A loss after my weekend last weekend is very exciting!
And here I go making more predictions/setting goals for myself. Since re-joining Weight Watchers, I have never lost for more than 3 weeks in a row.
So I am hoping for a loss next week - any kind of loss!
My "enjoy it all" meal this week is Mexican food for dinner!
Tomorrow morning I am going running with a friend - Happy Mother's Day to me!

Welcome to Class 1 Obesity
I noticed this morning that my BMI is now 34.9 so I wondered if that meant something new on the Obesity chart. Googling told me that Class 1 Obesity is 30.0 - 34.9 and Class II Obesity is 35.0 - 39.9 (I was 38.1 when I came back from Florida weighing 236 lbs, and 37.5 when I started WW at 232.2 lbs)
Of course I've got 30 more pounds to lose until I am just plain overweight (I was there for 1 day because in February 2011), but it feels a little better to be on the lower end of the 30's. Even if I am at my weight I started WW in March 2010 *sigh* But I feel a lot better!
Still haven't exercised this week :(

Mid-week check in
Trying to get back on track after the weekend away. Doing a pretty good job in the eating front, but not the exercise front.
As of this morning, 2.4 of the 3 lbs were gone. Hoping I can stay on track until Saturday and have the 3 lbs all be gone.
I am continuing to feel out of sorts because I am not menu planned and we are in desperate need of food and I am still not organized after the weekend. Monday I was able to through together dinner from the freezer/pantry, but for last night I had nothing. We had a stressful afternoon bringing my son to see a specialist - I was so glad to have thrown a protein bar into my purse to eat on the way home. With no prospects for dinner, I suggested going out. After all, we had celebrated Cinqo de Maio yet, and Monday was a celebration day of sorts - a year since since we put in the offer on our house and it was accepted. A year since we stepped foot inside our house for the first time. I have visions of Mexican food, but in the end, we were home too early and my husband wanted to mow the lawn and the kids were cranky, so I just ended up making them and me Mac and Cheese (and I had a bunch of fruit and veggies as well).
But the exercise hasn't happened yet. I haven't officially worked out since last Tuesday! I am itching to get out - I thought it would be raining this morning (it wasn't) - but I stayed up too late last night.
Online ootcamp started again and I am going to try to make a go of it this time around - baby steps. And maybe next week make it to real bootcamp at the Y.

Back from the Big Apple!
My fun weekend in the City is over, but I am glad to be back where things are more predictable. I really am such a homebody.
The weekend with my mom and my daughter was fun, but not without my mom's digs about my eating and my daughter's eating - honestly, my mom is getting even more cruel and more self centered as she gets older. She really doesn't want to hea what I have to say when it comes to eating or being healthy. But I didn't let that dampen things - it was beautiful weather.
Friday we picked her up around 9:30 and hit the road. We pulled over around noon in a state park for a picnic lunch (mine was PB&J, hard boiled egg, carrots, banana, rice cake chips, 1 cookie, my 8 oz coke) - I didn't think we would get a chance to eat before dinner (and I was right) so I wanted a big meal!
We got to our hotel around 2:30 and immediately headed out to stroll down to Rockefeller Plaza and the American Girl store. Me and my daughter did quite a bit of shopping there and literally had to run back to the hotel to change to make our 6:00 pm dinner reservation. Food was Italian - I had some bread, a few olives, a couple glasses of wine, a salad, pasta (the portions weren't very large), and chocolate mousse for dessert. Yummy! Satisfied but not stuffed.
We went to see 'Cinderella' - fanstastic! We got back to the room at 11:00 and I fell asleep immediately.
Breakfast was at the hotel - I got 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, wheat toast, home fries, and OJ. The OJ wasn't worth it - It was fresh squeezed and I don't like pulp. I had a nibble of the home fries (they weren't real home fries - they were deep fried) and ate the rest.
We wandered through Central Park and made our way over to Serendipity, with the thought of having a morning snack of Frozen Hot Chocolate. But it was 11:00 and it didn't open until 11:30, so we decided to wait and have lunch there. Before getting in line we went to a candy store, but only got some stuff for the kids. Lunch was a burger (not a very good one, which I didn't eat it all) and we all shared a frozen hot chocolate. Yummy!
After lunch, we went a bunch of places and then to Tiffany's so I could check out their Keys, which I plan to buy once I hit Lifetime. At that point my mom and daughter headed back to the hotel. I kept looking at Tiffany's and then went and got a snack New York bagel with CC and a Coke - not very healthy!) - I never did get a Pretzel, Pizza, or any other street food like I wish I had. Next trip!
After a quick rest at the hotel, we went to the Met to meet up with my mom's cousin. I knew there was nothing at the restaurant for dinner that my daughter would eat, so she got some pasta at the cafeteria while my mom and cousin got tea, and I had water.
Dinner was at Turkish Restaurant. We got bunch of appetizers, and then I got a Kabob for dinner, and Backlava for dessert. Yummy. Again, satisfied, not stuffed.
I had a horrible nights sleep and knew I had a long day ahead. I indulged a bit for breakfast - pancakes, egg, bacon - No OJ. I didn't know when we would have lunch. We drove to NJ to see my cousin preach and then back to her house for lunch (takeout pizza, no salads). We left around 3 and at 4:30 stopped at a rest area. I needed caffiene, so got a Mocha Frappe from McDonald's (my daughter got a chocolate shake) - Turns out that was my dinner as we didn't stop again and got to my parents around 7:30. I was starving but exhausted so chose not to make myself anything at home. I was in bed at 9:00!
The scale was up 3 lbs this morning - Not sure how much of that is "real" - One thing I don't like about traveling is not being able to get my water in. My body kind of rebels.
But back to the grind and hopefully back on plan, even though this week is kind of off kilter.

Weekly Weigh-in #23
Starting Weight (12/1/2012): 232.2
Last Week: 217.6
Current Weight: 216.0
Change Since Last Week: -1.6
Total Change: -16.2
Height: 5'6"
Goal: 149
Weighing in a day early before my trip to NYC.
Very happy to see 216 this morning!
I saw the scale say 236 after my trip to Florida in November, so 20 lbs gone. But officially (well pseudo officially because I won't be able to get to WW this morning) 16.2 down since December 1st.
Making no predictions on my weight a week from tomorrow. I am not using a 3 day trip as an excuse to eat everything in sight, but I am going to enjoy myself as well. But Monday, exhausted or not, back on track.

One Pound at a Time
I know I have constantly said here that I don't do well with goals and 'I want to lose X # of lbs by Y'. I always fail, miserably. Any week I say I am going to do well, I gain...a lot.
We all say Baby Steps and I think I just need to concentrate on 1 pound at a time. Make good decisions that will allow the scale to go down by 1 pound. 1 pound a week at this weight SHOULD be attainable. Not trying to do 1.5, or see how many pounds I can lose by my next meeting. BUT should I not lose a lb, I think I should work extra hard the next week to make up for it. So that is how I am going to think from now on.
So here I sit at home, trying to work, being very distracted by housework I am trying to do before I leave for the weekend, packing for the weekend, being excited about the weekend, being excited about all the weekends to come (I love spring!), and trying not to dive into goodies I bought at the grocery store per the request of my husband (who will be home with my son) and my daughter (road trip food).
I trying with all my might because I am dieing to see a new number. I have been stuck in the 217's for 3 weeks (okay, I've been way above them as well, but the first time I dipped into the 217s was on April 13) I haven't seen 216 anything yet. 216 is the elusive number because that was my starting number on 3/25/2010. Granted, even if I saw it tomorrow morning, it ain't going to look that way on Monday!
Speaking of which, this is what I think my weekend nosh will look like. I will confess that I am very nervous about this all because I am going with my mother who is hyper critical of my weight and also of my daughter's eating habits (even though I keep telling my mom that one of my issues is that junk food was a rarity and forbidden in my house so as soon as I could buy my own food, I bought junk (though that majority of my weight gain is from overeating, not eating junk food) and thus I am teaching/allowing my kids to eat SOME junk - not a lot, but I don't want them to think it is forbidden. Granted, my daughter has turned uber-picky and only wants the junk food. So my mom will be hyper critical of snacking. She believes if I don't give my daughter snacks then she will be forced to eat whatever we put in front of her because she will be starving. Can you said food issues much?
Friday breakfast - Home as normal - may be larger than normal because I doubt I'll bring a morning snack for myself, as i will be driving
Friday lunch - Bringing a picnic lunch
Friday afternoon snack - either something in the room or something on the street!
Friday dinner - Italian
Saturday breakfast - hotel
Saturday snack - Something I bring in my purse
Saturday lunch - TBD
Saturday snack - Hoping for frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity or candy from Dylan's
Saturday dinner - Turkish
Sunday breakfast - hotel
Sunday snack - something I bring in my purse
Sunday lunch - TBD - with my cousins after church
Sunday snack - in the car
Sunday dinner - TBD, probably on the road
I didn't wake up to run - I am mad at myself. I am hoping to go out with my daughter after school or before dinner.

Size 18 Pants are a No Go
As expected, the Size 18 pants from Lands End have to go back. They are too small in the thigh area. Which means I have to wear black capris I hate until I can fit into my 16W (I tried them on for encouragement, but I've got a long way to go!)
I've been making some new meals the last couple of nights which has been very challenging, as the food is really yummy. As it is I probably ate too much as a first serving, but it took everything i had not to have seconds.
Cross training needs to start next week! I'll finish out this week with running, but next week, when my next Bootcamp starts, I am really going to try!
It is May - I am so excited!!!!!!
