Day 43: Weigh In day

Your current weight :	189.8 lbs
Weight change since your last recorded weight |	-2.6 lbs
Total weight change to date |	-7.6 lbs

Lost 2.6 lbs this week officially putting me in a new decade of 180's and Goal #1 accomplished! I need to list out more goals for March which I'll do later tonight and I've also been meaning to take my measurements (as soon as I find my tape measure!).

Not much else to say. Tonight is movie night with the fam so gotta run! I have had a major craving for chipotle this past week and a half and so today I finally caved but I did change somethings up. I ate only 1/2 of a burrito and only a little bit of the tortilla. In the past, I would have completely devoured the thing but I live off bites, licks and tastes now and 1/2 of the burrito was more than enough to satisfy the craving. I gave the other half to the bro so I was in my points range and I killed the craving for oh so good chipotle! Yayy!

Dad wants to order pizza for dinner...I hope we don't end up doing it but none of us are up for cooking dinner tonight so if we do get pizza, I'll just have to hit the gym hard tomm ;)

Oh and I did hit the gym bright and early today right after my weigh in since I didn't have to go into work but I was SO SORE from the stairmaster and C25k that I just couldnt do the 2nd day of week 1 for C25k. So I just did A LOT of stretching, a quick treadmill warmup and a lot of weights.

Okay movies waiting! Ciao folks.

Update: No pizza but I did pick at the kitchen some more...being at home is so terrible for me! There's always great food and so easy to get too!

Menu is below. Palak Paneer is a type of spinach soup made with a cream based sauce, in case you were wondering.

Day 38: Somethings up with my stomach.

I was out all day yesterday because I just felt SO sick and I have a really busy week ahead of me. Ugh. I woke up this morning and I STILL feel all queasy and bloated and gassy and a whole mix of stuff that I don't have the energy to stomach (ha, no pun!)...I think I'm going to go on a liquid diet for the rest of the day b/c I'm just struggling over here...maybe some pepto will help? Yuck. Okay, off to drag my bloated butt into a suit for power meetings all day long. sigh. Just thought I'd drop with all of my woes..who doesn't love a complainer at the crack of dawn. HA! sorry folks :(

Here's the menu for yesterday...I couldn't eat all of my points, I was worried I would get up close and personal with the porcelain gods.

Day 37

I had a hosh posh of food on sunday and I came out way lower in points than I thought...so I'm thinking that I forgot to track something. I'm not too worried about it; I had nothing around me all day except a huge casserole dish filled with grilled vegetables, a basket of grapes and a bunch of other veggies so even if I forgot to track a plate full of food...I'm thinking that between my points and APs I probably covered it.

The gym on sunday KICKED MY REAR! holy crap, I got on the stair master -- 55 steps a minute so about a level 7 and it was torture every minute through. I was just tired. I did finish it and I was pouring sweat by the end of it and I felt fabulous. I next went to do my upper body circuit and my arms just refused to cooperate. You know that feeling that you get when you're on your 3rd set and your arms feel exhausted. Well that was me from the very first moment. Ugh. I decided to give my dead arms a break and just do the upper body workout on another day.
