Yikes....
I didn't end up eating too well today. I was doing good and got in all my requirements BUT I ended up having pizza for supper! That was not in the plan. I already had an idea of what I was going to make (doing it tomorrow now) and then DD1 suggested pizza since DH and I were still out and could pick some up. Why not? So we did and I ended up eating 4 pieces!!! Huge loaded pieces. Agh. My weakness. I usually make home made but this was a nice treat.

I don't mind so much, but I was doing so well and I couldn't wait to see if the weight would go down tomorrow... back into the 140's
And I only drank 2 glasses of water today. I'm too full to try and put any more food into my mouth.

I hate this. I always do this. It always seems to happen this way. Things are working so well in my favour and I slip up.
I was busy at DD2's school this evening.

Anyways.... we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Yay.... my weight stayed the same!
I was so upset with myself yesterday and, thankfully, I didn't ruin my efforts.

Still 150.0

Today I haven't even had one glass of water and I didn't go to the gym. I think I needed a break from the gym.
I have to at least have two glasses of water. This will keep my spirits happy that I'm at least continuing with the progress that I've been making. I don't want to take a rest from everything today.

Shy you are doing great 4 slices of pizza and you didn't gain. I'm happy for you. Sometimes that little treat works out ok. You enjoyed yourself and got right back on track. How wonderful. Who knows just that little treat may help you stay on track and tomorrow you may wake up and be int the 140 's Just keep exercising . Don't worry if you skip a day at the gym. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Just don't' go off track. You can do this. It just takes time.

I'm doing ok with my exercise. I do notice the days I don't exercise I seem to gain a bit of weight. Usually I eat the same foods it seems. So I know that I need to exercise to lose. Oh well, Right now my body can't handle 7 days a week. I did so far 5 days this week.

We can do this together.

You are absolutely right.... about everything.
First.... that treat did work in my favour. I woke up this morning at 149.0 lbs. I dropped one pound overnight!!! Yipee... I'm so excited

Second....about listening to my body. I think that my yoga class was a bit much the other day. I've only gone to three classes now and this one made me stretch out areas that I didn't even know existed! lol
I was all slow and achy yesterday. There are, however, some people who say that you should just jump right back on in regards to exercise... but i believe that the body should rest.
I did 4 days of exercise this week. I had hoped to go today but I spent most of the day with my DD1 at a walk in clinic. Agh. In fact, im on a break.... I told the secretary that I'll be back at the time... she's the last patient. In fact I have to go right about now.
Later. lol

I'm back... finally/
I don't want to go out again. I was running around with DD2 after I picked her up from an activity at 5pm. We had to go to 3 stores to pick up bday presents and then rush home and she got ready and grabbed her stuff for a sleepover and then I had to drop her right back in the same area as we were shopping in. Then I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up DD1's meds.
I'm home from a super hectic day.
All this started around 9ish this morning when I had to drop of DD2 for her activity. Quite a long one this time.... 9-5!
I didn't do one thing I was supposed to do and I'm not going to do it.
I'll email the person and see if I can pick it up tomorrow.

Now I have to make supper. At least I got the dishwasher loaded and started while DD2 was getting ready. No one's been home really, all day, and the kitchen looks like a nightmare.... not to mention the rest of the house.
DH and DS are downstairs now setting up the basement for their new entertainment system.

Anyways... thanks for listening and letting me vent.

I haven't been able to even get in any water today. It's almost 7 o'clock and I'm going to try and push in all the food that I should have eaten throughout the day NOW... agh.

I hope you're haveing a better day!

Keep up the good work with the exercise. I'm glad that you figured out that if you don't exercise you don't lose the weight. All of our bodies are unique and respond differently.

O....M.....G......
I'm going to ride this as long as I can!
I somehow dropped 1.5 lbs overnight! What? I don't know how.
And i didn't even drink any water or go to the gym. I was running around all day, mind you.

Either way, I'm excited and had to note this down quickly. I've got a busy day today as well.

Hope your weekend is going well.

Current weight: 147.5 lbs
goal weight: 140.0 lbs

**7.5 lbs to go

I ended up having unexpected company yesterday. MIL and FIL came by and I ended up having bad food choices. I didn't get in all of my requirements for the day. I was so busy cleaning up and literally just finished when they showed up. lol.... I ran upstairs to have a shower while DD's greeted them and let them in.

I had no time to even eat anything and the first thing I ate was at 3pm! That's when I had breakfast!!!
I was so busy cleaning and DH had to leave with DS for an event... he helped me as much as he could.
My house was in rough shape... especially from the day before where no one was really around to pick up clutter and do the dishes. Everything was delayed and piled up throughout the day as we popped in and out.
Of course the in-laws decided to come at a time like that. agh.

Anyways... gained 0.5 lb. My weight is 148.0.
Here's to another week of trying before Easter comes rolling around and we're already making plans to head out to Buffalo and to my moms. It will be a busy weekend.
How am I ever going to make my goal??? lol I doubt that I'll make it.

yay.... back to 147.5 lbs this morning!
I did nothing but rest yesterday and attend an evening seminar. I was super exhausted from my weekend. I really needed the rest. In fact, I kept falling asleep whenever I was sitting down.... at any time of the day. I could barely watch 10 minutes of tele without falling asleep.

How are you doing???
I haven't heard anything from you in a while. I hope all is well.
I couldn't wait to share my news with you about my weight loss.

Hi , Sorry for not coming on. I totally forgot to get on the computer had no idea it was so many days. Oh my
What is going on with DD? Is she ok now?
I'm glad you are able to vent that's the best thing.

As for the losing weight w/o doing anything. that's not the case you've been working hard at keeping on track sometimes we can fool the body when we go off track and go right back on. it will take the extra food and use it to lose the weight.
I've been running around a lot lately too. I understand about the house becoming a mess when your not around to work on it...

I will try to get on later or tomorrow. it's been a very hectic time. and the time has been flying bye... yesterday was the dentist and today was the back dr. oh my. running running.... take care.

Hey.... good to hear from you!
I know what you mean about being very busy right now. I didn't even post yesterday. That figures... the one day I skip and you chime in! lol
I've been so busy as well....
I think that I'm posting so that I can be accountable for my weight to 'someone' whether anyone is there or not. Do you know what I mean?

I'm still holding at 147.5 lbs and I'm happy. I did more exercise than I have in a long time yesterday. I was pretty beat when I hit the bed.
I went to the gym for 30 min of treadmill, went around the neighbourhood for a brisk walk with DH and kids after dinner and then had a late night dance session with DD1 on the kids new game. I worked up a sweat with that one. whew!

Today I'm off to my yoga class (one hour) and that should get the kinks out. lol

Hope you are doing well with your weight and eating.

Oh yeah... thanks for asking... DD is fine now. She had a viral cough that just would not go away and finally went to the dr and was given a high dose of steroids to help get rid of it. She is doing much better but the nagging cough is still there.

WOW you are doing great. So , close to your goal. Glad you are having fun exercising with the family. How is your daughter?
I do understand about being accountable. it's great that we can keep in contact . Hoping I'm on more. but I guess we've both had times when things were all crazy.

I'm doing ok. I just gained 1 lb over night I'm wondering if it's that I skipped a couple of days of exercise , eating late at night., or may be, it's the stevia. funny i stopped using it went back to sweet n low and lost the weight as soon as i use the stevia weight comes back on. just a thought lol

Starting the day early on DS. I hope you are having a good one
Lost the 1 lb I gained. however, with Passover dinner tonight I expect to not keep it off.
Only did 3 days of exercise this week. Still have today and tomorrow. not sure I'll do any as my back is out. I did 2 other days of shopping w/lifting and vacuuming with doing laundry.. but right now I just counted on my page the days I walked outside and the dvd's.. so technically LOL , I did 5 days. Ha ha. Now to just watch what I eat tonight.

Do you have a big family dinner for Easter?

It's been a couple of days. Ate way to much yesterday. We were in NYC visiting my SIL and I over ate .. We had a late lunch like it was really dinner. then I came home & for some reason had to have something to eat. What did I do Have sunbutter (it's ground sunflower seeds) with choc. chips and . then had a couple of spoons of ice cream. I ate way to much sunbutter . I gained 1 lb today. Will work on getting that off. Did take a walk with my daughter in the city yesterday for about 30 mins. she really walks fast. Can't imagine how much I would have gained if we didn't exercise LOL
Hope you had a great Easter..

How are you doing? Hope you are online soon.

Hey Shy where are you? I hope you are just very busy and nothing is wrong.
Things here are good. I've been fluctuating with weight again. back to 175 lbs. :(.
exercised 3x this week. I'm taking it easy. hurt my back lifting something the wrong way. Same old same old

Yeah.... tell me about it!
My weight has also fluctuated. I'm back up. I gained 3.5 or 4 lbs :( I know... I know....
I was so good at maintaining and trying to lose. I just couldn't maintain this weekend. I went to Buffalo for an overnight, mom's house for an overnight and in-laws for an overnight! Each day was busy and filled with yummy food and I couldn't always make the right choice! AND I certainly didn't avoid things that I should have... I just indulged more into it. Oops.
Yesterday I went into the big city for DD2 to see a concert. She skipped school (so did my DS) and we made a day of it.... she stood in line and the three of us went out and did some exploring. Then we met her again just in time for the concert.
Unfortunately DD1 is sick again. She was on the mend but now she's really sick. Sadly, I had to leave her alone yesterday. I've NEVER done anything like that before but I didn't have a choice. She pretty well slept all day and rested. We left her with lots of juice to drink and the food that she wanted. She was good... mostly slept and watched TV.... she even got a little better and decided to bake some cookies from scratch. Crazy girl!!!! BTW, they are yummy.

So.... needless to say, yesterday was also not a good day as far as food choices go. 5 days of poor choices left me with a 4 pound gain. I hope that I can shed some of it fast..... I need to get back to where I was.

Reality check: I will not make my goal by my bday. It's next week and I was ready to make the goal at 145 and not 140 by then..... unfortunately I'll be lucky if I can even get rid of this extra luggage.

Thanks for being concerned. I'm good... everything is okay.... just busy busy busy.
Oh... today is DH's bday so... another day of eating 'out'. That makes it 6 days like this now.
Agh.
