Hi Ladies!

I lost the pound from yesterday but I'm still not back to where I was Thanksgiving morning. I know how you feel mtiger, I have been staying between 170-172 for the last 2-3 weeks and I have been working very hard, I know we shouldn't be that obsessed with the scale but I can't help it, I want to see the 160s!! Maybe tomorrow....

Today's WEED:
W: 64-960z
E: not sure yet what I'm going to do, probably the treadmill for thirty minutes
E: 1400-1700cals (I can't do less than 1400, or I start feeling sick)
D: try not to get depressed by the scale, just keep pressing on

[Neesy_20]

My Weed for the day...

W: 6-8 glasses
E: Walking my dogs for 30 minutes X 3
E: Calorie Counting
D: Patience, patience, patience!

Work, work, work. Geez, I haven't touched base in two days! I echo those of you who have been stuck at a certain weight. I haven't been able to get out of those 160s since last Spring! GLad to see you back JCat! Lots of C25Kers on this thread. I was thinking that I'd skip W3D3 tonight but now I'm reconsidering. Thanks for the push!

Nix- I see you have a new blog. Did the old one just go poof? Mine did. It must be because we wern't using them. Hillarious story about the phone. You sure like those turkey patties, huh??

Still freaking stuck at about the same. What gives? I could be sweating blood and still not lose a friggin ounce these days. I'm with Jillian. I'm ready to take off a limb to lose some weight. What's a girl gotta do?

Jeni- Getting back on track can be hard. Keep it up.

Gotta go grade some papers. Fun, fun!!

I just wolfed down 2 chicken tacos.... not on plan, gotta go look at my calories for the day. 198.8 this morn. Hoping I didn't just blow all my work. why do I do this kind of crap!

MTig- Apparently I couldn't stand turkey burgers ONE MORE NIGHT. I am actually very okay with them. They are easy and its hard to screw up something so blah. You can only make them better. And yes, the new cell phone is proving to be quite the technological night mare. I love it and am petrified of it all at the same time.

Econ - glad to see you back! coming up on a break from work I would presume?

Welcome Living and Neesy! Good to see so many chicks kicking it in to high gear!

JCat... head up woman... you will be back to good very soon, I can feel it.

Ruthie - I am attached to the scale myself. I find if I don't look daily, then I dont look at all and there is no urgency, or awareness of what my body is doing. Suddenly I'm up 10 lbs and cant explain it. The down side is weighing every day and controlling that emotion when the number goes the wrong way. You are doing fabulous. Keep positive!

Hit for tomorrow and ALLLLLLLL weekend~
W - 64+ I have been failing miserably at this the last 5 days
E - C25K FRI & SUN. W1 day whatever... just gotta get back to it.
E - Plan it!!!! Count it... DO NOT WING IT!
D - I deserve and hour a day. Of me me me time.

Wow I did over 90min of exercise today, spent 37min walking/jogging on the treadmill and 55min on a pilates video. Got my 3qts of water in and around 1600 calories. I don't know how much exercise I'm going to get over the next couple days though because my sister and her family are coming over again but I'm lucky that my sister likes to exercise so hopefully we'll find time to squeeze some in.

Nix: I find that to be the case too, if I don't weigh then I lose focus. When I am doing well I want to see the results on the scale. I don't think I could ever be one who weighs only once a week or less.

I'm proud of myself because last night I made us chocolate chip cookies (from one of those gift jars that you only have to add the wet ingredients) and I think I ate 2.5 cookies. Then I froze the rest, after the family had a few, in bags of four or five. The kids and I shared a bag today which equalled for me one and a half cookies. I definitely wanted more but I said no. I love it when I have willpower

mtiger: just a suggestion, maybe you could try on some days to raise your calories a bit, of course on good healthy foods. I've noticed looking through my food journal on days when I ate around 1800 calories alot of the time I would weigh less the next morning, but not if a lot of the calories were from bread. I actually have a book and the eating plans in it are 2500cals and 2000 cals. Several months ago I was doing the 2000cal plan (as close to the plan as I could) and I lost weight. I think I was probably eating a little less than 2000 though. Of course I know everyone is different.

I renewed my gym membership today! Now, I just need to get motivated to go. It's kind of difficult to go the same time everyday because I work crazy hours. I work three weeks on day shift (7a-7p) and then switch to three weeks on nights and I've been working a lot of mandatory overtime. I know I'll get into some type of routine though. I'm dedicated this time around.
