Wednesday OFB check in!!!!!
How's everyone doing so far this week??? Is there anything that's working particularly well????
I'm doing pretty well eating. I've restarted weight watchers, and I love that fruits are zero points. So far that's been working. I'm struggling to motivate myself to exercise though. But I think I want to get my eating under control before I start exercising again.
Re: Wednesday OFB check in!!!!!
I love the free fruits and veggies! They really keep me going.
I went to weigh-in yesterday and lost another 1.4 lbs. Pretty impressed since I ate Chipotle the night before.
That's what I love about WW. I can still eat what I want and lose.
What kind of exercise are you thinking about trying? I kind of want to attempt C25K but I'm pretty intimidated by it.
I think I'm doing ok. I haven't weighed myself. I knew I should have weighed myself last week, but I didn't. My scale isn't even out of the box yet.
Right now my eating plan is basically, eat VERY healthy & low fat throughout the day, and then eat what I want for dinner without feeling guilty about it. So far it's working, or at least I'm not feeling guilty.
When I say I eat whatever I want for dinner, I mean that within reason. I cook pretty healthy (or try to) at home and we at home 70% of the time. Any time we eat out I'm trying to make good choices, not always the healthiest choice, but a good choice. For example I'll skip the french fries, or at least only eat a few and then pass on the rest.
I haven't been exercising lately and I know I need to start again.
I walked for 40 minutes around my building on my lunch today...baby steps:)
I'm trying to make it hard for myself to make excuses not to at least walk on lunch. So today I bought a new pair of sneakers that I'm going to keep under my desk...that way I'll always have comfy walking shoes with me.
Such a good idea! Then you have it out of the way when you're off work.
I'm down 2 pounds since I got back from Vacation. I took last night off as far as excecising since I had done a lot of activity in the 5+ days prior. But I got back on the treadmill tonight. WOOHOO. I'm thinking of start C25K on Sunday...
For dinner... grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and brown rice. I may make a sweet potato instead of the rice... ooh my tums is growling!
I've been doing okay but definitely a few slip-ups when it comes to snacks. I have managed to fit in more fruits and veggies though so that's a plus.
I also started making Green Monsters for breakfast again and I find that helps start the day off right with 3 servings of fruits/veggies in one smoothie.
Now for a TMI. If I could poop, I think I'd lose 5 lbs. I think I'll give it another day or two and then on to a laxative. It's been since Saturday morning. That afternoon I ate a ton of chili. How could that all still be in there!?!
Worked out Sun, Mon, Tues, Weds. Yay! I am doing the C25K and yesterday's run kicked my as$. Like majorly. I finished it... barely.
I also restarted tracking for WW on Monday. I took a few days off with New Years. I didn't want to see all that alcohol on there.

My eating this week has only been okay. We had a bottle of wine with Tuesday night's dinner. I am back to drinking more water.
Tonight I'm running Wk5 Day 3 of C25K. That is the straight 20 minute run. It should be interesting. DH is coming out to run with me although he is running 4 miles. I told him that he will probably pass me twice.
Yeah, it's nice having it out of the way. The time that I was most successful with losing weight was when I worked out at curve's on my lunch break. They used to have a location in my building. I totally miss that. My exercise went out the window when they moved out
I noticed I gained a few pounds during the holidays, but am back to my weight before they came along. I'm on Week 3 of my 8k training, so I'm up to running 2.75 miles. But, now that I'm no longer on vacation, I find trying to go to the gym Tues-Thurs when I get home from work not so easy. I didn't get home from work until 7pm last night and had zero motivation to go. Eating-wise, I'm doing better now that I'm back to my normal work routine, so that's good.
