My weight goal for Novemeber is to get down to 147 lbs! Hope I can do it!

Calories for 11/5 -- 1625 in/3396 out
A little high but I'm still averaging just over 1400 day in.

My goal today is very simple: Don't screw up.
My tween angel is home sick & the DH is working overtime, so I won't make it to the gym & I really can't take the baby out for a walk & leave the tween home alone. Plus that, stuck at home + fridge full of food= trouble usually.
Goals: Lots of housework, some WATP, 1500 calories, lots of water, no empty calories (and win the lottery)

Goal for the day: 1400 calories. I know working out with not be in the days reptoire. Going to my mother in laws house after work. Also, to remain binge free of course and stay away from the lure of sugar.

I am so depressed today and need some good yibes. I started counting calories 77 days ago. I tend to eat around 1600 calories a day and haven't cheated even once. What got me started dieting was after being weighed at the doctors in mid-August. I was shocked at how much I weighed! Within a week I started counting calories. I never weighed myself at home. I planned to judge my weight loss by my clothes. My clothes have gotten looser and I am even able to wear a pair of pants now that I haven't worn in at least 4 months. Well, today I got the bright idea to get on the home scale. Hey, it's been 77 days. I figured I must have lost 15 or 20 pounds. Well, the scale said I weigh EXACTLY the same amount as what the doctor's scale said two and a half months ago!!!!!!! I haven't lost a single pound. This is an expensive fat % scale!! I know I have lost some weight, but I just expected to see a large drop, not the same weight as mid-August. I am so depressed!!!

So, webweevil...did your pants magically grow in the closet over the past 4 months? Of course not! Don't be so hard on yourself...you have had success!

K, verrrry low on calories today because I'm sick--again. But given that I got upset and had an utterly disgusting binge yesterday (so bad I stopped counting the calories), I don't think one day of restriction's going to hurt anything.

Calories, 409.
Exercise: some dancing, lots of housework. I clean while playing bouncy music, so I end up moving more quickly and semi-dancing the whole time.
Water: 3 liters, maybe a bit more.

What a great way to clean your house. What type of music is bouncy music? I need to clean tomorrow; maybe I will try some music.

Hee! By "bouncy" I just mean things that have a good beat and make me want to move. It can be anything from hip-hop to Celtic.

Thanks OnePerDecade! You are right. No matter what the scale says, my pants are looser and I am wearing a pair of pants that I couldn't wear before. Those darn scales!!!!

By the way, I took my first belly dancing class last night. It is going to be harder than I expected. The teacher has pointed out that she is a stickler for proper technique. Isolating your rib cage and hips and getting them to move the way you want them to is difficult. It is a very small class, so we all get hands on attention.

Goals: Lots of housework, some WATP, 1500 calories, lots of water, no empty calories (and win the lottery)

Well, I made most of my goals yesterday -- except for the WATP thing. Oh - and that lottery thing didn't work out either *tee hee*

BUT...This morning marked 3 big milestones for me. One, I weigh one lb less than my license says I do...Two, Today's weight of 167 is exactly 60 lbs gone and Three, It's my 43rd birthday and I am alive and well and healthy and loved and happy

Today's goals:
Exercise with the baby (we like to dance), keep calories under 1500, lots of water, NO empty calories just because it's my birthday (or for any other reason) and win the lottery.

I HATE scales. Use a tape measure, hun. Forget the scale. You never know what it's reading. Have you gained muscle? Water? It doesn't know the difference! But your pants do! Yay, looser pants, yaaaay.

It's good that your teacher is thurough. I was taking video lessons and then discovered I was doing things wrong...so when I went to a live class, I had to relearn and retrain my muscles! Chest isolations are a problem for me because a.) I'm so fluffy that I can't see what my ribs are doing and b.) Well, it feels a little funny to move one's ribs in such weird ways

Cally- I hope your feeling better today.


Yesterday's Calories: 1,358. (Close enough!) with no dance practice. (I wasn't feeling hot, and then we went to MIL house.)

Today won't be any different. I can't work out this evening either. Back on track for Wednesday, though.

Congrats, OnePerDecade, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *throws confetti*

Ally--I'm hanging in there. Thank you!

Cally- LOL...I thought when you said bouncy you meant a type of music. Then when you first put (Hee! By "bouncy") I thought "Hee" was the name of the song and bouncy was the name of the group until I read the whole sentence. I almost looked the group up on iTunes. LOL Just call me My son looks up all these strange music bands online so I thought maybe there was a group called "Hee." LOL

I worked out to music this morning for a change (usually I watch ivillage online; has great new on foods and working out) and it was awesome. Made my work out fly by got in 60 minutes of walking. I have to do house work today and grocery shopping, I think I will try music with those too. Makes it more fun.

Oneperdecade "Happy Birthday!" You are doing awesome, Keep up the good work!!!
