1月29日 Stephanie: TuesdayWow, how about the Biggest loser tonight. It was full of surprises. I was shocked at Kelly's 0 loss and Paul's 3 pound gain. Paul's weigh in broke my heart. They all worked so hard to lose the weight. What Paul said about decreasing the amount he ate so he would lose more weight, only to sabotage himself. How many of us have done the same thing. Part of me wonders if that was part of the reason I gained last week. I did not eat all my allotted points everyday. I did not use my flex points or my activity points. I am trying to keep that on track this week. I am still working out. I added some weight training this week. Lifting weights have caused my arms to hurt since Sunday. Ouch. When Kelly went to her team and said if it's one of us to go, Paul needs this more. He deserves this. I am seeing another side of her. Last week I thought it was about game playing. This week you can see she genuinely cares about Paul and the other players. That support she provides will go a long way. We all need support. Having that support team is so vital for the success of our weight loss. I am glad I have the support I do. 1月28日 Shelley: Positive AttitudesI really think a positive attitude is one of the key’s to successful weight loss. I mean there are lots of components to weight loss and they aren’t necessarily food related. 1. Positive attitude: How can you lose weight with negative thinking. YOu have to look at yourself positively and with open eyes. Positive attitude will reward you with positive results. 2. Non scale victories: I think this is a key to keeping that positive attitudes. Sometimes the scales can be mean or nonrelenting by either not moving or even moving up a notch or two. You have to look at the other victories. Take your measurements. These numbers will go down and these will measure success as well. Measure your arms, waist, hips, and thighs. You also have the way your clothes fit. Have you moved to smaller sizes or are your current sizes fitting looser. How about your face? Do you see that it’s slimming down? 3. Emotions. How many of us eat because we are bored, tired, angry, sad, happy, or depressed? I know my hand is waving high in the air. We have to find things to turn to besides food. Go for a walk, exercise, read a book, take a bath, or come on to this site and read blogs. You’ll find out that you aren’t alone. I just wanted to come on to let you all know that there are battles out there and we all can get through them. Keep the positive attitude up, look at the nonscale victories, and watch your emotions. We are all Losers!!! We all are going to win the war against the weight! We CAN do it! 1月27日 Shelley: Congrats StephieI just wanted to come on and congratulate Steph on all of the nonscale victories. I think sometimes they are better then the scales. I'm so proud of her. She is definetely an inspiration to me. I have had some victories as well. I started out in a tight 24 and am now fitting into a 20. Measurements haven't been as nice to me but they will. My uniform shirts that used to be tight are now loose. I'm getting better on the exercise. I will kick butt this week. Steph, I'm giving you a run for your money or should I say bracelet. Stephanie: No loss this weekWell I did not loss weight this week. I gained 0.4 lbs. I know that is not much, but I worked harder and ate better this week than I have since I started. I did not go over my points at all, and I did not eat my activity points. I did not eat my extra 35 weekly points. I got my milks, fruit and veggies in most of the week. I did better this week than any other week. I won our weekly activity point challange with 23 points. Two more points than the previous week. I am just going to have to kick in in gear. I do need to concentrate on my non scale victories. When I started WW, I was 246 pound and wore a size 24 jeans that were getting snug. Walking up the stairs, caused me to be short of breath. Today I wear size 22. Some of them are looser as well. I can now go up the stairs without becomming short of breath. Another victory are my measurements.

One of the things that I really count as a victory this week is that I bought 3 pairs of exercise pants in XL that were not in the plus size. I was happy for that. I have not shopped in the regular department in years.
I did work out today so I got some exercise in. Have a great day. 1月26日 Shelley: WW weigh inYippee! I lost 2.2 pounds this last week. Steph won our activity challenge for the third week in a row. Congrats Steph. However, she didn't beat me by much. I'm feeling pretty good about how things are going. I'm now at a 19.8 loss for weight watchers. I've lost 32.2 pounds since June 2007. It may not sound like much but the fact that I've kept it up has been a great achievement in itself. Steph and I will be in Indy soon. 1月24日 Shelley: TestsTests. I have had to many tests. I had one in each of my classes and then the daily tes of losing this weight and exercising. I'm not sure I'm beating Steph in our activity challenge. I am however getting activity points in. I used the elliptical today and yesterday. I am taking the steps at school instead of the elevator. I'm not using my flexpoints as much either. I'm making small changes. I hope the scales show them this week. Stephanie:Ok this will be my second attempt to post this. I attempted tp post around 1am this morning but after i was done the post disappeared. Yesterday was a long day. I ended up having to work 16 hours and missed my Zumba class. I was bummed. I did not get off work til about 11:45pm. I was so tired but I had not gotten my exercise in. I really wanted to go home and the entire car ride, I kept telling myself I can go home, I can exercise in the morning. But I drove to the gym. I was just going to walk on the treadmill a little, but once I started walking, I got my energy back. I even worked myself up to running for 2 minutes this time. Baby steps. I would like to be able to run for 5 minutes in a month. Of course after I got home, I crashed. A nap sounds good about now. Have a great day. 1月22日 Shelley: Bad DayToday was not a good day for many reasons. I did stay within points but didn't exercise. I will be pushing it the next few days to get my points. I still have not used one single flex point this week. I'm going into my two school days. Well, I agree with Steph on the Biggest Loser. I think if you are proven to throw a weigh in that it should automatically be considered a disqualification or your following weigh in is penalized. The orange team should have gone home. I can't believe they are still there after that. Kudo's to the yellow team for winning. However, if i were them I would be wondering if they would have won had the orange team had not thrown the competition. WIth that being said, Paul's determination to lose really inspired me. He got up in the middle of the night to exercise. I would call that motivation! They took the challenge and ran with it. I'm going to have a better day tomorrow. I will ace my test, exercise, and eat right. Steph, thank you for the texts today. I'll be texting you throughout the day tomorrow. Stephanie: TuesdayWhat a emotional Biggest Loser. I was rooting for the yellow team to beat the average, but I was glad to see the black team won immunity. I know they were trying to stay in the game, but to pick off the pink team because they voted for them was poor sportsmanship. Betty-Sue and Ali consistently put up the numbers and they have not fallen below the yellow line. Purple team has fallen below the yellow line continuously and threw the weigh in. But because they promised to have the yellow team's back, they got to stay. I would love for the orange team to get booted off next. Then purple, followed by the blue team. All I have to say is I hope Bob and Jillian work those who did not put the numbers up this week harder than ever. On my end, I got my exercise in. I am still feeling my Zumba workout yesterday. Shelley and I have been texting our meals and points trying to stay in line. I measured myself today and I lost another inch at the waist. Yippee. I am going to continue to lose the pounds and inches. I have the support of my family, friends, and most importantly my fellow weight loss mamma. 1月21日 Shelley: Doing BetterI'm doing much better. I really half to up my exercise. I noticed Steph is doing a class. I'm so proud of her and am glad that she is enoying herself. To give myself a little break, even if I had a Y membership I couldn't do it because of my foot. Oh well! I am doing my exercises and staying within points. I'm three days into the new week and no flex yet. Yipppeee!!!!!! It just takes a little extra work and determination. I'm determined and am going to accomplish. I want to say goodbye to the 240's this week. I don't want to ever see them again. I know I'm going to do it. Hard work will bring results. Stephanie: Zumba babyI joined a new class today at the Y. They are doing Zumba classes. I don't know how many of you know what that is. I didn't even know until I saw an infomercial on it. It is a dance class with latin and international music. You really move your body. Time flew by. It was a great work out and I really felt great after it. I am looking forward to going again. 1月19日 Shelley: A Little Less of MeOkay, I only lost .6 pounds. I'm at 240.6. It's not a big loss I know but a loss none the less. Yes, Steph won the challenge again last week. She better cherish the bracelet because I'm going to get it next week. I know why my loss wasn't that big and it's okay. I had a hard week last week and I need to learn to not let stress get to me. It's a new week. I'm going to have a big loss next week. Congrats Steph on the win and the huge loss! I'm so proud of you! Stephanie: What a difference a week can make.WhoooooooooooHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I lost 3.8lbs this week. I am so happy to see the scale move after my slight gain last week. It feels good. I definitely pushed it this week with the exercise. I am glad to see the cheese fiasco did not do much damage. I got in a 45 minute walk today. So I started earning my activity points for the week. Shelley is going to give me a run for the bracelet this week. She wants to wear it. Have a great day. 1月17日 Shelley: Tough DayToday was a tough day. I ate too much for lunch and really wanted to eat even a lot more for supper. Stephanie saved me. She texted me and gently talked me out of eating the chinese that I thought I wanted. I had chicken and baked potato instead. I did start the day off good. I got on the elliptical for 5 minutes while waiting for my friend to get her for classes. I then ate Hacienda for lunch after my first class. I then had my second class after lunch. Pharmacology with the teacher who is hard. It's going to be nuts. I need all the smarts for this class. It was also my mom's birthday. She passed away over 14 years ago but it's still hard to deal with. I know my chinese was just for emotional reasons and not because I really wanted it. This is why Steph and I make a good team. She did her best to tell me no and then I was going to order it anyway but the more I thought about it. The more that I knew she was right. She gave me the strength to not reach for what I know I shouldn't have. I did do 12 more min on my elliptical after I got home from school. I also used the stairs at work in place of the elevator. Small changes will hopefully reap big rewards. 1月16日 Stephanie: Cheese TemptationsFirst of all Great Job Shelley for doing the high intensity work out even though you were tired. I am proud of you. I got my workout in tonight. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical. I pushed my self to do 5 more minutes today then Monday. I was ready to stop at 12 minutes but I pushed on to finish 15 minutes. I then went over to the treadmill and worked there for 45 minutes, alternating speeds. I progressed to fast walk/jog and then I ran (that's right). I only able to do it for 1 minute but I have not ran in years. I gotta start some place. I really felt my lungs burn on that one. Food wise I was doing great today. Then the cheese tray was brought in at work. I love cheese. I overindulged in the cheese. I ended up going over my points big time. Luckily I am not over my flex points. I am going to work on curbing the snacking on higher point foods. That is my goal for the week. Have a good night. Shelley: SurvivingI survived my first day of class. After class, I realized though that I still have some changes to make. Pop is going to be hard to resist with early classes. Ok, Steph is going to yell at me for this one. I had a mt dew for breakfast. 5 points and it helped keep me awake. I won't do it again though. I really need to up my activity level. Steph is kicking my butt in our challenge. I have numerous excuses not to exercise. I'm going to change that. I will do some form of exercise tonite. I will push myself above and beyond. Steph is doing great and is inspiring me. I'm going to stop with excuses. It's time for action. 1月15日 Stephanie: InspirationBy now most people have seen the Biggest Loser tonight. I have to say I was not surprised that the white team was voted off. Most teams felt Neil wasn't working as hard, so when they fell under the yellow line, I knew they were gone. I was sad to see Amanda go. She really seemed to want to stay. I want to say though is thank you to Neil for giving me the motivation to exercise this evening. I had all the excuses in the world not to ingrained in my brain. 1.) I really worked hard yesterday. 2)It was a long day at work. 3.) I am tired. 4) The Y is closed now. But after watching Neil on the Biggest Loser and how he did not give up after going home made me realize that I need to work hard to. I may be tired but I need to do something. So I got on my WW website and hooked up on the Ab workout. I only did one round of the work outs for 11 minutes but I did do it. I have not worked on my abs since I started so the crunches were not exactly the way they were supposed to be. Having a difficult time getting my shoulders off the ground. But I know the more I do the easier it will be. I have to say BIGGEST LOSER ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! 1月14日 Stephaine: exercise Wow I feel pumped up! I just got back from exercising. I worked hard today. I started with 10 minutes on the elliptical machine. I really pushed my self on that one. Never mind that I felt like I wanted to fall over during the exercise and my lungs felt like they were going to burst. Then I went over to the treadmill and walked for 50 minutes. 10 minutes of it was at high intensity jogging. I did not think I could make it for 10 minutes on that as well. I spent 40 minutes walking at a moderate pace. That was much easier. But I have to saay that I feel great now. I feel full of energy now that I am done. To bad I do not have time to do this in the morning. My day may go better if I have that kind of energy. Food wise I am on track. I had low point food today so I still have points left whick is not really good but I did not go over so even better. Have a great night. Shelley: UGHOkay, I didn't so good yesterday and Steph got on me. Thank you Steph. This is a reason our partnership works so well. If one of us is off the other lets them know. I used all of my flex this weekend. Some of it was due to hubby and his chocolate milk but like Steph said. He didn't hold me down to drink it. It was the first time he worked against me. It won't happen again. I will stay within my points for the rest of this week. Next week i will act like I don't have flex left so I can stay on track. I'm famous for using my flex. I haven't gotten in any exercise this week. While it's a little late today, I will work on this tomorrow. I start my nursing classes on Wednesday so my stress level will go up but I will survive it. I can do this. The great thing is that Steph is a nurse and knows what I'm going through so I'm sure she will help get me through this as well. I love you, Steph! 1月12日 Stephanie : Official Weigh in Weigh in sucked today. I had a gain of + 0.4 lbs today. Which really is not much of a gain in the grand scheme of things. I was disapointed since I exercised alot this week and I won our Activity challenge for the week. The weight watcher's meeting was good. I love going there. There is so much support and our leader is fantastic. She is another reason why Shelley and I drive 45 mins to another town to go to WW. Shelley actually has a longer drive because she drives from her town to mine about 15 mins then another 45 mins to our meeting site. That is one of the great things about this team. We go out of our way for each other to make sure we get what we need no matter what. Today Shelley was unable to make it to the meeting due to a prior commitment. She was texting me about 5 mins after I was weighed to see how I did. After I told her of my gain, she was texting me support and reminders about my retaining water at the moment and it will come off next week. I just need to stay positve. (Thanks for the pep talk this morning) She is right. I am going to continue to work hard. Have a great night. |
