I have had three crazy weeks, I sure hope they are over with!
Although things have been out of the ordinary and so so so busy, I have still made positive steps in the right direction, working with my weekly goals.

Obviously I want to see the scale under 140 pounds, but that will be my weekly weight goal until my body finally balances it's self out and allowes me to get there.

I will continue to work at my morning exercise routine; I want to get 4/5 in this week.
Plus, 4 extra's, which can be during the day or evening.
A minumum of 500 calories burned per day...including the weekend.

I have also decided to start fully logging again...eek!

Staying positive and working at everything :-)

Have a great week everyone!

Hi everyone,

This week was pretty much like all my other weeks this year! I say to myself I will get this under control, I will stop sabotaging myself and I don't do anything about it.

I told my bff that I felt I need to go back to Weight Watchers and that if I got a lifetime member offer to go back I was doing it. I got 2 signs. I got a $10.00 weekly offer and I REALLY saw myself in a picture on facebook. I was mortified at how bad I think I look in that picture!

I had great success with Weight Watchers, lost 60 pounds in a year and hit my goal. After that I was diagnosed with colitis and was told I needed to back off high fiber foods, vegetables and some fruits until I healed. I allowed that to make me lazy and stopped going to meetings and look what happened I gained 40 lbs back!

So, tonight I am going back :happy: W.W. affords me the structure and accountability I need to be successful! Had I continued to go to meetings, I may not have gained most of the weight back. What this means is I'm not leaving MFP or our group, I'm just not going to log my food on here anymore.

Having been through multiple bouts of colitis I now know the foods I need to avoid to keep things under control. With that knowledge and the success I had previously with W.W. I think I may finally get my eating under control.

Now that I have babbled!

Biggest success last week: My W.W. epiphany! Still haven't gained, maintaining.
Plans for this week: Get back on the W.W. program and continue my c25k program.
Plan for new different exercise: Start toning my arms!

I will be sure to have my fridge stocked with healthy foods and my pantry cabinet will have points values in sharpie on everything going into the holiday weekend.

I hope everyone has a great week this week!

My week was okay. Not great but not a disaster. I had a job interview which caused some emotional stress eating (my downfall) and I got the job so that was some reward eating. I am proceeding through life with awareness of what I am doing, so that is an improvement.

I kept my goal of exercising for 30 minutes everyday with the exception of yesterday. But I exercised twice as long today to make up for it. I wasn't able to ride my bike to my art studio b/c it has been raining almost the entire week and that is unusual for Montana.

My win for last week was I made my breakfast and lunches for the entire week. I find that really helps me so I don have to choose and I know how many calories I have each day. My husband loves my muffins so much the muffins aren't lasting for as many mornings as I hoped but I am getting fast at making them now.

My goals for this week are to continue to exercise everyday for 30 minutes and try to ride my bike to my studio at least once. I will also make my breakfast and lunches for the week.

My month of May goal was to exercise for 30 minutes everyday to create a habit and I picked a reward for myself. I am so looking forward to my small reward!
