Not exactly the way to start off reaching new goals, but that's okay.
Don't really have much to report this week. Just been working and such.
I do have a delicious recipe that I've made! Well, not really a recipe, but more of slapping some foods together. I've always loved the McDonald's McGriddles, but can never eat one again now that I've looked at the nutrition facts. So, instead, take two pieces of whole wheat toast, put sugar free maple syrup on the faces of each of the bread, cook up egg beaters, and top it off with a couple of slices of turkey bacon. Absolutely delicious! :)

New goals
-1.4 pounds!
I lost what I gained last week. Thank goodness.
I weighed this morning because we're leaving for Seattle tonight, so I won't have a chance to weigh again until I get back.
I only splurged once, and that was when I went to see Holly and Aiden off and stayed and had pizza at their place. Other than that, I stayed healthy, didn't eat/sneak any "bad" foods, and even worked some exercise in besides soccer--after I got off work on Sunday Justin and I went for a walk. And we went again on Monday night. I love night walks. :) And we went swimming for a couple of hours on Tuesday before the soccer game.
Heading to Seattle for the weekend--I swear leaving my safe, dieting apartment always derails me. This time I'm taking extra stuff with me. I usually always take my popcorn to snack on, but I have extra bagel thins and half a loaf of bread that is going to go bad unless its gets eaten this weekend anyways, so I'm taking it with me to help keep me on track.
My ultimate goal this week is to still see a negative number on that scale next Friday, despite the trip home for the weekend.
I think I'm going to change my goal at the bottom of my journal entries. I want to be in the 160's before classes start in late August. I know that's a little more broad, but its something that I would love to be. I think smaller goals always helped me before anyways, so we'll say I want to be 168 or lower when classes start on August 23rd.

UPDATE: I just got this message from my friend Alecia, and it cracked me up!
"I'm eating a weight watchers meal in London :D"
Then, right after that, I got this message:
"I take my excitement back, it tastes awful. I've never had any in America so I can't compare. But if this is the stuff you've been eating the last year then I envy your discipline and commitment, lol."
:)

Bouncing
+1.3 lbs.
Damn, talk about fluctuating weight loss and gain.
Frustrating. The only thing I can attribute it to is the amount of bread products I've consumed this week. I've had a pretty sour stomach a lot of nights, so I've just been eating bread. It seems to be the only thing that calms my stomach down.
And we went out to the bar after both soccer games and I had probably 2.5 beers each time. While its fun, going out drinking after soccer games kind of cancels out the exercise. :/
I have to go to work now, but for next week, I guess the goal is just to lose this gained weight, and then it will be finish losing the other gained weight. This sucks, I'm not going to lie.
Current weight: 175.3 lbs
Weight to lose until 155: 20.2 lbs

Are we there yet? :)
-1.6 lbs! woot woot!
As for my goals that I set for myself for this week, I got them done...mostly. The extra exercise outside of soccer ended up being in soccer. After our game was over on Tuesday night, the other team for the next game didn't show up, so I played a second game! :) It hurt so good. Haha.
I didn't get a chance to have a second exercise day. I did go swimming yesterday, but I was also drinking beer, so I feel like that kind of cancels it out. Haha.
And I did lose at least 1.5 of my gained weight! yay!
I'm definitely stepping back on the right path to get this going again. I just need more time to exercise! I work too much. Haha.
I think I'll keep my goals the same for this week. Lose another 1.5 pounds and really work on getting out and getting active again this week.
If I wasn't working late all the time and Justin didn't have so much homework, we could walk again. Maybe I'll have to make us anyways, even if its late.

OYE.
+3.4 lbs. OUCH. But my fault.
I figured I had a little bit of a bounce back from going home and going to Lena's wedding. But usually when I do some damage to myself, after a week or two its gone and I'm back on track. But jeez, how much weight did I gain after my vacation? I probably should have stepped on a scale when I got back to know what I was dealing with.
This is okay...well its not okay. But its doable. Its just a little bit of a set back that I can overcome and continue on my journey. I'm still kind of shocked to be completely honest...every time I glance back up at that number at the top of this entry. Being fat sucks sometimes.
I need to incorporate my own workout routine back into my life. Soccer is okay, but there are too many people on our team, and its not nearly as good of a workout as I thought it would be.
I know I need exercise. I have to choose it for myself though. I have to decide its time to get up off my butt and run.
That will be my goal for next week. I'm going to exercise twice outside of what little exercise I get from soccer. And see where that gets me. Maybe Justin and I just need to start walking again. That was where a majority of my success came from last summer. From the huge amount of walking we did.
Okay, so GOAL for next week: I will have exercised at least 2 days out of the week, and will have lost at least 1.5 pounds of this gained weight.

comfortable, but not nearly done yet!
Last week was a +0.2 lbs. So really, nothing. I'll make the excuse that I was on my period and ate my feelings. lol.
I forgot to weigh this week. I'll do it tomorrow morning though. I don't want to ignore my blog, start to ignore my weight loss. Because that's when the weight starts creeping back on slowly. Just like all the other times. I took a break, and now its time to get back with it. When I went home I had Chinese food. It was the great thing ever. But super fattening. That was my break, now the rest of the summer will be dedicated to getting the rest of this weight off. Because I'm not done.
Tomorrow will probably dissappoint me, because it will probably be a plus, but its something I'm expecting due to my week at home. I hate that I can't stay on track when I go home. Its something I have to really work on.

Almost got my vacation weight off.
Oops, apparently I forgot to update last week!
So last week was -0.7 lbs.
This week was -0.9 lbs.
I'm creeping back down. But honestly, I haven't "tried" to lose weight at all these last two weeks. When I came home, I went back to eating my usually vegetables, turkey meat, and fiber bread. But I like those things now, so I don't necessarily consider it my diet foods anymore. They're just the food I eat! (Positive outlook, if I say so myself!) :)
I NEED to get back into an exercise regime. I absolutely hate that I can't go to the rec center this summer without paying for it, but I can't bring myself to fork over $86 for two months. We live relatively close to the track, and I was just going to walk there and then walk/run around it to get my fix, but its seriously been the crappiest weather here for the past 2ish weeks. Justin and I haven't even really been able to walk at night like we were doing at this time last year because its cold! In June! But that's a whole other rant altogether.
Justin and I are officially playing soccer for Pullman Parks and Rec. The games start the 22nd and go for a month. We'll play 2 games a week, on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm super stoked. AND, it will be a form of exercise. I used to get into pretty good shape when I played soccer, so I'm excited about that. I just can't wait for it to start! :) My team wanted to practice yesterday, since I haven't touched a soccer ball in 3 or so years, but yesterday we had a freakin' typhoon or something, and it was canceled.
Well, I need to get ready to go to work!
