YES!!

I did it! 169.6 I ran and did a work out on Monday. Tuesday I did a workout.  Wednesday I worked out and ran. Thursday I worked out and walked.  Friday I rode the stationary bike and Today I walked.
I think mostly the goal was accomplished by doing extra and different workouts, eating/sharing oatmeal in the morning and not so much as eating less during the day (though that is a factor).

I came in at 212. I was shocked because for most of the week I've had a meetings at work where they've fed us breakfast (doughnuts and fried chicken) and lunch (more fried chicken, pizza, and bar-b-que ribs). It was real delicious, but not very healthy. I tried to limit myself to average portions and not eat breakfast at home and there. I thought for sure I would have gained a little or something this week, but it turned out I managed to lose. I guess that's good, but it's not fooling me. I know I'm not cured yet. I'll always have the potential to get back to the weight I was. 212 is the least I've weighed in 8 years, almost since high school.

Sunday 17 February

B: oatmeal (4)
L: LO soup and roll (6)
D: 2 mexican roast burritos (10)
no dessert (jack wanted to make a cake with pudding and bananas BUT our oven still doesn't work)

I am pretty sure I eat some of Betty's snacks so throw in a few points to cover other day's snacking and you got about 23 points!

This week is the week baby! 16! 16! 16!  I want it so bad!

Saturday Weigh In

171.6 for me this week.  I know I have said it before but I need to get back on track and serious about counting points.  My weight loss companion already reached his goal though and is less serious and eats more and I am left to make a hard decision to sit and watch him eat deliciousness or have a small second helping so I am not just watching.  This is one reason I got to the state I was in before.  This week my goal is to not worry about that at all.  When I am done eating, I will start the clean-up process or just walk out of the kitchen.  It's not very polite to leave the table when not everyone is done but right now it is necessary for me to accomplish this week's weight goal which is to see a 6 after the 1.
Wish me Luck

216 for me this week. I'm still hovering around the 215 mark. I think that it is a good place for me to be. I feel so much better and healthier at this weight that it's hard to believe that I ever felt comfortable carrying around 50 more pounds. I guess in truth I didn't feel comfortable, it was just self deception. My allergies have hit this week. One of my solutions to feeling crummy was to stuff my face at the local buffet. Somehow hot food seems to suspend the icky feelings for a while, but with my new lifestyle that sort of thing doesn't fit in. I just drank a Sobe to get some more vitamin C and took some allergy pills to stop my nose. Gaining 3 or 4 pounds is not really worth 3 or 4 hours of relief. Last weekend we planted our garden with lots of 0 point goodies, so I'm excited for the harvest already. Our peas are just barely coming out of the ground though, so it'll be a while. Having a place to plant a garden (other than an apartment window or terrace) is really nice. We've had some rain this week to give it a good start too. Well, that's all I have to report this week.
Cheers,
Jack

Friday 15 February

B: Oatmeal (4)
L: LO pizza (7)
D: Pot Pie Soup and yeast roll (10)... it's so good I had 2 bowls and 2 rolls
Total : 21

Today, we went to the park and "played tennis".  For the 90 day program, I was supposed to do 45 minutes of hard cardio but we were at the court for over an hour and I was moving the whole time and with me feeling sickly, I am counting it and Saturday I will do day 4.
My abs definitely feel the burn of a lot of elbow planking.... The lower abs that is.  I never can get those suckers to feel any sort of burn from crunches... but boy howdy do some planking if you want it to burn the next day.

Thursday V-Day

B: Oatmeal (3) (I count it as 3 now because I share the bowl with Baby.
L: LO burritos and chicken ( 7)
D: Papa Johns Pizza (muchos)
Total: my best guess is 24

I am so glad that it is over.  I love that it is a day to celebrate your love for people you adore but I can feel the thick smog of commercialism all around me.  The pressure to buy something awesome for your GoodLooking guy or plan a romantic evening.  I like my romance spontaneous, anytime, and all the time.  Anyway weightloss..
Feeling pretty good.  I made it through day 2 of a 90 day program yesterday and it killed.

Wednesday

B: Oatmeal (4)
L: Breakfast Burritos (9)
D: Prom Chicken (6)
D: Cobbler (5)
Total: 24

Getting out of the house and spending time with people helps me to not snack so much during the day.  I think I get bored and just think about food and want to eat it.  I really need to get out more.

-Lindsey

Tuesday

B: oatmeal (3)
L: Burritos (9) (my oven broke!)
D: cereal (5) bagel thin with cream cheese (3)
D: cookie and red velvet swirl thing (6)
Total: 26

again I repeat... not a big fan of Valentines Day.  I hope everyone else is not having as hard a time staying away from the sweets.  Try distraction if your will power isn't strong enough.

I don't care for Valentines Day.  One good thing about it though... I get to buy socks for Jack and I.  Tradition idea from Jack's mom.  Saturday, I was down to 170 which feels great but I don't believe it.  I think I must have been having a skinny day or something.  I guess we will find out this week if it holds.  I started a new workout challenge and I am burning and sore today.  It mostly hurts in my shoulders and calves though also my head hurts.  This pain could also be coming from me getting sick but I don't want to believe that because that would mean that I am sick and that is not what I am about.
