Shaping up for 2.0

[experiment_627]

Congrats on the loss, Katherine!!! That is awesome!!

That is a great grocery list, Lori!

I took a day off from exercise yesterday. My tootsie was feeling a little tender thanks to the shoes I wore. I am shooting for 5 days this week (I start my week on Sunday), so as long as I workout today or Saturday, I will have met my goal.

Keep it up everyone!!

I am off to the gym now. Then home to pack for a weekend at the cottage.
Take care and everyone have a great weekend.

Doing better....
And my scale weighed me three pounds less this morning than it did last night. Weird!

I have found I weigh less in the morning too, I think it has to do with our body digesting everything we eat during the day as we sleep. At least that is my Theory.

I walked this morning for 1.8 miles and a now I am sweating more off in our office. Our AC was knocked out by the Severe Storms that move through yesterday morning and the Office is 85+ degrees and rising with the temp outdoors. Bad thing is we have no windows to open.

Due to a very busy schedule this weekend, I don't expect to get any walks in over the weekend plus they are calling for a heat wave this weekend too. I'll do my weigh in on Sunday morning, but due to VBS this week I am not expecting a downward movement on the Scales. All those free meals where sooooooooo good.

I went out at lunch and walked an additional 1.1 miles. So I almost got 3 miles in today.

Congrats on the 4.4 pounds this week Katherine - that is just awesome !!!!

Lori - I've never heard of Persian cukes or Bison pastrami either. I'm off to the market & BJ's this weekend - I'll have to check to see if they're available here. I'm with you on those Campari tomatoes - I just love them. So nice to get a tomato that has flavor.

The cucumbers are also known (to me at least) as "baby cucumbers". I just wash them and slice them, no peeling. The English cucumbers are like the ginormous version of these Persian guys. "Seedless".

Today's lunch, since I'm still on "vacation time", consisted of another sandwich of the bison pastrami, along with sauteed asparagus and zucchini. I use a couple tsp of garlic infused grapeseed oil (which I bought at a specialty oil and vinegar store). McCormick's makes a roasted garlic and sea salt grinder, so I put some of that in with the veggies. I followed that up with some of the pineapple spears. Yum.

OMG - you have just made my little egg salad on Wasa crispbreads with cheery tomatoes & baby carrots so BORING!!!!!!!! Plus eventhough I have already eaten, I am now hungry again too. Guess it's time for another big glass of water...
I hope I can find some of that pastrami locally - we have a few gourmet markets also that might have it

Believe me, I don't eat like this at work. I'm usually eating a Lean Cuisine or something easy like that.

Almost done my 30 day challenge for EA Active. I'm really loving it. Not sure what to do next, though. Maybe another 30 day challenge but at a higher intensity?

Wednesday was my weigh in day, and I weighed in after we got through all the car shopping. I am exstatic to report I lost 4.4 pounds this week. I am not sure what my total weight loss is, but I think it is about 11 pounds.

Wow, that's a heck of a loss this week! Awesome!!

And I posted to Facebook about the item I was most excited to buy from Costco: bison pastrami. 3 oz is 80 calories, 2g fat. That's only 2 points! I used my WW scale to weigh the portion, and it's a really nice portion!

Mmmmmmmmmm that sounds so good! I'm gonna tell the hubby to look for that. He'd love it. Your lunch today sounded soooo good. *drool*

And my scale weighed me three pounds less this morning than it did last night. Weird!

I get that a lot. I think (as tlcoke said) it has to do with eating and stuff throughout the day. I'm pretty sure I always wake up a little dehydrated ... which is why I weigh in in the morning. Not that that stops me from jumping on the scale randomly throughout the day. But I only 'count' it in the morning.

I took a day off from exercise yesterday. My tootsie was feeling a little tender thanks to the shoes I wore. I am shooting for 5 days this week (I start my week on Sunday), so as long as I workout today or Saturday, I will have met my goal.

Hope your foot's feeling better and that you can get that workout in! I (stupidly) did some jumping exercises with no shoes on and stressed some ligament or other in the top of my foot. So annoying!

I went out at lunch and walked an additional 1.1 miles. So I almost got 3 miles in today.

Great work! Stinks about the office a/c, though. I hope they'll be fixing it over the weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Well I went to the gym yeaterday and burned 800 calories in 80 minutes.
I jogged for a total of 45 minutes out of the hour on the tread mill.
That's a new record for me.
We didn't get to the cottages yesterday, but are leaving this morning.
However I got in another small walk last night.
Have a great weekend!

Good afternoon!

Congrats on everyone's weight loss! And to eberyone getting all their exercise in - way to go! We are doing so much home inprovements right now (painting and such) that when not doing that, I have not been getting any real exercise done! Must start making room for that soon!

Weighed in and logged it on WW online. Down another 2, only 38 more to go! Working hard to keep within my points and logging EVERYTHING I eat and trying not to cheat!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hello everyone!
I walked a little over 1/2 mile yesterday, which was more than I anticipated being able to do since my Saturday schedule was booked solid. Sunday is my designated rest day and weigh-in day.

Here is my weigh in results for week #4:
I lost another 1.8 lbs this week. My total for 4 weeks is 9.3 lbs.

I was down the .6 I gained last week. I hope for a true loss this week, but this weekend is not helping the matter.

Don't get discouraged, just keep on trudging away, you will see positive results soon!

I was actually surprised of my loss this week. I expected it to be a gain instead of a loss due to free homemade meals for staff at VBS last week with delicious homemade deserts at every meal.

O.K. went to the cottage this weekend.
The weather was wonderful.
However I did quite a bit of snacking over the weekend, so I am going to have to work hard to make up for that.
However on the upside of things I got DH a moutain bike for father's day, and I got myself one as well.
So as soon as the children are off to school tomorrow I am going to take that new bike out for a spin.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I walked 2.7 miles this morning. The air was thick as the humidity was brutal - smacked you in the face when you walked outside.
