    March 1 starting weight 179.
    March 8 weight 177.5

    down 1.5 pounds. I was very surprised because I had a horrible weekend eating and only got in 2 workouts last week. Life is crazy right now but will try to check in later when I have more time.

    Goal 174 (or lighter)

    Keep working at this.

    kind of upset, i had no difference in the scale for last week, I guess the positive side is that I did not gain weight but i also didnt lose it which is a bit discouraging... :-/ lets weight and see...

    So my food hasn't been the best, we had a few days of fast food being out of town and I'm still paying for the sodium. I'm waiting one more day and of my weight is still high, I'm logging the gain and gonna get my butt back in gear next week.

    On a positive note .. during every commercial break while watching Biggest Loser, I got up and moved. I did planks, crunches, calf raises, walking planks, jumping jacks, jogged in place, and then some!! I also decided last night while trying to fall asleep that I would map out a mile via mapmyrun.com and then run it in 11min (5.5mph which is often what BL contestants run on the treadmil). So I did just that. I mapped it out, got the HRM ready and headed out. I wanted to walk for 5min first, which lead exactly up to my mile starter that I mapped out. Then I ran. And ran. And ran some more. I had a few seconds to spare but d@mnit I ran an 11min mile!! And it was like 35-40ish degress out there!! I then had a 5min walk back home. 21min and 1.62miles. I'm happy with that!!

    Even though I had wanted to give up my peeking at the scale...I just can't! Though it hasn't changed since I hit 162...my eating and exercising is still on track so I'm hopefully that next Monday will bring another loss. Even if it is only a pound as recommended!

    Went out to dinner last night, it was my mom's real birthday (we had her party last Saturday) and my older sisters last night in town. I planned ahead for what I would order and I was really happy with the choice. I felt really good after dinner...not hungry, not full, and enjoyed the nice time with my family. Tonight I am glad to be eating at home though, still a little up on the scale from the Girl Scout cookies but it is going back down so I hope to be back to last Fridays weight or lower by this Friday.

    Non Scale Victory - It's rainy and cold here today and had a rough day at work and I soooo didn't want to work out after work. Wanted to come home, put comfy clothes on and pile up on the couch. All afternoon long, I was having a ping pong match with myself coming up with reasons not to work out, reasons why I should, etc. So on the drive home I told myself "just get home, put your workout clothes on and do 20 minutes on the treadmill and if at the end of 20 minutes, you don't want to continue, you can stop."

    Well, I'm happy to say that I did 45 minutes and even jogged a few minutes here and there. (Hope my knees don't pay for this later. :tongue: I'm thankful that I didn't give in to the anti-exercise devil on my shoulder.

    I'm so glad this is becoming a way of life for me. Hate to cut it short but Survivor is coming on!!!!!

    March 1st: 201.2 lbs
    March 7th: 199.2 lbs
    March 9th: 197.6 lbs

    3.6 lbs lost for March. That's all I will be logging this month. I have officially given up my scale for Lent! Now I just have to concentrate on my eating & my workouts. The number was obsessing me. So no weigh ins for me until Easter. I'll keep checking in on you all & updating you every once in awhile on my progress. I miss my scale already. :cry: :sad: :cry: :sad: :cry:

    Kickrz & kintegra- great job on the loss! way to go! what an awesome start for March!

    Jennplus- Great job at Mom's birthday. It's such a good feeling when you find the middle ground between too full and still hungry! And I'm sure you'll see the results from your great choices on your weigh in!

    lisafrancis- Awesome NSV!! Sometimes all it takes is that get up and go...and then you're off and running! Way to go!

    I had to peek at the scale this morning, even though I said I wouldn't. It said 159.8! (It was right after the gym so I take it lightly for now) I was excited but tried not to get too excited because TOM is coming soon and my official weigh in isn't until Monday. But it felt good to know that hitting the gym and counting those calories is working. Sometimes you just need a little reassurance!!

    I was darn proud of myself yesterday. It was my rest day from the gym but I baked cupcakes for my oldest's 4th birthday and DID NOT TOUCH the cupcakes. I also whipped up goulash for dinner at mom's tonight since she can't after having surgery. Just ate a little goulash and was able to stay just under my calorie goal. Which I needed to do since I went 134 over the day before. So broke even across the two days. Hopefully it all pays off!

    Happy Thursday!

    Lots of ups and downs this week so I was worried about my weigh-in today, but apparently all the water I drank yesterday (9 cups!) flushed my system out and I had a two pound loss for this week! Yay!
