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>

I made a great breakfast and it was totally worth staying home! I didn't necessarily eat healthy for the day, but I stayed within my points.

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!

I know that exercise is so important in my weight loss plan! I hope to continue to get the gym as much as possible.  I am hoping for 4-5 days per week. I think that will really boost my weight loss.<br /><br />I went to Wal-Mart tonight. And for those of you who know me, know that I do NOT like Wal-Mart. But they have the BEST Gold Delicious Apples, they are pretty big and very crisp. So I decided to get a few other things while I was there too. Its so nice to stock up on healthy food and have those "good" choices readily avaliable when you're hungry. I also bought some new headphones for the gym. I had been using the ones from my iPod and my little puppy got a hold of those and chewed them up (naughty little girl!). There are TVs on the workout equipment at the gym I go to, so it's nice to have headphones so you can listen to your own tv rather than the big one that is almost always on Sports Center!

I took a few hours off of work in the afternoon and got a good work out in before I went to ww. And it felt great. I hope to do that 3-4 times a week and maybe mix it up with a work out DVD to keep things fun. My friend & I have been talking about taking a kickboxing class, so we'll see about that, I think it's kind of intimidating for me! I had ww weigh in tonight and did ok. I was really hoping for a 5 lb loss my first week there, but 4.4 is great too! And I know since it's at the end of the day that makes a difference from my scale in the mornings. So I'm not getting down about it, I'm going to stick with my good eating plan and really kick up the work outs and hope to see it on the scale for my weigh in next week!<br /><br />I came across a good quote today that I wanted to share:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;">"You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance."<br /></span></div>

BRUNCH: Strawberries, Watermelon, Muskmelon, Pineapple, & Grapes. Ham, Waffle w/coolwhip, mini muffin, & mini cheesecake. est. 21 points (we went out for brunch to a buffet and tried to make the best choices)<br /><br />AFTERNOON SNACK: 3 fun size Snickers & 1 fun size Reeses Pieces. I have no idea how many points it was. I'm so sad that I ate those. I was in one of those moods and just kept eating. :(<br /><br />SUPPER: 2 Tacos & Water. 10 points<br /><br /><br />POINTS=31+<br />WATER=24 oz<br />EXERCISE= none :(<br /><br />Sundays are hard for me. We go out to eat almost every Sunday after church and then being home all day gets to me too. I think I made fairly good choices at the Brunch buffet we went to, but I don't know how the food was prepared so I estimated my points high. And then in the afternoon when we were home relaxing I went crazy and ate a ton of candy. I wish I wouldn't do things like that. Espeically because I have weigh in for WW on Tuesday. Hope to make up for it big time this coming week.

Especially after the chili. It was leftover from a tailgate party we had last weekend. I just estimated the points to be around 5 originally, then I got to adding it up and I think it was quite a bit more than that, so I went with 10! For some reason this morning I woke up at 5:45am (an hour too early) and was wide awake so I decided to go for a walk. My little puppy was pretty excited about that, she doesn't usually get 30 minute walks in the mornings! Felt good to start off the day with some exercise! I also got in 156 oz of water today.<br /><br />I joined WW today. I think the meeting time on Tuesday works best for me (5:30pm). When I did it a few years ago I went on Thursdays over my lunch break and I just seemed so rushed. So I think this will work out good and I actually know a few of the ladies at the meeting. I decided to go with the <a href="http://enter.weightwatchers.com/1033/OF_MP_Landing.html">"Monthly Pass"</a>. You get free registration, free online e-tools, unlimited monthly meetings, and it came out to the lowest price per week. I thought it sounded like the best deal & I love the idea of the free e-tools, I think I'll use that a lot.<br /><br />When I did WW before you figured your daily points target based on your weight. Now there are multiple things to determine your daily points target; gender, age, weight, height, & profession. My daily points target came out to 29 points, which I thought was really high. I used to always aim for 20-24 points per day. I think for now I am going to stick with the 24 points per day and see how it goes. I definitely feel satisfied and not starving, so I can't see how eating 5 more points would help me.
