My younger sister is home from college. I was really hoping to stick with my points since tomorrow is Thanksgiving. But I got the "munchies" really bad in the evening and just kept eating. But I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm still going to stay on track and have a great loss for wi next Tuesday!<br /><br />We went out for lunch to a nice litte tea room that I LOVE. It was so hard to try and find something that was "points friendly", but I feel like I did good. I ate all my fruit first and drank a lot of water and shared my soup with my sister & Grandma. I estimated the points to be 7. I really have no idea and for some reason right now I can't get into e-tools on the ww site.<br /><br />Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow and doesn't let one day of eating ruin your goals!!

The main reason I wanted to get it out of the way is because tonight is ww weigh in and I wanted to burn every possible calorie I could!! Hopefully it pays off!<br /><br />I'm not much of a bragger...but <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">KUDOS</span></span> to me! Today is a co-workers (super GREAT lady) 41st wedding anniversary and there are a <span style="font-weight: bold;">TON</span> of sweets about 10 steps from my office, but I have absolutely NO desire to have any of them!! I'm so proud!! I hope I feel like this on Thursday too!<br /><br />So it's official, I'm out of the 190s!!! I'm so pumped!! My goal was to be 189 by Thanksgiving & I'm pretty stinkin' close to that!! My next goal is to be 179 by 2009!! So I think 10lbs is do-able in 5 weeks!

I am a little nervous though because I did read that this is for people who have plateaued, which I haven't yet. So I'm curious if anyone else has ever done this before plateauing? Would love your feedback!<br /><br />I got up this morning and went to gym to start my second week of my <a href="http://bellaeats.wordpress.com/10-mile-training-program/">Training Program</a>. It was just a 1/2 mile again, so not bad at all. I knew I wouldn't want to go to the gym tonight because my sister is home from college (Florida) for Thanksgiving and I knew I would want to spend time with her rather than in the gym. Tomorrow's ww wi...hoping for another 3lb loss!

I knew the gym wasn't open that early so I headed to the basement and put in a workout dvd! I was kinda planning on Saturday being my "off" day for exercise, but I figured since I had the time I would get it in!<br /><br />Today was our last regular season Hawkeye game of year. It was in Minnesota (about a 3 hour drive). We had a great time and it was an AWESOME game. Hawks won 55-0!!<br /><br />I think I did fairly good eating wise. I had healthy snacks packed. I went a little over on my points, but it's a rare occassion that I have to use some of my weekly 35 allowance. We also met one of my cousins for a late lunch/early supper before the game and she wanted to go to Applebees and I was, of course, happy with that because that way I knew exactly the points of what I was eating! It worked out perfect and it was great to see her and her bf.

By the way, she is an awesome inspiration & support to me, she lost weight doing ww as well and looks amazing!!<br /><br />On the spur of the moment another friend/co-worker, <a href="http://kimcreates.blogspot.com/">Kim</a>, asked if I had lunch plans and of course I didn't so we went to Subway together. She is another one of my friends that is a great part of my support system through this whole journey & workout buddy! It was nice to sit and talk with her!

I was so pumped it's not even funny!! So I'm down 11.5 lbs total!! I think all that time I've been in the gym is starting to pay off!!<br /><br />I left work at 10am, was just not feeling well. So I took a vacation day, relaxed, and did a little cleaning. My eating, however, was horrible. I had this horrible salty craving around 1pm and made velvetta cheese dip with tortilla chips....15 points worth! Then I needed something sweet so I ate a 1 point ww chocolate and that was it for the day. I felt so guilty after eating all that, I didn't eat anything else the whole day, which probably wasn't too good either!

I did the second day of my <a href="http://bellaeats.wordpress.com/10-mile-training-program/">training program</a> (cut 30 sec off my 1/2 mile time too!) and then got on the elliptical to finish it off. I am hoping to add some weights to my workouts soon as well. We went out tonight for drinks after work, so I knew FOR SURE I would not be working out after that!!

I woke up at 5:30 this morning and went the gym. Today is weigh in day for ww and I knew that I would not have time in between work and ww to work out and I want to head right home to watch the Biggest Loser after ww. So I did it, I got my rear end out of bed, went to the gym, did my workout, made it home with plenty of time to get ready, and made it back to work 15 min early and I feel better than ever....energized and ready to go!!<br /><br />I lost 3.6 lbs at ww, total of 8lbs. So now the ww scale is actually less than mine at home! So that was awesome!! I did not make the 5 lb loss I was hoping for, but I know that losing the weight slowly is better in the long run, I need to keep the big picture in focus!!<br /><br />So for those of you who like the Biggest Loser, do you think Amy C did the right thing? Should she have voted off Vicky instead? 'Cause if it ever comes to her & Vicky below the yellow line I am sure that Heba & Ed will save Vicky before they would save her. I think she should have thought about herself and not the team. (man that really sounds horrible, doesn't it?!?!?) Hopefully she won't get herself in that spot and she can continue to lose weight like she has been. I just love that show, it always gets me pumped up and excited about exercising, eating right, and losing weight!!

I feel that I have made a lot of progress in a short amount of time(down 8lbs!), I think I am just nervous that something will change and my mindset about this whole thing will change and I'll go back to my old ways. But <span style="font-weight: bold;">NO</span>!! I will stick with it, I will lose weight, and be so much healthier because of it!!<br /><br />Today I started my <a href="http://bellaeats.wordpress.com/10-mile-training-program/">"Training Program"</a>. It was only a half mile so that wasn't too bad. It's when it get's up to 2-3 miles that I'm worried about. But I think that it's a slow enough pace that once I do get there I will feel more than comfortable with running that far. I still did the elliptical last night because the half milk run/walk only took me 6 minutes. Tomorrow's the weigh in. I don't think I'll make the 5lbs that I was hoping for, but any loss is great!<br /></div></div>

Which also means we were tailgating and there was so much tempting food! But I stuck to my guns and only ate things that I KNEW what the points were. I did go over on my points for the day, but it is the first time this week. So hopefully I'm ok for weigh in Tuesday. Oh and by the way, the Hawks won!!

And it's so true for me too! I love to see the number go down! And I was telling my husband the other day that if for some reason it doesn't go down or (heaven forbid!) it goes up, that will just motivate me to work harder and lose those lbs!! So anyway I was down another 1/2 lb, 8 lbs total!! Can't wait for the 10 lb mark!!<br /><br />I have to say that I am really proud of myself. I stayed at work for lunch so I could leave earlier to make it to the gym before we got our Friday night plans going. No that isn't why I am I proud of me! :) I was in the break room at work heating up my Smart Ones and there was this HUGE tray of muffins, bagels, donuts, cinnamon rolls, etc and I didn't even look twice at it!!!! It felt so good to have self control and not eat one or two while my meal was heating up!!

And I think I can contribute that to my recent workouts (& eating better I'm sure)! I made it to the gym again today. I wasn't planning on it because my husband was going to be home when I got there right after work, but I decided to "Vote for Myself". Last week in ww that is what we talked about, that sometimes you really do have to put yourself first. And the small amount of time that working out would take is worth it in the long run rather than being home 45 min earlier. And my husband agreed, so I didn't feel bad and my workout was great!<br /><br />When I went to Wal-Mart yesterday I found these single servings of ww brand cream cheese. And I had a coupon so I thought I would try them out. You acutally get a lot for 1 point. I couldn't even get it all on the two slices of toast that I had for supper!
