Weigh In Results and Vacation Mode :)

 

Well I am posting a little late. My Weigh In was on Tuesday. I did not have a great feeling about this weigh in. TOM has arrived and I felt so bloated the whole week. Anyways enough of that.

 

Last weeks weight: 167.6

This weeks weight” 166.6

-1.0 pound. I guess I will take it.

 

The kicker is that usually right after TOM has left the week after I usually have a great weigh in, but next week I will be away on vacation. And when I come back from vacation I am usually so bloated that it has me up like 10 pounds. It is so frustrating.

And this is always happens to me when I go on vacation. Before the vacation I go in vacation mode. Because I know that I won’t be weighing in on Tuesday and won’t be facing that scale, I eat lots and lots of crap.

Why do I do it?

 

Well I am off to finish the final packing.

 

Did I mentioned that I packed a bikini top for the first time in my life? I still have to muster up the courage to wear it. I will would be wearing it with a skirt bottom. You have to remember this is a girl that used to weigh 260 pounds. Wearing a bikini top is scary!!!!!

 

Have a great week!

Weigh In Results!

 

Today was my weekly weigh in. I was pretty much on track this week with my eating and my exercising. I didn’t track on the weekend but I know that I didn’t go over board with my points.

 

Last weeks weight:169.2

This weeks weight:167.6

-1.4

 

I hopped for more but I will take it. TOM is on my way here any day so maybe I might be bloated. I am hoping my next week before I leave for my trip that I get to 165.(?) Anything in the 165’s I will take. Lets hope I can do it.

 

A few things going on this week.

 

Friday night going out for a girlfriends birthday to a local bar. Pre drinks at her house. It just dawned on me that yes there will be pre drinks but there might be snacks. OH NO! Let’s hope I can contain myself with the snacking. Drinking is ok with me, I am not a huge drinker. I might only have 2 for the night.

 

Sunday my birthday plus I am running in the local Terry Fox 5km run.

 

Not sure what we are doing for my birthday yet. But I am trying not to indulge in food, trying to keep it to a minimum.

One Year ago!

I married my best friend! It's been one of the best years of my life.

Proud Change of Mentality!!

 

Well it’s no secret that the month of September is about ME. My first wedding anniversary is this weekend, the following week is my birthday. Two big functions in the month of September. And last year we went on our honeymoon and this year we are going to an all inclusive again at the end of the month.

 

We all know that usually when it comes to celebrations that they ALWAYS revolve around food. My husband is already bugging me and asking when and where  are we  going to do for our anniversary celebration.

 

Well we also know that Sarah(that’s me) is trying her hardest to get to 100 pounds lost. I am so close. And I don’t want to ruin my momentum by engorging in food. Why does everything have to revolve around food anyways?

Previous years I wouldn’t care. I would gladly eat out, eating 1000’s of calories in one meal. But not this year. I determined to MAINTAIN MY HEATHLY LIFESTYLE!!!

So I am choosing on meal to go out, but not I am going to indulge, I am going to make smart choices.

This is where my change of mentality comes into affect.

Enjoy the celebrating but don’t go overboard!!!!

Weigh In Results

 

 

Well after my week of being sick last week. I will admit it, I was kind of lack in my eating and tracking. But managed to get some exercise in. I guess because I have a new toy. My garmin. But anyways….looking back at the week of eats.

 

• between my husband and I a whole tub of icecream
• bag of crispers
• juice because I didn’t like drinking water when I was sick
• cheese…usually don’t eat lot of it but had my fair share this week
• chinese food for dinner..plus leftovers the next day

 

Plus I knew that this week I a tad bloated so I think I took advantaged of knowing that I was going to be up.

 

Anyways the results:

Last weeks weight 165.8

This weeks weight 169.2

+3.4

 

Not as bad as I thought, but maybe if I didn’t have those indulges it may of been a lesser gain.

It pissing me off that I was at 165.8 last week. 165 POUNDS!!! That is crazy!!!!

 

I know what I have to do this week. I am already tracked my foods for today and planning on doing it all week.

 

Have to be extra good because this weekend it is my first wedding anniversary and we are planning on going for brunch. Buffet style, which is really hard to track points. I chose brunch over dinner because I thought that there might be more healthier options. Then going to The Keg for dinner.

 

Did I mention that in 17 days I am going to Punta Cana? I have a goal of being back at 165 pounds!!! I CAN DO IT!!!!

New Toy!!

Well with my first anniversary approaching, I was hinting to husband two things that I wanted. Either a Garmin 305 or an IPOD touch. Did I mention my birthday is a week after my anniversary, so it is a combined present. So I asked my husband to see if the running room had the Garmin 305. It is the older model so I wasn’t sure if they even had it in stock but they did. So I just then and there decided that is what I wanted for anni/bday present. Yes you are suppose to give each other “paper” but we aren’t traditional. Well I am technically giving him paper, because I am giving him airplane tickets to the Caribbean. More on that later.

Anyways my Garmin I love it! I used to it for the first time today. I love how you just plug it in to your computer with the software and it maps where you run because it has the built in GPS.

I really think that this is going to make me love running even more!!
