Again, all things considered, this wasn't a terrible week. I lost another 2 pounds (today being weigh-in) so I'm happy about that. The last four days or so were very weird, and there isn't a lot in terms of healthy food on there - not many veggies and fruits, etc. I will say that I love these Johnsonville Turkey Cheddar smoked sausages. They are the same points value as a regular lite hot dog but way more filling, so I've been eating a lot of those as they are easy lunch options. What I really need to do is concentrate on eating more fruits and vegetables. But I have made some healthy changes overall, including swapping ground beef for turkey, whole wheat pasta for the bleached flour kind, egg substitute for real eggs (most of the time,) and lower fat/calorie chips and snacks. It's a good start.

Hmm, last week's goals...I think the only one I accomplished was drinking 64oz of water every day. The others...just did not happen. I did work out every day but the 4th, and I lifted weights a couple times but definitely not 5 days. I only increased my workout by 4 or 5 minutes - I thought it would be way more, but alas, the distance I added was shorter than I'd estimated. And I tried one new recipe, but never had the time to make another one. Ah well...there's time.

This week I'm at my parents' house because of a wedding and wedding-related festivities in Indiana. Seriously, it's no longer economically feasible to drive back and forth because of gas, so I'm here until next Sunday. That will make cooking for myself more difficult, so I'm not going to make a cooking goal. I will continue with the water goal and the working out every day goal...next week I'll add some more.

So you're down 12 pounds?? Girl, you rock! How am *I* doing? Well, I've been on vacation for two weeks, which generally translates into fast food and restaurants. I'm sadly, only a pound down from where I started. BUT I am definitely going to get back on track with eating/working out now that I'm back home. Vacation is a total weight-loss derailment.

I Wanna Be the the Awesome After Picture!

Okay, so here is good news:  the Doritos are officially out of the house.  The Snapple is out the house.  No more of that temptation!  (And seriously, I don't even like Doritos that much.. why did I buy them??) I'm going to consider this past week a failure, but from this point forward I'm going to work really hard to make progress.  I'm really bummed about my knee because it means that, in order to lose weight, I really need to zero in on my diet since I'm kind of limited with the cardio.  I'd rather pig out and then go for a nice long run, haha!  I think I can pretty easily figure out how to make healthy breakfasts and dinners, but lunches and snacks are my weakness. Maureen, any good, healthy, low-point lunch and snack ideas?  In the past, I have snacked on oyster crackers, fruit, carrots, etc.  Sometimes, though, when I snack I'm not really looking for a fruit or veggie.  I know that's bad and I should just get used to it!  ...

Not necessarily great, but could be worse?

Okay, so as of last post I said I was W-3.  I'm still technically W-3, but a couple days ago was W-5.  This tells me that, even though there might be a pound of two of fluctuation, my weight is at least on a downward trend!  (I'm not W PLUS anything, anyway.) In terms of counting points, I've been really bad.  Okay, by "really bad," I mean I haven't counted points since my last points post.  I am, however, at least being cognizant of what I eat and am trying to make better choices.  Today, for instance, my honors Sophomores were going to be watching V for Vendetta.  One of my students asked if he could go make a bag of popcorn.  I said, "Of course!  As long as you make me one, too."  So he comes back and hands me on of the bags.  Feeling guilty and fearing undoing the small loss I have accomplished, I changed my mind and gave the bag to another student in the class.  Soooo, not a huge deal, but I saved myself probably a coupl...

Return of the Coup!

So it's been a while.  (Five years, I think?)  And I am probably W+10 from when I first started this coup.  To be fair, I've had a third child, but it's really no excuse.  When I sit down and look at things, it has nothing to do with baby weight gain --I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight within a few months.  It has everything to do with my diet and, not to make excuses, but probably a lot to do with the "busy"ness of being a working mom: feeling too guilty to take time away from my boys to go for a run, turning to frozen pizza or McDonald's to get a quick meal in between caring for the kiddos and grading / planning, and choosing to zone out on my phone rather than going for run when I find myself with even a half hour of down time. I lost all the weight I gained after having Rhys fairly quickly, but I was still almost 15 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight with Ty.  So I took a picture.  Probably 3 months after Rhys was born, I decided tha...
