day 9

Tomorrow is day 10 of no soda/tea.
I think I'm gonna have to celebrate!
Well, maybe I'll wait until the 2 week mark...

The hubbs finally hid the scale from me.
Yes, I was getting on it everyday.
It showed a 4 pound loss in 4 days and I was nervous.
There's no way that could be right.
I know I fluctuate a lot so I need to stay off the scale.
But with everything else I'm not doing, that one is too easy.
So, the hubbs hid it from me and I'll get to weigh on the 29th.

My goal is 5 pounds in 5 weeks.
I realize now I should have made it higher but I think I need to start with baby steps. If I lose this 5 pounds then I will make my next goal to be 2 pounds a week. Which would be 10 pounds in 5 weeks if I reached it and holy cow I would be ecstatic! But let's not jump ahead...

I had 28 points yesterday.
I struggled with going to lunch with Jenny to a mexican restaurant. I'm proud to say I did order salad though and only ate half a serving of chips (which is 5! yes, FIVE whole chips!) I went over with dinner last night cause we had Taco Bell. It takes time to learn what I can and can't have.

I did the elliptical for 30 minutes in the pm. I struggled hard core cause my foot hurt so bad but after about 10 minutes it pretty much went numb and quit hurting. So now I know the trick and no longer have an excuse!

quote

I was skimming through blogs and found a wonderful quote.
Sorry, I don't remember where I found it or I'd share...

"People who are too weak to pursue their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours."

oopsie

Didn't work out yesterday...
I did attempt in the pm but my foot was so sore I gave up. It feels a little better today so I'm at least going to go for a walk after work. I just don't want it to stay sore forever!

headaches

I cannot seem to catch a break.
I had another migraine last night.
Pretty sure I've had a headache every day for the last week.

I decided to go to Wal-Mart on my lunch break to get some headache medicine. And guess what? They all have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee! I wanted to cry, right there in the middle of the aisle.

I took Tylenol every day for the last week and it obviously didn't work. So, I'm gonna try naproxen sodium this week.

This is day 8 and I REFUSE to drink tea/soda!
I'm gonna do this!
Even if I pull my hair out in the process!

Day 8

I did much better yesterday than Sunday!

waffle - 2pts
syrup - 2pts
healthy choice - 7pts
2 popcorn - 2pts
soup - 8pts
string cheese - 1pt

total - 22 points

Check out my recipe blog for the soup recipe, it was super yummy! It's only 4 points but I had 2 servings.

I did the elliptical for 30 mins yesterday.
It was a struggle but I pushed through!
I'm gonna have to suck it up and start going to the track or something in the pm because the elliptical is taking a toll on my hips. I really want a treadmill!

I didn't start off this week great...
I slept in because I took a tylenol pm for my headache (guess I'm not over it yet!) last night and didn't work up in time to work out. But I will when I get home this afternoon.

30 points for yesterday

I was doing sooo good then messed it up with chinese food! But hey, we did bowl 2 games after we ate so maybe I burned some of it. haha

I don't feel super bad about it because I do have the 35 allowance that I'm not even close to going over. But I really do want to start doing better. I've got to learn to start planning my weekends out so I don't get sucked into something bad.

1 pack oatmeal - 2pts
1tbsp flax - 1pt
sandwich - 6pts
sweet sour chicken - 8pts
fried rice - 9pts
mic ultra - 2pts
string cheese - 1pt
fudgesicle - 1pt

I didn't work out yesterday. And now seeing I did 30 points I feel super gross. So, I will be doing something today even though my body is sore as hell from bowling. (I think I'm getting old!)

energy

That pill I took yesterday gave me a shit ton load of energy.
I mean, like wow!

I'm gonna do a little more reseach on them before I decide to buy though. I don't always trust things that say "all natural."

I thought I was gonna end the day with 15 points.
But the energy kept me up late and the hubbs took me to McDonald's for some nuggets... Hey, at least I didn't get fries!

1 pack oatmeal - 3pts
1 tbsp flax - 1pt
apples w/caramel - 1pt
healthy choice - 5pts
1 cup veggies - 0pts

6 piece nugget - 7pts
sweet sour sauce - 1pt

total - 23 points

I did 15 mins on the elliptical in the am. (I only do that few in the am because I also do abs and arms.) I did 20 mins in the pm. I was mad that I couldn't do 30 but I was struggling, and my legs are sore today. boo
