I have been doing well with the food intake and such but that wine just does me in. My girlfriend came over and we drank 2 bottles (she had just done a washington state wine tour) between us and that makes me mad at myself. All that sugar and useless calories and I feel like crap the next day. I have been doing better cutting out the wine but obviously I need to work harder. I can do this! I want to feel better!

Well, yesterday was my day off, a Monday of all days. I ended up going to the gym and walking/pittle jogging the track for an hour or so. I still wanted to remain active, I just didn't do anything to hard. I also was able to maintain eating good today, despite finding myself bored in the middle of the day and stressed at other parts of the day. That's a HUGE deal for me.
It was a good day... And here we are, Tuesday morning. Back to the gym for a challenging workout today. Get it on. It's also been one week, so I think I'm going to weigh in today. I'm a little nervous about doing so (I don't want to find myself getting discouraged), but I am now only 10 days away from my big Gorge weekend, I haven't worn anything but elastic waisted clothes for over a week, and I have been on a serious cleanse. I will be updating my chart later for all to enjoy! :)

Its all good in the hood ...little stressy and hungry but I am fine :) I have decided to stay in the "points" I know it so well I have the book Its easy for me to calculate give or take . According to WW I am alowwed 31 points a day , you get more for exersise ...so my goal is to stay under 30 for a day . As I loose weight it will go down etc..... Calorie counting is to much for me but I believe every point is 60-100 calories if Im not mistaken :) soooooooo good food day for Day 4!
B - Oatmeal/Raisns
S - Pistachio
L - Pita, Turkey, Vegies , 1 Slice Cheese Dry
SS w/ dab of Blue Cheese
D- Ground Turkey white meat only , green enchiladas with low carb tort.(did have sour)
D- Jello with Whip
Walked with Steve 35 minutes (BRISK) it was nice :)
On to day 5......... Little hungry and sleepy this am :)

K.....I am booking along for 2 weeks now, running 4 miles at a time, and almost 5..., averaging 14-15 miles a week......then I get on the treadmill yesterday and I can hardly run 3 miles!
Can we say REGRESS?
Spirits are still high! I have 3 runs left to complete week 3! A 4 mile tonight, 3 tomorrow, then 7 Thursday! YIKES! A weekly total of 17 miles! Whew buddy!
Sigh....hopefully today's run will be a wee-bit easier! Slow and steady wins the race, eh?
Cheers...Krysta

I would like to get past 140 by the end of the week. I am so sick of being in the 140s & 150s. I am close but I have to keep my eye on the goal. This website is going to help me. I look forward to meeting other people out there.
Falling off the wagon...once again

Ok im really having a hard time. Iv been weighing myself and checking in but I havent wrote on here in a few days or logged in a weight because these last couple days i have been BAD...and im getting so discouraged with myself. Tommorow is a new day and Im sure you all know the feeling when tommorow is a new day...I hope I can control myself...Some of you might wonder what triggered this long entry and all this negative energy..well tonight I was looking at wedding dresses and all of that and the ones I really loved didnt come in my size and well im sure you all know what a emotional time that any type of clothing can be let alone your wedding dress...I just want to buckle down and do what I need to do. well thats all for now. I will update my weight tonight b4 bed even though its very embarassing..oh and by the way i think its amazing that it takes a week or 2 to lose 5 pounds and just a day to gain 5 pounds...thats no fair!! Anyways -keep up the good work everyone! those who are a bit more un-motivated like myself well your not alone and try to stay strong. :) goodnight everyone.

Today my brother and I played tennis for 1 and a half hours. It was a lot of fun and I kicked his butt. My friend and I played for 3 hours on Wednesday so I'm getting a little better. I just wish I had more people to play with so I could do it more often. Oh well. We also mowed and spent time out in the garden. I think some of my weight problem is that I don't eat more than one meal a day and then just a snacky thing for supper so I am going to start trying to eat breakfast and now that Katie is old enough to eat regular food making more of an all around meal for suppers.

I am so glad that I got to get down passed 150. I have one more pound to lose until I have lost ten pounds.

The extreme heat exploded into thunder, lightening, and rain in the night. Now the heat is a bit lower but the humidity is extreme. It feels like a sauna. But the rain is such a welcome relief from the extreme heat. I took yesterday off from exercise and my legs are feeling better. But I am still highly sleep deprived and not functioning well. I will make myself do a light something kind of workout today just so I can get a good sleep tonight. I have jumped over into the bad eating though. Trying to keep it to just a couple indulgences and get back to my program. The last few day have been such a meltdown literally and emotionally I just need to ease up or I think I am going to self combust.
