No Weight Loss

So it was a disappointing weekend, I weighed in on Saturday, only to discover I had lost no weight this week. I am trying to be positive, its just frustrating sometimes when you work so hard and it doesn't show on the scales. Well there is next week, and I hope to do well enough to get my new work out hat!

Back on the Wagon

So I was up and back on the exercise wagon this morning. Kyle had a work meeting, so I was on my own. I did 50 min. on the eliptical, it was a killer and I ended up walking off looking like a sweaty, cherry faced, chubby girl! But at least I was working it. I did give into my resistance to weigh in today, I just wanted to know where I was at, had I gained, had I lost? So I weighed in, and to my disappointment, I am the same, 178. I do have to look on the bright side, I didn't gain anything while I was sick! I just had a very small appetite so I was hoping to have lost some! I have to stay positive, this is my weigh in week, I wanted to be down 10 lbs. I don't think that is going to happen, but I hope that I can loose 2 in the next 4 days and make it 8 lbs. I watched the biggest loser last night, I love that show! Anyway several people lost 13+ lbs in one week. I so would love for that to happen, but I realize as well they aren't in the real world, they live in a land condusive to weight loss and thats all they do. I have a full time job, school, boyfriend, family ect. and life in general that gets in the way! =) Have a great day!

100 Calorie Vita Muffin

So I finally tried the chocolate muffins. Taste more like cardboard than anything else. I have read several great reviews on these, and I wouldn't agree. There was a lot of oil like substance on the wrapper, that made me a little leary, plus I just can't agree w/ the cost. 4 muffins for 6$. I like things that are fast and quick when I need it, but I don't feel like the quality out weighed the cost.

100 Calorie 3 Musketeer

I did try these candybars with my mother this past Friday. And I really like 3 Musketeers and I was impressed with these. They were at Wal-Mart the 2 candybar pack was 88 cents. Not to bad. The mini's are 24 calories each so you could have four of those for a total of 100 calories. I'm all about value, plus you get four of the mini's at a lower cost. I am more apt to go for the bag next time and put 4 in a ziplock and make my own 100 calorie packs.

New Hostess 100 Calorie Packs

Can I just say these are not at all recommended by me! At least the Chocolate Cup Cakes w/ cream filling, I was hoping to bite into a minature ding dong of sort and was highly disappointed. They seemed very stale and not a whole lot of flavor. I ate one, and threw away the rest. I gave the rest of the box to my brother in law. He'll eat anything! LOL!

Sickenss befalls me

I have been sick now for six days! I haven't hardly moved. So to say the least, I haven't been to the gym most of last week, so no weigh in this last week. I'm trying to hop back on the wagon this week, but I still sound and feel terrible! I hope to get feeling better this week. I'll keep you all posted.

Hungry Girl Hat

So I found this hat off of hungry girl and

if I lose another two pounds this week, I just might reward myself w/ this cute hat! I am currently wearing very frumpy gear to the gym, and a Titlest Golf hat I stole from Kyle! I think I may need to get some fun new gear!

My Goals

I printed out these weekly work out logs off of Tales from the scales
http://www.talesfromthescales.net/activity/index.html
It's actually a walking chart, but with a little cut and paste I made it into Carley's Work out Log, I have already calculated the weeks, and an average of 2 lbs. per week have come up w/ the following numbers and calculations for my milestone goals:

10 lbs- Week 6- 2/22
20 lbs- Week 11- 3/28 ****My Birthday Week!
30 lbs- Week 16- 5/2
35 to 40 lbs- Week 21-6/6

Food-no good

Well my sisters baby has been in the hospital, so I so haven't done very good on my food choices the past two days. I ate out 3 meals! And I didn't work out yet this morning.....so I am feeling like a beached whale! lol! I have to go work out this evening and I so loose steam after 5pm so I am praying for a second wind. I can't let those food choices overwhelm me though I have the rest of the week to make good choices! Starting this afternoon w/ an apple and tons of water!

Weight Loss Ticker

180's are gone

Well I was really hoping for 3 lbs. this week, but honestly I didn't think I lost 2, so Yay for 2 more lbs. I was sweatin it a bit to weigh in, but felt good to see the scales moving down! So to date I have lost 6 lbs. and I moved into the 170's, I weighed in at 178. With each weigh in and the delight and almost natural high you get when your realized you are progressing closer to your goal is amazing. I felt like no one could pull me down this morning! Its an incredible feeling! And I am so proud that I'm really doing it! It's so funny I went grocery shopping yesterday and I went by the bakery, saw these amazing Valentine's Day cookies that I just love, and all I could think is that I cannont put things inside me that make me feel bad about myself! I love sweets, of almost any kind....but they don't like me! I'm not saying that I won't reward myself now and then, because I think thats the key, I don't tell myself I can't have something that I want, but I have to limit my consumption w/ that product. Well go me! I'm super pumped w/ the progress, would love for it to all fall off now, but come on lets be realistic here! LOL!

Laughing Cow Cheese

So I read on a few sites about this laughing cow cheese, so you think that I could find is someplace in this town? Well after much shopping around, I found the orginal "reduced fat" flavor at Safeway. I do have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how great this little bar of 35 calorie cheese was! I ate it on reduced fat wheat thins, made a great afternoon snack! I found a few more recipes I will have to share as soon as I have tried them out. I also purchased the vita muffins, I bought the chocolate flavor. I have not tried them yet, although I was disappointed at the pricing, it was $6 for 4 muffins, not what I call a great deal, and believe me I'm all about getting the best price on things! I hope they don't let me down! LOL!

Snow Day and 2 lbs gone!

So I had yesterday off, due to this crazy weather! I weighed in last Friday and had lost another 2 lbs! Due to my laziness yesterday, I hope my lying around didn't cause any weight gain. LOL!The gym was closed yesterday, so I didn't get to work out not to mention go on my trip to Houston! Flights were cancelled and my boss decided to cancel the trip. I guess I didn't need all the extra eating out, but the shopping would have been super fun! So I'm still in F-town, pushing forward and upwarded!
