Plateaus stink!

Wow I can't believe it's almost May already. This year is definately flying right pass me! I have had THE hardest time staying on track lately. For  the past 2 months my weight has been up and down. The same 5 pounds just won't go away! I made it to 140 now I'm back to 145. I am trying so hard this week to stay on plan and track everything!  It's like I will be doing really good at the beginning of the week and then toward the weekend I blow it and there goes all my points! I am so tired of cheating my self. I just want to keep losing like I used to.

This week I have made myself a workout routine and it is completly up to me to stick with it. I have been running lately and I really hope that makes the scale move down.

Sometimes I feel like there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I need to.

I am trying and I think I just need to push myself a little bit harder to get out of my plateau.

Need to stay motivated

So I have officially moved and things are a lot different in a city than in a small town. It's quite a change for my husband and I, but I just keep saying that we will be ok. Hopefully once everything is unpacked we will be more settled in.

My diet has really gone crazy this week with the moving. I haven't been able to keep track of my points. I didn't lose anything last week so I think that just discouraged me a bit. Before we moved there were no fast food places where we used to live for 40 minutes. So now that I am surrounded by them, it's a little too tempting.

I think if I just keep thinking about what I really want and what I want to look like, it should help me when I get in a slump. Even when I look at my before & after pics that helps a little. Sometimes I just don't feel motivated anymore and I just want to eat a whole pizza! Then I remember that is how I use to eat......and I got fat!

Ok so my goal for the rest of the week is to workout....and really workout, and really try to start a usual routine. This month is almost over and my new years resolution isn't going so well.  Oh well no one really cares about those anyways. Alright time to go unpack some more!

I'm moving out of the mountains!

So my husband just got a new job that is an hour and a half away from where we live now. So we are going to be moving in the next 2 weeks. I am hoping that with all the stress that moving brings, I will still be able to stay on track. This week I lost 2 lbs! Great news! I lost that holiday weight that I had gained. Hopefully I will keep my 'losing' streak. The great thing about us moving is that I will finally get out of this SMALL town we live in, and the new apartments we're moving to has a gym and a tennis court, a pool and even a tanning bed. So I will diffently not have any excuses not to workout...and go tanning!

Alright I'm off to find some moving boxes!

my year so far is great!

So far I love 2008! Everything is going good. I am so happy because my mom finally decided to start Weight Watchers!(finally!) I have been trying to talk her into it for almost a year now...but the best part of it is that I actually inspired her to start without even realizing. Over xmas she told my sis that she wanted to start ww cuz she thought I was gettin skinny! ( which is true ). So i think me losing 30lbs inspired her! And my sis & I have been helping her along, I'm proud of her!

In other news...it snowed last night and my husband & i almost got stranded on the side of the moutian with a trunk load of groceries! That would have sucked! But I prayed the whole way up that we would make it and we did! SO this morning we were outside making a HUGE snowman...I'm hoping maybe that counts as a mini workout??

Well since the new year started I swicthed my weigh in day to thrusday instead of tuesday, so I have 3 days left to lose. I hope the WI day doesn't change much, and hopefully it will help cuz now my weekend will be right in the middle. I guess I will find out on thrusday!

Ok everyone have a fun week!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yay today is my bday! As soon as today is over, my WW diet will begin asap!! Since xmas it has been very difficult to stay on plan so I decieded to wait until my birthday to start the year off fresh! ok one more last chance eat whatever I want day!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is almost here!!!

I am soooo excited that christmas is just around the cornner! My boss gave me an ipod! It is so awesome! I can't wait for more gifts! Yay!

Well I made it trough a weekend of baking cookies, i did eat a couple more than I would have liked, but they smelt so yummy(and they were!). I'm hoping that I will not go overboard with these big dinners coming up. My family always makes tamales so i should figure out how many points they are and plan ahead. I guess the worse thing that could happen is that I will gain a pound or two...but hopefully not. I am really hoping that my losing streak will go on until the end of the year! That would be nice!

Speaking of the end of the year..my last years 'New Years Resolution' was to lose weight and I am so proud of myself beacuse so far i have stuck to my resolution for once and I have shed 30 pounds! It's so crazy cuz before I started WW I did'nt think I was really that much overweight until I saw my after pics, it was kind of a shock.I'm glad I'm gonna start this new year healthier!

Well MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! HOPE U GET WHAT YOU WANT!!!

I'm back!!! Updates!

Hi everyone, sorry I've been gone for so long. I didn't realize it had been so long! I have been so busy with Christmas coming, with shopping and decorating and baking, I really do love the holiday season, but I never have time to just sit and relax. So today I got a day off, and I am finally catching up on everything!

So here's an update on my weight watchers diet... after thanksgiving I did lots of shopping and eating out. So of course I just assumed that I had definately gained that week, but I actually lost a pound that week! I was amazed cuz I didn't really try that hard and I didn't even work out! Then the next week I though I would get back to my routine so I worked out like crazy for the next 4 days, and only lost .2 which was good, but I thought not enough. I don't understand when I work out i hardly lost!

So after that week I didn't work out for two weeks to see if I would lose like that Thanksgiving week, and I actually lost a pound a week! I did stay I plan, and everyday I ate more than my allowed points, but I didn't go over my weekly allowance. I just don't get how I can lose more without doing anything and then hardly lose anything when I really try???? This is weird, but it's awesome that I lost! I am so happy because I'm almost in the 130's!! yay!!

So now with Christmas coming next week I am just going to stay on track and save all of my weekly points for xmas dinner. I am having poblems staying away from the yummy cookies I am baking though, so maybe I should workout more this week.

Well besides my craziness, I have some good news...I live in a VERY small town and I work at a hair salon, so I know everyone in town. Recently people have started to notice that I have lost weight and tell me that I look different. It's kinda nice and weired at the same time that people notice me more and ask if I have lost weight. Sometimes I don't know what I should say to them, i usually say 'I've been working out', I feel kinda nervous to say I'm on weight watchers, I don't know why, I know I should be proud of it but that's just the way I am I geuss.

Alrighty time to go for now, but I promise I will be back soon! Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you get everything you want!!

I'm off to the Bay Area!

I am leaving for a road trip to go up to northern California this weekend. My sister is moving so I'm going to go help out. After my gain I have been working out as much as I can, so hopefully I will see a change. I decided to weigh myself tomorrow morning even  though it's not my official day to weigh in, but I'm coming home after my weigh in day so I just want to know if I loss. I hope, I hope,I hope!!! It totally sucks that I finally reached my first goal of 145 then I gained it back, I really couldn't believe it! I know it was the alcohol from that Halloween party, I don't think I will have another drink for awhile, at least till  New Years Eve. It really bummed me out, 3 little drinks! Oh wells...

I'm hoping that I will be able to stay on plan while I'm away. I was thinking of pre-packing some of my meals so I know I will be on track no matter what. Like measureing my cereal(without the milk of course!) and just put it in a baggie. I think it will help.

I'm really happy that my sis is moving back to SoCal, her new baby boy needs some family near by! Ok time to get off this computer and go pack!

Another gain! (this sucks!)

I am so bummed I gained this week! I was doing so good, I lost a pound a week for 2 straight weeks and then a gain!i know it was because of the Halloween week, you know party and drinks galore. I thought I was in good shape cuz I saved all my flex points for the weekend, but I think I got carried away a bit on the drinks. This week i am determined to workout whenever i can so I will drop this weight and then some more!  I don't want any more gains! I just hope that when the holidays come that this won't happen again, hopefully not! I think another reason for the gain is because i wasn't writing down everything I ate and I noticed I was picking at a lot of things , and I think i thought that if it's just a small little piece it wouldn't hurt or the points didn't count. Well obviously they all added up, no more of that! Time to start another week.
