-1.3 pounds this week.
yippee!!
I've been slowly making changes to keep this thing going. I replaced the pizza crust in the pizza I make with tortillas, and hey! its still tasty, and 3 less points! I bought some carrots, and munch on those when I'm feeling munchy or bored, and I really really worked out hard this week.
(And I also needed to work off all the birthday festivities! Omelets for breakfast and sushi for dinner! SO GOOD!)
Both days in water aerobics I worked my ass off, and then last night we visited the rec center and I pushed myself on the elliptical, and it felt so good. I ended up going 2.5 miles and burning 315 calories, which is the most I've ever done. :)
Well I have to run this morning, so that's it for now.

I'm almost 22!
Nada. Still at the same weight from last week. I did have pizza and went out with Jes on Thursday for Karaoke. I feel those are weight-loss hindering activities. Haha.
On a more exciting note, my birthday is tomorrow! I'll be 22! Dang, I'm old. lol, just kidding. And Justin got me Wii Fit Plus for my birthday. He made me go upstairs and when I came down to weigh myself, he had already put the game in the wii. How cute, right? :)
Next week will be better. We will actually have two full days of water aerobics (syllabus week and MLK day hindered this), and Justin and I will work out on Friday and any other day that we feel up to it.
I know this is my weight plateau that every hits. Its obviously not a plateau yet because I haven't not lost in a couple of weeks, but I know that its time for one. And knowing that puts me ahead of the game, because now I just have to work harder than before to keep going.
I just keep thinking about Kauai, and I know I can do this. :) See you next week!

That's better.
-1.1 pounds.
Its something. It's a number--so I'm happy.
Only had water aerobics on Wednesday, and we won't have it again until next Wednesday because of MLK day. I'll just have to get my butt into the gym this weekend and Monday too to make up for it. The rec is SO busy right now...I figure in another week the people that weren't serious about working out will stop coming, and it will be back to bearable again. When Justin and I went on Monday, it was so packed it was making me uncomfortable.
I need to change up my eating habits, and find foods with fewer point values, especially for dinners. I know I'm heading towards a plateau if I continue eating just like I am. I actually wrote down everything I ate this week, and calculated points, and I was nearing if not hitting my maximum points each day. So I need to tone them down, especially since when I hit my next goal (of being overweight, and not obese), I'm going to go down a point value again. Time to explore some new recipes! I found some ones made by the Biggest Loser the other day that looked pretty good.
Well I have to jet off to class. See you next week!

NOTHING.
Blah. I was really disappointed this morning. Got on the scale, and nada! Still at 183.2.
I'm disappointed because we worked out so much this week. We went 3 times, and I worked my ass off on the elliptical, and swam in the pool afterwards too. Muscle building maybe? I always hate to assume that that's what it is, since I honestly have no idea what it is. Those crazy people on the Biggest Loser work out a lot and they lose weight! Haha, well obviously I didn't work out as much as them, but still.
Okay, well I guess the only thing I can do is hold my head up high and look forward to a big number next week. I can't wait to start water aerobics on Monday. And Alecia and I are going to pick out a yoga class to take together in the evenings. Woo exercise!
Current weight: 183.2 lbs

KAUAI!
Okay, so we're definitely looking at a Kauai trip in May. EXCITING. So I did a little math, and this is what I've got figured out:
Current weight: (duh!) 183.2
Weeks until Kauai trip: 19
Weight I can lose (in a healthly manner!) between now and then: 28.5 lbs (that's at 1.5 pounds a week, for 19 weeks)
Weight I would be at leaving for beautiful Kauai: 154.7 lbs
While 154.7 wouldn't be my end all weight, as I want that to be somewhere around 135-140, 154 would be the skinniest I've ever weighed while being in Kauai! Even as a kid I was a chunk.
Here's me and my sissy when we went in 2008:

Haha, embarrassing. I was somewhere in the 200's there, but I couldn't tell you for sure where.
I'm excited. I'm excited to go on vacation and take Justin, and also, I still excited to be skinnier and healthier. Usually by this time in my dieting, I would get bored, and/or just be satisfied with the progress that I've already made. But not this time. This time I have my hubby supporting me, and all you guys! :) Thank you.
So far I've lost a total of 40 pounds. 40! That's like an entire little person! And honestly, that puts me at right about half way there. I've got about 40 more pounds to go.
Thank you everyone who reads my blog every week and encourages me. I appreciate it so so much, and it helps me that much more to keep me going. :)

Happy New Year!
-1.1 pounds.
I didn't weigh on Christmas because I forgot the wii fit, and I couldn't find a scale. I did weigh when we got back to our apartment on Monday, and it was +0.7. That was sad for me. So I just kicked my ass back into dieting, and we even went to the rec center yesterday! So when I got on the scale this morning, it said -1.8, so I had to take into consideration the little gain I had after the holidays. But now its gone! And I'm back on track.
When we went to the rec center, I got on the elliptical like usual. I really didn't think I would be able to do more than 10 minutes, because I just felt out of shape. But I guess I'm not as out of shape as I thought! I did a 27 minute weight loss routine, and though it was hard, it felt good. I went a little more than 2 miles and burned 265 calories. :) It made me realize how much I missed working out. Too bad the rec center is closed today. I found that ironic--Most people say that want to work out/lose weight for their new year's resolution, but the rec center is closed. Haha.
Happy New Year!
