Getting my groove back!

Somehow I'm doing it..
I'm getting back to where I was 2 weeks ago!  I think this weigh in will be pretty good actually.  I know it's only Wednesday, so I do have a couple more days to keep myself in check, but I'm feeling good about it.  Per my scale, I'm back to where my scale said on the 15th.  Now WW scale that day suprised me and was a bit lower than my home scale, so I'm not sure.... but we'll see!  I mean hypothetically, I should be where I was on the 15th by what I'm seeing today.... Soooo we shall see.

Don't eat stress. Don't eat stress. Don't eat stress. Don't eat stress. 

Feeling quite a bit disorganized in life right now.  Between new jobs being added to my plate at work and trying to figure out how to manage and organize and keep everything straight...to trying to keep up on homework, school activities, etc...and then the house... It's just overwhelming at times.  It's working so far, but it just flusters me.  I need to really work on a system at work with all my new work.... Gotta figure that out.

Okay, too busy to type more!!

Last week was AWFUL!

I had an awful week to follow up my amazing loss the week before... Why do I do that to myself?!!  It started with some awful PMS, but what should've been a bad day, turned into SIX bad days!!! No tracking. No cares. Needless to say, I'm cranky, feel like crap, and am just overall down. Not about anything imparticular, just feeling down.  I also skipped my meeting on Saturday.  I'll be back this week, I just hope I don't show a gain. I did sooooo good the week prior.  I'm up A LOT right now.  I'm hoping by tracking, drinking my water and tea, and just paying attention I can get back down in the next 5 days..  

I also feel like my taste buds are messed up.  Normally I would love a regular coke, but yesterday when I had one it just tasted bad. (not a bad thing)  And even my coke zero.... and my fruit this morning tastes weird... I don't know what's up. I'm guessing maybe I'm getting a cold... Blah! 

Annnnyway... our housewarming party was great.  The house really came together and we had a great turnout. Lots of food and great company!!  I'm really hoping to get my act together this week.  Hoping that will help me feel better too.

Little Successes Add Up

Saturday's weigh-in was a WIN.  I did it. I hit my 10 lb loss and blew past it.  I actually don't know how it was so much.... because by my home scale it wasn't THAT much, but I will take it.  Down 12.6 lbs. on WW

So my weekend was my typical weekend...not tracking..not the best choices... I know I can't do this forever. Felt crappy on Saturday from all the pop and pizza.  We went bowling for a fundraiser.  Hadn't bowled in a while and it showed.  I did manage to win a wine basket in one of the raffles.  

Just feeling in a funk today.  They're having a "Boss' Day" breakfast this morning.... I'm going to try to stay strong, but we'll see how that goes.  We've got so much to do at the house this week to prep for the housewarming party..... probably should've pushed it back a little bit... but it'll come together.  Just a lot to do lol.   So this week we'll just be getting that stuff done.  

This was from March 29th to Oct 14th -- I'm impressed!


Here's to hoping I can stay focused today and this week.  I'm stressing already. Fingers crossed!

Nailed it!

This morning I stepped on the scale after another good day.... and I broke into the 270's....barely, but I'm there!  Two more days to hopefully lock in the number for the official weigh in on Saturday at WW.  I'm pretty sure they require clothes be worn....so I gotta get a little lower. LOL  I'm happy though. I haven't been this "light" in 2 years!  I am proud of myself.  Sticking with WW is the way to go for me.  It gives me enough freedom and leeway that I don't feel like one little thing is going to blow it, or set me back a full week or anything.  It's give and take.  

Water and tea and diet coke are getting me through. LOL  I do want to eventually try to get away from the caffiene, but the WW leaders just said that if you're drinking caffiene, make sure you're drinking more water.  I do drink a ton of water, especially at work, so I'm good there!  

This weekend should be pretty good. Saturday night will be a bowling fundraiser.  Hopefully I'll win some stuff this year....last year was a bust (for me!)  I'll get some activity...and eat some pizza...and drink some drinks.... but no plans Sunday.  Actually we'll probably be busting our butts trying to get stuff done around the house.  Next weekend will be our housewarming and there's still a bit to do.  It's really such a big difference from when we first got in.  It's sooooo nice. I just love it!!

Going to have some oatmeal for breakfast! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

A new week!

Last week started out SO well!...  
I was ready to lose enough to hit my 10 lbs and get my ribbon.  The amazing week quickly slipped away with bad choices.  For my weigh in Saturday, I was up 3 lbs.  As of today, I'm back down 2 of those 3 lbs, so I'm hoping that by Saturday I'll be back on track.  We've got a good plan for the week with meals though, so that's a help! 

Steve's making chili tonight -- that's gonna be so good!!  Perfect meal for this fall day!  I love this cooler weather.  I just unpacked a box last night with more of my sweaters. It's amazing how much stuff you realize that you have when you move.  So many clothes.  So many that I don't even wear.  So many that I CAN'T even wear..  So many that are "for when I lose some weight"  I do think I'm going to go through stuff again and purge a lot of it... maybe just keep the jeans LOL  It's just crazy.  I don't know.  I am moving in the right direction.  It's just such a slowww process.  But I know that's the *right* way to do it.  In my meeting on Saturday, there was a guy there who was down 50 lbs in about 12 weeks he said.   Impressive.  4 weeks in to WW and I'm down 5.8...... was 9.1 the week before.  Fingers crossed that I'll be back to the 9/10 lb mark this weekend.  

Today I am focused.  I need to make the next 3 days perfect to the T!  I need a great weigh in.  Kelly and I are both going to have great numbers this week.  I want to hit the next "decade" in weight loss...the 270s.... I've been close, but i haven't seen anything in the 270s in well over a year at least...wow... just checked -- November 2014!  I will have a lot to be proud of when I get back there then!  That makes me want to get there so bad!  A little over 3 lbs to go from my WI this morning!!! 

Okay - I can do this. I will do this.  See, sometimes blogging just pumps me up.  Thanks for reading and always having my back people <3

Monday - it's gonna be a great day!

Over the weekend, I blew my mind by coming in to WW and not only not gaining, but losing 2 lbs!  I was totally prepared for a 2 lb gain. Seriously.  I accepted that my week sucked, and I was going to be up.  Friday was the only day I did amazingly well. I was doing damage control.  I ate 50 cups of watermelon ...well, almost... ate right, and drank my water and tea!  I was on fire!  I was so shocked when I stepped on the scale Saturday morning and the weigh-in lady - sounds like an official enough title - gave me a reaffirming nod and congratulated me.  No freakin way!  So I'm using that as incentive to actually have a good full week and see what I can do!! So I got my keychain for my 4 weeks with WW.  Now to start earning some charms ;) 

I've been trying to be better about doing some things for myself...to make me feel better about me.  It might sound silly, but most of the time I didn't care about doing my hair or makeup.  I was just going to work, and honestly I don't care what anyone thinks about me here. lol  But I've been spending 15-20 min doing my hair and make up and it makes such a huge difference in how I feel.  I feel more confident - happier - just better overall. So I'm going to continue.  I'm having a Younique party which is makeup and skincare stuff.... expensive $$ stuff.... but the couple products I've used, I love.  I just have a hard time spending so much money on me for stuff like that.... So we'll see if I earn any rewards. lol  But either way, I'm going to keep trying to bump myself up a bit in my priorities. :) 



Had a great weekend.  Another game night and so much laughing.  I count that as an ab workout!  Had family over last night and made tacos.  Had a great time! This week should be pretty good!  Not a whole lot going on.  Just going to focus on accomplishing more around the house!  Hope everyone has a fabulous week!!
