Yes.
Spring break is rapidly approaching.
The last few weeks, DH and I have hemmed and hawed over possibilities on how to spend some of our spring break time. I’m back to working 40 hour weeks (probably for a limited time only) and my schedules are not set until the friday before the next schedule begins on sunday. Which is kind of a pain in the butt. I asked my department manager to merely keep my 2 days off consecutive and to have a somewhat early shift the day prior.
Anyhow, We have finally decided what we are going to do (Word on the street is, I’m going to be off monday and tuesday so for this timeline I”m going to operate under that assumption). On sundays I usually work 7am-3pm which I would hope to score again this sunday if I were to be off monday and tuesday. Early sunday evening (no later than 6:30 pm!) we would hop in the car and drive to Austin. Check into our hotel and have a good night’s rest. Earlyish monday morning, we head out to McKinney Falls state park for a day filled with outdoor adventure. Swimming, hiking, observing. Fingers crossed for good weather!!! We’ll likely stop at a subway on our way out to throw into the cooler in the trunk of the car for lunch. It is absolutely at the forefront of my mind that I want to stay 100% on plan while we are away. We spend monday night at the hotel and spend tuesday morning and early afternoon taking in some of the sights around Austin before driving home.
A few things about this plan. DS is developing a cough that I am praying goes away by next week. Sunday is my niece’s 19th birthday. This would give us approximately 2.5 hours to join the gathering at her mom’s house, give wishes kisses and hello kitty garb. Thursday we are going to have to go swimsuit shopping. *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUHHHHNNNNNNNN*
I’m still ricocheting between 170 and 174. I’m getting so aggravated with this. I’ve amped up the cardio, I’m doing daily yoga, drinking a gallon of water a day, and staying well within my daily calorie intake. I’m not sure what else I can do right now.
On a more pleasant note, if you consider my low weight as having lost 75 lbs (and the ricochet activity mostly water weight flux), I’ve lost 31% of my starting weight. That’s pretty cool.
Also, I’m venturing into some serious TMI territory here but I need to rant!
TMI!!!
I’ve been eating fiber one original cereal for breakfast every day, having a fiber one bar with my lunch every day, and only stopping short of eating a cardboard box for dinner. But I don’t make! What the eff is this about?! I’m sure I would see the 160s if I could only make. What the hell?!!? Seriously!! I’m so frustrated!!
end TMI
i should shower while DS is napping. Later girls.

I totally understand your frustration.
I’ve been back on the wagon since January and still nothing. Gain and then drop and gain again and drop… When I drop, I do drop like 2-3 lbs but if there were no gains, I would have lost 10.2 lb! It’s like I just cannot get out of here..which sucks. I’m working out, drinking at least half of my weight…and trying to eat healthy too. Not even more than I did before… GRRR
For the TMI part… I used to go like once a wekk…but I noticed that when I started running, my BM started going way more regular. Then fruit and salad helped whole lot. Hopefully this helps…
Hey!
This is slightly random but do you drink coffee? coffee and apples always work for me, more then any fiberone product has. also, running and the elliptical definitely effects it too.
hope that helps!
