Well, I'm already down between 2 and 4 pounds depending on which weigh-in I use (first of the day BAN weigh-in or before bed at night clothed weigh-in). So, I'm definitely back on the right track. I went to a baby shower tonight and I didn't eat anything at all except my JC lemon cake that I took with me!! I was so freakin' proud of myself!
Well, after a week of bad choices (and gaining 1 pound!) I'm back on track today.
I went to the beach last weekend, and I really tried to stay on plan but I messed up a few times! Then this week was our first week back at work, and we went out as a grade level one day, my principal made lunch for us another day.... Well, let's just say that I was pleased that it was only 1 pound gained when I weighed in yesterday.
But I'm determined to get back on track. I signed up for the lifetime plan on JC (my 6 weeks is up next week) and I am devoted again. I've got to get my butt up and move it, but for now I'm just going to focus on getting back on plan and setting a new routine.
So, I lost 2.6 this week for a total of 15.8!!! I'm well on my way to my goal! :)
We are on our way to the beach for a long weekend before school starts for me on Monday! Wish me luck staying on program at the beach!
Woo Hoo...It was down this morning. Only half a pound, but still... down is down!! I hope this is a trend! I've got 6.8 more pounds to lose in the next 3 weeks to make my goal of 20 pounds in the first six weeks. I can do it!!!!
So, my Mexican fiesta on Thursday has caught up with me. My weight is fluctuating between the weight I was Thursday morning & the weight I was at JC. I haven't seen it go down yet this week. It really is okay. I knew this would happen. I've got 4 more days to get it down some more. A lot can happen in 4 days.
Today we went to see No Reservations. Another movie day with no popcorn!!! I just stood in the lobby and smelled for a while before I ordered my diet coke. Hey, no calories in smelling, right? There was all this food in the movie (cute movie, btw!! Adorable guy!) And it was definitely appetizing to watch but, amazingly enough, I was happy to go home to my JC fajitas. Normally I would be really upset about not going out to dinner, but it was okay. (only momentary pangs...)
What I'm really nervous about is next weekend. We're going to the beach. My kids' daycare teacher is getting married on the beach in Charleston, SC. We had to stay in the hotel where she's getting married, so we couldn't even stay somewhere with a kitchen. It's going to be really hard to stay on plan. I'm hoping beyond hope that there will be a microwave in the room, but barring that, that there will be one somewhere in the hotel that I can use. If not, there aren't very many JC meals that I can eat (basically, chicken or tuna salad, I think...) Any suggestions?
So, I lost 3.8 according to the JC scale. Of course, it was 4.8 according to my scale this morning. (and 5.8 BAN first thing this morning.) I need to be happy. 13 pounds in 3 weeks is great! And my goal weight is actually less than 100 pounds away. That's a big deal too. I guess I'm just impatient because I've been down this road before. 2 years ago I lost 40-something pounds on Weight Watchers and was down in the 250's (before that it was probably college since I'd been that small.) I've obviously put it all back on (less 10 pounds, I believe) so I guess my believing that this is a real change isn't quite there yet.
Of course, then I had to go and cheat. And this time I cheated big. But I'm just not going to think about it. I'm going to get back in the saddle and make myself focus on this time...not last time! I am making a real change in my thinking this time, and I'm determined to get it right!
So I sent my children away with my mother in law for a week. They're thrilled because the inlaws live on a farm, and I'm thrilled because I have a little silence! I had my niece for the weekend since she was going to the farm too, and the three of them just about drove me insane! My two fight over her, of course, and the whining and wailing was just non stop. But they're gone now and I'm taking time to enjoy the silence.
As for weight, I'm doing okay. The night my MIL was here was the worst. They cooked hamburger on the grill, and I had JC beef & rice. It was awful!! (I HATE barbeque.) It was one of probably 3 things on JC that I've truly hated. It was the hardest thing in the world not to just bite into one of those juicy cheeseburgers!! But I didn't, and there is a pretty happy number on the scale. Of course, I hate the way the scale changes throughout the day. Why can't that very first BAN (bare a-- nekkid) number be the official number?? I'm really considering just counting it. Who said that the JC scale has to be the official number? And I really like that number that was on my scale this morning. Hang on... nope, not there anymore. But I do have on jeans, so that's probably the 1.5 that it's changed, right? All together, now, chanting: it's just a number...it's just a number...what matters is my health...
Batten down the hatches...bar the door...kids don't bother me... My book is here!! Happy Harry Potter Day take two! :)
So, my kids & DH ordered Papa John's tonight. Normally I would have eaten half a pizza. I roasted cauliflower before the pizza arrived and ate it so I wouldn't be so hungry while my dinner cooked. Then I covered the JC rising crust pizza with mushrooms & banana peppers and then baked it. It was yummy!! I'm really full & I never even touched the Papa John's!!
I can't believe that there's pizza in my kitchen and I have no desire to go binge on it. Makes up for the sushi!
Well, my new scale is close to right. I lost 4.4 for a total of 9.4. I *really* wanted to lost 10 in the first 2 weeks, so I was a little disappointed. But I know that that's a really good number.
Of course, yesterday, I went crazy at the grocery store and bought sushi. It was just a big ol' cheat-- vegetable rolls and California rolls. I don't know why I did it except that they were just good! I guess I was rewarding myself with food which I know is not the best idea! But I got right back on plan last night and now today's a new week, right?
