Wednesady Weigh In

So, deciding not to weigh myself last Friday makes it a little hard to say what kind of weight loss I had this week. I do know that my total weight loss is now down to 9 lbs. Honestly, I am happy with this. I thought throwing caution to the wind for two weeks would result in worse numbers. I am also 1 lb. lighter than I was hoping for. This is not too shabby since I had a hard time being faithful to my diet. This week I am going for the gold and am not going to cheat. If I can lose 2 lbs. my middle number will change and I will be back up to an 11 lb. overall weight loss.

Spin

Okay tomorrow is the day of truth and this week was definitely not perfect. However, I did go to spin today for the first time in months. The class was 45 minutes long and I didn't pass out so that's a plus.

S'mores

The pool party was a ton of fun. Although, I did eat bread and pasta. I ate before six and did 22 pool laps and 20 diving board pull ups after. I don't know if this will help me on weigh in day or not. However, I didn't want to be that person that goes on vacation to see family but still has to visit the gym everyday. I also wouldn't really class this as exercise since I wasn't really breathing hard and am not sore today. I will add that s'mores were offered and I did not have any. It actually wasn't hard at all turning them down. I have another pot luck tonight but I am planning to eat before I go, so there will probably be nothing to report tomorrow.

Ice Cream

I can't seem to stay away from the ice cream.  Yesterday I did great until my family decided it was ice cream time. I did cut my portion in half but I still had some. I guess maybe I should rethink my 3 lbs. a week expectations. Today I will be going to a pool party complete with pasta, bread, and treats. I'll let you know how badly that goes tomorrow.

Deviation

I am not going to lie, yesterday was rough. These are not excuses just merely facts about yesterday. I stayed on target until about 3:00 p.m. My house was 89 degrees and I succumbed to a coffee mug of ice cream. Then at 3:40 p.m. the repairman fixed the problem and I was free to leave my sauna. I went to Melissa's and floated in her wonderfully cool pool for about an hour. Having cooled off, I headed home but cringed at the thought of having to cook over a hot stove. Upon Creek's request we had the big M for dinner. I deviated from my plan and had a 10 piece meal complete with coke. Today, I am back on track and hope to stay that way. I have yet to exercise, so I better get on it if I want to be ready for gate to gate.

Scary Photo Friday

As you can see I decided to bare it all this Friday, and there was a lot to bare. Today is the new start of my no bread, no rice, no candy lifestyle. I should also note that it is the first day of summer, my air conditioner is broken and the temptation to eat ice cream is big. I do not know how much I weigh as I am saving that delight for Wednesday, and hoping for a number that does not make me want to crawl in a hole and never come out. (Ha ha) In the meantime I am hoping for a 3lb. a week weight loss for all ten weeks of summer. I know 2lbs. a week is healthy and normal but I am aiming for a little more. If I am successful I will go into the new school year being the lightest I have been since having Evan. Wish me luck......I will need it!

 

 

Weigh In Wednesday

In one week and one day I have lost 9 lbs! Monday was so hard I almost threw in the towel. I wanted to eat bread, cereal, pasta, the whole pantry, you know how it goes. I know this pace won't last so I am enjoying it while I can. Also, yesterday was the first day I  kinda exercised this week. I swan 11 laps in a regular pool. It got my heart rate up, but it wasn't a real workout.

Banana Bread

So, I made banana bread for the kids and maybe had a slice. I am only documenting that so when Weigh in Wed. comes I'll know why I don't like the numbers. On a side note, Evan asked, "What smells so good mama?"  I said banana bread was cooking, and he cheered. That made my whole day I swear. I know it sounds trivial, but it was so cute.

Baring It All

I thought I would get the ball rolling. I need to lose 83 lbs. This number might be a little high, as I am aiming for the weight I was when I got married. Last Tuesday I stopped eating sweets, rice, bread, and pasta. I have already lost 7 lbs. Yesterday I walked 2 miles and today I biked 4.5. That's all the exercise I've done all week. Hopefully, next week will be better. I am aiming to run gate to gate (4.2 miles) without stopping. I don't know how far I can run right now because it has been quite some time since I broke out the running shoes.
