Weigh-In Friday

Well I was off today so I decided to go to the AM meeting.....of course before I ate anything!  To my surprise I had lost 2.2 pounds this week!!  I made up for my gain from last week...YAY =)

It was an interesting topic this week...breakfast.  I start work at 6:30am so I don't usually eat anything until 9-10am.  It's mostly oatmeal or anything microwavable.  Some of the other members were chiming in with different ideas.  The one that stuck with me is......an Arnold Thin, 1 Tbsp of peanut butter, and banana slices.  OMG, it sounds heavenly!!!  I'm am ADDICTED to peanut butter.  I usually do a snack of PBJ on a bagel thin but to add a banana on it sounded great.

Next week I may go to the Thursday meeting.  I leave for Daytona Beach Friday evening & will be gone the whole week.  I'm hoping to be able to control myself and at least maintain when I get back home.

Weigh in Friday...not so good this week

Well Friday's weigh in didn't go as good as the last few.  I've gained 1.4lbs.  I know what I did wrong though, I've been very leinant on myself and missed tracking a few days.  I'm back in the zone now and will get it back off.  I also had finals this week so I'm sure that helped with the gain.  At this meeting they had some of their snacks on sale so I picked up the BBQ pop chips, cinnamon swirl pop crisps, and the cinnamon crumb supreme bars (my favorite).  Will be doing grocery shopping today & stocking up on lots of good stuff!  Until next time.

First 10 pounds=GONE

Yesterday was my weigh in.  I kind of had an idea of what the scale would show since I'm a serial weigher. LOL  We also have a Biggest Loser competition going on at work and that weign in was yesterday morning.  OK, enough typing....now on to the good part.  This week I managed to lose 3.4 pounds bringing my total to 10.4!!!!  I lost my first 10 pounds since starting!!!!!  My leader wasn't there so we had a fill-in & she couldn't find the 5lb sticker so I will have to get one next week.  I love opening my weight tracker & seeing all the stickers on there.  I did manage to get a Bravo star though. LOL

Tonight we have a birthday party at a pizza place...great.  I will try and load up on salad and have only a slice or two of plain cheese or veggie pizza.

Weigh In Friday

I was pleasantly surprised with this week's weigh in since it was after Easter.  Down 0.4 for a total of 7.4lbs lost so far.  I also decided to purchase a pedometer this week.  A small investment in my health!  I used it all day Saturday and came up with about 9000 (plus some) steps and earned 5 activity points.  Sunday I noticed I didn't do as many so I dragged myself, the hubby & the dog on a family walk!

Goal for this week is to walk more & increase my water intake.  I used to like water but it's been so blah lately.....thank goodness for Crystal Light!

Have a great week!!!!
