Much better week!!

I did MUCH better this week (and this weekend) I stayed on points and have lost a total of 5.5 lbs so far!! It's not a lot, but it's better than nothing. I went to the gym 4x...I ran for 30-45 minutes each time, and lifted weights 3x as well. I am feeling so empowered! I wish it was coming off a little faster, but still, I FEEL better!

Week 3--Monday

Okay, bound and determined to be successful....I stuck to my points today! I am also trying not to eat anything after 7 pm because I am not as active and won't burn it off. (One of the suggestions on the Weight Watchers site.) The good news is....even though I ate bad last week, I only gained back .8 of a lb, Which means I still lost 3.2 lbs....not too bad! However, if I am going to lose 20 lbs by August 15, I have to stick to it from here on out.

Not only did I stick to my points, but I went to the gym and did the elliptical for 3o mins, burning 300 calories. Then I did some squats, tricepts, biceps and abs....I am feeling pretty good this week. Wish me luck! :-)

Week 2

Week 2---Not a success. Not only did I hurt my ankle making it difficut to work out, but I have not stuck to my diet AT ALL. I feel pathetic that I have no self control. Only 9 more weeks until my vacation and I still have 20-30 lbs to go! I don't know if that's even possible..feeling a little sad about myself today.

Monday--Continuing the Journey

Well, I am going to try to stick in my points again this week. I did pretty good last week. I used all but 7 of my flex points. I had a HUGE dinner on Sunday that used the majority of them. It was delicious though, and that is the benefit of having those points worked in there! That being said, I am proud of myself. I ALWAYS go crazy on weekends, and I really kept myself in check.

I am stuggling a little bit today. I am home with a sick baby. Poor little man. All I have eaten is a cup of cereal and a banana...oh, and Fiber One bar. I am having trouble keeping myself in check because I am having such a stressful day. Not only is the baby sick, but I am dealing with some financial struggles. I have A TON of student loans and am working on getting those caught up. (They got a bit behind during some medical issues I was having in the past.) On top of that, I applied for a car loan and was given a REDICULOUS interest rate for the loan itself. As a result, my husband nixed the whole purchase. I actually cried like a 2 year old...lol...struggling not to comfort myself with food. :-( Tough day, overall.
