Ooooopss!

So today I was CRAVING some pasta. I didn't know what to do and well the poppyseed dressing, chicken and lettuce with the melba toast wasn't looking like pasta of any sort. So.... I cheated. A co-worker of mine loves spaghetti. We used to eat together at least twice a week. Now we never eat together. Today my last day at work before we are off for a week I took her to her favorite spaghetti place (she doesn't venture outside of a certain little area for her lunch cause she gets lost easily!) And normally I would have gotten this large plate of spaghetti, but today I got a small side salad with mustard vinegrette dressing, and about 1/2 cup of this very yummy pasta salad. OMG it was great. I totally enjoyed that.

I fully expected me to eat dinner, but through a couple distractions at work, I ended up not getting home until about 10pm. Oh and I had forgotten all my supplements for the day at home. So today not only did I cheat but I missed 2 boosts and 1 meal. I had my protein bar and drink when I got home.

Now how will this affect me in the morning? I don't know. I know that I am tired right now, and I am going to go to bed. I also know that I am going to get up and go workout at the college tomorrow morning, then come home and write a paper, and then start cleaning the house.

Good night peoples!

I can't believe

It is Wednesday already! Time flies when you are having fun! I weighed in yesterday though it was supposed to be Monday, I am behind on school work with a test tonight that I am not ready for. This was supposed to be a nice relaxing week after an event but no not really happening. Luckily I have next week off except for one meeting.

Ok for the weight. I lost 1.5 since Friday. That is ok with me, but need it to be another 2.5 by this Friday. Work outs are going pretty well. I am stressed so they are actually helping a little I think. I am supposed to go today to get back on the Monday Wednesday Friday, but I have so much to do including study for that stupid test! I wish I had a remote like that in the movie Click!

Oh and they moved me to plan III and said that they may move me to plan II after some more weight is gone but I think that might not happen being that I am working out 4 days a week now. Maybe if I stop working out we would want to reduce the starch and fruit more but. Plan III is just less milk and now cheese in the morning instead of an egg on three days a week.

Well enough chatting, off I gooooooo.....

Sunday, ugh.

I would have liked to enjoy this day a little more. I just finished one part of homework, but I have a ton of other homework. I hate admitting it I have to get it done, I have a test coming up. This is going to be a long week, no really a really really long week. I am not looking forward to it at all.

I am hoping that I will get the magically 3 lbs. If I don't and continue to lose 2 lbs per week there is no way that I will reach the goal of 62 lbs lost in 19 weeks.

After the Friday of lunch off plan and no dinner then Saturday lunch off plan. This morning was a little bit heavier but not too bad. I am going to go work out tomorrow at a different location due to trying to take Monday off since I worked Friday. Well I guess it is time for me to start working on the other homework. It is cold again so I think I am going to skip the walk this weekend.

Friday

Well the work event is over yesterday made the weeks total 2.5lbs. I didn't eat on plan very well yesterday too much running around. I was disappointed with the work stuff yesterday but I am over it today.

I am about to go in for my last working night of my regular extra job. I wish I could stay home and work on my homework. It is finally raining here to get rid of some of the nasty pollen.

So I am down to a total of 14.5 lbs since starting. I was told to try to increase this a little more. We will see how week 7 goes since I have added my exercise in.

Wish me luck. Hello week 7!!!!

I should have logged yesterday... oops

Ok so I am a day late, and more than a dollar short.

I weighed in yesterday and was able to lose 1.5 lbs the working out seems to be the key for me. I should be down 3 lbs this week. Which then puts me back at losing 2.5lbs/week.

Today I got to do some of my old job and it felt GOOD. Then I came home and tried to catch up on homework while being sociable with my family. I still have more todo and I have the event tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be fun, I have an assignment due by 5, I have the event that I will be finishing up the planning. Food is not cooked for tomorrow so... I guess I will be eating a salad from Wendy's and a meal shake. I need to pack a change of clothes for tomorrow too... I guess I better go to bed. I do need to weigh in tomorrow too!

Tuesday Weigh in

I know I know. I normally do a Monday weigh in. But I decided because of some choices made over the weekend to wait until today. They measured again too and said that I had lost some in inches but she was pulling it pretty tight and I know that I haven't lost that much in inches due to the clothes. I did post 1/2lb lose so at the start of week 6 I am officially down 12 and 1/2 lbs. I hope this week is better than the others. I have started an hour of cardio in the mornings. I need to get up a little bit earlier but it is not too bad. I am 10 lbs away from what I started the fall semester at last year. That is crazy that I gained that much weight in such a short period of time.

Husband and I talked a bit this past week about me trying to be more part of the family. It is hard when I work Monday through Thursday, and Monday and Wednesday I don't get home till 8 or later. Thursday I tend to work late to get all of my hours in at work. So yeah. I don't know if the choice that I made to switch positions at work was a good idea but here I am and I have to put in 2 more years. So as I have done and will do, just continue on and as a friend reminded me to do today, keep failing forward.

Fun Friday..

I had so much homework today. I think this semester is killing me with homework.  I hate accounting more than anything it looks like I have barely a "B". I still have more homework left in accounting and I some in econ and a little in business.  I am ready for this semester to be over!


The reason I blog is because of my weight loss journey.  Husband has gained a little weight over the last couple days they say it is water weight he is frustrated because they took away a fruit and a starch for two days.  I however, woke up and weighed the same as I did yesterday, did some homework and then got dressed and decided to weigh again just to see.. this was after breakfast so I was expecting that I would have had a little more weight, however I was 2 lbs lighter! Now we will see what tomorrow morning brings.  I think I will go for a hike tomorrow morning. Monday I would like to start working out in the gym at work.

The psychological profile of dieting from QWLC

At first I was very excited to get this when I started this process.... however, now that I have it.  It sucks.  Hubby's is closer my is way off  It said I was a stress eater, which is in correct, I was a stress drinker, which I don't do any more, and if I have stress I actually won't eat. So as far as I am concerned the diet profile is a bunch of poo.

Now weight loss for the week.  I am not weighing in today as I normally do this week is a little mixed up do to the training for work.  I lost a 1/2 lb according to one center and 1.5 to the other.  According to my scale I lost 1.2.  Not happy again, but I am kinda getting used to the 1 to 2 lbs.  It sucks because I am not on the 3.5 lbs per week, but hey that is alright too.  I am going to start exercising on Monday, well I will hopefully get to hike this weekend too. I have a lot of homework that I am taking a second away from now to blog, so it is time for me to get back.  This next week according to the center I should be below 200.  At least at home I am below, and should soon be out of the 190s.

Till next time. Yeahwelluknow

This is a special day....

I am blogging twice.  Like I have said before dieting, or as I am trying to look at this as a change in lifestyle for food, really effects everything in your life.  I wonder sometimes is it possible?  I have lived my life "this" way for 35 years, is it going to be possible to change?

Tuesday weigh-in instead of Wednesday...

I didn't want to go weigh in today, but was happy when I weighed on the scale at home and was a half pound lighter than I have been since this started.... so I happily go weigh in... only to find yet again no weight loss.  So now taking away a fruit and a starch. As the hubby said it only makes sense for me to not eat exactly what he eats in is a good number of pounds heavier than me.  I am still hoping to lose 3 lbs this week that would but me at 3lbs/week again. 

One more day of training.  I am still thinking about starting to workout because this is just not going as smoothly as I hoped without the exercise.

I am a little behind on the school work but hopefully I will get caught up tonight.

Monday. 03/14

Interestingly enough I didn't gain the 1/2 lb that I normally do, but I didn't lose any weight.  What is weird I am still not worried.  Considering I was losing weight at the beginning of this and I didn't lose anything over the weekend.

I had a great time hiking on Sunday, a little sore but it was fun going out with Aleace.  I was walking the campus today and thought how well she is going to fit in here. I look forward to her getting to some place out of high school. 

So I am in training at work this week, I will weigh in tomorrow because I won't be in town for the Wednesday normal weigh in.  I see the 100s in site but they seem to be eluding me.  I am looking forward to working out.

No Weight loss???? WHAT!

This is week 4 and I lost nothing this week.  There was a lot of issues this week, cheated last Sunday, emotions were great with lots of family junk, so I guess it was a lesson. So here we go week 5!!!! I am not counting my chickens yet.  I am hoping for some big number.  Going to have some stress this next week too, work will be fun training and event for work so should be GREAT! Oh yeah and Spring break is over this week.  Well that is all I have for this blog...

Ugh

Sometimes dieting is not about what you put in your body, sometimes it is what you think.  I am trying to have a positive view. I am trying.  Some of the things that I have used before to help with stress are not there.  Sometimes when other people are dieting around you they are having some of the same issues too.  I am frustrated there is no doubt about that.  I am tired, I am not saying that I want to be chipper and bubbly or that person that always says, "Good Morning." I am just saying I want to be happy.  I know I am pushing myself to do a lot of things right now.  I know most people change one thing in their life at a time.  I changed jobs about a year ago (working full time), I go to school full time, I am still a mom of 1 and part time helper with 2 others, and I try to be a good wife.

I am not defending the arguement that started for some unknown reason. But I am asking for a break, and maybe people that are close to me should be the one that help me.  I am sorry that I am going through emotional changes.  I would love to say I was wrong for complaining about an unexpected but a preventable expense, but I don't think that I was wrong. 

I started this blog to write about a diet and I have found that it is more than a diet, this is my life.  I am still 200 + lbs according to the center's scales.  I would like to see the lower 190's by the end of this week but well not eating food is not neccessarily a good thing for me, I am hoping that I will see a 3.5 lb weight loss this week.

End of week 3

The average is now down to 3.8 lbs per week but all in all I am still happy.  Still nervous for the start of week 4.  I am curious how this is affecting me.  I started on this weight loss journey to find my body from before.  I had tried so many things before so here I am.  This journey is beginning to shape up into something more, I believe. Where it will end I am wondering? I don't know but I am going to do my best at enjoying this journey and learning more about yeahwelluknow!
