That's better

-2.2 this week.
That's awesome compared to last week.

I haven't made it to the gym.  I had finals Monday and Tuesday (4 in two days), and then I've been working most of the week.  And I'll be working everyday through Tuesday, and then we're out of here Wednesday, only to be back Sunday morning.  Woo for working!

I'm going to treat Christmas the same way I did Thanksgiving, and I think everything will be fine.  Maybe when we're at Justin's, we'll walk down to the beach by his house, because walking back up the hill is insane, but it will be amazing exercise.  :)

Merry Christmas!  My next weigh in falls in Christmas, so we'll see when I can weigh in.  I'll probably still do it on Christmas morning, just have to adjust since I can't really weigh in naked in Justin's living room.  :)

Current weight: 184.3 lbs
Weight to lose in order to be 'overweight' and not 'obese':  9.3 lbs

zeroed out

-0.  +0.  Nothing this week.

Nothing is always better than a plus.  Its been a bad week, honestly.  I've been sick since Monday. 

Only had water aerobics once.  But I must say, Sarah kicked my ass during it.  I was the only one that showed up, so we just did ab workouts and swimming, and man, I'm still feeling it two days later.  So even though nothing showed up on the scale, I can still feel my muscles, and to me, that's just as much progress as a number.

Next week will be better.  I just have to make myself go to the rec since water aerobics is over with.  And I'll be honest, I haven't counted points in weeks.  I should probably go back to that, especially now that the holidays are approaching. 

Later!

not a pure morning, a fat morning

-1.3 pounds.

I'll admit, I was relieved, because this morning was a "fat" morning.  Have you ever had those?  You just wake up, and you feel fat.  Even before putting on clothes that don't fit right or looking in the mirror.  Yeah, it was one of those morning.  I was reluctant to even get on the scale.  But it turns out its all in my head!  Haha.

Justin is sick, and I've been feeling pretty crappy as well.  Yesterday, I pretty much only ate cereal except for lunch.  I had it for breakfast, came home and had a lean cuisine for lunch.  Went to Kindergarten, came home, had a little bit of soup.  Then had a big bowl of frosted mini wheats before I went to work.   Then had a small bowl before I went to bed.  I didn't realize until I was laying in bed that I had eaten cereal 3 times in one day.  Probably not an amazingly healthy choice, but it was what I was craving.  Weird.

Slowly inching my way towards the next goal.
I was trying to think about long term goals, so I put our potential Kauai trip as the final destination.  We would go sometime in June 2010, which is roughly 27 weeks away.  If my ultimate goal is 135-140, I need to lose between 1.7 and 1.9 pounds a week for 27 weeks to be my "ultimate weight" when we go to my favorite tropical paradise.  I was telling Justin when I first thought about this that I've never been "skinny" when we went to Kauai.  Even in 3rd grade I was getting pretty chunky by then.  I'm actually kind of stoked to think that I'll be in Kauai and not be scowling at all the beautiful women in 2 pieces...lol. (Yes, that's the petty, critical fat women that is inside of me).  But anyways, enough fantasizing about the sun.  It's getting ready to snow here!  Boo!

Oh, and I did sign up for water aerobics next semester.  It is at 8 AM, which sucks, but I have classes at 9 anyways, so whatever.  And I got Justin and my friend Stephen to sign up too!  Yay!  Spreading the love of water aerobics.  And hopefully, if we can get our schedules to line up even a little, I'm going to start working out with my friend Linda, who lived on my floor last year.  :)

See you next week!
