Lost two pounds this week

Well, I'm at 176 today on my scale, I have not been following the programs very well, due to my medication, I have allowed it to be a bit of a vacation, but no more.

AS soon as my foot heals from the nail puncture I'm going to start exercising again, and I'm only eating when I'm hungry and i'm going to try and get in more water in a day, and keep an eye on points.

The holidays are coming and I don;t wnat it to be a free for all, and gain like 5 pounds from stuffing myself. I'll try to taste everything in moderation and enjoy the other traditions like spending time together etc.

Anyway.. that's my post this week. gotta go make my yogurt.

lost 3 pounds!!!

Well I have been busier this week then a one legged man in a butt
kicking contest that is for sure, so I must have sweated off the three
pounds I lost with the cleaning up the house for DD's birthday today!
<br>
I was so worried I would not get it finished, and I didn't but I got it
presentable and the rest I asked our guests to excuse, and I then let it
go and felt ok with it.
<br>
I made DD her cake of flowers and lady bugs and we had pizza for
supper.the two neighbor kids she invited could not come and she was sad,
but them a knock on the door revealed a surprise!( which I was keeping
from her) Favorite Aunt and Uncle from our old town drove in for her
birthday! they told me this AM on MSN that they were going to come and
hopped in the car and came out. She was so excited :) especially when
she opened the RC car they bought her LOL she is such a diverse child,
loving dolls and jewelery AND cars etc.
<br>
I was feeling great about my accomplishments and have overindulged in
the food today, but I'll work through it. My feet are sore from all the
work I've done this week, running the stairs and moving large pieces
upstairs into the den, unpacking boxes, shifting bookshelves, etc.
Including a full day in town buying gifts and running errands and doing
grocery shopping and picking up Sparks outfit in the Scouting store in
town.

Another week stuck at 184

Well I maintained again for a second week in a row. that is not good in
my view.

I did not exercise at all intentionally this week. It rained ALL week
and today is the only sunny day we've had in week,which was nicely interrupted by a hail storm.

I've been emotionally eating a lot this week to stuff the frustration
and anger I'm having, Dh and I have been arguing a lot this week because
he is tired and crabby, because we are trying to arrange some rooms in
the house and he dislikes any of my ideas. JUST ONCE I'd love to have
husband who doesn't care and lets me arrange the furniture the way I
want to. Also the communication issues we always seem to have due to my
ADHD and his lack of understanding it are there more then usual due to
the other stuff going on as well.

I feel like crap emotionally this week, and I've been over eating at every turn.

I want to crawl under a rock and just stay there, and not come out until
spring.

I need to get
a hold of my emotional eating and shake this off and get stuff done.

maintaining

well I stayed the same this week, still holding at 184. eating seems to be in check, sicne I am only eating when I feel hungry it helps.

I didn't exercise as much, been really busy with the boat and having a hard ADHD week of getting motivated, being clumbsy and scatterbrained. This is likely due to my period which is minimal but back again ( gotta love depo provera sometimes the way is messes with your system). I tried roller blading on tuesday, but it hurt my lower back adn hips way too much, though I did break a sweat pretty fast. I think I'm liking walking much better.

Self analysis would seem to be saying that becasue it was tuesday and not monday I didn't go wednesday ( two days in a row is too much it feels like) and then Thursday got too busy. I should have exercised M, W and F then changed it to T, T, S but faltered on the rest of the week when I only did half the exercise on tuesday due to sore hips.

I find that if I don't stick to my schedule then I'm all messed up and lose motivation. I can;t do that, i NEED my routine. so I'm taking it easy until monday then I'll be penning in exercise on monday wednesday and friday in my day planner, if I write it in my day planner I'll do it.

I maintained at 184 this week, that is good. I'm only just looking at the weight now,...184 and thinking that that is actually really good!

I've been in such a funk lately that I have not even realized what it means for me, it means that I have lost 26 pounds since Bubbies was born.

I went through some clothes and found a few things I can wear again, including my Adidas jogging suit, so I can wear it while walking again.

I'm feeling a bit of a cold coming on, so I'm sitting here drinking a lemon garlic and honey tea, i made one for hubby as well.

Kids have runny noses as well. and hubby has been getting a cold since the wedding.

Starting a new challenge from now till Halloween

I am starting today fresh from a horrible food wise day yesterday!My WW list is having a challenge from now until halloween. I'm hoping it is the motivation I need.

We were invited out to hubby's aunt's campground for the labour day roast beef dinner outside with about 200 campers...well it is not an excuse but my plate was dished for me and brought to me and it was loaded like a mountain, the baby ate from my plate though he only had peas and mashed potatoes.
I ate all the roast beef ( smothered in gravy, goodness only knows how many points that was) and I ate the peas and corn and the tomatoes and cukes slices, but it seemed to go downhill from there, it was like I gave myself a license to just blow it, I'm so foolish sometime, cause the whole time I did it I was thinking, I should not be doing this! i ate two pieces of cake, then came home and ate blueberry preserve with bananas. I drank regular coke and not a lick of water yesterday at all!

Yikes what a bad day.

Onto a better day

Exercise

Well I did my ball pilates on Tuesday and went for two walks this week aside from that, not been following point TOO closley but trying to be mindful.

Hopefully a maintain or a loss will show tomorrow on the scale. we'll see. Trying to get water in as much as possible, not getting ALL of it in, but am getting mroe then usual.

trying to figure out what to make for dinner with limited food in the house is hard....low fat or not finding somethign is a sturggle. but I managed to figure out a veggie cheeseless pizza with a homemade crust and salami. Hubby and dd loved it. It was really tasty, I think I should make it more often, has fresh garden onions, tomaotes, greenpapers on it and mushrooms. it was delish :)

Hope my weight in tomorrow is good.
