My clothes fit for the most part - my jeans fit ok but I like them a little loose, my small waisted black pants are tight on me. I feel like I don't have a lot of fat on me - I feel solid. I feel kind of skinny, but there are a few things I would like to get under control! I am going to see how things pan out over the next month or so and I am going to keep trying with this high level of exercise.
Goals for next week:
Eating: I cannot count points - this is what I am going to to instead (between now and Monday - Monday start counting points:
1. limit sweets to twice - had brownies last night (that was Thursday night)
2. limit bread to twice (two dinners) - had bread last night (that was Thursday night)
3. Don't eat after 8:00 pm - haven't eaten after 8:00pm
4. Only eat one regular sized helping/serving of main meal (I can eat more things like salad) - I'm sticking with this so far
5. Eat more vegebtables (instead of so much fruit - I eat a LOT of fruit, which isn't bad, but I can eat 5 to 8 servings of fruit a day - for example 1 banana is two servings - yesterday I ate three bananas - plus other fruit). - I only had one serving of fruit yesterday. I ate vegitables instead.
Exercise: Work out at least 3 times (between today and Sunday night) - start new goals on Monday
1. Bootcamp 1 times - did it on Thursday Morning.
2. Biggest looser work out
3. run at the gym at least once. - Ran for three miles on Friday morning. It felt great!
Water: Drink at least 64 oz a day and keep track!
Wednesday - Did it
Thursday - did it

therapist's orders
So, I went to a therapist/clinic today to get some help getting active again. Of course, the therapist (like my physical trainer Kara) says I am not ready for heavy exercise. She says I am still healing, then I will rehab, then strength train--and only then can I get back to running...
My weight is staying at 131 or 132...but I really have to watch those cookies I made. No more of that!! Keeping my water intake up is my main goal. Not counting points right now. I continue to walk lightly almost every day.
I get my therapeutic exercise routine in the morning--stretches. I am slightly sore from her manipulations today, but feeling taller and stronger.
I do want to keep my calories up so as to avoid fatigue and to be able to do the exercises fully, but really have to watch the carbs since I am non aerobic.

Weighing myself
Ok so! I weighed myself this morning - after I worked out and after I got to work. I has already had some water and some coffee. I was feeling excited about my weigh in because I fee like I did well this past week and that I and kicking butt w/ exercise. So - I gained one lbs. I am not pleased!!!!! I don't know why I can't seem to stay more consistant. I probably have to start counting points again - but I don't know if I have the self control for that right now.
I am going to try to start weighing myself at the gym at 5:45 in the mornings. This will be before I work out AND have anything to drink. I will also be less dressed for that. Am I just tryin gto do tricks to feel like I'm being successful? Should I just start counting points again? I don't know if I have the energy for counting points. I'm just not happy.
130 lbs. - 7 lbs up from my lowest (I weighed in at 123 at one point) and 5 lbs up from my goal. I don't eat out, I don't eat chips, I don't eat sweets, I don't eat after 8:00 pm (except for one time) and I worked out 4 times this past week for 1 hour each time.
Goals for next week:
Eating: Count points - stay withing 20 to 25 points - using flex and exercise points as needed. I'm going to try!!
Exercise: Work out at least 4 times. Bootcamp 2-3 times and run at the gym at least once.
Water: Drink at least 64 oz a day and keep track!

I totally for got.......
Hi all! Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.....I sort of forgot about it :o) So as I am sitting here watching project runway I just remembered that I need to post today. Well..... I have bad news.......I really messed up last week and still messing up as I am sitting here finishing off a bag of oyster crackers. They really not all that fattening but if you eat the entire freakin' bag then they can cost you!! Anyway How I messed up last week is that I was totally out of control with my eating. In addition to my "healthy" eating I added tons of crunchy carbs which for me really adds on the pounds. So this is what the end result was. I GAINED BACK THE 3 POUNDS I LOST LAST WEEK PLUS ONE TO GROW ON!!!!! I COULD NOT FREAKIN' BELIEVE IT!! I AM SO DISSAPOINTED IN MYSELF!! If my period starts this week then I do have an excuse but if it doesn't then my excuse is just lack of self control. One thing I did NOT do though was eat any sweets. Because usually during the 1-2 weeks prior to my period I start chowing on the sweets and crunchy-salty things. I can't imagine what I would have weighed if I added on the sweets! Man!! It's weird though I am not even craving the sweets! So I'm happy about that!
So let me tell you what I'm gonna do this week....... I'm gonna cut out the crunchy carbs and see what happens.....well I know what will happen.....I will NOT gain any weight!! So I will take away the sweets thing because I have mastered that I think.....like I said I don't even crave them anymore. So my new goals for this week are as follows:
1. Drink 64 oz of water daily - that is still a challenge for me. I HATE having to go to the bathroom so much!
2. NO crunchy carbs! That means things that are my ultimate weaknesses: crackers, pretzels and nuts. I will replace them with things like carrots, Jicama, celery etc.
3. No eating after 8pm - NO EXCEPTIONS! Especially those crunchy carbs!
Okay I'm done.....I need to go to bed now...... well after I see who gets cut from Project Runway :o)
Good night!

When God wants rest
I am exercising about as mildly as a person can and still say they are exercising: 20 minute walks, 30 minutes light aerobics. I did hoola hoop yesterday and it sent me into a deep fatigue...
So, I am going to go to a massage clinic and start treating myself as if I have some of the long term effects from the Epstein Barr--mostly right now, I seem to have the signs of fibromyalgia. I am sure the car wreck sent me into a tail spin, which I have not been able to shake.
I gather this clinic will tell me what kind of exercise i can do that will help me recover instead of reinjure.
So, Iam really pushing the water and pushing back the calories. I have put on a couple of pounds, but it's the inches I have noticed.
I don't want to obsess/worship the body but want to take care of it, so I accept that it needs more care and rest right now.
