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 36: Weigh in day!

Well, I go to a 7:30 am meeting on Saturdays so today was my weigh in day and of course, like I expected, the 180's didn't stick and I weighed in today at 192.4 but thats still -1.4 down from last week for a total loss of 5 lbs since I joined WW. Pretty darn good...not exceptional but still acceptable and I'll take it and run! What is everyone else saturday like? I just got back from saturday morning tutoring at a local school and lunch. I'm going to probably take a little nap and then head to the gym. I want to look up new class schedules for the month and make my gym schedule today and study a little bit too. Tonight, I'm probably going to go watch The other Boleyn Girl with some friends and call it a night. I'm absolutely swamped with stuff I need to get done this weekend so not much time for anything but lots of work and little play. Sigh. The desk in the office and I are about to get real friendly this weekend. Such is life! Be back later with the food stuff! Ciao ladies (and gentlemen? if there are any of you out there reading this blog...show yourself! I'd love to meet you!)

Update: I have hopelessly searched the blogging world and googled the heck out of workout logs and I still can't seem to find a way to neatly organize all of my workout into a monthly calendar. I want to keep track of my strength training reps/weights and my cardio but without too much clutter. If you have an idea, let me know...I would LOVE to hear it!! Okay enough already with the web surfing...I will do something productive with my life starting...NOW.

Update 2: Check out the side bar to see how I decided to organize my workout logs. Let me know what you think! Structure and logging is the first step to actually doing it!

Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose...
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away...
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
-U2, With or Without you.
Some days, you just need a little U2 to get through.

Day 29: Weigh In Day!!

I lost 2.8 this week; back to 193.8! I'm excited. Not much to say; BF's in town (for the last time possibly in a long long long long like a year!) time!

We went to studio movie grill tonight and I tried to eat the best that I could. Split most of everything with the BF AND I had 35 mins to get in and out of the gym. Now in the past, I wouldve said a short workout is not worth it at all. Hell no. I busted my butt to the gym and did a high intensity 20 min high incline walk on the treadmill = 3 points earned!

Heres the menu:

Day 22: (planned!) SplurgeFEST!

As I said earlier, the BF was in town on Saturday so I splurged a bit with him around...we sat around all day, talked, ate, watched movies and basically just relaxed....it felt good and it was much needed. Heres the menu below. See previous post for weigh in information but I was up 3.2 lbs this week...sodium and fast food right before the weigh in would do that to you!
