I’m moving home, I’m moving home doo doo doo doo doo! Whoop! I am so damn excited. For those of you who do not know, I live in a small apartment with my boyfriend and have come to realize that living on my own I can save NO money. It’s nearly impossible. I move home & I save over $400/mo! WHAT?! How can I NOT move home plus my dad practically begs me to move home every time I see him so this will make him ecstatic! And I am going to completely makeover my room. New paint, new furniture, new…

That's right.. I can't wait til my noon WI!
I "think" I am going to have a good week! According to MY scale I should be down 2 lbs or so! Hopefully their scale won't disappoint me!
Tonight I'm invited to a Pampered Chef party but I haven't decided if I am going or not. I may choose to go to the gym instead? We'll see. And tomorrow I am invited to a coworkers home for a Pre-Holiday Open House. She is making a ton of cold and warm appetizers, so before I go I'll make sure to get a run in (or I'll…

But the first beach of phase 1 of south beach sure is fun :) 168.8 this morning! Whoooooooo hooooooooooooooooo. I realize that this will slow next week and then more when I move into phase 2, but it sure is good for the ole' momentum building to see such quick results in the beginning. It really does make a difference for me as far as developing good habits....by the time the weight loss slows, the habits are there and some of the bad ones are gone, or at least under control. Did have 6 ounces o…

What to think about all this anymore. I hate feeling like its not good enough, I hate feeling like I'm wasting my time. I hate that no matter how hard I work myself it's not enough. I want to cry, scream, run, hide. Since I started doing this weight watchers I've barely been eating. I am eating my allotted points a day but it's apparently not enough when I go to bed exhausted and with a growling stomach. I'd rather just starve, at least I KNOW that works. I haven't walked in two days but the one…

I was 153 exactly this morning. Up 2.8lbs from two weeks ago, but still better than regaining everything I have lost! I am trying to stay positive about it, can you tell? ;-)
I ate really well yesterday until the MIL dropped off some cookies she made...then the husband and I snacked on them after dinner with the kids. I had the attitude of, well I am already negative 27 points this week, what is another spritz cookie gonna do? Then I snacked on peanuts and cheese LOL. Today is a new day, and I…

I'm not sure if I'm posting correctly, or if my computer at work just won't let my post show, but I've written a couple other posts that have not shown up. Even on my own page, weird.....something is happening, but I don't know what! :-)
Anyway, still no "extracurricular" sugar going as as I like to call it. Last night I had a tasty, though not very healthy dinner from Applebees. I had the bruschetta chicken sandwich which is sooo flavorful and delish, but I also had the fries. Normally when I e…

Last night's weigh in, down 2 lbs, total 17.8. I am happy. I didn't get to weigh in on Thanksgiving so I missed a week and I was worried. I did not journal as well as I should have. If I work really hard this next week, hope to hit the big 20. Keeping my fingers crossed. I want that 25 start by Christmas.

OK, so I have not been to the gym in a month. My goal is to go once in the next three days. My eating has been OK but not great. This time of year is horrible for me. I am working two jobs and I tend to lose focus easily. I can get back on track though. I am not usually up at this time but I cannot sleep so here I am. Thankfully, I do not have to work tomorrow (today) but I have to do a lot of shopping. I have my meals planned though so I should have a good day. Have a Happy Friday everyone.

The last two days were bad. After posting here on Tues night/ Wed dawn, I was filled with hope and determination. On Wed, I was very good during the daytime. I stuck to my plan and didn't binge. But when nighttime came, I couldn't resist. I binged on over 1500cal of bread, cereal and crackers at 2am. I was so ashamed and disappointed, and couldn't get over it so the binging continued into Thur afternoon, Thur night...... Why the heck did I need to eat 3000cal everyday for the past two weeks? The…

... It's probably not why I had such a great, OP day — but I'm sure it didn't hurt, either.
At about 5 p.m., I fixed myself some instant oatmeal (with a few blueberries added in) as an afternoon snack. Now, I'm not one to snack on oatmeal — I don't even eat it for breakfast that often, but I'm glad I decided to give it a try. Not only did it taste delicious, it also kept me full until 8:30. Yep. I didn't take my dinner break until 8:30 — and then I was able to eat a fairly small dinner and not…

I am ashamed as I type this. I yet again gained this week, I feel as though I have let myself and the weight loss community down. We are all here to motivate each other and lose weight together... I feel very far from that. I have not been inspiring in any way this week. I don't have any excuses for what happened aside from the fact that I weighed in on a Thurs night instead of the usual Friday morning. I did not track properly, I "sneaked" food without writing it down, and I have completely ign…

So I tried another new class at the gym tonight. It was called Rahini Yoga. It is "healing yoga" and is supposed to help you relax. Well first of all I tried not to burst out laughing when in the beginning we had to do these loud deep breaths to cleanse ourselves and let out the bad energy. The teacher was almost on the verge of giggling too but I think he might have smoked a joint beforehand because he was really mellow and relaxed...lol. Then I felt like I was tripping out on acid because we h…

from all the neuroscience studies i've read, stress = cortisol = fat. however what about the good kind of stress? like the kind that motivates you to get your work done?
if i could take the energy i use to acquire a muffin in such times and direct it towards powering through my textbook, i'd be all set.
i think it was good of me to have a kinda filling kinda "healthy" amy's meal (i'm swearing off amy's teriyaki bowls for the rest of the week, though. i'm close to getting too much of a good thi…

I've been feeling a little blah the past couple of days. All my family guests from Thanksgiving have gone home and I guess part of it is that I miss them. Another thing is that I missed going to my WI yesterday. I had a hard-to-get doctor's appointment that lasted about twice as long as I had allowed for and I had agreed to accompany my Dad (who is 91) to a West Point luncheon. Both were non-negotiable. The WI got lost in the time crunch and, even tho' I'm fairly sure I lost a bit, I feel like I…
