Week 4 on WW

Weigh in number 4 ...................................... - 3 lbs!!!!!  Holy crap!  This is great, but it's a lot for one week.

I am not having a great feeling about my next weigh-in though.  I'm already up 1.5 lbs from last weigh-in, I weigh every day.  I cannot imagine losing that much plus more in the next 4 days.  We'll see.

I didn't start the challenge as hoped.  I need to crap or get off the pot so to speak with the challenge.

Pardon the shortness of my post.  I'm super PMSy, and I just want to curl up and sleep.

Week 3 on WW

Week three was a challenge for one very important reason:  I did not go grocery shopping or plan our meals; therefore, we ate out a lot, and it showed in my weight loss.  Despite this challenge, I did lose, but only a bit.

Weigh in number 3 ............................................... - 0.5 lbs!?!

I put the ? because I just feel like I could have done so much better.  So, I will definitely plan my meals/grocery shop this week to try to increase the weight loss, and only eat out on Friday night when we normally have our date night.

I ate out A TON this week, we had pizza, Mexican food, Japanese food, BBQ twice, a fancy dinner at Oscar's with wine, it was just insane!  Typing it all out, really makes me feel like I did myself a disservice. 

Milestone?  I hit my first - 5 lb loss!  So, that was fantastic.

Also, I donned a pair of skinny jeans at my dinner party to Oscars, granted, I wore a long shirt to cover tummy and buttocks (hahahaha).

I only power walked once this week.  I suffered a terrible migraine this week, and I worked a ton of hours. 

I set another life changing goal this week too.  I'm going to wear a hair band on my wrist, and each time I feel the need to participate in office gossip or time wasting activity, I'm going to snap it!  I have a good friend who came to the dinner party, and hearing that she thought that I lacked a good work ethic (or was teetering on verge of having a bad one), really made me feel compelled to really try harder to get away from this destructive behavior. 

So, my goal for for next week?  I'm going to begin a fitness challenge posed on my WW group on Facebook.  I'm going to try my hardest to power walk at least 2 x next week, and I am going to continue to track everything I eat. 

I have an ominous feeling that I will most likely have a gain this coming week, but I hope not.  It's just that I ate out SO MUCH this past weekend, and it normally catches up with you!!!!

Week 2 on WW

So, I survived week two on WW, and it wasn't painful at all.  I stayed on plan, splurging on Friday with DH, but still managing to maintain my weight loss and continue losing. 

Weigh in number two................................... - 2.4 lbs!

I power walked twice instead of four times, and I didn't up my at work water intake, but I did drink Crystal Light at home, which I think helps too. 

I signed up for a 5k with my sister and a few friends, the Color Me Rad 5k.  We're super excited.  My sister will run the 5k, but I will not run, I've decided to power walk it. 

She is also throwing a birthday party for me this year (my birthday is in March, I'll be 33) and it's going to be a murder mystery dinner party.  I've ALWAYS wanted to do this, and I cannot wait!

I also decided to set goals in 10 lb increments.  So, here is my reward table:

- 10 lbs:  Pedicure

- 20 lbs:  Keratin Hair Treatment

- 30 lbs:  Brazilian Bikini Wax

- 40 lbs:  Tattoo!!!! - TTC baby # 2

- 50 lbs:  Wedding Dress Shopping (for new wedding photos)

The plan for this week:  Continue the good work, staying on plan, tracking and being honest.  I'm going to try new foods.  I'm going to try and power walk 4 x.  I'm going to try and continue drinking water. 

Wish me luck!

Week 1 on WW

This year, 2013, I decided to try WW weight loss program again.  My sister has lost 60 lbs thus far on WW, with only about 8 lbs left to lose.  She looks so fantastic, I know I'd be a fool not to try to lose weight using the plan as well.

Week 1:  I went grocery shopping for fruits, healthy lunches, healthy proteins and veggies for dinner, salad stuff, etc.  I purchased those two vases and glass beads.  The beads are pink and blue, and there are 40 of them, because I want to lose 40 lbs.  My ultimate goal is to lose that weight by August 2013, because that is when we will TTC baby #2!! 

Drum roll please............................  I lost 2.2 lbs the first week!! 

I stayed on plan all week, being honest about what I ate and tracking ALL my food. 

My goal for week 2 is to add exercise to the mix.  I DLed a power walk mix to my phone, and I will use that to power walk for 30 minutes 4 x next week.  I will continue to stay on plan.  I also want to add drinking water as well, at least 2 plastic cups full at work. 

Wish me luck!
