Weigh in time.

I lost .6 lbs this week. That time of the month I knew I wouldn't have a big loss like last week but I did expect more than that. Oh well this week will be better the weather is picking up or should I say clearing up so hopefully I'll be able to get in more exercising.

I didn't do too bad with the food over all this week. I was able to fit in pizza one day even two slices on track which was cool. Had take out one day wasn't impressed with all the points needed for that meal so DQ is out from now on. I did have a nice turkey blt on friday from mcD's with not too many points and it was tasty even without the mayo.

Next week I have a birthday to celebrate (Dh's ) so need to work in cake thankfully he likes angel food cake and its mostly eggwhites. the week after that is our anniversary and I"ve already decided on pasta so its just a matter of portion control at the resteraunt. If I can manage I'll order appetizers to help keep size in check. I am hoping by planning this far in advance that I'll do ok when the time comes.

So its sunday...

and the last time I posted was thursday but I do have an excuse..I've been sick with a darn cold. I hate it when I get sick because I get so dragged down and there is no one to look after things so Ihave to muddle along hoping I don't give anyone else the cold cause then I'd have to do more work and I so don't feel like doing that. I did however catch the cold from young one he's had a cold all last week but its not as bad as mine just stuffy nose and gunky ears so he got nose drops from the doctor which will clean the nose and hopefully help the ears drain. If it doesn't work then I have a prescript for antibiotics so I dont have to go back in to see him or to the clinic.

Anyhow I'm still doing well on the ww plan eating more fruit and veggies should help the cold not be as long I'm hoping anyway.

I went for a walk today so I earned a point or two it was a fairly fast paced walk for the most part but I didnt check the clock before I left so I don't actually know how long I walked. I went around our big block then around 2/3 of the block 4 or 5 times then the big block again.. It might have been half to 3/4 of an hour. hopefully I can get more walking in as I do enjoy it when I don't have the fibro pain.

not getting alot of water the last couple of days but doing well with the food. I have to push myself more on these colder days because I don't like the cold drink that much. I do know its good for me so I do try.

Thursdays Yahoo,.

I forgot all about posting yesterday lol. I went to ww. and got weighed in and lo and behold I lost 4 pounds. I went to the grocery store and bought lots of veggies and some oranges and grapefruits. I checked the points and small oranges are 0 and small grapefruits are 1 points so I have some healthy foods to tide me over with little or no points bonus.

Doing ok food wise today not so much drink wise have only gotten one glass of water in.

I went out to coffee at starbucks this morning and had coffee with the girls. I went online last night and figured out what I wanted and figured out the p oints I had one hot and one cold drink picked out hot was 2 points and cold was 3 I decided on cold. I also had planned that if I wanted I could have both. then for lunch I had veggie soup that I made from the ww book it was 0 points and I had a cheese stick for protein at 3 points.

I have enough regular points left for a coffee at tims ( dh is going out later and said he'd pick me up one if I wanted so I said yes) I will have a grapefruit for my snack and use one of the weekly extra points we get. I am hoping to get the same weight loss next week.

Fancy footwork

I'm still getting used to doing the points on my foods. Its not as easy as I'd thought it was going to be. I have trouble at supper because I use too many points at lunch and also have none left for snacking.

I am a little nervous about weighing in but am not going to stress about it because its new and is taking some to get used to. If I don't lose I won't let it get me down. I made due with what I had. I get groceries tomorrow and will stock up on the veggies and will make the ww veggie soup which has no calories so you can have it anytime you need to have a tide over. This will help alot with lunch.

Did not exercise today as I had a chiro appointment and didn't want to undo what was done. I am feeling alot better and they say I am not as tight in the neck as I was. She said that I could move on to one session a week and see how that goes.

I will try hard this week to not use the extra points. My menstrual cycle is next week so in order to have a loss I will have to be extra careful and try to get some exercise in as well.

What a tough day

I had a very hard time staying on points. I know now to save some for Sunday nights lol. I tried veggies but they didn't do anything for the cravings so I gave in and had a cheese stick and some strawberries(this was over like three hours) and it was 4 points total.

I still haven't gotten into exercising but tomorrow is another day and with no appointments I hope to get going on it. ( although I haven't checked the weather to see if school might be canceled. )

Did fairly well with the water around 4 glasses of pure water and some green tea.

What a long week.

Lets just say it was a wasted week. I had a fibro flare up and it was rough. I had chiro appointments on Wed and Fri and that helped some. It is hard to drive as it gives me lots of pains. I refuse to let it get me down though I did get basic cleaning and meals done. I am hoping that this week will be better As I'd like to get this clutter out of the house.

I joined weight watchers on Wed and by friday had the extra points used up. It will take a while to get used to figuring out the points but its taught me to eat more veggies to fill up. I am hoping to get some veggie stew made up to use as a tide over as there is 0 points for it. I don't expect to loose much this week as I am still getting used to things but next week I hope I am able to get exercising in as well to help burn calories and tone up.(I got a Carmen Electra exercise set for striptease It will at least be more interesting than some of the boring exercises I've done in the past lol).

When I got weighed in at weight watchers I weighed 149.8 and at home just before I left to get weighed I weighed myself on my scales and the number was 144.8 I was shocked needless to say and am not sure who's scale is right. When I used to go to ww they would dock 2 lbs for jeans but they didn't do that the other night I will ask this week when I go it might have been an oversight. I need to loose between 20 -25 lbs. I am hoping to be almost there in the summer ans can try on bikinis( not that I will buy one but will be fun to try them on).

I hope to get on more this week to post but will not stress about it if I don't.

Funny things

I read others blogs and always wondered why they didn't post everyday I had always popped on to see if they had written anything everyday and wondered why they didn't have the minute. There is something about having a blog that makes things different. I have had the blog for a week and the first few days I was able to post in the evening then I was posting next morning for the night before and then I missed a couple of days. I have become those that I wondered about.

I have been doing very good about my water drinking 5 glasses yesterday( my best). I had about three today. I also had a bit of veggies at lunch which I never do. supper was Pizza and it was filling so I had only two slices( I used pita bread and seems to have made a difference as even dh only had two and said he was full).

I have decided to rejoin weight watchers. I am a lifetime member but haven't gone in about 10 years or so I am not sure if I have to rejoin or if I will be still considered a member. I had stopped going last time because of the support meeting itself I had gone to a different day than usual because of the Thanksgiving holiday and they had switched sessions so instead of getting Thanksgiving support I got the session from the week before which I had already heard. I started just getting weighed in after that and not staying for a meeting then I just stopped altogether. This time will be different because they have online support as well so if I can't get to a meeting I will still have support..

Wednesday update

I did fairly well with the water yesterday 4+ glasses. I didn't get any exercise done. I did two loads of laundry.

Tuesdays update....

I got my pilates tape done first thing in the morning. I forgot to put a mat under me I figured the carpet would be fine but it was too hard so now my tailbone hurts so today I'll just take a walk for my exercise. I had about three glasses of water I forgot to keep track. I did not have a snack in the evening but just sipped on water and had a cup of green tea(I forgot that tea can count for some of your water intake but for my counts I mark clear water that I drink). I also made sure I drank lots of water with my meal so I wouldn't be tempted to have seconds.

Madness Monday

Well I didn't get any house work done today I did get the garbage out for tomorrow. I have to clean the fridge for grocery week and get a menu and grocery list done up for Thursday. (I guess I should mention that this is the flying part of my blog..working on cleaning up my house as I work on cleaning up me).

I had 2 more glasses of water last night.

Today I did well with water more than 3 glasses. For supper I had 1 slice of garlic bread with unsalted butter(home made)and 1/2 cup spagetti and 1/2 cup pasta sauce/with meat. I did not get seconds and tonight I did not have a snack and I feel good. I have to take my meds( for headache prevention) and I'll have another glass of water to wash them down). I did not exercise today and I didn't even think about it. I hope tomorrow morning to get a pilates tape done.(I have three of them beginers, ball work and intermediate/advances. I will start out at the beginners and do that all this month once it becomes too easy I'll add minutes on to the workout with the ball tape then next month start with the next tape and add the ball routine after it starts getting easy. That is my plan and I hope to be able to stick with it.

Quiet day today

The kids let me sleep in until 11:00 so nice. I went to the mall and picked up some yarn to make christmas stockings for next year as well as a new pair of pants one size smaller than I had on thank you very much. I need to get another pair but they didn't have anymore of that size.

Missed lunch today so I grabbed a piece of bread and butter at 4 not great but was a tide over till supper. I've only had one glass of water today I guess thats what happens when you sleep in then go shopping I hope to get a bunch more in while I watch desperate housewives and extreme home make over.

Another day another water

Just a quick check in. We went to the movies last night and I had a small popcorn instead of a large like dh wanted me to have also I nixed a burger run before the movie. I wanted a water but got a pop instead it was sprite so there was no caffine i still haven't checked to see how much sodium was in it. I forgot to mention I have high blood pressure and need to cut back on caffine and sodium.

Today I've had 5 glasses of water. I even had water at supper instead of pop when we had fast food, I ordered a salad and ate that instead of filling up on fries I did have a few fries(8 or 10) instead of a whole bunch like I usually do. The only exercise I got was walking around the mall but we did park far from our destinations One being at the other end of the mall. Dh was going to bring the car around( the store was near an exit) I said no I can use the exercise.

Starting off right or starting right off

This is the first post of many in my newly formed blog. I want to start the new year off on the right foot by keeping track of the things I do daily to help in my quest for healthy living.

I would like to do at least one healthy thing every day. Today I drank 4 glasses of water.

I did start my healty quest on Jan 1st but didn't get the blog started until today. On Jan 1 I did some exercising while watching the biggest looser. On Jan 2 I took a 40 minute walk with my husband. On Jan 3 I drank 3 1/2 glasses of water.
