Re-Gaining Ground

Like I said in the last post from last week....I was up a little bit from the previous weigh-in, so I didn't turn in a weight last week. I think A2 was down a little, but it wasn't enough to keep us from slipping to 6th place in the ranking!! I'm sure it would have been even worse if I had turned in a weight. So we started in 1st place...then went to 2nd place.....and now 6th place.....That is out of money contention so it is a major issue! :)

I ate OK over the weekend...and I've been totally on workouts yesterday and today. I'm only 1 pound over the previous weight-in now (231) and going to work really hard all week to bring that down further. Before I fell off the wagon (I really need to get a seat-belt) I was at 227. And if I didn't tell you, I gave up chocolate for Lent and haven't had a speck of anything chocolate in over a month.

So Easter is on Sunday....and I have decided that if I get back to 227 or below by Friday at noon, then I can have some chocolate Easter Candy!!! I'm already planning what it will be....I know it will involve at least 1 Carmel Cadbury egg...that's the best thing I can think of so far. We are going to get the Easter basket stuff for the kids tonight, so I will see if there is anything else that looks really worth it. And I also know that I will have no will power once Easter is over, because I will not feel like I am letting down the Lord if I cheat...only myself...and A2...and the hubby who has been such good support.....now that I put it that way I think I can have the will power.....I will have a little chocolate then right back at it! Only a little over a month left of the contest....I can stick to it for the next 5 weeks!!

It's been awhile....(warning, kinda gorey)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while......
I was doing really super good last week....was down to 227 on Wednesday, so 3 pounds down from the weigh-in the week before. Then I was off work on Friday, we went of vacation for the weekend. Took the kids to a big indoor waterpark. Had a blast, and since it was vacation, didn't even try to eat well. It was all room service and take out. But we were also walking constantly and swimming alot, so it probably about evened out. And I'm sure it would have been fine except....
Also since I was on vacation, I got my period, happens every time I leave home for a couple days. So, this was the 1st one since I got the IUD. And the doctor had warned me that my periods would be heavier than I was used to since I went off my BC pills....and she also warned that the IUD can make cramps worse. So I should have been more prepared....but it was pretty bad! I was in alot of pain from cramps, and I was super duper tired. Drove home from vacation Sunday around noon....crawled into bed and stayed there most of the rest of the day/night. Then I was miserable at work Monday (skipped all workouts) Got up to go workout Tuesday morning, texted the trainer that I wasn't going to make it, and went back to bed, skipped everything Wednesday also.
We were supposed to weigh in on Wednesday also, an e-mail came around on Tuesday....I went over yesterday, i was about 2 pounds up from the last weigh in, so I didn't record it and turn it in. My partner A2 e-mailed to see how I was, and I admitted that I ate bad on vacation and skipped my workouts for the 1st half of the week, I feel like I let him down....mostly because I did.
And it wouldn't be so bad if I all did was skip some workouts....but I also use my 'sickness' as an excuse to eat poorly. We got Chinese takeout Sunday night, Burger King Monday for lunch, ate a good dinner Monday night, had Subway Tuesday for Lunch and a good dinner Tuesday night, had soup/ salad/ and a burger from Big Boy yesterday for lunch and Qdoba yesterday for dinner.
So this morning I drug myself to the gym, and I just had a nice salad for lunch. No lunch time workout though, and I don't know if I'll workout tomorrow at all. I'm going to focus on eating good and work in workouts as I feel better. Should be back in the swing next week. And hopefully all the bad stuff I ate will just 'flow through'!

I have NO will power

So....1st off we dropped in the ranking.....2nd place now. The team that is now ahead of us is a girl that doesn't have alot to loose, so just a couple pounds for her is a big percentage drop, and her partner is our maintenance man, and he is kinda heavy and has lost like 30 pounds. He is doing really good.

I have been doing good since last week. Eating mostly good, and if it is something bad, ice cream, I totally work on portion control. But I have been making all my morning and lunch time workouts. So yesterday I weighed in at 229....yes!!! and then this morning at 228 and about 1/8th....it just balanced just above 228. So I was super happy.

I totally planned on working out at lunch, and brought a weight watcher meal to eat......then we had a work emergency....someone had to leave and rush over to a testing facility....and that someone was me. So that shot my workout....but I totally could have come back and ate my planned meal.....but the draw of fast food was too strong.....and I ended up at Wendy's!

Weigh in Today...

There was a weigh in today. I was sick all weekend, and even took Monday off work. While I was in bed resting I was just craving comfort foods, so I made no objecting when the hubby ordered pizza for dinner one night, and I got some frozen 'rib' patties at the store and had those with mac& cheese for dinner another night, in between I was skipping meals in exchange for sleep. and I had a couple bowls of ice cream because the cool creaminess helped my throat.

So I come back to work yesterday, to find an email that we are having a weigh in today! I had no idea what I would weigh and was a little scared. But I weighed in this morning at 230....not so great, but at least it is 2 pounds down from the last official weigh in. A2 weighed in at 5 pounds down from the last weigh in, so as a team we will do OK for the rankings, but I'm totally ready to loose the 1st place spot.

But I think will be a good kick in the pants to work hard and get the 1st place spot back! I keep worrying about why I'm stagnant, but the best way to get the scale moving is to get my butt moving...I need to work out longer and harder, just turn it up a bit. Easier said then done, but still worth trying!!

Back in in 2-3-0's Again!!!

Sung to the tune of....I'm just pissed and not in the mood for singing!!!
I stayed at 229 last week, and then went home for the weekend, and showed up Monday at 231...it's now Wednesday and I'm about 230.5
But I have been working out every morning and lunch, and eating really good, I just hate this non-scenical fluctuation! But I'm just going to keep working on it, keep working on it. Hopefully I'll have another good drop and then when a pound or two come back on, I'll still be in the 220's.
