Finally!

I put off blogging once again because I was so dissapointed. Last week I only lost 0.8lbs. I was a little bit discouraged. This week though I was very surprised. I lost 4.8lbs. That brings my total loss to 11.6lbs. Not bad for one month, I have to say! I have lost almost 5% of my total body weight. I am much happier tonight!

Disappointed!

I am a little behind. I was trying to procrastinate for as long as I could. I only lost 0.4 lbs last week. I was very sad. I knew I had lost less but didnt know it was less than a pound. My total weight loss so far is 6 pounds which isnt too bad for 2 weeks. Hopefully I have lost more this week. I will find out in 2 days.....SCARY!!! Time is going by so fast. I havent been as good at working out the last few days. I have had a bit of a cold and just havent felt like it but I know that I need to get going again. I feel SOOO much better when I do.

Oh well...

I can pretty much gaurantee that I havent lost as much weight this week. But thats OK! I started working out with the exception of yesterday but I plan to work out extra today to make up for it. I have started eating much healthier except the fries I have ate a couple of times. I still stayed within my points though! I have been getting in all of my fruits and vegetables. I eat only low calorie, fat free wheat bread. I switched to spray "butter". I eat turkey on my sanwiches rather than ham and I quit putting miracle whip on them. I switched to diet Pepsi. I wish I could quit drinking soda all together but as long as I go to school and work nights I need my Pepsi! I have had way less heart burn/acid reflux!!! Yay!! Working out feels great. I am very out of shape so I cant do much to start out with but I am able to do more than I thought I would have done. I have been using the Gazelle at my moms house when I go over. It hurts my feet a little but its a great little piece of equipment. I know I should go over to the club house and jump on the treadmill but I am still a little nervous! I dont have an Ipod or anything to listen to. Thats just boring! I think I may go buy one tomorow though! They are $150 for an 8 GB at Target right now. Thats not to badof a price. I know I would never regret buying one, its just getting up the nerve to spend that much money at once.

YAY!!

So my total weight loss this week was 5.6lbs. That is just crazy! I am not sure how it happened, but I am ecstatic!!! I earned my first Gold Star today! For every 5lbs that I lose I will recieve 1 Gold Star! Kind of childish but I look forward to earning more. 94.4 pounds to go!!!

Lessons learned....

I know that I said I wouldnt blog again until tomorow but I thought I'd type a few things while I wait for Jaydens bus to get here. In the last couple of days I have learned a few things. #1. Apples taste really good. Its not like I never ate apples before but I forgot how sweet they can taste. #2.Teriyaki sauce must have some sugar in it. I have never ate many teriyaki flavored foods because I didn't think I really liked the taste. It is low in points though so I thought I would try it on some chicken. After tasting just a bite I realized it was nasty and mixed the rest of my sauce with a little bit of brown sugar and it was tasty! #3. Low fat sour cream tastes pretty good! #4. I can still eat everything I love while on Weight Watchers and be satisfied.
#5. I need to eat small amounts often if I want to prevent myself from starving. I have been eating snacks like string cheese, 15 garden vegetable wheat thins, 100 calorie snacks(many kinds), and granola bars. Each of these are 2 points. I can have 30 points every day. Any vegetables that are green are 0 points. I love celery!!! I have 35 points I can eat each week for special occasions. I am kind of pretending these points dont exist but at some point I may use them like on Birthdays, or family dinner once a month, bunko, or whatever. I will try to save points up throughout the day by eating lots of 0 and low point items. Such as Progresso soups that have 1 or 0 points. I really hope that tomorow I have lost a couple of pounds or at least 1 pound. I have been doing pretty good although, I have yet to start working out but now finals are over with I will have lots of time to get started.
