Getting away for the weekend

Dh and I are going away for the weekend.  Heading to Indiana to visit my aunt and uncle.  We are staying at a bed and breakfast.  We are also hoping to eat at a place called the Essenhaus. Which is an amish restaurant.  It has shops and a bakery as well as wholesale foods for sale.

Then we are heading to the Sybaris!! MMMM. that should be fun!!

Well the scale has not been good to me.  My jcc is calling the headquarters to see what to do with me.  I know I splurged some over the weekend, but with working out 8-10 hours a week it should still be coming off!!  Darn it. Going to not worry about it till I get back next week.

I will say that last night was the closest to tears I have been in long time over my weight. I was measured Wed night and even though I lost in my waist I gained in my legs and abs.  I also wi on thurs and put on almost 1pd. Not happy and very fustraited. I have been working my butt off and feel very defeated!!!!

Monday

My weight isn't to bad coming out of a weekend.  Ate somethings I know I shouldn't of.  Had blueberrie pie with a small about of icecream with it.  At my dads house with his "girlfriend"  she made it. It was good. It was the first time the family had been at dads when he has had Sally there.  Not too bad.  I think it went real well.  It must have been alittle uncomfortabe for her as well.  She is nice and her and dad talk about sports she like baseball and football so that is good. 

Chinese Saturday night.  Had a glass of wine with my meal.  Also had an egg roll and a crab ragoon. Two things I should have skipped but didn't.  Eating was good the rest of the weekend.

Tonight I have my two works outs. Wouldn't mind getting on the treadmill for a run as well.  I will see.  Wouldn't mind stepping up the jogging a bit. It is the best way to get rid of belly fat :-)

Onlye -.2!!

Well, I only lost -.2oz yesterday at my wi.  Was pretty down. But no way am I giving up.  I will just keep working out, eating healthy and tracking my food.Next week will be better. 

Today I stayed home and cleaned and straightened up.  Also am getting caught up with my scrap booking.

Football game tonight.  Bringing my JC popcorn and my own water.

Yesterday100%

Thats right yesterday was 100% on plan.  I normally am during the week but it still feels good to say.

I joined a new site called mydietplate.com.  I type in my weight and then tell it how much I want to lose a week and activity level. Then it tells me how much I should be eating.  I love it. It has a list of all different kinds of foods. So far I have found all of the foods I eat. So at the end of the day it tells me how many more calories I can eat.  And it is all on the same page so no going back and forth between pages.  I love it and my goal is every evening, even the weekends, to write down what I have eaten and my workouts.  I have had this feeling that I am not eating enough during the week.  JC has me on 1500 a day on the days I work out and 1200 on the days I don't.  daily plate has me at around 1900 a day.  I will see how it goes.  It is free so I am not losing anything but hopefully weight.

Had a great workout last night. Jogged for 25 minutes straight!! I have not done that in a very long time.  then went to a class at 5.  She was in a good mood and had lots of energy so she gave a good workout. I would rather have that then a so-so one.

This afternoon is my wi, my at home scale has me at a lose. 162 but I always go off the jc scale.

Well better go. Have a great day and stay positive!!!

I am back!

I can't believe it has been since July that I have not posted!!

It looks so different, they have added somethings.

My weight has been holding at the low 160's. Not what I want it to do, but am chalking up 2008 as not one of my better years.  Actually been one of the worst I think I have had. 

Most of you know that my mom past away in the spring, well her mom, my grandma past away in August.  She was 87.  We were all able to be there when she past. In August alone we went to four visitation and 6 for the year. I have not been to that many my entire life!!

Working out has been going well.  I love it and feel really great.  I am able to run for 20 minutes straight. Working on speed and time. 

Eating-my weekend are the worst.  Weekdays-good.  Need to focus on doing better but still feel that I am doing a good job.  I need to get better track of my calories in verses my calories out. I am suppose to eat 1500 calories but burn about 500-800 with my workouts. 

Today I am eating..

B-cereal

S-yogurt

L-pisto pizza with a salad

S-JC choc cake

D-mac and green beans.

Extras-banana and apple

Good morning

Today is my WI day.  I don't know what I weighed in at last week.  Didn't want to wi at all but my JCC talked me into it. I stepped on the scale backwards.  I know I am a big chicken.  should see alost this week.

Today is my toning workout along with my cardio machine workout.  Plan on doing 20 on the ellips and 20 on the treadmill.

We leave for vacation next week.  Looking forward to getting away.  We are going to Cancun agian.  Talking ds's gf and other ds is being a friend.  He was suppose to go with us a few years ago and broke his foot a week b4 we were to leave.  So he is very excited and no broken bones yet!

Have a great day.

Weight has not move downward...but I am noticing that 2 pair of jeans and a dress that I bought in May are fitting looser.  How can that be?  My weight is the same and I am measuring the same but clothes are fitting better.  It must be the working out I am doing.  Just tighting things up I guess.

Good morning

I noticed yesterday after I had posted that the last post was March 19.  That was the day before we had gotten the news of my mom.  On March 20 I got a call from my dad that he needed to take mom in the emergency room.  Her lung was filling with fluid again.  The third time in 3 months.  Mom had been on oxgyen for a couple of weeks and it worked better when one of us kids could go along to doctor appointments or to the hospital.  So I met them at the house. My brother was already there. Mom could walk on her on, she had become very weak.  The last three weeks had not been good.  We got her in the car and load up the ox. tank and we were on our way.  When we got there things were moving fast. Dad even said we should be in a room in good time. Well things started to stand still. It wasn't until 2:30 that afternoon that we were told by two docs that that cancer drug seems to be causing other side effects. Even though the cancer is shrinking the side effects are causing the lung to keep filling up with fluid. So they decided to stop treating the cancer and call in hospice.  She came home Saturday afternoon and died Tuesday evening.

More on this later.

Really struggling!!

With my weight!  Or more my eating. Just can't seem to get it together. I am thinking about changing my goal weight from 135 to 150.  Maybe more of a mind game than anything.

Since my mom past away it has been hard to stay focused!  Just some mindless eating.  Thinking about food or not really thinking about food and just eating when things are going on.

Just tired of it. I am not giving of. I am not anywhere that point. I don't like the up one week down the next.  One week eating went well the next not so well.

Hate this part of me!  Wish I just could be the person that could eat whatever and stay slim.  But that is not me. 

I have been working out more.  I am really enjoying that.  It has been fun. And is good for me to get out.  Even though there are days when all I want to do is stay in bed. I have so much to do but just know desire to do it.  Some days I just go home and lay on the couch.  I am sure this time will pass.

Well-better go.

Hate seeing

that weight graph go up!!  I finally put in my correct weight today.  I have had some rough times the last few weeks and it goes up one week and down the next..  I am so glad to still have JC to weigh in at on Thursday.  I think it helps keep me in check to come degree.

Well WI is thursday afternoon. I am looking for about a pound off. 

There is just so much on my mind that I have been doing some mindless eating.  Most of it is when I am by meself.  Old habits are coming back, not full force but just something that I need to be aware of.  My JCC said to me last week "this is not like you, we need to figure this out and get you back on the right track"  So she is in my corner and wanting this for me as well.
