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 ~ July 30, 2014

Well, today's post is not fun to write.  I'm not happy, but I'm facing the music and will definitely be working much harder to get this weight off and keep going.  My weigh in this week didn't even deserve a picture.  I weighed in at 183.6 this morning, up 1.4 pounds from last week. 

Weigh In Wednesday

Starting Weight: 198.9

Previous Weight: 182.2

Current Weight: 183.6

Weekly Change: +1.4

Total Change: -15.3

Three weeks ago, I was at 181.4 and was sure I was going to fly by my Diet Bet goal for this month.  The weigh-out for Round 2 is Sunday and Monday.  I need to be 177.8 or below in order to win this round.  I'm going to focus on lots of water, fruits and veggies and cutting back on sodium and watching my sugar and carb intake for the next 5 days.  I know it is next to impossible to lose 5.8 pounds, but my goal is to be closer to the 177.8 than I am to the 183.6 now. 

My older daughter's birthday is on August 14.  I would like to be at 180 or below by then.  That gives me 15 days to lose 3.6 pounds.  I know I can do it.  I'm going to have to plan my meals better next week and really get my focus back.  I have the Power 90 and T25 DVDs to use.  I have time at night after my husband and daughters go to bed.  I have no real excuses why I can't do the exercise. 

I am going to track everything that goes into my mouth on MyFitnessPal and get at least 30 minutes of exercise 5 days this week.  The weather has been fantastic and unseasonably cool this week.  I really need to take advantage of it and take a walk after dinner.  Maybe we could all walk together as a family.  Or, better yet, we can get Abby's bike out and she can ride that while I push Audrey in her stroller.

Weigh In Wednesday ~ July 23, 2014

Hey everyone!

So last week I had a gain and decided that instead of keeping myself accountable and posting here, I'd go ahead and enjoy my birthday week and gain even more.  When I weighed in on Monday, I was at 184.3, almost 3 pounds higher than my lowest weight and 1.6 pounds higher than my last WIW post.  At that weight, I would have to lose 0.5 pounds PER DAY to meet my Diet Bet goal for this month.  I got back on the wagon.  I started guzzling water, eating TONS of fresh fruit, especially cantaloupe and watermelon, and got my focus back.  In 3 days, I am down 2.1 pounds.  Now, I have to lose 0.36 pounds per day to meet my goal.  I'm not sure I will make it, but I am definitely going to try!

Here's my weight for today:

I am 0.5 pounds less than I was two weeks ago, which I guess is pretty good considering it was MUCH worse a few days ago!  I'm mad at myself for the backslide, but very happy that I was able to get myself back on track so quickly.  My next obstacle is a trip to Nashville this weekend for my niece's 1st birthday party.  We will be meeting up with some friends on Friday night for dinner and then meeting some other friends for lunch on Saturday, not to mention the cake at the party.  I plan on eating LOTS of grilled chicken salads this weekend!  I have a big Tervis tumbler that I keep filled with ice water that makes it easier to get my water in. 

I bought Tony Horton's Power 90 through a deal on Groupon and it showed up this week.  I plan to start it next Sunday night and work my way through that one.  I would like to do T-25 again since I never finished it, so I think I'll do that after I finish Power 90 in October.  That would get me through to Christmas and I'm going to ask for some other workout DVDs for Christmas to add to my collection.  Who knows?  Maybe by Christmas I'll have psyched myself up to do Insanity!

I am starting to get some pricing information for some of the gyms in the area, too.  There are 3 major ones around here, so I'm hoping I can get a good deal somewhere.  I would love to rejoin the gym I belonged to until last year.  They had some amazing classes and I befriended several of the instructors, so I would love to get back to some of those classes.

Weigh In Wednesday - May 28, 2014

OK, so this is really Weigh In Thursday, but whatever.

I am up to 191.4, so 0.3 gain this week.  No pictures this week either.  Just call me a slacker!  I'm linking up with Heather, Ash, & Erin.

I ate entirely too much food this weekend and got no exercise.  I did hit 10,000 steps on Saturday and Monday.  My goal this week is to hit 10,000 steps at least 3 days and get back on the work out bandwagon.  I had to take the past two nights off because I hurt my shoulder and didn't want to risk injuring it further.  It feels better today, so as long as I don't hurt it again, I'll be doing Rip't Circuit tonight.  I'm really enjoying T-25 Beta much more than Alpha.  I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do next.  I'm always up for suggestions!

I stocked up on stuff for salads and got lots of fresh fruit to snack on this week.   This weekend, I'm going to make up a Hamburger Pie recipe my mom makes that is super delicious and healthy.  I'll have that for lunches next week, which will help keep me on track and save me money.

Goals for the week:

1. DRINK WATER
2. Fruits and Veggies!!
3. 10,000 steps at least 3 days
4. T25 every night except Saturday
