Weekly Loss
July 11-18= -4
July 18-25= -2
July 25-1= -2
Aug 1-8= -0 (don't know what happened, exercised some and stayed on plan except for the stupid evil smoothie incident.TOM made its exit this week, but all ill effects should have been over by weigh in day, so I don't think I can blame it.)
Aug 8-15= 0...lots of fluctuations this week. saw a two pound loss at the beginning of the week, but then the scale was back up and down for the rest of the week...never got a stable number.
Aug 15-22=lots of fluctuation again...saw anywhere from a 3-4 pound loss..TOM is on its way, so I probably won't get a consistent number this week either.
Aug 22-29- still fluctuating. dealing with TOM, ate most of my flex points

First Official Low Carb Day

Yesterday was my first official low carb day. It is tough to count points and carbs! I'm not really going to set a carb goal but just try to cut it out when I can. I also decided that I wasn't going to count carbs for fruits and veggies. I do NOT want to discourage myself from eating fruit/veggies just because they have carbs. I'm estimating that I had about 50-60 carbs yesterday. I'll be able to eat less today because yesterday, I hadn't yet found the low carb bars I talk about below yet, so I… Continue

Successful

I'm feeling pretty successful today. I had another great week with my kids. My after lunch class is still great. Today I'm standing in the aisles in the middle of the room right next to the students, and they're coming up to the board to write the answers to questions. First of all, I'm very casual with this class because they're so good, so we're all chatting while going over their work. I look over and see this folded up piece of paper going right by me. I apprehend the note jokingly. The stud… Continue

Tired and Hungry

I'm feeling tired and hungry. Lately it just feels like I can't get done. 4 day weeks are often harder for me because I feel overwhelmed to get things accomplished but have less time to do them. I seem to be giving way more tests this year, so that's taking more time. My kids are still angels. In my last period, I moved a few around, and things were a lot quieter even though they weren't that loud to start with. I got some grading accomplished, but I'm still really behind. I didn't get to walk.… Continue

Long Day!

I just feel like I can't get done. I ended up walking an hour last night. I was talking on the phone with my mom, and she was keeping up with the time for me. My goal was 45 minutes, but when she told me that my time was up, I was nowhere near home, so I decided to keep walking for the full hour even though I was only about 5 minutes from home. I was really hoping to walk today and then I would have an extra day of walking, but I have so much to catch up on. Normally after my walk I don't feel l… Continue

Pretty Good

I started out the day feeling pretty sluggish. The long weekend ruined me. At the beginning of the weekend, it seemed like it was going to last forever, and I was sad for it to be over. It was a pretty good day. My classes are still being good. My last period class is the only one that talks a little too much, but not anything too overwhelming. I have three tons of grading to do. I'm going to try to walk especcially since it's cool outside. I just was not in the mood to walk last night. I had a… Continue

And...I am always truly hungry not just bored. Have a great week and here is to doing what we have to do to lose weight!

At 3:42am on September 5th, 2008, Arlene said…: Funny, but I'm not having a lot of success watching carbs these days, either. I keep saying I'm going to, but the day goes by and by its end I've eaten around 200 grams of carbs — a far cry from the 20 to 40 I used to eat on Atkins.

I think it's an all-or-nothing thing for me. I have no trouble severely restricting them, but just cutting back a little bit is next to impossible!

I know that it is normal to vear off track a little but I was going too far away from the road! So here's to doing what we have to do to get this done! All the best.

At 4:57pm on August 30th, 2008, Arlene said…: I will definitely be looking for that Pioneer gravy. Hope one of our local grocery chains sells it. You don't by chance buy yours at Albertson's, Fry's (a Kroger store) or Safeway, do you?

I'm excited for Christmas too! :D It's my favorite Holiday! I love the decorations and the warm fuzzy feeling that time of year. Also, with my two little kids it's very exciting when "Santa" brings presents! :)

At 5:02pm on August 26th, 2008, Kristi said…: Thanks for the words of support! I'm still a little nervous for this 10K but it will definitely be an eye-opening experience, because like you said, if I can do this, the possibilities are endless!! Hopefully it will all work out. Thanks again for the comment!
