Update 12

Plan of attack-
okay, so I started my period, and I'm having crazy cravings. I'm a little afraid to get out the tape measure because I have no idea if I'm bloated or not. lol. Next week I'm going to try to stay on track better. All in all, this week I went to the max and ate some of my exercise points a number of days this week. I've got to get back to the green tea and protein powder regimen, but I just didn't do well with that this week. I did really great with working out though, which I hope will make up for all the bloaty, aunt flowy, chocolate cravy badness. I did a lot of cardio insanity and turbo fire type workouts.  Wish me luck with the weigh in this week.

Week 11 Weigh in

236lbs even! That's 3.8 lbs lost this week!  Wooo hooo!

Update 11

My plan of attack -

I was the same weight for about half of the week last week to halfway through this week. I hope I'm not plateauing.  I lost 4 inches this week, so hopefully I'm not plateauing.
Because of that,  I switched it up with my workouts this week. I'm  doing multiple small workouts throughout the day. I kind of let myself get a little crazy with eating too because I was craving chocolate like nuts and I was always hungry. I bought a pack of girl scout cookies, and between me and my kids, we ate them all. I did count the points for them though. Hopefully the switch-up broke the plateau, but we'll have to see. Next week, 1 youtube workout a day added to my usual routine, back to plan with eating, and no more boxes of GS cookies. (I figured one box a season is enough.)

Week 7/8 Weigh In

My plan of attack -


My face is clearing up. My eyes still swell a bit during the night and I have mild redness, but all in all, it's getting better.  My face looked so horrible that I didn't want to post a video, but I lost 1lb. Not an impressive loss. So, after two weeks of unimpressive losses, I knew I had to change something. That something was green tea. I've been drinking my green tea again, which I hadn't done over the last two weeks. Hopefully it will help increase my weight loss for this week. I think my children ran off with my measuring tape, so I'm going to have to add my measurements when I find it. First is green tea and Zumba, then protein powder, then searching under couches and beds. lol. I hope to have this edited by noon.
I'm very happy with my measurements this week. My Mom, my Hubby, and I have all noticed how trim my stomach, waist, and hips are getting lately. Thank you Zumba! lol

Week Seven - reflections

My plan of attack -


This has been a hard week. My allergic reaction to an anti-wrinkle eye cream has made me puffy. I hope it doesn't affect my weigh in. I've lost another inch, and I'm happy to see my stubborn thighs reducing. hopefully the trend will continue. This week I didn't calculate my dinner points on one day, Other days I realized that I was eating things I didn't account for. I've got to get back to calculating my points as I eat them. Otherwise I forget to log some of them. I've also got to get back to using sparkpeople faithfully. i've let that slide some too. I'll work on being more faithful to the WW plan this week. I only hope that this weeks weigh in doesn't go poorly because of all the stress and unaccounted eating. I did work out at least once a day, but I didn't do as well as I usually do with that either. Time to recommit and be vigilant.
