Last week 161.0
This week 161.0
So, I stayed the same but I am actually happy about that because I thought I was gonna gain this week since I didn't exercise at all. I liked not weighing myself during the week. I'm going to do that again this week!
Also, this week I want to do 30 Day shred 3 times and work on the assignments from that book I was reading.
Well, I gotta run cuz we're going CAMPING!!! I'm so excited. =) I gotta go get packin! I hope you have a great weekend. You did awesome this week. I'm proud of you! I think your goals are awesome and I'm excited for you!!

Weigh in and plans :)
Hello there! Hoping today is going better than yesterday :) So here are my stats for this past week.
Previous 181.2
New 179.4
Loss -1.8
Yay for being back in the 170's. I didn't do what I said I wanted to do as far as losing what I gained last week plus a pound. But, I know I have set goals a million times and I never stay disciplined enough to stick to them. This time I feel different so I'll show you the goals I set for myself a few days ago....
Goal Weight: 125 pounds by June 15 2012 (before summer officially begins;) )
1st Milestone goal: 10% (-8.6) by September 16
2nd Milestone goal: 25 lb by October 14th
3rd Milestone goal: 50 lb by Feb 24
GOAL! 66.8 by June 15 ( this is including what I have lost up to now starting back in November last time I was on WW)
Now I have done some math to figure out how much I need to lose each week to get to these goals.
From now until January 1st I would like to lose an average of 1.5 lbs a week. I know this is on the high end of WW recommends but I feel since I am so overweight and have so much to lose I should be able to at least AVERAGE this. I know it's going to be tough going through the holidays and wanting to lose this much. But I figure if I can do it through the holidays I can do it anytime. There is no excuses!
From January 1st until June 15 I would need to lose an average of 1 lb a week. Again, I know this is kind of high but I feel like if I can lose more than that for the first couple of months when I start getting smaller then it will be okay to start losing less than a pound a week.
While I was doing this math I figured out a few fun facts...
Before September is over I will be in the 160's
Before Thanksgiving I will be in the 150's
Before the END OF 2011 I will be in the 140's
Before St. Patricks day I will be in the 130's
Before Luke is done with Spring Semester I will be in the 120's!
It helped a lot to break it down this way because I feel like I can concentrate on the smaller numbers easier. Which is funny because in the meeting I took minutes for yesterday there was a strategy planning guy there and he was talking about how you need to set small attainable goals for your employees because they can emotionally connect to those goals. I feel this is the same way with weight loss.
So, I lost a little MORE than my goal this week which will help when my period comes around or when I have a bad week or just get to my goal faster ha ha! The funny part is, even though I'm super excited about the loss, and I'm really glad to be back in the 170's. I would have felt good even if it wasn't as much. This week has been a huge turnaround for me and all week I've been getting comments on how I'm skinnier, I feel better in my clothes, and I just walk with more self confidence. This means so much more to me then the number on the scale, especially since I know if I continue to feel this way the number on the scale will go down and I will continue to feel even better.
Anywho, enough of that now for my goals for next week! (They are going to be pretty similar to last week)
1. I would like to eat only what I earn in Activity points, no Weekly points just to see how it compares to this last week where I ate all of my activity points and about 15 or my weekly points. I would however like to earn a little more activity points.
2. I would like to continue doing 30 Day shred every morning (except Sunday) which means by next Thursday it will be my 11th day and I will start level 2!
3. For aerobic exercise I would like to get my C25K in on Saturday Morning, Tuesday night and Thursday night and complete week 2. I would also like to get a long bike ride in on Saturday night (depending on the weather it is suppose to rain) and shorter rides in on Tuesday and Wednesday night. And maybe a brisk walk on Sunday...
4. I want to continue planning my whole week ahead and planning what to eat before I go out to eat.
5. I would really like to get all of my healthy checks in every day.
So we'll see how my body reacts to this plan and compare and contrast next Friday.
I have also decided (I know Mom and Dad may not be happy about this so we'll see...) depending on how much extra we make for the next 2 semesters I would like to go on a trip next May (if I am where I am suppose to be) hopefully to Disneyland if not then I would like to go to Seattle or something fun and different as a reward and before we start trying to have a baby.
Sorry for the long rant, have a good Friday!

MeAsUrEmEnTs and WoRkOuT! :)
Today has been a REALLY good day! Honestly best Monday I have had in a long time :) I love the feeling of not constantly checking the scale to see if I have lost anything. Today I decided to do my measurements to track them...and I realized that I had already recorded measurements back in November so I actually have something to compare it to...and I have to tell you sister they are good! No amazing because I still have a while to go, but I am excited to see some physical changes. So here are my stats....
Weight 191.8 181.2 -10.6
Waist 43" 41.5" -1.5"
Hips 46" 41" -5"
Bust 41" 40" -1"
Arms 14" 12.5" -1.5"
Thighs 26" 25.5" -.5"
Hoorah!
As far as my bike ride...
Time: 58:00
Distance: 11.3 Miles
Average Speed 11.5 MPH
Calories 568 Calories Burned
I hope all is going well, you should update me on how the book and everything is going :)
No Weekend Regrets
I now LOVE the feeling of waking up Monday morning with all of my weekly points left and a few Activity points left that I have earned so far! So far in the last month I normally have gone crazy on weekends and try to make up for it during the week. It feels so good not to have to do that, and I also haven't weighed myself since my weigh in on Friday. I am going to try really hard not to weigh myself until Friday! Here is a little recap of my weekend :)
Friday- Woke up early and did 30 Day Shred before work (so even though Friday is date night I didn't have to feel so bad about not exercising since I already got some in!) Then after work I went out to eat with Mom and Dad and shared a meal with Luke so I didn't feel ridiculously stuffed after! Then we went to get Frozen Yogurt, and I just got a small cup so again, I didn't feel like I had over done it. After that we went to the grocery store (ALWAYS a good idea to go after eating instead of when I am hungry ha ha) Then after we were done there we helped Lisa move a bunch of her stuff for a couple of hours (so I actually got some activity points for working out after all!)
Saturday- Woke up early and did 30 Day shred and Day 1 of C25K before going to the baptism. Then at the party I did my best to watch what I was putting on my plate and even had a brownie, but tracked all of it. And again, I didn't regret eating any of it! Then after that we finished helping Lisa move (some more activity points!)
Sunday- I did help my Lisa unpack a little bit and she made us dinner. Sunday was actually kind of a hard day for me because of fast Sunday so I didn't have breakfast and since church gets out at 2 so I had a pretty late lunch. But I was still able to get all my points in for the day (healthy points not just junk) and I drank 80 oz of water. Plus I went on a walk around the block with my Lisa and her girls, and then again with my Luke:)
Monday- This morning I slept through my alarm but luckily my boss doesn't care if I come to work at the same time every day (I normally like to come in at 7:30 just because that means I get off at 4) but today I decided to still do 30DS and go in at 8. All in all I am feeling great and VERY in control. I packed a great lunch today and tonight there is a special on Large pizzas at Papa Johns so we normally get that so I have made sure to save points for that tonight :) Hope you are having a good day and don't forget to update me! :)
Friday- Woke up early and did 30 Day Shred before work (so even though Friday is date night I didn't have to feel so bad about not exercising since I already got some in!)

Weigh In
Last week 161.0
This week 161.0
So, I stayed the same...which isn't good but it's better than I was expecting since I only exercised once this week. My goal this week is to start paying attention to my hunger signals and only eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I don't think I'm going to be able to exercise much this week because we will have Danny and Marie staying with us and then I have girls camp also. So, I'm going to focus on controlling my eating and I would like to get down to 160 this week.
Good luck this week! You have some big goals but I believe in you. =) I hope you start feeling better!

Weigh in and Plan of Attack
Blah, that is exactly how I felt last night. I really wanted to get in a good workout before my weigh in, but I just couldn't do it. I was cramping so bad and I felt like a I had a rock the size of China in my stomach. So, I'm not surprised at all at the results from this weigh in...bummed, but not surprised.
Previous 178.6
New 181.2
Gain of 2.6
Yup I just gained back pretty much everything I lost in the last two weeks. It sucks, yes but like I said last night IT IS NOT the end of the world and I just have to try harder next week. I know I didn't do very well last week with eating out and making all the right choices. As hard as it was to admit, I did count all my points and I went OVER my weekly points and activity points. It was not a good week. But here is my plan of attack for next week :) I'm hoping to lose at least what I gained (hoping that a lot of it is water weight and being bloated and crap) plus a pound :) Yes, it is high hopes but I might as well shoot for the stars and if I don't quite make it at least I know I tried my hardest.
1. Count ALL of my points that go in my mouth and make sure to plan out what I am going to eat before I go out to eat if possible.
2. Do 30 Day Shred every morning and maybe a little Wii fit depending on when I wake up(except Sunday).
3. Alternate between Couch to 5K training (Monday night Wednesday night and Saturday morning) and Bike rides (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights)
4. Make sure to get all of my healthy checks in (fruits and veggies, activity, water, oil...)
5. Drink at least 80 oz of water every day! (Not including what I drink while I am working out)
Yes, these are lofty goals and yes I do realize I may not be able to reach all of them, but this is my plan and I am hoping for a better week next week :) The most depressing part is that I now am back over 180 and I officially have to lose 52 pounds before I can even start to try and get pregnant. But, my goal stands to try and be there by May 5, 2012 so lets see how it goes. I fell like I have a new founds determination and I think that may help in the following weeks :)
