I fell off the wagon and I am trying to get back on

I didn't go to my weigh in last Thursday because I knew I had not lost any weight and I happen to still have enough food to last me another week. 

Last night I ate a lot of thin crust pizza. A friend and I finished off two thin crust Domino pizzas. Technically there were left over, but I ate those few slices this morning. I had been crazy pizza for weeks!! I have been craving "real" food for this past week. The IP food actually tastes good or I would not have made it as long as I did on this diet. I don't plan on giving up. I have a long way to go and some big goals to meet. I know this is just a pothole in the road and I will get past it. I am trying to not be so disappointed in myself and remember how far I have come from when I started!! 

Well I am off to the gym soon to go to a Body pump class. I know that will make me feel better. I plan on doing better this week and if I can loose even one pound I will be happy! 

I'm still going!!

I think today was my week 11 weigh in or maybe 10. I'm am starting to loose track however I am not loosing track of my weight loss! I am down another 1.8 pounds this week and 7 inches lost this past month! I am super excited. 59 more pounds to go to reach my goal of less than 200 pounds. Today I weighed in at 258, a number I haven't seen in years. 8 more pounds and I will where I was 4.5 years ago. I can't believe I just wrote my weight out. I used to be so embarrassed to tell anyone my weight let alone post it online with the slight potential it might actually be seen by people. I think it helps me to stick to my goals better when I admit it.

I have even noticed a slight improvement on my running. It's still slow, but I did a mile in 14 minutes and 26 seconds the other day. I am hoping I can keep it up because I signed up for another race in March. It's the Hot Chocolate 5k in Seattle. My brother and my friend Paul are doing it with me. I am super excited about it.

I plan on continuing sticking with this diet, but I am starting to get tired of salad. You would think I would be tired of eating foods from silver packets, but I actually don't mind that. It's just kind of boring. I need to figure out some new ways to spice it up.

Ugh, it's been a long day so I am off to bed now. I have to be up at 5:00 am.

:D

Week 9 & 10

I missed checking in last week. Last week was emotionally hectic. My grandpa wasn't doing well and then passed away last Friday. Needless to say Week 9 wasn't that great from being in Aberdeen. I didn't loose any weight that week however I didn't gain any! I am pretty happy about that. 

Last night when I went in for my week 10 weigh in and I down 2.2 pounds. That makes a total of 27.8 down!!! I wanted to cheat so bad after my weigh in and get a sandwich from Subway, but I couldn't do it after seeing another successful week of loosing weight. I was hoping for closer to 3 or 4 pounds, but I will take anything! I am finally below 260 which I haven't seen in about four and half years. I am still not perfect when it comes to this diet I am only about 80% to 90% sticking to this diet. I am trying to keep with my exercising, but trying to fit it in my schedule has been difficult because my work schedule has changed.

I didn't think it would be hard to get a workout out in with my new schedule being 6 am to 3 pm, but it is proving harder than I thought. Before I was able to get to the gym in the morning before going into work. I can't do that now. Seriously I can't. There is no way that I am getting up at 3 am to get to the gym or go out for a run in the dark especially after going to be at 9 or 10. With classes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night it makes it difficult to get to a workout class. Once I settle into this schedule and figure things out I will start working out at work again. At least I know then I will get some exercise in. 

There is so much craziness going on at work right now and I think it is stressing me out more than I thought. I am going to get myself some coffee and hopefully have a good day. =)
