I need to get back to posting daily. It keeps me on track better.

Thanks to Jocelyn, I’ve decided to try the Core plan for a week or two. I did pretty well yesterday despite not having much on hand in the fridge.

I like being able to not worry about how much I’m eating and I have the 35 extra points for my little “necessities”. But I am going to try to curb those little munchies.

Last night, Lois ran to the store and picked me up some turkey, cereal, fruit, etc. The cereal that she got me is a Stop.and.Shop brand fat-free raisin bran and it’s not bad at all.

Today, my pickings include a banana, necterine, grapefruit, grilled zucchini from last night, deli turkey, sugar-free jello, fat-free cottage cheese, Diet Dr. Pepper, Lipton white tea and some other assorted things. I think I’m in good shape.

As for the weigh in, I actually didn’t do too terrible. I gained .4 this week. Based on the fact that all of my weight loss last week was fluid, I am surprised I didn’t gain it all back.

I am currently 174.4 lbs.

I need to restart my plan to do the “couch to 5k” running program. Based on our ridiculous bedtimes, 5:00 am wake ups is not possible for me right now. I need to do it at night and I’m going to start tonight. Come hell or high water.

How’s everyone else doing??!?!?

Where have I been?

Staying fat and happy miserable. I’m done feeling sorry for myself. I’m back on the wagon.

We did our 8 week Big.gest Lo.ser competition at work. I didn’t win. Not by a long shot. Some people here are doing that 3-day per week cardio diet. I tried it, lost 3 lbs in 3 days and gained 6 lbs on the 4th day.  We started a second season of the BL and I’ve gained weight in the past 3 weeks. WTF?

I’m back to W.eight W.atchers in full force. I got a new 3-month tracker and as of yesterday, I’m writing everything down.

Here’s the scoop, as of this morning, I’m at 175.7 lbs. My (realistic) goal is 155. I would love to be 150. I’m 5′7″ and I seriously doubt I will be my pre-law-school 137 ever again.

I want to lose this weight before two events

1. the beginning of our TTC journey

2. my 10 yr college reunion

Both of these are in October or so. The reunion will likely come first – so I can drink at it  and it’s 73 days from today. 

10 weeks. I am on my very own 10 week challenge.

And we’re off….

Is anyone still reading this? I hope you haven’t totally given up on me yet!

BTW – Great find: Keebler 100 Calorie Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper cookies (2 points) and they taste like thin mint gir.l sc.out cookies!
