Hi! I was totally mia from 3fc this week. I was worried I was off track this week. I did not eat well this week. I had a friend visit for the weekend and I ate every single meal out. Ugh. I made up for it at the gym though, apparently!
I'm down 2 lbs this week from 165 to 163. All I want to be is 150-something before new year's eve... I am buckling down for the next 2 weeks!
The scale went up....grr!!! I am hoping it's just because it was the end of my TOM and I had some wine Saturday night at the family Christmas party. It's just so frustrating!!!
Morning Ladies! I am sad to say that I am in terrible need of some encouragement today. I wasn't happy to see the scale go up on Friday and it seems that it has something against me. It's still showing me at a 1lb gain, which in the grand scheme of things probably isn't much... But, it's really affecting me mentally. My old self is arguing with my changing self as to what to eat, when, and how. My old self tells me to binge on McDonalds - My changing self says to stick with what I'm doing and it WILL come back down. Now I know that my changing self is right and I just need to stick with it, but it's difficult today... blah.
I've kept below 1500 calories for weeks and I gained 2 lbs since Friday. I'm so annoyed, and I know its salt, and I'm drinking water, exercising and this morning on my way to work I had an "eff it" moment - but I fought it. We've worked SO HARD to get where we are, we are NOT going to throw it all down the tube because of what the stupid scale says, because that's what it is, just a stupid scale!
My plan for today is to behave myself at our team potluck luncheon, drink lots of water, have tea and then work out later. I ran yesterday and my knees are a little sore, so I'm going to see how I feel if I want to do that, but Wii Fit is definately in my future. This stupid 2 lbs is not going to derail me, its going to get its little butt kicked.
Stargzr, listen to your changing self, it's the little angel on your shoulder
I'm not trusting the scale at all at the moment... It says I still weigh 187.2... I'm fairly convinced I don't "really". I've eaten too much fibre and now I have such incredible bloating I've never seen anything like it and it's not even TOM, my stomach has swollen up to the extent it looks like I'm heavily pregnant. So I'll wait until the weekend to start trusting the scale again.
Sigh. 185.0. A whole 0.2 lbs. In reality, nature hasn't called in a while, and this may be the problem. Its an annoying problem, and I wish it would go away. I'm going to go to the supermarket at lunch and get some fruit - I've been kind of lax on the fruits and veggies lately, so maybe this is the problem.
I also so didn't work out last night, I got a massage instead. Tonight I'm going to start Week 3 of C25K then walk on the treadmill for a while. I bought "the secret" (I like that new-agey stuff) so I figure I can walk and read.
Thank you ladies!! I really appreciate the encouragement. All day yesterday, anytime I felt like I wanted to just not be as great as I have been, I reminded myself what you said and what I knew to be true. SO, one day of poor choices averted! The good news? The scale was friendly with me today. I will wait until tomorrow to change the ticker (just to make sure it's correct).
I am hoping for a very good weigh-in on Friday for all of us!! That would be amazing! Besides, as of Friday we have two weeks left until New Year's!
Stella - Don't worry! It will come off once you start eating your fruits and veggies again! I think that was my problem 2 weeks ago. I just kind of stopped eating good stuff and the scale didn't budge!!
I saw 175 on my scale this morning and I was so happy, but I'm not going to say anything official until Friday!! Hopefully I can keep it off until then!!! I hope all of our weigh-in's go well!
They put the leftovers out from yesterday's lunch, and all I took was salad some more pasta (a total of 2 cups with tomato sauce) and 1 small cookie. I planned out what I was eating today, so I'm just at 1450 now (including dinner and a snack) so I think I'm okay.
I was just SO HUNGRY. I skipped dinner last night (Bad Jennierose, Bad) so I think that's why I was starving.
I know it's kinda late to join in on a new year's challenge, but I'm here anyway! My goals:
Alternate running with the 30DS every day.
Stick within 24 ww points.
Get to 144 again!!
stellarose- i have the same goal to achieve! 5 lbs in two weeks! we can do it. i must! i will feel much more comfortable in my new year's eve dress if i do... aka i might be able to breathe more comfortably! hahaha.
Good luck to you both on your 5lbs in two weeks!!! I hope to see those tickers moving.
aneleh - WELCOME!!!
I woke up ok today, excited for my run tonight... I got on the scale and I decided it just doesn't know where it wants to be. grrr, back to 182. I am REALLY looking forward to the 170s and I plan to hop in the thread when I get there. Grr, the 180s are really stickin' it to me. I feel like I had gotten stuck in the 190s, then finally into 180s and now I'm 10lbs lighter and stuck again. Maybe I get stuck every 10lbs? Yipes! I could have eaten better last night, but I'm not too worried about it. I just know now that I shouldn't make turkey tacos at home anymore - they're dangerous! haha. Anyhow, I really wanted a chocolate today so I got one (from the plentitude around the office) and put it on my desk. I told myself that I can have it before I go to the gym... It's not easy, but I think this is what needs to be done with my tempting foods so I can learn that even though they are around I don't have to eat them. Aside from my little bit of rambling here, I think I'm turning this day into a positive one!!
I hope all of you are having a great Thursday! Tomorrow's Friday! (and weigh-in) YIPPEE!!
I'm kinda late on this too ha but I love these holiday challenges!
Anyways, I'm at 148.8 as of this morning. I want to be at 145 by New Years. Thats less then 2 lbs a week, but I'm factoring in damage control for Christmas haha.
It's still showing me at a 1lb gain, which in the grand scheme of things probably isn't much... But, it's really affecting me mentally. My old self is arguing with my changing self as to what to eat, when, and how.
