Healthy Weight Loss

[Sparkle]

My goal is to do some sort of exercise every day this week.

Last week I started out so strong and then the combination of a big event on Friday night and out-of-town guests meant I didn't do any significant exercise on Saturday or Sunday. I could have made the time to run or walk, but I didn't and I'm sure it will show when I track my weight this week.

I definitely feel better when I've exercised every day (even if it doesn't feel like it at the time) and carving out time to exercise helps me to stay focused on making good food and portion decisions in the evening (when I'm most likely to be tempted). So, back on track, again.

Good morning & happy Monday y'all

Well, I overdid it this weekend. I ate too much, I drank too much and didn't hit the gym once. Ugh, I totaled up my points this morning, and I used 38 of my extra points allowed. Ok, not terribly too bad... but not good either.

During the week, I can stay hella focused on food & exercise. Our weekends are always filled with plans with friends or family.... and honestly, it's hard to remain focused on what I'm eating, if we're hovering over buffet setting food in the kitchen. Ugh, I have got to get it together ~ but I refuse to beat myself up AFTER THE FACT. Every meal or snack is a chance to make a healthier choice!

My weekly weigh in is on Thursday, but I weighed myself this morning to see if/what damage the funfilled weekend did. It showed a 1 pound weight gain... but I KNOW that I didn't drink near enough water. So, I'm thinking that if I chug more water than I can stand, stick to eating healthier and get some exercise in, I can still pull of a weight loss for the week.

THANK YOU everyone for sharing, encouraging, supporting and posting all these yummy receipes! I hope that you all have a wonderful day!!!!

So I went to my wonderful and amazing gay yoga on Sunday afternoon. Holy Hanna... I love that boy, but I had sweat rolling out of my hair and down my back. I think it could be considered a good workout. The muscles along my spine are, well chastising me. Tonite is Zumba. In my morning fog I packed my workout bag, got to work and realized that I forgot my pants. So, I went to winners and luckily got a pair from the clearance rack ...

I did measure myself - thanks again PinkieLee - and I think I measured my thighs wrong last week, cause this week I measured five inches less. So, although that would be nice, I know how my pants fit. But I did lose inches everywhere, except my breasts (whew). I kind of want to hang on to my girls for as long as I can !

I am here to wish everyone an amazing and success filled week.

Fell off the healthy food wagon and bounced hard a couple of times the past few days. It's really difficult around my parents, especially my mother, who thinks she has to make every form of sausage when my sisters and I are home. And my sister makes these cornflake and peanut butter gooey treats...I resisted the first couple of days and then caved after that. Argh!

So back to clean eating today, even though I am still here for one more day. Focusing on small bites. And I'm about to leave for the beach for a swim.
