Weigh In #15 - late

It's been a crazy week. I'll start with my weigh in from Tuesday.

143.2 -.2. Bleh. I am happy I didn't gain, but I am annoyed that my weight is coming off really slowly. I am still on track to get to my goal weight by the time E is 1, but still.

This week I have only tracked one day. I have not gone too crazy but I just needed to give myself a break from tracking. Even if I gain weight, I needed a mental break from it. I've worked really hard the last 15 weeks. I had a personal thing happen on Wednesday that got my adrenaline going and I had a skin cancer removed on Thursday. I didn't eat from 8pm - 4pm the next day.

Hubby and I walked this morning (1.77m) so I am glad we did something active. So even if I gain this week I will be okay because mentally I am better. Though my scale doesn't have me gaining weight. I am around 141.2-142.2. I was 142.2 this morning. :)

I have no title today

I am starting this post with out a title. I feel like writing but I don't really know what this is about yet. I do know that I am finally staying in the 142's. I feeeeel lighter. I feel better. I was thinking the other day I do not feel tired at 2-3 in the afternoon like I used to. I don't really know why that is different. I used to work 8-5 and be at a desk most of the day. Now I stay at home so I am more active during the day. The kids start school in 2 weeks, which I am definitely ready for, and I can get into a walking routine again. I have walked 3 times this week. I was going to walk this morning but I was lazy.

We went over to my sister's house last night for my mom's birthday. I ate over my points on Wednesday so I was doing my best to stay in my points yesterday. Hubby and I met with some people for his work and we went to Whiskey Cake. They do not have healthy options. I just ended up getting a burger. I ate the twisty fries too. I knew I shouldn't have but I did. I also could not find the nutrition fact anywhere. I had to guess. Annoying. Whatever.

My hubby tells me all the time I am getting skinnier. He is seeing it more and more. I am glad he says it unprompted. My sister and her husband also told me they haven't seen me this skinny in a long time. It honestly made me feel so good. I have worked hard on losing this weight and people are noticing. Hell, I've lost almost 20lbs since April.

It's weird to think I might actually get to my goal weight. I have been wanting to get to this weight since I had my almost 5 year old. :)

Weigh In #14

When I have been with Weight Watchers for 16 weeks I will get a little charm. I guess they say that once you've made it to 16 weeks you have a new habit. :)

My scale said 142.9. Finally!! Even if it's just barely in the 142's.

Weight Watchers: 143.4. Weight loss of .4. Not bad. I talked to the lady for a little bit about feeling stuck. She gave me a few suggestions. Add some dairy. So I am eating one yogurt per day. I am not a yogurt eater but I need to do try something different since my body is stuck. I told her I eat eggs for breakfast every morning. She said add 2 egg whites to your one egg. I also have a goal to eat no fast food. I will eat Sonic Tater Tots because they are only 3 points and it's quick when I am out.

I did not count my points yesterday because I was frustrated. Guess what the scale said this morning? 142.6! I lost! Haha. So we will see if this works.

Feeling good

I am feeling good right now. Mostly. I am still in the 143's, which is driving me nuts! But I knew I needed to change something. I walked the last 2 days. Both days I walked 1.65 miles. I was SORE last night. I had to take some ibuprofen. I went to the splash pad with the kids today. I cleaned the house up. Did laundry. And I stayed in my points...mostly. ;)

I haven't been this dedicated to my weight loss in a while. Probably since the last time I was stuck. So we shall see how my weigh in goes tomorrow. :)

Feeling discouraged

I am feeling discouraged today. Mostly because I am not at my goal weight yet. I am not even close. Closer than I was, but I am kinda in the middle of a pity party today. Plus all I have wanted to do today is eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. I am still in my points today but I just want to eat. I really need to go to a WW meeting. I will make it a point of doing that next week. Also, I need to find a time to work out.

I threw away my scale that is being dumb. It hasn't moved under 144.2 in a few days. The other one has me a pound lower than that. So I decided to just toss it. Plus it was a cheap scale anyways.

Weigh in #13

I can't believe I forgot to post my weigh in from Tuesday!

Home weight: 143.8
Weight Watchers: 143.8

Total weight loss: -17.4

I get scared every week that I am going to gain. My scale at home is stupid. I should just put it away and use the one that seems to be more accurate. I have been stuck in the 143/144 for the past 2 weeks so I guess that is one reason why I am scared I am going to have gained. I am itching to work out, but have not been motivated enough to do it. I still walk between 4000-5000 steps per day. I clean up the house and do laundry. Sometimes with E in my arms. I know that helps.

What do I do to sabotage myself? BAKING I love to bake. Cookies, banana bread, all the yummy stuff. But it's so easy. And it's so easy to eat.

I will keep plugging along.
