no weigh in pass

i'm extremely tempted to use the "no weigh in" pass at my next weigh in. especially after the week i've had. my good health guidelines are shit. i feel achy. and my period finally just ended today. hmmm.

or should i just own up to whatever weight i am this week and celebrate it no matter what?

i should have used the no weigh in pass after my birthday. lol. but eh whatever. man, its just too many birthdays, too much liqour and too much cake for the month of march and april! lol

weigh in 27

152.6 was the weigh in yesterday. a loss of 2.2 pounds. that was very surprising seeing as i pigged out last week. i almost don't believe the scale this week. because it likes to fuck with me.

this week should be good though. even though i woke up this morning with my period. it isnt a bad one. i'm not hurting as much as i could be hurting. so i'm still going to the gym in 2 hours.

alright, not much to say since i have much to do. i'm out.

i hate this

i just want to eat and eat. and i can never tell when to stop. its like im in some "feed me" trance right before my period and i'm scared its going to sabatoge me this week. :(

i need to take control though. i totally have control of what i put into my mouth. its crazy. i know i dont need it but then i eat it anyway. i had 37 points today. most of it was crackers, jelly and ice cream. tsk tsk. i guess all i can do is hide the food and do better tomorrow. i mean my week isnt wrecked or anything. unless i keep going down this road. i just need to stick to this number: 22! 22 points chick! that's all you need to have!

maybe i should just look at my weight watchers book and eat what they tell me to eat. this way its more strict. i have too much freedom right now. especially the week before period week. thats dangerous.

weigh in 26, weight day # 182

so i counted the days since i've joined weight watchers and its been 182 days. wow. long time. 6 months officially yesterday. i like my progress so far.

hate that i stepped on the scale today and weighed in at 154.8. 1 pound gain. especially when i stuck to my points and exercised 4 days. but i have to take in account that it's the week before my period and maybe my body is being funky.

i don't feel heavier. i actually fit into a size 9 jeans today. so all is good in the way my body feels. its just that fucking scale.

in other news my mom wants to try weight watchers with me because she needs surgery and they told her she needs to lose weight before she does surgery. so i'm excited to count her points and make sure she's having good health guidelines each week. because she's doing it from me, not paying for it. fun!

i made corned beef and cabbage today in honor of st. patty's day. it turned out to be only 6 points for dinner! woot! and it incorporated both healthy oils and vegetables. score! yum, i think i can make that any day.

weigh in 25

ahhh! i lost! i lost!!!!!!!!! *dances*

i weighed in today at 153.8 pounds. a loss of exactly 3 pounds. hard work does pay off. yes!

i don't expect to lose much next week. i expect to at least maintain because its my birthday week and you know how that goes. but my ass is still going to the gym whenever i can. i'm still sticking to my mon, wed, fri thing. and if i can i'll stick in more gym time on the weekend to balance out the cake, liqour, and good old fashion dinner i will be eating come this weekend. lol. hey your birthday is only once a year. :)

oh. i'm officially down 25 pounds! i'm so happy because i promised myself the hungry girl book at 25 pounds down. time to go shopping on amazon! i hope i can sustain this loss. to the gym i go!

burn baby burn!

i have been in the gym this past week more than i've been in the entire year of 2008! i went last monday, wednesday and friday. then i went again sunday that just passed. and then i went this afternoon. and i'm going tomorrow, i hope! i just love it!

so i scheduled myself to go to the gym mondays, wednesdays, and fridays. i'm tryna build up to 5 days a week. but as you can see i've already been going extra days. i want to go tomorrow because i know this week i will be having extra fat foods because it's my birthday week. i will not deprive myself of cake and liqour. ha!

i usually try to gain 3 to 4 activity points on the days i go to the gym and at least 1 on the days i don't go. so i do the treadmill for 30 minutes (walking and jogging) then i do the elliptical for 20 or 30 minutes depending on how i feel that day.

i hope these workouts pay off. i feel energized though and my body is so much easier to move around...if thats how you say it. i've also not dipped into my weekly's this week! i am so proud! its been a long struggle since 2009 started. i've been like off the band wagon but i feel like i got back on this week. tomorrow is weigh in day and i hope my hard work pays off. i've heard of people going to the gym and gaining. i dont understand that. but i know i did the work, now show me some results! please. hehe.

weigh in 24

i shouldnt be up. grr. 21 day challenge not going so well. maybe next time i should only choose one thing.

weighed in today at 156.8. i'm up 0.2. eh. nothing. the gym will catch up and my period just ended. so the craving of endless junk has stopped. i even had 5 points left for the day today! (well yesterday, its very late) bad. but i'm not gonna force myself to eat at night if i'm not hungry. i'm loosely following the meals they give us in book 1 to try and get back on the bandwagon. 3 point breakfasts....6 point lunches and so on. i feel better.

but anyway, check out my youtube video and youtube.com/leraloses.

i'm not dipping into weekly's this week. not for nothing. i told my boyfriend to literally smack any kind of junk food out of my hand if he sees me. i went over his house a few hours ago and he had donuts. DAMN! i tried to fight him for it. but he was good and i didnt eat any. lol. my b day is next thursday anyway. i can wait about a week to have some cake. :) till then...i'm at the gym hard body.

i want to lose!!!!!!
