Finally!

I was getting really frustrated there for a couple of weeks! All I wanted this morning was to be under what I've been for the past 2-3 weeks. Turns out I lost 2.8 pounds! I needed that to keep going!!

Gotta run to get to yogalates on time!

another weekend

Friday: The day time was good, I had intentions of working out before work since I didn't work out Thursday morning, but woke up with a migraine and just couldn't do it. I knew we were going to a concert with Jay and Becky so I fully planned on using some flex points that night. We went to leeann chin for dinner, and then had some beers at the concert. I was feeling ok with myself even when we went to the vad after and kept drinking, I kept telling myself, "It's one night, it's ok." Then someone came up with the idea of going to taco bell after the vad. I had a nacho's bell grande and a bean burritto. I knew this wasn't a good choice, but for some reason did it anyways.

Saturday: Got up and went to class, got home and tracked all the points I had eaten the night before. Not pretty. The taco bell ALONE was 25 points. That is how many points I'm supposed to have in one day...sick...but it happened and now there's nothing I can do about it but work that much harder the rest of the week until weigh in. We walked around the mall of america with art and jana for about 2 hours in the afternoon and went out for dinner afterwards. We ended up going to grumpy's and I had a southwest chicken salad and a cup of wild rice soup.

Sunday: Got up and went to the gym, got my cardio in. Took mom and nana to olive garden for lunch for nana's birthday. I had linguini marinara with whole wheat linguini (and only ate half). Had a lot of salad. Also, had 4 bread sticks :(.
However, I am sitting at home and refusing to go meet up with nic and the family for the sake of not drinking my points away. I had soup, peas, fruit, and cottage cheese for dinner and stayed right on track with points for the day.

Overall not a HORRIBLE weekend. Hoping to have finally lost some weight again this week. We will see...

Meh...

Well I said I would be happy as long as I didn't gain any weight so I suppose I have to be happy today. I stayed at where I was last week. It's discouraging but when I really think about how bad this last weekend was, I truly am greatful that I didn't gain anything. Just going to have to keep workin' on it and hope for better results next week!

Week 5

Tomorrow morning is weigh-in. I'm totally up in the air about this one. On the one hand I feel like I totally failed this weekend and ate lots of bad shit. On the other hand I feel like I've been working really hard this week and feel like I could redeam myself. Honestly, after the weekend I had I'll be happy as long as I don't gain.

We'll see what happens in the morning!

So bad

This weekend sucked. I mean SUCKED. Totally my fault too. I knew that Saturday wasn't going to be a good day (nana's b-day party and october fest at night) but it actually ended up being the best day of all....

Friday was supposed to be a nice evening at home...but the Scharber's had other plans, so instead of having baked mac and cheese for dinner and watching a movie at home I had about 8-10 beers for dinner and topped it off with a ham and cheese omelette at Perkins at around 11:00. Great...should have stuck to my guns and gone home to make dinner like I said I was going to.

All night Friday I kept saying how I was going to be so hung over and there was no way I was going to make it to power pump the next morning. Well I DID go to power pump...had to show that late night omelette who's boss! Then it was over to mom's for some chicken noodle soup before heading down to the farm. Last year they had lasagna for lunch down there but this year it was shredded beef sandwiches so it wasn't SO bad, and we didn't end up going to October Fest, we went to green mill where I tried yet another YUMMY option from their eating fit menu (seriously, best place to eat out when you're on a diet). Then we just went over to Nikita's house and hung out.

Yesterday was a shitty day for it's own reasons, then to add to it I decided I needed to stuff my face full of food. We went to lunch with Nikita (mistake number 1) and ordered nachos (mistake number 2). Then when I got home from lunch and shopping I decided I needed to have snacks (which I wasn't hungry for, mistake number 3). The one upside to the day was that I did go work out, I was quite proud of myself. We both decided we weren't hungry for dinner, then Nic decided he was hungry for dinner and made a pizza (which I ate two slices of, mistake number 4). Then we went over to my mom's and I decided popcorn was in order (seriously?! WTF if wrong with me??? Mistake number 5).

So basically today I'm trying to focus on the fact that today is a new day, this week is a new week. No excuses, I did what I did and now I have to get over it and get back on track.

Thursday

Well I feel a little better today, I weighed myself this morning and I was down 1 pound exactly to what I weighed LAST Wednesday, which is fine by me.
Last night I went to the Wild game and was not looking forward to eating all that bad food but it turns out we had club level tickets so there was an actual sit down resturaunt there. I had a greek salad wrap and salad. I did treat myself to a little chocolate soft serve however...

Plateau

Well it was bound to happen soon...
The dreaded plateau.
I gained 0.2 pounds this week.

I'm trying not to get too discouraged, but it's hard not to. I worked hard this week, and looking at it day by day this week looks a lot like last week, and last week I lost 4 pounds.

Who knows, it happens, and I've still lost over 8 pounds in four weeks so I'm still proud of what I did. I'm just nervous because I know this weekend is not going to be good. I have nana's 95th birthday on Saturday AND we're going to Oktober fest that night. I guess the good thing is that it's all on the same day so it'll be one day and it's done.

We'll see what happens....
