Shaping up for 2.0

[BriarRosie]

I went out tonight knowing fully well that I would be splurging. But I did take half my meal home with me, and the majority of the big honkin' dessert I ordered. That's right, I ordered dessert. That's usually my downfall. But I did not eat as much of it as I thought I would! And I had a couple of drinks. Good thing I have those flex points!

I love being able to eat what I want, but to be smarter about how I go about doing it.

Today is my rest day from walking, but it was my official weigh in day. In 3 weeks I have lost 7.5 lbs. Woo Hoo!!!

I'm watching my wife do Wii Fit. But I have a feeling that doesn't count for me, does it?

That's awesome! Way to go!

Weigh in for me today - down 1.6 this week for a total of 5.5 since May 15. I'd love for that number to be higher, but my favorite jeans came dangerously close to falling off at work last night scared1 so I must be on the right track.

This week's goal is to keep to one soda per night at work (I can eke enough caffeine out of my tea and it's waaaay less sugar, but I crept up to 2 a couple times last week) and to keep the 're's and the 'back to's out of my thoughts. I find that when I phrase things as 're-losing these 5 pounds' or 'get back to where I was in November' (I had a bad Dec and Jan), I focus on the fact I messed up last time and not that I'm doing well this time. So no more re's and back to's for me!

That's what it is all about!

Grats on the loss!! That's awesome!

I was up 0.6 at WI yesterday. Grrrr. I am just bouncing around in the same couple of pounds.

Good news is that I broke the Wii Fit back out today. I did 20 min there and played some tennis. I really enjoy it, and I was starting to see real results earlier in the year before I hurt my foot, so I hope I can get back into it.

You get a dancing banana for that!

Try to remember that it's not a race. If you're making attempts to get healthier, every little bit is a victory. Have another banana.

IMHO, that .6 is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things. You'll get it off.

I did my Wii Fat (thanks to the DIS Unplugged for that name!) earlier, too. I did a few yoga poses, followed by boxing and hula hoop, followed by my 30 minute free step.....while watching the Food Network.

Here's hoping this week is healthy for everyone!

 

[CinderellasSister]

Happy Monday everyone!! Good luck this week. I'm sure it'll be a successful week for us all! Keep up the great work!

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks I does help to type stuff like that out. Hits my harder when I can share. So far so good today...but its only 8am...lol

Walked 3.65 miles this morning. What a glorious morning, get out there and get moving... Happy Monday Everyone!..

 

[MonkeyPants]

just got back from a morning jog, finally was smart enough to figure out it will be cooler to go out before that big bright ball makes it way up into the middle of the sky. Of course I'll be an idiot later and go out for another jog tonight when the temp is still mid-90s

Managed to get a new personal best for the mile, 11 minutes 33 seconds Not a pace I could maintain for a marathon....yet! but I am still going to consider it an accomplishment.

Think its time to for breakfast, then grabbing a book and heading for the pool for some peace and quiet...unless my mom decides to feign the oh startling idea this morning lets 'swing' by with my 2 yr old nephew and see if I might want to take him in the pool. Its sunny...going to be a gorgeous and HOT day so she knows I'll be in the pool who does she think she is fooling. Not that I mind.

We just got back from a week of major road tripping across the upper midwest. All the watching my portions and writing everything down I eat literally got tossed out the window. Now I can reign everything back in and get started again.

I am so frustrated and out of control!

I am visiting my mother and brother. Their schedule is really weird. I am stress eating. I am eating too much food at weird times. I went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch with a friend. Only saving grace is that at only half the pasta entree and am eating the cheesecake very slowly over two days.

I have managed to take 30 - 45 minutes walks morning and evening. I can't wait to get back home and get back to my regular routine!

May I join in the "fun" ?

I did WW over a year ago - got to goal and from then on - the weight has crept right back up. I HAVE to drop 30 pounds ( i think - i'm really afraid to get on the scale ) -

I'm so ashamed of myself for letting this happen AGAIN.

So........ today is Day #1 I will not look back - I will look ahead - and tonight I WILL look at the scale...

Decided to stop by and say Hi! Figured since we are booked for the podcast cruise and I am on WW I would join the group! I would like to be at my goal weight for the cruise, which is 35 pounds lighter. Did good before our DL vacation at the start of this month (lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks) but ate like crazy and felt terrible while in Cali. Hopefully I learned my lesson and can stay on track. Back down to where I was before DL, so starting over again!

I started out with the WW @ Work program, and let me tell you about the leader I had. He was on the WW program 5 separate times, gaining the weight back and losing it again. After the 5th time, he said he needed to stay tracking for good and to be sure he's kept all the good habits.

We couldn't sustain a quota for more than a couple of rounds of sessions, so I had to branch out on my own to continue doing WW. I lucked out with a great leader, but I still miss my "original" one.

But it doesn't matter that you've done the backslide if you're willing to do the work to bring yourself out of it.
