Take 2

So I've been off of school on break for like 6 weeks. I've been a serious lazy ass and eating whatever I want whenever I want, and took a couple vacations. Not good....Scale was at 160.4 today. It's hard to believe I'm letting all my hard work slip away! I kept saying when I stopped actively trying to lose weight that I was just going to maintain until i was ready for my next cycle of working my butt off to work out, but that only lasted a while. Before I know it, 'll be back at 169+. Blah.

So yes, I'm back again. t I'm back to visiting pretty much daily. It seems like reading and posting really keeps me motivated.

I'll be back tomorrow :)
 
did Turbo Jam Monday. Yesterday I had my internship all day plus a night class, didn't get home and was running around non stop for 15 hours straight, so obviously no work out then!

Today I had eggs & coffee for breakfast and 1/2 C peaches. I'm still full, but am having progresso soup and salad for lunch. Not sure for dinner, but it will probably be grilled chicken/steamed veggies :) Yogurt for a snack in between.

I'm not planning on working out on Wed., I'm always too tired/destressing from internship/school. Will work out tomorrow in between doing homework!
 
scale was at 161.6 today :(

yesterday went as planned, except I had tuna on whole wheat and a salad for dinner and no salad with lunch

Yesterday I did not have dessert. I would have to honestly say that is pretty rare. 5-6 nights out of a week, I'll have 2-3 cookies or 2-3 brownies, or 2-3 scoops of rocky road ice cream. That is totally my downfall. I don't crave chips, or salty things, I have no problem eating healthy, and I only eat until I'm full. I don't really over eat normal foods, but I do with the sweets. I have to remind myself it's not normal to eat 2-3 servings of chocolate almost every day! I think I minimize what impact that has on me. It took so much strength and drinking water not to go for the pudding cups in my fridge last night. i will have one (AND ONLY ONE) on Saturday if I exercise and eat right the today and tomorrow

I'm going to go for a 45 minute bike ride, hauling my dd behind me while my son is in pre-school today

I'm off to eat breakfast--2 scrambled eggs w/ coffee & grapes
 
WOOT :D I was going through some old posts in my journal and for some odd reason decided to check to see if you'd been around or not and THERE YOU ARE! I must say my timing is great...only would have been better if I'd caught ya a few days ago. But yay you're back! Now don't get me all excited and leave again, lol. So what's new? I mean besides refocusing on the weightloss again :) Glad to have so many of my friends back on here
 
hey!! I'm not going anywhere! Gotta lose it! Scale was at 160.4 today. For some reason it was showing 164 for like a week in a row! Thank goodness I lost it again. Probably water weight, who knows. I've been mindful of my carbs and fat, and have had dessert only once a week :)

I really need to exercise some more. Yesterday we were painting rooms all day, so obviously I was not feeling up to it. Today we're having a Superbowl party. It's just chips, dip, hot dogs, chili etc. Not too worried since I don't really like those things anyway. We're not having dessert today (unless someone sneakily brings it), so I should be good to go! I will go on a bike ride after everyone leaves :)

I'm hoping to see 159 tomorrow, even if it's 159.9 :)

Last night I had an awful dream, that I was eating brownies by the handful. I checked the calorie count (in my dream) and it was 1000 calories per tablespoon, but i kept eating it anyway. Seems kinda silly. I've never binged or anything, but I was in my dream. I woke up feeling all yucky. I don't know what could have brought that on. I've been doing great with desserts/food!

I started working out again Mid June. I started at 163/164 this time. Last summer, I was at 170ish. Yikes. I'm down to 159 again. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week since mid June.

Today I did 4.25 miles on the bike in 20 minutes, with interval training, then did 40 back and 30 side flexes on a stand (don't know what it's called, sorry). The child care was closing for lunch, so I had to bust it out! Tomorrow, I"m planning on doing weights--upper body and the rowing machine, and I'm looking forward to it :)

I'm finding I"m having the same problem as last summer, which is eating too high in fats, and having trouble kissing the sugar goodbye. I need to not drink coffee every morning, because I like 2-3 tablespoons of flavored creamer, PLUS 1 tablespoon of sugar. Seriously gross, I know, but I love it!

I'm also having the same problem of struggling to lose weight even when working hard at the gym and eating well within my calorie range. I know it's the fats, and sugars etc. Even though I eat plenty of veggies, fruit, I need to change it drastically. But my pants fit better, I can wear pants/shirts I couldn't wear a month ago, and my boobs are shrinking, thank goodness :)
 
Well I have a migraine today, only moderate headache pain, but complete with dizziness, nausea etc. I dragged my butt to the gym anyway because sometimes I think it helps if it's a mild migraine. I did the row machine for 15, and upped the bike to level 8 for 10 minutes to go slow, and got in 2 miles, then called it a day. I do feel better. I feel more relaxed, the tension is slightly better, but I still feel nauseous and some pain. I'm drinking a lot of water

It's been 8 days since I had any dessert. Yay! I think I'm going to treat myself soon....tonight if I keep doing well on my cals :)
 
Today I did Jillian Michael's shape up- front dvd instead of the gym. (For those who have Netflix, it's an instant view on there). I don't have a step, so I had to modify, but it was a good work out! There's lots of lunges, squats, jumping jacks, twist crunches etc, I'll be sore tomorrow. I can only do 6 girly push-ups in a row though :( Oh well, I'll get better!

Headache's still here, but much better. Last night, I did have ice cream mmmmm yum. No I have to wait another week and be good all week to get it again! It's TOM and I weighed in at 160.4 this morning. I"m excited to see what I weigh after it's over. TOM adds a good 3-4 lbs, so I hope to be around 156/7!!! Must keep working really hard!

I'm hungry right now and struggling with what to do for a snack. It seems like everything either has too many sugars, fats, or carbs! I think I'll settle with cauliflower.....no dip
