Well, that 6 I saw last week lasted for one day and then it bounced back into the 170s. And THEN I went to San Fran for the weekend and decided (ahead of time and not just as a craving whim) that I wanted some San Francisco style pizza. Yum. The trip had some great parts (family visit, warship tour, Ghirardelli sundaes) and some really sucky (husband's wallet and phone stolen by pickpockets and then he got food poisoning). All in all, glad to be home, everyone is well again and I'm being good again since Monday. As a reward, the scale hit the 160s again and this time I plan on keeping it.
Happy Wednesday!

Pluggin' Along
Current Weight: 173.8
Lost so far: 33.2
Pounds to go: 13.8
I'm almost back to our weigh in day so that's a good victory for this week. The morning hikes are getting a LOT easier than they were and I'm able to go faster. In Zumba I'm just as tired at the end of the class but I can follow along better and I'm certainly more energetic and getting more exercise than I used to. So, yay for some progress.

Holiday!

Today is National Martini Day AND it's World Sauntering Day. I say we make a couple martinis and practice our saunters. Sounds like a fun party, hehe.
Wanna see what other fun holidays (like 'I Forgot Day' on July 2) are coming up? Look no further! Here you go.

Gotta Move!

Today was another first on a list of things I never thought I would say/think. I realized that I'm feeling cranky because I haven't exercised. How did that happen?! I actually realized I was feeling crummy and I needed to go get some exercise so I could feel better. I *wanted* to exercise. Yes, I know that lots of people think like that and it's very common but just never thought I would ever be one of them, lazy ol' me. Anyone else surprised the first time they felt that?

More Music

So I have about 30 songs on my workout list at the moment, which hopefully I'll have posted for you tomorrow. But today I found a site with another great list that I thought I'd link here, just in case you are looking for some inspiration. Find it here.

Start to the weekend
Current Weight: 176.4
Lost so far: 33.6
Pounds to go: 16.4
I read on a few sites that green tea, more omega 3, and drinking more water can help speed up metabolism. The water I'm positive is true, the other two can't hurt, right? So this week I've been taking those each day and I do see more weight loss than I have in past weeks so maybe it works. Maybe it's also a placebo effect but either way does it matter so long as it works? Have a lovely weekend!

Not a lot of time today but I wanted to get my numbers up. I did pretty good this week considering I had a cheat dinner and also had sweet potato fries yesterday (yum).

I'm afraid my blog isn't terribly exciting but since only spammers seem to visit it, that's ok :)
Last night I made chicken quesadillas for the kids (plus veggies, of course) and for myself I used some of the baked chicken, melted a little cheese over it, and served it with the salsa. Makes for a pretty light dinner but oh so yummy and, even better, I didn't have to make something seperate just for me when I made the family dinner. Woot!

20 Pound Mark
Current Weight: 188.2

It's going slow but it's still going. :) I've crossed the first 20 pounds and I'm almost halfway to the goal and I ALMOST fit into the next jean size. Another 3 pounds and I think I can fit into my size 12 jeans.

Better than I Thought
Current Weight: 194.6
Lost so far: 15.4
Pounds to go: 34.6
Well, once again it seems that my last weigh in of not-much-progress was just a water weight thing because today I'm down a couple of pounds which would otherwise just not be possible. I've passed the 15 pound mark.
Salads are definitely saving my butt on diets. As long as I can make them taste decent with ham or turkey, red peppers, a *little* cheese, whatever, I can eat them a lot. It's a big calorie saver that still satisfies hunger and cravings.
Tip: Miniature candy bars can fill a chocolate craving nicely without being too bad for the diet as long as you can make yourself stick to just one or two.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Current Weight: 196.6
Lost so far: 13.4

Still going down but slow. The Super Bowl parties don't really encourage very healthy eating but I did mostly stick to veggies and a little cheese so it wasn't too bad. Back on the horse in seriousness today, let's see how it goes.

Signs of Progress
Current Weight: 198.0
Lost so far: 12.0
Pounds to go: 38.0
Tip: Remember that losing weight is NOT the only sign of progress on your diet.
Well, today is not a weight loss progress today, still at 198.0. I did eat right and exercise yesterday though, so I'm hoping that it's water weight and I made progress I just don't see on the scale yet. Anyway, today is a day where I look for progress in other ways to keep me motivated. I measured myself and I've lost a couple inches from my hips, thighs and stomach and smaller amounts from my arms so I can see the progress there. Also, I went for a walk today and the exact same walk that used to just kill me on the uphill parts was almost easy today which means that some of that weight that didn't go away is at least converted from fat to muscle. Big yay for that!
So if you too are dieting, remember that not losing weight doesn't mean it's not working. It just might be progress in other areas.

Still going

We went to Vegas this weekend. I've never been there, despite living in Nevada, so we made a 4 day trip of it with some people from work. So much fun! I was pretty good diet wise and maintained through the weekend, despite many delicious temptations. Though to be honest I didn't avoid them all, just had smaller amounts, because who wants to go to Vegas and skip the fun? I also got a few purple extensions in my hair. I didn't want to color my hair and this is a good temporary way to play (love it!). So I'm only down a tiny bit from last week, about half a pound, but that is still progress and I'll take it.
