New measurements.

I have to admit I have been getting frustrated. I feel like I am stuck at a standstill with my weight. Even though I have been following plan and getting my good health guidelines in, I feel like I have reached a plateau. I have been stuck at 203 lbs forever a a day it seems. I decided to take my measurements and They shrunk some. Yipee. Even though I am not losing pounds, I am losing inches. So here they are, Waist: 44 1/2  Hips: 49 Thigh: 23 1/4  Arm:12 1/2. Thatshould give me the motivation I need to continue on even when I am stuck weight wise. Have a great night.

Stephanie:4 mile walk

I am exhausted. I just completed my first 4 mile walk. Not only was it my first race, it was the first time I have intentionally walked that far. I completed the course under 58 minutes. I am not sure of the time but it was like 57 min and 52 sec or so. It was lightly sprinkling at first and by the time I got to the first mile marker, it was pouring. I ended up coming in second place in my age bracket. The winner of the walk completed the course around 45 minutes. I am proud of myself. I would love to do it again. In the beginning, I was not sure I could keep up the pace. The most I have walked before is around 2 miles and I usually take about 45 minutes but I never really push to walk faster. I prayed to God during the walk and asked for strength to complete the race. and through him
i did. Now I feel like jello. I could use a good nap. I did earn 7 activity points and burned over 700 cal.
 
Since I had the race this week, I did not go to weigh in so I am not really sure weight wise how I did this week, although I am sure eating at the Mexican place last night did not lean in my favor. I ate way too much. The rest of the week, I felt like I did good. I went over in points every day that I exercised, but I did not use all my extra 25 weekly points until last night at Mexican. I had gotten all my good health guidelines in like I was supposed to. I am pretty proud of my week for the most part.
Here is the start of a new week. Time to get back on track.

Stephanie: Staying on plan

It has been a good day. I have been staying on plan. I have been careful to make sure I had the correct amount of oil this week. Not only am I trying to eat more healthy, I am trying to feed my family more healthy foods by incorporating more vegetables. Today I made a new dish. Eggplant Parmigiana. it turned out really good. I had to go get seconds. My youngest ended up eating four. My oldest even went back for seconds even after they found out what it was. I learned not to tell them what they are eating until after they have tried it. Other wise they made up their minds it is gross. My husband said not bad. He did ask me why I can't feed them normal food. And that I am trying to turn them into vegetarians, which is so not true. I love meat. Heck I fed them hot dogs yesterday. At least I did not get the bison hot dogs I was looking at. LOL. I also made brownies today as well using a recipe from Weight Watchers that calls for a box of brownie mix and a can of black beans. Puree the beans and mix it with the brownie mix. bake it as directed on the box. It actually turned out good. My kids loved it and I asked my hubby if those tasted normal enough for him. And he said yes. I was cracking up. If he only knew what was really in them. I did another round of the c25k today. I moved up to the run 11/2 min this week. What a killer. i could not complete my last two run cycles. so I just walked the rest of the way and for my cool down. Now I am starving again. That is the bad thing about exercising. Have a great day.

Stephanie: Weigh in

Weigh in this week wasn't great but at least it wasn't bad. I did not gain or lose anything. I really worked hard this week so I was bummed about not losing weight. If course messing up with my oils didn't help. Or the 26 point grilled turkey leg couldn't of helped any. At least I didn't eat the skin o the whole leg for that matter. I did share it with my kids. So I am resolving to do better this week. Only 2TEASPOONS not tablespoons of oil daily. LOL and I am going to continue my new exercise program. I wonder if maybe my starting exercising again could of caused the gain. Have a fantastice week.

Stephanie:Happy 4th of July. New measurements.

Happy 4th of July!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday. This is the first year I haven't attended a barbecue so I have not really been tempted food wise. I have 2 bites of Andy's huge  burrito from McDonalds. I counted it on my points as 1/8th of a serving. That was 2 points I wasted.  I am trying hard to be accountable for all I eat. We were watching my adorable niece today she did not want her pancake so I mindlessly ate it. 2.5 points for 1 pancake without butter or syrup. 4. 5 points on something I really did want. I really need to stop that. I have to say the burrito was good but I am glad I did not eat more of it. one is 15 points. Ouch. that is almost 1/2 of my allotted points for the day. I am not going to get any exercise in today unless you count walking around the park for looking at a few booths until the fireworks.  I know I will be tempted tonight with cotton candy and lemon shakeups. Lemon shake ups are my favorite. Just I do not like all the points the sugar will give me. if it only 1/4 c it will be 4 pts. If it 1 cup it will be 15 points. SO not worth it the night before weigh in.  I have not measured my self in a long time.  lets see what my numbers will be today.
 
Waist: 45 1/2 in   Hips: 50 1/2 in  Arm: 12 3/4 in   Thigh: 25 in
 
Not surprising that I gained some inches since my last measurements. bout 1/4 to 1/2 inch to each body part except my thigh. Which remains the same as before. As I said on July first I am going back to the beginning. Starting over. Although I did not give up and quit WW, I did fall on the wayside in keeping track of my points. Here is to a new me. Have a great Fourth.

Stephanie: July 3, 2008

I am having to post this a day later. Here I am still at it. I had been doing great all week, following my Weight Watcher's plan, or so I thought. I made a hugh boo boo. I have been getting all my good health guide lines in eating my dariy fruits and veggies, water, and oil. Oil is where I messed up. 2 pts for 2 servings of oil. I took 2 Tablespoons daily instead of 2 teaspoon. A difference of 5 points. Such a waste. I could kick myself. So stupid. I misread the dumb measurements. I really hope this doent come back and kick me in thr rear when it comes to weigh in. If it were not for the extra oil, I would have been doing great with staying on plan. Luckly for me I still have my extra 35 weekly points. I started back on exercising again. I started a new running program c25k. I tonight I ran/walked. I ran/walk for 30 mins. I waas feeling good after the exercise was done. Then about a half hour later I was starving. I was wanting something hot and fried and quick. I broke down and ended up eating a southern style chicken and small fries from McDonalds. 14 pts I ended up eating. that put me over my daily point total by 14 pts. I seem to eat more on days i exercise more.

Its been a long time

Wow, Its been almost 3 months since I have been here. Life always seems to get in the way. I ended up taking a break from weight loss April -may. I was unable to attend  my WW meeting. I tried to cont to follow the plan but I was not the greatest at making good choices. Lucky for me I only gained 2 lbs in the month I was not going to WW. But it was two lbs I had to lose again. Now I am having a hard time losing any weight. I seem to be stuck at 203-204 range. It is hard for me, and feel like I am giving up. So I decided to start back at the beginning. Going back to the start of the program for me. I am treating it like I am new to WW and starting the program for the first time. I am on day 2 and so far so good. I am having hard time eating all my points right now. I had 1 left yesterday and 2.5 today. I had 14 after I ate dinner so I had to keep eating snacks. I know what my problem is and I need to adjust. I am going to succeed.
