Time to play a little catch up. I've been pretty busy this week and haven't been able to post in the last few days. Unfortunately being busy has also kept me out of the gym. But that's ok, I've been doing good with my eating and will resume the exercise when things settle down a bit.
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.
Officially weighed in this morning. Lost another 3lbs. WooHoo. Very happy about that considering I didn't exercise much this week and mother nature paid me a visit. Here's how yesterday shaped up:
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!

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.

I can't believe it's been 4 full weeks already. Time flies when you're having fun. I'm real happy with my progress so far. Here's a recap:
Start date: 9/10/07 180 lbs
9/17/07 end of week 1: 171 lbs - 9 lbs lost
9/24/07 end of week 2: 169 lbs - 2 lbs lost for week, 11 lbs lost total
10/01/07 end of week 3: 167 lbs - 2 lbs lost for week, 13 lbs lost total
10/08/07 end of week 4: 164 lbs - 3 lbs lost for week, 16 lbs lost total
2 more lbs and I'll have reached my 10% goal. A mini milestone.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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%. I'm feeling really good about the progress so far considering I haven't really gotten into the exercise mode yet. Once we close our store for the seaon I'll have more time to really focus on exercise. In the mean time I'll do what I can and not beat myself up over it if I can't.
Here's how the week finished up:
Sunday, October 14th
Breakfast:
none
Lunch:
5oz. Filet of Sole - 4 points
17g pistachios - 2 points
Linear Mode
