I weighed in this morning, even though I am supposed to wait until Monday morning.
222! That means I lost three pounds this week! Super yay! I think eating right, and then going to work was what did it for me! I "busted" on Friday, which means unloading and stocking freight. So that was hard work. Yay for me. Super excited.

Sorry Tanner
Yeah. I was not focused on my weight this week. I ate alright. But my whole family fell off the wagon a bit, we have pizza one day, I had some beers one day (yay beer, I don't drink hardly at all anymore and I am almost as much of a lightweight as Tanner now). But I weighed in half way through the week, as a cheat, and I was on track to lose a pound or two. I think I slowed down the progress Friday and Saturday. But that's okay. I will try to post more, and to make better choices. I need to work out this week. I also have a lot of things to get organized since next week I will probably start working. But I have been trying to stay positive and remember my goals. I've been dreaming about what to wear when Tanner gets home. How it would be nice to lose weight and buy a new outfit, or a new skirt or something sexy.

Back on track
As you can see on the blog I lost five days from my challenge. I did work out at least one of those days. I have been eating well.
Not going to lie. I binged last night. I ate one and a half peanut butter sandwiches. After a healthy dinner. I don't know why I did it. I do know that when I lose focus, I compound it. I say, "well today was bad anyways, I might as well eat whatever I want." So knowing this, I need to find a solution. There are going to be some off track days. With the holidays coming up this might even happen more often. So I need some concrete solutions to avoid compounding one mistake on top of another.
Rhea has lost over 40 pounds now.
I am weighing in every monday morning now that we have a schedule. Today 226.
I want to weigh 145, which is what I weighed in high school. Perhaps more, if it means I have more muscle. So that means I have 81 pounds to lose. That seems like a lot right now. I would love to lose 15 - 20 pounds before Tanner gets home. I have a little over 8 weeks. That means I need to lose 2.5 pounds a week until he gets back. Rhea lost more then that the first few weeks, so I know it is possible. My long term goal is to lose 50 pounds by my birthday. Which is April 7th. Given the number of weeks left, it means I would need to average 2.2 pounds per week until April. Hopefully I can do that. It's not an unrealistic goal.
Yay let's go!

Okay
Day 12 and 13 didn't work out. Oof! I have noticed a pattern, I am not working out on the weekends.
Day 14 is this morning, I got up and worked out a little with Kim. But I didn't work hard enough and will have to do it again.
I need to put up some big loses these next few weeks.

Day 10 and 11
Day 10. I cleaned at Rhea's new apartment. I count that as a work out.
Day 11 was a dud. I didn't do anything for my health. Unfortunately.
Today, our new scale arrived. I weigh 230 pounds! YAY! I weighed about 233 for months, no matter what I did. So even those three pounds feels like an accomplishment.
Now I have an accurate starting point. I hope I can really lose a good amount of weight before Tanner gets home. I also hope I can lose 50 pounds by my birthday. That would be a really good goal.

Day 9 and going strong
I weight lifted today. I did my whole routine. It took maybe 15 minutes. So I didn't burn too many calories. My online fitness journal said that at my weight for that amount of time I burned 160 calories. But my arms are tired, even typing is a little harder. So I know I am building up my muscles. I think that is a really important part of getting in shape for me, to feel stronger.
I didn't eat too much. But I did eat fatty foods. I ate like three servings of cheese in a day. I think I was being a little emotional and craved fat. But at least I didn't overeat. I can recover from today.

Day 8
Only day 8? It seems longer then that.
This morning mom and I did a Jillian Michael's workout. It really works out some muscles, and makes me sore. Which is good. Our scale doesn't work very well. We are getting a new one. So I haven't weighed myself. But it makes me SO nervous. Have I lost weight? I'm doing everything right, if I haven't lost weight it will be a crushing blow.
Almost exactly 6 months until my 25th birthday. I want to have lost a real amount of weight by then. If I work hard I can lose 50 pounds by then. So that is a real goal, that I can work toward.

7.3
YAY!
Got up at 5:30 with Kim and walked. We walk briskly, and I jogged in intervals. I worked out harder this morning then some other mornings. So that felt good.
I napped when I needed to, still getting weird headaches.
I joined a website that can count my calories last night. So today I ate about 1,566 calories. That would be a little low, but I napped, and quilted mostly. So I wasn't very active, and its okay to eat fewer calories. According to this website my walk burned at least 289 calories.
Good to know. I'm doing well.
BEST YET! I made Fish Fragrant Beef, Broccoli and Mushrooms. It was perfect! It tasted just like in a restaurant, it was so soooo delicious. It makes me miss Tanner though, he would like it.

Day 6.3
Day 5.3 I ran out of time to work out. Oops.
I did volunteer though. I also volunteered today. I still have time to work out today also.
I also signed up a for a free journal so that I can count calories for a while. I eat well, but it would be good to be more aware of what I am eating. Also, I can pay attention to how many calories I am burning.
http://www.everydayhealth.com/ This is where I can keep my journal.
I think today I will dance for 20 minutes or half an hour for exercise.

Doing Good on Day 4.3
Day 3.3 was a bust. I had a sinus headache that hurt, and made me dizzy. So I took a break. I took care of myself. That was fine.
Day 4.2 Kim and I did a Jillian Michael's workout. It was way too hard for us, but we tried. We got our heart rate up,worked our muscles, so it was a success. I'm a bit sore in places, so that means it worked. I have been eating smaller meals and staying healthy. I think I lost a pound or two since last week. So I just need to stay on this track and I can lose weight.
Yay.
