Gave in to pizza!

Yesterday while I was working on deadline, my Mom called and asked when I would be finished. She wanted to take me, hubby and DD to the all you can eat Pizza Hut buffet. I tried to get out of it, but she was persistent. After working another hour and a half, I gave in. I ate probably two GOOD size pieces and about 3 small pieces plus some salad.

I felt really bad about it, but I'm going to write it off as flex points, not weigh this morning so I won't get discouraged. I'm going to work really hard the rest of the week and weigh in Sat. morning and see if there was any damage.

Then, this morning, hubby forgets to reset my alarm clock so I could workout. I woke up in time to do everything else, thank goodness--but I needed at least another 45 min. for a workout.

One day at a time.....

Felt like a slug but made it through

I did my first workout in 7 days. I'm back from the land of low iron! I did Turbo Jam Fat Blaster, granted its only a 30 min. workout, but I needed something short to get back in the groove. I previewed my new Jillian Michaels' workout, looks really good. She gets on my nerves with all of her banter, but I'll persevere!

Its 4 a.m. and I'm up!

I set a goal of getting up to exercise this morning and I'm up having coffee right now...wasn't easy, but at least I'm up. Hubby has to get up at 3:30 every morning to get ready for work, the girls are asleep (of course), so if I don't get up in the mornings to exercise, there's very little time in the rest of the day to get it in.

Six hours sleep is enough for anybody, right? I'm talking to myself here!!

I did see 189.6 on the scale this morning, barely in the 180's, but I'll definitely take it! Not too bad considering I haven't exercised in a week due to my iron count being so low that I haven't had the energy. I'm feeling a little bit more energized despite the horrendous day at work yesterday.

I was going to get in bed at 9 p.m. last night after Supernanny (my kids love that show) but I had forgotten that "What About Brian" show was on and I've watched all the episodes to date. Once you start watching you're completely sucked in!

Its 8:00 p.m. and I'm within points!

Today is day #3 OP and I'm feeling really good about it. Before I started blogging here I was journaling in a small notebook--my food, my thoughts, ideas, snack ideas, etc. I tried to keep myself busy doing anything other than eating. I figure most of us are obsessed with food anyway so why not write about it. Blogging really helps.

I had a really stressful day at work, it was one of the busiest days of the year and I expect tomorrow to be just as bad. At least I didn't turn to food. To be honest I didn't take time to eat lunch until 1:30 when I usually eat at 11:30.

For supper I cut up and cooked two chicken sausages (3 pts. each) with cheese inside that I found in the Walmart deli section with a bag of chopped peppers and onions. It was so yummy!

My goal for tomorrow is to get my rear up and exercise--even if its just for 30 minutes. I've got to get back to my regular routine.

I love on-plan weekends!

I did it! I had an on-plan weekend and didn't feel deprived at all. The weekends are usually an excuse to eat and that's what's been making me maintain in the 190's. I don't want to maintain in the 190's--I want to get to goal and THEN maintain....

This has been the cycle I've been in for 3.5 years and I want to quit spinning my wheels and get to goal...that elusive WW "Lifetime" key is what I want! I'm hoping to see the 180's on the scale this week. I usually don't have any problem at all sticking to plan during the week. I take all my healthy stuff to work with me and if I have to I have no problem fixing my family meals and something else for me.

I didn't get up in time to exercise this morning. Hopefully I'll have a chance this evening.

Another Good Day

Wasn't even that hungry this evening but made myself eat a turkey sandwich and some chips to get all my points in. I've definitely got most of my energy back. Hopefully I'll feel like exercising again and get back to my morning routine in the morning. The worst part is definitely going to be when the alarm goes off! If you can get past those few minutes when you're debating with yourself IF you're going to get up and exercise, you've got it whooped!

We had two wonderful church services today and I'm thankful I was a part of them. I praise the Lord for my church and my church family!

Down to 190 this morning!

After only one good day staying within points I'm down to 190 this morning! I definitely have to remember that consistency is the key to success. I can feel my iron level is probably returning to normal, I didn't need a nap yesterday...LOL

I'm going to attempt to get back to my morning workouts in the morning. I have LOTS of home exercise dvd's so I won't get bored including the Firm, Cathe Friedrich, Turbo Jam, tae-bo, Biggest Loser, kickboxing. Plus hubby has a Bowflex, we have an elliptical and treadmill. So I have no excuse NOT to exercise! I've bought all these things throughout the years in all my attempts to lose weight and get fit.

Sunday is always a rest exercise day for me due to our church's 2 services (morning and evening).

Now that I've had breakfast (2 pt. oatmeal and an apple) I've got to take my vitamin.

Nothing's going to stop me!

I ate one of the new Asian salads at Mcdonald's--very good! I definitely recommend it. Plus, I didn't get anything at the movies when we went to see Ice Age. I came home and fixed me some supper and was perfectly content. I've got a lot of water to get in.

I did eat about 8 Whoppers that my DD was eating in the car on the way home. Definitely worth the 2 points!

So far, so good today!

Its 12:25 and haven't been hungry yet. I ate a cup of plain yogurt with frozen blueberries for breakfast. I guess there was enough protein in the yogurt to satisfy my hunger until now. My youngest DD just played her first game of t-ball and we're off to eat at McDonald's. I can be satisfied with one of their salads and then we're going to see Ice Age 2.

I want my life to be more than food and drink!

I just got this in my email box and that it was very fitting to how I'm feeling today.
