My body took a week off! :)
-0 pounds this week.
Which...I'm perfectly okay with. I feel like my body needed an adjustment week from the 2 pounds from last week, and I did get a warning from Weight Watchers that I was losing too fast.
I didn't actually make it to water aerobics at all last week. I got sick from one of the preschoolers I was subbing for, and then I've been killing myself working the past week and a half. So I really haven't had the time or energy to do much anything else besides sleep and go to work. Excuse? Yeah. But a damn good one considering I've worked a couple of doubles between the coffee shop and preschool this past week.
Justin paid for me to have a massage today. :) Not directly related to my weight loss, but its definitely going to make my body feel good. And then maybe I'll be more willing to get up and do something after work tomorrow. :) I'm going to set a mini goal for myself this week of doing at least 2 days of Biggest Loser workouts with the Kinect. Then next week I'll add another. :)
And I've gotta stay out of the samples at work. I've allowed myself to eat them as long as a counted them in my points, but I can never stop at just one. So we're going back to no samples! Stupid delicious pastries. lol.
See you guys next week!
Current weight: 143 pounds
Less than hubby weight: 6 pounds
Weight to lose to meet final goal: 13 pounds

Weight Watchers is mad at me.
-2 pounds this week!
Weight watchers is mad at me. I inputted my weight loss for the week, it told me "Congrats! You've made it to your 5% goal mark!" Then, it gave me a lecture about losing weight to fast. It said it was okay to lose 2 pounds in one week, but it was not ago that my average weight loss was 2 pounds over a 4 week period. Oops! I don't think I've ever thought that I would have a problem dropping too much weight....oye. But I know that in itself can become a problem, and the last thing I need is a eating disorder on the opposite end of the spectrum.
So, Justin suggested I use a little more of my flex points, because I will obviously still lose. And I NEED to start working out again. I'm dropping weight, but its not the good kind. I'm noticing saggier skin (and yes, some of this is probably in my head), and my boobs....aaahhhh. I asked Justin for a shake weight the other day. lol. But I am convinced that the last 5 pounds were only lost out of my bra. :) Haha, only half kidding. :)
I need to get some real exercise going so I can build up muscle and deal with my skin issues. I am active--I walk everywhere. But walking has never really been a muscle building exercise. My tattoo is just about done, so water aerobics will definitely continue starting next week. I don't think I will sign up for a gym. No, I won't. I keep forgetting I still have my Biggest Loser game. I just need to force myself to do my muscle building exercises with Bob. Or make Justin make me do it. Haha.
All in all, its been a good week. When I subbed in a preschool yesterday, I tried a grapple--pronounce it with a long A sound. Its an apple infused with grape flavoring. Super weird at first, but yummy! And one of the other teachers gave me a mango. Showed me how to cut it up so its easy to eat. YUM! :)
Oh, and one last thing. My wonderful husband, due mostly to the fact that I'm dieting, has lost weight as well. UGGHHH. lol. So my countdown to weighing less than him did not change this week, since the putz lost 2 pounds. :) That's okay, it just puts off the awesome sushi date that much longer for him as well. :)

back on track! :)
-1 pound! :)
I'm pretty stoked to see negative movement this week. I felt like this week was going to be a "getting back into the swing of things" week, and I kind of felt it some days.
Yesterday was really hard for me. I haven't turned to food as an emotional crutch in a LONG time. I still sometimes eat out of boredom, but eating because I'm sad hasn't been a problem. Butttt, my uncle passed away yesterday morning. He was fighting a hard battle against cancer, and Jesus decided to rescue him. :) But I was struggling yesterday. And I was at work, and trying not to openly weep--I ate a couple too many samples off of the counter. :( Oh well.
Today I'm feeling more in tune with my body, and my stomach. And I'm coping in healthier ways. :) Chasing around preschool kids at school today definitely helped. AND it was good exercise! Haha. I also treated myself to poke for dinner, which is my absolute favorite food in the whole world! yuuummmm.
My tattoo is in the itching phase, which is a good healing sign. Due to my work schedule next week, I won't actually be able to go to water aerobics until Friday. At least I'll definitely be able to go be then! :) Now that I can't/shouldn't go to the beach, I really want to go...haha. Only have a few more days I think!

Quick weigh in!
No change, which is absolutely fine.
I splurged a little, obviously with the wedding, and I also indulged in some Costco pizza...yuuummmmm. :) I hit Mongolian grill in Portland with my family, and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten! Plus! it wasn't even really a splurge since I only put a handful of chicken in my bowl and the rest was vegetables! I think my brother is still confused about my lack of noodles...lol.
I'm craving exercise, but think I'm going to have to skip water aerobics tomorrow considering my tattoo isn't even a week old yet. :( I need to do some epic walking in the meanwhile so I can get a negative number on the scale come Friday.
And maybe I'll do some sit ups while I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. :)

Delayed weigh-in
There won't be a weigh-in until I get back to my scale on the beautiful island of Maui, which will be Tuesday morning.
I went ahead and restarted my points yesterday anyways, which was much needed considering it was Andrew's wedding. I did pretty well for dinner (salmon and asparagus! yum!), but desert is delicious and point destroying. :) But I had a fantastic time, and the wedding was beautiful! :) And I had to have earned some activity points for all the dancing I did! lol.
So no weigh-in until next week, and hopefully whatever the damage is, Maui can help me get rid of it by Friday!
Oh, oh, and new goal! At least weigh in, I was at 146. Justin currently weighs 140. So my next goal is to weigh less than my hubby! A mere 7 pounds from now. And he said my treat for making that goal is a trip to the awesome sushi place in Haiku that he took me to for my birthday. They had AMAZING vegan and vegetarian sushi, and I think I may still dream about the pumpkin roll. :)
See you guys next week, when I'm back across the beautiful ocean.
