I had to read my previous post before writing this one. I wanted to make sure I report back on everything I said I would do. I actually did fairly well this week. My vow was to write everything down (I did), to continue to exercise (I did, a little more this week than last week) and to stay within my points 6 of the 7 days (I did not... I would say 4 1/2 days I did well with my points).
Friday my mom and I went to the movies and I had popcorn - didn't have points for it... and then we had ice cream when we got home. Again didn't have the points for it. I had the weekly points for it, just not daily... so I count this as my bad day.
I was bad (very bad) at the party on Saturday, but I was able to ward off the alcohol pusher. This person kept pressuring me to drink. She just wanted someone to drink with and I was 1 of 3 people she knew at the party... and we used to party hard when I was younger. I kept repeating, I'd rather eat my points than drink my points. I seriously had to say this over 5 times. I was getting kinda pissed as she knows how hard it is to lose weight, be strong against food and drinking, and she's a good friend of mine. She finally got me to take one sip of her drink - OMG it was horrible (thankfully). There was way too much alcohol in it for my liking - so that was good enough for me to satisfy her and not make me crave a whole drink. There were many good appetizers that I did indulge in, but I really tried to semi-control myself. When things were too large, I cut them in half. I made a healthier appetizer myself - as healthy as I could. I made a veggie pizza - people were RAVING about it. I'll post the recipe on the recipe tab, so check it out (no picture though).
Sunday I was not good either. I started well, ended horribly. I wanted to go to Zumba but I didn't. Instead, I woke up at 8 am and made myself some coffee. Then I proceeded to go downstairs and watch TV the entire day. The only thing I did do was let the dogs out, make spaghetti squash (for the week), acorn squash and a pizza (didn't really "watch" what I put on the pizza either... except there was turkey pepperoni and part-skim mozzarella). I seriously watched TV until 9:30 pm. Didn't exercise at all, thought about it a lot - but couldn't make myself go.
Monday I started feeling sick and Tuesday I was definitely sick. I did exercise Monday (home Zumba), Tuesday and Wednesday I went to Zumba at the gym. I just figured I'd go and at least move, just not get as intense as I normally do. That felt good... I actually felt good after for about a 1/2 hour and then I'd feel sick again.
My results this week, after being good for 4 1/2 days was that I lost 2.4 lbs. I'm back to the 90 lb weight loss range (thankfully!!!!). I still have a lot of work to do this week to keep myself on track. We leave Wednesday for Florida and I want to make sure I'm not in vacation mode NOW versus when we get there. Since I'll be in Florida for Thanksgiving I won't have a post next week, but I will recap our trip and how I did at the Thanksgiving buffet (yikes... I need to start mentally preparing for that NOW).
So for this week, I'm going to focus on tracking again... and trying not to go negative in my weekly points like I did this week. I'm also going to exercise like I normally do... I need to figure out what kind of exercise I'm going to commit to in Florida - whether it's running or I bring a video to do. Stay tuned to find out what I did :)
I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After.
This isn't about a journey to lose 10lbs, this is about a journey to lose 150lbs and doing it the real way. You will hear about my previous week, struggles (which will probably be OUR struggles) and how I've overcome some challenges. Each week I set goals... set your goals with me!
It's so hard to get lost in the moment and forget what a person's goal is..... stay strong, mainly for yourself as not to disappoint yourself. You can do this.... although I know it's not easy and oh so hard, especially when you're looking good and having fun with shopping and clothes.
