plateau...dang

Dang, I gained 0.2 of a pound...lol, so nothing really.  200.8 pounds.

But I didn't lose.  :(
Its okay though, I was prepared for this.  Last weekend was horrible.  Drank a lot, and when I drink, I get the most ridiculous munchies.  I think I was putting easy cheese on cheeze-its with Stephen.  Ew.  So that probably has a lot to do with this, plus, I had a few coffees this week because I've been so tired and not sleeping very well.  If I get a tall, nonfat sugarfree caramal machiatto from starbucks, its only two points.  But I was getting mochas from other places, and I have no idea how bad those are.
And I missed a day of water aerobics due to not feeling good and being at the doctor.

I know these all sound like excuses, well, because they are, but at least I know what I did that got in the way.  And next week, I can get more sleep, attend class, quick drinking those mochas, and get my ass back in gear

This is okay, because my weight loss will be a continued journey through the rest of my life, and I'm going to have many bumps and backslides.  And then I'm going to have an awesome week next week.  :)

annndddd...almost there.

Lost 1.5 pounds. 
Now down to 200.6. 
0.7 and I would've been under!! 
Haha, its alright.  All with time, right?

so I creep...yeaahhh.

Haha, talk about creeping below 200.
Lost 1 pound.

And in all honesty, this was a horrible week, and I was relieved to see the scale not go up.
We partied on Saturday and Sunday, beer pong both nights. And when I drink, even if I'm drinking light beer, I get the serious munchies. Its horrible. So both nights I was snacking on chips and dip, which is TERRIBLE for you. haha. So I started my week out bad, but I just told myself we would walk this week. We didn't.

We had 3 more BBQ's this week, and while I opted for the veggie burgers, they tasted like they had been cooked in hamburger grease, so that probably wasn't a great choice either. AND, I had a cookie! lol. Its ridiculous how I'm like, oh fuck, I had a cookie (and a rice krispie at another one of the BBQ's), I'm going to gain 3 pounds.

Also, Monday was a holiday, so I didn't have water aerobics, so only one day of working out this week.

So yeah, bad week, but still a little progress. So this next week, when I kick ass at my diet, I'm going to break 200! IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

Catch you next Saturday, when I will weigh below 200!

pound by pound

Down 1.1 pounds this week, down to 203.

I feel like because I wanted to break 200 so bad, we're slowly going to creep there...lol.

Actually, I will admit I wasn't as fantastic about counting points this week. I start to get lazy because I know which foods I can eat and which I can't, and then just kind of wing it throughout the day. I know this next week I need to step it up again. And I need to stop snacking off of Justin' s plate, because we all know the foods he can eat will make me gain lotsss of weight. lol.

But yeah, still a loss, so I'm not disappointed, but I just wish we could hurry up and break that 200 mark already. I want to leave the 200's, and never return again! :)

Oh, and I bought a pair of size 16 shorts at Wal-mart last night, and they FIT! Exciting, especially because my size 18's were looking a little ridiculous on me. I could pull them off when they were zippered and buttoned up. Yay for new sizes!

discovery!

Okay, my friend Jes told me about this one, and I tried it, and it was delicious!

Take a graham cracker (I got low-fat cinnamon ones), break it in half, put two tablespoons of fat free cool whip (or another kind of whipped cream...fat free is key though) into the middle of the two, and put them in the freezer.

When they come out, they're delicious! Like an ice cream sandwich! yummm!

I hope my number is going to be good on Saturday. Justin pointed out that because I'm working out so hard in water aerobics (my ass muscles hurt like a mother!), that my number may not be as big because while I'm losing fat, I'm also gaining muscle. So we'll see!

See you Saturday!
