Happy Wednesday Weigh In

Last Thursday’s Weight: 178lbs

This Thursday’s Weight: 177lbs

Yay!!!!!!! Yay!!!! So happy to have lost another 1lb! I'm actually a little surprised because I don't feel like I tried too hard this past week. Maybe it caught up to me from all those weeks I did try really hard and lost nada!!!

I've gotten so many complements on my new clothes this week it feels really good - thanks for all your comments on that post!

I can't believe I am only 2lbs from my next mini goal of 175lbs that is insane!!
So I have some exciting news!!! I am going on a last minute mini vaca to Florida!! I am leaving this Saturday and coming back on Tuesday night. So my fill appointment that is on Monday will have to be rescheduled. Oh well you gotta do what you gotta do to go to Florida! lol I'm really excited! 

I'll try and take lots of pics there so I can post some! Who knows maybe I will hit 175 when I am there and then I'll have my next mini goal photo! =)

Shopping & NSV

I don't know what possessed me because I'm not a shopper but I bought so many new clothes this weekend! First I went to Old Navy which I have not shopped in years and am officially a 14 in their pants and a medium/large in the tops. Some of the tops fit snugger than others so I bought some mediums and some larges. I'm actually SHOCKED that any mediums fit. Then I went to Fashion Bugg and got a lot of cute cute stuff in mediums ( I think their sizes run a little big) and then I popped over to dress barn and got a couple of shirts in Larges. I think I got like 8-9 tops, a dress, and like 2 pairs of pants, oh and a pair of jeggings which are super cool - LOVE THEM!

It's so odd how a little retail therapy can really make someone feel better. =)

Got the blues - go shopping, it's just what the doctor ordered.

Offically a Loser

Last Thursday’s Weight: 178lbs

This Thursday’s Weight: 178lbs

A loser, but not a lbs loser lol. Sorry I didn't get to Wednesday Weigh In for the 2nd week in a row I can't believe it!!

My days have just been so jammed packed. I usually blog during my lunch break but since I got a membership at the gym down the road from work I have been going there during lunch.

As you can see if didn't loose my 1lb this week. It's completely my fault though, I'm not eating right. I'm eating a lot of junk. Why on earth can't I crave good food? I really need to start working on improving my diet. I have the portions pretty much under control it's just the type of food I am eating. I need to get better about this if I am serious about changing my life.

I really feel like I need a therapist. I've always felt like that but I just have done nothing about it. I internalize a lot of things and I think talking to someone would do be a lot of good. What do you guys think? Does anyone else see a therapist??

Eating My Way Through It

I’ve been struggling with some serious blues the past few days and have been eating my way through it. Not enough to gain but enough to make me feel nasty and keep me right where I am. What am I blue about? I don’t really know. If I had to guess it would be a combination of stuff……I hate winter and snow and being cold, and life is just boring lately. I got to work, go home, work out, do laundry, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed - repeat. I mean I could have it soooooooooooooooooooo much worse believe me I know. I think we all have this misconception that loosing weight will just make us happy. Plain and simple. I have come to find out - it doesn't work that way for me. I go through spells of super happy and then life just keep ho hum again. I just have to find a way to get through the ho hum stages without eating everything in my house or at least it's essential to have restriction during those times lol. 

Speaking about restriction I can't wait - 2 weeks from today, the 31st I go for a fill. I'm so wicked siked. I really want to loose another 3lbs by then and get me to my 175lb mark but loosing has proven pretty difficult without restriction so we will see. Mouth closed and keep moving that is all I have to do haha.

Thursday Weigh In

Last Wednesday’s Weight: 179lbs

This Thursday’s Weight: 178lbs

Hi everyone!! Obviously it's not Wednesday! Yesterday was a crazy day in New England we had a HUGE snow storm like 24 inches and my ride to work was long and the whole day just got messed up!!

However, I did loose 1lb this week and I'm thrilled!!! Finally some movement! =) There is a gym down the street from my work and I joined it this week. I do have a membership at a gym down the street from my house but I never go. It is a small place and there are never any machines that I want to use available.  So I joined the gym near work to go for 30 minutes during my lunch break. I did it today and it was great! Then I got home and went back on the treadmill for another 30 minutes and I've already burned 2300 calories and taken 11,100 steps and it's only 8PM! If I can keep this routine up I can't see why these lbs won't start coming off a little fast!!

Well I have loads of laundry to do before I go to bed so I must run! Thanks for being patient!! =)

What to do??

I'm going to the Movies this afternoon and it's a theatre called Chunky's. Very well named. The theater has long tables surrounded by leather chairs taken out of old cars and they are put on wheels. It's a very interesting place. It's a full restaurant and movie theatre. You go in like 1 hour before the movie starts and you order your food. It's a lot of fun, but there food is all fried junk. Well I mean it tastes great lol but its so bad for you. I have not been in a long time but my hubby and I told my brother we would take him so here we go!

I was so diligent with working out and calculating all my calories all week - I'm afraid to eat there because one I don't want to not know how many calories I am eating and two sometimes tasting that junk makes me crave it. Of course you don't have to eat there, but it would be really hard to watch my hubby and brother eat and then for me to just not. What do you guys do when you run into these sort of situations??

Wednesday Weigh In

Last Wednesday’s Weight: 179lbs

This Wednesday’s Weight: 179lbs

I'm so sorry to bore you with my lengthy plateau! It's driving me crazy too. The only reason I can come up with for this plateau is water. I think through all the junk and salty stuff I ate during the Holidays it made me retain a lot of fluid and I'm just slowly getting rid of it. The reason I say this is I feel smaller, clothes are fitting better but the scale isn't moving.

Another reason I think this is because I've been using my bodybugg diligently and exercising a lot and again the scale is not moving. Weird, but I really think water is the answer. At least I hope because I have no other explanation! Anyone else at a plateau?

I'm scheduled for a fill on Jan. 31st. At the least I want to hit my next mini goal of 175lbs by then. That should be doable seeing it's only 4lbs and that gives me like 3.5 weeks! I can't see why I couldn't do that - so long as I can kick this plateaus big butt!

You know I really don't have anything to complain about though, I'm not behind on my weight loss according to my calendar I made. Here is my calendar below even if on Sunday 1/9 I'm still at 179 that means I'm still 5lbs ahead of schedule and that rocks, I couldn't ask for more really. =)
