Cindy's journal

[cinmell]

I did the 4 mile WATP and breakfast and lunch points were great. Dinner was okay. We went furniture shopping so of course we went to dinner. I found that I couldn't eat as much as I used to which was good. I guess I'll consider last night as my cheat night.

Did the 3 mile WATP and points were good.

Of course I didn't exercise over the weekend . We started packing on Saturday and I babysat my neice on Sunday. I did the 2 mile WATP today and I think points went well over the weekend. I didn't cheat much on points.

I did the 4 mile WATP and points are good so far and if I stick to my menu for dinner I'll be in good shape. Tomorrow is weigh day, hopefully there will be a loss to report.

 

[cinmell]

It's weigh day and I'm only done .80 lbs but that's better than a gain. My total loss is 19.8 and I have 1.7 to go until I reach my first goal of the 1st 10% loss.

I did the 3 mile today and points are great and I should have some to bank if I stay on track today. I have kind of a rough weekend coming up (points wise) with a family dinner on Saturday night and a day out on Sunday. I have to make sure I exercise each day to help out in case I slip.

 

[cinmell]

I started the 3 mile WATP but my daughter woke up just as I hit the 1/2 mile mark. So after I got her settled I started again therefore doing 3 1/2 miles of WATP. Points were great during the day but we got Dominos for dinner (which I'm not a fan of but my husband really wanted) and it wasn't the pizza that did me in, it was the cheesey bread . If I use point range I would have gone over but if I used flex points I would be okay.

I woke up around 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep. So I popped in the 4 mile WATP around 4:45 and I was done before 6am. I feel good that I actually exercised on the weekend. I have breakfast and lunch planned for lower points b/c we are going for a family b'day dinner tonight. I make different choices for the main course since starting the weight loss program, but I still seem to have trouble resisting the appetizers (potato skins & mozzarrella sticks). I guess if I slip a bit and I'll try not to, at least I did the 4 mile to help me out.

Think this way...no matter what the rest of the day brings, you exercised so you have nothing to feel guilty about. There are probably days when you can't get the exercise in, so today is a GREAT day. Go ahead and enjoy the rest of it!!

Camping Griswalds,
Thank you for your positive words! Have a great day and thank you for your support!

I went walking for an hour today and points are great. I'm thinking of switching weigh in from Wednesday mornings to Friday mornings. This will give me a little more time to make up for any points cheating or exercise slacking from the weekend.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 4 mile WATP this morning and points are well so far. I am meeting a friend for dinner tonight but I'm not worried about going over on points b/c she's on a weight plan too. We won't get appetizers and we'll skip the bread (she's doint low or no carbs) so I figure I'll get some kind of baked chicken with a baked potato or veggies depending on what kind.

Tomorrow is the day I'm supposed to weigh in but I'm thinking of switching to Friday mornings.

 

[cinmell]

Well I did my 4 mile watp this morning. I did the dishes, the laundry, vacumming and made lunch for my 2 year old daughter. She was settled and I packed up some boxes b/c we are moving soon then I had nothing to do so I popped in the 2 mile WATP. I'll be sorry tomorrow or at least my thighs will be but I'm glad that I did it and that I made the choice to stay active rather than sit on my butt.

 

[cinmell]

Today is supposed to be weigh day but I decided to switch to Friday mornings to help me make up for any indiscretions I may have had over the weekend . I was up early so I did the 3 mile WATP, was bored later so I did the 2 mile WATP. I decided to keep moving when I have down time rather than plop myself in front of the tv. Points are really well today.

As of last Wednesday I have 1.7 lbs. to go to reach my 1st mini goal of 10% loss. Once I reach that, I'd like to lose another 10 by Thanksgiving but I don't think that is realistic for me but I'm going to try. I went shopping today and bought some celery sticks for snacks, crystal light, etc. If I stay on track with keeping off my lazy butt and snack smart, I have a good chance at reaching that Thanksgiving goal.

 

[cinmell]

I only did 2 miles of WATP today because I had to be out early. Points, ok b/c I'm not really in the mood to stay on them but tomorrow is my new weigh day so I have to be good. I have 1.7 lbs to go to have reached my 1st 10% lost but I'm positive I won't make that goal tomorrow so I hope to reach it by next week.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3mile WATP and 2 mile WATP today. I switched weigh days this week from Wed to Friday and I was only down .40 bringing total loss to 20.2lbs. I'm 1.3 lbs away from losing my first 10% which I hope to lose by next week.

I feel like the weight is coming off slowly but I notice a difference in the way my clothes are fitting and I've been receiving many comments and compliments about my losing weight. I feel as though I may be losing inches faster than pounds if that makes sense. I'm going to buy a measuring tape and use that each week at weigh in which is probably something I should've done from the start.

 

[cinmell]

I did the 3 mile this morning and it's going to be a busy day today so I don't see many chances to mess up and snack today! Hopefully I'll do well with points today, I usually don't do too well on the weekends with them.

Good morning, Cindy! Just wanted to drop by and say hello Did you make it through the weekend OK? At least you've changed your weigh-in day to Friday if you've messed up a bit! Have a good day and remember to drink your water!

Thanks for your post Erin! I actually had a pretty good weekend when it comes to points and exercise (although I did take a break from exercise Sunday).

Today I did the 3 mile and stayed within point range. I hope to be down 1-2 pounds this week so we'll see how that goes. I bought a tape measurer so I'll start keeping track of measurements as well as weight.

I did the 3 mile WATP this morning and I'm doing well with points.
