I weighed in today for my Christmas challenge, but it was only 1 lb down for the week so far.  I wanted to lose 10 lbs in October, which would have had me at 196, but I didn’t make it there.  I am now 201.  I am hoping to see 199 next Saturday.  My November goals are as follows:

~Don’t eat for 2 hour before bed

~Drink 72-80 oz of water daily

~Lose 8 lbs to be down to 193

So I just weighed and measured in for the Survivor Sistas!  I have lost 3 lbs and 5 inches this week!  That shocks me because usually my workouts are harder, but this week I’ve only had time to walk daily.  I have been really good about what I put in my mouth though!  I am still kind of upset because I know that I wont reach my goal of being 198 by November 1st, but I am hoping to at least be 200, which is only 2 lbs away.  And no matter what I know that I’m not giving up!  By Halloween 2009 I’ll be at my goal and much healthier!!  I just need to stay motivated!

Okay, so I weighed in on Saturday for a challenge that I am doing, and lost 3 lbs this week.  At first I was really happy about that cause I worked my butt off for it, but then I started getting kind of down.  You see, the week before I gained 4 lbs!  That was with a car accident and all, but still.  I guess that it was progress that I had already made and had to redo had me upset.  I am shooting for another 3 lbs down this week too, which would bring to down to 202, and ultimately down to 200 by the end of the month.  My original goal was to get to 198 by November 1st, but we’ll see what I can do!

Okay so I gained 4 lbs last week.  Then I got a present from Mother Nature yesterday, blah!  But anyways, my back and neck are feeling much better, and I’ve been released from “light duty” from the dr.  So I’m ready to bust my butt to lose those 4 lbs, and hopefully many more to come!  So far today I’ve done 20 minutes cardio dance workout, 10 minutes stretching, 10 minutes toning, and 10 minutes of ab work.  I am getting ready to go and walk for atleast an hour as well.  Today is one of my 1300 calorie days as well.  So far I’ve only had 250 from a bowl of Raisin Bran with skim milk.  I feel so much better when I can work out!  I’m excited to see what I can do by my Saturday weigh in! 

Okay so I had a gain this week.  Not only a gain, but a HUGE gain!  I gained back 4 lbs!!!!  I guess that’s what happens when you get bed rest for a few days, and eat terrible.  At first it broke my spirit, and I wanted to give up, but now it’s all different.  Now, I’m flat out mad at myself!    So I’ve decided that my consequence is extream pain from workouts for this whole week!  I’m also cutting my calories to a strict rotating from 1200-1300 daily.  Keeps me having an extra treat evey other day, but I’m determinded, and embarrassed now, but I can change this!  I’m taking control of my body, and putting it to work!

I went to a buffet for the first time since I started trying to lose weight, and I think I did well.  I had a huge salad with romain lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fat free salad dressing with 45 calories.  Then I had a grilled chicken breast, and for dessert, sugar free jello!  I was full, enjoyed the experience, and didn’t feel guilty when I left! 

Hey guys, as most of you know, I was involved in a car accident Sunday evening.  The doctor put me on bed rest, percocets, and a muscle relaxer.  I originally told myself that even though I couldn’t work out, that I would eat even better so that I could atleast maintain my weight this week.  The last 2 days I have been terrible!  Food had to be quick and easy due to my pain levels.  I am vowing that the rest of the week will be better.  I’m scared of a gain because of my bad choices the last 2 days, but I guess I wont see for sure how that goes until my Sunday weigh in.

I busted my butt last night to hope to see -3 this morning, but it didn’t happen.  I was weighing in last week at 206.2 and this week it was 203.7, so it wasn’t low enough to get that extra lb off.  I am determined to have a 3 lb week!  I found out last night that I can watch the Biggest Loser!!  It comes on FLN here on my satelite and if they can lose 10 lbs in one week, man or not, I should be able to lose 3!  I reached my 3rd mini goal of 205 this morning though, well passed it.  I set another one for 201, which will be 3 lbs down.  I set them based on what I’d like to reach each week.  However, last week I didn’t get to change it because I didn’t meet it as I was hoping for 3 lbs then too.  Since September 1st I’ve lost 10 lbs.  My October goal is to get down to 196 lbs, which would be 10 lbs down for the month. 

I have been doing the Thanksgiving walking challenge on the Bees team, and that has made me keep my butt out there and walking.  As well as working with Phoenix on push ups this week, and am on commit to getting fit to keep myself accountable for working out in general.  I am also doing the Christmas weightloss challenge as well.  My goals for Christmas is to be down to 182 lbs so I have 22 lbs to go!  I worked out every day this week!!  I think Sunday will be my day of rest though as I have a ton of work to do.  I may be able to get a walk in later, but we’ll see.  Sorry for rambling, just my way of putting it all out there.

I had my hubby go out and grab dinner tonight.  I have only had 250 calories for the day, so I thought a burger wouldn’t be terrible, but boy was I wrong.  After eating the entire thing, I got online to see how many calories and grams of fat it was.  It had 910 calories, and 48 grams of fat!!!!!!!!  I felt so guilty that I just did 30 more minutes of a mixture toning workout.  I still feel fat as a cow, and am going to have to kick some MAJOR butt tomorrow!!!!  I couldn’t go outside and walk today because it’s cold here and my 2 little ones are sick.  I did squeeze in 20 minutes, but that’s nothing compared to usual.  Too late now to change my awful dinner, but I can change it with workout and all tomorrow.  I’d usually say that 1160 cals for a day isn’t bad, but all that fat!!!  And not hardly any nutritional value!  EWWW!  I wont make that mistake again!
