CHALLENGING MYSELF!!

This week I am going to challenge myself. It is going to be hard but I am determined to do it.

When I first joined WW, I didn’t own a scale. So every week when I went to WI, it was a surprise to me how well I did on the scale. Of course I could tell if I was a little up because I could feel it in my body. But then I asked for a scale for xmas of 2009. Then my life changed. I began obsessed with weighing myself ALL.THE.TIME.

At first my scale matched up with my scale at WW, so it was great. I knew exactly how much I gained or loss each week before I went to the meeting on Tuesdays. Then all of a sudden my scale didn’t match up with theirs. So I changed the batteries in mine, nope still didn’t change, it still didn’t match up. So I went out and bought a new scale. Now I have two scales at home in two different bathrooms that tell me two different numbers. Can you see where obsession comes in?

You become obsessed with the numbers that they tell you. If your, up you get disappointed. If you are down, you are happy. But then when you weigh yourself 3 hours later and you are up again you get disappointed.

~The Challenge~

I am locking away my scales for a week. I am not going to weigh myself at all this week. When I step on the scale on Tuesday morning it will be like the old days. A complete surprise.

I can do it! I just have to keep telling myself that!!!!!

 

Does anyone else weigh themselves way too much?

Weigh In Tuesday!

 

Well today was my weekly WI. Last week I STS, so I was hoping for a loss. I was secretly hoping for a big loss.

So when I stepped on the scale it read :

 

 

-1.4 pounds!!

I was hoping for more, but it’s ok, it’s a loss!! Not a gain!

I have to lose 1.8 to get to 180 pounds! Let’s see if I can do it!!

Weekend recap!

Well weekend is now done and over with. I can’t say that I even had an excited weekend or even did anything productive. TOM showed up this weekend which usually makes me feel like crap.

I spent most of yesterday just lazing around watching Olympics and reading my book and of course surfing the net.

On the plus side the weather has been great here, well great for it still being winter. But the sun has been shining both days with gives a nice warmth to me when I am outside. I long for warmer days.

Tomorrow is Monday, I plan to head to the gym right after to work, to get in one” last chance workout” in before my weigh in on Tuesday.

 

Sorry this post is really kind of boring.

 

On to watch more Olympics!

 

GO CANADA GO!!

Weigh in Results!

Well I honestly didn’t know what to expect at this weigh in, after my little vacation away, plus having 10 days off work. I was out of my normal routine. So I stepped on the scale it read:

 

 

0 loss—stayed the same!

I am little disappointed, but then again I could of gained.

 

Last week when I got home from my little vacation I set a plan, and it seemed to work. So this week I am going to do the same thing, set a plan.

 

~The Plan~

Track,

Exercise at 3 times, 4 would be better.

Get all my water in.

Got my groove back!

Well I think I finally got my groove back in the exercise department. I made a plan when I got back from my little vacation that I would exercise all four days before my WI on Tuesday morning.

Well it’s Monday today and I have stuck to my plan. Friday I went to the gym and did 1 hour of cardio. Saturday and Sunday I went in the basement and did 45 of cardio on the treadmill. And today I did 1 hour of intense cardio on the elliptical and treadmill at the gym. I felt great today when I left the gym.

Let’s hope it pays off in my WI tomorrow.

 

I read ALOT of blogs and I get inspired to read about how all you fit exercise in your daily life. Like Krista she loves going to the gym on a regular basis. She loved to do spinning. Something that I am terrified to do. Then miss Sarah Lou is doing the couch to 5k program on her own. She seems to be doing great at it.

 

Sometimes when I read people’s blogs, I feel that my exercise is no where compared to others. I do like to exercise and I know that it does help me on the scale. I just go in lazy mode. Sometimes I need an extra push.So I might have to ask for push sometimes. And hopefully you can all help me out.

 

Be back tomorrow with my WI results.

 

Happy Family Day!!!

Back from my little vacation!

 

Yesterday my husband and I got back from our little getaway to Toronto. We only live 40 mins north of the city but to us it seems so far away. I guess because it is so big and so much to do in Toronto that we wanted to do most of it. We only really go to the city about 3 times a year. Usually for sporting events, or concerts.

 

First of all our seat to the Toronto Raptors were AMAZING. We had courtside. Second row in. We couldn’t believe the great seats that we got from a friend.

 

Eating, well there was lots of it. But I think I did pretty good.Yes maybe there was a couple of things that I should of thought twice about putting into my mouth. But what is done, is done. I did weigh myself this morning and I actually think I only gained about .6. But a lot of it probably a little retention. I am not going to dwell to much on it. What ever the scale says on Tuesday I will take.

 

~The Plan~

 

The plan is to exercise all four days until my weigh in on Tuesday. Plus track all my food that I eat and not eat anything that I don’t think it worthy.

 

 

Well getting ready to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. GO Canada GO!!!

Weigh in Results!

 

Well you might of heard this before, but I am going to say it again. Every 4 weeks, I see a pattern with my weight. Like every woman we tend to bloat up once a month. Well this was the week that I bloat. I hate it!! I hate stepping on the scale on during this period.

Well today I stepped on the scale and it read:

 

 

+1.2 lbs

Actually that is pretty good for myself. Usually during the week that I know that I am up, it is my excuse to eat everything in sight. But not this week. I tracked (most days). I didn’t let this week ruin my weight loss. I actually think it helped me.

My husband and I are actually on vacation this week. Tomorrow we are going to Toronto. We plan on going to a Raptor’s game and do some shopping. We are spending the night in the city. I plan to bring some snacks with me to tide me over so that I am not reaching for unhealthy things all the time.

Weekend recap!

Well as I said in a previous blog, my hubby went away for a boys weekend to Niagara Falls to watch the super bowl. It was just me and the dog all weekend.

 

It was GREAT! I cooked cabbage rolls, I deep cleaned my kitchen. I went to the gym this morning, did 40 mins on the treadmill. I got to watch endless episodes of Melrose Place on DVD also. All in all it was GREAT!

As for my cabbage rolls, they were delish! My husband probably wouldn’t eat cabbage rolls that’s why I decided to make them this weekend. I did them in the crockpot. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it did!!!! I am going to definitely make these again!

Here is a picture of my dinner from last night. I had some greek salad on the side with no dressing.

!

 

And ofcourse Sami, who I spent the weekend with, passed out on the couch!

 

Sadly the weekend is over, but I am on vacation this week, so tomorrow morning I can flip over in bed, and know that I don’t have to get up!!

How was everyone else’s weekend?

TGIF!!!

 

All I can say that I am glad that it is Friday.Which means I am officially on vacations.

Which means a whole tens days of pure relaxation.Not having to get up to go to work. Waking up when I want, going to bed late and sleeping in.

 

It’s going to be HEAVEN!!

When I stepped on the scale it read:



0 loss. Stayed the same, which is ok.
I have only stayed the same twice since being on Weight Watchers. I guess it is better then a gain!!!!!
