118.6! Yay! That's a 1.6 pound loss for the week. I did pretty well with eating, like I said before. My concern had been that I was not fully on plan with the points. I did manage to track everything (well, almost, except for the mini Reece's PB Cups I ate last night ). In the end I was off-plan by about 20 points. My conclusion is that I was eating a little too much ice cream for dessert every night.
Here are my goals for this week:
Drink at least 6 8oz glasses of water every day
Eat 5 servings of fruits/veggies every day
Eat only one serving of low-cal/low-fat ice cream each night instead of two
Do 3 days of exercise for 30 minutes each session
This will be my first week back on exercising so I want to start with something obtainable.
On the job-front I found out that I did not get considered for the job I interviewed for. It sucks but it's ok. It's my first time being rejected. I am applying my guts out at every district in my area so something should work out by next fall.
Today is my "Friday" because I took a 4-day weekend. We are supposed to be going camping but it's also supposed to be rainy so we are iffy on that idea! At least we don't have to work either way!

Nicely done!
Your weekly goals are always a good reminder of things I should be thinking about. ;-) Keep up the good work.
Just a guess, but I bet you won't have too much trouble in jobville. Just show up and The Donald will be saying, "You're hired."
P.S. Thanks for the thoughtful post on my blog. Always very encouraging! Take care.
glad to hear it! my scale has slowly been going down as well, but i dont want to post until it's official... plus after last night it might not be so down today - havent checked yet. :P
in any case, keep it up, and those goals sound great =)
Looks like you've it under control! And now you have a 4 day weekend! Well, you could always pretend to camp in your living room! Lay out your sleeping bag, light a fire and some candles, skip the shower! LOL
I spent a lot of time on my grandparents motor home when I was little (I guess even in high school)- we would go to a lake and camp, fish, hike, they would all drink and we'd play this card game called "screw your neighbor"...I think there are other names for it, but, thats my grandparents! My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins would all go, too. Good memories. But there real home was a houseboat (kind of like a small yacht in Marina Del Rey) so no matter what, when I visited I had to use the restrooms at the marina or campground. God forbid we use the "head"! LOL
is fun! I used to camp a lot during the summer when I was younger. I'm hoping to get my city boy husband to go camping because I know my daughter would love it. Hope it doesn't rain too much for you.
Great job on the weight loss and you're doing very well. Have a great weekend!
That is awesome on the weight loss!! You will be back to goal in no time!
I looove reeces cups, I try and eat them on my free day only but sometimes I can't resist.. :-) I did discover my sugar and milk in my coffee every morning was sure adding up. Guess I will be going black..lol
Great loss for the week!! You are doing awesome!! I hate camping. Does that make me a "city girl" LOL - my b/f wants me to go camping with him so badly. I am sure I will do it once, then we'll see from there.
Have a great long weekend!! I cannot believe you guys have another 2 weeks of school over there! My 8th grader is done on Tuesday, the younger two get out Fri.
Sorry that you didn't get considered for the job, but sounds like you have lots of excitement and wonderful things going on for you. I'm sure a better job than that one is just around the corner! Chin up! You're doing AWESOME!!!!!!!
I'm starting back up again this week. And I'm right there with you on the double servings of "low fat/fat free" ice cream. And I'm sure putting extra chocolate syrup on my ice cream didn't help either.
I wish you the best of luck with your goals this week. Keep up the great work!!
Glad to see you are still here at EXP! Ya, ice cream has been part of my "maintenance plan" for a while too. It catches up with me once in a while....like now! Hope everything is going great....and congrats on the engagement!
Wow.. I wish in 3 weeks I'll be able to lose 10 lbs! how did you do it? I'm on a JC plan but it's really making me ginoromously hungry but I'm trying to stick to it no matter what.. but it's just, blah.
