Tuesday Accountability

How'd it go this week, ladies?

I saw Lanerbelle AWing her weight loss on H&F & she looks great! Congrats on your accomplishment, Laner!

I did what I know works & over the past week I lost 3.2lbs. Sticking between 1200-1500 calories & doing sprints/HIIT on the treadmill is what WORKS for me. Now I just need to stick to it. I really, really want to get back down to ~130lbs before we go to Europe. I've even scheduled myself some presents:

-5% = pedicure

-10% = New shoes

-13% (goal weight) = Cute dress from Anthropologie

Re: Tuesday Accountability

  • Nice job CD and Laner! I'm down .2 pounds so I basically broke even this week. I'm satisfied with that considering I didn't count points at all this week. I'm .4 pounds away from a new pair of shoes! I'm determined to hit my 10% goal this week since we're somewhat settled in the house. There is no excuse for me not to stay on point.

  • This past week was rough for me. Being on vacation meant eating horribly. Since my last OB appt. I've gained another 2 lbs. so I'm up 15 at 33ish weeks. I think I'll be able to keep it to 20 lbs. 

    One awesome thing that happened was JJ and I went out to the bike trail by my parents house and I got the itch to start jogging, so I ended up jog/walking 3.5, 4 and 4.5 miles 3 days while we were there. My pace was slow, but I'm so happy I was able to jog at least 50% of the distance each day and I felt great!

    I might try to jog again this weekend, depending on how warm it is. Just need to keep eating healthy calories and not french fries and pancakes...

  • I'm trying very hard to get back on the bandwagon. I've been making healthier food choices including eating breakfast. I'm trying to get a lot more protien in my diet. I'm also eating a lot more fresh fruit and veggies for my snacks and instead of chips with my lunch.

  • I lost 3.8 pounds last week. I didn't do anything different, but it made up for the less than impressive week prior. 
  • I have lost all motivation the last couple of weeks. I had been doing these Strike Zone classes that I really like but I have not seen any weight loss whatsoever and that has contributed to my major slowing down at the gym. I decided this week I will try out some spinning and weight lifting classes and try to get into a routine with that since that is how I lost weight right before the wedding.

  • I am down 2 pounds since last Tuesday. It feels a little like cheating though, since last Tuesday's weight was the highest of the week. :)  I'll be gone on vacation for 5 days starting tomorrow, so you know that will mean a lot more eating out than normal. I will do my best to keep things in check!

    No :( Ice cream makes me sick.

    And tomato sauce gives me awful heartburn so no La Rosa's or vegetarian Skyline. Bummer!

  • I haven't lost/gained since last week, but the biotch is coming soon, so I'm starting to retain water already. Add to that a less than impressive diet this week.

    I did end up joining Baileys, and have gone three times now. I love it, and even DH suggested I go ahead and upgrade to the unlimited membership since I like it so much and am making a point to go. I just had my first personal training session yesterday, and it was a real eye-opener! I'm no stranger to weight training, but listening to the trainer was encouraging because I realized I can easily do this if I just stick to it.

    So yeah, not a great week, but good information and a good start. We'll see.

  • Thank you!!  I've hit my 20 pounds lost mark!  Woot woot!  Its been a good week.  I'm trying to keep up with my runs and Im tracking like a crazy person.  I want to lose another 10-15 pounds, so I still have a while to go, but I've felt pretty good about myself this week.

  • I have no idea.  I was back up two pounds when I went to the gym on ... oh I don't even remember what day it was.  I am still in the mid-140s.

    I was not feeling well for a few days (nausea and acid-reflux), so I didn't eat much then.  Hopefully that helped reduce the weight some.

  • I gained 4 pounds in two weeks! Go me. I was also in Chicago on vacation from one of those weeks and took being pregnant as a way to splurge.

  • I'm up 9 pounds total for the pregnancy, but I weigh more than I ever have (I started out a bit heavier with this one than I did with B)

    I'm really itching to go running and I can't wait 'til the end of August when my OB will hopefully clear me for it again.  I miss it.
