Stressful

What a stressful week!!!! As expected, the scale didn't budge one single bit. ARGH! But at least it didn't go up, either!

Har Har

I accidentally posted 297.8 on the ticker... I put the 2 out of habit. It still feels strange typing a 1 first. I still lost a little this week, although it has been a rough week.

I have a really yucky cold and though I have been eating well, I haven't exercised as much and on Tuesday I had a really bad cheat day. I'm talking donuts, McDonalds, more donuts, ice cream. I'm pretty sure that one day sabotaged my entire week. But on the bright side, at least the scale did move downward some!

Never Again

198.6!!!!!

Never again will I ever want to see anything above 200. I'm walking on Cloud 9 right now!

So close I can taste it...

Yesterday my friend took me out for a belated birthday lunch... to one of my favorite restaurants - Mimi's Cafe. I ate an entire turkey pesto ciabatta sandwich. It was SO GOOD. Got home and entered it into my calorie king diary - 1330 calories! Almost my entire amount for the full day. WOW. Lucky thing I had a good brisk 45 minute walk done. The sammy did keep me full for pretty much the rest of the day. I had a couple healthy tostada's at my moms house for dinner. Usually I come under my calorie count by 50 - 100, but yesterday I was over by 123.


Hopped on the scale this morning and it's 200.2. I am SO CLOSE to being under 200 pounds I can just taste it. If I'm really good over the coming couple days I bet I can hit it by Monday. I'll have to take a picture of the scale.

So that's my big news for this week.

Katie, I am just dying to hear about your first week with Nutrisystem!! Details lady!!!

Back at it...

So birthday weekend I gained 3 pounds and was 206 by the time Monday came around. This morning I was back at 203 on the dot. Back on track!

If I can be REALLY good this week, I might hit 200. My goal this week is 201 for next Friday.

Can't wait....

Katie I am so excited for you! I can't wait to see how this works for you. I am sure it will make life so much easier - especially when you and Graham are super busy with meetings and stuff.

My birthday weekend was a total eatfest. I ate anything and everything I wanted without a care. I gained 3 pounds in two days. This week I'm back to my normal (new) eating habits and thankfully this morning I just shed those 3 pounds that I had gained. It was really hard. I think I did more exercise than I should have... ah well. The birthday eating was totally worth it!

Nutrisystem

So today is the day I'm starting Nutrisystem. I went shopping with my mom yesterday and bought lots of fruits and veggies. Now I'm just waiting for my food to arrive at some point today. I'm worried it will melt if I'm not home to receive it.

Anyway, I am starting my new venture at 210.8 lbs. I still lost six pounds on my own but I clearly need a little extra help. It's interesting to hear about your calorie intake goals because the Nutrisystem food tracker counts up the calories and on average it's about 1300-1400 per day.

I'm so proud of how skinny you are!
