First off, today was weigh in day. I am up 2 pounds (back in the 170's, yuck) but I was prepared for it so i wasnt too upset over it. I'm back on track today so im hoping for a big loss this week. My goals for this week are to journal everyday, workout 5 hours a week (not including my yoga class twice a week cuz it is too easy I hardly burn any calories doing it), and to lose 3 lbs.
secondly, my Favorite FAVORITE FAVORITE thing ever is bubble milk tea. I was craving one today so I got one after I went to the gym as a reward (I am trying to not reward myself with food, but I also dont think you should ignore your cravings so you might as well do something good for yourself before you indulge right?) Anyways, I was being a good girl and journaling all my food and I couldnt even make an educated guess on how many calories would be in a bubble tea. I went on calorieking.com and looked it up and for 12 oz it is 335 calories and 19 grams of fat! I couldn't even believe it, that is 8 points for a drink! It just makes me so sad to know that lol. Luckily for me, i only had a 4 point dinner so it all worked out fine.
wow so these past 3 days have been crazy! I had a housewarming party (more like a crazy house party), 2 birthday parties, and one super bowl party to go to in 3 days. That means a lot of beer, a lot of vodka-cranberries, a lot of wine, and A LOT of food (that I didnt journal either ). Actually, I probably would have done a lot worse with the food if it wasnt for the fact that I dont eat meat so that is actually kind of good. I did actually make it to the gym today though AND I did lots of ON DEMAND work outs after dinner so I am pretty proud of myself for that. I've been drinking all of my water (which was my goal for this week) so that is really good too. I weigh myself tomorrow and I am expecting a gain, I just hope it's not too too much cuz i still want to aim for my goal of 166 (10 lbs down) by valentines day.

I was craving chocolate today.... I am not the biggest chocolate fan (im not gonna say I dont like it, but i would usually pick a different flavor before it ya know) but today all I kept thinking about was chocolate. I had a 3 hour class today and I was totally zoning out by the end of it and I swear I thought I heard my teacher say "chocolate chips" twice lol. Anyways, when I got home I ended up making some hot chocolate... I used 8 oz nonfat milk, about 2 tbs cocoa powder, 2 splendas, some expresso powder, and a little vanilla. I know the milk is 2 points and everything else is 0 except for the cocoa powder.... I dont think it should be very much, probably only 1 point but im just gonna count it as another 2 just in case.

today was a super long day, I dont really have much to say but im just finishing up my last 2 glasses of water for today, which makes a total of 8... I had to force myself to do it but i did so im happy about that.
yay yay yay yay yay! happy day for me. I went to the gym today and decided to face the scale, I was so scared because I was almost positive I was going to gain weight, but i actually lost 2 lbs! I was so excited, I stepped on the scale like 3 times just to make sure it was right. Last week when I thought I did sooooo good and I worked out sooo much and I didnt lose anything, and then this week I thought I did horrible and then I dropped weight... gosh my body is crazy. I really think I just focused on the negative this week and didnt look at all my good choices I made and I really second guessed myself. Anyway, I have lots of things to improve but I know I am (in general) being a lot better to myself then I use to be and I am happy.
I am only making 2 goals for this week so I can really focus on them, especially the first one since I havnt been able to do it the past 2 weeks.
hey guys, i'm really struggling with my healthy eating habits and going to the gym (I went, but not for very long) the past 3 days. I've used more than my 35 flexi points and my weigh in is on tuesday! I'm gonna try to go to the gym tomorrow for a 2 hour cardio session and try to stick to just my 22 points a day. I'm actually preparing myself to see a gain this week but I am going to try my hardest to make sure to keep it to a minimum and if I stay the same I will be pleasantly surprised.
Alright, so in my last post I told ya'll that I havnt been journaling the last few days and that I would start tomorrow.... but I mean HELLO, if I think hard enough I can remember what I ate, so I should fess up to it now instead of thinking that just because I didnt write it down then it didnt happen. AND I fibbed when I said "I havnt been that bad"... because I know I ate a lot of points, but looking at what I ate at the party I went to or when I went to breakfast this morning compared to what I would have ate 6 months ago.... it is a BIG improvement, so i'm actually kind of proud of myself.

I havnt been journaling, but at least im on here journaling that i havnt been journaling lol. Anyway, I havnt been too too bad the past two days, and ive been working out, but im probably doing worse then I think since I havnt been keeping track. Im starting that again tomorrow.
Alright, so I guess my mom stole my idea of making mac and cheese, cuz when i went into the kitchen this morning I saw a big caserol dish of it... and im like "hey, wait a minute, i left all the leftovers at ryan's house for a reason! so i wouldnt eat anymore of it!" Anyway, needless to say.... I had a bowl of it for breakfast! well breakfast/lunch actually, so i feel just a little better about it lol. I am guessing i ate about 15 points worth of it (i didnt eat that much, but with all the butter and cheese I know it is up there) so that means that i only have 7 points left for today! I have a party to go to tonight (serving finger food and desserts) so I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for eating, so these are my options, tell me what you think i should do
Eat a 7 point dinner before and dont eat anything at the party. Pros- sometimes it is easier to not eat anything then to control yourself and only eat a tiny amount of something. Cons- if i cant control myself, even if it is something pretty small, i'll be way over my points
Eat a 4-5 point dinner and treat myself to something very small at the party. Pros- i'll get to eat at the party but i'll have a meal in my belly so im less likely to overeat. Cons- i'll go over my points and it will be hard to limit myself
Don't eat, eat a few little things at the party. Pros- i'll have more points to eat. Cons- i'll go over my points, it will be hard to limit myself
Basicly, any way i go i'll go over my points, im just trying to think of a way to keep it to a minimum. Well i'm off to the gym :)
So basicly i've had an emotionally and physically bad past few days. But I feel like i'm coping with it in a weird sort of way. Two days ago (my last post), i had an "i had a bad day so i am just IRRATE" kind of day, yesterday was "i am so frustrated I am going to cry" and today was more like a "i had a bad day but it takes too much effort to even care right now". See- so i kinda feel like it's getting better--- kinda lol. Anyway I didnt get a very good sleep last night, some freak-a-zoid prank called me at like 6 in the morning, i was freezing my toosh off (i seriously felt like it was going to snow on me), i am still getting use to going back to school, i fell in a puddle right before my yoga class, and i got lost for an hour commuting on the way home.... so basicly by 3 o'clock today i was just so DONE. I was planning on working out after yoga (which is a joke by the way... maybe it will get a little bit harder, but i really feel like i didnt do anything) but like i said, I was just so DONE. Ryan wanted my mac and cheese for dinner and I didnt even have the will power to say no so I made that.... and brownies (talk about comfort food!). I only had one small brownie and 1 cup of mac and cheese so i didnt go too too far over my points, but i really want to get serious about my eating and working out starting tomorrow.
). Actually, I probably would have done a lot worse with the food if it wasnt for the fact that I dont eat meat so that is actually kind of good. I did actually make it to the gym today though AND I did lots of ON DEMAND work outs after dinner so I am pretty proud of myself for that. I've been drinking all of my water (which was my goal for this week) so that is really good too. I weigh myself tomorrow and I am expecting a gain, I just hope it's not too too much cuz i still want to aim for my goal of 166 (10 lbs down) by valentines day.
