Last Monday, August 11, I stopped eating pasta, bread, and junk food. As a result I am up to 13 lbs. total weight loss. I went to Zumba twice last week. I also tried Crossfit the week before. I did like it but it is more money than I want to spend right now.

I am back down to a 10lb. total weight loss. (Wednesday weigh in.)

Wednesday.....Not My Favorite Day

So, I decided to eat anything I wanted this week because I am working out more regularly. The result was a 3 lb. gain. I have still lost 8 lbs. overall but I am definitely yoyo-ing. I would love to think I gained 3 lbs. of muscle but you an I both know that's not true.

P.S. I am beginning to hate Wednesday's.

I am back down to a 11lb. weight loss. This is in spite of the fact that I have been terrible at staying away from junk food. I also think I am gaining muscle, whenever I do this I tend to gain a little weight. Overall, I am happy with today's weigh in. I did not have any candy yesterday, although it was calling to me at 9:00 p.m. Let's see how long my willpower can hold out this time.

Due to the rain, not owning a pool, and having our immune system get a little run down when we swim too much, we will not be getting 100 swimming hours this summer. However, I will continue to keep track until swimming season is over. This week I have gone to Zumba and Spin and finally feel like I have a little muscle to help me out. Yesterday I put so much effort into Spin my feet felt like bricks and my legs were silly putty. Today I feel like I was hit by a Mack truck, but in a good way. I also have an awesome Spin Instructor who calls me out every time she sees me slacking. It is 100% brutal and I love it. I am SUCKING at the diet thing as usual. I wasn't going to do Gubler Mommy's Weirdo Plan but I think starting today I will. However, I will be keeping these miles separate from the exercise miles.

Weigh In Wednesday

I am down six pounds so far, but I am still two pounds away from where I was before I got pregnant with L. Which sounds good, except I lost 30 pounds while pregnant with her. When I breastfeed, the pounds just pack on! It totally sucks. Anyway, hopefully I can combat this  a little bit. I am tempted to do a Herbal life kind of diet for the next two weeks, because I can already feel the judgefest happening in Denver. Oh, well!

Gubler Mommy's Weirdo Plan

Kathryn named my health plan as you can probably tell. Here it is:

First person to reach 500 miles of exercise wins $25. Every 15 minutes of exercise equals 1 mile, or the actual miles you run, walk, bike, etc...
No soda
No candy
No fast food
Homemade treats are okay. This means ingredients mixed together from scratch. No eating half a bag of marshmallows from the cupboard.
Kids drink 80 oz of water (adjust accordingly) Adults drink 120 oz (or half of your body weight in ounces).
Each candy or soda infraction is -1 mile. Fast food is -5 miles. Each water goal reached is +1 mile.
