*Sigh* I have been doing horribly lately - and it shows, as I am up to 168 (post Thanksgiving). My 3 months of WW was up and since I usually do horribly on the weekends (my own fault) I haven't really lost any weight. I cancelled my account because I figured there wasn't any point in paying for it if I wasn't losing anything (and like I said, it's my fault, not the program's; I've been having trouble following it)
However, not paying for the plan = free for all, so I've decided to buy one more month on WW and try to stay on track this time. I am really, really going to try this time! I have no idea why I can't seem to stay on track... maybe because for once I'm not really doing a "diet" like I was before; I'm still allowed to eat whatever I want (theoretically, within my points) so maybe that's why it's harder to stay on track? Who knows. I'm kind of mad at myself though, it's not THAT hard, so why can't I do it??
Oh well, here's to my 2nd try. Hopefully I will be successful this time!
So, after getting back down to 161.9 my fat behind had to overeat enough to gain 2.5 back. =( I pretty much went for a free-for-all this week; it's so hard when I work every night (so no time for dinner at home) and I work for a catering department. Catering food = amazing (and bad for you) food; and I can't seem to pass it up. Especially not the desserts! I totally realize that I'm making excuses too; I guess lately I've been lacking motivation and have gotten tired of dieting.
That said, this week I am going to try and stay on track as much as possible. I'm setting a new goal for myself: be 155 by the time I graduate (in 5 1/2 weeks). I'll take anything close to that too ha. That's about 10 pounds, I totally think it's doable! And like I said, I'll be happy with anything under 160.
So sadly, as my title infers, I am up 6 pound since my last weigh-in. I have a week of vacation in Southern California to thank for that (and the fact that my dad, who is out there working right now, gets almost $70 a day from his company for food). We ate soooooo badly (I mean, it tasted good, but SUPER bad for the diet). Not going to lie, I totally expected the 6 pounds - I definitly ate it! I will admit though that I am disappointed in myself for eating so badly because now I'm pretty much exactly where I started when I started WW over a month ago. That's okay though; my roomie and I just went grocery shopping and we don't have many bad things to eat in the house. Hopefully I've gotten all those fat-filled foods out of my system... it's back to being on track!
So I'm still going (pretty) strong on WW =) Last weigh in I was 159.7, which is exciting! I'm still losing, so that's good to know. I always feel guilty using my anytime points BUT they are there, so they are meant to be eaten right? haha.. I haven't been exercising at all though... This week I have two big projects due Friday AND I was schedueled to work every day, some days twice! Plus now I have to tutor also, so I really have two jobs. Besides that I'm getting sick (ugh.. I just ate dinner and couldn't taste any of it because I'm so stuffy!) so all together, there is NO time for me to exercise. I'm hoping next week I can get in some; even an hour walk is nice but I've been working every moment of the day. That's college for you though! Other than that everything is going good; in a few weeks I'm going to visit my dad in California, so I'm glad I have that to look forward to (and we're going to the grocery store when I get there so I can buy good food for WW!)
So tomorrow is my 2nd weigh in day! I'm pretty excited; minus yesterday I've been doing great with using my alloted points =) Yesterday was HORRIBLE though, I went home for my little sister's birthday. My mom knows I'm on a diet but she has that "it's just one day, you can eat what you want" mentality. She brought us all McDonalds for breakfast and got me the BIG BREAKFAST... that's 18 points just right there!!! I couldn't not eat it (plus, not going to lie... I wanted it ha) but that did majorly ruin my day. I was planning on eating a small breakfast and lunch to plan for dinner and cake, but after breakfast I just gave up completely for the day. We had ice cream cake AND regular cake, plus Chinese food for dinner.. I don't even want to THINK about how many points I ate.
But anyways, besides that I've been doing great. That has been my only relapse day and hopefully I will still see some results tomorrow morning. Last week I weighed 162.5. I'll be happy even if I stay the same but hopefully it will be less!
Today is my first officialy day of WW! I'm really excited to do it too, I can't wait to eat lunch and then enter it into the tracker hah. My starting weight is 166 and my goal is 145. I hope I can do better with this than I have been doing w/ my low carb diet, but I'm sure I can! =)
Wow, it's been a while! I've been working all summer in the Pocono Mountains at an environmental education center (living and working) and since it's an environmental center AND in the middle of nowhere, we had no cell phone service, no cable, and limited internet (ha)
Yesterday I weighed myself when I got home from moving out of PEEC and I weighed 164.8 - crappy if I compare it to what I weighed in April, but not too bad considering I ate really bad at PEEC (the environmental center) I also hiked and walked a lot, so some of that extra weight might be muscle, but I totally admit that some of it was just me ha eating poorly.
Now I'm back though, and school starts next week. I'm definitly ready to step it up again and get back on track! I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off from class this semester, so I'm totally going to go to the gym for a while on those days and attempt to go other days also. I'm also thinking of trying Weight Watchers Online with the roomie, because I haven't been getting anywhere with my current diet. I think WW would better suit my eating styles anyways, rather than low carb. Who knows though, we'll see!
So I weighed myself this morning and the scale said 156.8! That is insane! This weekend I did HORRIBLE... went to Sonic on Friday, went to this realllly nice restaurant on Saturday with the boyfriend (we ate so much ha) and well, yesterday wasn't that great either ha. I was totally expecting a gain, but a loss?? This is weird... I eat more than usual and I lose! Maybe it's because I've been at a plateau for so long? Not sure. It's back to eating better for me today though, either way!
Geez, I haven't updated in a while! Probably because I'm still stuck at my plateau and I haven't gained or lost anything... oh well. This week was spring break, and I ate so horribly... but so far (*crosses fingers*) I haven't gained anything. I'm back at school again though, so it's back to eating better! It doesn't help that at home I get so bored... so I eat a lot. Oh well. Maybe this week I can make some progress. I'll weigh in tomorrow morning to see what the damage from this week is, haha.
After being sick for over a week, I am finally getting better! Wohoo! :) I was sooooo sick earlier... I ended up getting a sinus infection (yuk) but I got antibiotics for it so it's all good!
I've been pretty stable on the weight front though... I'll have to weigh myself tomorrow morning and see. I've been doing ooookay this week, not great though. So far today I've been good though, breakfast and lunch = 400 calories, 43 carbs. Not sure what I will be eating for dinner though.
This weekend will not be good either ha... It's my birthday this weekend (horray) so of course I have to eat the cake and ice cream, and my mom is making me dinner (quesadillas... yummm. But so bad for you haha). I'll probably gain some weight from it, but I don't even care! It's my birthday :)
