Thursday

I've managed to have 2 lunches out this week and still stay within my daily points. Dinner hasn't been all that exciting but I did eat.

Tonight I was supposed to have dinner with my Dad but thankfully he goes at 5:30 and I wasn't hungry plus he eats at MCL. I was able to just sit with him while he ate and then came home, walked, and then ate my dinner. No temptation b/c I wasn't even around the food.

It took all I had to get on the treadmill tonight but I did.

Water: 64 oz.
Food: 25 of 28 points
Exercise: 30 minutes

Kara- are you going to overcompensate with the exercise?

Thursday

So I exercise a lot today. Boot Camp and then walked for 30 moin after dropping my car off. Tomorrow I am going to walk ALL the way there to pick it up. It could be a good four miles.
Thursday:
had coffee and 64 out of 64 oz
28 out of 25 (once I'm done with my chocolate peanut butter snack) - consider 5 exercise points and 3 flex points
exercise (see above)

Wednesday

I didn't post last night because I got so bored that I became very tired. Just couldn't bring myself to anything inspirational. Not sure I have anything yet. :) Gina- nice to see you on here again.

Kara- you made an excellent point about weighing in after exercise-I'm wondering if that could have something to do with your weigh in's. You do boot camp early on Wednesday morning. I remember them telling us to weigh in before working on when I was at Curves. Not sure how we can work that into the routine but I think it is worth a try.

My weigh in was good- 6 lbs. This month I will take my remaining Meridia pills and compare the difference in weight loss. If I lose more weight with the medication then you can bet that I'm going there. If not, I'll make an honest attempt at this on my own. I go to the doctor April 26.

Wednesday:
Water: 64 oz.
Food: 25 of 28 points
Exercise: 45 minutes on treadmill- 2.75 miles

Update from Wednesday

So you know i hated my weight in. I had a HARD time last night. There is milk in my house (which there never is) and Nutty Nuggets cereal (we also hardly ever have cereal). You know how much I LOVE cereal. I ate all my points - I way dying, craving milk and cereal, craving it, craving it BAD. Fortunately I avoided. Although I'm sure at some point I will give in and have some. I LOVE cereal, I LOVE nutty nuggets and milk. It's whole milk too! So that doesn't help with the points value!

Wednesday;
worked out at boot camp
drank my water
24 out of 24 point s(consider 4 exercise points)

Thursday:
already (at 7:30 am) - had coffee
boot camp this morning - a good hard work out!

I'm hoping to walk outside some today as well.

Back at it again!

Today was my second day of running. I am in re-training as a runner, because the massage therapist didn't like the way I ran. So, I ran her way on Monday and then today (Wednesday). Interestingly, my weight has stayed at 132 during the last month and this morning it was 134.5. What's up with that? I know muscle weighs more...could I have that much more muscle already? Well, certain parts of my legs hurt enough, I guess. This was a bad hip day, though. I am still going to run on Friday.
Now I need to watch that caloric intake and keep the water up. I think the wter thing is really where I am falling behind.
So, I need to account for all the water I drink. I know I did 64 ounces yesterday, the day after running. Couldn't drink it fast enough. I want to avoid going on points--too stressful at this point. But the exercise and water I want to do.
Exercise includes the contiue core strength training I am doing. I am noticing a great improvement in my strength and stamina.

So this sucks! I can't take it much longer. I weighed in at 129 this morning. That's it. I will work on this through more more period (supposed to start on Sunday), but that is it! If I don't start to actually loose weight by April 23rd then I done.

Monday:
24 out of 24 points
Exercised at BOSU
Drank 64 oz of water - no coffee

Tuesday
20 out of 20 points
No exercise
Drank 64 oz of water - no coffee

Tuesday

Again, today was non eventful. Had to actually do work since you weren't around. I got a lot of paperwork done so I guess it was productive.

Water: over 64 oz.
Food: 26 of 28 points
Exercise: 30 minute program on treadmill

Don't really have much to talk about since you aren't there. I'm hoping that weigh in is successful.
