Weekly Weigh In

Well last week I was at 305.5, and this week I am 306.4. I am going to review my week and see what is going on, I didn't track every day this week, but I thought that I did fairly well. This is the second week in a row that I have gained weight. 


Not pleased with myself on this one. 


On the other hand, I had a NSV, yesterday I was hanging with my friend Kristen and she was forcing me against my will, helping me with trying on some new clothes, I am getting married (duh) and in need of some nice clothing options for many events that are coming up this summer, some I know about, others, I have NO clue on. Anywho, well as I was trying some dresses on, I quickly realized that I am no longer a size 26 in dresses!!! That I have dropped at least to a 24, and in some even a 22! Sadly, jeans are still a 26, but hey, I am a W.I.M.P. after all, right?


Just keep swimming... 

Memorial Day Weekend

Hello Everyone, the weather is looking gorgeous for this coming holiday weekend. Hot and humid with a chance of thunderstorms every afternoon.

I am feeling much better, still 2 more days of my Z-pac, so I will be bringing that with me, as well as my Advil cold and sinus, but I think I am only going to take that when I need it. 

I won't have my laptop with me this weekend, even though the campground has free wifi, I wanted to experience camping, and laptop doesn't say camping to me. I will have my iPhone on me, so you'll probably see me lurking a little. I will hopefully be taking more pictures that I will share when I get back. 

Onto this week's weigh in, well I was up a tad, 306.7, to be honest, I wasn't feeling this week, being sick was really a drag, and I just didn't track my food. 

I will share a NSV, in that I went back to work on my first day (Wednesday, this week) and I started stress/mindless eating, I happen to look down and see Prior Fat Girls's One Bite One Decision bracelet and stopped the senseless eating. 

I am hoping that with me feeling better, I can get back into the tracking mode, however, I am going camping for 4 days, I am at least going to write everything down, that is the goal I am setting for myself. I am also planning on getting a lot of walking in. I am still not allowed to run, as I am still recovering. 

But come Tuesday, I'll be itching to get back on (the) track!

What are your Memorial Day weekend plans?

Weigh In

Well I didn't get a chance to post this on Tuesday, so I thought I'd get to it now.

Last week's weight: 290.8
This week's weight: 293.2
Gain: +2.4
Total Loss: -20.6

Well, a weekend at the track is most likely to blame, I didn't track my food and drank a lot of alcohol. However, it was so worth it, as I had a blast. I always look forward to spending time with my dad. In a previous post I talked about my NSV and climbing all the stairs. I was really proud of that. Also, getting my Gruve green 3 out of the 4 days we were up there. I knew the food would be bad, but I can control the activity, so that is what I chose to focus on.

This week, I am looking to losing the weight that I gained, and possibly losing more.

I've already had some struggles, I've attended 2 classes/trainings that are work related, I haven't been tracking my food like I should, and I really need to get back on the wagon. I will not achieve all of my September goals, but I am going to recommit to those that I do not achieve in October's monthly goals.

I really enjoy the meeting, and the support that it offers. This week's topic was about asking for help, and why we don't do it. Pride is usually the answer. We don't want to admit that we are weak. I can totally see that point, but I've already got Ben's support, every time I've asked if he's wanted to go for a walk with me, he does, and he's so good when I ask for his input. I need to ask the boys at work to help me out. One of my guys LOVES to cook, and I just have to be better about asking him what's in the food, so I can count my points.

On a side note, since this blog is about my life in general, I am trying to plan a wedding. Ultimately I'd like to find a venue and secure a venue and a date before the end of October. Then I would like to take a break from wedding planning until after the new year. I coordinate an annual toy bank program for children in the community that I work for, and it's a lot of work/stress.

Venue hunting has been very stressful, but Ben (H2B) and I are looking at a place on Saturday, and I am looking forward to our first adventure in wedding planning.
