I don't wanna!

So I'm walking on the treadmill today, but I don't wanna. I'm eating on plan, but again, I don't wanna.

Fake it til you make it is the name of the game today.

Almost Home

So the Marine is supposed to be coming home. That's a good thing. I can't wait to hear his voice.

Food was good today. 35 minutes of exercise. 120 oz of water.

TOM is being very rough on me, and I'm exhausted.

Laterness & g'night

Wednesday

Weigh in this morning was up, so increasing calories isn't going to work.

I'm on track for 1200 today, water is down, and I'm getting ready to get on the treadmill for my intervals.

I'm focusing on not stress eating, and am pretty sure I know what's for dinner so I can plan ahead.

My sister-in-law moved back to town, but I haven't seen her yet. I have such mixed feelings about the whole situation. I try to remember that I should love her because God loves her, but she has such an entitled attitude its hard. Its easier to love my brother's wife even though she gets on my nerves, but I've had 20+ years experience dealing with Kristine.

Tuesday

Final calories for the day, about 1400.  I was trying to increase to 1300, but miscalculated how many calories were in spaghetti noodles. 

But overall a good day.  I got exercise today, plenty of water, and the calories were as I said above.

Tonight, I"m spending a lot of time yawning, so once I get my email cleaned out, I'm going to go to bed early.

Hmm

So, Saturday calories were okay. Sunday's weigh-in was down a bunch - from 210.2 to 205.6, though I saw 204.2 Saturday morning.

Yesterday I went over by a lot. We went to Golden Corral and I did really good. I would have been around 1200 except I had dessert and a roll. Bad idea.

I'm back on track and hoping to see a loss again this week.

Overconfidence

So I was so proud of myself staying around 1200 calories yesterday.

Tonight, dinner was a waffle and eggs, and I went over by 200 calories, my total was about 1400 calories.  Ugh.  It's not bad, but more than my goal. 

Onward.

Aug 24, TGIF

Things I learned this week include that I can fit an occasional McDonalds trip in and still hit only 1200 calories. Does this mean it'll be a common occurrence? No, but on days where I need to grab a quick lunch for my 3 yo, I can have 4 nuggets and half a small fry and still stay in calorie range.

Yesterday's calories - approximately 1250. Water and a walk, but no strength exercises.

On track so far today, and got in 20 mins of intervals in about 1 minute. About 100 minutes of exercise so far this week

Wednesday

Calories for today, 1250 or thereabouts.  It's been a rough day foodwise, but I'm hanging on. 

Water was good.  I got 30 minutes of exercise in.  I keep reminding myself that I saw 207.2 this morning after flirting with 210 for the last couple of weeks.  My goal is to keep going, even through catered lunches (like today) or whatever comes at me. 

Right now, I'm chewing gum because my husband bought trail mix.  I told him he was being mean to me, that I had had my calories for the day, but he didn't get it.  Grr.

I do need to do a few things, and I need a shower after sweating so much today. 

Laterness & g'night.

Tuesday, August 21

Calories for yesterday, 1250.  Exercise and water were good.

Today, my calories are at about 1120, but I was stuffed at dinner, so I'm calling it good.  I did a 10 minute walk, 5 minutes on the elliptical, 15 push-ups, crunches, butterflies (where you lie on your belly and lift your arms and legs backward), and 15 lunges.  Water was about 100 oz, less than yesterday, but still on track.

The alarm went off early this morning.  Hubby figured out how to reset the alarm on my phone, so he set it for 5:30 when I normally don't get up til 6.  I was NOT a happy camper.

I still need to clean out my inbox and get to bed.  I'm tired, and I'm trying to start getting more sleep.

Laterness & g'night.

Monday, Aug 20

Friday's calories weren't great, but weren't horrid. I had about 1700 calories Friday, and no exercise.

Today, I'm on track for 1200 calories and I got a 10 minute walk for first break and 20 minutes of intervals at lunch. The plan is in place for this week.
