/4 cup of dry cheerios
S- 2 clemintines and a 1/4 cup of blueberries
L- primo chicken and roasted veggy soup and 100 cals of pretzels dipped in laughing cow cheese
S- banana
D- chicken and veggy stir fry
Workout- stepper, tredmil and elyptical
Have a happy Tuesday!!

Great job getting back on board!! It's easy to fall off the wagon but it takes effort to get back on so good for you! Keep it up this week!
Thanks Lisa, you're so right, slipping up so easy and getting back on track can be so hard. I guess if you really want something you have to work hard for it and I think in the end it will definitely be worth it.
So yesterday went well, I stuck to my meal plan, I went on the stepper for an hour, tredmill for 25 minutes alternating between 4.0 and 6.2 and I changed my mind about the elyptical and did my hip hop abs dvd. I had a few pieces of honeydew before bed as well as some mint tea so I was happy about my snack choices as well. I wanted to get up to do a 30 minute workout this morning but I couldn't drag myself out of bed, I went to sleep far too late last night and I need to stop doing that. My calves were aching this morning, probably from not using them at all last week. My cousin in Texas is going to be graduating from highschool in the first week of June and I decided that I want to go and I want to look amazing for it. I want it to be my new goal and I think 3 months is a good amount of time to lose 17 pounds to get me to 120 lbs, which is a little more then 5 pounds a month, which doesn't sound too bad but I know it's going to take a lot of hard work and serious dedication. But it would be so amazing if I did it right in time for the start of summer to enjoy wearing cute summer clothes and bathing suits. So it's really time to push hard and stay focused! Today is going well so far. Here's what it looks like:
B- 1 packet of cream of wheat and ff yogurt
S- apple and 1 cup of dry corn pops
L- primo soup and pretzels with laughing cow cheese
S- banana
D- Lean cusine with steamed veggies
Workout- hip hop abs with weights and tredmill

So Yesterday was good day in a row #3! I stuck to my meal plan, I had one clementine after dinner and I went on the stepper for an hour, my legs were still aching. I have been tracking all of my foods in my new journal and I really love it, you track the food, calories, fat, carbs, fibre and sodium as well and calculate everything at the end of the day. It really puts things into perspective because I never calculate calories of fruits and veggies but they add up pretty quickly and it makes you realize that you are eating more calories in a day then you thought so I'm really enjoying that. Also one of the tips that the journal suggested is having 2 glasses of water when you wake up in the morning before breakfast to rehydrate after sleep and to start your day off not being starving and I have been doing it and loving it! It helps my get more water in then I usually do and it really does curb some of the morning hunger helping me to not be counting down the minutes until my morning snack! So I'm feeling good this week and I am hoping for a good number on the scale for my weigh-in tomorrow. Heres what today looks like:
B- Vitamuffin top (100 cals) and ff yogurt
S- apple and 1 cup of dry cheerios
L- primo soup and pretzels with laughing cow cheese
S- banana
D- lean cusine and veggies
S- 2 clementines
Workout- tredmill and hip hop abs

S- apple and 1 cup of dry cheerios
L- primo soup and pretzels with laughing cow cheese
S- banana

Workout- tredmill and hip hop abs
Yesterday was good day #4! I stuck to my meal plan 100%, after dinner Morgan and I feel asleep on the couch for almost 4 hours, it was such a good nap, it was after 11pm when we woke up and I still got up and hopped on the stepper for 65 minutes burning 700 calories and did about 30 minutes of different excersices with my 8lb dumbells. I weighed in this morning at 136 lbs, one pound down finally, I have been 137 lbs for weeks, I'm a tad disappointed that it wasn't more but glad to see the number going down and it was enough encouragement to make me want to be good this weekend and not cave when I'm bored. I plan to workout this weekend as well, most weekends it hardly crosses my mind but I'm tired of not being able to wear the jeans that were baggy on me not too long ago that are now just collecting dust in my closet. I feel like my mind is finally back on track and I have resisted sooo many tempations this week and have been tracking everything and reading my skinny bitch book for motivation and I just feel good this week. Heres what today looks like:
B- 1 packet of cream of wheat and ff yogurt
S- apple and 1 cup of dry cheerios
L- roasted chicken and veggie soup and pretzels with laughing cow cheese
S- 3 clementines and a banana
D- lean cusine with sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli
Workout- tredmill and hip hop abs
Have a nice healthy weekend everyone!

Hope you kept the momentum up throughout the weekend! Last week turned out good!!! Keep it up!!
Lisa- On Friday I had too many snacks and didn't workout , On Saturday I got back on track with eating and worked out- I did Hip Hop abs with weights and I think 35 minutes on the tredmill, it was the first time in a few months that I worked out on the weekend! I ate well on Sunday but didn't workout.
This week started off really rocky, I have been so grumpy and unmotivated and keep feeling like giving up all together, I considered deleting my account on here as well. I feel like with weight loss I have such high highs and low lows and its just plain annoying. I ate well all day on Monday but was in such a bad mood that I just wanted to stuff my face and feed my emotions, around 1am (ONE AM
iggy:!!!) I made a grilled cheese sandwhich, lots of butter and lots of cheese 
, ate it in bed, finished it, felt ridiculous about it and had an instant stomach ache , I set my alarm to get up an hour before work to work it off and slept in an hour and a half!!! So I woke up annoyed that I couldn't work off the grilled cheese and because I was late and have been on thin ice at work with being late. I was have cravings all day yesterday for just anything, after work I caved and bought an apple fritter at starbucks and felt even worse about myself. I decided I was still going to workout and did 75 minutes on the tredmill while watching the biggest loser and burned 500 calories which was probably almost what the apple fritter contained but I was still happy with myself because thats the most I've ever burnt on the tredmill. I woke up feeling much better today and I'm determined to turn my week around. I decided that over the weekend I really need to evaluate my meals and snack and do a little cutting back, even maybe just half the servings on my snacks. Tracking my calories in my food journal has really put things in perspective and I have been eating more calories then I thought. So I have my healthy lunch packed today, my friend wanted to go out for dinner and I told her to just pack her dinner and come to my place and we can eat our dinners together instead, shes really understanding when I tell her that I need to focus on heathy eating. I'm getting a workout in this evening no matter what time it is, I'm trying to be even one more pound down by Friday and I think I can get there if I work hard enough, I was back to 137 on the scale this morning so I'm going to have to really kick it into high gear. Sorry for the long rant but I think I needed to get it out. Heres what today looks like:
B- 1/2 cup egg whites and 2 fork fulls of salsa and ff yogurt
S- 1 cup of honey dew and 1 cup of dry cheerios
L- chicken and veggie soup and pretzels dipped in laughing cow cheese
S- banana and small salad (1 cup)
D- lean cusine with sautted mushrooms and steamed broccoli and asparagus
Workout- 30 day shred and stepper

So Yesterday was almost perfect. I stuck to my meal plan, my friend came over and I stuck to my planned dinner, I was craving snacks after dinner so I had some tea which didn't really do the trick so I had about a 3/4 cup of cheerios with 1/2 a cup of skim milk and it really filled me up and satisfied me. I was happy with my snack choice. She stayed later then I anticipated and I ended up driving her home around midnight. I got home and continplated working out, I was sitting around thinking about it since at this point is was about 12:30am and I decided that I said I was going to workout no matter what time it was so I better get my butt on the stepper. I ended up staying on it for 67 minutes while I watched tv and felt really good about myself for following through with my promises of turning my week around. I did about 10 minutes of arm excercises with my 8 lb dumbells and went to bed. I set my alarm for 6am to get in a morning workout to make up for Monday but hit the snooze a few times, at 6:30am I finally dragged myself out of bed and did 28 minutes on my stepper, I have no idea how many calories I burned because the batteries died in the display half way through my workout. I plan on making today a perfect day and really hoping for a loss tomorrow. I also want to set some food and workout goals to stick to over the weekend to not keep ruining my progress from the week, I hate waking up Monday morning feeling bloated and crappy from the lack of excercise and from too many snacks, sugar and salt. Heres what today looks like:
B- 1/4 cup of egg whites and 1/4 cup of cheese and chives egg beaters with 2 forkfuls of salsa and ff yogurt
S- orange and 1 cup of dry cheerios
L- chicken and rice soup and pretzels with laughing cow cheese
S- banana and small salad
D- lean cusine with sauteed mushrooms, steamed veggies and sauteed cabbage
Workout- Undecided but definitely something

I had to do some digging but I found your journal. I guess you've been busy at work again to update. I hope you've been keeping it up! Remember consistency is key! Keep pushing hard - one day at a time.
Thanks for your continued support and updates - it really means so much and really helps in so many ways!
Take care while I'm gone and I hope to see more updates when I return!

Lisa- Hi Lisa, it wasn't very busy, it was just a terrible week food wise and I didn't want to post any sob stories about it. Thank you for your constant support and advice, a lot of days it's what keeps me going so thank you for that! I'm taking your advice and I'm determinded to to be consistant this week and I'm just going to keep pushing. I am so happy for you for exceeding your goals and I'm going to use your dedication as my motivation, I'm looking forward to you being back and working hard with me.
So My weekend could of been better or worse, I ate healthy meals but had too many snacks and didn't workout once. I was good all day yesterday and made homemade pizza yesterday with whole wheat crust from scratch with fat reduced cheese, chicken breast and pineapple, it could of been healthy if I didn't use so much cheese, but I had two slices and lots of water and was stuffed so I was glad I didn't over eat. I also made banana muffins for Morgan- nothing healthy went into them execpt the bananas and I had no intentions of eating them because I usually put walnuts in them for him and I'm allergic so if usually works well that I can't even think about them but yesterday he said he didn't want walnuts so I ended up eating half of a regular sized one and I had a mini one that I made for myself, sooooo good but soooooo fattening. Anyway, I sent them to work with him so I don't have to see them. I spent a lot of time last night putting pretzels and cheerios into little zip lock backs to be organized for the week and I did some grocery shopping for healthy snacks and meals and picked up lots of fresh fruits and veggies to keep myself on track this week. I really want to stop talking about it and just start doing it. So today I have no reason to cheat, I have a big healthy lunch packed and lots of water with lemon juice to help flush out some of the salt and sugar from the weekend and I need to kick my own but in my workouts the week. I set my alarm to work out this morning but turned it off and slept in, I did get in 20 pushups, a lot of crunches and a few arm excercises with my 8lb dumbells in before I rushed out of the house. I'm excited to stick to my plans this week and to keep my updates going here as well as in the food and fitness journal that I boght. So heres what today will look like:
B- 1 packet cream of wheat and FF yogurt
S- 1 1/2 cups of mango and 1/2 cup of dry cheerios
L- 1 cup of sauteed cabbage and roasted chicken and veggie soup
S- 12 mini pretzels (80 cals) dipped in laughing cow cheese (25 cals) and a banana
S2- cucumber slices
D- lean cusine and steamed broccoli
Workout- stepper and arm work with my 8lb dumbells
Have a nice Monday everyone!

Anyway, I sent them to work with him so I don't have to see them. I spent a lot of time last night putting pretzels and cheerios into little zip lock backs to be organized for the week and I did some grocery shopping for healthy snacks and meals and picked up lots of fresh fruits and veggies to keep myself on track this week. I really want to stop talking about it and just start doing it. So today I have no reason to cheat, I have a big healthy lunch packed and lots of water with lemon juice to help flush out some of the salt and sugar from the weekend and I need to kick my own but in my workouts the week. I set my alarm to work out this morning but turned it off and slept in, I did get in 20 pushups, a lot of crunches and a few arm excercises with my 8lb dumbells in before I rushed out of the house. I'm excited to stick to my plans this week and to keep my updates going here as well as in the food and fitness journal that I boght. So heres what today will look like:
B- 1 packet cream of wheat and FF yogurt
S- 1 1/2 cups of mango and 1/2 cup of dry cheerios
L- 1 cup of sauteed cabbage and roasted chicken and veggie soup
S- 12 mini pretzels (80 cals) dipped in laughing cow cheese (25 cals) and a banana
S2- cucumber slices
D- lean cusine and steamed broccoli
Workout- stepper and arm work with my 8lb dumbells
Have a nice Monday everyone!
Yesterday was a great day foodwise. I stuck to my meal plan 100% and even left out eating my cheerios because I just wasn't hungry at the time that I usually eat them, usually I would just eat them anyway- hungry or not-but I thought why am I eating if I'm not hungry? So that was good. I fell asleep on the couch after dinner, woke up around midnight and got on the stepper for 35 minutes then went to bed. I got up at 6:30am this morning and did 20 push-ups, lots of crunches, leg lifts and some arm excercises with my 8lb dumbells and went back on the stepper for 30 minutes. I'm looking forward to this being good day number two, although I'm already a lot more hungry today then I was yesterday I packed enough healthy food to keep me on track.
