Thanks Tiffany, I do like to push myself when I jog/run. I found that I used to underestimate what I was capable of. So I started pushing myself and was suprised at what I was able to accomplish. But I don't really overdo it, because you're right, I don't want to be paying for it for days.

Hi Fayefaye5,
Thanks for the encouraging words. Really try and keep a journal. When you start to write it down on paper I find that you tend to make better choices.

So, after yesterday's jog the legs don't feel too bad today. They are a little sore but that's about it. I'm going to give myself a day off today to recover then get another workout in on Friday. Gradually work back into it.

I'm counting down the days until Monday when I weigh in again. I'm really hoping for 2 more lbs to get me back into the 160's. Then we'll strive for the 150's. I like to take it 10 lbs at a time.

Anyway, here's how yesterday went:

Wednesday, September 19th

Breakfast:
Low Sugar Oatmeal - 2 points
Yoplait Whips Yogurt - 4 points

Lunch:
4oz. turkey - 2 points
2 pickle spears - 0 points
salad w/ 4tbsp light balsamic vinegarette dressing & 14g bacos - 3 points
1/2 oz. peanuts - 2 points

Dinner:
4oz. london broil - 4 points
(I ment to have mushroom w/ dinner too but when I sat down to eat I realized I forgot to make them, lol)

Snacks:
2 cups strawberries - 2 points
1 bag 94% fat free popcorn - 3 points

Total Points for the day = 22

Exercise:
48 minute jog - 3 miles
12 minute cool down walk
1 hour total

That's great! More information is always a good thing. I have to start keeping track of how much water I drink too. Some days I don't think I drink enough. I think that will be next weeks focus and goal. Increase and track water intake.

yeah im trying to increase my water intake. Im currently drinking about 80fl oz a day i think so thats pretty good. I often find though at the end of the night i get a craving for something different and will often have a diet soda.

I have tried water flavorings but none really interested me so for now im sticking to a very yummy diet cola flavored green tea as my evening flavour burst

do you ever get bored of water and crave more flavour?

Yes, I like the Crystal Light on the go packets. You just pour it into your bottle, shake it up and you're ready to go. My favorites are raspberry lemonade, raspberry ice and iced tea. I also find that when I'm craving food a bottle of that will take the edge off.

Had a good workout today even though the legs were still a little sore from Wednesday's jog. I finally got my butt back to the gym and did 65 minutes on the elliptical. Worked up a good sweat. I'm nearing the end of week 2 and I'm feeling pretty good about things. I think I have found that zone once again.

Here's what I had yesterday:

Thursday, September 20th

Breakfast:
Weight Watcher's bagel w/ 17g sugar-free preserves - 2 points
Yoplait Whips Yogurt - 4 points

Snack:
1 cup butternut squash soup - 1 point
2 cups fruit - mango & pineapple - 2 points

Lunch:
2oz. turkey - 1 point
salad w/ 4 tbsp fat free blue cheese dressing & 14g bacos - 2 points
14g cashews - 2 points

Dinner:
4oz. london broil - 4 points
mushrooms - 0 points
1 Weight Watcher's mini cake - 1 point

Snack:
1 bag 94% fat free popcorn - 3 point

Total points for the day = 23

Tomorrow is weigh in. Even though we went out to dinner last night I don't think it'll hurt me. I made wise choices. I'm hoping for 2 lbs to get back into the 160's. But we'll see what happens.

I have to make sure I exercise today. That will accomplish this week's goal of exercising 4 times.

Here's how yesterday looked:

Breakfast:
Weight Watcher's smoothie w/ 1 cup strawberries - 2 points
28g honey nut cheerios - 2 points

Lunch:
1 can Progresso Vegetable Noodle - 2 points

Dinner:
house salad w/ balsamic vinaigrette dressing
grilled tilapia & broccoli

Snack:
Weight Watcher's ice cream cup - 2 points

Total points for the day = 8 + dinner

Good luck with your weigh-in tomorrow! Glad to see that you are still doing well. Keep eating all or close to all your points so your body gets proper nutrition.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Tiffany. The weigh-in went well. I dropped another 2lbs for a total of 11lbs now. I'm very happy with that. 1 - 2 lbs a weeks works for me.

I never got to exercise yesterday. I got wrapped up in so many other things I just never got to it. Sooooooooooo.....the goal for this week will be to get to the gym Monday, Wednesday & Friday and do a workout at home on Saturday and/or Sunday.

Another goal for this week will be to increase and track my water intake. I want to drink a minimum of 80oz a day.

Some long-term goals I'd like to set for myself:
- Build my stamina back up on the treadmill to where I'm running the majority of the workout @ 6.0mph or higher.
- Run in a marathon.
- Be able to do 3 sets of 10 push-ups on my toes. (I really struggle with push-ups)
- To not let a little slip turn into a full collaspe.

I'll be added to this as I go along.

Hello There!! I think Weight Watchers is an excellent program, my sister lost over 70lbs on it and she had no problems at all, but like you she gained a few back and is trying at it again. I think we just get off track sometimes, our lifestyles change as the years go by and sometimes before we know it, we are up in the calories again and the pounds are very slowly coming on, and finally after 20 or so up you go, Ummmm what happened?? I think we have all been there, trust me!! But, your on the right track again, and your doing so very well, you should pat yourself on the back. ***Kim pats her new friend on the back*** I give you one as well. Nice job on the 11 pounds down already, thats just really nice to see. I wish you the best of success in your up and coming weeks, and you bet I'll be by to check in on you as well. Have a great day today!
Kim

Hi Kim,

Thanks for stopping by and for your encouraging words, not to mention the pat on the back. I really feel like I'm in the zone. I'm totally focused. I feel like there is no stopping me now. Once I get to my goal I am going to do everything that I can to stay there once and for all.

V.
