Weigh In #7 - Good Bye 150 lbs.!!!

Woohoo! I broke 150 lbs.!!! Okay, maybe not by much...but still, I'm under 150!!! I didn't quite make my 10# mark but next week, for sure! This has been a great week. I'm so, so proud of myself. I was talking to a friend, who shall remain nameless for now, and she and I talked about the fact that I have very little variety in my meals (at least in terms of breakfast and lunch) and while it doesn't work for everyone, I'm making it work for me. For breakfast, I usually have a smoothie or a latte. At snack, I have fruit or veggies. Then I eat Taco Soup every work day for lunch. I usually plan dinner at the last minute but if I am "stuck" for something to eat, I have oatmeal (I LOVE oatmeal). It is my "emergency" food! LOL The weekends are a little less structured for me, but so far I'm doing alright. If I hit a rut, then I'll mix things up but I don't want to toss something new into the mix if what I'm doing works! I know some people think this isn't a practical way to live, but hey, my old "practical" got me to 170 lbs. Practical doesn't necessarily work for me!

Starting Weight: 169.4 lbs.
Current Weight: 149.6 lbs.

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi...

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming...

Week 7, Day 43 - Weigh In Day!

Starting Weight: 169.4 lbs. Current Weight: 155.4 lbs. Current Week: -2.0 lbs. Total Weight Loss: 14.0 lbs. Wow. That's all I really can say, wow. I am in absolute shock today. I cannot believe I am down 14 lbs. overall. I lost 2 lbs. this week. I think I'm in shock. I shouldn't be though. I stay within my daily points plus range, I track EVERYTHING I eat! I do not exercise, yet. It seems like every time I post, I write that I don't exercise and I really need to. So, today is going to be different. I am going to start my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution today. I was going to start this morning but I have so much to do that this afternoon will have to be soon enough. So, today I learned some things about myself. We talked about portion control in my meeting this morning and it got me thinking. I am actually becoming a PRO at portion control, BUT what I am still missing is eating RIGHT. I still eat a lot of microwave foods or quick eats and that bothers me. Yes, I...
