Today was T's weigh in and he lost 2 pounds, I'm having a big smile!!! (This is one of the reasons though) My weight is the same, I will update my chart tomorrow. It's actually not 157, it's 158. something...
I'm trying to follow ww too, and counting points. I realized though, that I eat way too much. I'm supposed to eat 23 and there are days when I eat 27, one day I had like 36! So, this is helping me to see in paper how much I over eat.
I've noticed too that when I'm stressed out I tend to eat more. I don't even think, and put something in my mouth to munch. But I'm trying to pay attention to what I feel, and control it. I'm trying to eat slower too and enjoy more the taste of the food.
And I wanted to mention that these past two days have been very interesting. I'm so happy for this country, and I know many positive things are going to happen :D. The world is so happy about this!!!
Well I'm going to start doing my project... final day is approaching... Too much to do!
My weight yesterday was 157.8 and T's was 258.8, he is still losing. I hope he loses some this week too, if no, he'll be very disappointed. I told him already that he needs to work out in order to lose faster, besides, I want him to be healthy.
I've been up today since 3am? I don't really know exactly. I got up at 4:15am to take a shower since today I had to come to school, and here I am.
I had a hard weekend, and I'm having a hard week, stress is all around me. But I know things will get better. My mom's dad died on Saturday and I'm so sad about that. I couldn't say bye to him, or I had not talked to him in very long which makes me so sad. Makes me sad that I won't see him again or talk to him... I'm going to miss him. I really wish he is not in pain anymore and he is resting in peace.
I think I will make chicken with 2 cups of whole wheat pasta for us. We will have a late dinner though, and we will be so tired after a long day driving all the way to school, and then back home. I hope all this ends soon, I'm so tired and stressed out.
T lost 5.2 pounds in his first week of WW!!! I'm very happy for him .
What about me? I've no idea. I will log my weight tomorrow and see what it is. I think I might have put on two or one pound... sigh... I know, I know, I need to move my butt and start working out!!!! I know this is not a valid excuse, as all of them are not valid, but there is no room in the house to work out. I can't even walk! But that's another whole story, I just can tell you, I SO HATE CLUTTER! I like to throw things away or donate them when they are not used anymore, but others don't...
Anyway, tonight we are going to eat out, I'm not sure yet where, so I have to see what I'm going to eat. I guess it will be a salad with no dressing, that's why I don't like eating out. Everything is high in calories and I end up eating very little or not too good.
Ok, I'll go back to school work that's driving me nuts!!!! Have a nice Friday!
Yessssss!! He is losing weight! I'm so happy and proud of him . And with him I'm losing a little too, not too much though (because I need to work out!!!! and I'm not doing it as much as I want.)
Last night we went to his dad's and we ate a Mexican dish. It was very yummy but full of cheese, and ground beef. I probably had a cup and T had 2 cups, maybe. But still he lost one more pound, yayyyyyyyy!!!
I did some abs and weights for my arms, that's all.
Today I'm at my moms, (saves 30 mins. commute to school) and she said that my face looks thinner. That's good I think, as long as I don't look too too old, you know, you lose weight and your face can look so bony as if you were sick, I don't like that.
Well, going to start my work again! Review day: Nov. 18th.... I need to finish this project a week before the review and start preparing for it... I'm nervous . I've one more semester till I can "apply" for Theses...
(DH)T started WW last Wednesday and he has lost (so far), according to our scale, 6 or 4 pounds. The WW scale adds closet to 9 pounds, but he went to his meeting at lunch time, wearing jeans, and his shoes, so I guess that's what adds the weight.
But anyway, I'm very happy with his efforts in losing weight. He is counting his points, and gets stressed out when he can't figure out how many points has wedding cake. So cute.
We went to a wedding on Sat. and he ate four meatballs (among other foods), and the WW book said it was close to 8 or 12 points??? I didn't think it was that many, but yeah, it's sort of confusing sometimes to figure out how many points a meal has. He also ate, brisket, two slices of cake which are 19 points, I think. And I told him that to me it was craaaazy!! to eat that little and have so many points already. He can eat 40 points while I can eat only 23 , that's why I starve all the time I try to do WW.
But he did ok, he counted his points and tried to stick to his plan. Then on Sun. we went for lunch for his birthday. Poor thing ate only two bites of a free cheesecake (thank goodness I don't like cheesecake or meatball or brisket), and he gave the rest to his dad. I'm so proud of him.
As for me.. well, I'm doing this with him. I do want to lose 20 something pounds, and let's see if we can do this together. It's easy to do it with him, we both try to count and eat on plan, so that's awesome!
Now he knows he has to add exercise to lose faster or eat more, hehe, he told me, I see myself working out just because I would like to eat more. Let's see what happens.
I hope he loses some weight by WI, he told me he will be so dissapointed if he doesn's lose or loses too little. I told him even 2 pounds is good, 2 pounds a month will be 8 pounds, that's a lot!
Wellm I'll post later, I need to start my work....
Yes, my sweetie, T (DH) has joined WW!!! Yay!!!! I'm sure he will lose the weight he needs, and it will be a motivation for me too. I hate counting points but I guess if we do it together, it'll be easy.
Thurs. is his first meeting... he knows how many points, just in soda, he had today... 20!!!
Well, going back to my project, is driving me nuts!!!! I won't sleep tonight....
So this semester is about to finish soon and my work is still behind. Procrastination is not good for you, you know??? I'm so overwhelmed by all I have to finish for this week.
School, as you can see, is driving me nuts. I don't have too much time for anything else, so I haven't ran this week... I miss it, although I did abs yesterday. I felt like a balloon! so I needed to do something at least.
Went to the doctor on Thurs. and my weight was 163, with clothes, jeans, a sweater, etc., so it wasn't that bad. The nurse said too that my blood pressure was perfect, yay!
I haven't weighed this week yet... did I? I don't remember. It might be 160 - 163, I hope, I do not want to see that 166 again!
I've a question though. The day I went to the dr. I forgot to ask her if the birth control I take can make me more irritable, or make me cry for almost everything! I know that I'm pmsing this week, but still...I can't even do my school work because I feel like crap, mentally. Yeah, I'm having some problems, but who has no problems in their lives? Thats what T always tell me. Anyways, that was my question, I'm taking Tri-Sprintec... so if you know, what do you think?
Have a good weekend, enjoy it!!!!! (since I'm going to be inside a house doing school work
Thank you, first of all, for commenting about my pictures. Thank you girls for the sweet words !!!
Oh my gosh... not working out and not watching what I eat made me put on weight, obviously!!!! I'm 166 as of today. I don't like scales. On Monday I was 160, this is T's scale, and today I stepped on my mom's scale and I was 166. I don't know if 166 is my weight, maybe it is, but I don't feel that big. Some people say though, that when you put on weight, you don't notice. I feel slimmer than a 166, I feel 163 probably... sigh, I'm in denial.
I don't know if her scale is broken, which I doubt, but seeing 166 is not fun. Makes me want to cry... all the hard work, before the wedding of course, for this.
To be honest, I get tired of watching carefully what I eat, I want to be able to eat junk sometimes without stressing out, and that's what I've been doing, eating junk. I know chips have nothing good for my body, but they are so yummy! I know that if I eat 12 of them or so, it won't make me fat. But of course I can't stop eating 12, I have to eat a bunch of them, and that's what is making me fat. I can't control myself. Maybe I can if I want but is very hard for me.
I don't want to do weight watchers for now as I don't want to count points, I hate that, and is so stressing. I don't want to count calories either, that's even worse than counting points for me. And I'm not so sure of starting South Beach again. I want in a way because it tastes good and makes me lose weight but I want to eat my fruits, and you can't for the first 2 weeks. And what's the point of dieting for 2 weeks and then start eating like crazy again. I know that I need to change the way I see food.
I still can't figure out why I eat so much some times. I don't eat that bad either. When I go to restaurants I try to eat healthy, a salad, with little or no dressings, etc. But I do eat too much when I'm at home. I try not to have desserts or chips at the house, otherwise I will be stuffing myself with them.
I went for a one hour run-walk yesterday. It felt nice, the weather was nice, not super hot, and under there was a nice breeze the shadows. I can't go to a gym for now, and going outside is nice, I like it. The problem is, I can't go too often. As I said, where I live is sort of isolated, very country, and kinda scares me to run by myself, but when I'm at my mom's I can go outside with no problems. Yesterday I was at my moms that's why I could go for a run.
So that's the problem I guess. I should watch what I eat and work out often. WORK OUT OFTEN!!!!!!!!! I shouldn't make up excuses to not work out. I feel lazy sometimes though, ugh... I do want to look good. It's very hard to lose those last 20 pounds... I've been doing this since I was like 20, come on!!!
Too much to do!
