No Title Thursday

So I didn't do so hot with yesterday's goals:

1. Only one sweet - ummm... or 5 cookies

2. Go to bed before 11pm - yes, lights were out by 10:30

3. Drink 64oz of water - Not nearly. I think I maybe got 32oz

In spite of this, weigh in today showed a small loss. But I've got to get back on track today!

Today my goals will be:

1. NO sweets

2. Go to bed before 10:30pm

3. Drink 64oz of water

4. Don't overeat

I'll be going for a walk in just a little bit, so that will be my exercise today. I'm babysitting a friends kids tonight, so I don't get to go to my kickboxing class, which is disappointing. I'm hoping I can go this Sunday, but the class is at 9:45am on the other side of town. I'm not so good at getting up and out of the house at a reasonable hour on the weekends.

Anyway, I hope you're all doing well! I've been reading blogs, even if I haven't been commenting. Happy Thursday everyone! It's almost the weekend!

Blah Wednesday

I haven't been able to think of anything to blog about all week! I still can't really think of anything to say, but I know I do better with my eating, etc when I'm on here regularly.

So let me just set goals for today.

1. Only one sweet

2. Go to bed before 11pm

3. Drink 64oz of water

The water will be hard since it's almost 4pm and I've only had a couple of glasses so far. Oops. I've done ok this past week, but not much exercise due to being sick. I did walk and do water aerobics yesterday and walked a bit today, but that's it. I'm still hoping for a loss for the challenge!

Go pink team!

blobby Saturday

I'm still sick today, but getting a little better. I haven't exercised since last Monday though! I'm hoping I'll feel up to going for a walk (at least!) tomorrow. Today I've just been sitting around watching movies. I hate being sick!

Hope your weekends are going a bit better.

sick day

Yuck! I feel awful today. I'm home sick from work with a cold. My head is all stuffy and my nose is dripping. Not a lot of fun! I've just been sitting around watching the Olympics, blowing my nose, and drinking tea.

But anyway, on the happy side of things, my weight was down today. Too bad it wasn't my official weigh in! Oh well. I'll just get it even lower by next Thursday.

Hope you're all doing better than I am!

romeo, romeo...

Well, the Shakespeare production last night was fantastic.  I saw Romeo and Juliet. It was the first time I'd seen that play performed live, and I was very impressed.

Anyway, weigh in today is 161.4. Just .2 down from last week, but I'll take it. I'm not feeling that great today. Still got a mild cold. Blah.

As far as yesterday's goals:

1. Only one sweet - yes, a vegan cookie while watching the play

2. No overeating - yep

3. Bedtime before 11pm - nope. we didn't get home until about 11pm, and I didn't get to bed until after 12. whoops.

So today my goals are:

1. No sweets, even at the party for my coworker tonight

2. Eat a relatively light dinner, with lots of veggies

3. Bedtime by 10pm

Ok, well I'm going to check up on all of you, post my weigh in to the challenge (Go Pink!) and get back to work.

Back from vacation

Hi everyone, I'm back! I had a lovely long weekend with my family up in Northern California. We ate really well, walked every day, and went swimming in the river on Monday. Tons of fun! Oh, and we picked blackberries in my moms back yard and made jam. So yummy!

Unfortunately, now I have a really busy week ahead and I feel like I'm coming down with something. My throat feels funky. What a bummer! And tonight I'm going to see an outdoor performance of Romeo and Juliet. Oh well. I'll just bundle up.

So I weighed myself this morning, and it looks like I'll be posting another small loss for the pink team this week. Yay!

I have to run to a meeting, but just wanted to say that today's goals are:

1. Only one sweet

2. No overeating

3. Bedtime before 11pm

And fingers crossed for a good weigh in tomorrow!

Confessions

Well.... I did ok yesterday. But definitely not great.

1. Drink 64oz of water - nope, at least 16oz short.

2. No alcohol tonight- yep!

3. Eat the lunch I brought and not pizza - ummm... no. I ate the pizza

4. One sweet only - yes, but it was a large piece of chocolate cake

5. Go to bed before 11pm - not quite. more like 11:20

So now that I actually write that out, it doesn't look quite so bad. Oh wait. There were some french fries involved as well. And a complete lack of exercise. Whoops. I'll do MUCH better today, I promise!

My weigh in went well. Lost .4 lbs. I think it would have been a bigger loss if the french fries and chocolate cake hadn't interfered. Today I'll be exercising lots and preparing for my weekend trip! I'm heading up to Northern California (Eureka area) to visit my mom and brother. I'll probably eat better and exercise better up there than I do here at home! So hopefully I'll be posting another loss next week.

Anyway, today's goals are:

1. Drink 64oz of water

2. No sweets

3. Go to bed by 11pm

I'm just going to leave it at that. Short and simple. Now I'm off to catch up on all my teammates blogs! Go Pink!

A weeble wednesday

I'm feeling a little more optimistic today. :) Yesterday's goals were:

1. One sweet only - a white chocolate and macadamia nut cookie. and boy was it good.

2. No eating out - success!

3. Walk at lunch - yep, even though I had to go by myself :(

4. Drink 64oz of water - yep

5. Go to bed before 11pm - yep, but I had trouble falling asleep. too many worries about work and grad school apps.

Speaking of which, I have a lot of stuff to get off my desk today at work. A LOT. So my goals for today are:

1. Drink 64oz of water

2. No alcohol tonight (we're going to trivia night at a pub)

3. Eat the lunch I brought and not pizza

4. One sweet only

5. Go to bed before 11pm

So I'm on the pink team in Endurer's Challenge. Go pink! I'm excited about this challenge. My goal is to lose 8 pounds by the end of the challenge (Sept 29). That will bring me down to 154. Which is only a pound and a half over my lowest EP weight. Yikes! But I can do this. My weight was down a bit today, so I'm hoping it stays down for the official challenge weigh in tomorrow. Wish me luck!

So how did I do on yesterday's goals?

1. No sweets - yay! my treat was some raspberries.

2. Drink 64oz of water - yep. I'm using my nalgene bottle again, so I can say for certain that I drank more than 64oz

3. Go to bed before 11pm - yep! Went to bed around 10:30. Woohoo! And I definitely feel more human today because of it.

So today I'm happy that I met yesterday's goals. I'm happy that I'm a bit sore from yesterday's workout. But I'm NOT at all happy that I'm wearing size 12 pants that were way too big for me several months ago. I can only blame TOM for so much. But I'm frustrated, because I feel like I'm doing well, but I'm not losing anything. If anything, I'm gaining. And my size 10's aren't fitting, so I know I'm not losing inches either. Grrrr... What should I do? I need advice!

Anyway, in the meantime I'll follow today's goals:

1. One sweet only

2. No eating out

3. Walk at lunch

4. Drink 64oz of water

5. Go to bed before 11pm

So there we go. I'm not giving up!

Here comes the sun

Happy Monday everyone! That weekend was way too short. I want more! Anyway, I did well on my Friday goals:

1. Only one sweet - yep

2. Don't overeat at lunch (we're going out for Afghan food) - yep! But this was hard, because the food was fantastic!

3. Drink 64oz of water - Ummm... I'm not sure, but I don't think so.

4. Go to bed before 11pm - Went to be at 11, so not too bad

Overall I did pretty good on eating this weekend. I could definitely have eaten more veggies though. Oh well. I'm going grocery shopping tonight, so I'll plan out some good meals for the week. I was so sore from my workout last Thursday that I didn't exercise all weekend. Boo. But I'll be working out at lunch today, so that's good.

My goals for today are:

1. No sweets (I went a little overboard with sweets yesterday)

2. Drink 64oz of water

3. Go to bed before 11pm

So there you have it! The recipe for a fantastic Monday. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm looking forward to checking up on all of your blogs.
