monday, monday
while doing the semi-low carb thing last week, i learned somethings about myself:
cheater, cheater, bacon eater?
i put some of my lost weight back on over the holidays. and for the past week, i have been counting my points like a good girl, waiting for the scale to shift the slightest bit.
i have a few options…
other sites to get lost in…
i have made some recent web-scoveries while home from work sick today…
so many blogs and so little time, http://condron.us is like a remote control for your blogs, and my husband has the clicker flipping away.
hungry girl…because a girl gets hungry, even when dieting and maintaining. she does a great job of reviewing diet friendly, yet tasty, food, recipes and a lot more!
skinny and the city… yes, it’s a play on words, but it works. diet, nutrition and fashion at your fingertips.
on the way down
well, dr. atkins seems to be helping me, any water weight is now gone. i woke up this morning and was 3 pounds lighter…which has kind of given me a second wind to keep going with the induction. besides the eggs, i was all lean meat and green veggies yesterday. was not even very hungry. i know atkins is still kind of…controversial. but, i am eating lean meats, veggies….nothing high fat. i will get back with BFL at some point, but this is giving me a nice little jump. today’s meal will probably look a little like yesterday’s, but today i’m going to add some whey protein shakes.
today’s workout is a FUN one: core rhythms. it’s a workout/dance dvd and you can feel your legs and waist firming while doing it. i have found that exercise is helping me feel better with the depression. i am trying to stop by the Dr. tomorrow to find out my next step.
can’t get you out of my system
things are about the same, so i guess it’s not the BC, since that is out of my system. i am taking the kids into daycare on friday to get some things done, and to get the baby a little familiar with his teachers. and, today i am starting something new Read the rest of this entry »
hello, hello
did you think the pms killed me off? i thought it would. i was late. Read the rest of this entry »
week 2 weigh-in
sorry i did not post yesterday! i found myself in target forever…couldn’t you just live in target? i went to get an exersaucer for henry. been trying to put it together all day. either it, or i, are defective, not sure which yet. i guess i will wait for husband to get in and easily say, “it just goes like this”. whatever gets henry in it works for me.
on to the weigh in….
i lost 2 pounds this week, even with a pms induced craving caving. so, 7 pounds in two weeks, not too shabby. today i am fighting a migraine, which i think is also from hormones, and just laying low. eating has been on par today, haven’t worked out. not sure if i will. i know we are all supposed to workout and push through it….but my head is killing me and i just want to cuddle with my baby.
jen left a comment about combining bfl and the firm. jen, i love that you have a workout spreadsheet! i think that needs to be passed along…i may email you for it! i would love to get a plan for the coming week, instead of figuring it out as i go along.
let me know how everyone else is doing! i took measurements yesterday (ick) and so hopefully i will be able to start noticing the inches going away….hopefully 
i had forgotten the ills of pms….
this is totally for the ladies. any male readers may want to tune out….
i weigh in tomorrow. so, i had been really excited….but, i awoke today and was heavier. the culprit?? pms. i hope. even though i have only had one, what i would call, real period since having him, i can feel that this one is totally back to normal. i’m weepy. i’m tired. but most importantly, i am heavier! ahhhhhhhh! it bothers me to be doing so well and know when i weigh in tomorrow, that i might be the same weight as last week. oh the woes of the womanly.
did we talk about cravings yet? i gave in once. to mcdonalds. i wanted beef. is that weird? it was for me. and of course with beef came fries…i had been so worried for a while about cheating. but now that i did it and it’s done….i don’t know. i guess i feel like the monkey is off my back, so to speak. i got back on plan after my indiscretion. and i’m living to tell about it.
ok, so tomorrow i weigh in. i will post the loss or gain tomorrow. week two has been in the win column except for one meal, so i still feel pretty good about that. i guess i am learning, it is all or nothing, but it’s not. i am in this. really in this. and am still human and me. so, at least i am learning to not quit. mcdonalds will always be there. but that doesn’t mean it has to derail my progress or resolve.
(and can i tell you, it was tasty and just about worth it to get these cravings to stop!)
meals in the meals and moves.
