Thursday

I woke up thinking today was Friday...that was a dissapointment to say the least...

Went to bed with a headache, woke up with a headache...good times...

Hopefully the day can only get better from here on out...

Got up and worked out this morning (after a big fight inside my head, "stay in bed", "go work out"...and on and on.

Gotta get to work...exciting stuff huh?

Day Three...moment of truth

So...I got on the scale this morning. We've been working on our relationship for a few days now and I think it's paying off! I lost 1.8 pounds this week (more than stupid Dan from Biggest Loser mind you!) and I'm feeling pretty darn good about that!

Today's going good. Nothing super stressful at work, getting stuff done which is nice.

Welp, gotta go...tryin me out some acupuncture today...have I mentioned I'm afraid of needles? Yeah...great

Day 2, take 2

The rest of the day went GREAT! lot's of water (and I mean LOTS of water), good eats, and lots more water.

We'll see what tomorrow holds!

Day 2

Day two is off to a good start! Woke up this morning and went to the gym...I'm now one of "those". I worked out, showered, and got ready for work. It actually works out really well for me on Tuesdays and Thursdays since I don't have to be at work until 10. I don't have to wake up horribly early (ok not early at all) and have plenty of time to work out and get ready. I also get to read when I'm on the eliptical which is pretty much the only time I read any more so all in all it's a nice way to start my morning!

Stayin' positive is the name of the game. Tonight Biggest Loser is on, which is always good motivation and tomorrow is weigh-in number 1 for this girl.

Biggest temptation so far: going to Chipotle yesterday and just getting an iced tea...I think I can do this no eating out for two week thing, but by far I am going to miss Chipotle the most.

Day 1

Day 1...not too bad...

Started off strong, good attitude good eating.  Then a patient brought us brownies...so what did I do, I ate 2 of them...

I felt AWEFUL

But then I went and worked out and now I don't feel so bad.  I'm not going to eat much for dinner.

All in all, not a horrible day, not a great day.

Last Supper

Well tomorrow's the big day!

This weekend was good and bad...On Friday night we went to Magianno's for dinner which was AMAZING, then we went and got Joey's birthday present and I bought my last article of clothing for a while.  Then on Saturday we went and worked out and then went [healthy] grocery shopping.  Today was Easter and I ate like a pig, but tomorrow it starts.

Plan for this week:

1) Stick to eating right, track EVERYTHING on weight watchers.

2) Work out (Monday after work, Tuesday and Thursday before work, and Saturday or Sunday)

3) DRINK LOTS OF WATER!

4) Stay positive! and be excited about this!

F.E.D. U.P.

It's true, my friendship with the scale is a tricky one.  We were worst enemies for many many years, until I decided to make nice with it a few years ago.  Since then (winter 2005?) we've had quite the roller coaster relationship!

Most recently?  I joined weight watchers online in January 2007 and lost 35 pounds over the course of about 10 months...awesome right?  Right.  Until the holidays came along.  I got lazy, it really has nothing to do with the holidays except that they were my excuse.  I told myself that in January I would get back on track, and I did for about 3 days. 

Basically at this point I'm F.E.D. U.P.  

I'm done being lazy, I'm sick of hating the scale, I want to be friends with it again!

So we had a talk this morning, me and the scale.  She told me what she needs me to do to make this relationship work:

1)  Stop eating out, cold turkey.  2 weeks of NO eating out, after that, add it back in but only "guiltless grills" and salads.

2) Get off your @$$.  Join the gym again.  As much as I hate spending money on something I can do outside for free, I find I do much better when I'm paying money for something (like that weight watchers subscription that I haven't used in 3 months??)

3) Get back online.  Weight watchers online that is.  

So, there it is.  It's a give and take relationship.  I give her what she needs, she gives me a ton of satisfaction.

Now, I also need personal motivation to make this work.  My motivation?  NO NEW CLOTHES UNTIL I'VE LOST 10 POUNDS.  For real.  This is quite possibly one of the best motivational tools for me.  I buy clothes like they're going out of style (no pun intended).  I do it without even realizing it.  I know I will feel much better in the clothes I buy if I look better in them. 

So that's it.  Sounds easy right? HA!  But I can do it, I've done it before, I'll do it again.
