Finally finding my groove!

Well, so much for posting more often. That is definitely my number one goal this week! I even had a decent week to blog about and still didn't sit down here and update.

So I guess I need to back up a bit on my challenge results for last week . My first goal is to lose "something" each week. Last week my weigh in was 195.6 for a loss of 1.4. That works for me! I wanted to track my WW points five days, I only tracked 2. Still better than the zero I did the week before. I also wanted to exercise five days, I got four days in! Overall a very successful week to me.

Now this week (week 2) of the challenge. My weigh in was 192.6 for a loss of 3 pounds! Wow, wow, wow. That also gave me my little star for losing 5% of my weight. Those little stars make me so happy. My next goal for 10% is 184.5.  Seems so unreal I could be there soon after starting at 205. 

Sorry, digressing a bit.  Tracking was much better, I did five days out of seven.  So I'm getting better.  Working out...that's where I dropped the ball.  I didn't even get one day in.  So that is an area I really need to work on because I have big plans for next year in the fitness department.  And I have already started off this week on the right foot because I just got back from the gym.

I don't know why but I feel I've finally gotten into the groove again of eating well and exercising.  I just hope I can make it last through the holidays.  I want to start out 2012 a better me!  Good luck to everyone else on the challenge this week.  Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing.   

New week - new me!

I really need to get better at posting regular updates.  Its again been a busy few weeks.  I am now the actual "teacher" teaching in my classroom while the real teacher observes me, so I have been embracing lesson plans and smart aleck teenagers.  I am still really enjoying it though so maybe this is what I am meant to do. 

Food wise - only ok.  I still do not eat a lot at school but tend to make up for it when I get home at night. And the scale has been hopping UP and down more than I like.  One day I even was back up to 200 lbs, ack!  But this morning I am again at 197.2, so I feel a little better about it.  I need to be serious about tracking, that is why I am paying for WW Online, so why do I not just use it already?!?  Exercise has been non existent but I am making a plan today to work on both food and exercise for the upcoming week. 

I am once again entering Biz's holiday challenge.  I believe it started Labor Day and will run through the 1st of January.  My goals are to 1)just lose something each week, even if it is only .2, at least it is going down and 2)to exercise 5 days a week (no time limit this time, just get moving) and 3. to track my food 5 days a week.  That last goal is a new one but I think it will really help me to get a handle on my eating.  Of course ideally I am aiming for 7 days a week, but I am trying to work on my "all or nothing" mentality a bit. 

Good luck to everyone else int he challenge and ..HERE WE GO!
