Weekly Weigh In: Week 43

Weight: 145.2 lbs Loss: see below

3 weeks ago after my flu I weighed 145.2, but the past three weeks of my own little eating fest my weight crept back up to 149. boo. But, I worked out every day this week, ate pretty darn well and got back down to 145.2! Yippee!! 3.8 lbs since mon. ahhh. 

Jake lost like 6 pounds. He has been working so hard. He DOES NOT cheat on his diet. He puts me to shame when at 8pm I am looking through the pantry! :o)

We are going to keep the momentum going for another week. My big fear is that I will blow it all this weekend. I have Girls Night Out tonight and tomorrow we are having our "cheat meal". I can do this though right? (I will not miss popcorn and coke at the movies right?! ummmmm.)

I am craving some shopping.... must mean I am getting my period soon. (Anyone else have the urge to shop when they get their period?) 

Hope to bring a good report for next week.

Don't Be A Fattie Week!

So after a scary week of  sugars and carbs, I was so excited to get back on track, and back to a happy relationship with my scale! I have been trying to convince Jake to just try my diet for 2 weeks.  He caved!! He's 3 days in and has lost 4lbs so far. I have lost about 3. We keep this chart on the wall. It contains about 5 or 6 things. Winner gets to pick where we have our 1 cheat meal for the week on Saturday! :o)

We started day 1 with just liquids and day 2 was mushies and today was back to normal. I just felt like I needed to cleanse the carbs and sugar out. I feel so much better. I am almost back down to my lowest!! We've been working out everyday too. I peed like 18 times yesterday from all the water I've been drinking.

Sometimes losing weight is so much fun! ha. I guess when you are losing right?!

Not A Good Report

I suck this week. Like really bad. Like ate horribly all week and just came home and made peanut butter cookies with the hershey kiss in the middle and can't even remember how many I ate. 

I lost so much weight being sick(down to 144) and then in 2 days gained all the damn weight back (148) without even eating bad.

Then I just said "screw it" for the week my parents came out but I am still up to my no good eating. I worked out 3 times this week and prob will tomorrow.

I am scared of the scale. I prob will work my butt off starting Sunday and weigh in next Fri. I hoping to at least get to a 147.

I bought a dress for my June wedding. Looks just like this. H&M. Medium. The large was just a tad big. The med is just a tad tight. 10 pounds and it would be perfect.  This dress is my motivation! Holy Moly I gotta stop eating!



That is all. Hope everyone is having a better week than me!!


(I have to say having a bad week post surgery is so different from a bad week pre- surgery. Post surgery I still eat really small meals and consider 1/2 cheeseburger and 4 onion rings with fry sauce a total failure when in truth it's prob 500 calories max....but 6-8 cookies I ate today are bad in every single way!)

Weekly Weigh In: Week 40 - The Flu Diet

Weight: 145.2 lbs  Loss:  6 lbs (from 2 weeks ago)

My stomach bug turned out to be a full blown flu. I have never had the flu before. I pretty much wanted to die yesterday. I was sweating but freezing, fever, shaking, pounding headache, totally disoriented and just plain miserable. It was a glorious moment last night when my fever broke. I could still barely walk or function but I could at least smile and hug my kids.  I lost 4.5 pounds in the last 3 days. While this wasn't the way I wanted to reach my goal of being 145 by the end of the month, I did it. 

Yesterday I would have gladly given back all 4 pounds. Today I still am sweaty and weak, but I am managing to type out real words on the computer (at least I think these are real words).

I think next year I will just get the flu shot! My hubby is really anti vaccine, but I will pass on all the fun next year.

Oh... I finally bought my "lost 50 lbs" reward. A zumba shirt! I still love my Zumba! There is only one girl that teaches it at the gym that rocks my world. She is actually overweight, but she works it every class and I feel like a super star when the class is over.

I can't believe I am only 15 lbs from goal! I hope I can get there by my 1 year mark! (June 24th)

Ok. My flu is taking over again. Off to bathroom I go!

Happy Friday!

Sick but Skinnier

Wow! Was feeling funky before I went to bed last night! Woke up suddenly at 2:45am and knew if I wasn't sitting on the toilet in 10 seconds it was going to be messy! Barely made it and then continued to sit there on and off until about 7:30am. It was miserable. I thought I was going throw up at the same time, thank goodness I didn't. I was shivering and my lips were freezing. I soiled 3 different pj pants trying to run back to the bathroom. It wasn't my most glorious moments!

 I had to cancel my sub job for the day and barely made it through the day chasing after my kids. I am so lucky to be living with my in-laws and Jake's siblings. They really stepped in to help me today.

Tonight I have a fever and headache. Jake let me just pass out in bed all night. I finally made myself get up to help put the kids to bed and force food down my throat. 400 calories for the whole day. Haven't done that in a while.

I got on the scale. I was 149 yesterday and today I'm 146. And I thought there was no way of reaching 145 my the end of this month. Stomach bug took care of that no prob.

While I don't wish a night of the runs to anyone, it's still thrilling to see 3 lbs off the scale in 8 hrs! Pretty sure my fitbit tracker was really confused in sleep mode last night as I was out of bed every 5 mins.

Time to shower and maybe even brush my teeth for the day before I turn in. Good friends!
