So far the scale is being nice to me. But I have two tuff days ahead of me Sunday in-laws are coming off but they shouldnt be here to late afternoon which means we will probably be eating dinner out. I think I will do ok. More concerned with Disney. I know I will have lots of walking to my activity on Monday but their food is just not healthy. And plus if we are finally going to get to go I am going to enjoy myself and not worry about trying to eat salads. But I do intend to stick to my counting points. I'm going to bring my WW book with me. So I can at least get a general idea of what Im eating. It amazes me how some resteraunts can cook something and it can be soo much more calories than if you ate it at other resteraunts. The only thing I'm not too stressed about on Monday is the fact that the aunt and grandmother arent much for riding rides and going a lot of places so that means I will get to hand DD off to them sometimes. Prefferably when she's cranky. But seriously, I've changed my outlook on the trip and now the only thing I'm a little worried about is the chaoticness of it all. They arent the type of people who plan where there going or what time there leaving. Which it is a vacation land but you have to have some type of land to get through Disney. As it stands now I think we will be headed to Animal Kingdom. I've never been there so I'm super excited about that. I havent been to any part of Disney in about 10 or 11 years. SO we'll see what its like to have a baby on board now. I cant wait until she gets a little bit older so she'll be able to really enjoy all the things she can do there. But with all the animals it should be fun until she gets tired. She's not one for sleeping in her stroller so we'll see how that goes. Anyways that it. Just relaxing and watching point until then. Obtw... since I'm going to Disney on Monday I dont know if I'll hav etime to weigh in or not. Because I dont know how early we are leaving yet and how much time I'll have before we leave. But if you dont hear from me I'll be back on tuesday. Take care.
So today was the first day I got on the scale and it went down after I had an ice cream with m&M's all flex points counted and well worth every bite. And I was only down like two ounces but darn soo soo good. Sorry I've still been slow on blogging I'm just extreemly tired all the time. I havent worked out as hard since Monday because I got one of those darn rashes on my legs that hurt. But I've still been doing my videos, DD swim lessons, and wii fitt. Monday we are suppos to go to Disney. I think Animal Kingdom not sure though. To be honest I've been wanting to go to Disney forever. But not with my inlaws. It's going to be so stressful. The good thing is though that we will get to see DH cousins who are 10 and 13 and they are the sweetest kids. THere parents moved them up to Colorado because of similar problems that I have with the in-laws. Just 13 more years added on to what I have. I really wish they still lived down there because it would make it less stressful to go to Ft. Lauderdale. But I cant say I blame them. That's all I really have for now. They get in on Sunday so until then just more activity with DD and sleep when I find time. Hope everyone is good and I'll catch up with ya'll tommorow morning.
No.. I didnt dissapear again. Just making the most of my time I guess you could say. Which means I'm really really exhausted. Yesterday was the first day of our challenge and I did super. I ate 23 points (allowed 26) and I went to the gym for 90 minutes burnt 715 calories there, then spent 30 minutes giving DD swimming lessons so that was very light activity, and then I went grocery shopping which took two hours... not by choice. DD was just being fidgety. Then I came home. Cooked dinner. Saved the cat from DD trying to "give it water" (drown it) Then I did an hour on wii and my 25 minute work out video. Since this challenge. I've kind of started on scratch I've been on track since last wensday but I retook my measurements, and counted my slim in 6 as day one. That way I have no reason not to stay on track. Then today I ran some errands took a break from the gym because I was really sore today..hmm, I wonder why? lol But I did take DD to the Y for her 30 minute swim lesson. Then came home took a much needed nap. Cooked dinner, and then again did an hour of wii and my workout video and now here I am. Still sore, clean, and exhausted. But I am just so proud of these last two days I just had to share. The swim lessons are only for two weeks and then I'll be back to my normal schedule of three times a week at the gym. Thats about it though. I hope all is well and take care.
I dont go to weekly weigh ins. Never have. I picked it up from my mom. My question is. Is it better to count your activity points for the day or count flex points and just leave your activity points out of it? Any help would be appreciated.
1.) Do slim in 6 everyday- I keep trying and trying to do this challenge. Six weeks everyday and taking measurements. So this will be done everday of the month of June.
2.) Take measurements every week- To see any changes from the slim in 6 and other activites.
3.) make sure house stays clean- I know this sounds weird but when I keep up with my house I keep up with my exercise routine.
4.) Go to gym at least 3 days a week.
5.) Play wii fit for an hour everyday.- love love love my wii fit. Worth every penny. It's so much fun and it does get you sweating.
6.)Drink at least 60 ounces of water every day.
7.)Track everything.
8.) Dont slack.- as I've learned reacently its easier to stay on track than to slack off. Plus its not worth ruining the progress I've already made.
9.) Lose 10lbs by end of this month.- I know it's kind of steep but I'm hoping some of the weight I gained back will be easier to fall off. But if not it's just a goal and not manditory. It gives me something to aim towards.
So I've been looking forward to the weekend because I knew that this is when I was going to sit down officially start fresh with ep and blogging and catching up with everyone. DD is at my moms so I have the time to sit and concentrate. Not sure if it's needed but I'd like to catch everyone up on some of the reasons I've been missing. First off, there's a lot of members that I wrote regulary that no longer write or dont get on that often. I didnt realize how much of a support this was for me because once I felt like everyone was drifting and not coming on anymore I decided I didnt want to either. I also noticed that because I wasnt coming out here pouring out my feeling my eating habits progressed. i was still going to the gym and kicking butt. Sometime burning 700 calories in 70 minutes. But theres no reason for me to do it if I'm not going to keep up the eating habits. So needless to say the scale did not change. Then memorial weekend came around and we made and unplanned trip to Ft. Lauderdale because DH had told them months back that we would go. Even though we had gone like two weeks ago but whatever. And it just seemed like after slowly loosing focus on what I was trying to do I just completley got lost. I couldnt catch up with everything and I couldnt stay commited. I would be so good one day but horrible the next. So my weight elevated quickly. And then I got even more depressed because it took so long to take it off and so quickly to put it back on. So the last time I weighed myself I was 203 and I havent checked since then. There is a six week challenge I want to join though so that might change soon. I've just been focusing on staying on point. I've changed my goal weight to October 13. My daughter's birthday. I put it at this date because the weight gain mainly came with the pregnancy of my daugther so to get it off before her birthday would be a great victory for me I believe. This date finally had a meaning compared to my birthday or in-laws. And its also a resonable amount of time so that I wont feel so challenged.Anyways, I'm back on Flex Plan. The Wendi's plan is good but right now I need more restriction once I get use to that and hit a plateau I will probably go back to Wendi's because that's what it was meant for in the first place. 3 days straight so far I've been counting every point(calorie). I'm still counting calories too but instead I'm allowing my calories to be as high as my pt allowance. Which is about 1300 right now. Some days its just easier for me to count calories. So that's it that why I drifted and why I faltered and why I'm back. Everyone here truley helps me stay grounded and shows me the brighter side. Things are officially look up and I have high hopes for my journey here on out. So sorry to my ep friends that were still here and I can guarantee you that you will see more of me. Obtw.. I started doing my slim in 6 videos again. I have 3 days straight on that as well. Sunday morning I will catch up with all of you but for now I will write down my June goals and go to bed. Take care everyone.
sorry everyone. I got caught up in daily life and let it take over again. I'm on a constant struggle with not only weight but being organized and managing time for everything and well I havent mastered it yet. i have been on track for a week and a half yet but I am back up to 200. :( Hopefully it'll come off quickly. I do so good and then I just stopped. This is just a quick note. I'll be back on track soon. I also neglected my myspace friends from back home so I'm having to catch up with them as well. I just neglected the computer all together. I'm going to get this promise. It's just hard. So please be patient with me. I promise I'll get the ball rolling again. Just need a few days.
Sorry I didnt post last night. TOM still hasnt arrived yet.. he's making me nervous. Anyways, if he is lurking then it would explain my absence yesterday. I went to the gym and started mmy C25K training again. I've decided to go at my own place and just fill comfortable. I am also training on the treadmill with inclines that way I can get use to hills as much as possible. But anyways, I think that explains my passing out really early. But before I did I managed to get in my Slim in 6 like I promised myself. And I dont have much time tonight so I am going to have to go burn all my extra indulgence off now for the rest of the night. But that does mean I'll get my slim in 6 tonight as well. So I've been on track and I'm making up for my mistakes. I will catch up with all of you tommorow. But just letting everyone know that I'm really doing this and I'm correcting anything that I might eat wrongly. Take care.
It's so hard to get back into the groove of all this again. Today was the first full day of being back on track. I've even started the twelve week challenge and I'm starting my slim in 6 videos today too. I've never done them everyday for six weeks straight to see if there really is a difference. So I'm hopeing that this will keep me on my p's and q's so I can get back into things.Thank you for those who commented about the meat market experience. It really does blow my mind about things like that especially since the guys at the meat market wear bloody aprons. We go hunting with a guide so the pre-processing is done with them. Since I use to want to be a doctor I did take some courses in college like anatomy & physiology. So there are a lot of parts I can put up with when they are doing everything that needs to be done before the meat market. But their are still some parts that do still bother me. Which is why I'm glad they do it. The meat is healthier because the meat is wild and doesnt have any chemicals to make it look fresher. And it's just a theory but it might even be healthier than organic meat just because they are wild. So it does have a lot of health benefits. But most of the people that judge it havent tried it. So I guess a lot of it may fear of the unknown. Anyways, back to weight stuff. I have made a notebook that shows the points allowed for the day and also the maxium calories for the day. So I guess you could say I'm kinda back on weight watchers. But figuring out the calories is what helped me kind of go back on it because most of the time the calories are easier to count. But this notebook is really going to be helpfull. I've tried it out last week but since I had a horrible weekend I'm not counting it. So here's to getting back on track. I wish I could say its going to be a breeze but for the next few weeks I"m really going to have to focus. By the way, where has everyone gone? Tanyamami and Brelee both live in the same state and have both been gone around the same general time. I was just making sure no one heard in weather related problems in that area? It's not like them to be missing.Anyho, off to check on ya'll
and I'm not talking about the ice cream! I've been non-exsitent here but I have been on plan. Except for about two days ago and on. Thursday I was just foolish and wasnt really telling myself no. Friday DH planned a hunting trip so we droped DD off at my parents and left yesterday afternoon for about a two hour drive to three hour drive to stay at a local hotel. Well, I hadnt eatin anything that day so at about three or four I was starving. So we went to a local resteraunt and I figured I'd indulge. We only hunt twice a year. I ordered my favorite, nacho's with cheese and jalopenos. I heart jalopenos even though I dont know how to spell that word. It was so beautiful I almost didnt want to eat it. All the food was fresh and instead of using canned jalopenos. They sliced them fresh which made them extra hot. And the portion size was even good. But still something like that, you just cant really eat when your on a diet. And although I cannot find the exact calories I know I was over my points. Then today we got up got breakfast(bad breakfast sandwich calories, and then on the way home after hunting we stoped at another fast food resteraunt. So I'm sure I just topped my points for today. I'm skipping the hunting part because although I enjoy it I know many people dont. So just know it was very enjoyable. Anyways, on the way home we stopped to process our hunt and it blows my mind how some people stare. Vegetarian or Vegan.... ok I get it. But people at a meat market buying raw meat looking at us like we are horrible people I just dont understand. It kind of makes me laugh but irratates me at the same time. Anyways, thats all for tonight. Back on plan tommorow. I plan on being on here more. I really do love ya'll and sorry I've been so distant. Just havent been in the mood to be on the computer that much latley but I really do need the support you all offer. So I'm going to be checking up on as much people as possible. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Oh btw... it might not help that TOM is due tommorow. And I've been running around like a pregnant woman looking for food. lol Soooo.. hopefully it will get better.

That's all I really have for now. They get in on Sunday so until then just more activity with DD and sleep when I find time. Hope everyone is good and I'll catch up with ya'll tommorow morning.
But that does mean I'll get my slim in 6 tonight as well. So I've been on track and I'm making up for my mistakes.
