What?!?!

As I said in my last post I went on vacation last week. We went to Vancouver, BC...well actually a town outside of it, Gibsons. It was a ferry ride over. It was AMAZING! The town was gorgeous, the house we stayed in was right on the water and the whole area is filled with greenery. I wasn't going to be able to track because of internet access. I didn't really want to track that much anyways but was still afraid of gaining too much weight. I figured I would gain since I wasn't tracking. I had my fitbit so I knew how many steps I'd been taking so I had that to help.

My average steps per day were about 4000-5000. Not great, but those steps where stairs and hills. Our house had probably 20 stairs. So we used this going up and down eat day several times per day. Sometimes carrying E and sometimes not. We walked a lot around the town after parking. I know that helped keep the weight off. I did not watch what I ate. I even had gelato one day! We went to Vancouver the last day of our trip. We walked 14,000!!! steps that day! I was feeling fat that night. Even though I ate whatever, I still was silently freaking out over the potential weight I had gained. I thought for sure I had gained at least 2lbs.

Since we were flying home yesterday I decided to start tracking again. I ate fairly well but only went over my points by 2.

So it all comes down to this morning when I went to weigh myself. I was prepared for the 150's. When I left I was 147.6 on my scale. Last Tuesday the day before vacation I was 148.2. I get up, pee, then get on the scale........148.6! WTH!!! I got off, got on again. 148.6. I was so happy. In hindsight the feeling fat was bloat, I guess. I was so happy. I am so happy. I don't have to walk my butt off this week to lose more weight. Yipee!

Now that it's hot sooner, I am going to have to walk sooner. I can't today because E went to sleep last night at 10:30pm! She is still asleep at 8:15. I will resume that tomorrow. :)

Weigh in #7

Each week on Monday and Tuesday morning I get so nervous. Tuesday is the day that my week, in regards to my weight, revolves around. I weigh myself each day but who knows what the scale at WW will say.

I did not eat that great this week. I ate out at a Mexican restaurant and I had a mini cheeseburger with fries yesterday. I only walked once. On the good side I quit buying Diet Coke for the house. I am still doing my Ab Challenge. I am on day 10  oops 13. I also did stuff to compensate for not walking. I went swimming, I cleaned out my car and vacuumed it. I consider that 'cross-training'. I wonder around the stores when I get stuff. I know that walking helps. Any amount of walking, cleaning, etc helps.

So what was my weight? 148.2! That is 13lbs total! What the heck!? I have no idea how I lost 1.6 this week. I know E was going through a growth spurt and nursed a lot more. Who knows, but I will take it.

I will be on vacation this week. We are going to the North West so lots of seafood will be had. I LOVE fresh seafood. I hope I don't gain this week. If not, I will kick it into gear the following week.

Crazy crazy

I did not watch what I ate yesterday. I was okay with gaining weight because I just wanted to eat. I think I went over by 20pts! I got on the scale and it said 148.8!! What the heck?! I lost weight!! Woot!!

Weigh in #6

It was a good weigh in! 149.8! My scale said 149.4 so I was surprised to see it say 149.8. My total weight loss at Weight Watchers is 11.6lbs! Very exciting. I didn't to anything really that different. Just walked and ate better food instead of high point bad foods. I haven't walked since Sunday because I haven't been able to, but I will on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. I'll do my 5 mile workout on Sunday probably. Maybe Monday. I stayed in my points yesterday. I usually go over but I wanted a good weigh in. :)

I started the 30 Day Ab Challenge. I know that you won't be able to seeee the results of the abs because I still have a layer of fat on top of them, but I like feeling the burn in my legs and abs the next day. I actually have been doing the workout twice a day. I have my hubby doing it with me also. He asked to join me.

a couple of things

First of all I am typing with one hand. I have E in my left arm on the bed. :)

My scale finally hit below 150!!!! It was 149.6 this morning! This makes for a happy mama!! My weight loss has slowed down so it's hard to see that my workouts and eating is still making progress. I have pair of pants that does fit better. I also feeeel smaller. I am really obsessive over the scale. Which I know could seem like a problem but I am not consumed with it.

My kids are out of school now so I am going to have to take them to meetings. I have decided to bribe them with QT slushies to be quiet while there. haha I am not above it. I wont be able to walk as much as I've said before but I guess I could stay under my points every day. ;) Walking has been my help because I do go over 2-3 points per day.

My face has been breaking out more than normal right now. I have no idea why but it's really annoying. Oh the first world problems I have are so overwhelming! haha

Yesterday

I ate WAY over my points yesterday. I even had a Dr. Pepper before bed. I just didn't care. I knew I'd gain weight but I was willing to accept that. I got on the scale this morning and it was the same as yesterday! :) I have been down about the slowing of the weight loss so this small thing helped.

Weigh in #5

My scale this morning said 150.6. I guess I am now stuck in the 150.0's. ;)

The Weight Watcher's scale said 151.4. So total weight loss for WW is 9.8lbs! Yay! I was hoping I would get the extra .2 so I could have my 10lbs but I'll hopefully get it next week.

My older 2 kids get out school this week. I am secretly worried because I am not going to have time to walk M-W because they will be with me. It would be too much of a hassle to have them come with me. They would complain. Plus it's my quiet time. They go to their dad's house T-F. They will be with their dad for most of June so I will have a chance to work out during that time.

I have been eating a lot this week but I am pretty sure my walking/jogging has been helping keep the weight off. I walked/jogged for 5.08 miles yesterday. It took me 1:08! :) I was pleased with myself. On Sunday we met our friends to run at 7am. I ran for a little while but walked most of it. It was just nice for us to get out. I also hit my highest steps ever yesterday: 14,114!

Here's to getting in the 140's next week! :)
