Me, me, me! I'll buckle down on my weekends...and my treats...and my cardio. Yeah, that should do it!
I just got this month's newsletter from our country club - the pool opens May 27. I'm not going to panic. A lot can be accomplished in two months. Right? Right? Hey, is this thing on? Seriously, though, I'm not one to set weight loss deadlines for myself but two months is plenty of time to make progress. This is real motivation for me because I'm not much further along than I was this time last year. Quite an eye-opener to realize I've been dilly dallying for so long. If anyone had asked I probably would have guessed that I'd been "maintaining" for only a few months. My how time flies when you are having fun!
Help me out here girls. I ate lots yesterday. I don't mean it was an out of control binge where I ate a whole packet of biscuits or I ate 6 slices of toast and was still hungry, but jeez, I ate 2750kcals yesterday and I went to bed hungry! I feel so dissapointed with myself, I was feeling so on top of things yesterday.
I'm still shaking my head over it! Even without the chocolate, turkish delight and cookie it would stil have been 2000kcals!
Maybe it was to do with GI stuff, maybe it was because I was a little bit dehydrated, or maybe it was because I trained really really hard on Tuesday night, or maybe a combination of all three.
I just don't understand why I was so hungry. I know I should just chalk it up to experience and get on with it. But I do that all the time and look where it's getting me.... Approximately 2lbs lighter in 3 months! And I was so THERE with my mindset yesterday
Oh and now, today after 1/2 C oats, 1/2 C kashi and a protein shake over the top (at 7am) now at 9am, I'm ready to chew my arm off again!
I'm going to try hard today, I've got my inner fat chick to beat up tonight. Something tells me whatever I do it won't be good enough.
2frus~~I was like that all last week. I just couldn't get full. Then yesterday the light bulb went on. I'm a week away from my cycle starting. It doesn't always affect me this way but this month............ . Maybe that's the culprit!
My ds broke his arm/wrist yesterday so I'm off to take him for x-rays this morning. There was no techs there last night when I took him. Wish us luck!
2frus, I know how you feel. What drives me crazy is that I can go from absolutely driven to not caring (and then regretting that I stopped caring!) in the span of a few hours. It is as if I have a split personality. At least you've managed to lose 2 pounds in three months. I've been recycling the same pounds over and over - up three, down two, up 2, down 1, etc. - and here I am with these stinking 8 pounds. I'm working hard though and I feel especially confident...for now.
getncontrol - how frustrating that you couldn't get your son taken care of last night! I've never broken a bone before but I have to imagine that it really, really, hurts! I remember being jealous of friends who had casts when I was little. They just seemed so cool. Casts and braces - boy am I glad NOW that I never had to have either! I hope your son is feeling better soon.
I started making a list yesterday comparing how I felt at 134 to how I feel now. It is amazing the difference that a few pounds can make. My sister cleaned out her closet last year and passed down a lot of clothes to me. There were a lot of spring outfits that were sized 4-6. The 6 practically fit - they weren't perfectly comfortable but were wearable. I put them away with the intention of them fitting perfectly by now. Well, they don't. I should have left them hanging up somewhere I could see them everyday. If I had, I might be wearing them right now! I've taken a cute pair of size 4 cropped jeans and hung them prominently in my closet. I WILL get in those pants, damnit!
Poor little tyke Gaylyn And he has got the biggest eyes ever, he's going to be a heartbreaker
Doing ok today - I resisted profiteroles that I got as a "present"
I'm thinking about running 10k tonight... I think I'd like to, but I don't want to tire myself out too much. We'll see how sunny it is when I get home!
Okey Dokey Girls....I'm back after a week or so of teetering on the brink of despair I finally dragged my ever widening behind to a Weight Watchers meeting on Wed. It's been a long time since I've strictly followed the program but it is time to stop fooling around. I've been bouncing back and forth between 140 and 136 for 2 years now and getting nowhere.
I weighed in at 140.6 on Wednesday night (with clothes) which was not as bad as I expected, but not acceptable either. I am now back to following the original WW points program (core system doesn't work for me since I can eat whatever I want within the "legal" foods I tend to eat too much). So far I 'm doing well and have all of my extra points to use for the weekend. I haven't been to the gym at all this week, but am on my way out in a few minutes to do just that.
Wish me luck and send some willpower my way....
Get n Control...your son is beautiful...sorry to see that he is "broken" and I hope he mends soon
I'm doing ok with this weekend thing! I packed lunch! I had cold veggie sausages, babybel lights, cottage cheese pancakes, almonds and raisins and apples! WOO!
I'm home now, been to the farmer's market this morning, I bought rye bread with raisins and something else that I can't remember and I treated myself to a brownie. I can't decide which to eat tonight, since they're both fresh and will probably be best today...
I'm still 165, which is ok, but I need that pound off bt monday to reach my 5lbs by end of April goal! I'm trying!
It's amazing! YAY! And I ate both the rye bread and half the enormous brownie! I didn't go over calories, I didn't binge and I didn't fall off any wagons! And the world didn't come crashing down because I didn't eat pizza!
I'm not going to get complacent though, it could just be a hiccup in the scales! We'll see what happens next time!
I've had a BfL "apple pie" for my breakfast. Very filling, very yummy if a bit carb-heavy (I suppose it was the added raisins ) Not got any concrete plans today but it's quite nice and sunny out so I might drag DF out for a run! It will get him moving and out of bed if nothing else!
And I was so THERE with my mindset yesterday 
. Maybe that's the culprit!
for DS. I can't believe you have to go back AGAIN to get x-rayed. That's really poor! I hope he's in a temporary cast at least for now...
I heard my name all the way over here!! Hey Susan and 2F 
..... Susan, get going and do that cardio... JUST DO IT!! Dang it!!
for you daisimae
