Week 2 of 10 August 12, 2008

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??!?!?

Week 1 weigh in August 4, 2008

First of all – AWESOME JOB JOCELYN!

I am considering doing core, maybe just for a few weeks. I haven’t been to the grocery store and we have a lot going on this week, but maybe next week I’ll give it a try. I always stuck to flex because I’m someone that likes to eat EVERYTHING, and flex gives me the opportunity to do that. However, everyone I know who’s done core has lost weight. And it looks totally doable to me!

As for me…

The good news is that I am down 4.4 lbs for the week!

Wahoo!

The bad news is that I have had an awful stomach bug for 4 days, and that’s really what had me lose the weight.

Since I’m not going to have that bug every week, I definitely need to stay on track. However, I am motivated to not gain that weight back. After 4 days like that, I deserve the weight loss.

How’s everyone else doing?!!?
