Today was a good start to getting back on track! I stayed within my calorie intake limit, got in a good workout and met my calorie burn goal. I drank over 100 oz. of water, so hopefully my water retention will go away.
I'm sleepy, so I'm keeping this post short...I'll update again tomorrow! :)

Blog Neglect...
For the last two weeks I feel like I have kind of gotten off track. I've gone out of town for two weekends in a row, gotten off of my plan and neglected my blog...good news is, I am back on track today!
This past weekend, I went to New Orleans. I tried to be "good" and I actually did ok with NOT going overboard, food-wise. I ate foods that were not on my plan, but I tried to watch my portion sizes - I feel like I did a pretty good job with that. Although, I did okay with my eating, I really blew it with the drinks this weekend. I had way too many fruity, sugary mixed drinks & daiquiris. I planned to stick to wine or rum & diet coke, and not to over do it with either one....BUT I got into the Mardi Gras spirit a little too much and overindulged. :(
Even though I "messed up" this weekend (and last), I am starting to learn how to avoid making the same mistakes twice. After the girls' weekend at the ranch, I decided I would not go out of town again and completely go off of my plan...no more mindless eating. I realized that it is ok to have a little treat here and there, but it is not ok to throw out everything that I know about healthy eating and go nuts with the cheese dip! I've also learned a valuable lesson this weekend -- being in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, did not give me a free pass to "sample" every drink on Bourbon Street! I will be going again this weekend, but I will do things totally different. I will still make the healthiest choices possible when eating at a restaurant, and limit myself to 1 or 2 glasses of wine. The rest of the time, I will stick to drinking water. Also, I am going to make sure that I get some exercise in while I'm there.
I knew that I would face my biggest challenge by going out of town. It's much easier to stick with it when I am at home, doing my normal routine. I have to find a balance with staying on track and still being able to take a weekend trip or a vacation and enjoy myself. I enjoy traveling and I don't want to feel like I can never leave town, for the fear of "falling off the wagon" again. There is no reason why I can't go an do the fun things that I love to do, and still continue to lose weight. The reality is, to be successful, you have to find a way to live a normal, healthy lifestyle - no matter where you are. Calories still count when you leave your zip code. ;)

Quick Post
I'm just going to give a quick update before I go to bed. I've been up wayyy too late packing for my trip to New Orleans tomorrow...I am so sleepy! My eating and exercise were both great today...looks like I'm back on track! :)
Not going to list all my food today - just going to give a total because I have got to get some rest -- I consumed a total of 890 calories for the day. Not too bad...I probably should have had a little more to eat, but I was too busy packing to even think about food.
Goodnight everyone! :)

Back to normal!
Whew! Today is going MUCH better than the last few! My eating is back on track and that tired, sluggish feeling that I have had all week is finally gone. Tomorrow I leave to go to New Orleans for the weekend, and I am determined to do much better on this trip than the last one. As long as I can get a lot of walking in and eat and drink in moderation, I should be just fine! I can't wait to get there...Mardi Gras is my favorite!

Today was a little bit better....just a tiny, tiny bit
It was still a tough day...I was still a little hungrier than normal...and I ate a little more than I should have. I'm not going to let myself get discouraged by this - I'm just going to keep working hard.
Despite my eating being a little off today, my workout was great! I did an hour and 10 minutes on the elliptical and then did some lunges, squats and upper body exercises. I burned a little over 700 cals! :)
Looks like I should exceed my calorie burn goal today, so that will make up for me going over my calorie intake limit.
I know that tomorrow will be better...hopefully my carb craving will lessen a little...this hunger thing is killing me!!!
So, here's what I had today:
Breakfast: Smart Ones French Toast w/ Turkey Sausage
Snack: Beef Jerky and 100 calorie popcorn
Lunch: 6" Turkey Subway Sandwich w/ popchips
Snack: Beef Jerky and Popchips (I probably should have had the grapefruit that was sitting on my desk)
Another Snack: Lightly Frosted Mini-wheats cereal (1.5 servings....that's where I messed up)
Dinner: Salad w/ goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, light balsamic vinaigrette
Okay, so the grand total is..........1537 calories :(
I'm not happy about my eating today, but I can see where I need to make improvements and where I could have made better choices. Tomorrow will be a better day! :)

Rough day...
Today was not easy...AT ALL. I tried sticking to smoothies and veggies, but I was soooo hungry. I did ok, but not as good as I wanted too. Tonight was the hardest part...I didn't eat anything bad, but I wanted to eat a lot less than I did today. I did stick to drinking a ton of water though...and I'm about to Zumba it up in my living room with my new Wii game! I've decided to just go back to my normal eating tomorrow and quit trying to "fix" the damage from the weekend with some crazy "diet"...those damn "diets" are what got me here in the first place.
Okay, so here's the plan:
1. Stick to my 1250 calorie limit or less
2. Go to spin & do a little extra cardio
3. Drink 100 ounces of water
4. DON'T STRESS ABOUT THE SCALE!
Here's what I had today...
Breakfast: Smoothie
Snack: Cucumbers and vinegar
Snack: Popchips
Lunch: Smoothie, cucumbers & vinegar
Snack: Popchips
Snack: Handful of Sugar Free Jordan Almonds & Yogart Parfait
Dinner: Broccoli & Cauliflower w/ cheese sauce, Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1333
So, looking back at my food log, I snacked wayyyyy too much today....ughhh...
Tomorrow is a new day and it will be a better day!
UPDATE:
Okay, so I usually try to keep my posts very positive and try to continuously pump myself up...always cheering myself on..."go me!", "awesome workout", "I'm so excited..." blah, blah, blah, etc....
Today was not a "pump myself up" kind of day....so I thought I would elaborate a little more on my earlier post.
I feel like I totally let myself down this weekend. I went out of town for a fun trip and did exactly what I told myself I WOULD NOT do. All day long I have felt guilty about what I ate over the weekend, and how I got NO exercise. I feel like I took a big step backwards in the progress that I have been making and it is soooooooooo FRUSTRATING!!!! I'm terrified that I will get discouraged...that I will repeat mistakes like I have done in the past....that I could easily go back to all of my old habits without even really realizing it...and bam! everything I've done would be undone, just like that. I felt horrible today...not just because of the guilt from the weekend, but I literally felt bad...sick, bloated, tired, sluggish...all of that - but, there is good news in all of this....
I KNOW WHY I FEEL THE WAY I DO TODAY.
I am recognizing the struggle that I will have to face time and time again...I am recognizing the way that food effects my body...I am recognizing that this journey will not always be easy...and I am recognizing that I have in NO WAY overcome my weakness to temptations. For the first time, I am acknowledging my mistakes and my struggles...analyzing why I slipped up...and making a plan to be more successful the next time that I am faced with a challenge.
This past weekend showed me that going back to my old lifestyle would not be difficult, but it also made me realize more than ever, why I do not want to go back. This crappy feeling I have today, has been constant for years...I am not going back to that! I may have taken a few steps backwards this weekend, but I am back today and marching straight down that road to my goal, full speed ahead!

Vacation Temptation...
Hello everyone! Sorry I have had to neglect my blog over the weekend...girls weekend was out on a big ranch with no internet access, so I was without my normal comforts, but the trip was a much needed break. I wish I could write this post about how wonderful I did with my eating and exercising this weekend, but sadly, that is not the case. I'm not going to go on too much about it, but when you get five girls together, coupled with a snack spread, lifetime movies, and a fully stocked bar...it's never going to be a pretty picture. Let's just say that they cheese dip and chocolate chip cookies called my name one too many times. Ugghhh...moving on though.
As we speak, I am drinking a big smoothie and will be getting back to the gym and on my eating plan tomorrow morning! I would like to stick to drinking smoothies and eating fresh veggies for about 2 days...just to kind of cleanse my body. I feel a little swollen and bloated...I won't be stepping on that scale for a few days....I'd rather not see the damage that I did this past weekend.
I did try to drink a lot of water this weekend and I also tried to make healthy choices when we ate our meals...I just really blew it with the snacking.
This upcoming weekend will be challenging as well when I visit New Orleans, but I am just going to work super hard this week and try to make better choices and do less snacking.
Ok, so back to the program tomorrow!!!

My Drug of Choice...
Well, I've lost 2 of the 7 pounds that my scale says I've "gained." Whatever. The scale is a BIG FAT LIAR...and no matter how much I try to convince myself to stay off of it, my curiousity won't let me do it. I swear, I'm like a crackhead for the scale. Good news is, I know I'm losing inches, because my jeans keep falling down today. Trying not to stress about my number too much...but I would like to see it go down some more this week. I have my first challenging weekend coming up...I am determined to stay on track. I'll be headed to the gym tonight to do some serious cardio...hopefully my weight will be back to normal tomorrow. I've been drinking lots of water today, so hopefully I can sweat out all this extra water weight....we shall see!

Happy Valentine's Day to me!
I got some awesome goodies from my Valentine's Day swap partner, Janna! I'm so excited to try out these DVDs and put that journal to use! Thank you sooooo much, Janna!
Today was a good day...still a little peeved about the weight gain, but I'm going to chalk it up to water weight and try not to stress about it.
I went to Zumba tonight...still lovin' it...it's so much fun and the hour workout goes by soooo quick! I burned more calories tonight than usual...I think it's because I'm starting to learn the moves and am able to get into it more. So fun....love it! AND....I burned about 650 calories!
So, here's the food log today...did pretty well...considering it was Valentine's Day....
Breakfast: Weight Control Oatmeal & Green Grapes 264 cals
Snack: Fiber One Peanut Butter Bar 150 cals
Lunch: Subway Turkey Sandwich (6" wheat) 218 cals
Snack: Chocolate Pudding 60 cals
Valentine's Treat: Chocolate Coverd Strawberry (1) & Small Handful of Peanut M&Ms 109 cals
Dinner: Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls 200 cals
Snack: Muscle Milk Light - Chocolate 170 cals
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1171
Not much to say today...
My scale was a horrible liar this morning...says I gained 7lbs over one day...seriously. The day after I lost 3 lbs, I manage to gain 7!!!!! What the heck?????? I went over my calories yesterday, but not by much...and according to my BodyBugg I still burned wayyyy more calories than I took in. The only thing I can think, is that I'm probably retaining water...again. I made some soup the other night, that may have had more sodium than other things I've been eating...and I noticed that my fingers were swollen when I woke up this morning...so that has to be it. NO ONE should gain 7 lbs overnight...especially with what I have been eating. Uggghhhh! So frustrating! And this is why "they" say you shouldn't weigh daily...I think I get it now...

Yesterday and Today
I forgot to post my food last night so I will post yesterday and today in this one. Today has been a little harder than usual. I'm sure it's because I haven't been really busy today, so that leads to boredom eating...ughh. I still went to workout earlier so that was a plus, but I've just been feeling hungrier than normal today. I haven't had anything crazy...just wanted to eat more food and more often. Oh well, I guess everyone has "those" days.
So, here's what I've had today...
Breakfast: Egg Whites, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, green grapes 219 cals
Snack: 2 Wasa Crisp w/ PB2 Butter Butter and drizzle of maple syrup 131 cals
Another Snack: Unsalted pretzels w/ Hummus 145 cals
Lunch: Corn Chowder 277 cals
Snack: Kashi Cereal 190 cals
Dinner: Chicken Breast w/ goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes,
broccoli w/ light cheese sauce, corn 365 cals
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1327
Ok, so I went over my 1250 limit today, but not by much. I was under 1250 every other day this week, so I guess it all kind of evens out! :)
Here's yesterday's log:
Breakfast: Egg Whites w/ goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes 131 cals
Lunch: Tuna Sandwich on Orowheat Thins w/ pretzels 402 cals
Snack: Apple 61 cals
Dinner: Corn Chowder 339 cals
Snack: Fat-Free, Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding w/ Sugar Free Cool Whip 220 cals
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1153

Super Saturday!
So, I didn't get a chance to post my food log yesterday. I didn't do great...meaning I didn't really eat enough yesterday...and I had a few drinks last night. BUT I still went to workout and I the drinks didn't make me exceed my maximum calorie intake.
Here's what I had yesterday:
Breakfast: Weight Control Oatmeal 160 cals
Snack: 100 Calorie Popcorn 100 cals
Lunch: Smart Ones Mini Rigatoni w/ Vodka Cream Sauce 290 cals
Snack: Fiber One Peanut Butter Bar 150 cals
Dinner: 1/2 Kashi TLC Chewy Granola Bar (not a very good dinner) 60 cals
Drinks: Rum & Diet Coke (3 drinks) 321 cals
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1081
Okay, so I didn't pretty well until dinner time...a 1/2 of a granola bar is NOT a good meal! ;)
On a better note, I had a happy morning on the scale!
I LOST 3 MORE POUNDS!!!!!
That makes 4 pounds for this week and 23 pounds overall!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!
I don't feel this way about my scale today...but I had to share this! Too Funny!
Friday, February 11, 2011
Finally Friday...
107 days left in my 118 day challenge...45 pounds left to go! I still need to lose 2 pounds by this Sunday if I want to reach my weekly goal...better work hard this weekend. :)
I've got two weekends of out-of-town trips coming up, which in the past meant "diet goes out the window..." because it doesn't count if your out of your area code, right? Seriously, my logic was so messed up. So, those two weekends will be challenging, but I am determined to stay on track. The first trip is a girls weekend at a ranch near Austin...we'll be doing some shopping, and relaxing...that's pretty much it. I'm going to bring my Wii w/ Just Dance & Just Dance 2, so we can have some fun and get exercise at the same time. Because we are staying in a house, we won't have to eat out for all of our meals, so that should make things a lot easier. The following weekend, I'm headed to New Orleans with my friend Stephanie, to go have some Mardi Gras fun! This is where I'm going to really be tested. I know New Orleans means a lot of yummy food and yummy drinks and I know I'll be eating foods that are higher in calories and enjoying some drinks too...but my plan is to keep it as healthy as possible and to make sure and do a lot of walking...which means I'll probably need to do A LOT of shopping to make sure that happens! :)
Like I've said before, this is no longer a "diet" for me -- it is a complete life change. If I am going to be able to do this forever, I have to be realistic about things and realize that there will be times that will challenge me...there will be times where I'll need to increase my exercise to combat eating over my calorie limit...there will be times that I do not see that number on the scale go down...there will be temptations...there will be times when I give into that temptation...but even better, there will be many times that I will NOT give in to that temptation! Vacations and weekend getaways will always be challenging, but as long as I stay aware of what I am eating and don't go overboard, I'll survive! :)

Takin' a break today... (NEW PROGRESS PIC!)
To meet my goals, I have planned to workout 6 days a week - so I'm making today my "off day." I've been pushing really hard and it caught up with me today. Come to think of it, last Thursday was my "off day" too...I guess 6 days in a row takes it's toll. I know how important it is to give your body a rest, so that's what I am doing tonight.
My eating was good today...still sticking to my plan and staying on track! Since I have hit the 20 pound mark, I took another progress picture! The first picture is after I lost 9 pounds (I didn't take one until a week after I started this.)
I'll post the next picture at -30 pounds! I'm thinking that the solid black is not doing much good for showing any progress....maybe I'll change it up a little next time. So, I can't really see much of a difference (except in my face), but I can feel the difference in the way that my clothes are fitting, and of course, the way that I feel! That's the most important thing, right? :)
Here's today's food log:
Breakfast: Michaelina's Lean Gourmet Breakfast Muffin 180 cals
Snack: Fiber One Peanut Butter Bar 150 cals
Lunch: Smart Ones Swedish Meatballs 270 cals
Snack: 100 Calorie Popcorn 100 cals
Dinner: Egg white omelet w/ goat cheese & sun-dried tomatoes, pretzels w/ hummus 375 cals
Snack: 1/2 cup Bell Blue Frozen Yogurt - The Great Divide 110 cals
Snack: Banana Peppers 10 cals
TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1195
Overall, it was a good day...BUT after looking at my food log, I definitely need wayyyy more fruits and veggies in my diet, so I'm going to work on that! :)
