Rep Power: 14 | | | I made it thru our favorite buffet yesterday making all good choices. I had a game plan in my head and stuck too it. I get to a point where it really doesn't bother me to forego my favorites for better options.
I also played a little game with myself. I weighed myself before we left for Pa . I figured it I lost anything at that point for the week, that would give me the motivation to keep going and make the right choices. (I really wasn't expecting a loss becasue I hadn't exercised at all this week.) And if I hadn't lost anything it would give me the determination to stay strong so I can try and show some loss this week with two days left before my official weigh-in.
I was happy to see that I was down another lb. And even happier about it when mother nature paid me a visit during the day. That, on top of not exercising all week and still down a lb. is a good thing.
Anyway here's what I had yesterday:
Breakfast:
Low sugar oatmeal - 2 points
Lunch:
Nutrigrain Bar - 2 points
2 cups grapes - 2 points
Dinner: (Miller's)
Shrimp Cocktail
Salad w/ low cal dressing
Sirlion w/ carrots & grilled veggies
grapes
Total points for the day = 6 + dinner
Did a lot of walking today at the amusement park |

Rep Power: 43 | | WOW, your doing an AWESOME job, if you keep this up, you'll be at your goal weight in just a matter of months. You should be really proud of yourself, sticking to those points, that's what will do it. Good luck this week!

Rep Power: 14 | | Thanks Kim, it feels great shedding the lbs. And because it feels so good it makes it much easier to stick to my points as I go. I just have to remember this feeling when I'm at my goal weight so I don't yo-yo back again.
As the lbs. come off I'm get that bounce back in my step again. I like having that bounce.
p.s. I hope Aunt Flo stays for only a short visit, lol. |

Rep Power: 14 | | I really haven't gotten into that exercise mode yet. I pushed myself to go to the gym yesterday even though I really didn't want to. I knew once I got there and I was on the treadmill I'd be happy I went. And I was. My legs felt good on the treadmill as did my breathing so I bumped the speed up a bit. I really want to get back to where I was running the whole 30 minutes @ 6.0 and higher.

Rep Power: 14 | | I don't know what it is. I just can't get into the exercise mode yet. There was no reason I couldn't get a decent workout in yesterday. Instead I just putted around the house and only did 20 minutes on the bike. I guess that's better then nothing but I really could have gotten a lot more accomplished with the time I had.

Rep Power: 14 | | Winding down another week. I feel like I lost something but I hardly exercised this week so I'm not expecting much. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. In the next couple of weeks things should slow down some and I'll be able to focus on my workouts. Maybe I'll try and go for a walk this morning. I'd like to do something today with my weigh in tomorrow but if I don't do it this morning then there will be no time later. So maybe once I get a little work done I'll go for a 3 mile walk.
Here's how yesterday went. We went out to dinner once again. This is becoming a weekly thing but I've been making all good choices.
Saturday, October 13th:
Breakfast:
31g Golden Grahams cereal - 2 points
Yoplait Whips Yogurt - 4 points
Lunch:
1 cup Tortilla soup - 1 point
14g pistachio nuts - 2 points
Dinner: (Went to Diner)
salad w/ light Italian dressing
Broiled Filet of Sole w/ sauteed spinach (ate half the portion they served and took the other half home)
Snack:
1 bag 94% fat free popcorn - 3 points
Total points for the day = 12 + dinner |

Rep Power: 14 | | Today was my weigh in and I'm down another 2lbs woo hoo, for a total of 18 already. That brings me to my 10% goal. Now we'll shoot for the next 10%.
