I had another good day of cleaning today. I am getting rid of silly things that are collecting dust that I have hung onto for sentimental reasons. I have decided that I have my memories, and some things aren't worth keeping.
Diana I think my DH could probably be classified as a hoarder too. It's hard to get him to get rid of stuff especially old clothes and shoes! But he enjoys the house more once I've purged the junk.
Oh, those silly cats waking you up in the night! Every so often one of the car alarms goes off at our house, same reason, cat walking across the car.
kelijpa 48 on a summer morning? That is pretty cold!
Nicholsfamily Congrats on the loss! Sounds like you had a nice day. It's always good to take some time to take care of yourself even it's just shopping.
Syckgirlsfv Small losses add up to bigger losses. I'm sure you will see a bigger loss soon.
MsTibbles I agree, anxiety is hard! I think you are doing well!
Hey all! Been lurking and reading and sending everyone good energy.
Just about to finish my orientation (final meeting today). Also... I'm ever so slowly sneaking towards the 170's! Weighed in at 181.4 today. Super excited!
Had a good day today. Friday is usually take-out night in our house, and I decided it was important to still have a treat whilst still sticking to plan. My mum offered to get my food from my FAVOURITE restaurant, and i made great choices, so I'm really pleased and my tummy is very happy. I am purring.

It's my work weekend, but doesn't look too bad. I'm hoping to be able to squeeze in my 1 and 2 hour bike training rides. Also, spinning class kicked my butt yesterday and I am planning to continue it in addition to my bike rides. It should help with my cardio endurance.

Eyedawn Welcome back and congratulations on your weigh in today.
MsTibbles Sounds like you had a lovely dinner. Good job!
Coolmom You're doing great with your exercise. You put Nutella on ice cream? That sounds tasty.
DH and I went to dinner for my birthday tonight. It was fun. DH loved the new outfit on me. The restaurant was in a hotel. We walked passed several mirrors and I got a glimpse of myself. The mirrors were large and the lighting better than at home. I like the new outfit on me and I'm glad I got it.
I had my regular breakfast and lunch today. I won't post my dinner since it was decadent. Tomorrow is back on plan. I don't know if I should take a few days off from weighing. I only ate my planned meal, no extra going off the deep end eating, but I know it will be a significant gain. I should have a nice little stretch before any other events come up. I want to see if I am able to drop a few pounds in that amount of time. I need to look on my calendar to see when I go back for thyroid labs. I am seriously starting to wonder if something else is going on. Also, my workout for the day was JS indoor jog.
Nothing for last night
This Morning: Oxycise Level 2 workout
I ordered coffee with dessert last night. OOPS! (I can't do caffeine later in the day and I didn't order decaf) They brought a French press. DH had one cup and I had the other 3. OOPS! Needless to say, it took a while for me to get to sleep last night. I woke still feeling full, so I didn't weigh in this morning. I might take a couple days off from weighing.
So, the good news is I jogged for a full half hour thursday morning and did a 3 minute plank today. The bad news is I had pretty bad binges thursday and friday evening/ night. It involved a pint of ice cream, a jar of peanut butter, a ton of pasta, and much more -_- I probably undid the past 2 weeks of work. I am back though, and won't let today become a mess, too. I'm taking today off from physical activity (other than a little pole, maybe). I guess I pulled a muscle in my left leg or something, but it hurts pretty badly. It's been hurting for a week or so now, but it's getting to the point where it hurts to lift my leg to step up onto something. Ugh, it's so frustrating.
I definitely feel bloated, but I'm drinking lots of water and had some grapes for breakfast. I'll eat lightly for the rest of the day. I'm also thinking I will ask my mom to bring a scale up when they visit next weekend. I think it well help keep me accountable and stay focused.
I'll be back later today, for now, I will work on my senior thesis
Another thing I love about staff changes? It messes up my TOM cycle. I can't wait to get this IUD removed so there's no spotting in between. I keep trying to talk DH into a VAS.
I go to the gym as much as possible to look decent for this trip. I have definitely lost a lot of mojo in the past year or two and it's because after 3 years of busting my @ss and still not looking like I even go to the gym makes it discouraging. I'm a size 6 so it could be worse but I can't lose any more weight to save my life.. so I go just to avoid gains at this point.
I know Jillian will give me the results I want but I have to get more fed up I guess. I have tried to restart many times and failed. Problem is I should've never stopped when I was on a Jillian roll 5 nights a week for 3 months, I looked great!
