A new month with new goals!

Well made it home from California! We had a great time and yes I gained 5lbs.... But usually I do gain about 3lbs every weekend so just a extra 2lbs. I will just have to work hard. The end of the month means a new picture so we took a picture with Mickey. So it will replace our old family picture. I can till a difference! Still away to go but we are getting there.

This month and goals! Continuing drinking more and more water. Get to bed before or around 10pm. Workout 6 days of week. This month I am going to add in calorie counting! I checked and to hit my goal I have to eat 1234 to 1500 calories a day. FUN FUN!! Not much into calorie counter but I really want to get this weight off. Wish me luck!!

Kim's NON-weigh in

I have chosen not to weigh in this week. While I know I've eaten better this week, I have not exercised at all! Monday I was way too busy with last minute shopping for Blue and Gold, Tuesday I was running around like a crazy woman getting everything ready for that evening, Wednesday my sister-in-law showed up and made me get out of bed, we ran about 2 miles, Thursday I was too tired to wake up early and then, along with all the other days, had to tend to 7 kids, go to play group, and clean the disaster that was left from Tuesday, then Friday my alarm went off and I must have turned it off without waking up because I remember it going off, but I did not get up. I chalk it up to the 7 kids completely wearing me out. =) Saturday I did go on a run. We got about 2.5 miles and my sister-in-law got sick so we walked the rest of the way home.

I know it all seems like one BIG excuse, but still, why bother weighing in when I know the results. Eating + no exercise = no weight loss

I did however get my new Biggest Loser Cookbook which I am really excited about. I just have to wait 2 more weeks to go grocery shopping and then I'll be able to get started

Sarah's Weigh in & Horrible eating day!

I lost another 2 pounds this week!! Yippee! But we are watching our nieces and nephews this weekend and I think I've only eaten one healthy thing today. I feel like crap! My tummy is not happy. It sure was yummy, which is why I kept eating, but I do feel yucky now, and I know I'll really be regretting it when I step on the scale tomorrow morning. It's only one day, not going to kill me right. I will be taking my progress pictures tomorrow, and making new goals for the new month.

Bloggin from Cali!

My plan was to my weigh in today. Since I am now on vacation!! I almost don't want to change my trigger! I am really nervous about gaining 10lbs over this weekend... I am going to try to be good, but I want to enjoy myself. Hopefully when I step on the scale Monday morning I don't cry!! So this week I lost a pound.

Taking a look

So, ever since I got my scale I have this bad habit of weighing myself toward the end of the day. I've always been told that you get heavier as the day progresses so I wanted to see how much my weight fluctuates in one day. I know its a little morbid, but whatever, why not?

My weight fluctuates about 3 lbs during the day. What is great is that since I have had 7 kids in my house every day this week, plus Blue and Gold Banquet, I have not had time to snack, or even time to veg out. I decided to weigh myself this evening even though I did not weigh myself this morning and I was two pounds down from my normal night time weigh in. I hope its not a fluke!

I have to say I was slightly apprehensive about having 2 extra kids running around everyday, but this may be a blessing for my weight loss on top of the money we needed to fix the car.

Sarah's midweek report!

So I don't have a ton to report other than I am EXHAUSTED!!! I have not been getting enough sleep at all this week because I've been so busy with stuff that has to get done, and it can only be done without kids around. I realized today though that I have been focusing so much on exercising and losing weight and all that, bordering on obsessive. Part of that was intentional because when I start something new I really have to stay on it big time and be a little OCD with it because it is so easy to slip back, and I really wasn't happy where I was at - weight/health wise. So even though it was partly intentional, it probably isn't good to be too obsessive :) But this week I've been so busy and haven't been able to obsess as much, and I realized today that I can have a life and still be healthy without having to concentrate on it all the time. I've still eaten just as healthy and exercised just as much, which has been very hard because I've been so tired, but it's not been on my mind as much. Does that make sense? That means it's not as hard as it used to be and hopefully this means I'm making lifestyle changes that will be permanent, even when I have stressful weeks. This doesn't mean it won't be something I think about a lot, I know I will because it's a goal I'm working towards, and I still want to stay strong in the face of temptation. Speaking of temptation... There has been a Snickers bar sitting on my counter ALL week, and it's been very tempting. But I haven't given in - yet.

Sarah's Weigh In

The scale was very good to me today! I lost 4 1/2 pounds this week!!! I am very happy about that, and I'll definitely take it. A small part of me worries because they say it is best to lose about 2-3 pounds per week, but looking at the last two weeks I averaged 3 lb per week. So I'm VERY excited and this puts me past my 20 lb. goal that I wanted to reach by March 1st!! I don't want to lose this motivation!
