Guess who's back...back again....

Well, I weighed in this morning at 191.7 after eating Chick-fil-A for lunch and Moe's for dinner yesterday.  I am definitely going in the WRONG direction with my weight loss here.  I am starting over.  I have cancelled my Weight Watchers membership since I was paying for it but wasn't using it to track anything.  I am using My Fitness Pal again and love that it is free.  Definitely helps the budget!

I am going to get onto Emily Bites to pick out some recipes to try for breakfasts and lunches this week.  I have been making her Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Singles for breakfasts.  They are delicious and filling.  I am anxious to try some new recipes!

My goals for November are below:

1. Track all food in My Fitness Pal
2.  Focus on drinking at least 64 ounces of water each day
3.  Start blogging again and link up with Weigh-In Wednesday
4.  Start working out again
5.  Get at least 5,000 steps a day (I work a desk job and don't get up nearly enough during the day)
6.  Lose at least 5 pounds.

I am going to ask for the 21-Day-Fix for Christmas.  In the meantime, I will focus on tracking my food and trying to make healthier choices.

Weigh in Wednesday - June 17, 2015

Wow!!  Almost 3 months since my last update.  OOPS...

SW: 184.2

Last Week's Weight: 179.6

This Week's Weight: 183.4

Pounds lost this week: +3.8

Total Lost: 0.8

Pounds to go: 23.4

I pretty much fell off the wagon.  This morning, I weighed in at 183.4.  I am up 3.8 pounds in 3 months.  My sugar intake has been out of control lately.  This week, I am going to focus on WATER, WATER, WATER.  I am going to make up some egg muffins for breakfast and a hamburger pie for lunches next week.  I'm going to pack lots of fruits and veggies for meals and snacks at work next week.

My goal is to focus on food and water for the next 1.5-2 weeks and then work on getting back into an exercise routine.  I need to get my eating under control before I start to try to bring the workouts back into my schedule.

Weigh In Wednesday on Thursday - March 26, 2015

Well, I haven't blogged in over a month.  I weighed in yesterday morning and was at 179.6.  That's up 0.8 pounds since my last blog post.  My goal is to be out of the 170s by the end of April.  We are going on vacation in either May or June and I want to be between 160-165 by then.  I'm linking up with Heather, Erin & Winter for Weigh In Wednesday.  

SW: 184.2

Last Week's Weight: 178.8

This Week's Weight: 179.6

Pounds lost this week: +0.8

Total Lost: 4.6

Pounds to go: 19.6

I'm going to restart my Beachbody programs and see if I can find a Les Mills Pump/T25 hybrid schedule to do.  I know that will help tremendously.  I've started fixing my lunch everyday for work and trying to focus on adding lots of fruits and veggies to each meal.  I'm going to get on Pinterest and see if I can find some new recipes to try for breakfasts and lunches.  I also need to get our water line in our refrigerator fixed.  It keeps freezing up, so I probably need to get the thermostat replaced.  I know that will make it easier to remember to drink my water.  

I've started drinking decaf tea with just a little bit of sugar in it at dinner.  I figure that is better for me than the diet cokes I've been drinking.  

Weigh in Wednesday ~ February 18, 2015

Hey everyone!  I hope you all had a good week last week. Our week has been a bit crazy so far. We had an ice storm on Monday and yesterday got 1.5 inches of snow on top of that. I live in the south, so we don't get enough of that weather to know how to deal with it. Today, the high temperature is only supposed to be 16. BRRRRRR!!! 

On to my weigh in. I was down almost 2 pounds over the weekend, but being stuck at home inside for 2 days screwed that up. I am down 0.7 pounds this week. 

                        SW: 184.2

           Last Week's Weight: 179.5

           This Week's Weight: 178.8

           Pounds lost this week: 0.7

                     Total Lost: 5.4

                 Pounds to go: 18.8

Have a great week!!! 

Weigh in Wednesday - February 10, 2015

Hey everyone!  I did have a loss last week, but was really busy and didn't make time to blog about it.  I was down 0.9 last week to 180.9.   This week I had another loss!  So excited!

SW: 184.2

Last Week's Weight: 180.9

This Week's Weight: 179.5

Pounds lost this week: 1.4

Total Lost: 4.7

Pounds to go: 19.5

I am so glad to FINALLY be out of the 180s!!  My next goal is to lose 1.3 pounds so I can get my first 5 pound star and move more steadily into the 170s.  I've been eating LOTS of fruit and veggies and trying to focus on my water intake, so I think that has really helped.  I did lose 1 point per day, so I am at 29 points each day now.  I don't mind though.  That means this is working!!  Yesterday, I had 6 points left over at the end of the day and I wasn't hungry.  I didn't use them.  Obviously, I won't make a habit out of that, but there are some days when I am just not hungry.  There are plenty of other days where I make up for it.  

Come join me with Heather, Ash & Erin for Weigh In Wednesday!  

Weigh In Wednesday - January 28, 2015

Well, here I am again!  I'm participating in Weigh In Wednesday with Heather, Ash & Erin again this week.  I'm so glad to have this wonderful group of bloggers to participate with each week.  It definitely helps keep me accountable.  Here's my weigh in for the week.

SW: 184.2

Last Week's Weight: 182.7

This Week's Weight: 181.8

Pounds lost this week: 0.9

Total Lost: 2.4

Pounds to go: 21.8

I'm down almost another pound this week.  I'm so glad those pesky 180s are almost out of here for good!  I'm going to focus on my water again this week and also work on working in more fruits and veggies with my meals.  

I've been tracking everything I eat and I have found lots of motivating people to follow on Instagram, which is really helping me.  I didn't get back into my workout last week, so I'm going to do that for sure this week.  I just need to do it.  I know I'll feel better after I start, it is just so hard to motivate myself to get up and do it after my kids are in bed.  I enjoy my sleep way too much to get up early enough to workout before everyone else gets up in the morning.  ;)

I'm still trying for 7000 steps each day.  The past two nights, I've been walking in place to get them in after the girls are in bed.  

My ultimate goal this week is to lose at least 1.9 pounds so I can be out of the 180s.  I'd love to lose 2.6 so I can get my first 5 pound star on my WW app, but I'll be thrilled to just get to a new decade for my weight.  :)

I hope everyone has a great week!!  

Weigh-in Wednesday - January 21, 2015

Wow, it has been a long time since I've joined Heather, Ash & Erin for Weigh In Wednesday!

I decided to rejoin Weight Watchers Online last Friday.  I was tired of going up and down the same 3 pounds with no progress.  I had my first weigh in this morning and I am down 1.5 pounds since Friday!  So pumped!

SW: 184.2 (Using my starting weight for WW)

CW: 182.7

Pounds lost: 1.5

Pounds to go: 22.7

I'm so happy to see that number going down!  I'm also doing the Bikini Body Mommy 3.0 Challenge.  I've gotten off the exercise portion of that because my husband had the flu all last week and got food poisoning last night.  I'm exhausted!  I'm going to get back on it today and try to push through the cardio from yesterday and the strength for tonight.  We'll see how that goes.  

My goals for this week are:

1. Stay within my points, using no more than half my weeklies

2. Get back into my workout routine

3. WATER, WATER, WATER!!!

4. Get at least 7000 steps per day

5. Take some time for myself this weekend

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
